HS as the new larry king? funny and fitting in many ways.
☃ "There are entire websites dedicated to how ugly my wife is."
dont you know only jews can save things! spiderman, green hornet, cnn....
The same thread from YESTERDAY is like 3 threads down. WTF
He hasn't been able to save his own radio show; how is he going to save someone else's network?
-CNN needs another old fossil at 9pm....America loved Larry King?
-"Meantime, Stern, like Piers Morgan, began his big-time American TV career on "America's Got Talent." (an insult to Wiggy...)
-Yes, Stern definitely has a face for radio, but it's not like King or Dr. Phil McGraw could pass for George Clooney, either.
Lisa forgot the part about Stern Ratings failure causing a revamp (MASS FIRING) at AGT for season #8?
Last edited by Nemo; 01-03-2013 at 02:30 AM.
Guess that Bushwald is hard at work again. Time to ramp up "offers" to Stern so that he can negotiate with Sirius again.
I am just waiting for SIM cards , many terrestrial contracts and that Apple wants to spend 700 million on Stern...
BTW. The most stupid rumour by Bushwald was that Steve Jobs would spend 700 million on Howard to make him iTunes exclusive. You may hate Apple, but Steve did never spend money on idiotic things.
Sorry for my bad grammar. I am a non-English retard.
Howard is preparing a lawsuit against CNN, just in case they hire him.
For a media critic Linda Stasi is horrible. Aside from completely making up this so-called evolution that Howard went through on AGT (which never happened, he bagn as a douche and ended as an even bigger one) but she touts Katie Couric's daytime talk show as one of Jeff Zucker's successes when they spent a shitload of money on it and it gets worse rating than Maury Povich and Steve Harvey and doesn't even have as big of an audience as the canceled soap operas whose time slot the show took over.
A few years back there was fantasy talk about Howard saving Conan O'Brien's show too. Seems like the same script with the names changed.
My thought at that time are the same as now. Who's going to save THSS?
He's too fuckin' stupid to do an interview show like Larry
Listen up assholes...The above is my opinion and doesn't mean shit

WEBSTER COUNTY, Ky. (3/20/13) - The Webster County School Board took another step towards officially beginning work on the middle school project Monday night when they okayed two requests from Clotfelter-Samokar, the engineering firm that is overseeing the project.
The first item was to approve the surveying of land around the wing of the high school that will eventually house the middle school. Before work begins in that area, which will primarily be the middle school parking lot, the school must document existing underground utilities that might be run through that area as well as develop a plan for elevation and drainage.
The second item was to approve the changing of one of the science rooms in the blueprint to an art room. According to a representative with Clotfelter-Samokar, the current design calls for three science rooms while the middle school would share the art room with the high school. This move was a suggestion that came back from the Kentucky Department of Education, where the district's construction permit, or BG-1, is under consideration.
The WCHS site based committee was on hand for a dialogue session with board members. High school principal Tim Roy began by detailing the school's current focus on preparing kids for success in high school and beyond.
"This year we're focusing on seniors," Roy said. "As we expand we will encompass all students. We will know every score of ever assessment test the kids have taken, such as the ACT, ASVAB and Compass. We will know where students are on preparation for life after high school."
Roy said that this year, the focus on college and career readiness has brought the entire Dixon campus together. The high school administration has worked very closely with the ag department and tech school on several initiatives and to make it easier for students to take classes at the adjoining Area Technology Center.
He also said that when Webster County Middle School opens in the fall of 2014, both the high school and tech school administration are eagerly looking to get the middle schoolers involved.
"We want to get the kids into the classes and keep them there," Roy said.
"Not all children are going to go to college," added board chairman Jeff Pettit. "Some will join the workforce, and it's as important for them to be ready as it is for someone who is going to college."
Roy and the SBDM council also discussed the need for both an onsite College/Career Readiness Coordinator and a Curriculum Coordinator. Currently the College/Career Readiness Coordinator works only 35 days a year and is paid for by funds from Trojan Academy.
The Curriculum Coordinator is filled by a teacher who spends just 55 minutes a day on the job.
"But needs are significant and funds are small," Roy said.
"We want to give as much money to the SBDM as we can," said Jeff Pettit. "Unfortunately we're limited on what we have available."
Pettit and board member Tim McCormick suggested the creation of a combination grant writer and curriculum coordinator could be a solution, pointing out that Crittenden County recently received a grant for $600,000 for their middle school.
"We would have to front fund the position, but it could very well pay for itself," Pettit said.
No decisions were made on the subject.
Webster County Food Service Director Shane Bosaw made a presentation to the board. First he told them that they had recently received a $150,000 Obesity Grant, but it's not for funds that can be used at the school. Instead the money goes to the University of Kentucky to fund research on childhood obesity. At the completion of the research a larger grant is expected to help schools involved revamp their food services.
Bosaw announced the creation of the Webster County Jr. Chef team. Consumer Science teacher Traci Mattingly will serve as the coach. The team will compete locally against teams from surrounding counties, and then have an opportunity to compete at the state fair.
The board approved two proposals from Mr. Bosaw. The first was to allow food services to spend between $20,000 and $200,000 of its allotted funding to buy kitchen equipment that will be needed at the Annex (the cafeteria that currently serves Dixon Elementary and WCHS) when the middle school opens.
Another approved proposal was for food services to spend between @20,000 and $40,000 for improvements to the Sebree Elementary dish room. This includes purchase of a new dishwasher, estimated to cost between $35,000 and $40,000. The current dishwasher was installed in 1987 and had a life expectancy of only 15 years.
Bosaw also suggested making two changes to the food service staff. He asked that the current food services manager at the annex be renamed Annex Personnel Manager and that a second position called Annex Office Manager be created. The creation would cost only approximately $1,200 because someone is already doing the job.
There was still no decision on the Clay sidewalk and playground, but the board continues to discuss options. According to superintendant Dr. James Kemp, repairing the current sidewalk is impossible because it is not on school property. Law prohibits the school from spending money on projects not on its own property.
Building a new sidewalk will likely cost the board between $60,000 and $70,000. Moving the playground onto the hill near the school by the basketball court will cost approximately $25,000.
With the job most likely not getting underway until after the school year, the board instructed Dr. Kemp and Dennis Parrish to continue researching their options.
Assistant Superintendant Riley Ramsey reported to the board that the fiber optics project was well underway.
Chairman Pettit wanted to make it clear to the public that the district is not running fiber optics to the former Slaughters Elementary school. Part of the project is that it brings fiber optic capability not only to the schools, but the towns in the county as well. Work going on in the area of the former school is actually to create an access point for the city of Slaughters.
The board meeting scheduled for 6:30 p.m. on April 8, 2013 in the board conference room was moved to the Annex.
With nothing further to discuss, the meeting was adjourned.

