See, and I think the purpose of this board is to help the breed, which admittedly everyone on all sides of this issue think they are doing.

My opinion is that's 'what's good for the goose, is good for the gander' so why is it that some folks get their butts chewed from one end to the other and others do not. This breeding was kept secret until someone 'spilled the beans' seemingly just to stir the pot and if certain folks would be up front then topics like this would never get out of control.

I looked, and Sis posts pics, on the average, every two weeks or so. No "conspiracy" going on here.

When it comes to bull breeds, you are PRONE to hip issues, its in the breed. It will never be "bred out" 100%,that is a fact I understand, and accept. To move forward from that and feel wrapped in a blanket of the false security of an OFA/PENNHIP result, is foolish.
I feel that there are far too many variables in the tests i.e. positioning, xray equipment, the tech doing the xray, right down to which vet you have "judging" the xray, etc. to produce a consistant reliable result every single time. I have owned an AKC registered dog with ofa certified parents, that had to be put down at 2 years of age due to severe displaysia. Maybe this left a bitter taste, but until proven otherwise I'll happily and confidently stand by my personal opinion on this issue.

The Oregon Garden
879 W Main Street
Oregon 97381
Popular and educational, this 80 acre botanical garden displays thousands of plants in more than 20 specialty gardens. There is an amphitheater for their annual Summer Concert Series, picnic areas and a café, a seasonal tram that allows you to get on and off anywhere in the gardens, and they are also host to many other planned events and activities throughout the year. Some of the spectacular scenery includes an educational forest with a 400 year old Oak tree, a children's garden, a refreshing water garden, a rose garden with a fountain and a view, a sensory garden, the Lewis and Clark garden, and many more, but unusual for public gardens-there is a Pet-Friendly Garden where "Max" the yellow lab (statue) welcomes all the canine guests. Dogs of all sizes are allowed throughout the park for no additional fee, and they can ride the tram too. Dogs must be on no more than an 8 foot leash, be well behaved, and cleaned up after at all times.

It's funny, the new WWE DVD "The Rise and Fall of ECW" reminds me of ECW itself. Overall, the two-disc set is great, but it just doesn't reach its full potential. Don't get me wrong, this is one of the best DVDs WWE has put out this year, but it could have been far and away the best DVD of the year.
The first disc contains the nearly three-hour documentary that chronicles the history of Extreme
Championship Wrestling, starting with it's humble beginnings as NWA: Eastern Championship Wrestling.
With ECW growing, the "Big Two" promotions started to take notice, and then raided the ECW roster. Then the spotlight shifts to Paul Heyman's fight to get the first ECW Pay-Per-View on air. The focus then shifts to ECW's rise to even larger levels with the help of Vince McMahon, concentrating on the cross promotion with Monday Night Raw to promote the PPV and Jerry
Lawler's appearance on ECW TV. The signing of a TV deal with TNN was the next big step for the promotion; unfortunately, that led to the downfall of the company. It all wraps up with Paul Heyman showing up on Monday Night Raw.
The second disc features seven full matches. Tazz versus Bam Bam Bigelow for the ECW World Television Title in Bigelow's hometown of Asbury Park, NJ and Rey Misterio versus Psicosis are the two highlight matches on this disc. All seven matches show what ECW was all about, adding to an already great DVD set. There is also some bonus commentary with Steven Richards, Tazz and Chris Jericho. ECW director Ron Buffone talks about shooting great promos with Steve Austin, Mick Foley, and others during the documentary. It would have been nice to include more of these on the extras, instead of having them buried as an Easter egg.
I grew up 90 miles outside of Philadelphia, the birthplace of ECW. I remember first stumbling across ECW late one night on Sports Channel Philly, so this DVD is a walk down memory lane for me. To paraphrase Foley, this gave me a warm fuzzy feeling, and made me remember what I loved about ECW. If you don't know what ECW was all about or don't understand why it had such a rabid following, this DVD will answer all those questions.
A great job is done is showing that Extreme Championship Wrestling's draw may have been the "Extreme" angle, but they didn't forget about the wrestling. Eddie Guerrero, Dean Malenko, Jericho and Chris Benoit all had matches in South Philly, and to his credit, Heyman let them wrestle. This definitely comes across in the footage and talks with the wrestlers.
"History is written by the winners." I'm not sure who said this, but I couldn't shake this feeling watching the video. To his credit though, Vince McMahon plays it straight in his interviews. We see Vince the businessman, not the "Mr. McMahon" we see on TV. Although WCW isn't painted in the best light, Eric Bischoff comes off looking like a villain. And in his interviews, he doesn't show any remorse in the raiding he did of the ECW roster. Heyman is upset with that; his major beef is that Bischoff never gave ECW credit. In the end though, the blame for the downfall of ECW rests on the shoulders of Heyman. Bubba Ray Dudley puts it best near the end of the video, saying Paul was a genius when it came to wrestling but far less when it came to business.
Early in the DVD we are introduced to the major players in ECW: Tazz, Shane Douglas, Cactus Jack, Public Enemy, Tommy Dreamer and Raven. Unfortunately, we don't have interviews with everyone involved with the promotion. All of the interviews are with people currently involved with WWE. How you could produce a piece like this without talking to play-by-play commentator Joey Styles amazes me. Also, how could you not talk to Douglas, the man in the middle of the storm during the creation of ECW? How about more from Foley, or anything from Sabu or Terry Funk? These guys were the heart and soul of ECW. Or Francine?
In short this is a great DVD for those of you that want to relive the ECW days, or for those of you that only know ECW from TNN broadcasts and want to find out the history of the promotion. I only wish there were more wrestlers interviewed, especially those people who were major players in the company.
DVD rating: 9/10
Extras rating: 7.5/10

