Albany Boosts Private Schools
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state lawmakers have proposed increasing public funding for religious and private schools, potentially reversing years of cuts and handing the Roman Catholic Church a political victory.
Under Mr. Cuomo's budget plan, nonpublic schools would get about $117 million, or a 13% increase, to carry out administrative duties the state requires, such as taking attendance, giving standardized tests and running immunization programs. The Assembly's plan puts such spending at about $118 million, while the Senate sets aside $133 million.
Mr. Cuomo hasn't reached a budget deal with the Assembly and Senate on New York's $132 billion budget, but, generally, funding increases proposed in all three spending plans are reflected in final agreements.
The New York State Catholic Conference led the push for money for 1,800 nonpublic schools with 416,000 students. It represented a rare moment of success for the church in the public arena, amid disappointments such as the legalization of gay marriage in New York last year and the Obama administration's mandate to cover contraception for workers.
And it marked a rare victory in Albany for private and religious schools, which say, even with the funding boost, they are still owed more money.
The state aid is essentially a reimbursement to the private schools for the time it takes teachers and other administrators for duties they might perform anyway.
The Catholic Conference estimates nonpublic schools are owed back payments of about $325 million because the state underestimates the cost of such duties.
"We have a long way to go, probably a number of years, before the state satisfies their obligation to our schools," said Jim Cultrara, the Catholic Conference's director of education.
The state Education Department disagreed and stands by its formula, which doesn't include the cost of employee benefits as the private schools want.
The reimbursements sit in a cozy area of legally allowable government funding for religious organizations. Courts have ruled that the state can pay private schools back for expenses such as textbooks, busing and test-taking, but not for actually providing instruction to students.
The state isn't required to fund the expenses, though.
Private and religious school leaders said they have been forced for years to fight for a few million dollars, while public school funding has skyrocketed by the billions. State aid to public schools would be about $20 billion under Mr. Cuomo's budget, a 4% increase from the current year.
"Frankly, it doesn't amount to crumbs," said Mr. Cultrara about private school funding.
Matt Wing, a spokesman for Mr. Cuomo, said: "Despite the tough fiscal times we face, the governor is doing everything he can to support education in our state, from providing more than $800 million in additional aid to public schools to increasing funding for mandates for private and parochial schools."
The dispute reaches back to 2002, when the state Board of Regents strengthened requirements for reporting attendance. Private and religious schools said they are owed about $280 million for the time spent simply taking attendance. "We were told, if we did certain things, we would receive X dollars for that. And we didn't," said Mark Lauria, executive director of the New York State Association of Independent Schools.
Unlike their public school counterparts, private schools haven't sued to recoup the funding. Mr. Lauria said they want to avoid friction with state leaders.
Paul Krebbs, president of the All Hallows High School in the Bronx, said the school was reimbursed $96,000 last year for the time 41 employees spent recording the attendance of 661 students. But the school expected $152,000, and the difference could have paid for another teacher, he said. The reimbursements make sense, he said. "Each teacher is going to spend X amount of his or her time not teaching history or English or math, but taking attendance," he said.
But Mr. Krebbs said his teachers would take attendance, whether they were reimbursed by the state or not. And they would still administer tests such as the Regents, which are required for graduation. "We've had them for 100 years," he said of the tests. "Would we find something else to substitute for the Regents? I haven't thought of that question."

The 'Workaholics' cast auditions for 'Game of Thrones,' with boob shots
Like everyone else on the internet, the cast of "Workaholics" knows that to reference "Game of Thrones" is to rack up tons of xxxtra pageviews/publicity, and thusly Adam DeVine, Blake Anderson and Anders Holm have put together their very own audition tape for the HBO series that features lots of weiner, boob and incest talk, which as everyone knows are the three most important parts of the show. Going the extra mile, the trio also create three brand-new characters for the audition, including:
Lord Deathly Murder Kill of House DoubleCross
Dong DangleTaint of House Glands
And last but not least, Merry Half-Man a.k.a. Jingles the Fool a.k.a Dwarf Jingles
All of whom, it hardly bears mentioning, should be written into the script for "Game of Thrones" Season 5 immediately.

Liberec 2-4 Marseille
Live football odds with bet365. Bet Now »
Marseille progressed to the last 32 of the Europa League after repelling a late flourish from Slovan Liberec to triumph 4-2 in the Czech Republic.
The French side looked home and dry when they led 3-0 early in the second-half following goals by Michy Batshuayi, Georges-Kevin N'Koudou and Abdelaziz Barrada.
But Liberec, who had to win in pursuit of qualification from Group F, fought back with two goals in a minute as Marek Bakos netted a 74th-minute penalty, before Josef Sural added a second barely...

