What it boils down to is optimal playing time. A top-line player will get the best of everything, while a top-six player will receive decent even strength/second unit power-play ice-time. A bottom feeder will most likely receive checking line ice-time and less optimal scoring ice-time, which will hamper their scoring ability during the season. Their big break will only come if there are injuries or big sophomore slumps from their team's top-six. There really isn't a sense in projection 80 points for a player who isn't even on a team's top-line let alone top-six. Note: Take the line combos with a grain of salt. They are just arbitrary and are used primarily to separate a team's top-six from the bottom-six. I really don't want to get into arguments about how Bobby Ryan is going to line up alongside Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry instead of Joffrey Lupul. Anyways, onto the good stuff.
Anaheim - Locked
Top Six
Joffrey Lupul – Ryan Getzlaf – Corey Perry
Bobby Ryan – Saku Koivu – Teemu Selanne
Bottom Feeders
Andrew Ebbett, Todd Marchant, Erik Christensen and Ryan Carter.
Anaheim's top six is set in stone, and there really isn't too much wiggle room for the bottom six to improve barring injury. The Ducks offense looks pretty potent and should compete hard with the Sharks for the Pacific crown this season.
Calgary – Top-line set, second line uncertain
Top Line
Rene Bourque – Olli Jokinen – Jarome Iginla
Curtis Glencoss – Daymond Langkow – David Moss
Bottom Feeders
Craig Conroy, Wayne Primeau, Freddie Sjostrom, Eric Nystrom, Mikael Backlund, Jamie Lundmark and Brandon Prust.
Calgary's top six is pretty much almost the opposite of Anaheim's, where there is plenty of room for movement amongst the top-six. Moss is an early favourite of mine, but if he falters there's will be plenty of opportunity for Lundmark/Nystrom to jump in and take a top-six position with the Flames. The same goes for Glencross. With Moss and Glencross, you could either hit a massive walk-off homerun, or strike out swinging. Tread accordingly.
Chicago- Top six solid, but faces stiff competition
Top Six
Patrick Sharp – Jonathan Toews – Patrick Kane
Kris Versteeg – Dave Bolland – Marian Hossa
Bottom Feeders
Dustin Byfuglien, John Madden, Andrew Ladd, Troy Brouwer, Tomas Kopecky, Ben Eager, Colin Fraser and Adam Burish.
Chicago is in an enviable position as their top-nine is pretty much interchangeable. If any of their "role players" struggle they could easily be replaced with someone temporarily lower on the depth chart. Byfuglien established himself as a pest in front of the net on the power-play so look for him to assume that role once again for the Hawks on the PP. With that said, Blackhawk players are going to experience "Detroit" syndrome, where third-line players will "steal" points away from top-six players, just based on the quality of their third line. With the exception of Toews, Kane and Hossa, it'll be near impossible for the other Blackhawk players to crack the 85 point mark this season.
Columbus – Pretty Certain, but faces shallow competition
Top Six
Rick Nash – R.J. Umberger – Kristian Huselius
Antoine Vermette – Derrick Brassard – Jakub Voracek
Bottom Feeders
Sammy Pahlsson, Freddie Modin, Raffi Torres, Jason Chimera, Nikita Filatov, Jared Boll, Andrew Murray, and Derek Dorsett.
Columbus' top-six is fairly certain, but there could be a bit of movement involving the top-line center position. Torres, Chimera and Filatov would make a formidable third-line, but chances are that Columbus will probably keep Filatov down in the minors for another year of seasoning. The Blue Jackets are in a similar position as the Flames, but Columbus has the advantage of boasting a more talented second line than Calgary does, which will make it more difficult for the third line players to crack.
Colorado – Top-line locked, rest uncertain
Top Six
Wojtek Wolski – Paul Stastny – Milan Hejduk
Darcy Tucker – Matt Duchenne – Marek Svatos
Bottom Feeders
T.J. Hensick, Cody McLeod, Chris Stewart, Dave Koci, T.J. Galiardi, and Ryan Stoa.
The lack of depth in the top-six coupled with shallow competition from the bottom-six, it can be expected that there will be plenty of line up changes in Colorado throughout the season. Tucker's temporary spot in the top-six could easily be occupied by one of Hensick, Stewart, Galiardi, Stoa or McLeod during the season. Duchenne should certainly get the green light, and probably is the front runner for the Calder Trophy entering this season. There probably isn't too much fantasy impact in Colorado this season, but look for Wolski to finally make a push towards stardom this season.
Next week: the Stars, Red Wings, Oilers, Kings and Wild.
Questions or comments? Like always I'll be ready and willing to discuss them in the comments section below.
Ryan Ma said:
You would want them to be in top-six roles, but expecting them to be is a bit of a reach to be honest.
If you look at CLB, they have Nash, Huselius, Vermette, Umberger, Voracek and Brassard already, now throw in Torres, Chimera, Pahlsson, and Modin. Unless he completely blows the clothes off the coaches at training camp, it'll be near impossible for him to get into the CLB lineup let alone the top-six.
As for Backlund I think he gets a shot, but he won't be given it automatically. Moss/Glencross will be options 1/2 for top-six roles, if they happen to falter, then option 3 becomes Backlund... so yes Baclund is in the mix for a top-six role, but he certainly won't be expected to be given a top-six role.

I like him too, just that I don't know if they have full confidence in him to be a lock for a top-six role. The thing with Colorado is that they don't have much to play for, so those young kids will get the green light if they do make a top-six role, but I don't know if they're gonna be huge fantasy assets in pools though.
As for Backlund, I don't quite know that they're gonna rush him. To be honest, Moss, Glencross, Lundmark, Sjostrom, and Conroy seem capable enough to fill out the top-nine that there isn't going to be a huge rush for them to hurry him along. That plus the Flames don't have a history of rushing their rookies, but hey things definitely change from now to the start of the season, at least we have a starting point for discussion.
Great banter guys, keep it up.
Ryan Ma said:
Like I mentioned in the article, I think it's just temporary until one of Galiardi, Hensick, Stewart or Stoa claiming it later on in the season. I'm not saying he's gonna be a huge fantasy producer, but what I am trying to point out is just how weak Colorado's offense really is that, they have to resort to Tucker as a top-six player for next season.
And to justify it, if you look at frozen pond, he spent the second most time alongside Wolski and Sakic last season, which to me seems like a top-six role. Any other team he's a third liner, but on Colorado he's a temporary top-six.
I still wouldn't draft him unless it's a late round steal...
bluejays said:
Cgy - If Backlund makes the squad full time as Hensick, they will be top 6 players. They do not fit the mold of bottom 6 guys and were drafted for their playmaking abilities. Glencross, Moss, and Boyd will compete for the other spot. Nystrom is not a top 6 if you've seen him play.
Col - as indicated, Hensick may have to win a final 6 spot from Stewart or a FA they may sign. Tucker is nowhere near a top 6, and from what I hear Col is trying to dump his salary.
Although Byf will probably be that 7th or 8th frwd, he will be on PP2 as you indicated (Bolland plays the point on PP).

