Narrator: This is Science Today. If you picture in your mind's eye an elephant, an aardvark and a golden mole, you probably wouldn't have guessed that these creatures evolved from a single African ancestor more than 65 million years ago. But that's just what biologist Mark Springer of the University of California, Riverside says their sophisticated molecular data indicates.
Springer: There's no previous work, no previous hint based on morphology that all of these things should be closely related to each other. So this really came as a surprise and I think a lot of the traditional morphological community was a bit upset with this! I think their attitude was that this was some wacky hypothesis that was just going to go away - but it hasn't gone away!
Narrator: In fact, using advances in DNA technology, Springer says they're continuing to sequence additional genes - including in different orders of species - and the support keeps getting stronger and stronger.
Springer: From the perspective of geography, it makes some sense. You've got a whole lot of things - a whole lot of orders of mammals that originated in Africa and they seem to be each other's closest relatives.
Science Today, I'm Larissa Branin.

"I used this invitation for my sons First Communion and I loved the quality of the paper and its beautiful design. Also I love that I was able to personalized it with different font and colors. When I showed my son his invitations he was very excited and loved them. The delivery was super fast and shipped well wraped. I highly recommend this and will defenately will shop again with tinyprints for my next event."
"I used this design for invitations to my son's Baptism (just edited the text). It turned out beautifully. The interlace design is gorgeous. For the price, I was very impressed with the quality of the paper and printing. The one detractor (and it may only be that I need glasses) is that I didn't realize the blue background isn't a solid color. It has minor variations, almost like water spots, that I didn't notice on my computer screen. I'm still very happy with the product, and the background variations give the overall look of the card a softer appearance."
"I really liked this card. I sampled the regular and heavy weight paper. The regular paper was just fine. The heavy paper was unbendable and I wouldn't go with that."
"This invitation is very simple but fits the job perfectly! It is not flashy or showy - simple and to the point!! The quality of the paper and the color are also perfect. We were very pleased that the order came in quicker than expected."
"I was very pleased from the timely delivery to the high quality paper of the invitation. The card was beautifully made and I used there recommendations for font style. The only thing I made changes to is with the style it had all print in lowercase so I went through to capitalize all names. I just love my card!"

You didn't think the election of Barack Obama to the U.S. presidency got us out of the danger posed by the greed-capitalism of the Reagan-Bush era, did you? President Obama is facing a tremendous challenge to try and right the economic and political ship of state that was so pummeled by right-wing selfishness. After World War I economic disaster struck the world harshly when European and American government officials allowed banks and industry to call the shots, and government was left to try and protect the general populace. When there was an outcry in the Western World growing to give voice and relief to the common people, here is what happened...
Henry Ford, the DuPont family, and other American industrialists tried to stem the tide of a growing progressive plea by the masses of people who began to suffer deeply. Ford supported the early efforts of Adolf Hitler, and schemed to hold down this mounting revolution of the populace. DuPont schemed to overthrow the elected administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and set up a fascist state in the U.S. Charles Lindbergh, a real right-wing fascist himself, supported Hitler and Mussolini. The right-wing, conservative elements in the U.S. and Europe tried their best to establish a fascist government and society. Hitler and Mussolini rose to power as the people saw in them some hope to correct the economic mess and stem unbridled inflation. Big business and industry supported these two demagogues. Hitler even saw an advantage in naming his movement National Socialism [Nazi]. It was not anything remotely akin to socialism, it was a horrible government run by German industrialists using this crazed former corporal, Hitler, to achieve their ends. German and Italian industry boomed as an unprecedented war machine was built to conquer the world. Chase Manhattan Bank flourished in its Paris office as it was used by the occupying Hitler regime.. The Ford Motor Co. flourished in Germany building trucks for the German army. European and American banking interests met regularly in Switzerland to fund this fascist war machine.
End of the Road
The future of the American car industry is in serious jeopardy. The origin of the demise of General Motors certainly began within. It moved too slowly, its products are priced too high, its quality was perceived as being too low. One would think that a company as large as General Motors who has been able to withstand recession and boom times for about 100 years may have finally met its match. Another mistake was turning to the United States government for aid. Or is it a bailout?
Last week's forced resignation of the chairman of General Motors, Rick Waggoner, comes as a surprise if not a shock. At first, we don't know what to think. Is it the beginning of the end? And how soon will they end arrive? Then, we step back and analyze the situation and assess that may be Rick Waggoner may not be the right person to head General Motors at this time. However, what I find troubling is that it is the White House that forced his resignation. Politicians are now expected to have better judgment to lead an automobile industry than people who have been in the industry for decades. Obama did not like his plan for the future. Well, it was never reported what Obama was looking for. One can only speculate. Was he looking for the end of the gasoline powered car in a short couple of years to be completely replaced by electric automobiles?
ENDORSEMENTS: PROMOTE JUDGE LIPSCOMB. Also, Watts, Abrahamson, Evers, Franklin and Franklin
Not that I actually have influence, but given my rather inflated sense of self-importance, I figure that if I present my endorsements to my viewers today, I can at least feel that I have influence. With that said, here are my endorsements for the Spring election, all of which are non partisan (although you might have trouble believing it).
Let's start with Branch 6 Circuit Court Judge. Christopher Lipscomb's the guy. With 17 years of experience as a municipal prosecutor, as well as a wide-ranging private practice and elective experience as a municipal judge, Lipscomb is the guy. I don't know how or why his competition, Brostrom, has been able to play the experienced prosecutor card, given that her prosecutorial experience consists of only a two month stint in the DA's office. Whatever. She's probably well-versed, savvy, and a true community leader. Those qualities are all great. But for breadth of knowledge, experience, and prior judicial experience, Lipscomb gets the edge. Promote Judge Lipscomb.
As we scan back in American history, people whose perspective was right-wing or conservative or fundamentalist were usually people who had a more privileged or comfortable existence. Their selfishness proclaimed conservatism at its core because they wanted things to remain just as they were: with them in their comfort zone. This meant that sharing was not at the center of their thought or living. So, what they viewed as threats to their selfish, comfortable world were: taxes, equality, help for the needy or poor or unfortunate, immigration, people whose color or ethnicity was "different," sharing, rights for everyone, guaranteed healthcare, etc. Almost an endless set of excuses were formulated to preserve the status quo at any "price." The "general welfare" was considered socialistic talk and below the favored class.
To protect the people of means or the major ethnic or racial groups, we fostered a strong military. With a strong military to preserve the advantage of the wealthy in America, they got to keep and hold onto their privilege AND spending huge sums on the military meant industrialists and their ilk would have their palms greased further. To question any of this was considered "UnAmerican" or "unpatriotic." And so it goes.
Barry Gaffeagain Goes On Tour
President Barack Obama took his first European trip as president of the United States. Of course, the liberal media is touting this as a huge success. It would be an even larger success of Air Force One were to come back empty.
The liberal media is tingling all over itself reporting on how well President Obama was received in Europe. He was welcomed with open arms as a fresh alternative to George Bush. But what is getting swept under the rug is the embarrassment and offenses Obama is giving to the American people. Calling the American people arrogant and selfish, in so many words, should be an insult to the citizens of this country. And it is an insult. The citizens of this country have afforded him the opportunity to become a great president at this time of great challenge. But, Obama is in over his head.
Lady Bird and Lyndon, Pat and Dick, Betty and Gerald, Roseanne and Jimmy, Whatshername and Ronny, Barbara and George, Hillary and Bill, Laura and Junior. Not exactly a classy group. Is that the best the United States can do? Each duo had their missteps, some were monumental tumbles. The last U.S. president had trouble using the English language. Barack and Michelle did not get into academically prestigous universities because their fathers pulled strings. They EARNED their way there. And they came from circumstances that are much more akin to the average American's life. Yet they bring class personified to their positions of President and First Lady. And it shows in all things.
George W. Bush was an embarrassment standing next to world leaders. He is/was a buffoon. Lacking intellect, grace, style, insight, good judgement, and class, yet coming from a privileged background, he mangled the language, made some absolutely horrible decisions, lied to his country and the world. did as much in private as allowed [and beyond], condoned torture. drove us into a financial swamp, and became a sorry, laughing stock. And that was not in the style of an Abraham Lincoln! Exactly the opposite of the rail-splitter.

