4 Ways Your Education Was a Conspiracy to Make You Bored
#2. Teachers Are Underpaid, Unsupported, and Stressed Out
Teaching is a difficult and dangerous job. That article I linked tells a story about a woman who taught fourth grade for over 20 years, right up until the year she was involuntarily transferred to teach high school freshmen. The superintendent didn't inform her of the change until four days before the school year had started. Four days is nowhere near enough time to build a curriculum for any grade, let alone a grade that is far out of your wheelhouse. For anyone who doesn't know, fourth graders are young, scared, occasionally rambunctious, but mostly adorable children, and high school freshmen are the worst fucking people on the planet.
That teacher, unsurprisingly, burned out, became depressed, and started suffering from a number of other stress-related health issues, something that is common among almost all teachers (according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor, it's the 20th most dangerous job in America, and some jobs in America are jobs where people shoot guns at you). Seventy-five percent of all teacher health problems are stress-related and a result of "dwindling school resources, low pay, high expectations for test scores, changing assessments of student performance, lack of parental involvement, and pressure from administration." Teachers who aren't burning out are still becoming cynical and demoralized; they got into teaching to change lives and help children, and instead they have to deal with administrative mandates and pressures to "teach to a test," where they're encouraged to do whatever it takes to raise their class' test scores, even if that doesn't necessarily correlate to an increased understanding of the material for the students.
Pretend you're a teacher: You got into this job because you wanted to connect with children, but if you do so in a way that doesn't yield higher test scores for your whole class, your boss will be on your case. Plus the pay is shitty and funding to your school drops every single year.
Who wouldn't be cynical?
#1. We Need an Education Revolution
The public school system is a giant, ancient ship that has already gone too far in the wrong direction to ever be turned around. Everyone keeps trying to brainstorm ways to steer the ship, but they're missing the most obvious solution:
Fuck the ship.
Fuck that ship and build a new ship. Or you know what? Why make it a ship at all? Why not build an unstoppable education machine that consumes every wrong lesson you've ever been taught and spits out the angry, beautiful, and amazing truth? Put rockets on that son of a bitch. We want a machine that will seek out everything wrong about you and BLEED it out of you and leave you a smarter and more efficient person.
Honestly, education needs a helping hand. If we want our children to get educated, and if teachers are too handcuffed by bureaucracy to do it, then we need a new kind of textbook designed to challenge and inspire kids (and also anyone in that coveted 18-35 demographic) to get excited about learning. Not just another textbook, but something that fixes what textbooks got wrong. A DE-Textbook, if you will. A machine like this just might be the only thing that can make the world smarter, stronger, and faster. The only thing that can save us from our own stupidity.
Here I should be clear that I've been speaking metaphorically when I've talked about ships and machines; a "machine" in this instance can be anything, from a book to even an e-book.
I just pray that the people of the world are bold enough to rise up to this challenge and courageous enough to buy such a book. Because, as the great George Washington once said, "Cracked.com's new book, The De-Textbook, is available wherever books are sold, pre-order your copy today!"
Daniel O'Brien is the head writer for The De-Textbook, a book that you have perhaps heard of.

Maryland's businesses create over 3,100 jobs per month
Unemployment nearly 20 percent below national average
BALTIMORE, MD (May 18, 2012) - The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics released state
payroll job and employment data earlier today. According to
the preliminary data, Maryland shed 6,000 jobs in April as jobs data continues to be adjusted to account
for an unseasonably warm winter. Despite April's losses, the
15,700 private-sector jobs added through the first four months of 2012 are the state's best start to a
year for private sector growth since 2000. Additionally, Maryland's
private sector has created jobs in eight of the last 12 months, with an average monthly gain of over
3,100 jobs. March's preliminary gain of 1,500 jobs was revised downward
to a loss of 600 jobs. Maryland's unemployment rate rose modestly to 6.7 percent, but continues to be
among the lowest in the country and nearly 20 percent below the national rate.
"As we know, in any recovery there are strong months and soft months. While our unemployment
rate increased slightly, more Marylanders entered the labor force," said Interim
Maryland Labor Secretary Scott R. Jensen. "Thanks to Governor O'Malley's leadership and tough
choices, we've weathered the recession better than many other states. Maryland is
well positioned to compete in the New Economy, and we continue to be committed to skills training
and job placement."
April's losses were spread across a number of industries, but most declines were small. Only
two private-sector industries saw considerable decreases over-the-month:
Professional & Business Services declined by 2,200 (a decrease of 2,100 in Administrative
& Support Services affected the entire sector), and Leisure &
Hospitality declined by 3,900 (owing largely to a decrease of 2,800 in the Accommodation &
Food Services subsector). Historically, declines in both sectors are not
uncommon from March to April. Since April 2011, Maryland has added 40,600 jobs, 38,000 of which
are in the private sector. Over-the-year, nearly all major industries posted
gains, with notable increases in Education, Health Care, & Social Assistance (+16,500),
Professional & Business Services (+13,800), Natural Resources, Mining, &
Construction (+5,700), and Leisure & Hospitality (+3,400). The only sectors to post
over-the-year decreases were Manufacturing (-2,000), Financial Activities (-500), and
Information (-100).