Barring any signings, is Huselius a lock to play with Nash? He can be had for cheap in our league, and I don't have a lot of faith in him. But, if he plays with Nash.......
What do you expect from him points wise? Same question for Borque in Calgary.

Every day, more and more Americans discover the benefits of hemp. This ever-expanding market includes healthy food and body care products, as well as eco-friendly textiles, clothing, auto parts, and building materials. But despite hemp's growing popularity, an outdated and misguided Federal policy – created in the 1930s – currently prevents U.S. farmers from growing this nutritious, versatile, and eco-friendly crop.
It is time for Federal policy on industrial hemp to reflect today's reality and ensure a better tomorrow for America's families and farmers, the economy and our planet. It's Time to Grow!
The 4th Annual Hemp History Week was a huge success with over 880 events held nation-wide!

I'm a stay at home mom who recently started a small business and I love to go to this coffee shop when my daughters are with their grandparents. Its cute, small, plays good indie music, and has delicious drinks and snacks. Going during the week I get a table all to myself and I am able to churn out a lot more work. Free wireless too, can't argue with that. Go here if you are tired of Starbuck$$$$ and their burnt beans.
Rudeness Prevails! – I highly reccomend NOT going to Crazy Mocha - especially Bloomfield. This place is haunted with liberal snobs who have the hearts of selfish pigs. With that said, my expierence was this; after completing my order and removing my cardboard container cup to the stationary table, the cup collapsed in my hands. Hot steaming latte poured out all over my hands, shoes and the floor. The pain was horrendous. The only reaction i got was from the server, who whisked by and mopped up the floor quickly - and poorly, was not pleasant. Even though half my drink poured out on me and the floor, she never bothered to replace the drink or offer any support. Also, i looked around to see if any of the hot liquid had touched any one else in the crowded room. I was astonished to see the look in people's eyes as they stared at me disapprovingly and like I was a disease. Not evan a "R U okay?" arose from the people who were unscathed by my delima and by my trembling, scolding hands. (If I was a liberal - like i assume the clientel is there - i would have immdiately thought 'lawsuite')
Needless to say, i finished the 1/2 of the Latte i had left and decided against getting any cookies or movies - the original purpose of going there in the first place. With my swollen and sore hands and my pride burnt by the rude enviroment, i left there disappointed. Disappointed in Crazy Mocha and disapointed in the rudeness of people.
I can not help but wonder what i did to provoke such harsh stares from everyone in that place except when a friend had advised me that i was dressed "casually and like a normal person" . Eh. if i ever go back (really - never) i will note to myself to dress like greasy college professor or join the cliche of piercing and tattoos.
Whether you pop in for an espresso shot or linger with a pot of coffee, this cafe gets you a jolt for less money (and less pretense). – In Short
While not as sleek as Starbucks, Crazy Mocha's vibrant decor, affordable prices and to-die-for desserts will keep you coming back. Even on cloudy days, the light pouring in from the floor-to-ceiling windows makes Crazy Mocha an ideal place to read or work on your laptop. (The coffeeshop has a wireless internet connection.) Chose from a wide variety of brewed coffees and exotic teas or--if you're feelin' a little mocha loca--order a specialty drink.

This year, a record 713 UCLA students are expected to study abroad — despite the turmoil in the Middle East and flu epidemics in Asia.
UCLA Today Staff
For Franchesca Cabrera, flamenco isn't just a hobby — it's her life. Yet it wasn't until she traveled to Spain last spring that Cabrera, a UCLA world arts and cultures senior, discovered just why she was so attracted to flamenco.
"It is looked upon as a dark, deep art form," she said. "The idea of dancing to lyrics that express suffering, loss and love — that fascinates me."
Cabrera was among 582 UCLA students who traveled overseas in 2002-03 under the University of California's Education Abroad Program (EAP), whose mission is to provide high-quality international education to UC students. This year, a record 713 UCLA students are expected to study abroad — despite the turmoil in the Middle East and flu epidemics in Asia. In fact, the volatile international climate seems to have encouraged students to go abroad.
After the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, for example, many students preferred to remain in their host countries. "They learned a lot from being in a different environment," said Lindsey Daltro-Schram, EAP's interim administrative director at UCLA.
"Many students feel that the program is one of the best hopes for international peace and understanding," said Scott Cooper, EAP associate director for academic integration at UC. "When the world intrudes on us, Americans get more interested in the world."
Interacting with foreigners also helps students develop the skills necessary to succeed in an increasingly globalized world. Eileen Fabunan, 22, a French and Francophone studies major at UCLA, is a case in point. She lived for a year in the French alpine city of Grenoble, studying French literature, culture and society. Although she found France's political climate unsettling — the Iraq war was just around the corner — Fabunan was glad to be there. "I wasn't just living in my bubble, but getting a different opinion," she said. "My stay opened a lot of doors culturally and linguistically, politically and personally." Fabunan now hopes to carve out a career in a French-speaking country as an international immigration law specialist.
Since EAP was launched in 1962, more than 40,000 students have gone abroad, including an annual average of 240 UCLA students. Over the years, the program's scope has been greatly broadened. Initially conceived as a cultural exchange for students in their junior year, the program was opened to seniors and sophomores. A number of academic and discipline-specific "focus programs" were added. There are currently some 240 program options in 150 institutions in 35 countries.
Studying peace and security in Japan, tropical biology in Costa Rica and marine science in Australia are just a few of the programs EAP has offered. This year's programs include such themes as "Globalization and China," "Transatlantic Dialogue" and "Comparative U.S.-Mexico," which encompasses everything from economic to cultural relations between the two countries. Each program is integrated into the UC campus curricula, and students are encouraged to take long-term courses for a minimum of two semesters. Courses are either organized by UC or in close partnership with host universities.
Students who study abroad dramatically improve their resumés. "Medical and law schools in particular are looking for something unusual," Cooper said. But in general, "students come back and tell us it was a totally transformative experience." Hardly surprising, given their extensive exposure to new academic perspectives, intellectual issues and applied problems.