What is Wrong with Home Ownership
The idea of homeownership is taking a beating recently. The economic crisis which has caused our current recession is blamed from having its roots based in homeownership gone awry. I can agree with and only partially. The people who have bought homes who could not afford what they were getting into should shoulder some of the blame. As should people who speculated and bought mortgages with interest-only terms banking on a rapid appreciation of the home value in some sort of get-rich-quick scheme should also bear responsibility. Yet, people are coming out with ideas saying that homeownership is not for everyone in the Bush administration should not have convinced Americans to achieve the American dream of home ownership.
For people calling for changes in the tax law that will eliminate the itemized inductions of property taxes and interest on mortgages which will further a road home ownership in the United States. The tax code should still allow for the deduction of interest and property taxes. Wanting a home should still be viewed as the American dream. Well, it's time to ask a few questions. If people are not to own their own homes, who will own where they are living? I certainly hope it wouldn't be greedy capitalists or absentee landlords. Until the housing crisis, people were beginning to think that they could only go into a huge McMansion or a house that they would be expected to live in for the rest of their lives. Don't people begin with starter homes anymore? What about the idea of starting out with a smaller house, and when you can afford it, moving up? A generation ago, people worked for things, saved, and when they could afford them, bought them. They did not over extend their credit. They did not have everything at once. Once people worked hard, and rewarded themselves by buying something that they really wanted, it was more appreciated. Today, people's basements and garages are full of crap that they bought because they thought they wanted it, yet when it came time to use it, it really wasn't needed. Because it was bought on credit, there was no appreciation for the item. This became a lifestyle.
Free mulch available at the Recycling Center; Village now offers mulch delivery to your home for a fee.Residents are encouraged to take advantage of the free mulch that is available at the Recycling Center located just off Fairy Chasm. Starting Monday, the Village will begin offering an additional service for residents to obtain mulch. The Village will now offer the delivery of five yards of mulch for $75. The mulch will be delivered in 5 yard increments, and each separate delivery is a $75 charge.
By any measure, President Barack Obama's first days in office have been a huge success. Not only has he had to immediately jump in to try and fix a financial mess of epic proportions that was inherited from Bush, but myriad other problems confront him from the last 8 years and longer. While it is well to keep in perspective what was turned over to him from the neocons, we should move past it. But the right-wing nutcases won't allow that to happen. They want him to fail, and they will make every little misstep become a tragic headline. Imagine a shady, slithery drug user like Rush Limbaugh saying, "I hope he fails." Imagine Newt Gingrich, who fooled around with aides and other women in Washington, passing judgment on Obama. Imagine a snake like Dick Cheney criticizing Obama. Think of the gall of these hypocrites.
Nevertheless let us celebrate President Obama's recent trip to Europe and the Middle East. It was monumentally amazing after the disaster for America that the past 8 years have been. The world over, people think the U.S. has finally come to its senses with the election of Obama. But the neocon vultures continue to circle. They are so ignorant and envious that it would be easy to dismiss them. But they have fooled so many Americans, that it is dangerous to underplay their role. And they have deep pockets that will buy them more influence. Democracy teeters as long as these right-wngers plot and circle.
The Sorry President
It began with the mea culpa tour in Europe. Barack Obama was apologizing to all the nations of Europe because the United States had been poor cosmopolitans citizens. President Obama met with many foreign leaders and apologized on behalf of the United States for what he believes were mistakes in our history. He then went to Turkey and cleared the United States was not a Christian nation. Now, don't mistake me for one of those Bible thumping people who wish to replace the science textbooks with the Old Testament, but what can we expect next? The end of Christmas is a national holiday? No more Easter egg rolls for the children at the White House?
United States does not need to establish a national religion to defend the facts that this country was founded on Judeo-Christian beliefs. Although it is in the Constitution, the Obama administration wants to grant itself authority that goes far beyond the Constitution. Take a look at a coin in your pocket, if you have any left after the tax increases proposed and enacted by the Democrats, and you may still see the words in God we trust. Will the liberal agenda be far behind in trying to pass a new stimulus bill that will have buried in it a law requiring the words in God we trust removed from the currency? It can then have Allah engraved on it unless Jeremiah Wright tells them differently.
Among my academic credentials is a M.A. degree in history from a university of some note. Therefore I am more aware than the average person of what scholarship is. I clearly know the difference between opinion and primary source material. I distinctly know the difference between opinion based at least on some factual information and support, and blatant distortions of truth. I know the difference between Fox News and the New York Times, or between NPR news and Rush Limbaugh, or between Rupert Murdoch and the BBC. When one enters the blog world or cyberspace generally, these differences begin to blur to various degrees. People think that if it is on the 'net it must have some basis in fact; it often does not have even a remote connection to fact. The Encyclopedia Brittanica states clearly that it intends to present information based on fact as much as is possible, Wikipedia states up-front that its source material is from questionable sources. If you do not know the clear difference in the aforementioned, you live in a world fraught with ignorance. Period.
So, my blog represents to me [and to you] a statement of my opinions. Occasionally I will give some reliable source to document what I write here, but generally I state my OPINION. That is what a blog is. It is not a historical document. I am moved to state clearly, though, that I never intentionally lie or distort facts as I know them. On many issues in the political-social-economic areas there may be at least two sides to any given issue. However it is not necessarily closer to the actual truth to simply give a conservative and a liberal viewpoint on an issue. That is a mistake often made in an attempt to be "balanced" in presenting the news or the interpretation of the news. In most cases it is better than being one-sided, say like Fox News is, but it may only be window-dressing on a very serious, deep subject that requires much more than two stated opinions. But the intention of blogs generally is not to give balanced or historical accounts.
Jim Doyle is Scared . . . already
It's hard to believe that the election for governor is still a year and a half away. At that time will be a deluged with a media blitz that will be replete with muckraking, character assassinations, and mudslinging. Good old politics in Wisconsin. Although no candidates have announced yet, it is expected that Jim Doyle will be looking for a third term, and Scott Walker will be seeking the Republican nomination. Yet already, the Democrats have come out with a television commercial already aimed at Scott Walker.
Well, it doesn't take much to scare a coward. And Jim Doyle is as yellow bellied as they come. He has absolutely no backbone when it comes to responsible spending and fiscal control. He has been governor through budget after budget that has huge deficits in it. Back in 2002, he ran on a platform pledging to not raise taxes in Wisconsin. But, because he is as pusillanimous as can be, he now has to qualify his statements as being 'not raising the sales tax', 'not raising income tax on low-wage earners', and after that, he has run all of ways to spin a simple statement to not be an obvious lie. So what is left for Jim Doyle? He now has to begin taking apart the character of his would-be opponents. I guess when you're left with no integrity, no moral compass, and no political honor, you have to make your opponent look worse than you in order for you to look good. And for Jim Doyle, he is so ugly that he has to put a lot of effort into making himself look good by making others look worse. But remember, beauty is only skin deep. Integrity goes to the bone.
When will America ever mature? Our lack of civilized behavior is showing...
Who demanded we shift totally to HD television? We have clearer pictures and worse content. I sensed no public demand..
As Susan Boyle walked out on the stage of Britain's TV show similar to "American Idol." she looked to many that she didn't belong in such a venue. The three judges sat stoically. Ms. Boyle looked frumpy, unpolished, older, the antithesis of Vogue magazine. In the U.S. we were quick to be told that she had "never been kissed."
As she began to sing a song from "Les Miserables," the audience was stunned, shocked, awed, and immediately got very supportive of the woman singing with such a magnificent popular voice. The judges looked overwhelmed. It was electrifying. Instant stardom. I must ask this question: why?
As you ponder the ongoing tragedies surrounding the victims of Hurricane Karina, as you get angry when you think former President George Bush thought it was enough to fly over the disaster and go "tsk, tsk," as you ponder what will happen when the next disaster hits the U.S., consider the following. After reading the quotes below, you will get the connection, but the American media missed it entirely. The media focused on Brad Pitt and other celebrities walking around the ravaged neighborhoods, TV and newspapers pondered the inability of the levees to handle the hurricanes surge, but nothing was said about the lack of sufficient National Guard help in New Orleans. Where was the National Guard?
"National Guard troops are deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan in historic numbers. Will states finally demand an end to the costly practice of using citizen-soldiers to fight overseas wars?" -"Worldwide WAMM" - April, 2009 issue, page 1
Party On
When I first heard of the April 15 tea parties, I thought they were just some low-profile propaganda began by Fox news. I thought the most popular one could be held in somebody's living room and be attended by the same number of people who would have someone like Mitt Romney over for a campaign stop. As it turned out, it was a lot bigger than that. Yet, how they were received along with their effectiveness is judged purely politically.
Liberals have been complaining for over a year that it took George Bush eight years to undo the economic gains of the last 10. Yet however unpopular George Bush was at the end of his term, Barack Obama may be heading in the same direction only a lot faster. Yes, it's time to stop blaming Bush for how things are being handled by the Obama administration. Although the economy was heading into recession towards the end of the Bush years, the deterioration of the American economy has accelerated since January. The amount of money being spent by the Obama administration is mind-boggling. And yes, it's only been 90 days. Yet the amount and scope of government money that is going to be wasted by design in the so-called stimulus bills cannot restore confidence in middle-class America.