Evidence in, closing arguments next in corruption trial of former Detroit Mayor Kilpatrick
Juror will get instructions after nearly 70 days of testimony
Jurors will get critical instructions from a judge and then hear closing arguments in the corruption trial of former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, his father and a longtime pal who got millions in city contracts.
Kilpatrick faces years in prison if convicted of the charges, which range from racketeering conspiracy to tax crimes.
READ: Final charges against Kilpatrick set before jury gets case
The government says he shamelessly shook down contractors and his own political fundraiser and turned a nonprofit fund into a slush fund for travel and personal luxuries.
Jurors are returning for closing arguments Monday in Detroit federal court after hearing nearly 70 half-days of testimony.
There were 80 witnesses for the prosecution and 11 for the defense.
READ: Charge against Bernard Kilpatrick dropped from corruption trial
READ: Recap: Testimony ends in Kilpatrick corruption trial
Some of the allegations go back to Kilpatrick's days in the state Legislature before he was elected mayor in 2001.
He denies any wrongdoing but declined to tell his version to jurors.

Today on 360
One of the first studies to come out of a new social work program at TCU concerns student's views toward the homeless.
To get a closer look at views that university students hold, four first-year graduate students recently conducted a social work project surveying students regarding their attitudes and perceptions about the homeless.
Imagine waking up twice a week at 4:30 a.m., attempting to memorize countless patient medications, driving 30 minutes or more to a hospital and spending the rest of your day taking care of a patient and learning about hospital procedures.
Such is the life of a TCU nursing student during a clinical, a real world experience designed to facilitate the acquisition of practical knowledge and skills. While enrolled in a clinical, nursing students wake up while most of their peers are still sound asleep.
TCU will open for classes and activities at 10:30 a.m. Monday, according to a TCU alert that was sent out to students around 7:00 p.m. Sunday night.
The alert is the third students have recieved in the past four days, the first two informing students of TCU cancelling all classes and activities for Friday and Saturday.
Provost Nowell Donovan emailed a message to all students shortly after the alert, explaining the process in which finals would be reschuedled due to the late opening.

Hi Chris,
If your daughter attends public school, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) provides for free testing and special education services for children with learning disabilities. The National Center for Learning Disabilities provides a comprehensive parent guide to IDEA, which you can find here: http://www.ncld.org/parents-child-disabilities/idea-guide.
In addition to consulting with the school system, we suggest that she speaks to her regular physician about her symptoms. Primary care physicians have intimate knowledge about the health of their patients and should be able to recommend the appropriate referral.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to contact our office at 918-549-7400.

Hi, Cynthia,
Thank you for your question. You are not alone. Millions of adults struggle with reading and numbers. There are many different kinds of doctors that can medically diagnose someone with a learning disability, including psychometrists, clinical psychologists, and some neuropsychologists.
If you suspect you might have a learning disability, speak to your regular physician about your options. You might also check out the Learning Disabilities Association of America at http://www.ldanatl.org/ for helpful resources, accomodation techniques, and answers to frequently asked questions.
And if you are interested in receiving free, one-on-one help to improve your reading skills, please call our Adult Literacy Service at 918-549-7400. We are here to help.

Sources from inside the country say the flag poles popping up all over the country.
Are actually electronic antenna is used to jam communications and block their own citizens from getting Internet TV.
And radio signals why.