A year after the big-screen version, Teen Wolf made its way to television as a cartoon. As in the film, the cartoon Scott Howard (played in the movie by Michael J. Fox) was forced to deal with the indignities of adolescence-acne, girl trouble, and extra hair... everywhere.
Unlike the film's premise, wherein Scott became popular at school after his alter ego was revealed, the cartoon showed Scott hoping to keep his werewolf tendencies a secret. The animated series also added a pack of were-relatives, including Scott's grandparents and semi-wolfen little sister Lupe.
Growing up in the city of Wolverton, which had become a tourist stop because of its historic werewolf sightings, Scott fought hard to keep his alter ego a secret. He did, however, confide in his two best buds, Styles (voiced by Donny "Ralph Malph" Most) and the female Boof.
Whenever Scott was angered or exposed to a full moon, the teenager would become a werewolf. A frequent source of his anger was Mick, Scott's rival for the affection of the school knockout, Pam.
June Foray (the voice of Rocket J. Squirrel) provided the voice not only for Grandma Howard, but also for Mrs. Sesslick, the nosy next-door neighbor. Along with her dorky reporter son Waldo, Mrs. Sesslick spent most of her time trying to expose the teen wolf's secret.
The show ran for three Saturday-morning seasons, even surviving the box-office bomb Teen Wolf Too. The Saturday morning show also boasted not one, but two memorable theme songs-a spooky rock piece and its cheerier surf pop replacement.

Despite the best efforts of our elected officials to purge voter rolls, suppress voter registration, and generally make it harder to vote, we have the opportunity to vote for the next 11 days. I know a lot of people think that voting and elections don't matter. That is only true when we get so oblivious about the world around us that we don't even care when our leaders lie to us. Critical thinking, logic, and integrity are in short supply in the world. They have been replaced with the single desire of instant self gratification at any cost. I believe this is our biggest problem and there is nothing exceptional about lying, cheating, and stealing to generate wealth. If we can't be honest with ourselves how can we address the many serious problems facing us? I beg you to get informed with facts, stay informed with facts, and get out and vote your conscious whatever that may mean. It is time for us to think for ourselves and follow our convictions to their conclusions to demand solutions to the chronic issues that have plagued us for decades.
If you decided not to vote or feel so hopeless about society and humanity our leaders will continue to mislead us, take away our rights, and run our livelihoods into the ground. Isn't your life, future potential, the lives of your loved ones worth the effort to get informed and make a rational informed decision? We can continue to pretend we don't have to address our real problems or our problems will destroy everything we've built and have worked so hard for. It is time for us to grow up and think about more than instant self gratification. We must begin to demand more from ourselves, our society, and our government.
It is hard to know what to believe today. Opinion is submitted as fact and there are no consequences for having bad ideas or lying. I refuse to keep doing the same thing and expect different results. I refuse to accept purposeful ignorance. I refuse to pretend that elected officials don't matter and that we can't change things because we don't have a political action committee.
So let us take our country and government back from the corporations who want to make profit at any cost and will do anything to mold legislation so they can hurt people on purpose to make money. Let us take our country back from politicians who will not explain their specific plans if elected. Let us take our country back from hypocrites who say they want personal freedom but want to enslave woman to their personal beliefs about reproductive rights. Let us take our country back from hypocrites who cry about the deficit while fighting tooth and nail for more tax cuts, military spending, and war. So let us take our country back from those who think it's exceptional to make people suffer for profit, or will say anything to gain political office, or just don't have any integrity or character. Let us take our country back from those who believe the world owes us everything simply because we're American and that we don't have to work for anything or earn the respect of others.
There is so much wrong in the world. It is very easy to want to give up. But all that has to happen for the most irrational, unscrupulous, misinformed, angry, and afraid people to run the world is for the rest of us to sit by and watch our life be stolen from us then be bought and sold in front of our eyes. Don't be a sheep. Find your beliefs, share your beliefs, and make a difference!

text: Jerzy Skolimowski's harsh action drama starts with the premise of the American military's adventurism in Central Asia and its practice of torture, while also portraying the religious indoctrination of the local warriors it combats. But the ephemera of politics and dogma fade into the background as the director—fiercely aided by his lead actor, Vincent Gallo—creates a sort of feral cinema, in which a captured combatant, beaten and jailed and enduring rendition to an unnamed European country, manages to escape. There, he struggles to avoid recapture and to survive in snowed-under, sparsely inhabited woodlands, and Skolimowski films his savage travails with an exciting yet chilling alternation between the grandeur of landscapes and the grit of intimate experience. Some of the story's essential killing is done by the unnamed protagonist in order to make his break, but something more essential, and more primal, underlies his exertions. The clash of civilizations and conflicts of weaponry emerge as a set of miniature epic battles of wills and wiles that predate the rival social orders. Under the guise of current events, Skolimowski artfully conjures an elemental archetype of human life itself. In English, Polish, and Arabic.

