Reviews for Bruschetta Chicken
"Made this recipe last evening for dinner. It was delicious! The tomato mixture was delicious. Will definitely make again!"
"So good!! It will be a "do over" in our house. Tastes like restaurant quality!!!"
"Followed the recipe to a T and it turned out shall we say not so good. It looked nothing like the photo which should have been my first clue when I saw what looked like an omelet under the chicken. Usually you do egg then flour so I dont know if this was the problem or if it was suppose to be like this. Too much basil and garlic for 1/4 c of bread crumbs. Wont be trying this one anymore."
"While we made one swap, the bruschetta topping for the chicken was so delicious. The combination of basil, tomato, garlic and cheese is one of our favorites and we adored it on the chicken. We lightened it up by using grilled chicken instead of the breaded. It was VERY, VERY good! We served this with some spaghetti squash and a side salad for a complete, healthy meal."
"Made this for dinner tonight and everyone loved!"
"Made this Tonight, it was really easy and So Delicious!! Gonna have to Double up next time... Everybody Wanted Seconds. Yes a Wonder tomato topping."
"This was a really easy recipe with tons of yum! I added some garlic powder to the flour to ramp up the flavor. The tomato mixture was delicious!"
"My husband and I both loved this, I wouldn't say it's a simple recipe but it is very tasty and uses up tomatoes from the garden it a wonderful way. I did't have fresh basil so substituted 1 tablespoon of dried, very yummy"
"This ones a keeper. I got a lot of praise from the family. Used bruchetta from traders Joe's. Really good"

Hi all,
Is it too late to ask for a more simplified Twentytwelve as a default theme ? I think that Twentytwelve's CSS is too complicated as a default theme.
The CSS part of the theme is way bloated with px fall back just to support text-sizing of old IE which is not a problem because IE already has buildin Zoom (Ctrl+/-/0) The size of CSS is way too big and now it has separated CSS file for old IE too !
I'm not saying that we should giveup IE support, but the px fall back are way too much, think about the performance aspect, why load all this fall back while its benefit is only for very little usecase.
It's better to just use rem without px fallback.

Video? More like "commercial for Sour Patch Kids". Hip-Hop is dead.
Disagree with DJP. I think this is ok. Will be better when watched from the future with a different perspective. It's all about perspective.
Good song, good video, not great script during the intros and outros.
Also, I really like how Meth keeps ODB's name alive with cold metaphor/shoutouts to him in many songs.
Hip-Hip is amazing when it's done right.
By the Mr. Pizzo, you and the team do a great job on this site. Thanks.
I think this is actually an ad for an upcoming iPhone game
sorry this sucks
If you think about it, this song is Real shit. A lot of these cats come into the game "sour" acting hard and wanna thugs and what not. Then they turn sweet like lil bitches and sell out for the radio. Meth has never did any bitch shit. Meth is Hip Hop.

Super easy to use when you turn it over, you can see exactly where the punch will go. I love these scalloped circles for cupcake toppers and tags on flower vases!
This is an excellent item. I bought a Martha Stewart punch with a lever that was very hard to press and it was way more expensive. I returned that and bought this one. Even my 6 year old child can use it. You can turn it upside down and see exactly where to place the shape on a piece of paper. It is hard to find this item in the stores. I tried Michaels, Joanne fabrics, Walmart and some other places but they didn't carry this item in the store. It's best to buy online, preferably from Walmart - a place you can trust with FREE site-to-store shipping. I only use EK Success and American Girl punches. This punch is easy to store by itself or in the display box.
could not find this product in ANY store so was happy to discover i could order the punch thru walmart.com. used the expediated shipping and my package arrived in perfect condition, and on time to get the favors cut for my daughter's baby shower. i am very pleased
I love this product! great to use and exactly what I needed to make my cupcake toppers!
It is difficult to cut a scallop with scissors but this punch solves the problem. I like to embellish cards and scrapbook pages and this helps do the job. Nicely priced and affordable.
EK Success punches are great punches - they are easy to use and don't hurt your hands. I love this punch and would definitely recommend it!
This paper punch works great. Makes a clean cut every time and is a decent size. I recommend!
Delivery was swift, pickup at my local Walmart was stress free.