AUSTIN - Last spring, falling attendance forced the Allison schools into a difficult decision. Allison voted to shut its doors and combine nearby Wheeler County rival communities Mobeetie and Briscoe in the unified Fort Elliott school system.
The addition of Allison has turned into a boon for Fort Elliott as four former Lady Antelopes have helped the school to the first basketball state tournament appearance in history.
Fort Elliott (32-1) plays Fayetteville (30-5) in the Class 1A Division II state championship game at 8:30 a.m. today in Austin's Erwin Center.
Fort Elliott opened its doors in 1992 when Briscoe and Mobeetie combined schools. Allison is about 10 miles east of Briscoe. Mobeetie is about 10 miles west of Briscoe.
"For a lot of years, Allison and Fort Elliott didn't care much for each other," Fort Elliott coach Curtis Smith said. "But this has really helped bring the communities together. It's nice to see so many people who used to wear blue and white for Allison come out wearing Fort Elliott's red and black. It's a tribute to the communities of Mobeetie, Allison and Briscoe that we can come together like this."
Fort Elliott gained 23 students from Allison, pushing its total kindergarten through 12th grade enrollment to about 150. The high school has 38 students, up about 10 from last year. The 23 students from Allison includes Katie Donaldson, Fort Elliott's leading scorer and rebounder at 19 points and 12 boards a game.
Allison's last enrollment report for the University Interscholastic League's redistricting listed 43 students.
"It was hard at first," Donaldson said, "but some of us were friends before and we kind of came together. The first day of practice was weird because we'd always competed against each other. But we came together really fast. We all wanted to go to state."
Fort Elliott's girls basketball program faced more changes than just the addition of four varsity players from Allison. Smith stepped in as a late replacement for the girls program. Smith is now the only coach in the school system and has directed the girls and boys athletic programs all season.
"I was so excited when Coach Smith took over," Fort Elliott guard Tamara Hefley said. "He's been here for a long time and I've always wanted to play for him. Until he took over, I'd never heard a pep talk. Nobody gives a pep talk like Coach Smith. He really knows how to get you fired up."
Smith brought in different offensive and defensive systems so the Fort Elliott and Allison girls needed to learn something new. Fort Elliott now runs a motion offense and a pressing man-to-man defense. To accommodate a practice schedule, Smith started workouts at 6 a.m. on Monday and Tuesday this week.
"We were always big rivals before. But last year we played summer league together and we got to know each other," Hefley said. "We're such a small school that we all have the same classes and we kind of got thrown together and had to get along.
"We knew we were going to have to play together and that this year we had more talent than we'd ever had before here. Hedley just barely beat us last year and we didn't have the Allison girls. Having them just makes us stronger."
Fort Elliott has become a familiar face in the playoffs, forging a 32-1 record and knocking off two No.-1 ranked teams on the way to Austin. Allison was an also-ran in recent years.
"It doesn't seem real," Donaldson said. "The Fort Elliott girls played Hedley last year and they just barely beat them. We Allison girls were just excited to get out of district. This is pretty cool. From the first day we all talked about going to state. We knew we had the chance."

The rather vague term "benign granuloma of the intestine" included in the past a variety of chronic inflammatory lesions which, while resembling grossly new formations, were neither neoplastic nor due to any specific organism. The exhaustive review of literature by Tietze1 in 1920 and later reports by Moschcowitz and Wilensky2 and by Mock3 served to revive interest in the subject without, however, contributing new concepts. In 1932 Crohn4 and his associates presented for consideration a definite pathologic and clinical entity which they term "regional ileitis." This new concept was based on a clinical study of fourteen cases and a study of pathologic alterations seen in thirteen resected specimens. The lesion described involved the last 25 to 35 centimeters of the ileum, terminating abruptly at the ileocecal valve. The involved segment is greatly thickened, heavy and reddened. The lumen of the bowel is irregularly distorted and narrowed.

Hi Everyone,
Our dd 8 (3rd grade) was recently given the dx of Social Anxiety. It's not a surprise we had another evaluation before and she takes anxiety medication. Along with that she has Sensory Processing Disorder.
I had no idea though that anxiety could cause such a great impact. We always felt her SPD was the major issue. The therapist thinks the anxiety is the bigger issue.
So we are looking at CBT and social skills group for her.
Can anyone recommend books for her or parents?
Also, if anyone is in the Indianapolis area we are considering moving there to be closer to family. I'll be looking at schools, therapists etc.
Thanks for the help.

Thread: Burberry Beauty
July 12th, 2010, 06:54 PM #1
Burberry Beauty
I'm really interested in Burberry's new beauty line!
I know it's just starting to roll-out now in very limited locations, but has anyone tried anything yet? I love the packaging, and can't wait to get my hands on some!
I think I'm the most interested in the lip products (lip junkie), but will probably also give a blush and eyeshadow a try down the line.
So, any thoughts? First impressions? Lemmings?NW15/20 | Dark Brown Hair | Green Eyes | Team CHANEL | *Highlighter Hussy* | Team Insomnia

Gah, sometimes I feel like brands depend on their trade marks too often. It's inspired by tartan? Really? Good grief just a little bit of originality please! But of course i'll be first in line to pick up that cute plaid engraved lipstick! :P

Re: Burberry Beauty
Meh. Granted I haven't seen anything in person, only pictures, but the line looks incredibly uninspired. Those prices for a neutral, matte eye shadow? Seriously? It's laughable. Now they may have great face products, but I won't be wearing any of them because the color range is very limited.
I think luxury lines like Giorgio Armani and Guerlain make great, unique products that you don't mind splurging on. But I was lost in a sea of beige when I looked through that collection.

