It's hard not to like it. And in both senses of the phrase, America keeps asking for it.
It would be a stretch to call The Simpsons Movie more than a crisper, livelier-looking episode of the series. The change in mediums changes nothing.
The result is two-tiered humor, broad enough to appeal to anybody but overlaid with jokes that will be funnier if you know the show.

That's right — Timmy, Cosmo, Wanda and the rest of the gang will be giving you your dose of holiday spirit in the live action TV movie set to premiere Thursday, November 29th at 7PM (ET/PT).
In A Fairly Odd Christmas, Timmy Turner (Bell) travels around the world with his childhood friend, Tootie (Monet), his beloved fairy godparents, Cosmo (voiced by Daran Norris, The Fairly OddParents) and Wanda (voiced by Susanne Blakeslee, The Fairly OddParents), and his fairy god brother Poof (voiced by Tara Strong, The Fairly OddParents), granting kids' wishes. Unfortunately, Timmy doesn't consider that there may be consequences for his actions. When children start to doubt that Santa Claus exists, a panic begins in the North Pole. As a result, kids' wishes begin disappearing from Santa's "good" list. Timmy's well-intended actions eventually land him on The Naughty List. Timmy must find a way to restore the children's faith in Santa Claus before ruining Christmas forever. Meanwhile, Mr. Crocker (David Lewis, A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner!) is more determined than ever to harness the fairies magical powers for his own purposes.

CW's Big Surprise
May 18, 2007 1:31 AM
"Just keep moving! Put away your IDs!" shouts the guard.
Yes, of course, put away your IDs! No, you don't need to check-in. C'mon, this The CW's upfront, any hobo can go. If you printed out your confirmation email, or made a copy of somebody else's or, hell, just waved a white piece of paper, that's about all you needed to get into Madison Square Garden and see the network's presentation to ad executives.
Inside, the Pussycat Dolls kicked things off with a performance of "Don't Cha." Everybody slags on the PCDs, mocks them for looking like, as one TVWeek staffer put it, "post-op trannies." Everyone rolls their eyes at their CW reality show and simple pop songs. But you would think Rupert Murdoch was on stage announcing plans to cut his advertising rates 75 percent across his media empire as intensely as the Madison Avenue crowd watched those six girls dance.
The CW upfront was all about energy. High energy and pimping 18 to 34 demographics. The big surprise, however, was that the CW's new shows looked pretty darn good (at least from the clips). Sitcom "Aliens in America" had a quick, witty "Malcolm In the Middle" vibe, but with more sweetness than you'd expect. "Reaper" was very Kevin Smith, mixing pop-culture slackers and the supernatural. The lazily titled "Online Nation" drew laughs for its user-generated clips. The mother-daughter beauty contest competitors in reality series "Crowned" seemed like actors in a Christopher Guest mockumentary.
Curiously, the least impressive show was The CW's tentpole, "Gossip Girl," which felt like a cookie cutter "The O.C." in an Upper East Side setting, where impossibly snooty girls use excessively proper grammar.
At the conclusion of the show, a Pussycat Doll sung a new CW theme song, "Get Into It." This is such a throwback to the upfront bygone days when the Big Three each had their own theme songs, that it's almost retro-cool. The song, however, sent ad executives streaming for the exits, but that was also likely due to eagerness to avoid the cab line outside.
Oh, and everybody who went got a complimentary vomity-green CW tote bag that smelled like an inflatable life raft.

March 7th/Answers
Rachel Bilson
We really can't get enough of Rachel Bilson. She exemplifies consistent style, and just when we think she can't possibly get cuter-she does! She's done it again here at the Independent Spirit Awards, where she wore an Olga Kapustina dress and Marni heels. She also wore Chanel jewelry, which is the perfect finishing touch on any ensemble. (Dress: price upon request, Olga Kapustina 917-327-9243 and www.olgakapustinaonline.com (launching soon). Shoes: similar style $595, www.marni.com).
Thandie Newton
Thandie Newton looked so glamorous at the Los Angeles Norbit premiere she made many of our readers-and ourselves-wonder what she was wearing. After some undercover investigating (cue the James Bond music) we've discovered that this flirty navy blue number is by Fendi. Thandie's also wearing Fendi shoes and earrings designed by Neil Lane. The dress has the perfect amount of shimmer to exude sexy, without being over-the-top. To track one down for yourself, call or visit a Fendi boutique close to you (Dress: price upon request, 310-276-8888. Earrings: price upon request, 310-275-5015).
Michelle Williams
We all did a double take when we first saw pictures of Michelle Williams at the Independent Spirit Awards. She epitomizes grace by complimenting her Mia Farrow-reminiscent haircut with the darling Chloe dress she's wearing. The dress is embellished enough, so she wisely kept her jewelry minimal and carried a small Chanel clutch. The dress is from the Chloe Spring/Summer 2007 collection (price upon request. 212-957-1100).
Reese Witherspoon
We at WhoWhatWear applaud Reese Witherspoon's ability to multitask a career and motherhood, while still maintaining an enviable taste in fashion. Seen here getting ice cream with her son, Deacon, she looks like she could take on anything. Maybe it's because of the ice cream, or maybe it's because of the great messenger bag she's flaunting.
Of the two indulgences in the photo, the bag immediately caught our attention. This Lanvin Suede Travel Bag is a navy masterpiece with brown leather straps, and it comes with a detachable tan canvas shoulder strap, as well. Originally sold at Barneys ($1850, www.barneys.com), it's sadly no longer listed online, though other cute options are. If you must have this exact bag, try placing a bid on our swear-by site, eBay where one is currently listed (bid at press time: $989, www.ebay.com).