Interim Secretary Jensen will brief the media on the April 2012 jobs report during a
conference call at noon today (call-in: 800-619-4425; passcode: 7016775).

Six citizens spoke to the school board during the public comments portion of the June 25 board meeting in Moncks Corner.
Nancy Corbin of Ridgeville addressed the ongoing SLED investigation.
"I want to give you all an A-plus on your policy on political activity," she said. "It is clear, it is concise, it is easy to understand and everyone in this district I'm sure understands it.
"What I want to give you an F on is your oversight of that policy. Your policy is very clear: No one may solicit or collect funds for political use. No one can use the district communication system, including email or voicemail, to promote or solicit."
John Green of Goose Creek spoke about the district's recent vote to add $53 million in bonds related to the $198 million school improvement referendum.
"I spent my adult life being held accountable," said Green, who added that his six children graduated from Stratford. "I have been held accountable for people's lives on numerous occasions. On no occasion would I be allowed to go 20 percent off of any estimation I had in which people's lives or their wellbeing was in question.
"And here we are with a $198 million referendum immediately followed by oops, we forgot about heating and air conditioning? Food and culinary equipment? Science lab equipment? These are all basic, simple items for any school.
"If I had done that in Kuwait or Afghanistan I'd probably still be in prison. And yet here we are with no accountability."
Linda Riney of Cross zeroed in on the controversy over the proposed limiting of public comments.
"I would like to remind (school board chairman Kent Murray) that we live in the United States of America, still," Linda Riney, of Cross, said. "We didn't lose that over the past six or eight months. To threaten a citizen for wanting to get up and voice their opinion on an issue that directly involves the taxpayers . . . I can't believe that.
"What are you people thinking? We are the taxpayers. We pay for everything you do. And you threaten us? How dare you?"
Ryan Gilsenan of Daniel Island took issue with the board about a proposed location for a middle school, and the fact that it would not be located on the island.
"We were led to believe you would be maintaining grades through the eighth grade there because that was so important to the fabric of the community," he said. "Now the school district appears to have gone back on its word and you're going to take the middle school grades off the island.
"I would like to think it's not true. No ground has been broken yet and I eagerly await the school board and the administration who worked so hard to get this referendum passed at taxpayer expense to clarify what parts of land are being looked at on Daniel Island . . . where is the parent input that was promised?
"If we start breaking ground up Clements Ferry Road without any input from the people who were so egregiously misled, it's going to be a sad day in Berkeley County."
The public comments section of the meeting – which is at the center of a lawsuit filed by former school board member and current Republican Party Chairman Terry Hardesty – began with Murray reading public comments rules to the audience.
Murray read the entire back of the public comments card at the session, including a new section restricting comments on the S.C. Law Enforcement Division (SLED) investigation into the district's $198 million school improvement referendum campaign.
"At the last meeting I added a clarification point," Murray said, reading the new section. "I want to emphasize this is not a revision of policy but a clarification."
Murray asked speakers to follow the guidelines but said he did not intend to stop a speaker who did not abide by this request to minimize disrupting the meeting and to avoid unnecessary legal costs to the district.
Board member Phillip Obie said he does not agree with the statement on the back of the card regarding citizen comments, adding that the board should be advised by an attorney to see if it violates any law or policies.
Board member Doug Cooper addressed the issue of the public comments.
"There's a lot of people getting one side of the story," Cooper said. "This is America and you do have rights. One of those rights is due process. One of those is that you're innocent until proven guilty.
"No one to this day has been charged with anything . . . the (SLED) investigation will end and then the board will be able to deal with that. It is a personnel issue for us."
"I'm almost at a loss for words at how disappointed I am in the board's actions," Hardesty said during his turn at the public comments podium. "I heard the chairman tonight make a threat to the citizens in this room to keep their mouths shut. I think that's appalling.
"So I'm going to be quiet about the ethics investigation. I'm going to assure you, Dr. Murray, that I did not make a threat with my letter. It was a promise."

In 2002, after almost a century-and-a-half of stunning growth, the Albright-Knox Art Gallery was in the midst of an identity crisis.
Here was one of the most respected modern and contemporary art museums in the world and Buffalo's cultural flagship – with a collection praised by critics the world over for its extraordinary depth and quality – that seemed, after nearly 150 years, to be growing stale.
During the previous decade, the gallery's once-ravenous appetite for bold new work from the outer limits of the art world been reduced to the occasional nibble at the heels of more ambitious collectors and institutions. Its collection of peerless artworks by Picasso, Matisse, Gauguin, Jackson Pollock, Andy Warhol and many others – literally text-book examples of the great artistic achievements of the 20th century – often took a back seat to blockbuster touring exhibitions that were threatening to bleed the Albright-Knox's modest budget dry.