Unlike President Obama, and unlike the loyal Gestapo neocons, many of us think George W. Bush and Dick Cheney should be put on trial for crimes against the U.S. Constitution, torture, lying to the voters, breaking international agreements, an illegal war, and a host of other things. If this is not prosecuted, future presidents and administration officials may do whatever they deem necessary to get what they want. This is how fascism works. And for underlings to simply say they were carrying out orders is not an excuse; it wasn't at Nuremburg for Hitler's officials, and it shouldn't be now. There are Republicans, Democrats, Greens, independents, etc. who want Bush and Cheney put in the dock. The following people and organizations endorsed putting Bush-Cheney on trial...[a small sampling of signees]
Is Jim Doyle Saving Money?
With a $5 billion deficit for the biennial Wisconsin budget, Jim Doyle and the Democrats are doing everything they can to see if they can sneak tax increases out of the citizens of this state. Yet he knows an election year is coming, and he is nervous already because he is deciding to run character assassin ads about a prospective opponent. Budget after budget of huge tax increases is finally getting noticed. With huge federal budgets and even huger deficits at the federal level, increasing taxes is becoming unpopular. The state missed its chance to do huge increases when they were popular to do so. So now what is next? Budget cuts?
Well, Jim Doyle might be forced to do what he finds personally and morally reprehensible to do -- cut some spending. One of the proposed ways that Jim Doyle is going to be saving state money is the early release of so-called nonviolent felons. Wouldn't that improve life here in Wisconsin? Taking people that be labeled as lawbreakers and deserving to be taken from society for a period of time in punishment for their crime and putting them back out on the streets. I'm not seeing lock everybody up and throw away the key who is ever been convicted, but how many lines have to be screwed up before people realize that sometimes taking away your freedom can be a solution. The liberals in Wisconsin certainly aren't going to call for the death penalty. But who wants child molesters living next to them? It should be the same people who picket abortion clinics saying every life is precious.