In case you missed it on the NCR homepage, this commentary by John Gehring and Kim Daniels makes the important case that we Catholics in the U.S. need to focus on what unites us, and start with our Catholicism first, and not let political divisions get in the way of sowing the seeds of the Kingdom. Gehring is a man of the left and Daniels is a woman of the right. It is good to see them working together.

One encouraging thing about the whole battle mode concept, is that at the end of the day, it all comes down to random luck.
Im no pro with Doomsday, and considering the fact that most people get through Impossible by "just" using the muffinstring combo is amazing
The AI is just so random, sometimes they punish you severely for tiny mistakes and at times you can just keep doing the crossover combo like theres no tomorrow
Since I used an even simpler version of the muffinstring, theres no doubt in my mind that I beat it with luck. On the 6 final fights my starting health was about 90% (2nd bar) which was horrible cuz the AI was really hungry for me
You will get it when you least expect it, keep trying, bro and Lady Luck will open a door for you

Is AMA Fearful of Losing Lucrative Source of Revenue?
Unfortunately, the president of the American Medical Association, Dr. James Rohack, in his response ("AMA Is Working With the Senate," Letters, Dec, 28) to the Dec. 21 editorial "Change Nobody Believes In," does not indicate that his support is another unfortunate example of political deal-cutting in the guise of support for the disastrous health reform bill.
Democrats are touting the AMA's endorsement, little has been reported in the media that a large portion of the AMA's income (the exact amount will not be released by the AMA) stems from the exclusive rights to the medical billing codes that doctors are required to use when they submit bills to insurance plans.
These are essentially the same as a bar code, and are used for nearly every medical procedure, from appendectomies to heart transplants. This arrangement results from a once-secret deal established in the 1980s whereby the AMA maintains and updates the codes at no cost to the government, but generates millions each year selling the code books and software licenses to doctors and insurers. This enabled the government to streamline billing procedures for its insurance programs by setting a single code as the standard.
Currently, this agreement is interpreted by many in Congress to be revocable at any time through a simple rule-making process. As the AMA claimed $70 million from sales of "books and products" in 2008 and membership dues raised $44 million for the AMA that year, it is logical to conclude that the AMA is fearful that its lucrative source of revenue would vanish without the current support of the Democratic plans.
Indeed, the revenue the AMA gathers from the payment system continues to be fostered in this bill. It is right to question whether the AMA can represent the interests of doctors while it relies on a large portion of revenue that comes from a government-sanctioned monopoly.
The AMA touts its proof of supporting doctors in that it is working to abolish the 21% Medicare payment cut to physicians scheduled for the coming year. However, we all know this would never take place, as millions would be dropped from the Medicare rolls. This is the reason that currently only 17% to 19% of physicians belong to the AMA, and this number is dropping.
This is also why few state medical societies support the current health-care bills and more than 20 medical societies have publicly opposed them, recognizing the harm that this legislation will do the ability to care for patients as government coverage does not provide creativity, flexibility, or, sometimes, even compassion.

