Understand The CSET Thourougly Before Taking The Examination

The need to evaluate the capabilities of adults before they can be employed as teachers in California schools has led to the conception of the CSET (California Subject Examinations for Teachers), which has been developed by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing (CTC). The tests are used as an instrument for assessing the knowledge and skills of the applicants who have applied for teacher credentialing.

Skills Evaluated by CSET

The CSET is a series of tests, each designed to measure skills and knowledge in specific subject areas. You will have to take a certain set of the tests depending upon the type of certification you have applied for. The examination consists of sub tests designed to assist test-takers in meeting the

  1. basic skills requirement
  2. subject matter competence requirement for the Multiple Subject or the Single Subject Teaching Credential or the Education Specialist Instruction Credential
  3. No Child Left Behind (NCLB) subject matter requirement
  4. educational technology requirement
  5. competence requirement for effective teaching of English Learners (for a bilingual authorization)

You can visit the official website ( www.ctcexams.nesinc.com ) for information on California educator credentialing examinations. Here, you will get useful information regarding the certification requirements and the specific tests that you will be required to take for the type of certification that you are seeking.

Your skills are assessed by comparing them against an established standard and your performance in the examination is not compared to how the other test-takers have performed, which means that the tests are criterion referenced. The tests are divided into different categories depending upon the skills and knowledge being assessed by the tests and the test content.

1.   CSET: Multiple Subjects
This test consists of three separate sub tests, each of which will consist of both multiple-choice questions and constructed-response questions. The test content is drawn from the basic academic subject areas taught in schools. The three sub tests are:

  1. Reading, Language and Literature, History and Social Science
  2. Science and Mathematics
  3. Physical Education, Human Development and Visual and Performing Arts

2.   CSET: Preliminary Educational Technology
This test consists of two sub tests. Each of the sub tests consists of both multiple-choice questions and constructed-response questions. The skills evaluated by this test are those that are essential for handling computers in an educational setting. The two sub tests of this test cover the following subject areas:
-    Basic Operations, Concepts and Issues of Computer-Based Technology and Productivity Applications of Computer-Based Technology
-    Teaching and Learning Applications of Computer-Based Technology

3.   CSET: Writing Skills
This is a single test consisting of two constructed-response questions based on Expository Writing and Expressive Writing. This test evaluates the writing skills that are necessary for excelling as an educator in the state of California. You can take the Writing Skills test for meeting the basic skills requirement. This requirement can be met by passing this test along with all the three sub tests of Multiple Subjects. You do not have to take this test if you have already passed some other California-accepted basic skills examination like the CBEST.

4.   CSET: Single Subjects and CSET: LOTE (Languages Other Than English)
These tests can be further classified into two major categories.

Single Subjects and LOTE
There are two to four subtests in each of these tests. Most of the sub tests will consist of both multiple-choice and constructed-response questions. These tests are designed to evaluate the knowledge and skills in a specific subject area which are necessary for teaching that particular subject.

LOTE (used toward a Bilingual Authorization)
This test consists of a subtest that is designed to evaluate your proficiency with the method for bilingual education. In addition to this subtest, there will be subtests for evaluating your bilingual cultural knowledge and language and communication skills. The test content will cover the knowledge areas and skills that are essential for teaching English learners in their primary language.

CSET Passing Scores

Each is not compared to the performance of other test-takers; rather your performance test consists of subtests. Each subtest is scored separately. You will have to pass each subtest individually for passing the test taken by you. Your performance in the examwill be compared to an established standard as the exam is criterion referenced.  Test sections within a subtest will consist of multiple-choice questions and constructed-response questions. The sub tests may consist of trail questions which have been placed in the test to assess their suitability for inclusion in future administrations. Your responses to these questions will not count towards your final scores. Each test section will have a weight assigned to it. This weight multiplied with the raw scores for each test section will be scaled to arrive at the final scaled score. The scaled scores range from 100 to 300. The passing score is a scaled score of 220.

If you fail to pass a subtest, then you need to retake only that subtest for passing the overall test that you are required to pass. There is no need to retake the subtests that you have already passed. Moreover, there is no limit to the number of times you can retake a particular subtest. However, you will have to complete the entire registration process every time you take a retest. The following points need to be kept in mind if you are taking a retest:

  1. You cannot combine the scores in your test sections across different test administrations towards the scores for a subtest. This means that in order to pass a subtest, you will have to pass all its test sections within the same test administration.

  2. The sub tests for a test can be taken in different test administrations and your scores in sub tests thus taken will count towards the criteria for passing the test.

  3. The period of validity for the passing scores for a subtest is 5 years. This means that you will have to earn the certification for which you had taken the test within 5 years of passing one or more of its sub tests or else you will have to retake the sub tests.

  4. Your passing scores in the sub tests of Multiple Subjects are valid for five years within which they will have to be used for the certification process, if you have taken the Multiple Subjects to satisfy the subject matter requirement. However, if you are taking Multiple Subjects for satisfying the basic skills requirement, then you have to take the Writing Skills also and your passing scores on Multiple Subjects and Writing Skills will not expire.

Adopt an Intelligent Strategy for taking the CSET!

Your strategy for preparing for the assessment and eventually taking it will have to be carefully organized and well-planned. Your future as a teacher in the state of California largely depends upon your performance in the tests. Therefore, go through the website carefully, understand all the requirements of the certification that you are seeking, identify the subject areas and skills that are being assessed and work out a study plan that is effective in helping you to pass the tests. Look for tips and techniques for scoring high in your chosen subjects. For instance, the multiple-choice questions to which you have responded incorrectly and those which you have left blank will be treated in the same manner, which is, no marks will be deducted. Therefore, it is better to make a wise guess than to leave any question unanswered.

Make sure that your prep plan for taking the test is foolproof and you have left nothing to chance. Make the best possible use of the available resources and time. A meticulous study schedule will help you immensely in passing the exam and ultimately earning your much awaited certification!