2014 DeMarini CF6 -10 Senior Youth Baseball
2014 DeMarini CF6 -10 Senior Youth Baseball
Name: 2014 DeMarini CF6 -10 Senior Youth Baseball
Promising present. Punishing future. Redesigned from knob to endcap, the CF6 (-10) has an all-new look and feel you will notice immediately. The breakthrough 2 piece D-Fusion handle allows us to crank up the performance of the barrel while improving feel. Our Carbon Reinforced Paradox Composite Handle is stiffer for ultimate energy transfer between barrel and ball. While our patented ThermoFused Taper enhances a balanced yet explosive Paradox Composite barrel by containing energy in the barrel where it belongs - Propelling the ball on impact while limiting negative feedback to hands. With a light swing weight and feel, the CF6 does the one thing you really care about. Hitting the ball further.
- D FUSION HANDLE: Gives you the best of both worlds. An end loaded barrel as hot as possible while eliminating vibrations from miss hits
- PARADOX COMPOSITE BARREL: How does something stronger perform softer? How does something stiffer become more responsive? That's the paradox that defines our new composite. The Paradox Composite is a stiffer, stronger material that we are able to shape into hotter, more responsive bats that require less break-in time
- RCK KNOB: This little addition makes a big impact, letting the bat rest comfortably in your hand. With the revolutionary shape, you won't feel anything so you can crush in confidence. It truly is a really cool knob
- USSSA Certified
- -10 Swing Weight
- 2 5/8" Barrel Diameter

I would be curious to know how many times in the past half a century the school district has asked Washington Roofing for contributions. How many sports programs, fund raisers, auctions, or emergency repairs, all of which WR has undoubtedly said yes to. How many other local businesses has the school district hit up to cover costs or raise funds? How much in taxes have the local businesses paid to keep our schools running?
Yet the district hires a consultant from out of the area who just happens to set criteria that locks a local company out of bidding on jobs. The suspicious part of my nature wants to look at the companies the consulting firm has just guaranteed will get those bids.
Washington Roofing didn't ask for the jobs, they asked for a chance to bid on the jobs. I would trust their expertise, given their history, far more than an outsider, as they have a vested interest in getting it right the first time.
My hat is off to Stan Primozich for standing up for what is right. Now I hope the school district will re-examine their policies to include local businesses who have always supported them.
My hope is that we can re-examine the consultant's original recommendations and possibly modify them to give this excellent local business a place in the bidding process. Obviously none of the board members wished to exclude them. But speaking for ME, the specifics of the question for which the hearing was held and the objective and rigid requirements of the original RFQ upon which the appeal was based left no other proper choice on that particular vote. In MY mind, the real workable (and equatable) solution is to widen the parameters of allowable roofing to be sure Washington Roofing has a place at the table, not to set forth specific restrictions, but then ignore those restrictions for one particular company.
I must STRESS that I am speaking NOT as an official board member, but as a citizen. I've been frustrated with the portrayal of those of us who voted no, and feel that it was not clear that our vote was based on answering an appeal to a VERY SPECIFIC question on a RFQ that had already been submitted. If there is a bright side to all this, it is that it triggered a re-examination of the RFQ process, but the VOTE ITSELF, in my interpretation of it, could not be cast any other way.

Hey Tim -
I checked her history and see it's been a month since she posted (on heading of Angrey.....) and see she had problems with a script not being allowed to be filled and it was the weekend - I don't see anything current on her
Take care ~~ God Bless ~~
~~ Joy ~~
Been stuck in bed! Finally feeling a bit better after a couple of very bad months. Did get my medication after days of phone calls. Why does everything have to be a fight?
Just went to PM doc and he couldn't understand why I was in tears during my appointment. Was VERY irritated with me and asked me four times why I was in tears. I wasn't rude, simply frustrated and in pain after an exhausting couple of bad months. Where the heck is the understanding and sympathy for a patients situation?
I was the one, not the doc, who suggested I had been on my meds for too long and needed to change meds at the appointment. In nasty pain since last Summer. My legs and arms had been jerking hard and fast for a month. My hands had a constant tremor and my eyelids would not stop fluttering. Cute look, huh? While I believe patients should be proactive...do we also have to diagnosis and take care of ourselves? So disappointed in my doc, since he acts like he is doing me a favor, by taking care of me as a patient. Basically said he had been willing to take on my difficult case. Huh? Did he go to med school and residency to only write NSAID scripts all day? The way he acted, you would have thought I was asking him to remove a brain tumor in his office. Suggested my behavior was "personality" based. Thanks!
Anyway just found this old article on spinal fusions. I think anyone thinking of having this surgery done should read this first. Here is the link http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-12-30/highest-paid-u-s-doctors-get-rich-with-fusion-surgery-debunked-by-studies.html
Hope it helps someone.
Thanks for thinking of me. It is super appreciated. Hope all my pals are doing o.k.
Damn so sorry you had to go thru all this crap - and I mean CRAP - just not right for those of us who suffer from chronic pains.
I can understand that fully what you went through - in 2009 I had to switch pain docs as the one I was seeing said during a discogram "I give up on where your pains are coming from" he w rote out a script for meds (was taking hydrocodone at time) and when I called pharmacy for the refills I got a call from his nurse saying that at my last appt he told me couldn't see me anymore - I told nurse what he said and she said "Yes that was his saying he couldn't treat me anymore"!!! WTF No letter no call from pain doc - just plan releasing me by saying he doesn't know where my pains are!!!
So I didn't know what to do - he did ok the refill on my muscle relaxers and my neurontin. So for 1 month I went thru withdraws. Went to my PM and he worte a script for one months supply and referred me to a pain doc. This was a Godsend as the pain doc saw what all I had gone thru and referred me to the Physiatrist that I see now.
I never, ever want to go thru withdraws again - that was the most horrible experience I have ever felt. And now I'm on much stronger pain meds -
In regards to the article you listed - Yes that is a good article and everyone should read it.
As an FYI - I have done a lot of research - and I posted this on either a discussion I posted or a response (LOL don't remember crap anymore - dang pain meds~~)
What I found was that the majority of fusions done on the Thoracic and Cervical vs. Lumbar is quite alarming as most people who have it done on the mid-back and upper-back tend to have better recoveries than those having lumbar fusions Reasoning for this is the lumbar is what carries us with weight, pressure and the most common to have back aches. Out of 30 people I spoke with that had lumbar fusions only 2 came out of surgery with a full recovery and no pains. Rest of the people continued to have severe chronic pains.
I've only spoke to about 15 people having Thoracic and/or Cervical Fusions came out with little or no pains.
The research I did was in my area (Kansas City) so I can imagine most places will have similar outcomes.
I know it sounds horrible but I am excited to have my fusion - this will get rid of the disc that is moving and crunching over arthritis buildup from the last surgery. so that will be more stable.
Glad that you are doing better - we were worried about ya - take care = {{{HUGS}}}
Take care ~~ God Bless ~~
~~ Joy ~~
Best of luck to you
My prayers are with you.
Very nice to hear from you! So hard to believe how unprofessional your doctor was with you in 2009. A physician friend of mine, told me physicians are not allowed to ABANDON a patient. Not sure if he meant it is against the law or unethical, but he was very clear that it is never to be done.
I have been wondering lately about the level of monitoring physicians have with their individual practices. While residents are monitored closely, it makes me wonder how much is done once a physician has become an attending. I once had a nerve block done by an anesthesiologist and found out he died in the next month or two...of a DRUG OVERDOSE!
I have to get drug tested every three months. Why is it the docs get away with all the drug and alcohol use? One of the cardiothoracic surgeons came up to the unit to see a patient VERY drunk one evening. How many people want a drunk person making medical decisions on a vent dependent patient fresh from open heart surgery?
My complaints are based on patient rights and standard of care. I watched a documentary (POV) last night, about an Oakland, California ER and low income patients. It was a heartbreaker. One thing stuck out to me...and that was one of the physicians. He was great with the patients! So thoughtful and caring. We need many more like him.
So where is the problem. Are they screening for medical school correctly? Is it a problem in the medical culture? An oversite issue? I feel when you make a large salary, responsibility for the outcome on peoples lives, there should not be such a large disconnect for the quality of care and stringent oversite of the profession.
Glad your surgery is right around the corner. I sure hope this takes care of your problem and you get some relief. My wish for you is lots of pool time next Summer! Doesn't that sound good? Keep us all posted on your upcoming surgery.
Take care,