-- -- So obviously you have inside sources inside the country of Iran why would they be trying to fool their own citizens as to what the real mission of these flag -- -- Because that's their biggest threat the biggest threat to the regime as we've seen since 2009.
When -- running government was caught off guard and -- many of its citizens having such a large presence on the Internet.
Getting information from outside the country and sending information from inside the country out it was even called the Twitter revolution if -- a call.
We saw the Iranians using FaceBook and using Twitter using YouTube.
Blocking -- us citizen journalists and this is exactly the communication in the dialogue that the government wants to control.
So they're putting up these satellite blockers is -- working.
It's working for that time being but as we've seen again since 2009.

Healing on the High Seas – Part 2 March 4, 2012
Posted by Tracy in : Uncategorized , trackbackSunday dawned somewhere over the high seas, and we emerged poolside to find the yoga instructor cheerily calling out over a stiff ocean breeze: "Remember, surrender all resistance; we're in battlefield conditions. This will strengthen your practice!"
A hundred pairs of arms reached for the sky as the last shades of pink faded away, and another brisk troupe circled the track overhead. "Just go to the edge of your comfort zone – remember, it's vacation yoga!"
It's morning workout time on the MSC Poesia, the chartered cruise line for the Holistic Holiday at Sea, and poolside chats are at a minimum – 1,200 cruise passengers are here with a mission, and I'm no exception. I'm here with my parents – Dad, who has recently made the switch from meat-and-potatoes guy to hardcore macrobiotic in an attempt to beat back a terminal cancer diagnosis, and it didn't take long to find we're surrounded by kindred spirits. For them, it's not just a cruise; it's a matter of life or death.
After breakfast we made a quick break for the packed Pigalle Lounge, where there's barely room to squeeze in for a cooking demo by Christina Pirello, charismatic macrobiotic chef, television personality and author of bestsellers such as I'm Mad as Hell and I'm Not Going to Eat it Anymore. Pirello was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 26 and instead of going for medical treatment, went macrobiotic; she's one of dozens here with similar stories.
The irrepressible redhead peppers her presentation with one-liners aimed at bad eaters, non-cooks and the food industry ("Twizzlers, Diet Coke and big butt cookies are all vegan," she warns) as she whips up a red lentil soup with corn and a pan-fried tofu with vegetables. Her cooking class is a challenge to all of us to step up our game. "There are many levels of illness, and most of us don't pay attention until we get pretty deep," she says, enumerating them along with the signs of health: Clarity of thought, appetite for life, good sleep, good memory, and stamina.
Her ultimate invocation will stay with me for a long time.
"We live in serious times and we need leaders with stamina," she said. "If you don't have stamina, step aside and let someone who does. Without stamina, nothing will change; we have to stand up and fight."
What she's talking about is clear to this fired-up crowd, mad at the food industry, mad at Big Pharma, mad at a medical industry they see as rigged toward profit over health, treatment over prevention, palliative care over definitive cure. Heavy stuff for a float on the Caribbean, but nobody seems to be moving toward the pool.
It's easy to forget we're aboard a cruise ship with this packed schedule, four to six workshops to choose from at any given time. But it wasn't until after lunch – a truly delightful five-course gourmet macrobiotic extravaganza featuring delights like tempeh with soy-simmered shitake and wasabe sauce, orange arame watercress salad and lentil walnut paté – that I realized how serious this crowd really was.
We were more than a thousand strong in the bright purple Carlo Fellini theater, listening to "Understanding the Scientific Evidence for Plant-Based Nutrition" by Dr. Colin T. Campbell, author of The China Study, relating the story of his discovery that high levels of animal-based protein – specifically milk products – cause cancer. High, but yet not as high as the USDA's Recommended Daily Allowance – 20% protein, compared to the RDA's maximum of 35%.
The story he lays out is at once compelling and infuriating when it begins to become clear that study after peer-reviewed study demonstrating the link over more than two decades of research has produced barely a ripple in the wider world, particularly after the years he's spent meeting with top-level policymakers on Capitol Hill and sharing the need for a different, less pharmaceutical-dominated model. But it's a story this audience knows well.
"Why are we sticking our heads in the sand?" he asked rhetorically. "Why is the professional and policy-making world failing to take action on this data?"
His answer boils down to one word: Money. Lobbyists from the medical industry have so thoroughly infiltrated the government and medical profession that there is no longer an objective approach to judgment, either at the individual or collective level.
Campbell's research showed not only a persuasive causal link between animal proteins and cancer, but it went further. Amazingly, in one study with mice, he was able to actually turn the cancer on and off by varying the dose of animal protein.
His work was corresponded by that of Dr. Neil Barnard, who showed a similar causal link between animal proteins and diabetes, and a remarkable recovery rate among Type II diabetes patients who went on a macrobiotic diet. And on another front is Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn Jr., who has similarly shown major turnarounds in heart disease among patients who turn to a plant-based diet.
Caldwell's talk was followed by a similarly riveting one by Barnard, and then another by Gabriel Cousins, another medical doctor who is also a rabbi and a yogi and a Native American fire dancer as well as a vegan practitioner and teacher, speaking on the spiritual underpinnings of veganism – and then it was time for the vegan ice-cream social, thankfully, as my head was about to explode. My parents, however, were smiling and nodding through all of it – this is material that reinforces their own self-study.
Tomorrow's program looks equally motivating. Meanwhile, Dad shared his story with a tiny grey-haired woman waiting in line for lunch, as we were. Betty Hoehn shared hers, as well, and it was a stunner. A little over a decade ago, she was diagnosed with leukemia and told she had about nine years to live – not happy news, but not enough to send her into a tailspin, as she was 62 already. It wasn't until four years later, when the disease had progressed to Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, that she realized she had much less time than she'd thought. At the oncologist's office, she learned she'd have to have a kidney removed, but that even so, it probably wouldn't help much, as her spleen was growing rapidly and her prognosis was grim.
For some reason she'll never quite fathom – "I call it a God incident – not a co-incidence," she says – she picked up a magazine at the oncologist's office and it happened to have an ad on the back page for the Holistic Holiday at Sea health cruise. She shared it with her husband Al. "He said, let's do it," she recalls. "After breakfast lunch and dinner with all these people telling us their healing stories, I went back to my cabin and I said, 'I'm feeling better already.'"
She went on to adopt a macrobiotic diet, along with Al, who teamed up with her on the cooking. A few months later she went in and had her T-cells counted; the technician called her aside and said she couldn't find enough to indicate that there was cancer. And then she received a call on her cell phone while she was in the grocery store. It was her doctor; her cancer was gone. She recalls with a laugh pushing her cart down the aisles, tears rolling down her face.
I looked at my father who had been hanging on every word. He was pretty weepy-eyed, himself, at the moment. It turned out that Betty was about to turn 73 tomorrow – just like Dad.
Five years later, Al has recovered from his Type II diabetes – and she is cancer free.
Hoehn is one of a lineup who will share their stories tomorrow in a Recovery Panel of survivors of all kinds of diseases. That's the type of inspiration that keeps people like Holm coming back year after year. Tomorrow's another day with another lineup of inspirations.