Where are States Today? Medicaid and CHIP Eligibility Levels for Children and Non‐Disabled Adults
Kaiser Family Foundation

February, 2011

Under health reform, Medicaid will serve as the base of coverage for the low‐income population and will be expanded to a national eligibility floor of 133% FPL in 2014. This expansion in Medicaid will provide a new coverage option for millions of currently uninsured adults, particularly adults without dependent children. Today there is significant variation across groups and states in their Medicaid and CHIP eligibility levels. As such the Medicaid expansion will have differential impacts across groups and states. This fact sheet provides an overview of Medicaid, CHIP, and state‐funded coverage eligibility levels for non‐disabled children and adults today and how this coverage will be impacted by reform.

Getting Started in the Reef Aquarium Hobby

Author: James W. Fatherree

FATH T 0110
Photographer: Tsing Mui
Adding corals may be an intimidating endeavor, but our resident reefer breaks the process down so even novice fishkeepers can take on the challenge of keeping their own little patch of coral reef.

If you already have a marine fish-only system or are completely new to the marine aquarium hobby and want to jump right into reefs, there are obviously quite a few things to learn before you begin. A reef aquarium is by no means just a regular saltwater aquarium with some corals added in.

For one thing, you’ll have to pay much more attention to water quality than when dealing only with fish. You will also have to provide substantially more lighting as well as strong circulation, and providing foods suitable for corals can often make a big difference in how successful you are. I’d like to go over some basics here in order to give you an idea of what’s required to keep corals alive and healthy. While the details of setting up a reef aquarium and long-term maintenance can (and does) fill whole books, this should be enough to get you thinking and headed in the right direction.

Water Quality

Regardless of the type of aquarium you have or intend to set up, maintaining water quality is of the utmost importance. This includes such things as keeping the salinity, temperature, pH, and other parameters within acceptable ranges, which is vital to the survival of livestock. As mentioned, this is especially important if you want to keep living corals, as it will be absolutely imperative that you keep the water in an aquarium close enough in character to natural seawater to keep them alive and well. Mixing up some synthetic sea salt and water is definitely just the very beginning of water quality maintenance when it comes to reef aquariums.

Maintaining an appropriate salinity means the water in a reef aquarium must contain an appropriate amount of dissolved salt, which means you must make sure that the right amount of synthetic salt mix is used when making up new seawater. This is typically checked by testing the density of the water, as it becomes increasingly dense as more salt mix is added. To do this, you’ll need a hydrometer (a device that measures the water density) of some sort to test the salinity and make sure it stays in the ideal range of 1.023 to 1.027. If it gets too far above or below this range, any corals in the tank will die no matter how perfect everything else may be. The same can also be said for many other aspects of water quality, for that matter.

When it comes to temperature, you’ll have to make sure the water stays in the 72° to 84°F range and doesn’t change much from day to day or day to night. While temperatures may get a little higher or lower than this in reef environments, many corals will die if temperatures rise or fall a few degrees over or under this range; in fact, you’re even taking chances by letting temperatures reach either end of the suggested maximum range, so this is best avoided.

The optimal range is actually somewhere around 75° to 81°F, which is what you should really try for, as this range is perfectly suitable for corals. Temperatures around reefs also change very slowly, typically over periods of weeks or even months, and usually not very much from daytime to nighttime. Stability is important for keeping corals.

Nitrogenous Compounds

Fishes and other organisms in aquariums give off ammonia as a waste product, and it’s also produced by the decay of uneaten foods. It’s deadly to most organisms, even at low concentrations, so you will need enough live rock and/or live sand to be sure that your aquarium has adequate biofiltration—sufficient bacterial colonies that have the unique ability to use the ammonia as food.

This bacteria-based filtration can keep the concentration of ammonia at zero (or at least very close to that) via the metabolic activities of microorganisms that occur naturally in porous rocks and sand. Millions upon millions of different bacteria live in such places and will suck ammonia right out of the water about as fast as it is produced. It’s then converted to nitrite, which is then converted to relatively benign nitrate by yet another suite of beneficial bacteria, and the nitrate can then be removed in various ways such as regular water changes. This entails simply removing some of the old water from the aquarium and replacing it with new seawater made up with quality synthetic sea salt and filtered water.

Calcium and pH

The concentration of calcium, the pH, and the alkalinity of the aquarium’s water are particularly important for corals, too, especially those that produce hard skeletons. Thus, all three of these must be maintained at acceptable levels. Corals use calcium from seawater to produce their calcium carbonate skeletons or skeletal components, so you’ll have to make sure they have access to plenty of calcium if you expect them to stay healthy and to grow. Coral health and skeletal growth are also strongly affected by the water’s pH, and the pH is strongly affected by the water’s alkalinity.

Alkalinity is the ability (or lack of ability) of your aquarium water to resist notable changes in pH from day to night and day to day, which are unwanted because you must strive for stability. Each of these can be controlled through various means that you should research.

Keeping calcium concentrations in the range of 400 to 450 ppm is optimal, but they can be a bit lower or higher. The pH should optimally be kept around 8.2 to 8.4, and alkalinity should be kept in the range of 7 to 12 dKH, though these may often go a little higher or lower. There are several ways to accomplish all of this without too much trouble, though. You can choose from using limewater (typically called kalkwasser) or two-part liquid additives, or even a specialized device called a calcium reactor. Every method has its own pros and cons, so you’ll need to do some homework and decide which one best suits your budget and schedule.

And lastly (with respect to water quality), you’ll also need to keep waterborne nutrients, particularly phosphorus, at minimal levels. Most corals come from areas where nutrients are available in the form of plankton and other particulate foods, but not dissolved in the water itself. Therefore, the concentration of dissolved nutrients on reefs, including various phosphates, is very low. As with the factors covered above, the presence of phosphates can also affect the production of calcium carbonate skeletal material by stony corals, and elevated phosphate levels can shut down its production completely.

In addition, phosphates also act as great fertilizers, but for all the wrong things. Elevated phosphate concentrations can quickly lead to the rapid growth of unwanted algae, which can really muck up an aquarium and even overgrow and kill corals. Avoid overfeeding your fishes, corals, and other livestock, as fish foods are the primary source for phosphates. You’ll also need to perform regular water changes, use a specialized filter called a protein skimmer, and harvest and remove algae as fast as it grows in the aquarium. And again, there are various options at your disposal, each of which has its own pros and cons—you’ll have to decide which is best for you.