With plenty of fish in the sea to choose from, Gorebyss may seem like a strange choice. While it has a great base 114 Special Attack, its other stats are nothing to write home about. What makes Gorebyss interesting is its access to Swift Swim and Shell Smash. These two qualities allow Gorebyss to outspeed many of its opponents and put that one stat it has to good use. With some support, Gorebyss can become a monstrous glass cannon.
Shell Smash is the biggest reason to use Gorebyss, doubling its Speed and Special Attack at the expense of its survivability. After one Shell Smash, Gorebyss reaches 202 Speed and 364 Special Attack. Muddy Water makes good use of Shell Smash boosts, hitting both opponents on the field. Surf can be used over Muddy Water so Gorebyss doesn't miss with its main attack, but the heavy damage it will do to Gorebyss's ally makes it somewhat undesirable. Ice Beam allows Gorebyss to take on Grass- and Dragon-types that resist Water. Finally, Protect gives Gorebyss a way to defend itself for a turn if an unfavourable situation arises. If you prefer an offensive move for the fourth moveslot, Hidden Power Bug can be used instead of Protect.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Hydro Pump gives Gorebyss a devastatingly powerful attack. A +2 Hydro Pump in the rain easily OHKOes 4 HP Latios and Cresselia. However, Hydro Pump's accuracy is somewhat unreliable, making it a less atractive option. Baton Pass passes off the Shell Smash boosts to another Pokemon, but makes setting everything up quite lengthy. Psychic deals with Toxicroak, while Hidden Power Electric or Grass tears through opposing Water Types. A Focus Sash can be used over Life Orb, trading the extra offense for a guarantee to survive any one attack, but Gorebyss will lose out on a lot of OHKOesl. Alternatively, a White Herb can be used to counter the defensive stat drops, but once again, Gorebyss will lose out on a number of its OHKOs.
Checks and Counters
Finding a way to keep Gorebyss out of the rain, or from using Shell Smash, will keep the damage it can deal to a minimum. However, with Pokemon that have Follow Me often alongside Gorebyss, this can be a difficult task. The easiest way to do this is to use Pokemon with multi-targeting moves, Discharge in particular. These attacks bypass Follow Me support Pokemon and hit Gorebyss hard, preventing it from properly setting up.
If Gorebyss has managed to set up, there are still ways to handle it. Setting up Trick Room can help as it makes making Gorebyss's Speed work against it, leaving it vulnerable. Pokemon that have Wide Guard, such as Hitmontop, can block Muddy Water or Surf, creating an offensive opening. Lastly, Pokemon like Abomasnow, Ludicolo, and Kingdra can be used as they can withstand Gorebyss's Water attacks and can KO back with Grass- or Dragon-type attacks respectively, although the first two have to watch out for Hidden Power Bug.

You will see two boots being tested by the Kentucky Reptile Zoo in this video. The camouflage boot is the new Russell Turtleskin Turkey Hunter built with Turtleskin SnakeArmor. The brown boot is our conventional Turkey Hunter, built with Viper Cloth uppers. Both boots were certified snake-resistant, after repeated strikes by a Western Diamondback Rattlesnake and a Cottonmouth snake.
First, balloons were inserted inside the boots and presented to the snakes. The snakes were encouraged to strike, which they did! In the second part of the test, a man wore the boot into the snake area. Again, the snakes were allowed to bite. Both snakes bit and neither was able to penetrate either boot. Note the fresh snake venom which is clearly visible as the boot is held up for the camera.

"For as long as I can remember I've loved drawing. Over time, the practice of sitting down to really look at something has become part of me. Nature has been a source of inspiration since childhood. Drawing from nature encourages spontaneity and playfulness, because in nature there is more than one right answer." —Susan Coleman

I love the jumbo eye pencils especially milk. They are creamy and very easy to work with. I love using them as a base for really bright shadows, they make the color stick on and not budge at all. But beware they crease, badly without a primer. Just be sure to use a primer under them and you're good to go! Awesome product NYX! :)

Beautiful pigmentation, but still susceptible to creasing
I have these in Yogurt, Cashmere, Pots & Pans, Milk, Black Bean, and Cottage Cheese. All of them are beautifully pigmented, except Cashmere and Pots & Pans, which come up a bit sheer.
I've seen gurus use these as an eyeshadow primer, which I tried before, but it is NOT a good idea for oily lids. Within a few minutes, all of my eye makeup creased. So I used an eye primer under the jumbo pencils, and it also creased within in hour.
All in all, these are great for people with non-super oily lids, unlike mine.

So useful!
I love these! I own almost every color and use them as bases for my eyeshadows to make my shadows really stick and pop! I love how I can change the colors of my eyeshadows by using different colored Jumbo Pencils underneath-- Milk makes my colors bold and bright, Black Bean makes them sultry and smokey, etc. I also use them when doing costume makeup--Pots and Pans made an excellent silver base for my Terminator look! The only cons I have for these are that they will crease significantly if you don't use a primer underneath. Other than that, they last all day and make your eyeshadows really stand out!
A quick tip: Ulta sells a sharpener that works excellently for them.

Creamy and useful
This product is what made me fall in love with NYX's products. Very useful, as a primer, as a mixable shadow and I'm sure it has other uses as well. I also have it in black bean, which I don't use as much but apply with an angled brush along my lash line. The only complaint I have would have to be with the largeness of the stick it comes in. I didn't have a sharpener that would work with it, so I had to resort to a sharp knife and whittling, which I suppose is fine, but a little inconvenient. I've read some people melted it in the microwave and poured it into a pot, but I am not really willing to possibly ruin my appliances this way nor do I have anything suitable to put it in, so whittling was my choice. I heard you can buy a sharpener from NYX that fits it, but I digress. The product is very creamy and I found myself using it quite a bit when I needed to lighten a shadow along the brow bone. I would totally recommend it, and if you can, try and find the sharpener they sell as well. It would have saved me a lot of time if I had thought to buy one.