Prehistoric Pals
This program is Full.
Program Number:
Program Type:
Summer Camp
Jul. 22, 2013 | Monday, 8:45am
Multiple Times:
Monday - Friday, 8:45am-12:15pm
Location: Museum of Natural Sciences - 3rd Floor Classrooms
$85 ($80 for Friends of the Museum)
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a giant ground sloth in your backyard? How about a wooly mammoth or a dinosaur? We'll learn all about these "prehistoric pals" that roamed the earth millions of years ago. Campers will get to dig through real fossil dirt to look for fossilized shark teeth and the remains of other ancient creatures- just like a paleontologist! We will also get a chance to meet animals considered "living fossils" because they've been around for ages.
Registration information: Registration required. Please visit the Summer Camp Frequently Asked Questions page for more information.
If you have questions, please contact Megan Chesser at 919.707.9889 or email@example.com

GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists. The software aims to provide a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content: text, mathematics, graphics, interactive content. TeXmacs can also be used as an interface to many external systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, and statistics. New presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be added to the editor using Scheme.
white_dune is a graphical VRML97/X3DV editor, simple NURBS/Superformula 3D modeller, animation tool, and VRML97/X3DV commandline compiler in development. VRML97 (Virtual Reality Modeling Language) is the ISO standard for displaying 3D data over the Web via browser plugins ("HTML for realtime 3D"). X3DV is the direct successor of VRML97. VRML97 and X3DV have support for animation, real-time interaction, and multimedia (images, movies, and sounds). white_dune can read, create, and display VRML97/X3DV files and let the user change the scenegraph/fields. It also has support for stereoscopic view via "quadbuffer"-capable stereo visuals, and support for 3D input devices like a joystick, spaceball, or magnetic tracker.
QCAD is an application for computer aided drafting (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). With QCAD, you can create technical drawings such as plans for buildings, interiors, mechanical parts, or schematics and diagrams. QCAD can be easily extended through plugins and its very powerful and complete ECMAScript (JavaScript) interface.
Gwyddion is a modular SPM (Scanning Probe Microsope) data visualization and analysis tool. It can be used for all most frequently used data processing operations including: leveling, false color plotting, shading, filtering, denoising, data editing, integral transforms, grain analysis, profile extraction, fractal analysis, and many more. The program is primarily focused on SPM data analysis (e.g. data obtained from AFM, STM, NSOM, and similar microscopes). However, it can also be used for analyzing SEM (scaning electron microscopy) data or any other 2D data.
QGolf was developed for radio amateurs to clarify the behaviour of a signal on an antenna. It demonstrates the forces that act on a rope if you move one end of it: you can see how waves are reflected, how resonance occurs, and how multiple pulses coexist on the same rope. Various parameters can be updated during the simulation.
Veusz is a scientific plotting package, designed to create publication-ready Postscript, PDF, or SVG output. It features an easy to use graphical interface as well as a command line interface and can be scripted or embedded in Python scripts. Graphs are constructed in a modular fashion from separate components. Datasets can be interactively modified or created from within the program.
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
A program to generate and solve "travelling salesman problem" tasks.