Almost every coral available to hobbyists will require lighting of higher quality and intensity than what is used over fish-only tanks. This is due to the fact that they have a population of symbiotic single-celled algae living inside their bodies, and these algae require the right light in the right amount in order to stay alive and keep their host coral alive. You’ll need a powerful lighting system with bulbs designed for this purpose.

The four basic types of reef aquarium lighting systems utilize VHO (very high output) fluorescent bulbs, PC (power compact) fluorescent bulbs, T-5 fluorescent bulbs, or MH (metal halide) bulbs, and many systems use some combination of these.Various systems also have different numbers and arrangements of bulbs.

Different types of symbiotic corals will need different amounts of light, as some can live under relatively low-intensity illumination while others need high-intensity illumination. However, even the corals that can withstand low light levels still require hefty lighting. Of course, the same sort of setup might be considered moderate in intensity over a much shallower tank (like a 30-gallon), but totally unacceptable over a much wider/deeper tank (like a 150-gallon). This is because light intensity drops very quickly with increasing distance from the bulbs and with increasing water depth. Likewise, four VHO or PC bulbs over a 55-gallon tank could be considered moderate intensity but high intensity over a smaller tank and low intensity over a wider/deeper tank. Get the idea? Your requirements will ultimately depend on the tank size/depth and what types of corals you intend to keep.

Corals are animals and require oxygen to stay alive, but unlike fishes and such, they lack any sort of gills or blood and rely on the absorption of oxygen directly from the water to survive. This means they’ll need a constant supply of oxygenated seawater, which is brought to them by currents. They also rely on currents to bring them food, to keep sediment from settling on top of them and smothering them, and to blow away any wastes they may give off. Water movement is therefore very important in reef aquariums.

Some species of coral need much more or much less current than others, but in general they all require considerably more water motion than what is seen in typical non-reef aquariums. Fish aquariums may have nothing more than a couple of air stones to create currents, and/or some sort of power filter hanging off the back, but in a reef aquarium you’ll need to use pumps of some sort to keep the water churning and to produce turbulent currents.

In general, more than one pump is used, and these pumps should be positioned in such a way that their effluent streams intersect and create mixing currents that move around the tank, rather than always blowing a linear stream at a single point in the tank. You can also buy electronic devices that act like timers, switching different pumps on and off in sequences that create mixing currents, or you could get even fancier and use a surge device that periodically dumps water into the aquarium to create larger waves.

Corals may occasionally capture a bit of fish food or some of the sparse plankton that can be found in healthy reef aquariums, and many hobbyists provide little or nothing else for their corals. However, providing food specifically for corals can certainly improve your chances of keeping them healthy and growing. There are three basic ways to do this—you can hand-feed them, you can add some sort of store-bought plankton substitute product, and/or you can set up your aquarium in a way that provides them with natural foods generated in a deep bed of sand within the tank itself or in a refugium.

Many corals, those with large mouths and/or feeding tentacles in particular, can actually be given food by hand. If provided, they’ll eat small-sized meaty foods such as bits of squid, crab, shrimp, clams, etc., and big corals can even take small fishes. They’ll also take smaller items like brine shrimp and bloodworms.

The easiest way to feed the smaller foods is to find a big syringe without a needle at a local drugstore and then fill it with some food and tank water. You can then direct a little squirt of food-laden water at a coral and let it capture the bits. If the end of the syringe happens to be too small in diameter to work with, you can always clip it down with some scissors to make the opening bigger. Also note that it’s a good idea to turn off all the pumps when you do this so the bits aren’t blown away too quickly.

If you try this, you’ll find that any coral with relatively large tentacles will quickly grab anything you squirt into them with your syringe, but many other animals will grab the food as well. Anemones, mushroom corals, button polyps, and even corals that have small tentacles will take what they can get when the opportunity arises. However, there are some exceptions, and it’s typically a matter of trial and error figuring out what foods a given coral will accept.

Likewise, you should occasionally provide other types of corals, those with small tentacles and mouths, with some sort of fine particulate food. Many such corals capture plankton of various sorts and sizes, and there are a number of products you can use to provide them with the real thing or a suitable substitute.

Or, if you want to provide your corals with a supply of live foods generated within the aquarium, you can set up the tank with a deep sand bed (DSB) that is full of organisms. This entails using at least 2 or 3 inches of fine aragonite sand to fill the bottom of the tank, and then stocking the sand with various sand-dwelling critters. The organisms that live in the sand bed can become a food source for your corals, but more importantly they can also produce eggs, larvae, etc., which are released into the water and can be captured and eaten by various corals. Another way to provide live foods is to add a refugium, which is basically a tank that is plumbed to (but separated from) the main tank, where live foods such as macroalgae and zooplankton can be cultured.

While this short article only provides a short overview, it’s clear that the successful caring for corals takes considerable know-how, equipment/supplies, and attention. Nevertheless, a reef aquarium can definitely be well worth the money and time spent when it comes to enjoyment—so long as you do things right. Do your homework, find out as much as you can about the various points I’ve brought up, and get started the right way if you choose to get into reef aquariums.

‘Slumdog Millionaire’ in Hindi will be ‘Crorepati’

January 9th, 2009 - 9:40 pm ICT by IANS

Mumbai, Jan 9 (IANS) Danny Boyle’s internationally applauded “Slumdog Millionaire” will have an odd-sounding title for its Hindi dubbed version - “Slumdog Crorepati”.The intended Hindi title “Slumdog Millionaire: Kaun Banega Crorepati” was shortened, thanks to copyright issues by the producers of the international game show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire”.

“It was a decision taken by the producers Fox Searchlight and we had nothing to do with the title of the Hindi version being altered. There was a problem with the branding,” Loveleen Tandon, film’s casting director, told IANS.