Chevrolet Silverado Prices Paid and Buying Experience
sb55 On an Island in VermontPosts: 163I own a 2010 and just got a mailing from GMC. It looks like the extended cabs will be with 4 regular doors, as opposed to the suicide doors on the current model. I like the suicide doors with the access it gives and throw a lot of stuff back there. It may make the 2013 extended cabs pretty popular if you like that feature.
2007 Miata, 2010 BMW 535xiT, 2010 GMC Sierra SLE, 2006 Subaru Legacy Wagon
I'm seeing a sticker that is effectively $38,600 with 5.8 L, 6 speed, 20" chrome wheels, tow package, chrome handles, easy lift tailgate, locking spare tire, dual zone AC, and a few other pretty things. The $9,000 off is composed of a $2,000 package discount, GM owner's discount, $1,000 trade allowance, and other parts that haven't been explained to me. Seems that the dealer's starting (and maybe firm) price point for me is $29,600. Does this seem like a good deal. Thanks everybody!
$36,595 window sticker price, included $2,000 Regional Value Pkg Discount.
I negotiated that down $705 to $35,890 then took off 2500, 1000, 1500 making it $30,890. I got 3,600 trade for my 2000 S-10 extended cab that only had 103,000 miles - that matched NADA's trade estimate. I also had a lot of GM card rebate to reduce the final price. I called around a bit but only visited my local dealer. Hope this helps the next buyer!