safe • smart • simple
I just received my order and wanted to tell you how delighted I am both with the order and the service...I'm sure I'll be purchasing from you in the future.
Includes: Qty 2, Pink GreenPaxx Reusable Silicone Straws
With its patent-pending design, the COOL CAP has two rings on its underside that can each be stretched to fit several different sized beverage rims. It securely fits almost all drinking glasses, with the small exception of glasses whose rims are close in size to their base.(flute-like glasses) It even stretches to fit square rimmed glasses! The average size glass rim it will fit is 3.25 inches to 3.75 inches. The inner ring fits the average pint glass for reference, so will not fit glasses that have a much smaller rim than a pint glass. It also fits all wide mouth mason jars.
2) Will GreenPaxx products melt, warp or leach chemicals if I leave them in my car?
GreenPaxx products are made from 100% food-grade silicone, an inert material that can safely withstand temperature ranges of -20°F to 450°F without degrading or warping. And because the silicone inGreenPaxx products does not contain any fillers like some silicone products do, it does not contain any harmful substances therefore will never leach any.
3) Can I use my COOL CAP and COOL STRAWS for hot drinks?
Keeping in mind that you should always use caution when drinking hot beverages or soups, you can absolutely use them. Be sure your drink has cooled sufficiently then sip away!
4) Do I need special cleaning tools to clean my Cool Straws?
Unlike other reusable straws, GreenPaxx Cool Straws are made from non toxic food grade silicone, a naturally non stick material that repels debris, making them super easy to clean. In case you forget to rinse them immediately after use, just run them under warm soapy water while kneading the length of the straw and any stuck on food should easily rinse off. No pipe cleaners required! They are dishwasher safe but hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the products.

Original Message
In continuation of a series of years of World at War,THIS IS A SPECIAL EDITION BASED UPON URGENT PENDING MATTERS, the following was the 2011 thread.
Thread: The World at War, Official 2011 war thread for North Korea, Iran, Israel, China, U.S.
The following is the 2012 Thread up to the end of August.
Thread: World at War, Official 2012 Thread for Israel, Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, PA, Turkey, Egypt, Pakistan, India, North Korea, Russia, China, U.S.
Now we enter into the last four months of 2012. Follow the past year to see where we are at. I try not to give much BS and only ask that if you do not care for the topic or format, do not visit this thread.
Trolls, you will be deleted or blocked, you can start your own thread if you wish, just leave us alone!
As stated at the start of 2012, 2012 will be the start of much chaos economically as well as militarily. We have gone through much doom and gloom already. But now, it is of urgency that we wait to see whether Iran goes nuclear, whether Israel takes it upon herself to attack Iran, whether the US leaves Israel to fend for herself, what the results of the US election have in store for Israel, the Mideast and the US, and what will happen in Syria.
Israel must face the challenge of a nuclear Iran with or without the U.S. to protect her. Further, Syria feels threatened as did Libya where Assad may lash out at Israel. The Hezbollah may too jump on in. Lebanon and Jordan may face their own arab spring. Egypt may tear up the Israeli peace treaty any day. Turkey looks as Israel with jealousy for Israel's gas and oil reserves in the Med.
China and Russia wish to impose retrictions on America's once global dominance where there will be more challenges to U.S. interests leading to possible military blows.
North Korea's tender young leader has no fear in challenging U.S. might and may cause further military adventurism.
Pakistan has nukes that could be stolen and/or Pakistan and the U.S. may enter into more vis a vis hotile interactions.
Iran is threatening to challenge the west and is due for a nuclear detonation soon. What the U.S./and or Israel do to stop Iran is worthy of watching every day.
Iraq is now under Iran's thumb and likely will further become a feifdom of Iran.
Afghanistan is soon to force the withdrawal of U.S. forces.
India and Pakistan may soon come to blows.
Will the global economic crisis resolve itself, will the crisis collapse the world economy, or whom may come forward with some new currency?
Further, spiritually, 2012 looks to be a year of turmoil.
There are seers warning of some type of sign from God this coming year. The Mayan's seemed to predict something. The Pope may flee Rome? A comet in the sky? Great earthquakes? Signs in the sky?
Look further at bug-outs or going grey, everyone should be prepping by now in case things really do go bad. I am just saying.
So, if you wish to discuss the above mentioned or wish to hear it from others, feel free to drop in and leave some good 5 stars if you find this inforomation either entertaining or productive.

FBN's John Stossel on the growth of charter schools such as Sci Academy in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina.

