Amidst
pressure for schools to adopt off - the - shelf reform programs as a way of improving student achievement (Herman, 1999), it is interesting to note that, by and
large, the schools
in the studies summarized by Taylor, Pressley, and Pearson (2002) did not necessarily view packaged reforms as the key ingredient for improving student achievement (Charles A. Dana Center, 1999; Designs for

changes, all the keeping the thousands of balls up
in the air - that you never want to see it again.
Re 392 Chris Dudley — I don't understand what you mean by R ^ 2T ^ 4 — and there should be something about how optical depth is proportional to R, and also, if you're going a significant distance toward the center of such an object, there is the issue of spherical geometry; if the optical thickness is
large enough across small
changes in radius, then you don't need to account for the spherical geometry
in the calculation of the flux per unit area as a function of the temperature profile and optical thickness; however, the flux per unit area outward will drop as an inverse square, except of course within the layers that are being heated through a different process (SW heating for a planet, radioactivity, latent and sensible heat loss associated with a cooling interior, gravitational potential energy conversion to enthalpy via compression (adiabatic warming) and settling of denser material under gravity (the later both leads to compression via increased
pressure via increased gravity within the interior, and also is a source of kinetic energy which can be converted to heat)...
Regarding the intensity of typhoons, there has been no significant
change in the mean minimum
pressure of typhoons, a decrease

large maximum wind velocity.
For the entire Northern Hemisphere, there is evidence of an increase
in both storm frequency and intensity during the cold season since 1950,1 with storm tracks having shifted slightly towards the poles.2, 3 Extremely heavy snowstorms increased
in number during the last century
in northern and eastern parts of the United States, but have been less frequent since 2000.11,15 Total seasonal snowfall has generally decreased
in southern and some western areas, 16 increased
in the northern Great Plains and Great Lakes region, 16,17 and not
changed in other areas, such as the Sierra Nevada, although snow is melting earlier
in the year and more precipitation is falling as rain versus snow.18 Very snowy winters have generally been decreasing
in frequency
in most regions over the last 10 to 20 years, although the Northeast has been seeing a normal number of such winters.19 Heavier - than - normal snowfalls recently observed
in the Midwest and Northeast U.S.
in some years, with little snow
in other years, are consistent with indications of increased blocking (a
large scale
pressure pattern with little or no movement) of the wintertime circulation of the Northern Hemisphere.5 However, conclusions about trends
in blocking have been found to depend on the method of analysis, 6 so the assessment and attribution of trends
in blocking remains an active research area.
It is shown that the correlation coefficients between

A formal derivation of the dynamic relation between the atmosphere and solid earth make it possible to calculate the
changes in the earth's rotational velocity from the

Drawdown emissions occur when fluctuating water levels cause
large changes in hydrostatic
pressure and create sediments that are periodically inundated with water and then exposed to the atmosphere.

in the response of foliage to
large changes in precipitation by correlating current growth of loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) with the previous year's LAI, and Sperry et al. -LRB-[2002]-RRB- explained how combinations of soil texture and xylem can impose «hydraulic limits» on the ability of the foliage to maintain adequate
pressure potentials to support a continuous water column.

largest factor contributing to drought sensitivity are
changes in vapour
pressure deficit.
«Working with data pertaining to 7450 cardiovascular - related deaths that occurred within Budapest, Hungary, between 1995 and 2004 — where the deceased were «medico - legally autopsied» — Toro et al. looked for potential relationships between daily maximum, minimum and mean temperature, air humidity, air
pressure, wind speed, global radiation and daily numbers of the heart - related deaths... scientists report and restate their primary finding numerous times throughout their paper, writing that (1) «both the maximum and the minimum daily temperatures tend to be lower when more death cases occur
in a day,» (2) «on the days with four or more death cases, the daily maximum and minimum temperatures tend to be lower than on days without any cardiovascular death events,» (3) «the
largest frequency of cardiovascular death cases was detected
in cold and cooling weather conditions,» (4) «we found a significant negative relationship between temperature and cardiovascular mortality,» (5) «the analysis of 6 - hour
change of air
pressure suggests that more acute or chronic vascular death cases occur during increasing air
pressure conditions (implying cold weather fronts),» (6) «we found a high frequency of cardiovascular death
in cold weather,» (7) «a significant negative relationship was detected between daily maximum [and] minimum temperature [s] and the number of sudden cardiovascular death cases,» and (8) «a significant negative correlation was detected between daily mean temperature and cardiovascular mortality.»

