Competing ND Bills Target Texting While DrivingMinot Rep. Dan Ruby used a cell phone and a sheet of paper Thursday to illustrate the North Dakota Legislature's debate about the best way to deter motorists from sending text messages as they drive.
By: Associated Press,
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Minot Rep. Dan Ruby used a cell phone and a sheet of paper Thursday to illustrate the North Dakota Legislature's debate about the best way to deter motorists from sending text messages as they drive.
Ruby is the chief sponsor of legislation that establishes a new "distracted driving" traffic offense, with a $100 penalty for violators. It does not explicitly ban texting while driving, but it would punish motorists who cause accidents by taking their eyes off the road.
The bill is an alternative to a proposal introduced by Rep. Lawrence Klemin, R-Bismarck, that would specifically prohibit motorists from using their cell phones to send text messages while they are driving.
"If I'm texting, or I'm reading this," Ruby said, holding up his cell phone, "that's a crime. But if I'm reading this while I'm driving," he continued, holding up a copy of his own bill, "it's just as much of a distraction, but it's fine. There's nothing wrong with it, according to our law, if we pass the texting ban."
Ruby, a Republican, told the North Dakota Senate's Transportation Committee that Klemin's bill would also allow police to stop motorists who were legally using their phones to make calls — instead of sending illegal text messages — because it would be difficult for officers to tell the difference.
The Transportation Committee held hearings on both bills, and did not take immediate action on either.
Under Klemin's bill, first offenders would be fined $100 and have two penalty points assessed against their drivers' licenses. A second offender would get a four-point penalty. Drivers who accumulate 12 or more points have their licenses suspended.
The legislation would allow police to pull over motorists if they were observed texting while driving. Ruby's is a "secondary enforcement" law, which means police could not stop an allegedly distracted driver unless he or she first committed another traffic offense.
Klemin's proposal attracted more support at Thursday's hearings. An insurance executive, a high school student and Bismarck Police Chief Keith Witt were among those who spoke in its favor. Only Ruby and a cosponsor, Rep. Kim Koppelman, R-West Fargo, testified in favor of his measure.
"By taking a stand on the issue, and making it illegal, we set the standard for acceptable behavior," Dale Haake, a claims director for Nodak Mutual Insurance Co. of Fargo, said of Klemin's bill.
The cities of Grand Forks and Bismarck have approved local texting-while-driving bans. Carrie Sandstrom, 16, a junior at Bismarck Century High School, said Thursday the Bismarck ordinance had prompted her to stop texting while driving, even though she had done so before despite her parents' orders. She predicted a state law would have the same effect for all North Dakota teenagers.
"As soon as the (Bismarck) regulations were passed, I put the phone down. My peers did, and others did too," Sandstrom said.
Witt spoke in favor of Klemin's bill, while expressing skepticism about Ruby's approach.
"You almost have to have something bad happening before you have a violation, instead of saying, just this specific conduct (texting), in and of itself, is illegal," Witt said.
Ruby's bill is HB1190. Klemin's bill is HB1195.

The CW Picks Up Pilot for The Carrie Diariesby Matt Richenthal at .
Carrie Bradsahw is returning to the small screen. A younger version of Carrie Bradshaw, that is.
The CW has greenlighted a pilot based on The Carrie Diaries, Candace Bushnell's prequel to Sex and the City. The story will revolve around the character Sarah Jessica Parker made famous, setting her in senior year of high school in 1980s Mahattan.
Among others, Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage (Gossip Girl, Hart of Dixie) will produce the series, which ought to create major buzz surrounding the key question of: Who should play a teenage version of Carrie Bradshaw?
The network has also made official its pick-up of Arrow, based on The Green Arrow comic book; and announced an upcoming version of Beauty and the Beast that will reportedly add a procedural element to the classic fairy tale.
Which of these projects has you most excited?

Beauty and the Beast should be good.
The Carrie Diaries should be fun, but considering Carrie got an abortion before the series, just as she moved to New York, would probably cause a stir up in the show and PTC.
Green Arrow is only worth it if Justin Harley plays it OR if it is set with him at the age of 18 or such. At least 15 years before Smallville.