Wargame: European Escalation
What do you need help on?Cancel X
Set in the rarely explored period of 1975-1985, Wargame pits NATO (USA and Western Europe) against the Warsaw Pact (Soviet and Eastern European countries) in battles that explore what could have been. The specter of nuclear warfare loomed large over the real Cold War, but this catastrophic outcome was the ultimate last resort as everyone knew that the first one to start nuclear hostilities would end up wiped out just the same. Large, armored offensives through Europe would certainly have been the core of this hypothetical war; and this is what the game's explosive campaign takes you through!
If you're stuck in Wargame: European Escalation, ask your fellow GameFAQs members for help.

Karma's a bunch of hooey, but in cases like this I can understand the appeal: Richard Heene, the arrogant, self-centered con artist behind the "Balloon Boy" hoax, is about to be charged with a crime. Updated.
Authorities haven't said what the charges will be, exactly, but here's hoping whatever they are they involve this asshat paying back every cent he owes the authorities after they chased down that now infamous—and empty—Mylar balloon over Colorado. At least.
Lest you doubt this is actually going to happen, know that police searched the Heene home early Sunday morning. They also scheduled a 1 p.m. EST press conference, where they will update us all on what's going down. "We anticipate criminal charges will be filed sometime in the near future," said Sheriff Jim Alderden in an interview with CNN this morning.
You wanted publicity, Richard? You got it.
Update: Reader John's supplied us with the 911 call from that fateful day, if that's your thing. [CNN, Gawker]

LORENZO SEGURA, PLAINTIFF,v.T. FELKER, ET AL., DEFENDANTS.
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis in this action seeking relief pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
On January 5, 2010, the court ordered the United States Marshal to serve process upon defendant McQuire. The Marshal was directed to attempt to secure a waiver of service before attempting personal service on defendant. If a waiver of service was not returned within sixty days, the Marshal was directed to effect personal service on the defendant in accordance with the provisions of Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and 28 U.S.C. § 566(c), without prepayment of costs, and to file the return of service with evidence of any attempt to secure a waiver of service and with evidence of all costs subsequently incurred in effecting personal service.
On June 25, 2010, the United States Marshal filed a return of service with a USM-285 form showing total charges of $772.00 for effecting personal service on defendant McQuire. The form shows that a waiver of service form was mailed to the defendant on January 28, 2010, and that no response was received.
Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides, in pertinent part, as follows:
An individual, corporation, or association that is subject to service under subdivision (e), (f), or (h) and that receives notice of an action in the manner provided in this paragraph has a duty to avoid unnecessary costs of serving the summons . . . .
If a defendant located within the United States fails to comply with a request for waiver made by a plaintiff located within the United States, the court shall impose the costs subsequently incurred in effecting service on the defendant unless good cause for the failure be shown.
Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(2).
The court finds that defendant McQuire was given the opportunity required by Rule 4(d)(2) to waive service and has failed to comply with the request.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1. Within fourteen days from the date of this order defendant McQuire shall pay to the United States Marshal the sum of $772.00, unless within that time defendant files a written statement showing good cause for her failure to waive service and the court relieves defendant of this order. The court does not intend to extend this fourteen day period.
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to serve a copy of this order on the U.S. Marshal.
Our website includes the first part of the main text of the court's opinion.