There will come a moment we have to visit a clinic or hospital for a check-up. If there's no requirement for doctors or nurses to get blood from you, you'd be fortunate. However not many individuals are that fortunate. The best ones would need to have their blood obtained even just once in their lives. This will be significant since our blood is used to analyze if we could have some disorders. But if you aren't really considering just how much blood will be obtained or maybe if it'll hurt; rather how to obtain blood, then chances are you are interested in being a phlebotomist. Nevertheless, what are the methods on how to become a phlebotomist? A phlebotomist is the one that obtains blood samples from patients just as advised earlier. Becoming a phlebotomist may very well be a crucial job when we think about it. Specialists can't evaluate blood samples if there is nobody to get it from patients. In that case, it might be too late to learn when we indeed have ailments which is somewhat risky. It could be very easy to get blood actually obviously; nonetheless it will be a really painful as well as messy way.
Thus enable professionals carry out their designated work and ignore the attempt of obtaining blood all on your own. Yet again, precisely what are issues to know on how to become a phlebotomist? In case you are interested in becoming a phlebotomist, you most likely have some questions. These thoughts are most likely these: initially, must you possess some unique traits or characteristics? Then what sort of educations should you have? What subjects should you be great at?
Firstly, you do would require a trait but it is not really unheard of. You should have long patience and also a good personality. After all, you'd be getting blood from different types of people and you should know how to approach them especially little ones.For the next question, you could check out a phlebotomist school immediately after high school or college. You can commonly stay there for six months to a full year with regards to the qualification that you need.
This particular education will aid all you need to learn about how to become a phlebotomist. Naturally, you'd learn how to get blood from folks of different age ranges. You can also learn laboratory safety and also first-aid in case there are urgent matters. You'd normally have to focus on your biology as you have to understand well how your body functions. It's also wise to acquire great grades on your chemistry as you need to know how certain chemical substances react to blood. This is very important in terms of examining blood samples. One more thing you have to remember with how to become a phlebotomist; you shouldn't be scared of blood. With all those courses and knowledge, everything can be worthless if one drop of blood is enough to make you vomit. Therefore possessing a strong stomach could actually be crucial. Love your job and make sure it is something you do want to do. If it's not actually just what you first had in mind as a career, still be certain that it is something that you could still see yourself doing.

OK, so here is the deal. My family is really, REALLY, religious (Southern Baptist) and I slowly separated myself from their beliefs for the past 5-6 years until about a year ago where I am a full blown anti-theist. As one might expect, this has caused tension with my family (they don't know that I no longer believe in god, they just think that I am a horrible Xtain). This came to a head about 8 months ago when I posted on facebook (oh wonderful facebook, the place to go for drama) that I support gay rights and that they should have the right to marry and such. While this got a lot of positive feed back from my friends, my two (lets call them Cain and Able lol) brothers started posting things such as its a mental illness and that god does not approve and such. Their posts of course received a lot of negative responses and while Cain backed off (to fight another, less public day), Able kept right at it, even going so far as to call my friends and myself some kinda ugly names (liberal crap head [lol], embarrassment to the family, dumb, unintelligent, etc) After the name calling started it got really ugly as one can imagine. Able is also a police officer and he also said things like how the police are anti-gay and other things that could really get one in trouble. Believe it or not, Able's facebook was then "hacked" and he had to delete his account.
All this led to a phone conversation I had with Able were he called me more names (little bitch being the most common) where he decided that we just weren't going to see each anymore. Time went by very peacefully for me, except for my father telling me that I needed for forgive Able and such and me ignoring him and telling him that if Able wants forgiveness then he has to call me and apologize. Anyway, a couple of weekends ago I come to find out that my aunt and uncle were up to see my step-mom graduate, I couldn't go to the graduation because it was mother's day and I didn't think that my mother would appreciate me going to see my step-mother on her day. They had a huge family dinner, and since my bother was up, I didn't find out about my relations even being in the state until after they had all left. I confronted my father about keeping me in the dark and basically lying to me and he said that it wasn't to hurt me, just to not cause drama.
I happen to feel that they are taking his side after all the shit he said about me and I am the one being punished, not him. Should I not be feeling this way? I am just...I don't know how to say what I am, just...empty...over this experience. I feel let down and abandoned by my family, I wanted to "come out" about my atheistic beliefs (I knew it would be a big deal and I would probably loose them, but I had hope that they would just love me anyway) but I feel that after this experience I really can't because then I really would be viewed as the worst person ever and they would shun me. And while I love my husband and his family (they are much more open minded, my husband is an atheist as well) I don't know if I could stand being cut off from everyone in my family.
So I guess, what do you think about this situation and is there any advice on how I should deal with them?

Texan is the only language I know that turns one-syllable words into two-syllable words. "Jim" becomes, "Jee-um"!
Being from Texas is not a bad thing - being far from Texas is an even better thing.
Have you considered re-titling this discussion, "The Ties That Blind"?
Hey hey hey now ... I may not be from Texas, but I got here as fast as I could! I love the area. Of course, I live in Houston, which is considerably more socially liberal (for the most part) than most of the rural areas. We are the largest city in the US to have elected an openly lesbian mayor, also.
I got more surprise from revealing my non-heterosexuality than revealing my non-Christian side. Of course, I have a reasonable open-minded family (from what I can tell, at least).
My dad used to say the same thing! Until he had to come back up...I loved Texas while living there, and I still love to visit but I don't think I will ever be able to move back...my husband would die from the heat...that and he can't stand their accent.
And hehe that's a good one.
Hey Davyd (sorry for the "David," I didn't notice the different spelling) - I don't consider any part of any state having a seacoast to have any connection to Texas. (dated a girl once in Galveston, and spent a week with another in a motel (Cody's) in Port Aransas - had dinner with the Mayor, who drove me to the airport - think he was trying to tell me something?) - I love coastal Texas.
Going to have dinner with my dad and step-mom Friday. I took the cowards way out and made it in a public place, that way if the conversation gets too out of hand I won't have to deal with as much yelling and crying and can make a very quick exit if need be. I also gave my husband one hell of a guilt trip so he will come (sorry love) even if it is under protest ...and he makes no promises to be nice. But I told him I would buy him alcohol and ribs to keep him happy (I know you are reading this XD).
"alcohol and ribs"? Add sex to that, and speaking from experience, no man could resist! (Face it, we're weak!!!!!)
HA! ...depending on how it goes I just might...
Best of luck to you, Amanda. Please, let us know how it turns out.