Otherwise everything connected with the international game show “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” including the sets and music were copyright-purchased for “Slumdog Millionaire”.

“The first thing that Celadore Films, who produced ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, did was to acquire the rights for ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’ since it’s such an integral part of the film,” said Tandon.

Speaking on the dubbing, Tandon, who has supervised the Hindi version, said: “All the actors from the original English including Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan and Ankur Vikal dubbed the film. We got a boy from Chembur Pradeep Motwani to dub for the male lead Dev Patel. I didn’t want any exaggerated dubbing. I wanted a young unspoilt voice.”

Based on Vikas Sawrup’s novel “Q&A”, the film is a heart-warming story of an 18 year-old slum boy who goes on to win a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” game show.

Boy In Da Corner,
Dizzee Rascal,
Remote Control

Dizzee Rascal has been heralded for bringing a fresh slant to a tired UK garage scene.

The 19-year-old's album is certainly inventive. Instead of delivering anthems for the dancefloor massive he seems more interested in cooking up twisted industrial noise.

The sound is angry and unsettling. Extreme bass lines lurch against a moody backdrop of computer-game bleeps, police sirens and two-step beats.

Over the top Dizzee Rascal's abrasive rhymes detail the grimy reality of London street-life. Brand New Day hits the spot with its jangling uneven soundscape, but the album doesn't always work.

In his determined push to break all sonic boundaries the occasional tune wouldn't go amiss.

Home loans approvals have risen for the seventh month in a row, and the housing sector is expected to strengthen further in the coming months.

The number of home loans approved in July rose 2.4 per cent, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said, which was better than the market forecast of a 2.0 per cent rise.

CommSec chief economist Craig James said he expects the housing market to make more gains as consumer and business confidence improves now that the federal election is out of the way.

"What we would hope that, in a more settled environment, people will start spending, investing and hiring," he said.

"Of all the sectors in the economy, clearly one of the healthiest is housing.

"Housing is best placed to take over the leadership role from mining as the nation's key economic driver.

Loans made for the purchase of new dwellings rose 5.9 per cent in the month but loans for the construction of dwellings fell 2.1 per cent.

"While construction loans fell, it was only the first fall recorded in eight months," Mr James said.

"Low interest rates and the skewing of state government grants to new building should continue to support the outlook for building material stocks and developers.

"Certainly we should have construction rising at a faster rate than established dwellings, so we don't get caught with unsustainable growth."

Mr James said the data and continued signs of strength in the housing sector will ensure that the Reserve Bank will hold off on another interest rate cut until 2014.

Total housing finance by value rose 1.1 per cent in July, seasonally adjusted, to $24.180 billion.

JP Morgan economist Ben Jarman said that although the figures came in stronger than expected, the rise was being driven by investors rather than first-home buyers, who typically take out bigger loans.

"Average loan sizes are falling," Mr Jarman said.

"At the same time, what you're getting is activity that is tilted more towards the investor and less toward the first-home buyer, so you're not getting that uplift in overall credit growth that you get when first-home buyers come into the market.

"It seems like there's a lot of turnover happening in housing but not enough homes being built and not enough credit growth to make it genuinely stimulatory.

"Without that piece of the puzzle moving we don't think this will really change the path of the real economy."

Treasurer Joe Hockey's blocking of a $3.4 billion foreign takeover of grains handler and marketer GrainCorp will have implications for the whole agricultural industry, the company says.

Mr Hockey's decision to block a takeover by US food giant Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) also caused a sharp fall in GrainCorp's share price, wiping 22 per cent from their value on Friday.

That took $568 million off the company's value, to $1.99 billion.

GrainCorp shares fell $2.48 to $8.72 - slightly below the level they were at when ADM launched its takeover proposal in October 2012.

GrainCorp said it was extremely disappointed by Mr Hockey's decision.

"Today's events will have enduring implications that will be felt not only by our shareholders but by the entire industry," chairman Don Taylor said.

"Australian agriculture has been prevented from realising the potential benefits from the significant capital ADM would have invested in the long term future of the industry."

But the GrainCorp board remained confident in the company's ability to implement its long-term strategy, underpinned by strategic growth initiatives and strong market fundamentals.

ADM was also disappointed with Mr Hockey's decision.

"We are confident that our acquisition of GrainCorp would have created value for shareholders of ADM and GrainCorp, as well as grain growers and the Australian economy," chief executive Patricia Woertz said.

ADM had intended to invest $250 million in GrainCorp's business had it succeeded in taking over GrainCorp, including $200 million on its storage and logistics business.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Australia said it was concerned about the implications for foreign investment in Australia arising from Mr Hockey's decision.

"Like many others, AmCham had been watching this particular investment application carefully, knowing it would inevitably have a real impact on American and foreign perceptions of Australia as a place to invest," AmCham chief executive Niels Marquardt said.

Mr Hockey said a takeover of GrainCorp would be against the national interest.

The decision was reached after "long and careful" deliberations, he said.

But AMP chief economist Dr Shane Oliver said the decision was more likely based on a sense of national pride surrounding Australian assets among voters than on economic or food security concerns.

"At the end of the day, a lot of these things come back to the politics of perception, that we've got to keep it Australian owned," Dr Oliver said.

Mr Hockey listed GrainCorp's ownership of more than 280 up-country storage sites and seven of the 10 grain port terminals in New South Wales, Queensland and Victoria as a reason for his decision.

Graincorp also handles 85 per cent of east coast bulk grain exports, he said.

But Dr Oliver said the government would still have had the power to act, if necessary, on security issues relating to the port or grain stocks, regardless of whether the assets were foreign or locally owned.

He said Mr Hockey's decision was unlikely to discourage foreign investment in Australia.

Aussies can match S Africa pace: Siddle

Date: November 08 2012

Ed Jackson

Fast bowler Peter Siddle believes his Australian pace cohorts will be spoken of just as highly as their vaunted South African rivals this summer.

The tourists' pace trio of Dale Steyn, Vernon Philander and Morne Morkel is widely regarded as one of the best fast-bowling line-ups in world cricket for many years.