Neighbors sparked Matt Swanhorst into considering Bradley. They weren't alumni or supporters, but a 2008 Fiske Guide at their home listed top engineering schools and led Swanhorst to check out the Hilltop.
Matt's List of Favorites
- Favorite musicals — Les Miserables, The Secret Garden, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat
- Favorite music — "It depends on my mood."
- Favorite reading material — Scientific journals, and the book House and Philosophy, based on the TV show.
- Favorite movie — Inception "because it really got me thinking."
- Favorite sports team/athlete — None in particular. "If there's a game on, I pretty much enjoy watching any sport."
- Favorite school subject — "I like a wide variety of school subjects. Anything that is complex interests me."
"I really had no idea where I wanted to go, but I knew I wanted to go into engineering," Swanhorst explained about choosing to major in mechanical engineering.
Leaving the nation's capital for the Midwest doesn't faze him. He even stayed a night after orientation to attend a Peoria Chiefs minor league baseball game. "That was fun. It will be a change but a good change," Swanhorst said.
A person of varied interests, Swanhorst played football and was a member of a state-champion tennis team. He also participated in school musicals after becoming involved with music in third grade. After being away from chorus in sixth grade, he vowed to "never leave music alone since then."
"I really like understanding other people's philosophies," he commented. "Finding out how they think allows me to think more about how the world works and reflect on myself. I review my life and then think about what I did and how it affects others."
Since his father is a civil engineer, Swanhorst grew up with an engineering influence: "I went to construction sites with my dad, so I became interested in building things." He spent the past summer helping with an elementary school science course through his high school's STEM outreach program.
Swanhorst intends to play intramurals and become involved in music and theatre at Bradley. "I hope to inspire others to achieve the highest they can," he said. "I've had many experiences, but I realize there's so much ahead of me I can't even fathom."

Rated: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, a sexual situation/partial nudity and some language.
Release Date: 2010-08-27
Starring: Peter Allen, Gabriel Casseus
Film Genre:
Official Website: http://www.whoarethetakers.com/
TAKERS is highly entertaining but it is in no way original and because of this it is very predictable. The action scenes are what makes the movie worth watching, especially the one with CHRIS BROWN. This film is like a roller coaster one second you are thinking it is one of the best movies this year the next it is one of the worst, so it ends up just being a mediocre film. The film is easy to follow which gives it a nice easy flow. It is organized, but the fact that there are so many characters and so little character development it doesn't give the audience time to connect with them although there is sympathy towards the gang of high class criminals.
The film shows us the workings of a gang of high class criminals that play by their own rules, such as doing one job a year and not killing anyone; specifically cops. They mean no harm, just gain which makes them likable. The gang love each other like brothers and are successful at what they do by working out every single intricate detail of their jobs in a timely manner. Their leader Gordon Betts or "G" (IDRIS ELBA) is the one to give each of them tasks and they take his advice seriously, but unfortunately he has a downfall his sister Naomi (MARIANNE JEAN-BAPTISTE) a drug addict trying to go clean. His right arm is John Rahway (PAUL WALKER) he executes the important parts of the dirty work. The brains of the operation is A.J. (HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN) he works out the gritty details with great results. Jake Attica (MICHAEL EALY) is the sweetheart of the group, he is the heart of the gang and gives them a human touch; his biggest worry is his brother Jesse (CHRIS BROWN) their father is in jail and he feels terrible for bringing his little brother into the business and therefore wants to keep him out of harm's way. The bad influence and outsider of the group is Ghost (T.I.), on their last job he's the only one that got caught and as soon as he's out of jail he's ready to execute a new plan. The gang doesn't trust him but decide to break their one year rule to go along with his risky plan to rob an armored car carrying over $12 million; they only have 5 days to plan the heist.
Jack Welles (MATT DILLON) a cop for the LAPD becomes obsessed with catching the criminals after they pull off a $2 million heist leaving very little traces. He brings his troubled partner Eddie Hatcher (JAY HERNANDEZ) along and although Eddie is incredulous, as a best friend he's trying to help Jack cope with what seems abandonment from his wife because he is so absorbed by his job; this is never clear in the movie.
The acting leaves very little to be desired, it was hard to believe Dillion and Hernandez as cops; Dillon does look like he's going through a major life crisis throughout the movie but he may look like that in real life. One doubts Elba's British accent when in fact he is a real Brit. Walker plays the same white boy ghetto wanna be as he does in most of his roles. T.I. plays T.I. there are no skills there. I do have to give Brown props for his awesome Parkour performance, that was one of the best scenes of the movie. Finally, our very popular dominican actress Zoe Saldaña was in the film for very short periods and she was just eye candy for the guys; us girls have plenty of eye candy all throughout the movie.
The movie picks up right in the middle when you start getting your hopes up but it is killed with a couple of montages that are super corny especially because of the music that accompanies them. The movie reaches its goal, to entertain and although at some points it is overkill it still does the jobs. If you go to watch it knowing that the well developed action scenes are the only things to take from it, then go right ahead otherwise wait to watch it comfortably from your couch.