And a recent paper by Helmut Haberl and others (http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/0704243104v1) finds that humans already use 23.8 % of the net primary productivity of the terrestrial biosphere resulting
in severe ecosystem degradation and bio-geochemical
changes, and that
large - scale biomass expansion would greatly increase those
pressures.
She argues, «Thanks to advances
in technology and increasing client demands and
pressures,
change at America's
largest law firms is inevitable.»
[13] Chief Justice James Allsop of the Federal Court of Australia summarised the ethical issues which arise as a result of the conflict the billable hours system creates between the economic
pressure on a firm to maximise its profit and the ethical
pressure on lawyers to work
in their client's best interest: «Only a very slight
change of focus needs to be made by a lawyer to
change from (a) expecting a profitable return from running as well and efficiently as possible a
large case
in court, to (b) planning how to make as much money as possible from running the same
large case
in court.»

It went something like this: hotel check -
in, locate room, locate wifi service, attempt connection to wifi, wonder why the connection is taking so long, try again, locate phone, call front desk, get told «the internet is broken for a while», decide to hot - spot the mobile phone because some emails really needed to be sent, go «la la la» about the roaming costs, locate iron, wonder why iron temperature dial just spins around and around, swear as iron spews water instead of steam, find reading glasses, curse middle - aged need for reading glasses, realise iron temperature dial is indecipherably
in Chinese, decide ironing front of shirt is good enough when wearing jacket, order room service lunch, start shower, realise can't read impossible small toiletry bottle labels, damply retrieve glasses from near iron and successfully avoid shampooing hair with body lotion,
change (into slightly damp shirt), retrieve glasses from shower, start teleconference, eat lunch, remember to mute phone, meet colleague
in lobby at 1 pm, continue teleconference, get
in taxi, endure 75 stop - start minutes to a inconveniently located client, watch unread emails climb over 150, continue to ignore roaming costs, regret tuna panini lunch choice as taxi warmth, stop - start juddering, jet - lag, guilt about unread emails and traffic fumes combine
in a very unpleasant way, stumble out of over-warm taxi and almost catch hypothermia while trying to locate a very small client office
in a very
large anonymous business park, almost hug client with relief when they appear to escort us the last 50 metres, surprisingly have very positive client meeting (i.e. didn't throw up
in the meeting), almost catch hypothermia again waiting for taxi which despite having two functioning GPS devices can't locate us on a main road, understand why as within 30 seconds we are almost rendered unconscious by the
in - car exhaust fumes, discover that the taxi ride back to the CBD is even slower and more juddering at peak hour (and no, that was not a carbon monoxide induced hallucination), rescheduled the second client from 5 pm to 5.30, to 6 pm and finally 6.30 pm, killed time by drafting this guest blog (possibly carbon monoxide induced), watch unread emails climb higher, exit taxi and inhale relatively fresher air from kamikaze motor scooters, enter office and grumpily work with client until 9 pm, decline client's gracious offer of expensive dinner, noting it is already midnight my time, observe client fail to correctly set office alarm and endure high decibel «warning, warning» sounds that are clearly designed to send security rushing... soon... any second now... develop new form of nausea and headache from piercing, screeching, sounds - like - a-wailing-baby-please-please-make-it-stop-alarm, note the client is relishing the extra (free) time with us and is still talking about work, admire the client's ability to focus under extreme aural
pressure, decide the client may be a little too work focussed, realise that I probably am too given I have just finished work at 9 pm... but then remember the 200 unread emails
in my inbox and decide I can resolve that incongruency later (
in a quieter space), become sure that there are only two possibilities — there are no security staff or they are deaf — while my colleague frantically tries to call someone who knows what to do, conclude after three calls that no - one does, and then finally someone finally does and... it stops.