Re: Burberry Beauty
For reference I'm NC45 Brown hair/eyes, West Indian
Okay so here it goes:
I stopped by Holts today to pick something up from Chanel when I spotted the Burberry counter and immediately made a beeline towards it. I was surprised because I thought they were coming out later.
They have a nice selection of eyeshadows in person but I think many are dupable. One I was looking at reminded me of Tilt by MAC. I didn't swatch any because I knew I wasn't going to buy any so I can't tell you about the consistency nor the pigmentation.
I was on a hunt for lip products and so we tried a few lipglosses and lipsticks. As opposed to what other's have said I like the colour selection. I think it'll suit many different skin tones and they make nice combos. Nothing is completely unique but they don't really have to be right?
I like the glosses- they are somewhat sheer and pigmented. They are exactly what I expect when I pay $35.00. MAC's are far more sticky/frosty and Dior's lack pigmentation. I tried a couple on, unfortunately I don't remember the name of the one I liked but it was a coral but definitely brownish. I recommend this one for all skin tones as it was very wearable and will work with many lipsticks.
On to the lipsticks. I tried 2 one went well with the lipstick and I think it was a pinkish one..I really have NO idea. The second was No.20 Hibiscus. It truly is the colour I associate with that flower. In the store it looked more of a plummy pink but in my house's flourescent lights it looks more red. I think that outside the sunlight will pick up the pink, I just need to find a complimentary gloss. I'm kind of feeling an inner angst because I have a couple of these colours and I think that people won't be able to tell the difference among them. But they're the only ones I can justify spending over $30 on and this one is light enough for summer. If you have ever tried Givenchy lip product I think they share formulas. The scent is the exact same as is the texture. I think they are slightly drying but I like that because when they don't bleed, and they fade evenly as a stain.
In the store the testers were small so I thought that they'd just had a lot of customers using them. I got home opened mine up and actually dropped my jaw at how small it was. 3.8g compared to MACs 3g I think what you'll find is that you need a lot less of this product for it to show, it's very condensed and that the packing is a lot heavier (is that included in weight?) The container is kind of huge but I like it. The side with the most plaid faces the Burberry sign and because it's mirrored the designs fades in and out. You cannot use it as a mirror though. It has a magnetic close which automatically adjusts itself. But the product looks VERY small now that I examine it, so careful you don't break it. I might not repurchase just because of how little product there is. Reminds me of when I was little and got samples when my mom went to Fashion Fair. :S
I've never owned a YSL lippie but while I was in the store I tried some on. I would say the YSL are superior in scent and texture but I couldn't find a colour that convinced me. Mind you I was looking at baby pinks that I know won't work on my skin tone and I think the part of my brain thinking about my wallet and was hoping I would fail in finding a lovely colour. I will say that they Burberry lipsticks are nice as a novelty, I might get one or two more but definitely not the best in the industry. I will go back for the gloss I tried.
On a side note: My MUA was so sweet and even though they close at 7 she kept me 5 minutes while I made up my mind. When I told her I was going to my Spanish class after this she started conversing with me in Spanish. She's from Ecuador! She said that I was a pleasure and I think that she truly meant it, I will definitely buy more just because of how great she was. As a teenager I know it's tough to sell to us because you never know if we're actually going to buy, so when I find associates who are gracious no matter what I hold them in VERY high esteem. It's something super important to me.

Re: Burberry Beauty
I'm so happy to see this thread!!
I bought:
Tea Rose #11
Pale Rose #12
Trench #2
Rose Blush #3
For some bizarre reason, I'm a sucker for pink shadows.... The Tea Rose eyeshadow is by far my favorite of what I ordered - it's a beautiful warm pink with a slight hint of shimmer - it's probably dupable but I can't think of a color in my (vast) collection that it is close to....
Pale Rose is an irridescent (which surprised me) pale pink color - it reminds me of something but I can't quite put my finger on what.....it's pretty, but I don't know if it's something I would wear often.
Trench is exactly what it sounds like - a pale beige. To me, boring, and it will probably go back. It really does look just like the trench coat color () but I was hoping it would be deeper in tone.
The blush is a pretty vivid rose color with very subtle shimmer - again, not sure I'm going to keep this.
I will post swatches soon -
The packaging is beautiful. Very heavy, so not something you want to bring with you on vacation cuz you'll go over the weight limit with about 2 products.
I didn't get any lip products, as I want to swatch them first for color/texture - I'm not sure if my Nordie's is going to get the line, but I'm pretty sure the Nordie's in Natick, MA will so I'll hopefully get there soon to check them out. On the other hand, it's probably best to stay in the dark!NW20/25 | Dark Brown | Hazel

Re: Burberry Beauty
I decided to use these new products today to see what I think - the shadows are very soft, but the color payoff for me really isn't there. Here is the look, and the swatches of the products........
L-R: Tea Rose, Trench , Pale Rose
Bottom: Rose blush
For the look:
Eyes: Pale Rose, Tea Rose, MAC Charcoal Brown (crease), Trench (above crease ), Chanel Cassis liner
Cheeks: Burberry Light Glow Rose
Lips: Chanel Legende RC, MAC Easy Lounger l/g
Of the products, I like the blush the best.....the eye shadows are really - I'm pretty sure I'll be returning them. If I keep one, it's the Pale Rose (despite my initial excitement over Tea Rose, which ends up also being a snoozer for me). Trench is (on me) a dead-on dupe of MAC Brule. I really only use Brule as a blending color, or on my brow bone, so I don't need 2, especially when one of them is $29!
Overall, I'm really disappointed in this line. Of course, I had high expectations given the brand. Of high-end beauty, I'll be sticking with Chanel and Dior (on occasion).NW20/25 | Dark Brown | Hazel

Thank you! I hope you like the lipstick - it isn't that I don't like these products, I just don't think they're worth the expense when I can get the same result with others that I have (the Chanel Demure quad comes to mind) -

How funny Elegant -- I thought "the lips are rockin'" and then I saw Cheryl was wearing Chanel's Legende! I guess nothing will replace Chanel!
You look very pretty Cheryl -- love the lips. I guess I need to get Legende (can't buy anything until next month) -- when I got that little sample pack I loved it!!