"The federal government sets ridiculous food policy at a time when our citizens are suffering with hunger! We have kids developing nutrition related long term mental and physical health conditions and seniors supplementing their diets with what they find in the dumpster and both groups are being told that fresh cooked foods cannot be taken from distribution sites." said state Rep. Richard Morrissette, (D-OKC).
The Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Act of 1996 was passed and signed by President Clinton to strip away liability concerns for restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries and other venues wishing to donate fresh as well as packaged foods to the hungry but policies of the nation's Department of Health and Human Services continue to dissuade and confuse those at the local level wishing to be a part of the hunger solution.
"I've filed HB1418, the Josephine Meade Anti-Hunger Act, to bring some clarity to the issue of liability. We are seeing significant amounts of food waste because those in a position to donate are fearful."
Presently, federally funded senior nutrition centers do not allow patrons to take leftover food away from the site, not even to a homebound spouse or partner, due to food safety concerns. Extra portions are also not allowed to be distributed.
Another source of nutrition ending up in local landfills is unserved restaurant food. As many of Oklahoma's needy no longer have functioning kitchens, thousands of pounds of unserved restaurant food could serve up a nutritious solution. Owners of Oklahoma restaurants have had little guidance on the liability issue and tend to donate sporadically and without public notice as to draw as little attention as possible.
HB1418 directs the Oklahoma Department of Human Services to create rules to update Oklahoma's statutes to reflect the will of the Good Samaritan Act and to include the 2004 findings on food allergens.
"OSU has developed for us a simple one page guide that can be posted on the State Health Department's website and that can be a point of reference for our restaurant owners regarding food allergens. The act of taking cooked food from a site is no riskier than taking home a doggy bag from a restaurant," Morrissette said.
"We're just coming out of the 2nd worst economic period in our nation's history. And, if that's not enough, I think we are also forgetting previous lessons learned about food waste as hundreds of depression era survivors leave us every day. Oklahoma is one of the hungriest places in America with more than one half million food insecure and another seventy six thousand with severe food disruption."
Josephine Meade, for whom the bill is named, was an anti-hunger fighter during the Great Depression and many of her family now live in Oklahoma.

NEW YORK (AP) - The tight ship Victoria Beckham seems to run at New York Fashion Week allowed her newest collection to sail smoothly down the runway Sunday morning.
NEW YORK (AP) � The tight ship Victoria Beckham seems to run at New York Fashion Week allowed her newest collection to sail smoothly down the runway Sunday morning.
For Beckham, there is no chaos or confusion. That goes for her small, insider-only runway show as well as the clothes she offers. She sticks to her vision: a chic, no-fuss approach to fashion.
Things are mostly black and white, and there is no adornment or embellishment. She does allow for the occasional pop of pink, which is impactful because of her restraint.
It's become the norm that David Beckham comes out a few moments before the show to shake a few hands, and then their toddler daughter Harper sits on his lap as the models go by. They, along with everyone else, get only a short peek at Victoria Beckham, who pops out for a quick wave � and stays away from the cameras.
Beckham evolves her aesthetic slowly, and seems not to jump on trends too quickly. The clean lines, looser shapes and affinity to mix-and-match opposites that have been popular during these previews for next spring were here, but all done with Beckham's stamp of clean sophistication.
She turned out slim Bermuda shorts paired with rounded-shoulder coats, and sheer organza track jackets. A tunic-length, slip-style top with a little bounce at the bottom was worn with cropped trousers, and some of the best dresses were inspired by the waistband of a man's trouser.
"Exploring new proportions has allowed me to further develop my silhouette and I have set boyish elements against a sense of femininity that is manifested through the use of lines, waves and textured overlays," Beckham wrote in her notes.
There was a little flounce to some of the short skirts, and some had patches of pleats.
"What became most important to me was to convey a feeling of balance across the collection � there is a sense of fluidity set against graphic structures and this, together with the merging of boy and girl sensibilities are key to my aesthetic for spring/summer," she said.