All Rise...
Appellate Judge Mac McEntire can't wait for the Scandinavian remake, Sven 10.
Editor's Note
Our reviews of Ben 10 Alien Force: Volume 1 (published November 5th, 2008), Ben 10 Alien Force: Volume 3 (published April 7th, 2009), Ben 10 Alien Force: Volume 4 (published September 18th, 2009), Ben 10 Alien Force: Volume 5 (published November 20th, 2009), Ben 10 Alien Force: Volume 6 (published March 22nd, 2010), Ben 10 Alien Force: Volume 7 (published June 18th, 2010), Ben 10 Alien Force: Volume 8 (published September 1st, 2010), and Ben 10 Alien Force: Volume 9 (published October 5th, 2010) are also available.
The Charge
Ben: "Has anyone ever told you that you're a strange and dangerous
Opening Statement
The good news: The best TV show of the year, Ben 10 Alien Force, gets a new DVD release. The bad news: There are so few episodes on this disc, it feels like Ben 4.
Facts of the Case
Ben Tennyson (Yuri Lowenthal, Naruto) is an ordinary 15-year-old, except that he wields the Omnitrix, a device that allows him to turn into 10 various super-powered aliens. With the help of his magic-using cousin Gwen (Ashley Johnson, Phenom) and metal-absorbing tough guy Kevin (Teen Titans), Ben uses the Omnitrix to battle evil. Good thing, too, because a sinister alien called the Highbreed and its army of "DNAliens" have a mysterious plot brewing.
This episode list just escaped from the Null Void:
• "Max Out"
• "Pier Pressure"
• "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"
• "The Gauntlet"
The Evidence
Four episodes, Cartoon Network? Really? A measly four episodes? As of this writing, Amazon shows that the Ben 10 season sets, two-disc sets with 13 episodes each, are each only a few bucks more than this disc. I'd hoped that this volume would contain the second half of the first season, concluding with the astonishingly awesome Alien X episode, but it looks like a separately sold volume three will wrap things up upon its release. One of the great things about DVD is that we can enjoy entire seasons of our favorite shows in a single package. Getting Ben 10 Alien Force doled out piecemeal like this is a total disappointment. While I'm complaining, I should also point out that these episodes appear to be out of order. The episode "Be-Knighted" originally aired in between "Pier Pressure" and "What Are Little Girls Made Of?"
Now that the gripes are over, it's time to talk about how superb this cartoon is. The scripts are both exciting and smart, providing a lot of adrenaline-rush alien vs. alien action, but numerous character moments as well. It's to the show's credit that Ben and Kevin sitting bored in Kevin's car or Gwen's heart-to-heart chat with her dad can be just as fun and/or captivating as the big action set pieces. The voice acting is a big help, as the interaction between our three heroes sounds natural, like actual conversations three friends might really have.
That said, no one's going to mistake this show for an animated Dawson's Creek. This is sci-fi/superhero/pulp adventure/comic book craziness in the best possible way. In these episodes, we get creepy looks at the DNAliens in disguise, carnival rides come to life with deadly intent, a being made of pure energy, and a human gradually turning into a giant robot. The basic setting, that aliens are among us and only a select few know about it and can do anything about it, provides a lot of variety to the series, so that you never know where the story is going at any given time. Ben 10 Alien Force keeps viewers on their toes throughout, with a lot of delightful surprises and thrilling action.
The full frame picture on this disc is excellent, making the most of the show's bright, vibrant colors. The audio might only be 2.0, but it's solid, bringing the action to life aurally. The only extra is "DNA of a Scene" a short featurette that recreates a scene using original script notes, storyboards, and the finished product. This was nice, but too short. It would be nice to get a better look at some of that great storyboard art.
The Rebuttal Witnesses
Humongosaur! (Sorry, but the big guy is just so cool that I had to mention him somewhere in this review.)
Closing Statement
If this were any other series, I wouldn't recommend a purchase because of how the season is being chopped up into three separate releases like this. But it's Ben 10 Alien Force, and the show's quality is so strong, it's worth it.
The Verdict
Not guilty. Now bring on Alien X!
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Ben 10 Alien Force: Volume 2 a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

The school's computers are new but outdated and the software is very outdated.
The computers internet are slight slow, but we have great computer teachers, who are pasisonate
There aren't many computers at Ohio Valley University, and with that said, more than half of them are not functional. The internet isn't reliable, is always slow, and is almost always down. Printing is a hassle, as there aren't many public printers, and they're frequently out of ink or paper. A personal computer and printer is highly recommended.
When I first arrived to the campus, I thought that it would be necessary to have a laptop and printer on hand. But that is not the case at the school. There is plenty available in the library and computer lab. I am very impressed with how much the college helps the students to ensure they have computers to work with.