Edit: Well my lipstick came and I'm returning it unused (the only way Burberry will accept returns) because it is SO heavily scented. I got a little apprehensive when I read a MUA review this morning complaining about the scent and was hoping I'd feel differently but nope. The MUAer said the glosses are the same so I guess that's about it for me with this brand.MAC N/NC10-15

Re: Burberry Beauty
I returned all of my Burberry items to Nordies today - good riddance!! As Her Greyness said - it's remarkable that a 'new' brand comes in at such a high price point. I remember when Calvin Klein launched his makeup line several years ago - it didn't stick around long, and then he re-launched it - I don't know if THAT one is even still kicking.
Burberry is totally trading on their brand - I suspect the line won't be around for the long haul. If people are going to spend big bucks, they're going to go to Chanel, Chantecaille, Dior, etc. Lots of luxury brands to choose from that actually have products that back up the price.
I also found out that Shu Uemura is leaving the US, and consequently Nordies - if anyone on this thread likes Shu, now is the time to get it. Apparently it is still going to be available online though, but who knows for how long.NW20/25 | Dark Brown | Hazel

Re: Burberry Beauty
I was doing some reading on MUA and several people are really liking what they've tried and don't find the scent as bad as I (and the other MUAer) did. It'll be interesting to see how the line does. I also read that in the UK Burberry gets a pretty bad rap these days:

Re: Burberry Beauty
I've actually read quite a few positive reviews on different products from the line from sources I usually agree with. I think I'll have to check things out myself and see how I feel.
The strongly scented lip stuff really turns me off, but I suppose I can air them out if I'm totally crazy about the formula. From swatches I've seen, some of the shades are very "me" and calling my name. Will they be worth the price compared to my Chanel favorites? No idea, but I have to try them out and see!NW15/20 | Dark Brown Hair | Green Eyes | Team CHANEL | *Highlighter Hussy* | Team Insomnia

Thank you - I decided to return it because it really just wasn't 'unique' enough to keep, at that price. I liked the way it looked too, but I would rather have a Chanel blush for the same price........
I guess it's about what you're comfortable with - I've gotten used to pigmented shadows from MAC, MUFE, Chanel....they've spoiled me. These were very soft, as I said before, but I got a ton of fallout from them, and I just couldn't justify the cost based on the end result: something I can get from other brands.
I have been tempted to try a couple of the lipsticks because I think the colors are 'me' too ( Meg) but I'm not too keen on strong smell. I think I will have to see them in person to decide.NW20/25 | Dark Brown | Hazel

Re: Burberry Beauty
Cheryl - is there any makeup that does not look gorgeous on you? you look beautiful
I was asked if I was interested in trying the Burberry line long ago and I declined -- I have enough work with some great European companies.. but, my main reason was that the price points on this product was way too high -- higher than Chanel in some cases. A cosmetic line cannot make it on the designer's name alone -- it needs great products at good prices and this one was just not there for me. I did swatch some ES on Friday, and found them to be chalky and the colors very very blah.
As for Shu -- yes, they will only be selling online in the US (their service is absolutely a nightmare!) and in their far east stores. The color selection online is growing increasingly limited -- I wear the Face Architect foundation, and my color has been "out of stock" for the last two months... so, I am going to rely more on my Cle de Peau Satine (I was too cheap to wear this one on a daily basis but with life beating me up recently, I might as well have great glowing skin). As for CK -- it is gone too...

The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) on Friday said in a report that immigration into Britain from Romania and Bulgaria is likely to have only modest impacts on the country's public services.
The FCO report came ahead of a planned lifting of immigration restrictions on migrants into Britain from the two of the European Union's (EU) newest member countries.
"Our research suggests that there will not be a major impact on services of any further migration from Romania and Bulgaria once restrictions have lifted," said Heather Rolfe, one of the authors of the report from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research NIESR.
"The main reason for that is that migrants are young and healthy and often come without families, and make few demands on services," she told Xinhua on Thursday evening.
Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007. However, Britain and other older EU nations have instituted temporary restrictions on citizens of those two countries until the end of 2013 due to fears that large numbers of migrants would move to Britain seeking work and claiming social benefits.
Immigration has become a serious issue in British politics as the country has seen significant growth in immigration since 1993, which coincided with a period of prolonged economic growth until 2008.
In 2011, 12.3 percent of the British population, or 7 million people, were foreign-born, compared to 7 percent in 1993. Statistics by the Center for Migration, Policy and Society at Oxford University also showed that foreign-born people made up 42 percent of the population of inner London in 2011.
A statement from NIESR, which published the report, said no estimates of the numbers of Bulgarian and Romanian migrants had been produced as future migration is highly dependent on economic, political and social factors in Bulgaria, Romania, Britain, Europe and beyond.
The NIESR report pointed out that future migration was unlikely to have a significant impact on health or the welfare system. However it warned that migrants' use of the education system could put pressure on primary schools in areas with fewer spare school places.
"A widespread public perception persists that migrants pose a disproportionate burden on the social housing market, yet evidence to date does not substantiate this," the report read.
Impact on housing was more likely to be felt in the private rented sector, the report added, but that would be variable and was affected by local housing supplies.