A 21-year-old Litchfield man and a 17-year-old Pawleys Island female were arrested after the teen ran away to be with him July 23.
The teens father called 911 after his daughter went missing.
Deputies checked her computer and found messages she and the man had written to each other talking about getting together, smoking marijuana and having sex.
It was discovered she had sent the man three nude photos of herself.
Deputies drove to the mans Litchfield Plantation home and saw his eyes were bloodshot and glassy.
He smelled of alcohol.
The runaway was found in the mans bedroom which had an odor of marijuana.
A nearly empty bottle of wine was also found in the bedroom.
The man was charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor and possession of marijuana. The woman was charged with being a minor in possession of alcohol.
Robbed on the beach
A 16-year-old from Marietta, Ga. says he was robbed while walking on the beach in Garden City the night of July 22.
The teen who suffers from Aspergers said he was changing a song on his phone when he was approached by what he described as a redneck who was about six foot tall with a strong southern accent.
The teen said the man pointed a gun at him and demanded he give him his phone.
The teen said he was able to squeeze the suspects wrist causing the magazine from the gun to fall on the ground.
The victim said he quickly grabbed the magazine and threw it in the ocean.
He then ran away from the suspect, who was never located.
Assaulted in
soup kitchen
A woman said she was assaulted by a stranger while she was volunteering in the soup kitchen at Pawleys Island Presbyterian Church July 24.
The woman said she was washing dishes when the man grabbed her by the head and started to hit on her.
She said she was in the kitchen alone when the man walked in.
When she screamed for help, others ran in and separated the man from her.
Because the man is Autistic, the woman decided she would not press charges.
However, she did want him placed on trespass notice.
Out of control teen
Deputies were sent to a home on Bragdon Ave. July 24 because a 17-year-old was tearing up his grandfathers home.
When the officers arrived, the older man met them outside and said his grandson was out of control and needed to be removed from the house.
He said the argument began because he would not allow his grandson to live in his shed.
When a deputy walked in the house, the teen was sweeping the floor and refused to speak.
The deputy grabbed the teen by the arm and the teen took a fighting stance.
With the help of another deputy, the officer was able to get the suspect on the ground and in handcuffs.
Because he continued to resist, the deputies had to carry the teen to the patrol car.
He had a pipe used to smoke marijuana in his possession.
He was taken to jail.
Cat shot in
Murrells Inlet
A man who feeds cats outside his home on Moss Creek Loop in Murrells Inlet said he noticed an unusual lump on the back of one of the animals July 23.
He took the cat to Coastal Animal Rescue and it was determined the cat had a BB lodged under its skin which was removed.
The man said several of his neighbors are unhappy about all the cats in the area and have made statements about getting rid of them.
He fears one of them may have shot the cat.
Information is subject to change as the investigation proceeds. Individuals arrested and/or charged have not been convicted.

The Primaries Hurt Mitt Romney With Women and Hispanics
Mitt Romney has reason to worry about female and Latino voters.
It's been widely and justly repeated over the last few weeks that the protracted GOP presidential primary process hurt Mitt Romney's general election chances. An interesting panel at the Bipartisan Policy Center on the demographics of 2012 provided some data to back up that notion.
Ruy Teixeira, a progressive demographic expert with the Center for American Progress, among other places, pointed to a recent Pew poll that had President Obama leading among Hispanics by a 68-23 margin, which is a larger proportion than he won by in 2008. "I'm not saying Hispanics are gone in this election, there's plenty of time for Romney to try to readjust," he said. "But I do think some damage was probably done by the Republican primary process, and the not too friendly things that were said about immigrants and immigration reform by all the candidates, including Romney."
[Read the U.S. News debate: Has the Drawn-out Primary Crippled Romney's Chances Against Obama?]
Teixeira was joined on the panel by Sean Trende, Real Clear Politics's senior elections analyst, who said that current demographic trends are going to force some changes on the GOP, including a softening of its stance on immigration. "There probably will be changes in the Republican stance on immigration," he said. "Certainly not this cycle with Mitt Romney and self-deportation—it sends chills up my spine every time says it." Hispanics' spines too.
The other group they particularly talked about was women. Teixeira picked up on something that National Journal's Ron Brownstein has pointed out repeatedly: that the driving force in the growing gender gap is the GOP taking a "nose dive" among college educated white women. "It does appear to have something to do with flaps in the Republican primary process," Teixeira said. "These things about abortion and contraception have not helped at all. And I do think there's a sort of hard edge to the Republican economic policy that really [doesn't] feel right to a lot of women voters." Trende said that polling shows little difference between men and women regarding issues like birth control but agreed that the economic message is hurting the GOP.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Mitt Romney.]
I assume he's right about the polls regarding things like birth control, but it seems to me it also becomes an issue of emphasis. Men and women might have the same views, but the issue has more personal salience for women than it does for me, so they are likely to react with more intensity on it.
In any case, it looks like Team Romney is keenly aware of the damage the primaries did with these groups.