Local cleanup group wins national award
Published: Sunday, December 28, 2003 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, December 27, 2003 at 10:44 p.m.
HOUMA -- Keep Terrebonne Beautiful is one of four state affiliates and one of 100 nationwide to receive the Presidential Circle award from the national organization, according to Troy Liner, a past-president of the local chapter.
"We were singled out with a few others from across the nation," he said. "We were real excited because we didn't know this was coming."
Keep Terrebonne Beautiful received the inaugural award during a conference in Washington, D.C., earlier this month, he said.
"It's a real honor and it's our first time to be recogized by the national organization," Liner said.
Keep America Beautiful is a national nonprofit public-education organization dedicated since 1953 to engaging individuals to take responsibility for improving their local community environment.
Terrebonne's chapter is one of more than 500 town, city, and county affiliates and 22 statewide programs.
Liner said the local chapter, established in 1998, received the award in recognition for its achievements and the amount of community support it has.

Radiation Concern Prompts Aeon to Test Beef for Cesium Level
Concern that nuclear radiation fallout is contaminating meat prompted Aeon Co., owner of Japan's biggest supermarket chain, to start testing beef for cancer-causing substances.
Aeon will start selling beef today in Tokyo stores tested by an independent laboratory to be within safe limits for radioactive cesium, it said in a statement. The heightened surveillance may boost confidence in the safety of beef after agriculture officials said July 26 that 2,906 cattle ate tainted feed, potentially leading to contaminated meat.
Prolonged exposure to radiation in the air, ground and food can cause leukemia and other cancers, according to the London-based World Nuclear Association. Japanese consumers have spurned beef, causing prices to slump, after meat exceeding cesium safety limits was found in supermarkets -- adding to evidence that fallout from Tokyo Electric Power Co.'s crippled Fukushima nuclear plant has entered the food chain.
"No matter what it takes and how much it costs, we have to check all the beef to remove consumer fears," Shohei Murai, an Aeon senior executive, told reporters in Tokyo yesterday.
The retail market in Japan for meat and meat products grew 7 percent in the past decade to 5.9 trillion yen ($76 billion) in 2010, according to London-based Euromonitor International.
Topvalu Beef
The tested Wagyu beef products, sold under Aeon's Topvalu brand, will be stocked in 115 supermarkets in and around Tokyo before being made available nationwide, the retailer said. Topvalu accounts for 60 percent of Aeon's domestic beef products, and the company will ensure its other domestically produced beef is tested after September, said Yasuhide Chikazawa, a corporate officer at Aeon.
"Aeon is a very savvy company," Melanie Brock, the Tokyo-based regional manager for trade group Meat and Livestock Australia, said in a telephone interview today. "Their decision to test all beef, I think, is likely to be the way forward" for other sellers, said Brock, who also chairs the Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Japan.
Nippon Meat Packers Inc., Japan's biggest meat processor, is considering measures around cattle inspections, Kohei Akiyama, a company spokesman, said in a phone interview today.
"We are asking our business partners to test all the beef produced across Japan for cesium, regardless of the region in which it was produced and the kind of cattle it's from, and we have been doing this gradually since July 22," Nagatoshi Nii, a spokesman for Seven & I Holdings Co., Japan's biggest retailer and operator of the Ito-Yokado supermarket chain, said in a telephone interview yesterday.
Cattle Ban
Japan asked Miyagi prefecture to stop the movement of beef cattle from the area after cesium was found in beef sourced from the region, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yukio Edano said today. Miyagi was one of the prefectures worst affected by the March 11 tsunami that led to the meltdown at the Fukushima facility.
Tochigi prefecture, north of Tokyo, will check all beef exported from the area for radioactive materials, Kyodo News reported today without citing anyone.
Aeon, based in Chiba, near Tokyo, has contracts with 1,500 farmers across the country supplying its Topvalu Wagyu. Half the farms are on the southern tip of Japan's southern island of Kyushu, more than 1,000 kilometers (600 miles) from the Fukushima plant. Aeon said it controls what cattle used for Topvalu Wagyu products eat and drink.
Under the retailer's testing program, 1-kilogram (2-pound) samples are taken from each cattle carcass and sent to one of five laboratories in Japan for testing to confirm the meat doesn't contain levels of cesium 134 and 137 exceeding government safety standards.
Aeon aims to double its offering of Topvalu Wagyu products, which it plans to sell in its 1,000 outlets by August, according to the company's statement. It will also increase imports of beef from the Australian island-state of Tasmania by 30 percent to 50 percent, and sell the products under the Topvalu brand, Aeon said.