McGinn sets sights on Hampden appearance
Niall McGinn has targeted a William Hill Scottish Cup final appearance at Hampden this season, but knows an in-form Motherwell stand in Aberdeen's way of progressing through Saturday's fourth-round tie at Pittodrie.
The Northern Ireland international came close to playing at the national stadium with former club Celtic, whom he left for the Dons in the summer, making the squad on a couple of occasions.
Buoyed by eight goals for Aberdeen this season in an unfamiliar centre-forward role, the 25-year-old is looking to take the next step with Craig Brown's side, although he is wary of the in-form Steelmen who have won their last three away games.
``It is a period of transition for us, in a couple of years we want to be challenging for trophies on a regular basis, that is what the fans deserve,'' McGinn told Press Association Sport.
``But it would be nice to get to Hampden this season, that is a personal goal of mine.
``I was in a few Celtic squads for semi-finals and finals but never got to play there so that would be extra special.
``I played in cup finals with Derry City and my first club Dungannon Swifts reached a cup final, although I was disappointed to be left out for that.
``It was disappointing to go out of the League Cup to St Mirren so we want to go as far as we can in this competition.
``But we can't look past Motherwell. They are doing very well at the moment and come off a couple of great results against Inverness and Dundee United, so they will be on a high.
``Everyone knows the importance of the game. It is going to be a typical cup tie and it would be nice to get the first goal to settle us.
``We were down 3-1 to Motherwell earlier in the season at Pittodrie in the league and had to fight hard to get back to 3-3, so we know how difficult it will be.''
After being a bit-part player at Celtic Park, McGinn is thriving on regular football and the added responsibility which comes with a new-found reputation for scoring.
``I'm delighted to be playing week-in, week-out and it is always nice to chip in with a goal,'' said October's Clydesdale Bank Premier League player of the month.''
Motherwell manager Stuart McCall has total confidence in second-choice goalkeeper Lee Hollis as he prepares to make his third appearance for the club.
Hollis will play for the first time in 14 months at Pittodrie after Darren Randolph was handed a two-match ban for his clash with Hearts striker Callum Paterson.
The 24-year-old has rarely been seen in a Motherwell jersey since his move from Airdrie in summer 2010. He made his debut in a 4-0 defeat at Celtic Park six days before the teams met in the 2011 cup final and played in a victory over Clyde by the same scoreline in the Scottish Communities League Cup last season.
But McCall insisted he had ``100%'' confidence in the player for the fourth-round clash.
``Lee got a two-year deal in the summer and he has only played a couple of times for us,'' the Fir Park boss said. ``That's how much faith we have in him.
``Every team I've been at, when you've eight-a-sides normally a team will want to be with the first-choice goalkeeper.
``For example at Rangers, you had Andy Goram and at half-time you didn't want to change around.
``Here it doesn't matter if Darren is in goal or Lee is in goal because Lee is excellent at shot-stopping.
``Lee has been a great number two because he has pushed Darren all the way, hence Darren's consistency levels have been first class. He has an excellent temperament, I have no worries at all of him playing.
``Even at Parkhead, although we lost four goals it could've been eight or nine other than Lee, and he played against Clyde and was terrific as well.
``It's not as though he is a young boy. Although he has not had a lot of match experience, he has a good head for it.''
McCall had no complaints over Randolph's ban, despite the club sending goalkeeping coach Gordon Marshall to Hampden to fight his case, but he was surprised that Scottish Football Association compliance officer Vincent Lunny had instigated action after referee Crawford Allan took none during the game.
``I thought if the referee sees it, then he deems the punishment,'' McCall said. ``We got done last season for Steve Jennings and big (Michael) Higdon for things the referee has not seen.''
Motherwell have not lost in the SPL against Aberdeen since 2008, before Mark McGhee and later Craig Brown left the club to take over at Pittodrie.

Nnamdi is looking for a SB ring, and very well could get one in 2013. The 49ers are loaded at every position.
Got to get by the Seahawks first.
@island_guy67 I think that the 49ers are better than the Seahawks.
@island_guy67 @John4 Other way around- Niners are the 2 time defending NFC West champs, been in the NFC title game last 2 years and Super Bowl last year. People should be saying that the Seahawks need to get past the Niners first before earning all their praise, not that the Niners have to prove themselves against the Hawks.