too horrible to even contemplate
between the death squads in iraq and wanton mass murders and this - the suffering is acute
Dan, I TOTALLY agree. There are a MILLION reasons why YOU should not be allowed to parent a lost sock, let alone a human being, but NONE of them have anything to do with you being gay.
"Kinda fucked up" is a good description Dan's logic here.
It is entirely possible to imagine a world where: (1) Gay parents are statistically more likely to harm their children than straight parents and (2) Harmed children are statistically more likely to have straight than gay parents. I do not claim that we live in a world in which (1) is true, but Dan's pseduo-evidence for (2) is not even pseduo-evidence against (1).
Dan, just admit these stories don't constitute evidence for or against anything. You are just running an emotional blackmail campaign against your readers: "I'll keep publishing these ugly stories until you guys stop people from saying mean things about gay parents."
Dan - you are a media whore/hack. Often of the worst sort.
Such a horror has no direct point except to underscore how it IS possible for humans to treat each other with abject cruelty.
Neither gay nor straight, male or female..... but a vivid example of
the darkest recesses of the human potential to wreck pain and suffering on others and themselves.
You are trying to put yourself front and center, somehow. That is crass and manipulative. This has nothing to do with you Dan, nothing, except to tell the truth that the worst can and does happen.
Pray to some God or Goddess, take a deep breath, and curse the darkness.
And vow to do all you can given a chance to protect any child from such a horror.
Dan Savage is a terrible person. Let's keep reading his blog and making comments. The increased traffic will show him.
Dan--preaching to the choir, baby, for months now!
C'mon, guys. I thought media-obsessed kooks were supposed to present more compelling arguments, something much better than "THAT DOESN'T PROVE ANYTHING!" because I kinda think that was the FUCKING POINT.
Microwaves are terrible for cooking babies. They never brown properly.
Re comment 8
That's why you should only put brown babies in the microwave.
"You know, Mrs. Buckman, you need a license to buy a dog, to drive a car - hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any butt-reaming asshole be a father."
- Keanu Reeves, Parenthood
Keep making this comparison Dan (and Pam) and everyone else that has a platform and audience and/or a voice.
You are right.
I don't care how many times you have to point it - until the double standard is destroyed, LGBT people are held to a higher moral standard than the least common denominator from the non-LGBT population.
That needs to be exposed and you are doing it. Do you think this argument is offensive? Tough shit.
Chew harder.
I'll say it only once. The aversion to gay parents has to do with sexphobia first and homophobia second. America loves the idea of asexual parents. Straight people can be considered asexual because they have written permission from God to have sex to reproduce — and we can safely assume that is the ONLY time they have sex. Gay people have dirty, filthy, kinky, sicko sex for no good reason – and if they're parents, they have dirty, filthy, kinky, sicko sex under the same roof as children! I think Mr. Savage (who never prints my letters by the way) would do best to abandon this tactic of pointing his finger has isolated cases of horrific child abuse perpetrated by obviously unwell individuals. The mother is this horrific story was possibly suffering from postpartum psychosis – MONTH-OLD baby could be a clue. And since an argument that all parents should be gay men because gay men can't go postpartum whacko is not likely to fly, he should just stick to what he does best: pointing out that straight people, even those with children, do indeed have active sex lives, and some of 'em pretty darn twisted. I would suggest he tell his readers that he won't answer their letters about their kinky sex issues unless they first say how many children they have and how old they are.
microwave baby: better than organic butternut squash....
That's why you should only put brown babies in the microwave.
Hey -- whoa. I didn't write that. There are two Phils around here? I've commented lots on Driscoll, drug policy, design review, deputies, and lots of other things, but I have nothing to say about brown babies or browned babies.
Hey, Phil: What are we going to do about this?
Hey, The Stranger, when are you going to implement this login thing?
@First Phil -
Sorry! I'm not a regular reader, didn't know you were there. Nick changed.
No need to apologize. I certainly don't stake any exclusive claim on the name "Phil".
Reliable sources tell me there are Slog upgrades in the works that should take care of this sort of thing.

text: Since Deborah Lloyd joined Kate Spade as creative director and co-president a year ago, speculation has abounded about the accessories brand diving into apparel. Now there's a timeline. Spring is the first full season with Lloyd's stamp on the line, and the spring collection has more apparel than ever before, Lloyd said. But for spring, the clothes will sell only in Kate Spade's own stores, which will serve as a test lab for fit. As early as fall 2009, Kate Spade may start wholesaling the apparel — in more than capsule collections but less than full collections — to other retailers, which include Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's and Nordstrom, according to, the $90 million brand's co-president and chief operating officer. If not for fall '09, the apparel will definitely wholesale by spring 2010, said Leavitt. The launch comes at a time when retailers are looking to update what once were called bridge floors with personality and pattern-focused lines like Tory Burch and M Missoni, which have similar price points to the Kate Spade apparel offerings.

Cancer Health Center
Survivors of Childhood Cancer at Higher Risk of Another Cancer
March 27, 2001 (New Orleans) -- As treatments for childhood cancers improve and cancer survivors live longer, there is mounting evidence that people who survived a childhood cancer may be at increased risk of developing another cancer later on. These second incidences of cancer do not seem to be directly related to the first cancer but rather are linked to the treatment initially received, according to a large North American study.
"The leading disease cause of death [in children in the U.S.] far and away is cancer," said expert Barton A. Kamen, MD, PhD, during a press conference Tuesday at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research held here.
Kamen, an American Cancer Society clinical research professor at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Cancer Institute of New Jersey, was not involved in the study but commented on its findings. "Fortunately, [cancer is still] a relatively rare disease. ... There are about 8,000 to 10,000 new diagnoses of cancer in kids in the U.S. every year. ... Kids get leukemia [most often,] and the remarkable cure rate in leukemia is such that in our last 15 years, 90% of the children I've personally taken care of -- which is almost 400 -- are still alive, and 80% of them are free of disease."
That's the good news.
The bad news is that as more and more children survive cancer and live into adulthood, long-term consequences of the cancer therapy they received are sometimes rearing their ugly heads.
Researcher Joseph P. Neglia, MD, PhD, said at the press conference that "as of this year, we're projecting that approximately 70% of all children diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. will be cured of their disease. ... Because of this, it's the responsibility of clinicians and investigators to understand the long-term consequences of this curative therapy in children."
He added that approximately one in 1,000 people in the U.S. between the ages of 20 and 30 is a survivor of childhood cancer. Neglia is an associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Minnesota Medical School in Minneapolis.