Objective quality assessment has been widely used in image processing for decades and many researchers have been studying the objective quality assessment method based on human visual system (HVS). Recently the structural similarity (SSIM) is proposed, under the assumption that the HVS is highly adapted for extracting structural information from a scene, and simulation results have proved that it is better than PSNR (or MSE), By deeply studying the SSIM, we find it fails in measuring the badly blurred images. Based on this, we develop an improved method which is called gradient-based structural similarity (GSSIM). Experiment results show that GSSIM is more consistent with HVS than SSIM and PSNR especially for blurred images.

I would like to ad a different slideshow to different posts or pages. So I bumped into Meteor.
I tried it now on one post.
But when I enter the shortcode it ends up showing one slideshow in the top-left corner, above the header and one on the place i entered the code.
I just entered the shortcode in the post, nothing in the template, is that the problem. I'm not familiar with php so I don't know where to put it if I need to alter the php.
I really would like some help with this or a good alternative.

Poor Is Cool! (But Only If You're Not Really Poor)
The Wall Street meltdown has spawned a hot new trend, and it's already hit the suburbs!
Poverty is always cycling in and out of fashion, and after a long spell of it being decidedly out, pauvre chic is, thanks to the recession, totally back. And it's already hit the suburbs! And Vanity Fair: "I was at the Food Emporium in Bedford [in Westchester County] yesterday, using my Food Emporium discount card," a Greenwich woman tells the magazine. "The well-dressed wife of a Wall Street guy was standing behind me. She asked me how to get one. Then she said, 'Have you ever used coupons?' I said, 'Sure, maybe not lately, but sure.' She said, 'It's all the rage now — where do you get them?'" [VF, YouTube]

It was another exciting weekend in the Premier League following the international break, as many teams didn't miss a beat in the two weeks away.
For some, though, that wasn't such a good thing.
After four games (three for some), we start to get a picture of both the title race and the relegation picture.
Before many teams turn their mid-week attention to European football, let's look back at five things we learned in the Premier League this weekend.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Aug 01st, 1986
Running Time: 78
Director: Ron Jeremy
Company: Wet Video
Cast: Tom Byron, Brittany Bardo, Erica Ross, Robbie Dee, Raymond Dandee, Barbie Blake, Sherry Evan, Trinity Loren
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
There is a mainstream movie, which shall remain nameless, in which the heroine claims she is "all grown up and haired over." Used to be that was the criteria for womanhood. Today we have to deal with sheared beaver and furless foxes; bald is beautiful, coiffed quiffs are passé.
This feature starts off with a young lady hacking away at her lower hirsute endowment. She hacks and hacks, until I feel like screaming "Put a *&%$ blade in the thing." Then she has sex. But this is only a videotape our hero is watching and has nothing to do with the story. Why is it there?
The story deals with a hillbilly couple, whose failing barbershop is saved by their cousin's suggestion that they turn their clients upside down and make their fortune de-bearding the clam, as it were. So much for the story.
The sex in To Live and Shave in L.A. is extremely hot and well laid out by veteran-performer-turned director Ron Jeremy. Every base is covered from oral to anal to lesbian to straight, and really well photographed. It will, dear reader, straighten out everything on you that is bent.