If you're a first-time mom, finding a great doctor to care for a baby you haven't even met yet can seem like a daunting task. Wondering where to begin? Look no further. Here's your guide to finding a pediatrician to take your child from the first few days through the early years and beyond! Source: Thinkstock Ask Your Obstetrician What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you're not sure where to begin, ask your obstetrician if she has anyone she'd personally recommend. Oftentimes, there's overlap in the medical community, and if you're pleased with your ob-gyn's practice, they may be able to refer you to a like-minded pediatrician. My obstetrician actually had a list of recommended kids' doctors broken down by neighborhood, which is how I found my son's pediatrician, and something that I've since shared with several friends. It's worth an ask! Source: Thinkstock 1 / 5 Determine What You're Looking For What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Before setting off on your quest for the perfect pediatrician, have a discussion with your partner about what you're looking for in a doctor for your child. Are you interested in alternative vaccination schedules? A holistic approach to medicine? Also make sure that you're clear on your medical insurance policy. If both of your employers offer benefits, you may want to do a comparison to make sure you're taking advantage of the best plan for your family. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 5 Location, Location, Location What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If you thought that you spent a lot of time at the obstetrician's office during your pregnancy, just wait until you have a newborn. Between the first few weeks of making sure that your baby is gaining enough weight to regular well-child visits and everything that arises in between, visits to the doctor will become a regular part of your new mom routine. Choose someone who's close and convenient. If you live in the city, you may consider someone within walking distance, and if you're in the suburbs, an easy drive is key! Source: Flickr user mliu92 Source: Thinkstock 3 / 5 Ask a Friend What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The most reliable reference is a firsthand recommendation from someone you trust. If you have friends, family, or colleagues with kids in the area, ask who they use and how their experience has been. If you're new to your neighborhood or are the first of your group to have a child, consider joining a new moms group. It's a great resource for giving referrals, asking advice, and sharing experiences. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 5 "Interview" Potential Candidates What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While interviewing a doctor for your baby may seem like a strange concept, it's become fairly commonplace for pediatricians to meet with expectant parents before they make a commitment. Some practices even hold group information sessions for moms- and dads-to-be to familiarize themselves with their office's philosophies and answer any questions. Once you've homed in on a few candidates for the job, phone their offices to see what they offer in terms of prebaby meetings. Once you're there, here are a few important topics to address: Is the doctor affiliated with the hospital you'll be delivering at? What are the office's hours? Do they work with your schedule? How long does it usually take to schedule an appointment? What's the process if you have a question that doesn't require a visit? Will the doctor answer emails, texts, or voicemails? How long does a response generally take? How do your views match up (or differ) on topics like breastfeeding, cosleeping, sleep training, and vaccinations? Take note of things like the cleanliness and overall vibe of the office and waiting room, how friendly the staff is, and whether or not you're comfortable with the doctor's attitude and viewpoints.

Around the world: 10 things to know Tuesday
FILE - In this Thursday, Sept. 13, 2012 file photo, a Libyan man investigates the inside of the U.S. Consulate after an attack that killed four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens, on the night of Tuesday, Sept. 11, 2012, in Benghazi, Libya. A man linked to the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi has been conditionally released by Tunisian authorities due to lack of evidence, his lawyer said Tuesday Jan. 8, 2013. The release of Ali Harzi, a 26-year-old Tunisian, appears to represent a blow to the investigation of the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate in Libya. (AP Photo/Mohammad Hannon, File) Photo by

Living in HOPE in 2007
Published on January 4, 2007, 12:00am | Comments
RESOLUTIONS 2007: A New Year, A New You
|Get In Shape
|Awaken Your Spirituality
|Organize Your Closets
|Plan Your Life

|Check Out Cosmetic Surgery
Many say ''seeing is believing'' but at Believers Church we have discovered that quite often believing FIRST is the key to seeing!
Too many in our community have lost their hope -- hope for a better life, for a better job or higher wages, for acceptance, for restored relationships. And, in addition, many have lost their faith in God -- a God who created us all and who most of all, LOVES and ACCEPTS us just as we are. Where is the hope for a better life? Where is the hope for eternal life beyond the grave?
Dear Friends, eternal life and an encounter with a living God is ALL of our destinies! Do you have faith to believe this? Or are you waiting to ''see'' evidence before you decide to believe?
Jeremiah 29:11-13 says to us, ''For I know the plans that I have for you,'' declares the Lord, ''Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you HOPE and a future. Then you will call upon Me and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and FIND Me when you seek Me with ALL of your heart.''
As you start off your new year, remember that it's full of possibilities and opportunities. Make a decision today to be positive and optimistic about your future. Reach out to our Creator in faith and BELIEVE that God really does know who you are; God really does love you passionately and God really does care about your life. If you will do this, then you will find a new kind of joy for living that springs forth from a HOPE that says, ''God has a plan for me, a good plan, and I'm going to find out what that is and embrace it! I'm going to be just fine!'' In fact, you're going to be great!!!
So start your new year off by taking the time to pray and ask God to be real to you and to reveal His perfect plan for your life. Then live in the HOPE that God will answer you! Believe and you WILL see!
Happy New Year from
Believers Covenant Fellowship

ADA News
CMS offers Medicare guidance for referring/ordering dentists
Washington—After meeting with ADA representatives, Medicare officials identified an abbreviated process for dentists who are not enrolled in Medicare but who order covered items or refer Medicare patients for covered services. The abbreviated process does not apply to dentists already enrolled to provide Medicare services or enrolling for the purpose of submitting claims.
The government insurance program for elderly and disabled beneficiaries requires ordering and referring providers to enroll in Medicare or opt out as reported in the July 12, 2010 ADA News and online at ada.org PECOS enrollment.
The Association has called for a simplified enrollment process and other modifications of the interim final rule published May 5, if not exclusion of dentists from the requirements. ADA representatives met with Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services officials July 1 and reiterated these recommendations in a July 6 letter to the CMS:
- Exclude dentists from the requirements of the interim final rule;
- If exclusion isn't "feasible," adopt a phase-in process for practitioners who rarely refer or order;
- Develop a simplified enrollment form for submission in electronic or paper format;
- Delay enforcement until six months after new forms and electronic enrollment processes are in place;
- Implement procedures to protect practitioners against misuse of their National Provider Identifiers;
- Apply documentation requirements to only "covered" items/services that are ordered or referred;
- Exempt certain dentists from document retention requirements;
- Define "laboratory" to exclude dental laboratories.
CMS in a document posted online Aug. 16 offers new enrollment guidance for dentists including oral surgeons. "In the process of implementing the provisions contained in the Affordable Care Act, we have become aware of several unique enrollment issues for certain types of physicians or practitioners. Specifically, we have modified the process of enrollment to accommodate the special circumstances of the following individual physicians and practitioners," says the document, Medicare Enrollment Guidance for Physicians that Infrequently Receive Reimbursement from the Medicare Program SpecialEnrollmentFactsheet.
The document is intended as guidance to dentists, including oral surgeons, and physicians in fellowships, federal employment or employed by qualified health centers, rural health clinics or critical access hospitals. More information will be available after the final rule is published.
What is PECOS?
Medicare's Internet-based Provider, Enrollment, Chain and Ownership System InternetbasedPECOS is managed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, a Department of Health and Human Services agency.
Dentists and other practitioners may enroll in Medicare by using the Internet-based PECOS or by filling out the 29-page paper version of the CMS-855I PECOS. The July 12 ADA News offers additional information on PECOS and its relevance to dentists who order or refer Medicare-covered items or services for Medicare beneficiaries.
For example, among situations that may be covered by the PECOS regulation are referral of a Medicare beneficiary to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for a biopsy, or submission to an oral and maxillofacial pathologist of a biopsy specimen for a patient who is a Medicare beneficiary.
The PECOS regulation is intended to fight Medicare fraud. Congress in the health care reform law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, told the HHS department to start the system by July 6, 2010 but CMS has not announced an enforcement date.
The following is excerpted from the CMS document Medicare Enrollment Guidance for Physicians that Infrequently Receive Reimbursement from the Medicare Program:
"I am an Oral Surgeon or Dentist – How do I Enroll in PECOS?
"Dentists, including oral surgeons, must enroll in the Medicare program to receive reimbursement for services furnished to Medicare beneficiaries or to order covered items or services for Medicare beneficiaries. Oral surgeons would complete the same paper forms, or on-line application, as any other practitioner enrolling in PECOS.
"If you elect to enroll as a 'referring and ordering physician-only,' you would need to complete the abbreviated enrollment application form in the same way as other physicians (VA, DoD, PHS, FQHC, RHC, CAH) who are enrolling to order and refer only. If you elect to enroll to order and refer only, you would not be enrolled in Medicare for the purpose of providing Medicare services to Medicare beneficiaries.
"In order to provide covered services to Medicare beneficiaries, a dentist, including oral surgeons, would need to complete the full enrollment application either on-line or in hard copy.
"Note: In completing the enrollment application portion dealing with specialty, oral surgeons would check the 'oral surgery (dentist only)' box found in section 2 of the Medicare enrollment application and any other dentist would check the box titled, 'Undefined Physician Type' and specify that they are a dentist in the space provided. In the near future, we will revise the Medicare enrollment application to add 'Dentist' as a physician specialty."
The above abbreviations:
VA – Department of Veterans Affairs
DoD – Department of Defense
PHS – Public Health Service
FQHC – federally qualified health center
RHC – rural health clinic
CAH – critical access hospital