As parents, we have all worried and wondered about it: lice. Just hearing the word makes you itchy and stressed. What parent doesn't dread getting that note sent home in their child's backpack that there has been a case of lice in the classroom?
With winter being a particularly active time for outbreaks—thanks primarily to extra clothing like hats and coats that provide a convenient way for bugs to spread—we bring you some tips to help you survive an outbreak without losing your mind.
Lice (Pediculus capitis), tiny insects about the size of a sesame seed, are hardy creatures. They have been around since humans have been on this earth. Lice do not discriminate between male or female, if a person has more money or less money, young or old, clean or dirty. In fact, according to the Nit-Wits website, "lice thrive on clean hair." Lice need warm hosts to feed and reproduce. Lice are parasitic bugs that live only off of the blood of humans, and not on dogs or cats.
They are most often found in the hair (head lice), but there are also body lice. Lice move fast and tend to avoid light. In school-age children, lice are easily spread due to the close contact. Adult lice can live on the human head for up to 30 days. It is important to check your school-age children regularly for lice as part of good grooming habits. As creepy and crawly as they are to us, they can be fought off.
A few years ago, I had a very unwanted crash course in what to look for and how to get rid of them. I was very lucky to find one lone louse on the top of my daughter's hair. I had been checking diligently due to a recent classroom outbreak when we became unwilling members of this unhappy club. We treated her that night and never found any nits. I also found a live louse the next morning on her booster seat. After that encounter I learned a few things:
According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of lice infestation include:
- Intense itching.
- Tickling feeling from movement of hair.
- Lice on your scalp, body, clothing, or pubic or other body hair. Adult lice may be about the size of a sesame seed or slightly larger.
- Lice eggs (nits) on hair shafts. Nits resemble tiny pussy willow buds. Nits can be mistaken for dandruff, but unlike dandruff, they can't be easily brushed out of hair.
- Small, red bumps on the scalp, neck and shoulders.
The California Department of Public Health says that if you find lice on your child, you will need to treat him/her with a medicated lice shampoo that can be found at any drugstore. After treating the hair (and any other infected family members at the same time) they say you must comb through the child's hair to remove all nits. Nits are usually found close to the scalp, often behind ears and at the nape of the neck and are stuck to the hair.
A child cannot be allowed back into class with any nits. Most local school districts have a "no nits/lice" policy.
Notify the child's school, preschool, camp or day-care provider so they can check your child's hair to be readmitted to class and send out an exposure notice to other students who may have been exposed. Re-treat the child based on the shampoo instructions and keep checking daily in very bright light for at least 10 days to ensure full eradication.
Besides treating the child and any other family members, it is very important to simultaneously wash all bedding, towels, jackets and laundry the infected child has had contact with.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends:
- Washing all of the items in a hot wash and dry.
- Vacuum the mattresses, rugs and cars.
- Items that cannot be washed in hot water, such as stuffed animals or hair accessories, should be bagged in an airtight bag for two weeks.
- Lice that have fallen off of the head do not last for very long without a host but, in theory, can be picked up after falling.
- All hair brushes and combs need to be boiled for 10 minutes.
Many resources are available to help you through a lice outbreak. Pediatricians can help you diagnose whether your child has lice.
The Internet has a lot of information and photos but be wary of the advice you follow. Not all the treatments online are considered safe or effective by a doctor's standards.
Lori Webb of Nit-Wits, a mobile lice-treatment service in the Bay Area, says they often see more lice infestations during baseball season due to the sharing of helmets.
Tips to avoid getting lice:
- Never share jackets, combs, brushes, hats, hair accessories, sports equipment like helmets or jerseys.
- Never play in another child's bedding during play dates.
- Check hair often and watch for signs of infections such as itching.

Simplify IT, Drive Innovation
Page 2 of 2
8.) Can Failure Help Foster Innovation? The absence of formal programs to analyze projects that didn't work "means respondents' companies invested time, money and other resources in a failed innovation effort without finding out what went wrong."
9.) Can Innovation Be a Defined Process? At Lojas Renner, Brazil's second-largest department-store chain, CIO and chief process officer Leandro Balbinot four years ago began collecting retail data as a means of predicting future demand. But he also believed the project could help spur innovation: Lojas Renner views innovation as "a defined process commonly used to achieve measureable objectives," Balbinot says in the report. "The value of innovation comes from achieving new levels of results that would not be obtained through continuous improvement." He offers a number of other valuable insights as well on the mildly counterintuitive notion of process-driven innovation.
10.) Small Can Be Big. "Empowering smaller teams to build their own tools to solve business problems helps to give rise to wider innovations," the report says, citing a compelling involvement from Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos. In addition, instead of trying to boil the ocean, companies should encourage small, iterative projects that "set up an environment in which repeated experimentation and learning refine winning ideas."

If you have been falsely arrested or abused by Santa Monica Diego Police Officer Koby Arnold, please call Attorney Mary Prevost at (888) 384-1384.
Koby Arnold, pictured HERE, is the rogue officer who falsely arrested Sennett Devermont, also known as MrCheckPoint, for "Drunk Driving" even though he had not had a single drink. Koby Arnold then falsified his police reports to suggest Sennett was driving impaired by drugs. Again, not at all. Blood test? Clean for alcohol and clean for controlled substances. Oops. I mean, Koby Arnold KNEW Sennett Devermont wasn't drunk, but hauled him into court solely because he stood on his right not to talk to the cop, or do his field coordination tests. Arnold got animal control to come and take Sennett's terrified dogs to the pound, and threatened to have them adopted. What a gem.
And so Koby Arnold engaged in an attitude arrest, and he thought he could get away with it.
Now, had we been back in the 90's, Koby Arnold could walk free from the allegations Sennett has levied against him - specifically false arrest and excessive force. But, we are in the era of technology. Sennett recorded the transaction, and we have caught Officer Arnold admitting that he would falsely arrested Sennett because he had "nothing" when Sennett exercised his right not to talk to the bad copper. Want to hear the audio? Click on HERE.
And it's not the first time that Koby Arnold has gone rogue on the Santa Monica Police Department. Oh no. Click HERE for the LA article on the $99,000 settlement City of Santa Monica had to pay out to another man Arnold jumped from behind and beat up.
And, yet, the City Attorney of Santa Monica is again protecting the rogue cop.

Blue Bird of Happiness
The Joffrey Academy's 2014 spring production, May 15-18, 2014 will be a world premiere of Maurice Maeterlinck's Blue Bird of Happiness, choreographed by Academy Artistic Director Alexei Kremnev.
Wildly inventive and effortlessly enchanting, The Blue Bird of Happiness combines spectacular costumes, visionary choreography and ingenious dramatic effects.
Based upon Nobel Prize-winner Maurice Maeterlinck's play, this contemporary adaptation takes two young children on an allegorical voyage that bridges the chasm between the conscious and the unconscious. Joined by magically humanized pets and living house-hold objects, brother and sister Tyltyl and Mytyl travel through a series of dream worlds on a quest for the elusive Blue Bird of Happiness.
What critics are saying about Alexei Kremnev's choreography:
"With choreography by Alexei Kremnev, it brought dance for kids to a whole new level. He created some of the most interesting children's choreography in memory."
-Carol Norris for Cincinnati Enquirer
"Kremnev's musical sense is outstanding. He's got an encyclopedic sense of what works for his purposes, uncannily links the mix and fits movements as though the collection was written specifically for him."
-Kathy Valin for City Beat