People who try to start charter schools often say a whole bureaucrats make it so hard -- put up all these obstacles and it.
That's why there aren't enough charters yet to have a real market.
In one town most kids now -- ten chart.
Hope that -- Hurricane Katrina.
On track to make a direct hit a low lying city of New Orleans is hampered because of hurricanes and all eyes thought -- Let's settle anything specific but below sea levels this entire area will be under water.
When Katrina flooded New Orleans didn't just destroy much of the city it also destroy the school system.
Some school reformers thought maybe that's what needed to him.
It was probably one of the worst school districts in the country it was a horror before Katrina.
How old school.
I mean it would have failed restless do you rebuild what was there are -- you build something you know.
Louisiana built something new.
They be easy for people to open -- and Telus day here's my plan and market it started charter school called -- cannon.
We have complete control over the quality of our instruction -- started school -- 2008 he was the only employee.
He drove his car Orleans until 3 in the morning.
Putting up signs advertising school anything that's number no he had to advertise because students had to choose to go.
They just get sent here because they live nearby.
We are putting it up everywhere.
Even went to people's houses to recruit.
Living in -- all and we've never hand her son -- goes to -- can.
He came out he interviewed and talked to me and talk to -- -- he was explaining its own.
About the hours and academic since.
In the school opened only a third of the students were proficient on state tests I know -- problem.
-- know how who read this.
-- site Cantonese test results are among the best in the city.
Even though the school itself that's just watch trailers as a plan in my mind that apartment building but if you walk into a school on the first thing they telling your complaints about their facilities the product focused on right outside academy do.
-- -- well teachers have to perform.
Does the principal can fire at will yeah yeah we have out while contracts with school Sharon Clark runs another New Orleans -- And cheap to buyers that we his teachers I call it -- -- -- person thinks the charter law also allows parents to fire a school.
They don't like this school they can send their kid to another.
-- needs to work hard because she worries about losing her picture yet every -- that.
And competition drives schools to try different things like.
This morning ritual site -- This seems a little cultural.
Some kids didn't take serious.
But something -- I mean did you think can -- -- here he's become more responsible.
Even though and enlightened school.
Effort and I want to school I started want to go -- countless more because that's the important ones.
Now rich his mother's getting ready to start -- so -- -- -- her for a test using skills he learned at some.
Gift retaliation Ambien -- -- Katrina.
So this charge has grown from one employee.
Into another school that so popular -- holds the line to decide who gets it.
Our have a waiting at about 200.
-- that this.
As you saw on our service kids and relative exit anxiously hoping their name will be -- some go away happy.
-- -- It just goes.
I think this kind of school it badly that we needed in the city.
And this kind of education is exactly what we need to be up and everything okay.
Today most -- in New Orleans attend charter schools.
And test scores -- city are better many of the greatest cities in the world have been reborn.
Amid crisis the -- fire resulted in a greater should call will be built the San Francisco earthquake.
Resulted in a much more dynamic safer city -- the fire of London resulted in -- pay any much greater capital emerging well.
You know people in New Orleans are rebuilding the city for the better at school choice movement -- -- -- it will never go back.

Chapter 2 HIV and the Consolidation of Certainty
1. Jonathan Elford, Robert Bor, and Pauline Summers, "Research into HIV and AIDS between 1981 and 1990: The Epidemic Curve," AIDS 5 (December 1991): 1515-1519, esp. 1516. [BACK]
2. C. Self, W. Filardo, and W. Lancaster, "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) and the Epidemic Growth of Its Literature," Scientometrics 17 (July 1989): 49-60, esp. 55. The increasing importance of AIDS research within biomedicine and scientific research as a whole is suggested by the "maps" of scientific research patterns generated by co-citation analysis, a quantitative technique that constructs linkages between articles that have been jointly cited by other researchers. See Henry Small and Edwin Greenlee, "A Co-Citation Study of AIDS Research," in Scholarly Communication and Bibliometrics, ed. Christine L. Borgman (Newbury Park, Calif.: Sage, 1990), 166-193. [BACK]

8. On the transformation of scientific facts into taken-for-granted knowledge, see, for example, Bruno Latour, Science in Action (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard Univ. Press, 1987), 42-43. Montagnier's 1983 paper, initially almost ignored but increasingly recognized as the first report of the discovery of HIV, ended up being cited even more often than Gallo's 1984 paper: Montagnier's paper was cited 147 times in 1984, 366 times in 1985, 416 times in 1986, and 399 times in 1987. My content analysis focuses on Gallo's 1984 paper only: For my purposes, it was more important to study citations of Gallo's work, since he has tended to receive credit for confirming that the virus causes AIDS, than to study citations of Montagnier's work, since he has tended to be credited instead for the discovery of the virus (see Small and Greenlee's conclusions on this point, "Co-Citation Study of AIDS Research," 185). In practice, my content analysis revealed that the two papers were very frequently co-cited, often along with Levy's 1984 article in Science. See also Alison Rawling, "The AIDS Virus Dispute: Awarding Priority for the Discovery of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)," Science, Technology, & Human Values 19 (summer 1994): 342-360. [BACK]
9. A chi-square test using the data in table 1 (comparing the five categories over the three years) confirms that the shift is highly statistically significant (c 2 = 68.5, df = 8, p < .001). [BACK]

16. This was confirmed by performing separate chi-squares (on the five citation categories vs. the two authorship categories) for each of the three years reported in table 2. In each case, the differences between articles without an author from the Gallo group and articles with such an author were not statistically significant (1984: c 2 = 5.5, df = 4, p < .30; 1985: c 2 = 1.7, df = 4, p<.80; 1986: c 2 = 1.2, df = 4, p < .90).