Interagency Food Safety Analytics Collaboration (IFSAC)
To enhance the safety of our food, three federal agencies—the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)--teamed up in 2011 to create the Interagency Food Safety Analytics Collaboration (IFSAC).
The goal of this collaboration is to improve coordination of federal food safety analytic efforts and address cross-cutting priorities for food safety data collection, analysis, and use. Projects and studies aim to identify foods that are important sources of illnesses. The current focus of IFSAC's activities is foodborne illness source attribution, defined as the process of estimating the most common food sources responsible for specific foodborne illnesses.
This website provides background information on IFSAC, attribution, and projects. Learn more…

The driving force behind a weight loss journey may start out with the deep desire to feel better about your reflection in the mirror. When you begin to devote yourself to exercise and switch to eating health food, it can make all the difference in how you see yourself and while looking better is an amazing perk of weight loss, it is not the most impressive perk by far. These eight endlessly beneficial perks are more than enough reason to commit to losing the weight and keeping it off.
Improved Mental Health
The many health benefits of losing a little weight are as vast as the sea but one thing you will notice right away, even before weight loss begins, is that exercise improves your mood. When you workout, your body naturally begins to release endorphins, a feel good hormone that reduces stress and increases feelings of happiness. Overall, science has already proven that those who exercise as part of a healthy lifestyle have vastly lower rates of depression. This may be, in part, due to the fact that endorphins are so closely related to serotonin, a chemical you will find both naturally in the brain and manufactured in antidepressants.
Pain Relief
Another benefit of the endorphins released during exercise is that these little wonders are nature's own pain relievers. Endorphins have an analgesic affect and work to reduce pain from the inside out. This is one reason many doctors recommend exercise to ward off painful menstrual periods and for some people, even prevent migraines. Aside from endorphins, weight reduction itself is also a natural pain reliever as losing weight can lessen stress on joints and reduce impact upon walking. Many people find back pain and feet pain are rendered nonexistent by simply losing a few pounds and keeping the weight off.
Increase in Good Cholesterol
Thankfully, medicine has gotten very good at lowering the bad kind of cholesterol with prescription medications. However, that is not the case with good cholesterol that can significantly reduce your risk for developing heart disease later in life. Science shows that just a 5 percent decrease in your current weight can up your good cholesterol by a whopping 5 point elevation. While that may not seem like much, doctors agree it is quite impressive.
Lower Triglycerides
Triglycerides are fatty particles in the bloodstream that are harmful in large amounts and while everyone has them, some have them at unhealthy levels. Reducing weight, even in seemingly minuscule amounts can lower your reading by 40 points and greatly reduce your risk of stroke and heart attack in the future.
Reduction of Inflammation
Inflammation is a marker for many health conditions, some common and some not so common. Fat cells can produce certain kinds of inflammation and inflammation, in turn, can lead to clots and stroke. Decreasing your weight can reduce inflammation and prevent damage to your vascular system.
Decrease in Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea occurs when someone does not get enough oxygen while sleeping due to extended pauses in their breathing pattern. A CPAP machine can help those with sleep apnea breathe easier but weight loss can help sufferers to slowly depend on the machine less and less. While this may seem like a small feat, those who rely on a CPAP machine describe it as a real nuisance and well worth a little work to toss out the window.
Diabetes Reduction
While not everyone who loses weight will be able to reverse their diabetes all together, some can and have. Even for those who are left with residual diabetes or those whose condition is severe, weight loss can greatly improve health and help to control blood sugar levels. In some instances, losing just a few pounds alone can do the work of a prescription diabetes medication.
Decrease in Hypertension
30 percent of all high blood pressure suffers are diagnosed because their weight is the only contributing factor. Beta blockers can be hard on your kidneys, thus many doctors ask patients to work diligently to lose the weight which will reduce blood pressure readings to manageable levels. Often times, weight loss, diet and a good exercise routine will cure high blood pressure without ever requiring medications.
The health benefits of weight loss are far too numerous to list. From the way you look to the way you feel, losing the extra weight can give you the energy you never knew you had to do the things you always wanted to do… Like biking with your son, going on that long trip with your spouse or just getting up in the morning to greet a brand new day of possibilities. From renewed energy to relief from serious health conditions, shedding the pounds can help you also shed a negative prognosis. When you take time to care about yourself and your health, your body will show its gratitude by helping you to feel better and, most important of all… live longer.

Hey hopefully someone can help me.
When I first installed WP 2.7 my dashboard was all f'd up, like just a white page with block text in a column and lines going through stuff; re-loaded the wp-admin file a couple times. My dashboard looks fairly normal now minus 2 things... I can't move the modules around and when I add new/edit a post there is no "tool bar" above the "body text" box for like adding media/images and such. It's just blank.
Anybody know whats goin on??? Am I just doing something wrong?

Love can act as a healing agent as a recent study by U.S. researchers, published online in the journal PLoS ONE states that love is effective in reducing chronic pain.
Just add more green leafy vegetables to your diet, and reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes. This is what a novel study suggests after an analysis of six studies that explored the link between fruit and vegetable consumption and Type 2, or adult-onset, diabetes.