There is a scene in the soon-to-be-Oscar-winning movie Up In the Air, where George Clooney's character explains to a man who is about to lose a high-paying job – but has a degree in French cuisine – why kids love athletes: Because they follow their dreams. I think the same could be said of musicians. At least that's what the kid in me loves about them. Just one more reason to admire Richard John, the English singer-songwriter I discovered several months back on the old T61 site.
Richard became a professional musician after he was "made redundant" or as we say in the States, "laid off" from a nice job in the catering business. He had always dreamed of making his living through music, and found a way to do it by teaching guitar lessons. Meanwhile, he is developing a nice collection of songs, many of them with a sweet Brazilian influence I simply cannot resist.
As soon as I heard his music, I thought, wow, this is something out of the ordinary. In a word, it had heart. Beautiful guitar work, soft melodic vocals. I nagged everyone I could about him and he seems to be developing a nice fan base. I have very high hopes for him.
Below is an e-mail interview that I think many people will find inspiring. It is never too late to follow your dreams. It might not make you rich, but it might be just what you need to find happiness.
MM: What first excited you about music and made you want to play an instrument?
RJ: I first got excited in music by listening to the Beatles, Beach Boys, early Stevie Wonder, etc. – stuff with really big melodies. I still think of Brian Wilson as being a main influence. My mother played piano and my father sang a lot. So there was always music arod, and I remember there being a pile of Dad's old 78 records that survived his house being bombed during the blitz, with artists like Nat King Cole, George Gershwin etc, that I also loved from an early age.
MM: How did you learn to play guitar and banjo?
RJ: I started playing the guitar when I was about 10. I had lessons then, and also about 20 years later, when I had an inkling I may one day teach the instrument. I picked up a load of finger style experience at that time.
I pick out a tune on the banjo for recording, but wouldn't pretend to play it well.
MM: Did you always dream of being a musician?
RJ: During my years in the catering industry, and being a training officer, I would often dream spending more time on my music and maybe making some money out of my guitar. Although never really as a front man. More as a songwriter or more mundanely as a guitar teacher.
MM: Your songs often have a personal story. Are they based on reality?
RJ: The lyrics of my songs often concern wistful romance, yearnings, disastrous relationships and loneliness. All of which worries my wife a little as I've been very happily married for 15 years! Lyrics come secondary to me. The melodies and music always excite me the most! So there probably is reality in my lyrics, but from a long, long time ago!
MM: I know you've mentioned you really like the High Llamas. What is it you like about them?
RJ: When talking about the current influences on my music I always mention the High Llamas. It's their mix of great melodies, experimentation and originality that I admire most and I guess, in my own way that's what I'm trying to aspire to.
MM: Do you have any other big influences?
RJ: I tend to favour anything with a memorable, nagging tune. "Strange" and "interesting" is a bonus! People I'm listening to at the moment include Richard Hawley, Sondre Lerche, Orwell, Celso Fornesca (Bossa Nova), Max Richter, Keran Ann, and Stereolab.
MM: What new bands and musicians excite you?
RJ: New artists I'm listening a lot to include, The Softlightes (tuneful, quirky, indie) , M Ward, Kassin + 2 (Latin indie), Anthony Rochester (A fine and original Tasmanian Musician), Bossacucanova (Brazilian).
MM: Could you elaborate a bit on getting laid off? What ran through your mind? Were you scared? Confident? Any advice for others going through that situation?
RJ: Being laid off is scary, especially if you've worked for the same company for many years., but with a little help from a redundancy pay out I was able to gradually build my guitar teaching business, make space to create music and do some local live work with several musicians. I may earn less money than my previous job but I'm genuinely very much happier than before. A cliché but true! I suppose any advice to others being laid off is try to look at it as an opportunity to work at something you love or enjoy, rather than something you fell into many years ago.
MM: What are your future plans, musicwise? Do you consider that you're "living your dream" now, or do you have much further to go?
RJ: My musical future hopefully includes more live work and a steady improvement in my recording abilities and to make a little money selling my music would be great i.e. allowing me more time to make music.
MM: How important is teaching music? If you find a way to make enough money from writing and performing, will you still continue to teach?
RJ: Teaching music is good. Enabling pupils to gain even a fraction of the enjoyment I've gained from music is very fulfilling.
MM: You once mentioned that a hosting website you were using didn't satisfy you because there were too many artists to get honest feedback (too many people giving good reviews, hoping you would return the favor). You got to interact with fans on the old version of T61 and you're getting some of that on Uvumi. Why is that important to you?
RJ: Self-congratulatory sites for musicians aren't really very helpful. Sites like uvumi and the old T61 were great because they were full of "listeners," who had no reason to say they liked your music or save your tunes if they didn't want to. Any constructive criticism is useful – but you have to have a thick skin!
MM: What lessons did you learn about yourself and your music during your "heyday" on t61?
RJ: Lessons I leaned from the old T61 days were quite flattering, i.e. that a quite a few people actually, genuinely seemed to like my music! It was then great to chat to them and be a part of a community.