But Siddle is confident Australia has more than enough ammunition in himself, Ben Hilfenhaus, James Pattinson and Mitchell Starc to undo the Proteas' batsmen.

He says the situation facing Australia's quicks is no different to last summer when they embarrassed an ageing but statistically world-class Indian line-up.

"India coming out here, at the time, although they'd aged a little bit their batting line-up was just as strong as South Africa's and we stuck it to them," Siddle told AAP.

"It was just about the belief in the bowling unit that we have ... we can definitely contend with anyone in the world.

"They've (South Africa) got the record under their belt. They've played for a little bit longer and might be a bit more experienced than our line-up at the moment ... but I think we can put it up to them this summer, we can match them, definitely.

"By the end of it we can be reaching some of the heights where they're at right now."

Young gun Pattinson made a blistering start to his Test career at the Gabba last year, claiming eight wickets in his debut match - the same haul Philander had managed on debut a month before against Australia in Cape Town.

Since then Philander has raced to 63 wickets in his first 10 Tests while Pattinson's progress has stalled somewhat following a series of injuries.

But the 22-year-old Victorian says he's back to full fitness and itching to once again tear in on a helpful Gabba pitch.

"Everything's been flying over the last month," Pattinson said.

"Got exactly the right preparation I wanted leading into the first Test ... absolutely at the moment I'm going well.

"We probably are the underdogs in this game coming up against the number one team in the world who have been playing great cricket against everyone.

"(But) going into it, we're all full of confidence, there's a great sense of self-belief in the team and it's a fantastic place to be."

Hilfenhaus adds to pace woes

AUSTRALIA'S once rich fast-bowling stocks are wafer thin after Ben Hilfenhaus became the latest paceman to break down, suffering a potentially series-ending injury that leaves Michael Clarke one quick short for the second time in three Tests.

Hilfenhaus will learn how serious his left side injury is on Monday, but is not expected to be able to bowl in the second innings and is in ''considerable doubt'', according to team physiotherapist Alex Kountouris, to be fit for the remainder of the Test summer.

It is yet another blow to Australia's pace battalion and again increases scrutiny of Cricket Australia's management of fast bowlers.

The Tasmanian's presence in an already crowded casualty ward will impede Australia's ability to capitalise on its strong position in Hobart after another heroic performance by Peter Siddle, who claimed a thoroughly deserved five-wicket haul.

Century-maker Tillakaratne Dilshan, who led his team's bold resistance with Angelo Mathews, said Sri Lanka would look to exploit Australia being one bowler short.

''When they're setting a target they have to know they have only two genuine [pace] bowlers [and] Shane Watson, especially as there's still not help for their spinner,'' Dilshan said.

''If it [the target] is gettable, definitely we should go for that target and [attempt to] win the Test match.''

And there could also be ramifications for the rest of the series as Hilfenhaus' absence will place extra burden on the lion-hearted Siddle, Mitchell Starc and Shane Watson.

Siddle bowled himself to the point of exhaustion in the second Test against South Africa after James Pattinson had suffered a nasty rib injury.

Although a hamstring twinge ultimately led to Siddle's withdrawal from the series decider in Perth, his cause was not helped by fatigue after bowling nearly 64 overs in Adelaide and 53 overs less than a fortnight earlier in Brisbane.

Hilfenhaus is the fifth fast bowler in the national set-up to be hurt this season, joining Pattinson, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and John Hastings on the sidelines.

CA has reviewed its injury management practices this year after being heavily criticised in last year's Argus report, but Kountouris conceded CA was still working to find an antidote to the injury malaise.

''It's not ideal, we've got more injuries than we like at the moment,'' Kountouris said.

''It's not perfect but we're working really hard to come up with solutions.

''The landscape's changed with the way the schedule is, but we've got to get better at managing that.

''We're putting processes in place, doing things differently to last year, trying to make things happen. We're winning in some areas and not winning in other areas.

''We're going to keep evolving and working out the best solution for it.''

Kountouris said the medical staff would not ask Clarke to wrap Watson in cotton wool despite the all-rounder's rotten run with injury in the past 12 months.

''There's absolutely no limits on what Watto bowls in the game,'' Kountouris said.

''Once he plays it's up to the captain how much he bowls and when he bowls.

''We put players in the game to play the game … and if Shane Watson has to bowl 25 overs he'll do that.

''He's been getting through his recovery and rehab through the last six weeks for this purpose.

''He missed the Adelaide Test match because he wasn't 100 per cent fit to do this - to bowl as the captain needed him to.

''There's no restrictions on him.''

Hilfenhaus' almost certain absence for Melbourne will stretch Australia's threadbare pace resources, opening the door for the uncapped Tasmanian paceman Jackson Bird, who's 26, or perhaps even forgotten NSW left-arm quick Doug Bollinger, 31, to be sent SOS calls to join the squad for the Boxing Day squad.

Whoever they choose, however, is likely to be behind Mitchell Johnson in the pecking order as the former pace spearhead was considered very unlucky to be left out in Hobart.

Kountouris snuffed out any hope of Pattinson making an early return, saying the valuable youngster would not have enough time to build the conditioning required to play in Melbourne or Sydney. Pattinson is likely to resume bowling this week.

''The original plan was not to play in those Tests and it looks like [that's] what's going to happen,'' Kountouris said.

Woman attacked at random in Carlton Gardens

A woman was assaulted and spat on in Carlton on Wednesday afternoon in an unprovoked attack, sparking a police appeal for witnesses.

The woman, 28, had walked through Carlton Gardens and was waiting at the pedestrian lights at the intersection of Grattan Street and Rathdowne Street about 4.50pm when the incident happened.

A man unknown to the victim shouted at her from behind and punched her in the back of the shoulder, forcing her forward into a pole.

The victim turned around and the man then spat in her face, before quickly walking away into Carlton Gardens.

He is believed to be about 40 years old with a thin build, olive complexion, short dark brown hair, stubble, and a pointy nose. He is missing a few front teeth.

At the time of the assault, he was wearing a loose grey T-shirt and dark tracksuit pants.

Police are particularly keen to hear from two people who approached the victim to ask if she was all right.