A contaminated softball diamond on Briarcliff Manor's main school campus, off-limits since 2010, should be back in service by spring 2014, school officials were told Tuesday. A second field, also closed over environmental concerns, is expected to reopen a year after the diamond returns.
Speaking in a virtually empty auditorium, consultants laid out the timelines for administration officials and . Meanwhile, a district official warned that estimates of the cleanup's cost were increasing substantially.
Michael P. Musso, a senior project engineer with the consulting fIrm Henningson, Durham & Richardson Architecture & Engineering (Pearl River, NY), and John M. Guzewich, an HDR project manager, briefed the officials, providing an "overview of where we're at and where we're going."
The softball field, behind the middle school, and a site near the known as the "practice field" have been shut down for more than two years over concerns of contamination from the debris and construction materials on which they had been constructed.
The chosen cleanup remedy— and calling for a foot-thick layer of clean, approved dirt to separate the suspect fill below from a layer of topsoil and grass above—must still be approved by the state's Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).
By August, Guzewich said, HDR will have completed a "remediation action work plan" that reviews the history of the fields' contamination as well as possible alternative cleanup solutions, such as artificial turf or asphalt.
In addition to the remediation document, the consultants will present a site-management plan.
"That plan will have information...that shows what we're going to do once the remediation is implemented," Guzewich said.
Among other things, it will record inspections, he said, and document the conditions of the fill.
In addition to the two fields, the district must address a slope along the western edge of the practice field. Because the slope as well as a piece of the practice field lie of property that belongs to the state Department of Transportation, that agency must also sign off on any cleanup plan.
Both the remediation and site-management plans are expected to be ready for school board approval at an August 21 meeting.
Once the action plan goes to DEC officials, Guzewich said, "they will review it and most likely have some comments that we need to address."
After the DEC and state Education Department approve the cleanup, the district can begin bidding the work.
Last November, in considering a range of cleanup options, the board chose the least-expensive, natural-turf alternative, estimated to have a price tag of about $1.44 million.
But Stuart Mattey, the district's assistant superintendent for business and technology, said, "Our estimates are coming in higher than what we anticipated back in November."
He put the increase at $500,000, "a substantial amount."
In a related move, the board voted to retain the Manhattan environmental law firm Sive, Paget & Riesel as counsel for the fields' remediation.
The cleanup's roots trace back to 1998, when the district permitted a Yonkers trucking company to dump fill on the school grounds in exchange for building the two athletic fields on top of it.
Rather than unloading promised clean fill, however, the trucker dumped potentially toxic construction debris, leading to the current environmental cleanup efforts. The district subsequently won a judgment against the trucker but never collected a dime.
Most of the school board members who weighed remediation options last fall are no longer serving. With two not standing for re-election and a third resigning, only Sal Maglietta and Jennifer Rosen remain from last year's board. Dina Brantman and Michael Haberman, elected in April, began their terms last month.
Still seeking a fifth member, the board considered a number of other issues on a busy midsummer's calendar:
Teacher evaluation
The district has hammered out an accord with its teachers on a that relies heavily on student test scores to evaluate teacher performance, Superintendent Neal Miller announced.
"The biggest difference now [from past reviews] is that 40 percent of the teachers' evaluation will be based on their students' test scores," he said.
The change was mandated by the state Education Department, following federal Race to the Top guidelines.
The district is still negotiating with its building principals over the revamped form of their evaluations. The new standards drew a statewide protest from principals late last year when almost 700 of them signed an open letter decrying the reliance on test scores.
Miller said he expected Briarcliff's principals to reach an APPR agreement in time for the board to vote Aug. 21 on both plans, which must be submitted together to the state for approval.
Playground vote
Residents will vote held on Aug. 7 on whether to spend is $160,000 from the district's unassigned fund balance to build a new K-2 playground at . The polls will be open in the Todd gymnasium from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Guidance counselor
In a late announcement, board president Maglietta said the district had hired Meredith Negrin Safer as a guidance counselor. Safer, who will earn $98,142 during her year's probationary period, comes to Briarcliff with "very strong credentials," Maglietta said. Safer was a guidance counselor at New York City's Stuyvesant High School, nationally recognized for its academic rigor and student achievement, including rates of admission to highly competitive colleges.

text: Ergonomics have been readjusted with the bars moved up slightly and the footpegs moved forward, enforcing an even more upright, dirt bike-like riding position. The super-tall, 34.2-inch seat is dirt bike-like as well (a ¾-in.-lower accessory seat is available), and a deep-scooped bucket makes it hard to move back and forth. The handling characteristics invite even more dirt bike comparisons. The motocross-type handlebar and tall center of gravity make the Hypermotard immediately responsive to even light steering inputs, which takes some getting used to. Handling is lively but stops just short of becoming nervous, thanks to slightly more relaxed steering geometry and a slightly longer wheelbase this year. Even at semi-legal speeds you can feel distinct differences among the three preset ride modes. For garden-variety street riding we preferred the Touring setting; the combination of very light throttle action and very responsive fueling made thrust difficult to modulate smoothly in Sport mode, especially over rough pavement. That's not to blame the long-travel suspension, with 5.9 in. from the Sachs shock and 6.7 in. from the Kayaba fork. Both ends are sprung firmly enough to maintain composure even under aggressive riding, but still deliver excellent comfort at any speed. Transferring from mountain roads to the awesome Ascari Race Resort gave the opportunity to appreciate the extra performance of the SP model, which adds a fully adjustable Öhlins shock and Marzocchi fork, the same super-light, forged-alloy Marchesini wheels found on the Panigale S (wrapped with super-sticky Pirelli Supercorsa SP tires), some carbon fiber trim pieces, and magnesium engine covers. The SP weighs 8.8 pounds less than the base model, which, at a claimed 386 lbs. dry, is less than 7 lbs. heavier than the old bike—even after the addition of liquid-cooling, traction control, and ABS. The SP also benefits from more aggressive Race/Sport/Wet ride-mode settings, which deliver even more dynamic throttle response, more permissive traction control, and, in Race mode, front-only ABS intervention that allows unlimited rear-wheel lift for backing the bike into corners—behavior the Hypermotard is all too willing to oblige. The ABS activation threshold is acceptably high in Race mode, and the Bosch 9MP control box trims braking inputs without any feedback at the lever. The track sessions also gave an opportunity to experience the latest DTC iteration, which, Ducati says, now limits wheelspin solely by retarding ignition—not fuel—for even smoother engagement. In the lowest two settings TC, intervention is absolutely transparent except for activating the dash indicator—which confusingly doubles as the shift light. Ducati calls the Hypermotard "the ultimate combination of racing DNA and urban ability." Riding this new version, which is both faster and more friendly than before, has us agreeing with this characterization. The Hypermotard is still edgier and more aggressive than the stalwart Monster model, but it's now more broadband-capable. And it's still light-years ahead of any "true" supermoto, making it perfect for pragmatic hooligans. The old underseat exhaust has been replaced by a low-mount system that saves weight, improves handling, and makes more room for electronic hardware under the seat.