Catering >Gaylord India Special Events - Private Party & Banquets
50 N La Cienega Blvd, Beverly Hills, CA | Directions 9021134.066902 -118.375919
Sun - Thu 5:30pm - 10:30pm
Fri - Sat 5:30pm - 11:30pm
Neighborhoods: Beverly Hills
YUM!! – Let me tell you something, I'm telling everyone about this place, which is now called Tanzore. I wish I lived closer, I'd be here all the time. The service is impeccable - friendly and timely. The food and desserts are perfectly seasoned and presented. Try the Samososa, they are quite tasty. I had a Charbay Green Tea Mojito - super refreshing. The colors of the restaurant are rich and inviting. And if you are waiting for friends you can watch a fashion show. Get in now before you won't be able to, this is a true treasure. I will visit Tanzore and their lovely staff everytime I'm in LA!!
Best Indian in LA, hands down. – I just have to say, this place is great! It is the gold standard, in Los Angeles, as far as I'm concerned, when it comes to Indian cuisine. It's all about authenticity here, from the menu, to the food itself. I was here for a banquet party the other night, and I was really impressed. The food was so fresh, and the service was great too. I can't imagine going anywhere else for great, authentic Indian food in LA.
Great authentic flavors, friendly, and some surprises – A friend recommended dinner at Gaylord since it had been years since he had been there. We were craving authentic Indian food, and Gaylord definitely delivered with a new spin. The four of us were warmly received and seated in their banquet room which was a bit odd-- we figured out why when Sam, the maitre d' explained the construction of the new restaurant next door, Tanzore. Our friendly server, Devin, said they'd be opening in a few weeks-- actually the menu had the new Tanzore dishes, not really fusion but Indian specialties I hadn't seen at other Indian restaurants: chatpate aloo, hariyali murgh, a bright herb-marinated chicken appetizer, really good! (Went surprisingly well with my chardonnay.) They also had the classics: tandoori dishes, dal makhani, different naan and flatbreads.
The naan and pranthra arrived very warm, straight out of the tandoor oven. We had ordered some starters including some deliciously spiced seekh kebabs, not too spicy but intensely flavored. We were especially raving over the kabuli naan which has a sort of sweet rose and nut filling, a cooling foil for the roasted meats and their spices. My friend has been eating curry dishes and vindaloo for years so he ordered the lamb which had authentic kick, perfect for more yogurt raitha and kabuli to tame the chilies. The presentation was stylish, much more modern than traditional Indian dishes. Fish? Amazingly moist sea bass even though it was roasted in the tandoor, giving it a slightly crisp crust. All the entrees were fantastic.
We went for some classic desserts (gulab jamun, a tapioca pudding with basil syrup which was rather plain) while I tried the chocolate lava cake with cardamom. Dark, melty, warm, spiced, the chefs know their chocolate! If this is a sample of what's to come at Tanzore, we're definitely coming back for more-- overall a great dinner with unique surprises & flavors.
I Was Reborn – I have been reborn! Wow! Went to Gaylord after not having had Indian food for years and fell in love again.
It was kind of hard to find at first, housed in a big black building on Restaurant Row, but then I saw a large lit banner and we were in. Inexpensive self parking was available and we walked right in and were greeted by a very gracious Indian gentleman, Sam. At first I was skeptical because the room was a little sparse although busy. Then once the server came by with a delicious glass of complimentary Sancerre from Sam our questions were answered. Aparently the original Gaylord India was a well known haven for both countrymen from India and L.A. Foodies alike, but alas the owner of 15 years, along with his designer-daughter , is finally seeing his dream fine dining restaurant become reality in the form of a brand new dining room they call, "Tanzore" due to open in only a couple of weeks. Sam very pleasantly offered me a tour of the construction site which is near completion with beautiful marble and rich wood walls, stained concrete floors, a glass enclosed 2000 bottle wine cellar and a lounge where one entire wall will be a video screen showing fashion, art and travel montages. Even though there was no furniture yet you could tell alot of money had been spent in design and materials...But the food was the show stopper. They are previewing the new menu at a much reduced price and everything I had was delicious, extremely flavourful...lots of spice (hot and mild) and ample portions. My favorites ,the Machli Raitan (seared tuna) with an avocado raita, crab tiki (crabcakes) with mustard and curry (spicy) and lamb seekh kebab (authentic as I've ever had) . We shared entrees including black cod extremely tender with lime leaves and a cashew nut salad, Saag paneer, for my girlfriend and Tandoori Lamb Chops for me...Can't get enough Indian Lamb I always say... I don't have enough space to mention the dessert but they were awesome. Looking forward to Tanzore!
Biggest WASTE of money and time....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! – This is by far the worst dining establishment I have been to in my life. I have always been curious as to what the big fuss was over a "posh" Indian restaurant and could not have been more disappointed. First of all, when you pull up to valet there was nobody there I had to wait about ten minutes outside before someone came to get the car. Then we walked in and weren't greeted, there was no ambiance to the place at all, it was like a big clubhouse with dining tables. We weren't even given menus until at least fifteen minutes after being seated. They charged for everything, such as the riata (yogurt side item) and all chutneys that go with the dishes. At most Indian food places these items are complimentary. The food had no authenticity to it. The servings were small and paltry at best. For instance, the samosa appetizer I ordered was the same little frozen samosas you get at Indian grocery stores! Can you believe it. The food was awful, there was no service, This was just a Beverly Hills shi-shi foo-foo dump. We spent over
$140 and got an appetizer and rice and chicken and one naan. This place is literally for suckers. DO NOT GO THERE! pathetic excuse for a restaurant.
Nice place, good food, great ambience, awesome service – This is a nice place. they served pretty good food during my visit. A little bit spicy but I liked it. The Service is awesome. I loved the ambience.
I think this is a great restaurant to go to. I suggest make reservations before you go.
BEST FOOD IN THE COUNTRY. – We were in LA on a vacation. I am from Northern India and live in NY. We tried the new/improved menu. I haven't tasted anything like it. Believe me I have been to Indian restaurants all over the world. Kesari Chicken and Napolean Paneer were simply amazing.
No thank you!!! – I love Indian food!!! Unfortunately, I didn't love Gaylord. I chose this place after hearing so much about it...perhaps it's just the location that makes people rave. The Bombay Chat was pretty much chopped potatoes and onions with what was, I swear, Wheat Thins; it was dry by the way...no chutney or yogurt. I also ordered the Channa Masala, my standard which I've often eaten least 3 times a week in various parts of the world. That said, Gaylord's version was a poor excuse. A heavy buttery flavor (perhaps ghee), it came in a brown sauce heavily seasoned with onions (not visually appealing AT ALL!) and a nice touch of tumeric. The only saving factor of my Gaylord meal was the Naan; it was hot, light, and moist. So if you're in the mood for good Naan, Gaylord's got it!
SPECTACULAR Indian Food – Gaylord is a very special restaurant, with food that transcends and inspires! This is one of my favorite restaurants in Los Angeles, and be assured I have tried them all! I come from an Indian family and regularly take my relatives here for authentic, sophisticated, wonderful food. Vegetarians try the Paneer Makhani (tell the waiter Nicky to make it just right for you), bombay chat, aloo golbi, and saag paneer. Meat eaters try the tandoori fish which is so divine you'll be transported beyond the gates of heaven!! For dessert, try the kulfi which is a luxurious indian ice cream drizzled with rose water and pistachios. The restaurant owners was really nice people and will accomidate any requests. Gaylord will uplift you! This is real, authentic Indian food.
Best Indian food in Southern CA! – I have dined here before many times. Yes, the place is a bit pricy, but stop whining. You are paying for the quality of food and taste..those of you that have written negative reviews belong to or own other Indian Restaurants in the area. I find their reviews offensive. This restaurant is great if you want great Indian food. I have tried other Indian restaurant, but when it comes to flavor and quality, this is the best one!

So every time I get an interview, I get simple problems. The problem is, I seem to make a mess of it by writing inefficient algorithms that either take too much space or time. I am really not able to break down a problem into smaller parts and solve it using algorithms I would have used before.
Is there a reference (book or website) that describes the best practices and approaches of algorithm design? What about that resource makes it special?

Cleaning An Iron
February 3, 2010 by stain remover expert No Comments »
facilitate the cleaning of hair iron?
I have a hair iron and it has some residue on it from hair products. Water not out. Does anyone know how I'm clean …. and whether it should be low or even at all?
Try a scratch-pad as you with the dishes and hot or warm water. In the late 80s I used this method to clean my curling irons. I had to do twice a week, because I used a whole can of hairspray every week. The scratch off scratch effectively stubborn goo, and water hot works better than plain water because it penetrates the goo easier on a molecular structure. Good luck!