While using an NFE not named Chansey in OU might seem odd, especially one with such pitiful stats as Aron, Aron has quite a bit going for it. It succeeds where all other FEAR users have failed in the past, mainly due to its immunities to Toxic and sandstorm. This means that unlike Pokemon such as Cottonee and the classic Rattata, Aron cannot be worn down by most common forms of residual damage. It actually thrives in sand, as sandstorm damage finishes off most Pokemon after they take an Endeavor, mitigating Aron's lack of access to priority. After Aron is hit by an attack, which will always activate Sturdy because it is level 1, it can use Endeavor to bring the foe down to 1 HP. Aron's Shell Bell then heals it back up to full HP, creating an endless cycle of death.
Like most Pokemon, Aron does have its flaws. First off, most opponents know exactly what Aron does, so they can play around it. Aron's major downfall is its vulnerability to entry hazards; if they are on the field, Aron cannot switch in lest its beloved Sturdy be broken. Additionally, it is affected by burn, Leech Seed, Encore, and Perish Song, not to mention multi-hit moves, which ignore Sturdy. Furthermore, Aron flat-out fails against stall and even some balance teams, as they always carry at least one or two of the aforementioned ways of defeating Aron. However, offensive teams generally have a difficult time against it; these teams are the most common, so Aron finds use in most battles. Overall, despite its numerous downfalls, Aron is a decent choice for any team, though you must provide the support it requires.
Aron isn't that difficult to use, but there are a few steps you must take for it to succeed. During the Team Preview, look over your opponent's team. If he or she does not have a Ghost-type or a Pokemon that can inflict burn, then Aron has the upper hand. However, if the opponent does, these Pokemon and others that can stop Aron, such as users of Perish Song, Encore, and multi-hit attacks, must be removed. As the game progresses and these issues are dealt with, the next step is getting Aron in, which isn't that easy. If there are entry hazards on the field, make sure they are gone before you bring in Aron, as they will break its Sturdy and thus render it completely useless. Aron also has to come in completely unscathed, so you must be sure to utilize smart double switches, U-turn, and Volt Switch; the only other option is to bring it in after one of Aron's teammates faints. An interesting way to do this is to use a kamikaze Explosion and then bring it in.
Once Aron is in play, you are nearly guaranteed one kill. Any attack will bring Aron down to Sturdy range, so the best move is to respond with Endeavor, after which Shell Bell will bring it back to full health. If the foe doesn't attack, you have a few options. This is where the other moves come into play. If the foe doesn't carry Leftovers, Protect is an excellent choice, as sandstorm damage will finish these foes off, assuming they are damaged by it. If the foe isn't affected by sandstorm or is a Ghost-type, using Toxic is the best modus operandi, as this will wear said foe down. Although Aron itself might not be able to complete the job, a teammate should be able to. Hidden Power Rock is for cases where the foe is immune to sandstorm damage and Toxic yet is sitting at 1 HP. Hidden Power Rock is chosen because every attack will do exactly two damage to a level 100 Pokemon regardless of its Base Power, and it can hit Shedinja. If the foe is immune to Toxic and sandstorm and carries Leftovers, Aron just will not be able to kill it, though it will come very close. Sometimes, however, you don't have to deal with any of this due to the foe being unprepared for Aron and can just spam Endeavor along with possibly Protect to win the game.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Using any set other than the one listed will cause you to be the laughingstock of the OU ladder. Don't even think about it.
Checks and Counters
As a start, any weather other than sand renders Aron completely useless. Without the additional damage sandstorm provides, Aron is unable to actually kill its foes. Ghost-types, such as Jellicent, Gengar, and Sableye, are unaffected by Endeavor and thus are perfect counters to it. All Aron can do in return is use Toxic, though Gengar is immune to it too. Jellicent and Sableye in addition to Rotom-W can burn Aron; because Aron is not immune to burn, it is immediately crippled for the duration of the match. Because Aron is affected by Leech Seed, Pokemon such as Ferrothorn can also stop Aron. Entry hazards also render Aron completely useless, as they break its beloved Sturdy, which means it can't take a hit before it uses Endeavor.
Defensive Pokemon that are immune to Toxic and have some sort of recovery option, such as Ferrothorn and Skarmory, though Ferrothorn won't enjoy a hit from Endeavor. Poison Heal Gliscor is especially effective, as its ability heals it up after the Endeavor; it is also immune to Toxic and sandstorm. Pokemon that carry multi-hit attacks, such as Breloom and Cloyster, can ignore Sturdy and kill Aron. Pokemon with the ability Mold Breaker or Teravolt work in a similar vein. Garchomp and Ferrothorn, which have the abilities Rough Skin and Iron Barbs respectively, can check Aron; their abilities can finish off Aron after it uses Endeavor, though the former pretty much has to sacrifice itself to do so,. Finally, having unrelenting offensive pressure means Aron cannot switch in, so if you somehow lack any of the aforementioned Pokemon, playing well can get you around it.