In the new version 1.9.0 the links to Piclens work nolonger for my pages.
What can I do?
Sincerely yours,
In the new version 1.9.0 the links to Piclens work nolonger for my pages.
What can I do?
Sincerely yours,
I will look into this
Wow I didn't notice that 'til I saw this thread, mine isn't working either. I was about to post another problem. I'll create a new thread.
View with PicLens option doesn't works for me too, neither with the Twentyeleven theme nor with all other plugins disabled.
Fortunately, it continues to work with the version 1.8.4 which can be found at
one has only to unzip the file nextgen-gallery.1.8.4.zip in the plugins-folder of wordpress.
PicLens not working for me either (WP 3.2.1.)
I copied the old file nextgen-gallery/lib/media-rss.php from the 1.8.4 in place of the new one and marvel! the link to Piclens works.
I think that I have found the error with Piclens.
There is a small difference between the 2 files media-rss.php
In 1.8.4 there is
in 1.9.0
the s is missing at the end of hhtps
Sorry, the error is not the s.
It seems that the error is in the function add_piclens_javascript with the introduction of
instead of
echo "\n" . '<script type="text/javascript" src="...
Check if your theme contain the wp_footer() call, you can test it with the plugin check at the overview page.
or you test it with the default theme
I use the theme twentyten which has a footer.php with a wp_footer(); at the end with the comment
/* Always have wp_footer() just before the closing </body>
* tag of your theme, or you will break many plugins, which
* generally use this hook to reference JavaScript files.
So to have everything working, I have installed on my sites the 1.9.0-version
and I have copied the file lib/media-rss.php of the version 1.8.4.
Strange, here it works
Here, my systems are Linux Ubuntu 9.10 or 10.04 at home, I tried the browsers Firefox 8.0.1, Opera and Midori with the same result : they do not like the function wp_enqueue_script since it is the single difference between the 2 files lib/media-rss.php.
Also here Piclens works only with the previous 1.8.4 version of media-rss.php file.
I's possible to have a 1.9.1 update that solves the problem for everyone?
I moved the call to this script to a different position, hope this work for you :
Hi Alex,
First I reinstalled the media-rss.php file vers. 1.9.0, right?
Then I uploaded the nggallery.php file vers. 1.9.1 from your link, but doesn't work.
For me, now the link opens to the PicLens' dark wall, but no photos or thumbnails are loaded.
Please post a link
Unfortunately I'm doing these tests on a non-indexed site, because it's a copy of the one in production. Actually I don't even use PicLens at the moment, I'm only interested in the issue by chance, so it's not so important to me.
However, there are errors in the back-end too, in wp-login.php file and wp-includes/pluggable.php file: Can not modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ... path to / nggallery.php: 544), and I can't access the administration pages.
The front-side is OK, except for the PicLens visualization.
Like I said before, this question doesn't interest me directly, it was only to make sense of it. I would say that we all can use the previous media-rss file solution, which is fine, and you can take time to fix this issue, if anyone else is interested in it.
My only question is: restore the old media-rss.php file version in the next plugin version, would give problems to someone?
I had the same problem on many sites where I upgraded NectGen Gallery and now I uploaded the old version of media-rss.php as described above and PicLens works on all the sites.
@Christian Ries
I too
It would be great you tested the bugfix, thx
@Christian Ries, dimonaco
Yes, test the bugfix on your sites too, because my test site isn't well configured since I don't use it.
I tested the file nggallery.php given by Alex: with the 2 versions of media-rss.php, I obtain a black rectangle without images nor thumbnails.
Can you post a link ?
I tryied again: now things seem to work, I have cancelled the Cache-folder, I suppose that I had a mixture of new files and old files because of the Cache.
Here is my blog to make tests:
with 1.9.1 for nggallery.php and 1.9.0 for lib/media-rss.php
So for me the problem is solved.
Thank you.
Thanks !
Works for me too in production site, not in the development one, but it's not a plugin issue.
Sorry, I'm here again for the same issue. Today I realized that comment field in editor page wasn't visible, even with default theme. So, after disabling all plugins and reactivated one by one it turns out that's Nextgen to give the "undefined error" in that field. Everything in frontend is OK, and backend works, only comment field isn't visible.
Soon after Nextgen reactivation a message appear, I try to translate it:
The plugin has generated 1 unexpected output character during the activation. If there are "headers already sent" warning message, problems with the feed or any other problem, try disabling or removing this plugin.
So, I've tried to restore old nggallery.php (1.9.0) and old lib/media-rss.php (1.8.4), and everything's fine, comments are visible in editor page.
Yesterday I successfully upgraded WordPress and Nextgen to the latest versions. I needed to do the Media-rss v1.8.4 trick to get piclens to work.
I have one further problem. I have a photo gallery page http://www.sambadoc.org.uk/gallery/?show=gallery
that shows 7 photo galleries with 5 thumbnails per gallery showing. If I, for example, click on page 2 to view the next 5 thumbnails all 7 galleries move on to page 2 and not just the gallery selected. This didn't happen before the upgrade.
Is there a cure for this?