Anyone with information is asked to phone Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

It’s been more than a quarter-century since Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom, the protagonist of John Updike’s sweeping quartet of middle-class life in America, died in the final novel of the series, Rabbit at Rest. In Rabbit, Updike presented an everyman who inelegantly navigated the political, social, and economic coordinates of his time. The glance of a newspaper headline, an overheard song on the radio, the survey of a changing neighborhood—these were the plot elements that directed Rabbit’s dysfunctional march into modern time. Revisiting Updike’s Rabbit novels is a rendezvous with prescience, for no collection of postwar fiction could help us better understand how working-class populism—in the form of Donald Trump—prevailed on Election Day 2016.

In the course of four decades (1959–1989), we read how Rabbit travels through life in a fictionalized Brewer (Reading), Pa. We view him as a jaded ex-high school basketball star, an instigator of dysfunction, an inheritor bound for excess, and finally, a middle-aged man overcome with nostalgia. Rabbit’s life parallels the political and social milieu of postwar America, whether it’s rebellion against conformity in the 1950s (Rabbit, Run), racial conflict and cultural anarchy in the 1960s (Rabbit Redux), financial excess in the late 1970s (Rabbit Is Rich), or uncertainty about the country’s future in the late 1980s (Rabbit at Rest).

We learn how Rabbit’s political thoughts evolve throughout Updike’s tetralogy, a time capsule of how Americans responded to the current events of their time. Rabbit and his Diamond (Berks) County ilk are conservative Democrats, products of the New Deal who support entitlements, defend Vietnam, possess an unbending patriotism, question their country’s economic future, and nurture a working-class intuition. “I’m a conservative,” Rabbit proclaims in Rabbit Redux. “I voted for Hubert Humphrey.”

Although Rabbit supported Humphrey in 1968, he later has a “Reagan Democrat” conversion, voting for George H.W. Bush in the final novel. If anything, he’s the fictional embodiment of a political prototype, a cross-party coalition infuriated by the loss of what communities like Brewer once symbolized: economic prosperity and a shot at a stable middle-class American life. The Rabbit novels could serve as the fictional companion to any social-policy book by Charles Murray. The realism of Updike’s characters and plot lines is a tribute to Updike’s understanding of this durable voting bloc, one that determined Hillary Clinton’s fate.

Updike’s insight stems from his childhood, rather than some removed anthropological immersion. A native son of Berks County, Updike was the prodigy of a region he fondly profiled throughout his literary work. As Adam Begley wrote in his biography of Updike, he was “very much preoccupied with Berks County (Plowville, Shillington, Reading), both in his stories and in his novels; it’s not too much of a stretch to say that he lived there most mornings.” Updike’s knowledge produced not only groundbreaking fiction, but an accurate portrayal of his home base.

A short drive from Philadelphia, Berks County is a magnificent vista of sprawling lowland underlain by rich soil and limestone. Its valleys contain meandering streams, tributaries of the Schuylkill River, once a canal system that delivered anthracite coal from the state’s northeastern cities and towns to Philadelphia. The broad line of the Blue Mountain ridge is a constant presence, while gently sloping hills bound the county’s southern tier.

The urban focal point is Reading, the county seat and Pennsylvania’s fifth largest city. From a distance, the city is an impressive layout of turreted row homes and Romanesque churches, their colorful brick and stonework amplified or shadowed by Mount Penn. In the city’s center is the courthouse, an Art Deco structure strikingly reminiscent of Los Angeles City Hall. A bridge on Reading’s Penn Street links the downtown to its leafy suburbs, towns like Wyomissing or West Reading that could easily blend in to New York’s Westchester County.

Berks County is also the cultural pulse of the Pennsylvania Dutch, a group of German-speaking immigrants who settled in the south-central and eastern portions of William Penn’s colony in the early 18th century. They settled not only in farming communities, but also Reading, which was far more ethnically homogenous and Protestant compared to most urban centers. The passage of time never diluted their heritage, a tenacious combination of conservatism, family tradition, geographical contentment, and Protestant sensibility. As a political force, they tended to deliver the county to Republican candidates at the presidential level, while supporting Democratic candidates for lower offices. Their support for labor often resulted in perplexing electoral outcomes. During the Depression, Reading was the nation’s only city whose council was completely controlled by the Socialist party.

It’s upon closer inspection that one can discern the socioeconomic dynamics of Updike’s literary protectorate. Reading’s impressive architecture fails to conceal the city’s many challenges, from strained municipal resources and corrosive blight to rampant crime and drug use. Once a hub for railroads and textiles, Reading now confronts the realities of urban decline. During Updike’s youth, flashing theater marquees, lively nightclubs, and bustling hotels defined “The Pretzel City.” But this reputation had faded when Updike described his hometown in the 1970s and 1980s. By 2011, Reading earned the unfortunate distinction of being the country’s poorest city, with U.S. Census Bureau data showing the population of 88,000 having the largest share of residents living in poverty.

A few weeks before the election, the Wall Street Journal’s Bob Davis and Gary Fields profiled Berks County’s fraying social institutions in their “Great Unraveling” series. They noted the county’s 30 percent decline in manufacturing jobs, compounded by a 6 percent decrease in inflation-adjusted median income since 1995. They also noted the changing demographics, with Latinos comprising a majority of Reading’s population and the white working class moving into its sprawling suburbs.

In April, Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders carried Berks County in their respective party’s primaries. At a Sanders rally in Reading before the primary, a New York Times reporter asked a retired steel worker whom he’d support in a Trump-Clinton matchup. He responded, “I would probably go for Donald Trump.” A drive along Interstate 78 in the succeeding months clearly signified where the county’s political preference was heading. Countless Trump signs adorned the barns and equipment of farms lining the highway. Trump ultimately won Berks County, significantly outperforming Romney’s victory in 2012 and nearly reaching Barack Obama’s winning margin in 2008.