Jason Aldean Wins Album of the Year at 2011 CMA Awards
While he's sold out stadiums and millions of albums, major country music awards have alluded Jason Aldean … until now. The 'Tattoos on This Town' singer picked up his first ever CMA Award on Wednesday night, snagging the trophy for Album of the Year at the 2011 CMA Awards in Nashville.
Aldean accepted the award from ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and 2011 World Series MVP David Freese. He bested Blake Shelton's 'All About Tonight,' the Zac Brown Band's 'You Get What You Give,' Brad Paisley's 'This is Country Music' and Taylor Swift's 'Mean.' Aldean thanked his wife Jessica and his two daughters before recognizing his record label, management team and the album's producer. For someone who's never given an acceptance speech, the Georgian was certainly cool under pressure.
"This is the guy that found me in a club in Atlanta, Ga. and brought me town 13 years ago," Aldean said of Knox, who stood beside him. Aldean is also nominated for Entertainer and Male Vocalist of the Year as well as Musical Event of the Year for 'Don't You Wanna Stay' with Kelly Clarkson.

At what grade or at what math level, should calculators be introduced into the classroom or lesson? Or should I never bring them into the classroom?
Hi shahn;
Welcome to the forum. As early as possible! And as early as possible they should be replaced by a CAS. These are what are being used now in industry and research. Prepare them to work in the real world otherwise they will find themselves unable to get a job anywhere.
In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.
hi shahn
Welcome to the forum.
A calculator can be a useful teaching resource.
My son was given a simple, 4 function calculator when he was about four. He played with it a lot and taught himself negative number theory.
eg -3 x -4 = + 12 1 - -3 = 4 etc, etc.
When we bought him a more advanced TI machine for his birthday, it was his best present. He read the manual with great interest and his comment when he got to the chapters on calculus was "I can see there are some things you've been hiding from me." grins
So there is no minimum age; you may need to guide the learning; not all pupils are magnetically attracted to learning maths like my son.
I can give you some suggestions for things you can try. Post the age / ability of your pupils and the type of calculator available.
Children are not defined by school ...........The Fonz
You cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself..........Galileo Galilei
Sometimes I deliberately make mistakes, just to test you! …………….Bob Bundy

Stocks rise as US manufacturing strengthens
February 20, 2014
NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks are moving higher after a private survey suggested that manufacturing was expanding in the U.S.
The survey from Markit showed that manufacturing grew at the fastest pace in almost four years in February.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 64 points, or 0.4 percent, to 16,104 as of noon Eastern time Thursday.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose six points, or 0.3 percent, to 1,834. The Nasdaq composite rose 11 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,249.
Safeway rose 4 percent, one of the biggest gains in the S&P 500, after the grocer said it was in talks to put itself up for sale.
Facebook slipped 2 percent after announcing late Wednesday that it would pay $19 billion to buy a popular messaging service called WhatsApp.