A man and woman who teamed up to fence a stolen Matisse masterpiece last summer for $740,000 to FBI undercover agents in Miami Beach were handed prison sentences Tuesday.
A federal judge sentenced Pedro Antonio Marcuello Guzman, 46, of Miami, to about three years and Maria Martha Elisa Ornelas Lazo, 50, of Mexico City, to about two years for attempting to sell "Odalisque in Red Pants." It was stolen from a Venezuelan museum a decade ago.
In late October, Marcuello pleaded guilty to conspiring to transport and sell stolen property and related charges, and Ornelas pleaded guilty to one conspiracy charge.
According to court records, FBI undercover agents posing as buyers tracked down the Henri Matisse painting — valued at $3.7 million — and made arrangements to buy it from the pair. Ornelas brought the 1925 masterpiece through Miami International Airport to a hotel in Miami Beach in July.
The missing painting had been swapped for a forgery at the Caracas Contemporary Art Museum. The museum purchased the piece in 1981 for more than $400,000. It was on loan for a short time to a Spanish exhibit in 1997. In December 2002, the museum reported it stolen. A few months later, museum leaders told the public about the theft.
While the theft itself remains unsolved, Marcuello told the FBI it was an inside job, supporting museum director Rita Salvestrini's suspicions that the painting was taken by someone with access to the museum.
Investigators from Venezuela, Spain, France, Britain, Interpol, and the FBI pursued an array of leads, according to published reports.

This indecision's bugging me
Esta undecision me molesta
If you don't want me, set me free
– The Clash, "Should I Stay or Should I Go"
That classic song just about sums up old man Brett "500-Ball" Favre's situation in Green Bay. Every time I see Brett and his salt-and-pepper hair I hear The Clash.
We all knew Favre didn't really mean it when he announced his retirement at the end of last season's playoff loss to Eli Manning and the G-men. The man, or should I say the legend, wants to play another season. Why not let him?
The boys up in the booth in Green Bay don't know what to do with him… actually they are happy with him just staying retired. Nobody really knew how Favre and Packers Coach Mike McCarthy were getting along until this week, when Favre spoke to Fox News about his semi-retirement predicament. The Packers want to move on with the dim-witted QB Aaron Rodgers and have told Brett that plan. In turn, Brett says he wants to be released to play for another team.
Green Bay, who has the rights on Favre, won't release him because of his legacy with the Packers.
"OK, you guys have a different path, fine," Favre recalled of an earlier conversation with McCarthy on Fox News. "What does that mean for me? So that means either you give me my helmet, welcome back, or release me, or attempt to trade me. We all know that's a possibility, but a way-out-there possibility."
For Green Bay team owners, Favre playing somewhere else isn't an option. He is a Green Bay quarterback and that is how they want his legacy to be remembered.
"You're telling me playing there is not an option [to start], but playing elsewhere, we just can't – we're trying to protect your legacy," Favre told Fox. "Well, thank you. I appreciate that. But apparently now, they're trying to protect my legacy by bringing me back and having me be a backup."
To me, it sounds like Brett knows more about what he wants in all his indecision than the team knows in all their decision making. First, I can't see why they wouldn't let Brett start another season. OK, he really sucked in the 2006-07 season… I mean really sucked. In competitive rivalries against teams like the Bears, it looked like Favre was playing a backyard game of 500 – closing his eyes and sailing the ball up in the air for all to grab.
But last season he was better, sure he made some mistakes (especially in their final game) but he wasn't bad. More importantly, he was fun to watch. Frankly, he is still a competitor, more so than Rodgers, who is yet to impress anybody other than Green Bay's coaches. Brett is better, and will continue to be better, than Rodgers for the next five years.
All right, so they want to move forward with Rodgers. Then let Brett go to another team already. That won't be the end of the world in Green Bay. (Yes, if Elway were in the same situation, it would have been the end of the world in Denver.) Really, I think if he were to be released or traded, the staff in Green Bay should try to dump him off to another NFC rival team. Then, at least in their heads, they will be a step ahead in knowing Brett's style of play and his many so-called weaknesses.
And other teams are eager to pick him up.
Already in a report in the New York Times on Thursday, the Minnesota Vikings are being accused of interfering by contacting Favre. It seems the Vikings would like the old man behind center. Hell, with the state of the Broncos right now, I wouldn't mind bringing him to Dove Valley for some snaps to see if he could pick up the Denver offense.
Brett's legacy won't be lost if he goes to another team. Other notable quarterbacks have done the same – Joe Montana and Joe Namath for example – without adverse effects. And think of hockey great Ray Bourke who spent a stellar career with Boston and moved on to Colorado in his twilight to win his first Stanley Cup. His legacy is still with Boston and his jersey is hung not only in Boston but in Denver, too.
Brett is Green Bay and I see no problem with him playing anywhere else. He is as exciting as it gets and is as fun to watch as anyone in the league. He also could come in handy for the Broncos, who may need an opponent who can throw Denver's secondary a few interceptions.
Green Bay management: Release Favre from your shackles and send him to the AFC.