Make-up lines
I walk around the mall and all I see if teenaged girls with a make-up line at the jaw. It looks so awful. Either blend it under your chin or wear make-up your color.
Anyone else bugged by this?
*puts hand up* Especially a fake tan line; urgh, it just looks as tho they're wearing a mask.
It's friggen annoying especially when you're in class watching them give a presentation. -.- You can't help but stare!
I also dislike when someone uses personaly tanning cream and forget a whole stroke or they stop at a certain spot on their neck so that the back is lighter. Just bugs me people trying to be fake.
Only time I ever used tanning anything was this body lotion; I had dry skin on my legs, and I had no idea it was tanning. O_o My legs did get a bit darker though, and they still are. Not orange though, thank goodness. XD My legs were really pale before (they don't even BURN.), so I'm not complaining.
I found tanning lotion in my cabinet and I tried it on the top of my hand. It turned my hand orange!. Ugh the wost part is i stoped at my arm and at my knuckles so it looked hideous.
Later that day I found out will was really old and was forgotten about.
If you use too much, or if it's old (or both!), yeah, it will turn you orange. XD I used it maybe 3 times over one week, and my legs are still a little darker than they used to be.
They're getting pale again though. Poo. XD
lol. It should be permanent. Well, that is if it goes on nice. If not then it should come of right away instead of having to live with it for like 2 weeks. :eek:
Also I find that now-a-days stores are selling 'thincker' tanning cream and most people think that it would dry faster, and it won't be goopy.
A lady at my weekend volunteer thaught that but boy was she wrong.
It actually doesn't spread as nicely so it leaves disgusting streaks.
It Does Not Really Bother Me All That Much.
My friend wears hers like that. It doesn't really bug me. She still looks pretty.

Talk:Digital image processing
|WikiProject Robotics
|(Rated Start-class, High-importance)
Merge with Image Processing?[edit]
I don't think so. That page has a much broader scope, with optical, analog, etc. Let's keep them separate. Dicklyon 04:07, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
- I agree. Merge tag removed. --Jiuguang (talk) 19:38, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
- I placed the merge tag there, as I think the separation of methodology from the objective is somewhat arbitrary. This article could use a little bit of expansion and prose, I think being able to start a sensible discourse on the whole kit would be good. User A1 (talk) 02:31, 26 July 2008 (UTC)
Image processing vs. editing[edit]
Dear Wikipedians, This page is a far cry of what I would expect when I searched for "Digital image processing" I expected to see prose describing how popular image editing programs were used as a virtual digital darkroom. I do my digital image processing to improve composition, crop out extranious areas, remove noise, correct brightness, improve contrast, correct alignment, add dramatic effects, etc. You get the picture.
I would like to flesh out this article, but all of the above does not fit well with what is already there. I edited the page to add one paragraph. Please let me here your views. Phil 22:28, September 7, 2005 (UTC)
I think the digital image editing has more of the information you expected to see. Is there some way of clarifying that this digital image processing article is full of boring theory :-), that people really should click over to digital image editing to get the practical information on how to make their digital photos look better? --DavidCary 23:53, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
- Is there any difference between processing and editing? If not, a merge and redirect is in order. Alf melmac 00:29, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
Yes, there's a BIG difference. People who does image editing are artists, photographers, or merely hobbysts. They use software (like Photoshop) to perform many tasks, as Phil pointed out. However, there are some other people, mainly engineers, mathematicians, and computer-scientists, who design the algorithms that perform those tasks. Put in other words, image editors USE PhotoShop's features, while image processing guys design those features. So, i doesn't make sense to merge these articles, there are very different tasks, although their names are a bit confussing. --Juan 06:11, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
Removed External Links[edit]
These seem to be reasonable sources, but a long list of external links is an invitation to linkspam. Can these be turned into inline references instead?
- VIPBase: A collection of utilities for Video and Image Processing
- Image Processing forum (image coding, compression, digital effects, mpeg, etc)
- GRAIL, the Graphics and Imaging Laboratory of the University of Washington
- Virginia Image and Video Analysis group
- Advanced Imaging Laboratory of the University of Victoria
- FILTERS : a free open source image processing library
- BSD Licensed C++\C# Image Filters
Thanks. Jehochman (Talk/Contrib) 05:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
I would delete the lot. --Adoniscik(t, c) 19:27, 25 July 2008 (UTC)
Bad sentence[edit]
Is this sentence OK?! "Images taken by popular digital cameras often need processing to improve their quality, a distinct advantage digital cameras have over film cameras."
- No, it's not OK. I rewrote that bit, and I hope you like it better. Dicklyon 04:07, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
Link appropriate?[edit]
Is this link appropriate (link-owner) or is it considered commercial: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pvosta/pcrimg.htm
- I removed it because you linked your own stuff, and it leads to info about your CV and consulting; and that host sometimes gives me popup ads. The only time you should link your own stuff is for copies of things that have already been vetted, e.g. via peer review, such as copies of your published articles that you have a right to distribute personally but are otherwise copyrighted. See WP:NOR#Citing_oneself, WP:EL, WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_mirror_or_a_repository_of_links,_images,_or_media_files and m:When_should_I_link_externally. Dicklyon 15:13, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- Thank you once again for the information, I am learning to be a decent Wikipedian. I apologize for my misconduct and the inconvenience caused by my behavior. The "popup-ads" are Google adds, I did not know this was considered inappropriate? All references to "personal identification" or "professional information", when linking from a page such as "digital imaging", should be removed from personal webpages linked to from Wikipedia? What about personal information and links on the "user" page at Wikipedia, is it forbidden to mention your professional occupation, is this considered inappropriate? No link or reference to professional information is allowed according to Wikipedia guidelines?Pvosta 11:55, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
- The rules and guidelines may not address such things explicitly, but the general concept of vanity and self promotion is discussed in various places. I'm just saying what I think will make your suggested pages more acceptable to other editors. To me, pages that involve popup ads are a definite non-starter. Dicklyon 17:14, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Chunawalla's additions[edit]
On Aug. 20 2007, User:Chunawalla doubled the size of the article, adding tons of non-wikified and non-referenced text, three really bad JPEG images of diagrams, of unspecified origin, and a viewpoint that may be too narrow. I think I'll revert it all for now and proposed this advice: Chunawalla, please work on the article more incrementally. Fit your material in, using wiki links to connect with what we have already. Certainly do specify your sources; ask here if you need help structuring references. If the figures are from you, please render them to PNG or SVG or some thing that treats them better. If they're not yours, say where they're from and whether you really do own the copyright. Dicklyon 18:16, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
My Additions[edit]
Would like to restructure the article. Have got a lot of material on Digital Image Processing. I have made a number of slideshows. Please do read my content and suggest appropriate changes. I will be adding information to the links(See also) section as well.. Please do not mind me changing the see also section, as I felt these links would fall in line with the above treatment of Digital Image Processing. Thank you, once again... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chunawalla (talk • contribs).
- The most important thing about your new material is to get good references. The list of refs that we have now is worthless, since they are not tied by footnotes to statements that they support. If you're going to add new material, I would insist that you not make the problem worse by having even more unsourced material. Please put refernences on anything you add, or tell me your sources if you want my help doing so. Otherwise, I will feel the unsourced material will need to be removed.