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech defensive back Taylor Hennigan, named as a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete in February, added another honor on Thursday when he was named to the NFF Hampshire Honor Society for outstanding academic achievement.
Hennigan was one of 703 student-athletes from 259 institutions
at all levels of college football who received the prestigious
recognition. Honorees had to be seniors in their final season of
eligibility who maintained at least a 3.20 GPA throughout their
undergraduate careers. It marked the highest school
participation in the history of the program, which began in
Hennigan was Tech's 2012 winner of the University Scholar-Athlete award, presented annually by the Middle Tennessee Chapter of the NFF. The son of Mike and Leslie Hennigan of Cookeville, Taylor owns a 3.5 GPA in Exercise Science, Physical Education and Wellness - Teacher Licensure. A four-year letterman, Hennigan wrapped up his career on the field and has also been active representing Tech off the field in a variety of roles.
In addition to volunteering with the Better Business Bureau and
Habitat for Humanity, he is a member of the EXPW Major Club. He has
been a regular on both the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll and the
Tech Athletic Director's Honor Roll.
On the field, he played free safety, strong safety, wide receiver and long snapper during his four seasons, and won the Tech Pride Award.
"Taylor is an outstanding young man," said TTU head coach Watson Brown. "It has been an honor to coach him."
Hennigan is one of only four players in the Ohio Valley Conference to receive the honor in 2013, joining Patrick Ford and Nick Vicini of Eastern Kentucky, and Zach Lane of Austin Peay.
Qualifications for membership in the NFF Hampshire Honor Society include: Being a starter or a significant substitute in one's last year of eligibility at an accredited NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision, Football Championship Subdivision, Division II, Division III, or an NAIA college or university; Achieving a 3.2 cumulative grade point average throughout entire course of undergraduate study; and Meeting all NCAA-mandated progress towards degree requirements and graduation.
"The growing number of schools involved in the Hampshire Honor Society each year shows that football student-athletes not only play at the highest level but that they are some of the best students on campus as well," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "Congratulations to each of these young men for their commitment to education and their leadership on and off the football field."
The NFF Hampshire Honor Society capitalizes on the NFF's current National Scholar-Athlete program greatly expanding the number of scholar-athletes the NFF can recognize each year. The program further strengthens the organization's leadership role in encouraging academic performance by the student-athletes who play football at the more than 700 college and universities with football programs nationwide. The initiative has honored 4,081 student-athletes since its inception.
Jon F. Hanson, the chairman and founder of The Hampshire Companies, provided the endowment to launch the NFF Hampshire Honor Society in 2007. He made the contribution as part of his legacy to the organization after serving as NFF chairman from 1994-2006. He currently serves the organization as a chairman emeritus. Each player awarded with membership in this year's Honor Society will receive a certificate commemorating their achievement.
"We have honored more than 4,000 student-athletes in the last seven years thanks to Jon Hanson's generosity," said NFF Chairman Archie Manning, "We are humbled by his passionate belief in the scholar-athlete ideal, and the Hampshire Honor Society allows us to showcase the names of tomorrow's leaders while inspiring future generations to follow in their footsteps."

Dude Perfect 'Best of Bloopers' Will Have You Laughing Hysterically
Dude Perfect is on my radar right now for some strange reason. He and his team just make me laugh. These guys do some crazy stuff but mostly they are just having fun and we get to live vicariously through them. I've given you a couple of his videos recently featuring Johnny Manziel and Ryan Swope and their athletic challenges. This video however, is their blooper reel and it is truly hilarious.
Someone dresses up as a Panda and poor Panda is the butt of all the pranks. Panda is the best! I have no idea who he is but he cracks me up! I think because their is no facial expression from him you have to use your imagination and you know sometimes he's hurting (i.e. the skateboard incident) but I laugh anyway.

The public has one last chance to testify before the Legislature's budget committee about Gov. Scott Walker's two-year spending plan.
The Legislature's Joint Finance Committee is holding the fourth and final public hearing Thursday, April 18, in Baldwin.
The Republican-controlled committee plans to reconvene at the Capitol next week to begin taking votes on changes to Walker's proposal.
The committee typically begins making decisions about low-cost items in the plan, before it tackles the biggest pieces later in May. Lawmakers will receive new estimates sometime in May on how much the state will have in tax revenues, which will help guide their decisions.
Some of the bigger items in Walker's budget include expanding the private school voucher program to nine cities, rejecting federal Medicaid matching dollars and cutting income taxes.

Topic: Jeremy Bulloch visit
Saw Jeremy yesterday at a local comic book store, he was very nice and very interested in what I had to say. I had him tell my Wife that you could never have to many Boba Fett items, she disagreed with him. Whatever, worth a shot coming from the man him self. My local paper had this article about him visiting with a young little boy who had cancer, he was very busy yesterday, but took time out for the little guy and never acted under pressure to hurry the line up.