If Updike’s novels taught us anything, it’s that the Trump coalition is the consequence of the budding frustrations found in the Rabbit novels. The problems that Rabbit encountered were decades in the making. As a political force, their populist strand just happened to reach its explosive point at the polls this November. They represent an economic bracket burdened by financial insecurity, negatively impacted by trade deals, and resentful over current immigration policies. They’re also voters, like Rabbit, who still constitute the largest demographic group in the U.S. But as David Frum wrote earlier this year, this group of “noncollege-educated people of European descent, are not only earning less than a generation ago, they are marrying less, raising more children outside marriage, taking more drugs, and dying earlier.”

In places like Berks County, Trump’s supporters personified a labor movement, comprising Democrats and Republicans who were devoid of ideology and believed Hillary represented the policymakers who eroded the state’s working class. They’re voters who drive through their hometowns, see the structural carcasses that housed steel mills and textile factories, and lament the shuttered churches and dilapidated homes that once provided spiritual and physical shelter for their ancestors. They’re witnesses to how communities like Reading have suffered from decades of job loss and rising poverty. They’re the reason Trump became the first Republican to win Pennsylvania since 1988.

Updike passed away only a week after Barack Obama’s presidential inauguration in 2009. The author’s departure from this world, where he sought to “give the mundane its beautiful due,” robbed him from observing the economic tumult, technological change, and political gridlock that ultimately led to Trump’s presidential victory. We’re left wondering how this chronicler of post-industrial America would interpret the Obama years and the subsequent populist revolt. Would Updike have created a fictional character, like Rabbit, who would listlessly traverse the unrepentant speed of automation and globalization, and the resulting erosion of working class life? In a year of unforeseen events and surprising political developments, this time Rabbit’s fellow Pennsylvanians didn’t run—they voted.

Galaxy Note 4 CM13 gets you Android 6.0 Marshmallow Update unofficially

Wondering when Android 6.0 Marshmallow update will be released for the Galaxy Note 4 by Samsung? Well, that’s gonna take long time, but if unofficial updates are fine by you, then you can grab an AOSP based CM13 ROM from below and run Marshmallow update on your Note 4 right away. No kidding!

The official Note 4 Marshmallow update by Samsung will be due only by February 2016 — which is long wait. And that update will be full of TouchWiz and other Samsung bloatware which you and us have hated for long time.

With CM13 though, you get pure Android experience as Google imagined it, void of Samsung bloatware apps and rubbish UI.

You get to play with cool new animations and settings from Android 6.0 right now.

And in case you don’t like it, then reverting to Samsung’s 5.1 update is easy as you just need to install the firmware back on your device.

It’s raining Marshmallow updates for many popular devices these days, and here are some other popular ROMs we covered recently that we think you would like to know about.

For now, if you were looking for how to update Galaxy Note 4 to Marshmallow, then look no further than the guide we have laid together right below.

→ Check out this source page (by gekkehenkie11) for latest download links, and what’s working, and what’s not with latest release.

[As on November 07, issues with this ROM are many, but most things are working fine.]

Supported devices

  • Samsung Galaxy Note 4, model no. SM-N910F/G
  • Don’t try this on any other device whose model no. is different than the one specified above.
Important: Check your device’s model no. on free Android app called Droid Info. If you see the model no. mentioned above in the app, then use this recovery, otherwise not. BTW, you can check device’s model no. on its packaging box too.

Warranty may be void of your device if you follow the procedures given on this page. You only are responsible for your device. We won’t be liable if any damage occurs to your device and/or its components.

Backup important files stored on your device before proceeding with the steps below, so that in case something goes wrong you’ll have backup of all your important files.

How to Install

Step 0.  It’s important that you have updated your Note 4 to COI3 build. To check, go to Settings > About device. See the build no. It must be ending with COI3. If not, then update your device with COI3 firmware so that your device becomes compatible with Marshmallow ROM we have here.

Step 1. You will need to have TWRP recovery installed on your Galaxy Note 4 to be able to update it to Marshmallow. To install now, check out our page on Galaxy Note 4 TWRP recovery.

Step 2. Download the CM13 Marshmallow ROM and gapps file from above.

Step 3. Connect your device to PC and transfer the ROM and gapps file to it. Disconnect the device then. Remember the location of the files.

Step 4. Boot your Galaxy Note 4 into recovery mode. If you are rooted, you can use Quick Boot app from play store. To manually boot into recovery mode, do this:

  • Power off your device and wait for 5-10 seconds until the device is fully switched off.
  • Press and hold Volume Up + Home + Power button together until you see Samsung’s logo.

You will enter recovery mode soon, and should see TWRP recovery. If you see 3e recovery, then you need to install TWRP recovery for this. See the link above step 1.

Step 5. [Optional] Once in TWRP, create a backup of your device. Tap on Backup, and then select all the partitions for back. Now do the swipe action at bottom to start creating a backup for emergency cases. This backup is really a lifesaver!

Step 6. Do a Factory Reset. On TWRP’s main screen, tap on Wipe, then advanced wipe, and now make sure you have selected these partitions: dalvik cache, data, system and cache. Then do the Swipe action at bottom to confirm it.

Step 7. Now, install the ROM file. On TWRP’s homescreen, tap on Install, and then locate the ROM file and tap on it. Then do the Swipe action at bottom to begin flashing the update.

Step 8. Tap on Home button to go back. Now, install the blobs file the same way you installed Marshmallow ROM on your Galaxy Note 4.

Step 9. Tap on Home button to go back again. Now, install the Gapps the same way too.

Step 10. When it’s done, tap on Reboot system button to restart the device.

That’s it.

See here to fix force closes or errors with Google Play services.

BTW, if you still face force close errors on apps, or Google Play services error, then install the ROM as said above again, but do not flash Gapps for now.

The Paper Jets: Origami Rock

—by , March 5, 2009

Much like real jet planes, The Paper Jets soar through the air, creating a loud, booming noise in the process. Their music, however, is much less airborne, hopping easily from airy acoustic pop to driving rock. An ensemble of four strapping young lads from Jersey, The Paper Jets are preparing for the release of an album with a string of shows, including one at the Axis Lounge on March 6.