- And your images are now much worse, as small PNGs, hardly readable. Why did you make them smaller, instead of larger? You can use the "thumb" attribute to place small versions and have the big ones still accessible. Dicklyon 18:37, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Working on list of references. I don't get it how to use the thumb attribute. Could you please help me out in the same.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Chunawalla (talk • contribs) 01:47, August 22, 2007 (UTC).
- OK, I did a thumb example. I used the bigger JPEG, which is pretty awful because it was rendered with lots of aliasing from something else. How did you make it? Can you make a simpler one instead without all the distractions? Dicklyon 04:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
- And please fix the headings to proper case, not capitals; see other articles or the previous state of this article for examples. Dicklyon 04:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Removed again[edit]
I have reverted Chunawalla's additions for a second time. I appreciate the effort expended, but the material doesn't constitute a net improvement to this article. The material added included an abstruse mathematical definition of what an image is and an excruciatingly difficult-to-understand graph. Chunawalla also removed all of the external links, the navbox, categories and interwikis and replaced the see also section with a set of redlinks.
This article could still benefit from a bit of science (although I'm unsure what the proper scope of this article should be), but anything added should contain necessary context for ease of reading, and should be referenced, preferably to one of the dead-tree sources listed in the Refs section. — mholland (talk) 18:09, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
- I agree. I think that if he wants to contribute, he can start with a definition via a sentence such as "An image is sometimes mathematically defined as ..." and give a reference. Then we'll see where he's coming from at least. Hopefully he's picking up a bit about wiki editing, too, and won't invest so much effort in large-scale changes that need to be reverted.

Merge some parts of Image processor, Image processing, Digital image processing[edit]
Planed by me for years, but had no time. Tagremover (talk) 20:34, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
What's going on here?[edit]
Guys this page is whack. Why are there two pictures of missing people in the article? It's not very relevant to digital image processing, at least not relevant enough to have two pictures here.
There are a ton of grammar issues in the Applications section, which isn't very helpful to begin with because it doesn't include many links to other articles. The Film section is one line and just mentions Westworld. I hope I'm not offending anyone, but I'm going to remove this whole section unless someone can explain why it's helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 22.214.171.124 (talk) 02:20, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

Seedy Recovery
Long before The Strokes, The White Stripes or The Hives bands currently being hyped as the new triumvirate of torchbearers for the rock 'n' roll legacy were a glimmer in anyone's eye, vocalist Sky Sunlight Saxon was cranking out fuzz-blasted freak-beat psychedelia with his influential band The Seeds. Dubbed "America's own Rolling Stones" by Muddy Waters, The Seeds inspired legions of angst-ridden garage bands with their 1966 debut album.
Now with a new group of musicians led by Saxon, The Seeds have begun to sprout again, playing their original classics for a smattering of West Coast shows and an upcoming European tour. Saxon calls the sort-of reunion an act of God. "It's time for Flower Power to come back," he says. Saxon is entitled to use that late-'60s catch phrase; "Flower Power" was coined by The Seeds around 1967, though it quickly dissolved into a generic media and marketing slogan.
While Saxon says people have always asked him to perform the hits, his decision to return to regularly playing those songs had everything to do with the spirit of the times. "I just felt like the world needs this music right now," he says.
Indeed, Saxon's not the only one with that opinion. The Seeds' trippy garage ballad "Can't Seem to Make You Mine" has been covered by contemporary artists ranging from Billy Childish to Yo La Tengo to Garbage. And "Pushin' Too Hard," likely the band's best-known tune, is a timeless piece of raw pre-punk that appeals to neo-garage rockers with its simplicity and snarling attitude.
"There is a whole new generation of fans," raves Saxon, who's amazed at how familiar people are with The Seeds' music. "Maybe they heard the music in their mothers' wombs."