Brad Pitt, Katie Holmes, and Christina Aguilera may not seem like they have much in common, but all three superstars were born on the same day, December 18 – of course, in different years. 2012 was also pretty big for all three of them: Pitt got engaged to longtime love Angelina Jolie, Holmes divorced Tom Cruise, and Aguilera released her seventh album, Lotus. And the coming year will be just as eventful for them, according to AstrologyZone.com's Susan Miller. Using the exact minute each person was born and in what city, she was able to chart which planets were where at that moment, which influences their lives.
"The one thing they all have in common since they're all Sagittarians is that this is the sign of the great storyteller," Miller tells omg!. The sign is also very independent, she adds. "It really likes to say, 'I can do this by myself!' But this year, they don't have to. They should all do collaborations through June … and the second half is all about money that flows from those collaborations."
For Pitt, there will be collaborations of two kinds. One will be career-related and will be very lucrative monetarily even through 2014, while the other will be of the romantic variety. Yes, it looks like he and Jolie will finally tie the knot! "They will be in the news in April, and May even more," notes Miller. "Something's going on here. Are they getting married? She's a Gemini, and 80 percent of brides marry within six weeks of their birthday [Jolie's is June 4]. She's getting married in June. And it will be perfect!"
When it comes to his acting career, Miller suggests the 48-year-old look more at period pieces if he wants to finally nab that Oscar. "He won't get an Academy Award any time soon," says Miller. "A few more years. It could be the latter part of 2014 or 2015 or 2016. All those years are dazzling to win awards. He can't before that. The rice isn't cooked yet if you know what I mean." But more so than an Oscar or multi-millions in box-office revenue, Pitt will be most revered for what he's done for the victims of Hurricane Katrina with his Make It Right foundation, and what the idea of creating affordable, sustainable housing will continue to do for those affected by natural disasters in the future. That, says Miller, will be "his lasting legacy."
Relationships and money matters will also be at the forefront for Holmes in 2013. Now officially single since blindsiding Cruise with divorce papers in June, the 34-year-old will happily dip her feet back into the dating pool in April – and will not go for a man like her ex. "She goes for entrepreneurial types, self-made men," says Miller. "She likes them to be strong … she wants a cowboy, a take charge kind of man. He's very comfortable in banking, which she finds fascinating. He may even be an athlete, or had been in the military like a SEAL. She has some fun ahead! She should not jump into a relationship too fast … play hard to get! They will still be pounding on her door."
Although Holmes and Cruise settled their divorce in late August, just seven weeks after they split, Miller thinks the money has yet to come to the former "Dawson's Creek" star, but that it will in the next six months. "I think she will do fine," she says. "For some reason it's been held up. Maybe they had to sell some properties first, but I think she'll get it in the second half of the year."
Aguilera, 32, may be in a different place in her life than Holmes, but she too will see a big boost in the love and finance departments, the latter especially in January and April. "She's getting more and more entrepreneurial as she grows," notes Miller, who wonders if she should go into something involving dolls. "I bet she's thinking up side businesses right now. It's something very unusual and different, and she's thinking about overseas. And she should, she should keep thinking global."
The "Voice" coach falls in love easily – and people fall in love with her easily, explains Miller, due to her Aquarius rising sign (Aquarius is ruled by Uranus, and Uranus convenes with Venus, giving her great sex appeal). But she could take herself off the market in June and say "I do" to her boyfriend of two years, Matt Rutler. "She should get married just a little bit before June 19, which is the luckiest day of the year," says Miller. "You always want to catch something as it's going up the hill. The 19th is a Tuesday, but most people get married over the weekend. She has from the 8th until that weekend … that would be absolutely perfect for a wedding!"
First comes love, then comes marriage, and soon after will come the baby carriage. The pitter-patter of little feet will come back into her life (Aguilera has son Max, 4, with ex-husband Jordan Bratman) in the very near future – and Miller predicts it will be a girl! "It would be the second half of 2013 or beginning of 2014, and it's the best time of her whole life and she's never seen anything like this before."
For Brad, Katie, and Christina's sakes, let's hope the planets all align as they should so these good things actually happen!