It’s surprising, given the obvious influences of Phil Spector-era girl-group pop onto The Paper Jets’ music, that the band is from New Jersey, home of screaming punk designed to liquefy one’s internal organs. This identity crisis, however, doesn’t seem to irritate the band’s members in the slightest way. The jangly guitars and bright melodies of California pop are given a bit of an edge thanks to a bit of distortion and the wavering tenor of guitarist/vocalist Brian Erickson. The band’s emphasis on songwriting and intricately detailed lyrics is a satisfying homage to folk music, and the band’s acoustic shows demonstrate their ability to deliver fun poplets in any format. The band’s first full-length record, Pictures Like This One, is bearing release on Lunch Box Records. Erickson is also a solo musician, and has performed material of his own with the Paper Jets in concerts.

The Axis Lounge is located at 316 19 St. in Carlstadt, NJ. Tickets are $10. Doors open at 8 p.m., and admission is for those 18 and over only. For more information, visit

Valmet Automotive leading the way in going green

PHOTO (select to view enlarged photo)

GENEVA - March 2, 2010: Valmet Automotive, a Finnish service provider for the automotive industry, has successfully renewed its strategy and service offering. In addition to being an expert on premium cars and convertibles, the company is today a forerunner in the field of electric vehicles.

For the Geneva Motor Show Valmet Automotive has developed an innovative electric concept vehicle "Eva" to illustrate its capabilities in concept car development and complete car engineering. The company also presents three other vehicles which represent its cooperation with innovative green automotive companies.

"The Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Fisker Karma, the THINK City urban electric car and the Garia LSV Concept Car are the best evidence of our successful partnerships", Mr. Ilpo Korhonen, President of Valmet Automotive, said in a press conference today. "Despite of the challenging global financial situation we have signed new engineering and manufacturing contracts."

The engineering and manufacturing of electric and hybrid vehicles is a rapidly growing field at Valmet Automotive. The manufacturing of Porsche Boxster and Porsche Cayman sports cars represents the company's track record in the production of premium vehicles.

"We have anticipated the change in the automotive industry and renewed our strategy. Today, the engineering services, originally an integrated part of manufacturing, are also available on stand-alone basis. In addition to engineering and manufacturing we provide our customers with business services preceding engineering and following manufacturing. This way our customers can best benefit from our 40 years of experience in the automotive business."

By developing an own electric concept vehicle Valmet Automotive aimed at developing new innovative solutions for body structures as well as powertrain and control systems and recharging of electric vehicles.

According to Mr. Korhonen, the idea was not to start manufacturing an own brand, but to develop Valmet Automotive's knowhow in a way that benefits the company's current and future customers. "Our aim is to offer a variety of tailor-made services from concept development to manufacturing of electric vehicles."

"We started the project over a year ago with a market analysis and a concept study. We set a target to create a concept of a new urban electric vehicle for environmentally conscious European and American individuals and families, a car for driving not only for showing", Mr. Korhonen said.

As a result of the analysis, a 2+2 seat urban electric vehicle for families with a range of 160 km and top speed of 120 km/h was created.

The aluminum space frame of "Eva" is optimized for an electric vehicle and the modularity makes it easily adaptable to different types of vehicles. A direct drive motor simplifies the vehicle's mechanical structure and increases efficiency. The HMI (Human Machine Interface) indicates the future communication needs between the driver and the electric vehicle. The powertrain control systems have been developed in cooperation with universities.

Valmet Automotive invited a dozen of innovative companies and universities to bring their expertise to the project. The partner companies are Fortum, Nokia, NAVTEQ, Vacon, Nokian Tyres, Idis Design, Cadring, AXCO-Motors, Hybria, Powerfinn, Convergens, Aalto University, Lappeenranta University of Technology, Metropolia University of Applied Sciences and RLE International.

Fortum is a leading energy company focusing on the Nordic countries, Russia and the Baltic Rim area. Its activities cover the generation, distribution and sale of electricity and heat and the operation and maintenance of power plants. Fortum's vision is to be the benchmark power and heat company excelling in sustainability.

Fortum has in cooperation with UTU ELEC developed a charging station, which starts and ends charging of an electric vehicle by SMS. There are four different outlets in the charging station: Nordic Schuko, Mennekes pre-standard 0–63 A, Caravan outlet and 3-phase factory standard outlet.

Nokia is showing a new technology to allow its smartphones to connect to and exchange information with the in-car infotainment system. If adopted as an industry standard this technology, called Terminal Mode, would allow the full range of smartphone features, services and applications to be accessed through a car's own speakers and displays. Just as importantly it also allows the smartphone to access performance and other data from the vehicle itself.

NAVTEQ is offering a broad range of features and attributes geo-referenced to its high quality digital map that enable more advanced use cases beyond navigation and routing. Electric and hybrid cars such as the concept vehicle by Valmet Automotive, use knowledge of the road network to regulate speed and acceleration to maximize range of the vehicle in the most eco-efficient way, as well as calculate point of no return or to identify reachable charging stations and calculate routes. With information on sharp curves or steep hills for example, as provided by NAVTEQ, eco-friendly driving and routing can be enabled and improved.

Very strange blood test results
Jun 22, 2005

Dear doctor, I just have the Hepatitis B test. I am very confused and worried about the results. It came out that: 1)hepatitis B surface antigen NEGATIVE. 2)hepatitis B core AB-total repeatedly POSITIVE. 3)hepatitis B AB-IGM NEGATIVE 4)hepatitis B surface antibody NEGATIVE.

what do they mean? I think these are very strange combinations. Someone told me that Core AB-IGM negative means I am not recently infected, But if I was infected long time ago and got cleared, then the Hep B surface AntiBody should be possitive. Right? Also my hepatits A test results are antiBody-total possitve, and antiBody-IGM is negative.

Please help, thank you so much!

Response from Dr. Dieterich

It means that you have had both hepatitis A and B and gotten better and cleared both! Congratulations! Dont worry if you have the core antibody, then you should be protected from further infection with either virus. Great news! Stay well! DTD

Why does Hep C antibodies still show?
Please I need your opinion to my case .