Some Chackbay students headed to Bayou Boeuf
Published: Thursday, March 17, 2011 at 10:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 17, 2011 at 10:54 a.m.
THIBODAUX — Bayou Boeuf Elementary's boundaries will expand south this fall, uprooting about 125 Chackbay students in a move that some critics say is more about money than children's education.
School-system administrators say moving the students is the best option and will prevent the closure of Bayou Boeuf, which has faced shrinking enrollment for years as the north Lafourche community's population decreases.
The School Board made the decision at its Wednesday meeting, which was attended by about 60 parents and employees from the two schools. Many parents discussed how the changes would affect their children, while employees expressed concerns about their jobs and the students.
"You're not really hearing us," Cassie Vedroz, a Chackbay parent who lives in the affected area, told board members. "Our children are real people. They're not just numbers and dollar signs that you can switch around."
The board voted 14-1 to approve the proposal, with Gregg Stall casting the only opposing vote. Stall, who represents the affected area, said his constituents expressed "valid concerns," especially it terms of how it would affect student transportation.
Some students who live just minutes from Chackbay Elementary will now have to travel 12 miles to Bayou Boeuf. Students in other outlying areas face similar or longer commutes.
Chackbay's current enrollment is 485 students, which system administrators say is too many. Bayou Boeuf has 215, making it Lafourche's smallest student body. By moving 125 students from Chackbay to Bayou Boeuf, enrollments would be better balanced, creating campuses with 360 and 340 students, respectively.
That's especially important as Lafourche schools move toward so-called school-based budgeting as part of a state pilot program. That change means a school's state-provided money, a major part of parish school budgets, would be more closely linked to enrollment numbers. Student-based budgeting could force the shrinking Bayou Boeuf to close, officials say.
"Our goal was to equalize student population and provide adequate and equal educational opportunities for those involved," said Ray Bernard, a school-system administrator who deals with attendance and enrollment issues.
Because of Bayou Boeuf's low enrollment, the cost of educating a student there is about $2,500 more per year than the cost of educating a student at Chackbay. Balancing enrollment numbers will even out those costs, Bernard said. The parishwide average cost per student is about $3,800 a year.
The affected Chackbay students will change schools in the fall. Bayou Boeuf's boundaries will expand south on both sides of La. 20 down to and including Grand Bayou trailer park, Sevin subdivision, Mars Street and Rodrigue Street. The boundary will also incorporate La. 307 and Choctaw Road on the
east side of Sixth Ward Middle School.
The changes sparked concerns among school employees who feared the shift would leave them jobless.
"What some people call overcrowded, we call job security," said Michelle Becnel, a Chackbay Elementary teacher who started a family in the area specifically to send them to that school. Colleagues wiped tear-stained eyes as Becnel protested the proposal. "Please, don't rob Peter to pay Paul."
The change would eliminate five teaching positions at Chackbay but add four at Bayou Boeuf, according to Personnel Supervisor Louis Voiron. That means one teacher would be put on the "displaced list," awaiting a not-guaranteed opening elsewhere. The number of paraprofessionals at the two schools will also change, Voiron said, but the exact numbers won't be available until those schools' special-education needs are determined later this year.
Bernard said other suggestions, such as adding classrooms at Chackbay or even building a new school in the area, would be either be inadequate or take too long. Parents and teachers said the school system should have addressed the problem years ago during previous expansions at Chackbay.
Administrators also emphasized that Bayou Boeuf is the highest-scoring school in Lafourche Parish, though opponents questioned whether that distinction would remain once the school's enrollment jumps by 60 percent.
After the meeting, administrators and employees from both schools talked outside about collaboration and the transition process. Chackbay Principal Robby Lee and Bayou Boeuf Principal Kenn Robichaux made plans to meet and discuss the changes.
"We'll be all right," Lee told a group of his teachers. "We'll be all right."