A Fargo apartment fire sends one woman to the hospitalFargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Flames break out in a Fargo apartment building, sending one woman to the hospital.
By: Andrea Hubbell, WDAY, WDAY
Fargo, ND (WDAY TV) -- Flames break out in a Fargo apartment building, sending one woman to the hospital.
It didn't take long for the flames to spread. In even less time Fargo crews were on their way.
Carolyn Veck is a near by neighbor, on 6th Avenue North.
Carolyn Veck: "i know a few of them in here, yes I do, but not the one in 801"
Waiting and watching for these men to fight the fire.
Steve Balstad/Asst. Fire Chief: "crews are overhauling, ventilating the building and they're calling in an investigator to come check it out."
The call came in around eleven.
"we've probably been here about 10-15 minutes."
And workers put it out before twelve. But not before one woman was taken to the hospital.
"she singed her hair..."
Now this mattress erupted in flames, but the fire was contained to this apartment right here.
"two floors above."
Daniel, lives even closer, he called 911.
Daniel Smiaticki: "I heard the fire alarm, I didn't know where it was coming from then I opened the door to the hallway and saw all the smoke."
The damage is doen, but the work is only beginning.
"maybe it was more like rubber or something."
"I knew it would be ok."
The investigator is listing the fire as "undetermined."

Advances in polymer manufacturing have resulted in a complex array of testing requirements. Ranging from mechanical testing such as Notched Izod impact testing and Melt Flow analysis to complex elemental analysis using chromatography, companies are faced with mountains of data.
Academics can be split in three groups based on their software needs and interests.
QA/QC laboratories play a critical role in any organization, providing the testing and the results that are needed to control manufacturing processes and to ensure the quality of raw materials, in process samples and finished goods. Time is of the essence, accuracy is critical and the laboratory must be sure that processes and procedures are carried out and fully documented in a manner that supports regulatory compliance.

Austin >Food & Dining > D K Sushi Restaurant
6400 S 1st St # C, Austin, TX | Directions 7874530.200127 -97.786287
Mon. - Thu. 11:30am - 9:15pm;Fri. 11:30am - 9:45pm;Sat. 4:30pm - 9:45pm;Sun. CLOSED
Neighborhoods: South Congress, Sweetbriar
Let me get right to the point: The sushi at DK Sushi isn't really the point. Sure, it's fine. But the real draw is Thursday night karaoke, hosted by what may be a certifiably insane (and hilarious) individual, DK himself. Free sake bombs if you sit in the front, and more if you take the stage and sing. Along with a gong, Asian soft porn on overhead TVs, a disco ball and DK's Gallagher-like personality, it's an Austin rite of passage.

Expect a few phone calls from us this summer. When you answer there will be the familiar recorded greeting "Good evening, Metro Schools families." What comes after may determine whether or not your child can attend school next year.
When school starts Wed., August 1, 2012, any student entering the seventh grade must have an updated Tennessee Immunization Certificate showing a recent tetanus-diphtheria-pertussis (Tdap) booster and verification of immunity to varicella (chicken pox). Without it, students will not be allowed to attend school.
That's why we're urging everyone to take care of these requirements now, not later. Have your child vaccinated and give the updated certificate to your school before summer break starts. It's easier for everyone and takes another item off your summer to-do list.
The Metro Public Health Department offers immunizations required for school each Monday through Friday at its three Health Centers. Health officials emphasize that children with insurance coverage should visit their own healthcare provider for these shots, along with an added benefit of getting an annual well child physical exam. Tell your neighbors, friends, co-workers, and church groups. Send it to your neighborhood list-serv. Announce it at your next PTA meeting. It's important information for the entire community.
Go to your family doctor or one of the three Public Health Centers to make arrangements for your child to receive these immunizations. Then when the phone rings with our friendly reminder, you can go on with your evening. For full information about required immunizations and where you can get them, call your child's healthcare provider or visit the Metro Public Health Department website: http://health.nashville.gov/Immunizations.htm
Congratulations to you and your student who is about to finish 6th grade! There is one last requirement before your student can begin 7th grade.
Students currently enrolled in a Tennessee school and entering the 7th grade in August 2012 must provide the school an updated Tennessee Immunization Certificate with proof of two additional immunizations:
Remember 2-4-7:
2 Immunizations
Be 4 my student
Can start 7th grade
To view in Spanish, click here.
Parents, remember there are new immunization requirements required by the state. Click here to review the requirements.
For most students, a lack of updated vaccination records by Monday, Aug. 22 will mean they cannot return to school until they turn in updated records.
To help families meet these requirements, Metro Health Department is adding nurses and opening a special Fast Lane Immunization Clinic. Here is the information from the Health Department:
Fast Lane ClinicLentz Public Health Center Auditorium311 23rd Avenue NorthMonday, August 297:00 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. Immunizations Available DailyLentz, East & Woodbine Health Centers8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.More from the Health Department