Canvas: Sustainable, Fair-Trade Products
Store Profile
Store History
- Founded by: Andrew Corrie & Harriet Maxwell Mcdonald
- Headquarters: New York City
- Sister stores: Ochre (Ochrestore.com)
English couple and designers Andrew Corrie and Harriet Maxwell Macdonald opened Canvas after the success of their Soho store, Ochre, and their desire to create a more accessible and affordable brand that celebrated the talents of a variety of craftspeople.
As stated in this interview with ShelterPop, what makes Canvas so interesting are the stories behind all the products:
Corrie believes helping people help themselves is the key to building a better, more sustainable world. Canvas's reach is widespread as a result: The bath towels are made by a weaving cooperative in Southern India; gold glazed bowls are made in Peru; paper mache bins are made in Haiti and alpaca throws are made by a group of female weavers run by Marcela Contrera, general manager of Weavers and Designers.
"The groups we work with are local people who happen to have skills in a certain craft," says Corrie. "Frequently there is an amazing skill level that the participants already have, for instance, textiles in India." The goods are bought at market price, which is typically more expensive, but Corrie believes that customers are willing to pay for timeless, well-made and unique products.
We also stand behind Corrie and Canvas' mission to "make beautiful things that people will keep for a lifetime... We want to make something that lasts, gives pleasure, and most importantly, won't end up in a landfill." We couldn't agree more.
The Canvas Collection can be found within the Ochre store in Soho or online.
Favorite Items: 16" Round Felt Cushions, the Birch Bowls, and the Felt picture frames.

Oh! So inequality inside parenthesis in the probability arithmetic means sum of probabilities of all events which satisfy the inequality?
I think this would be more clear. Don't you think?
Hopefully it is obvious that

Similarly, you have observed that
exactly when or ,
What anonimnystefy is referring to in post #6 is that
where if is true and 0 if it is false.
This is also equal to
I hope this helps.
Well? Does anyone have an answer?
I am sorry, I do not understand your answer.
They are both 1. But if you multiply 1 by the probability that X is in fact 7 (or 8), and then sum over all values of X, you will get the probability.
Ok, then lets take the k=2.
In that case we have two X which satisfy the inequality in parenthesis: 7 and 8.
Now what is the values of
Can you tell me the values for a and b?
What is the value of Pr(TRUE)???
You need to find the probability that |X-3.2|>=18.3 . You can do that by summind the probabilities of all values of X for which that is hreater than 18.3 (which is in this case 0). And you probably know that 0<=0.01 .
Yes, I read the definition, but it is not enough, I need a practical example.
Which X should I put here to see the truth of this inequality?
That inequality means that the probability of the difference between X and mu being greater or equal to k*sigma is less than or equal to 1/k^2.
I do not understand it.
For example, if we have a pmf table:
Now, how to calculate it for lets say k=10? or for k=100?
What goes for X in the inequality and what is the result of Pr() function?

Pool Alarms
The Pool Alarms that Westside Wholesale has for sale will help you secure the pool area and ensure your kids and pets are always safe when they are left alone near the water. Since most residential pools are built in a backyard, you may not even know that your child fell into the water when leaving him unattended. To help you prevent such accidents from happening, Westside Wholesale offers a wide assortment of Pool Alarms and Accessories.
A variety of items that this store has for sale includes solar powered pool alarms, along with devices to be installed on doors or gates. The greatest feature of such alarms is multi-functionality, which allows you to install them as stand-alone devices or as part of the integrated pool safety system. In addition to that, each pool alarm you select provides the sound of 85db that can be heard from every room of the house. Easy installation provided by the special hardware with mounting brackets, remote momentary bypass button, magnetic reed switch and precise operation are other features the Pool Alarms offer.
By providing affordable and reliable alarm devices to monitor your pool, Westside Wholesale helps you protect your loved ones from possible accidents that may occur in the water. When such device identifies a splash and waves coming from the unsupervised area of the pool, it triggers a loud alarm around the house that lets you know that something is wrong. Not only that, all Pool Alarms that are offered at Westside Wholesale can be immediately disabled in case you want to enjoy pool activities with your family and friends.