The reality of 'political economy' is something that irritates many economists -- the "purists", if you like. The political element is impossible to model; it often flies in the face of textbook economics; and democratic decision-making and backroom horse trading can be notoriously difficult to predict and painfully slow. And political economy is all pervasive in 2010 -- Barack Obama's proposals to rein in the banks is rooted in public outrage; reading China's monetary and currency policies is like Kremlinology; capital curbs being introduced in Brazil and elsewhere aim to prevent market overshoot; and British budgetary policies are becoming the political football ahead of this spring's UK election. The list is long, the outcomes uncertain, the market risk high.
But nowhere is this more apparent than in well-worn arguments over the validity and future of Europe's single currency -- the new milennium's posterchild for political economy.
For many, the euro simply should never have happened -- it thumbed a nose at the belief that all things good come from free financial markets; it removed monetary safety valves for member countries out of sync with their bigger neighbours and put the cart before the horse with monetary union ahead of fiscal policy integration. But the sheer political determination to finish the European's single market project, stop beggar-thy-neighbour currency devaluations and face down erratic currency trading meant the currency was born and has thrived for 11 years.
Now the budgetary and bond market upheaval currently afflicting euro member Greece and stalking Portugal, Ireland, Spain and Italy has reawakened the whole debate. "Will the euro survive?" seems a legitimate question once again.
Apart from financial analysts, Paul Krugman seems to have made his peace with the euro's existence but he still reckons it was a bad idea. Eric Maskin thinks financial markets are right to question the future of the single currency. And much is being made once again of Milton Friedman -- high priest of 20th century monetarism -- having reportedly said in 1998 that the euro would not survive the zone's first serious economic downturn.

Sample UDWPE Paper A: a "6" paper
The article "The Debt Debate," discusses our nation's problems with credit card debt and clearly points out that people are significantly more in debt to credit card companies today than they have ever been. Several possible reasons for this debt are explored. Warren believes that "increasing costs without an increase in wage is the culprit while Manning blames people who currently think of credit cards as "an entitlement." I personally have to agree with the article's notion that credit card debt is a serious problem in America because, unfortunately, I can relate to this issue. Currently I have five credit cards adding up to over three thousand dollars of debt. This may not be a huge amount, but it does create a burden for me. I put a significant amount of blame for this debt on the ridiculous number of credit card offers flooding everyone's mail boxes, the high interest rates and fees some credit card companies charge, and America's obsession with having a good credit score.
My favorite place to put the blame for America's problems with credit card debt is on the excessive number of credit card offers. No matter where you go, you will probably be invited to apply for a credit card. Many stores at the mall have their own credit card with great promotions to reel you in. It is hard not to apply when you're being promised up to 30% off your first purchase. I'm ashamed to say that I was a sucker for this ploy. I went to Macy's to buy my fiancé a couple of purses and was told I would save over $50 if I signed up for a Macy's card. I didn't think then about how I might have to pay back that amount in finance charges and fees; I just signed on the dotted line. There is no safe haven from other offers, either. Every week I probably get four or more offers mailed to my house. The internet is also flooded with banners, pop-ups, and ads raving about great credit card offers. Sadly, for most of us, something is going to catch our eye.
Once you've signed up for a credit card, it's time to start blaming the high interest rates and fees for our nation's credit card debt problem. For example, the Macy's card I discussed earlier charges a 19.95% interest rate. With an interest rate like that, I'll definitely pay back not only the $50 I saved on my first purchase, but I might even end up paying more. Some cards even charge an annual fee that can range from $25 to over $100. Then, if you're ever late on a payment, the credit card company will charge an outrageous late fee and bump you up to the highest interest rate possible, which can be around the 30% mark. When you add it all up, you will find many people paying mainly for those charges and fees which keep them in debt for much longer then they would have anticipated.
Unfortunately, in America, you need credit cards to build up your vital credit score. America is obsessed with credit scores which determine whether you can buy a car or a house, rent an apartment, or even get hired for a job. In order to build up your credit score, there are some guidelines that must be followed. These guidelines include such debt promoting rules like: Having several credit cards, using those credit cards regularly, having a balance on those credit cards, and not canceling credit cards. With rules like these, you have to be in debt in order to have a good credit score so that you can be approved to become more in debt.
I want to cancel my Macy's card as soon as I pay off my balance, but I've been told that doing so is bad for my credit score. To improve my score I actually need to make purchases occasionally. That seems completely absurd to me because that will only increase my already high credit card debt. This vicious circle of credit card debt is nearly impossible to break out of given today's cultural pressures and marketing schemes.
The paper concisely identifies the argument of credit card debt. The writer organizes this essay around a central thesis, connecting each paragraph to the overall argument. With paragraph focus, the writer also creates a strong sense of purpose in the essay. Skillful use of material both from the provided text as well as the specific detail marshaled from personal observations and experience produces extensive, cogent, and specific essay development. A fluent style and sentence variety contribute to the sophisticated treatment of the topic. This superior paper addresses the topic in a complex way and executes its plan convincingly and skillfully.

Executive search consultancy Caldwell Partners International Inc. (CWL.TO: Quote) Thursday said it swung to a second quarter loss of C$241 thousand or C$0.014 per share from a profit of C$141.6 thousand or C$0.008 per share last year, due mainly to lower revenues.
Net revenues for the period declined 5 percent to C$7.2 million from C$8.8 million last year. The decrease reflects a weakness in Canadian search revenues which more than offset 12 percent growth in US search revenues.