Fly-in fly-out study
Thursday, 13 October 2011
ECU researchers are looking at the effect of fly-in fly-out rosters on families.
ECU researchers are investigating the effect that a parent's fly-in fly-out (FIFO) employment has on the health and wellbeing of their adolescent children.
PhD student Jacinth Watson, from ECU's Child Health Promotion Research Centre (CHPRC), is seeking families with adolescents aged from 12 to 17 for the study.
She would like to hear from both families with a FIFO parent and those without
Ms Watson said the FIFO work roster, common in the resources and construction sectors, was a relatively recent phenomenon in Western Australia and there was no research on how the regular absences of a parent affected their adolescent's capacity to be resilient.
"We want to know if adolescents who live in FIFO families adapt to the absence of the parent and become more self reliant, develop higher levels of self esteem and have increased capacity to be resilient," she said.
"Or is the absence of the parent a disruptive effect on the adolescent, making it more difficult for them to cope with other challenges in their life?"
Initial results of Ms Watson's study have found:
- 73.5% of adolescents are sad when the FIFO parent returns to work;
- 43.1% felt nervous or anxious when the FIFO parent returns to work;
- 45.6% worry about the FIFO parent's safety at work;
- 86.8% communicate with their FIFO parent (when the parent is at work). The telephone is the most frequent means of communication for the FIFO parent and adolescent, with email (84.3%) SMS (34.5%) and Facebook (25.8%) also used.
Families interested in participating in the study are invited to email Ms Watson.

Since its inception in 1931, the Bridgestone Corporation has built a reputation for innovation and quality. In 1985, they brought that same concept to the golf industry when they created Bridgestone Golf. Said to be the bread and butter of the company, the golf ball line that Bridgestone produces is one of the best in golf. They consistently put the emphasis on golf ball fitting which appeals to every type of golfer. Based on a player's swing speed and tendencies, Bridgestone Golf will narrow down the golf ball selection to one recommendation that fits your game from the following models: E5, E6, E7, Tour B330, Tour B330-S, Tour B330-RX, and the Tour B330-RXS.
Bridgestone Golf is not limited to golf balls as they also have introduced highly detailed performance golf clubs. The J33 irons helped put them on the map and continues to be a popular option for players. Bridgestone Golf became a serious player in the iron market with their J36 line. It featured the J36 Blades, J36 Cavity Back, J36 Pocket Cavity, and the J36 Combo Set. They are all forged from 1020 mild carbon steel for incredible feel. They provided a perfect balance of workability in the blades to forgiveness in the pocket cavity irons. The cavity back and combo irons fall somewhere in between. With the success of the J33 woods and the J36 irons, Bridgestone moved forward with their J38 product. This line boasted some of the higher end clubs on the market at the time and continues to appeal to golfers today.
The latest and greatest from Bridgestone Golf is their J40 line-up of clubs. They came out with 2 new drivers: a 445cc model and a 430cc model. The 445cc model was designed for the golfer looking for a higher ball flight and more forgiveness. The 430cc model is geared towards the golfer looking for a lower trajectory and the ability to shape their shot. Additionally, Bridgestone Golf's new J40 irons are a beautiful offering. They can be found in both Cavity Back and Pocket Cavity models and are still forged of 1020 carbon steel.
Bridgestone Golf is always moving forward with new technology as they strive to be the best. 2nd Swing carries a wide selection of new and New Bridgestone irons, wedges, fairway woods, and drivers.