18. Luc Montagnier, "Lymphadenopathy-Associated Virus: From Molecular Biology to Pathogenicity," Annals of Internal Medicine 103 (November 1985): 693. [BACK]
19. Chi-square tests were performed separately for the 1985 and 1986 data. Data from table 3 were combined into 2 × 2 tables: explicit unqualified references vs. all other references (combined); and those citing early papers vs. those citing later research. In 1985 there was no statistically significant difference between those citing early papers and those citing later research, in terms of the tendency to make explicit unqualified references (c 2 = .0028, df = 1, p < .95). Similarly, in 1986, the difference was not statistically significant (c 2 = 1.84, df = 1, p < .20). [BACK]
20. This shift is highly significant statistically, as confirmed by a chi-square test of the "Citations of early papers" column (the four citation categories in 1985 vs. the four categories in 1986): c 2 = 332.4, df = 3, p < .001. [BACK]

28. For example, CDC researcher Paul Feorino and his coauthors, reporting on an early transfusion study in Science in July 1984, noted that "the ultimate proof that LAV or any other virus is the cause of AIDS requires studies that cumulatively fulfill the modern equivalent of Koch's postulates."

37. The crucial differences are (1) that Feorino and his co-researchers actually isolated the virus, instead of simply assaying for antibodies; and (2) that Feorino and his associates found the virus more consistently both in donors and recipients than Jaffe and his associates had found antibodies in either group. In fact, buried in the paper by Jaffe et al. was the admission that they could find HTLV-I antibodies in only three of the eight transfusion recipients for whom serum samples were available (p. 1310).

62. Of course, the danger was that, by encouraging people at risk for AIDS to take the test, AIDS organizations might make a quarantine more feasible simply by identifying more people who carried the virus. For this reason, the pros and cons of "taking the test" were fiercely debated in gay communities in the mid-1980s, and many groups (particularly on the East Coast, where suspicions ran higher) promoted the message "Don't take the test." Other groups rallied behind the idea of anonymous testing, which provided people with test results while protecting their identities. Eventually, a consensus in favor of anonymous testing materialized among the AIDS organizations, but not until the tests were shown to be relatively accurate, and never fully until the advent of "early intervention" therapies in the late 1980s.

Molly's daughter has food allergies which are sometimes so serious she has to stay home with her and which require frequent doctor's office visits.
After requesting the time off using the Request for Leave form and providing the medical certification required, Molly learns from OHR that her daughter's allergies qualify as a serious health condition and she is entitled to use FMLA and OFLA. (See questions 6, 15, and 21 - 25.) Molly will need to inform her supervisor when she is taking leave intermittently for this reason and complete the FMLA and/or OFLA time sheets accurately to track the authorized leave. This time off may qualify for sick and vacation leave.

Purchase Reason
We built a carrera marble fireplace on a gray wall that's the first thing guests see, and an attention-getter for the room in all circumstances. The 50x40 Orion Nebula makes the wall pop big-time and is an inspiration ... people are mesmerized. I'm glad we got non-glare glass! Unfortunately FedEx dented the frame edge delivering it, but no one sees that but us. Disappointing, far from a deal breaker.
Purchase Reason
Much better than I anticipated. I love looking at especially at night when the lights are dim.
Purchase Reason
I really wasn't sure what to expect as the online photo was not that impressive compared to a very similar one on another site. I decided to take a chance as it was a Christmas present and the other site couldn't deliver in time. I also spent some time deliberating what type of print to get - I was tempted by glossy for the supposedly extra detail, but opted for matt as I'm planning to frame it under glass and it was about half the price of glossy. In the end, the picture quality is great and I'm really pleased (as is my other half who's into space and astronomy.) It was also delivered in good time - perfect for a Christmas present. The only reason I'm not scoring this a 5 is that I think it's quite a lot to pay for what is, essentially, one photo.
Purchase Reason
This picture hangs over the couch in my den and can be seen from the living and dining rooms. People are really taken by it and are really surprised to find that it is actually a picture of a nebula. It has all of the colors I need and the quality is excellent. Perfect for my use.
Purchase Reason
This product is okay. It is a bit smaller than expected, but the most disappointing part is how small it is for the price. Really expensive for just a print, in my opinion. The wood mounting is nice. The picture is less detailed than I expected.