Undergraduate Commencement Day: Saturday, May 18th 10 a.m. Doors to seating open; DCU Center (Major Taylor Blvd., Worcester)
10 a.m. Degree candidates must report to the DCU Center's THIRD FLOOR BALLROOM. Here you should check-in and obtain an index card with your name. At this time, all graduates should put on their caps and gowns. (Tassel should be situated on the right side.)
Hold on to your index card! During the commencement ceremony, you will hand your card to the Dean of their School as you begin to cross the stage.
11 a.m. Students will line up in pairs, according to School. The line-up begins with the School of Education, Health and Natural Sciences, and then the School of Humanities and Social Sciences. Flag bearers will lead majors in each program. Although students' names appear in alphabetical order in the program, crossing the stage does not. If you wish to be seated next to someone in your degree program, line up in front of that person. 11:30 a.m. The procession begins promptly at 11:30 a.m.The ceremony includes the academic procession, the commencement address, the awarding of honorary degrees, recognition of faculty emeriti, recognition of degree candidates by School and major, and the granting of degrees by the Board of Trustees.
Senior class marshals will direct baccalaureate degree candidates to the stage to receive their degrees, after which graduates should return to their assigned seats. Class officers, marshals and other undergraduates on the platform will receive their degrees last and will lead their classmates in the changing of the tassel from right to left.
12 p.m. The ceremony begins.
Receiving Your Diploma
Please stay with your major so that your parents and friends will know when you are receiving your degree. When you walk across the stage to receive your diploma covers, you must hand your index card to the Dean reading graduates' names and any academic honors information stamped on the card. IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU KEEP YOUR INDEX CARD UNTIL YOU HAND IT TO A DEAN.
After you receive your certificate, it is imperative that you return to your seat and remain seated until the ceremony is completed. It is basic courtesy not to disrupt Commencement for those who have not yet received their certificate.
At the conclusion of the benediction, individuals should leave the area in the following order: the platform party, faculty, administrators, graduates and members of the audience.
Graduates are requested to remain in their seats to take part in the recessional.
To assure an orderly and safe program, no food or drink should be brought into the area, and only officially appointed photographers will be allowed to approach the stage to take pictures. Family members and friends will have ample opportunity to take pictures before and after the ceremony.

Halloween is meant to be a celebration of all things scary, not all things sexy, right? But, even still, it seems like the sexy Halloween costume trend will never, ever die. Come October 31st you're bound to see a sexy bunny, a sexy firefighter, and now … a sexy Ursula the Sea Witch? Yup, the famous Disney villainess costume is now available, but the getup is making waves. Not for the fact that the costume (dubbed as "Sassy Ursula" and sold on Disguise.com) is sexy, but rather because it's only available in US sizes 2 to 14.
Related: Most Awesome Celeb Halloween Costumes
Ursula is, of course, known for her plus-sized figure, and so it didn't take long for the costume to come under fire on the Internet. Blogger Tavie made a statement on her website, saying, "It's outrageously exclusionary. It basically tells fat women that we're too fat to play a fat character; it also tells fat women that in order to be sexy, a character must be skinny."
Related: Best Halloween Makeup How-Tos
The model wearing the outfit is very thin, but if we're taking issue with the fact that the original Ursula wasn't thin, then we can't forget that the original Ursula wasn't really hot either. The Sea Witch is freaky and kinda gross, and that's why everyone loves to hate her. Her famous line, "It won't cost much -- just your voice!" still gives us chills. Ursula was many things, but sexy wasn't really one of them.
Even so, you should be able to dress up as your own interpretation of Ursula (sexy or otherwise) no matter what your waist size is. And seeing as this particular Disney villain is known for her voluptuousness, you would think Disney (who created the costume) would have thought ahead, avoided backlash, and provided an XL size for an XL character.
What do you think? Was it wrong for Disney not to make an Ursula costume in an XL size?

Dr. Holly Allen
Director, Child and Family Studies Program
Professor of Biblical Studies
Ph.D., Talbot School of Theology
M.A., University of Iowa
B.A., Harding University
Dr. Allen directs the Child and Family Studies major. She works with 25-30 Child and Family Studies majors who have a passion for nurturing children and families in Christian settings as well as helping those in tough settings such as children in poverty, former child soldiers, and children in foster care and orphanages. The favorite part of her job is the relationship she has with her majors; she finds it very rewarding to encourage students academically, professionally, and spiritually.
Dr. Allen currently holds the J. Vernon McGee Endowed Chair in the Biblical Studies Division. She spends much of her time researching, writing, and speaking at academic conferences and in faith settings. Her current research focus is spiritual development in children, and she is writing a book tentatively titled Ten Powerful Ways to Nurture Children's Spiritual Formation. Dr. Allen is frequently sought by parents, the educational establishment, social workers, and churches to speak on children's spirituality. In September 2013, she traveled to Nicaragua where she and one of her students taught and ministered to the children, parents, and teachers in an impoverished inner-city school in the city of Chinandega.
Dr. Allen's most recent book (with Christine Ross) is entitled Intergenerational Christian Formation: Bringing the Whole Church Together in Ministry, Community and Worship. It was released in October 2012 by InterVarsity Press, and is being used as a course text in over a dozen universities and seminaries. Her previous book, the edited volume Nurturing Children's Spirituality: Christian Perspectives and Best Practices, was released in 2008 by Wipf & Stock.
To relax, Dr. Allen plays racquetball, lifts weights, and hikes in the Ozarks with her husband. She treasures a few life-long friendships, leads a spiritual direction group with several women, and stays in the Word.
Fun facts:
Dr. Allen pumps iron three days a week.
Each October, Dr. Allen and her husband harvest the apples on the Granny Smith apple tree in their back yard and make dozens are jars of homemade (family recipe) apple butter to give to friends and family.
Dr. Allen loves being a grandmother, but finds it disconcerting to be married to a man who is old enough to be a grandfather.

My children currently ride the bus to and from school every day and have enjoyed it for the last 2 years. My sister, on the other hand, won't let her kids ride the bus because of some of the awful things that can occur on buses. Do you let your kids ride the bus or do you agree that it is a bad place to be? -- Bonnie, StrongMoms Facilitator
My daughter rides the bus to and from school as well. i feel a bus can be a bad place, depends on how they are ran. My daughter is 4, and knows right and wrong. i belive if there is any issue on her bus she will let me know and she will be removed. i dont belive the is anything wrong with a child on the bus, they know when they are in a bad situation. -Haven
I think it's an individual case by case decision. I had never thought about buses being "bad places", outside of kids maybe getting teased in a harmless manner (physically but not necessarily mentally). One of my thoughts is that kids have to have a place to test out their skills in saying "no", in standing up for themselves, in standing up for others, in being safe, in doing something without mom/dad there, ect. So there are many good things about riding the bus. That being said if you have any inclination or gut feeling or information that your child may be at risk-no bus!
You are both right....my kids have to learn to be in difficult situations where they need to stand up for themselves or others. At least I know they are in a safe environment while doing so!
I think one of the difficult issues is the distance to the bus stop. I've just heard too many tragic stories about kids on their way to bus stops and things happening to them. I'd be pretty skittish letting them walk much distance to the bus stop. However, if I was able to go with them, I think that would change things. I'll have to deal with this issues in a couple of years!
Luckily, the bus actually picks them up and drops them off right in front of our house, so I am very lucky!!!