Ottoman arrived quickly and packed very well. In perfect condition. My only complaint is the description had stated "Bonded Leather" but the paperwork with the ottoman states "Faux Leather". There is a big difference in these two and the ottoman looks like vinyl. Bonded leather is a type of leather and does NOT look like vinyl. The description should be corrected. I remember one of the reviews stated it looked like vinyl and I should have not ignored that review. I will probably give this away since it is to much trouble to return. Please describe the products correctly as I would not have ordered faux leather.
This is a sturdy ottoman and well made. I am very picky and I love this ottoman. The top/trays are easy to remove and put back. The tops are heavy enough that small children climbing on them don't disturb them at all. It has been a great addition to our living room. We store blankets in it and flip the tops back and forth multiple times a day. I recommend this product to anyone. I was thinking of adding casters to the bottom so I could move it around easily. It has not been necessary, it moves quite easily even on the carpet. It is a perfect height for resting your feet from the couch. I could not be any happier. Thank you Overstock.com!
Pleased with the ottoman and the top, which has trays under the cushions. However, description clearly states, "bonded leather." Product arrives with paperwork that says, "vinyl." Looks fine, but feel description is misleading and should be corrected.
The ottoman arrived quickly and in perfect condition. However, the leather feels and looks like vinyl, and the unit itself is very lightweight. The trays have a nice, thick finish though and I think they would hold up well with heavy use.
The ottoman worked out perfectly and goes very well with the decor no need to change a thing. It's the perfect addition to any room where you need that one piece to complete.
This ottoman is exactly as described in the product details. Well made, good storage, and the trays/cushions on top work and fit well.
After endless amount of research and rejecting other storage bench/ottomans, we found the Christopher Knight Home Maxwell Brown Bonded Leather Double Tray Ottoman and ordered from "Overstock.com" for the first time. We were very pleased with the quality, and speed of delivery. The dual trays on the top were a bonus for us. People who mentioned in reviews this was vinyl, not leather, misunderstand what "faux leather" is. it is definitely NOT vinyl and a beautiful piece of furniture.
Wow I'm truly a new fan of Christopher Knight's home furniture. This is our 5th product from CK. The ottoman is very well built with high quality materials: solid wood and smooth leather. Excellent workmanship! I'm very careful with my money and can be very critical with things I buy, but this is one of the best buys I've made in years. Very happy with the purchase.
Nice dark brown color. Does have more of a vinyl, faux appearance, but still looks nice next to my leather sofa. Love the tray tops, so convenient.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Great quality, easy enough to move out of the way. My only complaint is that the inside has a over powering musty smell. It came packaged well, and it did not look like it had any water damage, so I am not sure why it smells. I tried to febreeze it and put dryer sheets on the inside, but it still smells. Waiting for a warm sunny day to leave it out in the sun for the whole day!!! But it is very nice looking!

After two hundred years of searching, John Fluevog has finally found the perfect retail space and location to open John Fluevog Washington D.C.! Aiming to have the doors open for the final run of election season (August 2012), JF DC will occupy a space on Wisconsin Avenue within historic Georgetown. Washington D.C. has long been a target city for John Fluevog Shoes as it has always held a special place in John's heart, especially after he was forced to flee the city when the British burned down his Ye Olde Fluevog Shoe Shoppe on High Street in 1812.
John's new Washington D.C. retail space is in a restored heritage building in Georgetown, built of clay bricks from the Potomac River that date back to the start of the last century. Reflecting John's positive and bright messages, the space will be completely Fluevogified with Pop Art inspired Shoe-Art and panels in bright, modern colours creating an interesting juxtaposition with historical Georgetown. The back room of the retail store, The Mens Department, is outfitted to resemble a retro-70's lounge with teak wood walls, leather couches, and velvet curtains, perfect for a relaxing shopping experience among the most unique shoes in the World. There is also a rumour that John has plans for a run at politics if the laws allow it (we know Arnold Schwarzenegger can find a loophole to run for the Oval Office 2016).
Known for its fashionable shopping and tasty restaurants, Georgetown is the perfect area for a stroll, as you wander down the cobblestones to have a bite, shop for unique shoes, or just hang out in the many pubs where history was written (and rewritten). One can even find the creepy staircase and recreate the ending to The Exorcist! Eeeek!
It certainly won't be long now, and we can't wait to finally open. See you in August!!

A hole in the surface of North Point Road over Bread and Cheese Creek in Dundalk has closed the roadway for at least a week.
Baltimore County officials closed the road on Jan. 16 after the hole was discovered, according to David Fidler, a spokesman for the Baltimore County Department of Public Works.
Engineers from the Department of Public Works examined the bridge and roadway and then called in a contractor to make repairs, according to Fidler.
The work to repair the bridge's abutments and the road's travel surface is expected to take a week or more, Fidler said.
German Hill Road is just to the south of the closure.