It is a British Open Sunday dripping with potential storylines.
Another sun-drenched day on Muirfield's links ended with Tiger Woods in the hunt to break his five-year major drought -- standing in his way is a man gunning for his first at the 62nd attempt.
Lee Westwood played in his first Open Championship 18 years ago and is still to claim his breakthrough title after years spent hovering around the game's top echelons.
On increasingly parched terrain, the 40-year-old Englishman's much-maligned putting stroke held firm over the closing holes as he entered the sanctuary of the clubhouse on three-under, a lead of two shots.
Woods lies locked on one-under with fellow American Hunter Mahan, whose 68 was the best round of the day, while Masters champion Adam Scott, from Australia, is a further shot back on level par.
The tournament's overnight leader, Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez, slipped six shots off the pace after carding a disappointing 77 while Sweden's Henrik Stenson is in a clutch of players on one-over.
Westwood has come close on several occasions -- his run of 61 majors without success is an unwanted record -- but he said he'll sleep soundly despite knowing he could be hours from filling the glaring hole in his golfing resume.
"I'll think about winning the Open Championship at some stage of the evening -- I don't think there's anything wrong with picturing yourself holding the Claret Jug on the 18th green," he told reporters.
"But come 3pm Sunday I'll be in the same frame of mind as I was today.
"I didn't feel under any pressure. Even though I haven't won a major championship before, I know what it takes to win one."


text: I use GTD for Collecting, Processing, Organizing and Review pretty stringently. When it comes to doing, I use GTD guidance to select my pre-defined work for the day. Once that selection is made, I transfer those tasks to a a pomodoro technique work sheet for planning my day around pre-defined work. The pomodoro technique also allows for urgent and unplanned work and allows for extra time to do processing and organizing during the day. Anyone see anything inherently wrong with this? I find the two systems to be quite compatible.

I purchased this ring for my boyfriend (I'm going to ask him to marry me). It looks and feels way more than it cost! The colors are beautiful and the metal is very strong. It will make the perfect engagement ring. I checked other places for the same ring and it costs double of what I paid for it on O!!
I purchased this ring for my fiance as his wedding band. I was worried that the ring was going to look cheap or like a fashion ring instead of an engagement ring, but when it came in I was very pleasantly surprised. This ring is absolutely gorgeous and looks even better than it does in the picture. My fiance and I are both extremely happy with the ring and even happier with the price. Similar rings at the jewelry stores around here were going for close to $300!
I found this ring in a jewlery store for over $300.... When I saw it on Overstock I was skeptical that since it was SOOOO much cheaper that it really was going to be the same quality. To my surprise, it was and is the same quality....I love the ring and so does my soon to be husband. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone...... LOVE LOVE LOVE my purchase....... :)
I purchased this ring as an after-Christmas gift for myself. It is AWESOME! I do a lot of construction work and I didn't want to damage my wedding band. This ring is beautiful AND tough. It is so hard that it "rings" when you drop it. The tungston carbide the ring is made of is the same metal used for cutting machine parts, so it will never wear out. Make sure you size it correctly, because it cannot be resized.
This ring is totally awesome. I was a little worried at first because the price was so low and it was online but the minute I pulled the ring out of the box i was completely blown away! its just as good as any other ring you would find in a jewelers shop at a quarter of the price. Plus it was super fast on shipping!! Totally recommend this ring the blue and black is really really cool looking!!
great ring received many compliments. Must order correct size . Tungsten cannot be sized or engraved.
I purchased this ring for my boyfriend for his birthday, on the day he opened it and put it on he has not taken it off. He is very much in love with his ring. He shows it to everyone, and everyone who sees it is very impressed by its uniqueness and looks and quality craftsmanship. The ring has been a great symbol to show my love for him and he is really touched by the purchase.
This ring has such a subtle but beautiful hint of blue carbon fiber inlay in the center. The ring is of great quality, heavy and durable, but the edges are rounded off for a very comfortable fit on the finger. I love this ring, but my husband felt that it looked too thick on his finger. So, regretfully, I returned it. It was hard for me to part with the ring because it looked so good.
Bought this ring to replace my husband's broken original wedding band. It is so nice and he gets tons of compliments. Seems to be sturdy so far. Happy with the purchase.
From the moment I opened the box and laid eyes on this ring I was in love. The blue sparkles show up great and the carbon fiber inlay looks awesome. I have only worn this ring a few times since I bought it and I have received many compliments about it. The price is unbeatable. Similar rings that look the same in stores have been double or triple the price I paid on Overstock. I highly recommend buying this ring.

Boost interest
Where Sorenstam led, others like Michelle Wie followed in men's events, but she knows that the LPGA still has a long way to go to match the coverage given to the PGA Tour.
To boost interest, she would like to see the two tours run combined events as the same venue as happens with ATP and WTA tennis tournaments. "It would be great for fans" and would pave the way for more equality in prize money she believes.
The 42-year-old was recently named vice-captain to fellow Swede Liselotte Neumann for the 2013 Solheim Cup in Colorado.
She performed the same role as Europe beat the United States in the biennial team event in Ireland in 2011.
But is she ever tempted to make a playing comeback?
"I think about when I turn on the golf on TV," she admitted. "I remember what it was like to come down the stretch in the lead, but then I look at my kids and know that I am happy where I am in my life.
"To play with my husband and two children would be my favorite foursome now."
Juggling the demands of a busy professional and business life, her diary is hectic, and finding time for her young family, would test anybody.
But one has the feeling that Sorenstam is totally committed to her new life away from professional sport and wild horses could not drag her back on the fairways of the world.