Homework Hotline
What is Homework Hotline?
The Harvey Mudd College (HMC) Homework Hotline is an over-the-phone, mathematics and science tutoring service for students in grades 4—12. Our program is modeled after the successful Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT) Homework Hotline established in 1991.
Who can use Homework Hotline?
Students in grades 4–12 who need assistance with their mathematics and science assignments (i.e. homework, studying for a test).
Is Homework Hotline free?
Yes. Both the phone call and the tutoring are free to all student callers. Also, there is no need to register or go anywhere. Students call from the safety and comfort of their homes.
What do students need during a tutoring session?
- Homework assignment
- Textbook
- Paper
- Pencil/pen
- Calculator
What should I expect from a Homework Hotline tutoring session?
A homework hotline tutor will guide the student caller with guiding questions and encourage the student to be an active participant in his/her learning. The tutor will use the student's prior knowledge and encourage student to use all available resources first. The tutor will also invite the student to write down procedural steps in his/her own words to help him/her solve other similar problems on his/her own.
The goal of the tutor is to help the student caller with one homework question, and then encourage him/her to try solving similar problems on his/her own. The student caller is invited to call the homework hotline again, if s/he gets stuck on another problem (similar or different to current question).
We are committed to guiding student callers through their math and/or science homework questions, Sunday through Thursday from 6 to 9 p.m., yet there are certain days of the academic year when we will be closed.
We are closed during national holidays; and Harvey Mudd College semester breaks and finals week. Please view our academic year calendar for specific dates.

Poland - Full LMHI Report 2008
Report about Homeopathy in Poland 2007/2008
Author of the report, Tomasz Kokoszczyński was nominated as new LMHI NVP for Poland. He is medical doctor, trained in classical homeopathy and working in his own homeopathic practice for ten years.
Legal situation of Homeopathy in Poland
Homeopathy is officially not recognized, but doctors can treat homeopathically without any interference. In Poland only medical doctors are allowed to treat patients. Polish homeopaths are associated in a few legal homeopathic associations.
On 4th April 2008 Poland's Supreme Medical Council adopted resolution disapproving homeopathy and calling it unethical.
The resolution seems to be not consistent with the Polish and European Pharmaceutical Law which accepts Pharmacopeia with homeopathic remedies. The resolution arouse many protests from homeopaths and homeopathic companies.
Homeopatic Associations in Poland:
. Polish Homeopathic Association (Polskie Towarzystwo Homeopatyczne) - Warsaw
. Great Poland Homeopathic Physicians' and Pharmacist' Association (Wielkopolskie Stowarzyszenie Homeopatów Lekarzy i Farmaceutów - WSHLIF) - Poznan wshlif.home.pl
. Homeopathic Physicians' and Pharmacists Association of Lodz District (Stowarzyszenie Homeopatów Lekarzy i Farmaceutów Regionu Łódzkiego - SHLiFRŁ) - Łódź www.homeopatia.edu.pl
. Lublin Homeopathic Physicians' and Pharmacists Association (Lubelskie Stowarzyszenie Homeopatów Lekarzy i Farmaceutów - LSHLiF) www.lshlif.mbnet.pl
. Pomeranian Homeopathic Physicians' and Pharmacists Association - Szczecin (Pomorskie Stowarzyszenie Homeopatów Lekarzy i Farmaceutów - PSHLiF) www.homeopatia.szczecin.pl
. Polish Association for Clinical Homeopathy (Polskie Towarzystwo Homeopatii Klinicznej) - supported by Boiron and CEDH. www.pthk.pl
. "Little Poland Homeopathic Physicians' Association" (Małopolskie Stowarzyszenie Lekarzy Homeopatów i Farmaceutów - MSHLiF) - Cracow has suspended its activity.
Homeopathic Companies
Currently homeopathic remedies are available in Poland from Boiron, Jelinowski Laboratory, Heel, Sanum, Lehning and Dagomed, Wala, Decymal, Bionorica. Only Boiron and Jelinowski Laboratory supply single remedies commonly used in classical homeopathy.
Polish native manufacturer - Laboratory Jelinowski meet many obstructions from Polish Pharmaceutical Inspectorate and has stopped its production in 2006. Now he is trying to renew permissions, after positive judgment. Good news is that his remedies are legally available. It is the only source (apart from abroad) of LM potencies in Poland.
DHU (Deutsche Homöopathie-Union) withdraw their products and activities from Poland.
Homeopathic education
Main seminars in classical homeopathy are held by Polish Homeopathic Association (PTH) and Great Poland Homeopathic Physicians' and Pharmacist' Association (WSHLiF) -