Members of women's, environmental, labor, community, housing, civil rights, and immigrant organizations spoke out Tuesday on the need for elected state officials to act on a variety of issues including raising the minimum wage, passage of the Dream Act for immigrants and implementing public financing of elections. The representatives included Bob Milone of the Communications Workers of America (CWA) 1107 and the Working Families Party; Sandy Oxford of the United Food & Commercial Workers (UFCW) 888, Loretta Manning and Yusef Belford of Community Voices Heard Power and Rockland County Legislator Ilan Schoenberger.
They called upon state legislators to act on the progressive agenda passed by voters earlier this month. Milone specified they want State Senator David Carlucci (D-New City) to support the new Democratic majority in the Senate. Carlucci is one of four members of the Independent Democratic Conference. Milone said the coalition was concerned about rumors that the independent Democrats might caucus with the Senate Republicans.
"We're just urging him to help elect a Democratic leader in the senate," said Milone, who said he has worked with Carlucci for years and spoke with him as recently as Monday.
"The only way we're going to get our issues on the floor and voted upon in the senate is if we can get all the Democrats together," said Milone. "We're looking to get the Independent Democratic Committee, the four members of the committee which includes our senator, Senator Carlucci."
Manning said public financing of elections will make running for elected office an option for anyone.
"Right now elections are bought," she said, adding that many candidates are wealthy.
Manning said it should not matter what is in her bank account that determines if she can run for office but how the voters feel about what she is willing to do to increase jobs and raise wages. A bill for campaign finance reform has been passed in the assembly but not in the senate.
"Do the right thing," she urged. "Remember we're the ones that put you there."
Belford also brought up the need to increase the minimum wage from $7.25 to $8.50. Milone noted that 14 states have a higher minimum wage than New York.
Milone said they have worked with Carlucci in the past and that members of the Working Families state committee plan to meet with him this week.
"We're very proud of David and what he's done in the senate so far," said Milone, noting that Carlucci supported some of the issues the coalition identified.
Other issues on the coalition's agenda are the Reproductive Health act, tenants' rights, a ban on hydrofracking, criminal justice reform and indexing the minimum wage to inflation.
Schoenberger said, " We need our state senators and assembly members to support the progressive changes which the people voted. We need to tell every member of the state senate and the assembly to work together with the governor to accomplish this progressive agenda which represents the will of the people."
Oxford spoke about the Dream Act and how it would help young immigrants in the state.
A similar program with unions and other groups took place in New York City on Tuesday with one in Buffalo planned for today and another in Syracuse on Thursday. Additional coalition member are Citizen Action of New York, Democracy for America, Moveon.org, New York Communities for Change, SEIU 32BJ, Strong Economy for All, Tenants PAC and United New York.

Oak Park, 1/18/13--An injured Thomas Ross, (pink tie), of Oak Park-River Forest watches from the bench as Alex Gustafson, hits athree-pointer for the Huskies in their game against York. | Vincent D. Johnson~for Sun-Times Media
When Oak Park-River Forest's Thomas Ross wants to find a pickup basketball game, he does not have to look very far.
The senior forward is from a family that has 14 siblings, so all he has to do is organize a game with his brothers and sisters. He is the third oldest of eight boys and six girls.
"We get a whole five-on-five, or we can get five (siblings) and run against another team," said Ross. "It is really nice, because my younger siblings, they are so well matured as far as basketball. So they play every game like it is an actual game, which is good, because when they come into high school, it will be a good experience for them."
The Ross family lives in Oak Park, and does not have to travel far to find a game.
"We stay right around the corner from Longfellow Park, on Ridgeland and Adams, so we just go over there and ball out until the sun goes down," Ross said. "We go up there from the time they put (rims) up until the time they take them down."
Ross also does not have to look far to find a family member when he is walking the halls of OPRF. His brother Gary is a freshman, his sister Rachel is a sophomore and another sister Keishay is a junior.
As one can imagine, you do not want to be late to the table for meals.
"Because everybody can eat in my house," said Ross, whose favorite food is chicken. "Everybody can put it away in my house from the youngest, the newborn, to the eldest, they can eat. If something is cooked, you have to get it and get it now, because it might not be there five minutes after."
Ross's oldest sister is 22 years old, and the youngest member of the family was a baby boy born in November.
"It is so interesting, obviously he is very giving," said OPRF coach Matt Maloney. "When you have 14 siblings, you have to share a lot of the responsibility. But he has never once used that as an excuse to be down, or frustrated or be out of it. He never says anything about having to do extra chores, baby-sit, or balance school with his family and with basketball.

So this was Caldwell's call.
Caldwell and Mularkey spent four years together in Atlanta, getting to know each other well enough that Caldwell didn't need a sit down with Mularkey after he got the GM job Tuesday.
Fans, for the most part, say they're very happy change is on the way.
"First impression, not surprised at all after a 2-14 year," Jaguars fan Danny Smith said of Mularkey's firing. "So it's something you could anticipate with a new general manager."
"It probably needed to be done," fan Nathan Terrill added. "I know we had some injuries, but every team has injuries."
"You've got to start at the top," fan Tom Doyle said. "Since the new owner is giving a hands-off approach, the new general manager is going to have to run the whole thing."
Some fans said they thought Mularkey deserved more time, but most said it was time to clean house.
"In the business world, if you don't produce, you're out of there," Terrill said. "I don't see any difference in the sports world, especially when the head coach doesn't have anything to fall back on. I mean, if we had Bill Cowher, he's proven himself. Mularkey, what has he done? Nothing."
Potential replacements for Mularkey include former Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith, Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians and San Francisco 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Roman's name has been linked to the Jaguars since Caldwell became the leading candidate to replace Smith.
Roman and Caldwell were teammates and roommates in the 1990s while attending John Carroll University.