Anyhow, I really want to share this amazing method of making bread with you! I know it's not that new anymore, but it really is a keeper! You've always been wondering questions like these about the bread and buns that you buy from bakeries outside: "The bread is so soft and fluffy! How did they do it?" "How can the bread stay so soft for so many days!!??" "Any secrets to homemade bread that can stay soft and fluffy for the rest of the week?"
Oh, well! I can't really think of that many questions on top of my head now. What I can tell you for sure though is that "secret ingredients" such as stabilizers, bread improvers, bread softeners and preservatives (e.g. xanthan gum and citric acid) are used for commercial bread and buns. Everyday at work, I have to go through and edit all the marketing and promotion materials for such ingredients. The more I read, the more shocking information I get! Man, this makes me think homemade bread and anything homemade are--HANDS DOWN--the BEST, HEALTHIEST and SAFEST!
At least, I'm glad that I can make my own bread from scratch. This ensures my family isn't consuming all those unwanted additives. But if you do happen to make your own bread, you often may end up asking, "How come my bread turns tough and dry in just 24 hours!?"
Let's say you've succeeded in making bread, this is very likely that the method you used was what we call the direct method (直接法) in Asian bread making. Bread made via this method almost always end up dry and hard the second day it was made. This is, in fact, the simplest method of all in the art and science of bread making.
Based on what I've learned over the last 2-1/2 years of baking and cooking, tangzhong, or the water-roux method (湯種法) is the best if what you're looking for is homemade bread that can retain its soft and fluffy texture as well as stay fresh for up to five days! Yes, you heard me right--no preservatives and all those "secret agents!" (Do note though other methods such as the 17-hour starter method [17小時麵包法] and starter method [中種法] work just as good--except they require more time and energy.)
The tangzhong method has been circulating in the Chinese baking community since Yvonne Chen's "Bread Doctor" from Taiwan (陳郁芬。《65C湯種麵包》。臺灣) was first published in 2003 or 2004. This was of course a rage in the Chinese blogging-baking community at first. Though the fever has faded, the method stays because it really works!!!
The secret to the success of this method lies in the tangzhong, or the water-roux starter (湯種). It was an ancient Chinese method used in the making of Chinese steamed buns (e.g. bao 包 and mantou 饅頭), dumplings (餃子), glutinous rice balls or tongyun (湯圓) and so forth. The Japanese recently revived the method, and it later became very popular in Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, Singapore, Malaysia and other Asia regions.
In Japanese, tangzhong means either a warm or thin starchy (flour-based) starter. Bread that's made with tangzhong is called tangzhong bread. So, how does it do the magic of producing bread that stays soft and fluffy longer without the addition of any "artificial ingredients?" As you cook the flour-water mixture for the tangzhong over gentle heat, the starch begins to react with the water via gelatinization. The mixture will subsequently thicken up as the starch traps and locks moisture from the water. The cooking will have to be stopped once the mixture has reached 65C.
Thus, incorporating tangzhong into your bread will give you a soft, fluffy bread that has fine crumbs and springy texture. On top of that, it has better anti-staling effect! ("Thermometer-less?" No worries, we can still enjoy tangzhong bread with just our own judgment. =) Read more and you'll find out how ...)
I hope you get the picture now. I've been using the tangzhong method for over 1-1/2 years and am loving it to bits! Here, you'll see how tangzhong is made and a keeper recipe that I've used. Because we prefer wholemeal, oatmeal and multigrain bread, I NORMALLY won't make any plain white bread because it's really not good for you. ;P
In the meantime, I'd like to tell all of you I finally have my first square-looking bread loaf after many painstaking attempts!! HAPPY, HAPPY! Except that I actually had to "trim" it due to my poor estimation. I filled the tin with too much dough that the dough overexpanded out of the tin LOL! You learn along the way, right?
Anyhow, to get a square-looking sandwich loaf, all you need is a Pullman loaf tin that comes with a lid. They can be easily acquired at the baking supplies stores here. Bread baked in Pullman loaf tins yields a really thin crust and fine crumbs. I absolutely heart it, man! I just feel so sorry for those living in the U.S. because these tins cost a bomb over there and they're not that readily available. =(
The following is the wholemeal tangzhong recipe from the book. It was SO good! I couldn't believe the texture of the bread came out soft, fluffy and springy while having fine crumbs. And, all these qualities actually kept for five days! I only had to microwave the final slice on the sixth day. I made a little over two loaves and they kept me through till my last working day of that week.
Simple sandwiches made with the bread and served with ham, cabbage, Cheddar cheese slices, ketchup, mayo, orange marmalade and butter brought me a simple sense of happiness and achievement that were inexplicable. I felt so happy as I had my breakfasts and lunch at work! Oh, dear! Can you taste some homemade goodness now?
Tangzhong, or the Water-Roux Starter 湯種
The flour-to-water ratio for tangzhong is always 1 (bread flour) : 5 (water). Thus for instance, you can make a batch of approximately 300g tangzhong with:
50g bread flour
250g water/milk
- Whisk (A) together till combined and lump-free, then heat this mixture over medium-low gentle heat in a saucepan--keep stirring continuously as you cook it
- Once the thermometer hits 65C--OR if you don't own a thermometer like I do, pay attention at all times. When the mixture starts to thicken up and once you can see "traces of line" with every stir that you make with a hand whisk--stop! This is tangzhong.
- Immediately remove from heat and transfer the tangzhong into another clean bowl; quickly cover with a piece of cling wrap sticking onto the surface of tangzhong to prevent a layer of "skin" from forming
- Leave it to cool completely aside before use; otherwise, it can always be refrigerated for up to two days--discard after that or even once it's turned gray (i.e. it's bad now.)
Just bring it to room temperature right before using it. (I'm not too sure about this, but I've heard that tangzhong that's been left to age in the fridge for up to 12 hours is better. Hope I've got time to try this out.)
- When it's about time to be used, measure out the amount needed to carry out the following steps in bread making
Makes two 22cm(L) x 10.5cm(W) x 10cm(H) loaves
** I'm posting this recipe almost word-by-word from the book. The reason being that you may have success with the dough rising almost to or over the rim of the loaf tin using the original recipe. In contrast, I've never had successful attempts at making a square loaf or over-the-rim height of a loaf with original recipes. I wish the same will never happen to you! **
280g bread flour
200g wholemeal flour
10g instant dried yeast
50g sugar
7g salt
60g egg, at room temperature and slightly beaten
140g milk, at room temperature
120g tangzhong, at room temperature
50g unsalted butter, slightly softened at room temperature
- Combine (A) together and make a well in the center, then whisk together (B); pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix till a dough has formed and pulls away from the sides of the mixing bowl
- Turn the dough out onto a surface and knead till gluten has developed, then knead in the butter till incorporated; further knead the dough till it's elastic and has reached the windowpane stage--i.e. a thin "membrane" can be formed by slowly, gently pulling the dough out towards opposite directions. It might take longer for the stickier wholemeal bread dough to reach this stage compared to plain white bread dough. But, DON'T SKIP this step!
- Round the dough up and place it into a greased bowl, cover and let it proof till it's doubled in size. To know whether it's doubled in size, dip your finger in some bread or plain flour and gently, slowly poke into the dough--of course, don't puncture it! If an indentation remains at where you poked your finger in, this means proofing is sufficient; otherwise, if that spot bounces back, let it proof further till the dough is doubled in size
- On a lightly floured working surface, deflate and divide the dough into four equal portions, with each weighing 220g (approximately,) then round up and cover them to let rest for 15 minutes
- To each of the portion of the dough, flatten it up and roll out into a rough oval-olive or rectangular shape with a lightly floured rolling pin. Next, roll it up tightly from the shorter ends the Swiss roll-style; pinch ends to seal the dough tightly. It might be slightly challenging to shape wholemeal bread dough. During the entire process, lightly dust your hands with flour, if and as necessary.
Arrange rolled-up dough in a greased Pullman loaf tin starting from the center; repeat the same with the remaining portions of the dough. Arrange the loaf tin with those rolled-up portions of the dough till filled up--leaving some room in between each for expansion later on
** OK, I've read that some of you are having trouble with bread that doesn't reach the rim of a 22cm(L) x 10.5cm(W) x 10cm (H) Pullman loaf tin after the second round of proofing and/or baking. The author of the recipe does indicate that wholemeal bread dough doesn't rise as much as plain white bread dough does. Plus, I actually never follow the--or, any--bread loaf recipes to the "T." When I'm aiming for a square or any super tall loaf that can actually rise almost to or over the rim of the loaf tin, I always make sure the dough placed into the loaf tin actually has:
- 1/3 or a little over 1/3 the height of the loaf tin, for a square loaf;
- at least 1/2 the height of the loaf tin, for a bread loaf that has "humps" (i.e. its height is taller than the height of the loaf tin.) **
- Cover with a piece of cling wrap and let the dough proof till it's reached 80% of the capacity of the loaf tin. (If you want a square loaf, cover the tin--leaving 4~5cm of of "hole" for you to peek in--with the lid that comes with the Pullman loaf tin before the second round of proofing--it should be right underneath the piece of cling wrap.)
- For those who are baking a square loaf, slide the lid to cover the tin fully. For those who don't plan on using the lid to make a square loaf, you can brush the loaf with some slightly beaten egg if you want a glossy finish to the bread.
- Bake at 180C for 30 minutes or till the bread is golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and immediately unmold the bread onto wire rack to let it cool completely. Slice to serve or store airtight once it's thoroughly cooled
Because of the extra dough, I did something really weird with it and it ended up with a very awkward, funny shape LOL!