You don't have to buy an iPhone 5S just to enjoy slow-mo. As the old saying goes, there's an app for that. And it's way cool.
One of the major new features of the iPhone 5S camera is slow-motion video. We've compiled some of the best early videos, taken by new buyers.
Over the weekend, videographers uploaded many slow-motion video clips shot with the iPhone 5S. Crave's Christopher MacManus shares a few amusing -- and cool -- clips that show off the potential of the new slow-mo feature found on Apple's latest smartphone.
Vinyet's tools for creating, editing, and publishing videos to Instagram or Vine are better than what you get with the services themselves.

The Kent Four
Sculptor/Creator – Alastair Granville-Jackson
Date – 1971
Medium – metal, painted orange
Location- Art Building
Background –
In 1971 School of Art faculty member Alastair Granville-Jackson created "The Kent Four" sculpture. It was one of the first art memorials to commemorate the four students who died on May 4, 1970. The four hollow arms of the orange metal sculpture were intended to project live flames. About his work, Professor Granville-Jackson said: "After considering the manner of death, four rifle barrels, I took these symbols of destruction and turned them into four new emblems for the viewer to ponder."

so unexpected
but good luck, Brezina has improved already
hope he transitions continually
I hope he doesn't start skating empty programs like Weir did.
My job requires me to be a juggler, but that does not mean that I enjoy working with clowns.
I think this is a smart move. Michal needs consistency mostly, and the European style of training is not known for doing lots of run-throughs. So, I think coming to the US should help with that. I also think he could benefit from more strength and stamina, he always looks tired at the end of his programs and that's usually when he makes mistakes, plus he is very skinny, which idk if that helps make his jumps so good or not. I'd like to see him with better programs, his free programs for both this season and the last season were generic and below his potential. He deserves better. Hope this works out for him.
Second, of course you're right, if finally winning a world medal, a couple more grand prix events, medalling at consequtive GPFs, making an Olympic team in one of the toughest fields and putting out great skates at the Olympics is what Michal has to look forward to, then he might as well turn around a go home now.
Yes, his frees could stand out more but they're at the level of many of his rivals.
I would guess that the reason why the choreography isn't more complex in his frees is that he really struggles with consistency/stamina/both as it is.
The reason might be mental, it might be to do with training. We don't know.
Last edited by Ziggy; 04-09-2012 at 10:54 PM.
I really liked his short program too. Hope the change works for him.
At least he'll have the comfort of never having to learn a new routine, year after year.
WTF? He'll be training with Johnny? umm... fine... just PLEASE dont have Nina do his programs...PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!
I actually don't think it's mental, more of a stamina thing. He always seems to lose steam at the end of the program and mess up the easier elements. Someone that is that consistent on triple axels (and has a decent hit rate on quads) doesn't seem worthy of the head-case moniker to me.
Surprised to hear this, but hopefully it works out. What other top skaters are training with Petrenko? I remember seeing him in the Kiss and Cry a few times, but i don't recall who he was with. I think we'll still get to see Karl's cool glasses though, since doesn't he coach Hausch and Wende?
Okay, I give. How does one pronounce "Fajfr?"
Like "Pfeiffer." It's probably just a Czech transliteration of the German.
Oh, and apparently Michal Březina didn't break his potato's damnation.

This unusual native plant has to rate as one of my best plant acquisitions of the past year. Belonging to the genus Monardella,
a small group of plants native to the Western US, Monardella macrantha is found in chaparral, woodland and forest habitats in mountainous regions of southern California. 'Marion Sampson' is an exceptional selection of the species that will amaze gardeners with its non-stop display of superbly showy tubular, deep red flowers.
In the wild, the plant grows as a groundcover with stem rooting as it grows across the soil. Plant it in partial sun under trees and shrubs where conditions are drier and in full sun where it gets more regular irrigation. I also highly recommend the plant for use in containers as a "spiller" where it will trail over the edge and spill down the side, covering itself with the marvelous deep red flower clusters. In the ground, I like to combine it with Salvia arizonica, another native dry semi-shade lover. In containers, plant 'Marion Sampson' with Salvia 'Ultra Violet' and your favorite annuals.
Scarlet Monardella is also a fabulous source of nectar for hummingbirds and is like a living hummingbird feeder blooming all spring, summer and fall. To attract hummingbirds with this plant, place it in window boxes, hanging baskets and along the edges of raised beds and rock walls.
5 Responses to "New Plants for Spring 2012 Part #5"
oooooh, ahhhh Will this grow in hot Abilene, Tx? 3 months high 90 degrees, 2″ of rain per month?
Yes, this perennial is worth trying in Abilene.
You have two options.
- It is a great potted plant for container gardens and can be treated as an annual for partial shade.
- If you try it in the ground, choose a wind protected place with some morning sun but shade all afternoon. Enrich the soil with Yum Yum Mix and keep it mulched with pine needles.
How will this work in a container on my "hummingbird plant wagon" out in the hot sun in northwest Tarrant County, TX?
Monardella is not a plant for hot, full sun. (Read my comment above you question). It is an outstanding hummingbird plant and I would recommend it as a potted plant placed where it will get afternoon shade or all day dappled sun.
How well will Monarda macrantha do under either pinyon or juniper tres in Sedona, AZ?

Thank you:) The cupcakes decorations are super easy. You can buy the toppers here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/79915064/ I made a chocolate cake and covered it with brown fondant, then made a strip around the bottom with pink fondant and added polka dots with white fondant. The topper is made with cardstock and ribbon. For the rolls, I got a mickey mouse cookie cutter and cut the shapes out of crescent rolls. You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you have any specific questions or need any help with your party. Holly