State Invests $30.5 Million in New State-of-the-Art Facility
FRUITLAND, Md. (April 19, 2013) — Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown, joined by Wicomico County Executive Rick Pollitt, State Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lillian Lowery, Salisbury Mayor James Ireton, and other state and local officials, today participated in a ceremonial groundbreaking for the new Bennett Middle School in Fruitland. The project is being supported in part by $30.5 million in state funding.
"Today, we're breaking ground not just on a new Bennett Middle School, but on a new chapter for this community," said Lt. Governor Brown. "Over the past six years, we've made record investments in our schools because we have a responsibility to ensure that all of our children have the opportunity get a good education and succeed. As we look to the future, the new Bennett Middle School will provide a safe and productive environment for both our students and our educators."
"Few moments in the life of a community hold more promise than the groundbreaking for a new school," said State Superintendent Dr. Lowery. "This occasion is the culmination of a team effort by the Governor and Lt Governor, local officials, and the citizens of Wicomico County to make this happen. We are excited to be part of this venture to bring state-of-the art classrooms to the children of Salisbury."
The original Bennett Middle School was constructed in 1966. A feasibility study completed in 2005 determined that the existing facility needed to be replaced due to a number of issues including physical limitations of existing structure to accommodate new instructional programs, lack of HVAC, fire suppression, technology systems, and an energy inefficient building enclosure coupled with compliance issues. Additionally, due to overcrowding, the school is currently using twelve portable classroom units.
"The Bennett Middle School family is so excited about the construction of our new building," said Bennett Middle School Principle Liza Hastings. "The faculty, staff, and parents are passionate about challenging our students every day to be the best that they can be. This project will allow us to reach student needs in all new ways and, as a result, prepare them to be leaders of the 21st century. I am so glad that I am a part of a community that values education, our children, and our future. Our students deserve nothing less!"
The new facility, expected to be completed in August 2015, is designed to support a growing student population and enhance the educational experience by implementing many of the programmatic needs and physical accommodations consistent with a modern, high performance educational environment. Some of the highlighted features include a geothermal ground source heating and cooling system and photovoltaic solar panels. The site plan preserves 4.8 acres of woodland and by using submerged gravel wetlands and rain gardens to preserve local environment and prevent storm water runoff. The school will also be located on a future Shore Transit bus line with sidewalks connecting to surrounding housing in order to reduce car use and strengthen existing communities. The project has been designed according to U.S. Green Building Design LEED Silver Certification standards.
With the new James M. Bennett High School that opened in 2011, as well as the earlier replacement and renovations of the North Salisbury Elementary School and Prince Street Elementary School, Wicomico County Public Schools have taken significant steps toward achieving a high quality contemporary learning environment.
"The new Bennett Middle School is the result of a tremendous expression of public support from our own community coupled with an unprecedented investment by the O'Malley-Brown Administration on behalf of public school construction. It's the perfect example of what State and county partnership can achieve when we work together," said County Executive Rick Pollitt.
Despite making more cuts to state spending than any previous administration, Governor O'Malley and Lt. Governor Brown have chosen to make targeted investments in priorities like education and job creation. The FY2014 Budget enacted by the General Assembly includes $325 million for the Public School Construction Program, including $25 million for air conditioning in schools. The total school construction commitment under the O'Malley-Brown Administration to replace temporary learning shacks with modern, state-of-the-art 21st Century classrooms now stands at nearly $2.4 billion.