The grand old institution on the edge of Delaware Park was in danger of becoming a crumbling mausoleum for past glories. This glimmering beacon of culture in a city from which the international spotlight had long ago departed was beginning to lose the adventurous spirit of its legendary patrons and directors.
The gallery's board was aware of this, and so in 2002, desperate to reverse the increasingly evident signs of decline, it decided to do something drastic. The board hired Louis Grachos to be the museum's 10th professional director, a man neither the museum nor Western New York will soon forget.
Grachos will complete his controversial and transformative term as director at the end of this year before taking over the newly formed organization AMOA-Arthouse in Austin, Texas. He is heading to Texas, he said, for the opportunity to build a new organization from the ground up.
He also said it is time for new blood at the Albright-Knox, noting that the next major goal of the gallery – to expand its space so it can exhibit its rapidly growing collection – does not excite him as much as working directly with art and artists.
"It's time to move on, and I do think the content, the work of the museum is in a very healthy state. There's the challenge of a building project coming up over the next 10 years, and the new director has to have the kind of energy to want to take that on," Grachos said. "But I think it's a good tenure. Ten years is a good [amount of] time for any museum."
According to Albright-Knox board president Leslie Zemsky, the search for the new director is well under way, and the gallery hopes to have Grachos' successor selected by Jan. 1.
In many ways, Grachos' daily duties as director of the Albright-Knox were only part-time. His other job – arguably even more important – was as the most visible and active leader of Buffalo's cultural community. As the man responsible for the city's most prized cultural treasure, he was a de facto spokesman for the city itself. He took it as a deeply personal mission to counter the false notion of Buffalo as a glacial hinterland hobbling along on its love for chicken wings and memories of a bygone industrial heyday.
Richard Armstrong, director of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City, former director of the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh and a key adviser to Grachos during his time at the Albright-Knox, praised him for solidifying and expanding the gallery's international reputation.
"It's one of the spirited, lively places. I think people look to it, for not only a commitment to living artists, but also for the almost peerless quality of the collection. It's one of those obligatory places," Armstrong said. As for Grachos' approach to the job, he added: "I'd consider him gifted, unusual and a great exemplar of a leader."
The legacy
During his 10 years at the gallery, Grachos lit a fire under its collecting program, and integrated the gallery into the community through ambitious collaborations with rock bands, dance companies, poets and other museums and galleries.
But his tenure here will likely be defined by one thing: Grachos' fostered the board's decision in 2007 to sell more than 200 pieces of valuable pre-Modern art from the collection. The money raised would help it remain competitive with the heavy-hitters of the modern museum world, setting the gallery's sights – and those of its nostalgia-addled city – firmly on the future.
It cannot be denied that Grachos' directorship was, for better or worse, anything but transformative:
• Between 2002 and 2012, as a result of the 2007 sales, the gallery's endowment for the purchase of new artworks grew from $19.2 million to $85.9 million.
• More than 1,100 objects entered the Albright-Knox collection through purchases and gifts in those years, one of the busiest periods of collecting in the gallery's history.
• Among those objects were joint purchases of major artworks by Rachel Whiteread, Bruce Nauman and Felix Gonzales-Torres with Pittsburgh's Carnegie Art Museum, the Whitney Museum of Modern Art and Tate Modern, as well as major commissions from artists like Sol LeWitt and Andy Goldsworthy.
• The gallery's school education program, which Grachos relaunched under the name "Art'Scool," expanded from about 7,000 students in 2002 to 17,581 this year.
• In a successful program aimed at building new audiences, Grachos fostered a series of free weekly "Gusto at the Gallery" festivals, which have since been scaled back to the monthly "M&T First Friday" affairs.
• The Albright-Knox campus has been radically transformed, with new sculptures by Nancy Rubins, Jaume Plensa and Liam Gillick, and forthcoming pieces by Jason Middlebrook and Goldsworthy.
New course
When Grachos, then 45, arrived at the gallery in early 2003 to take the reins from longtime director Douglas Schultz, the board had already begun to chart a new course for the institution. It had developed a strategic plan to quicken the languid pace of collecting and to engage more directly with the community.
Even the seed for the 2007 sale of the pre-modern art pieces had been planted by board members during the previous decade. With his mandate firmly in place when he stepped into his new office, Grachos immediately set about demolishing the calcified structures of the gallery's culture and reconnecting it to the progressive ideals of legendary former director Gordon Smith, gallery namesake Seymour H. Knox and others.
"My own in-house assessment of how the community saw us [was] that were kind of a place you don't go into," Grachos said, recalling an unpleasant experience with a gruff security guard when he came in for his first interview. "It was too formal, too rigid. I wanted people to feel comfortable with the idea of coming here."
Starting with that notion, Grachos and his board embarked on a mission to shock the gallery into a new consciousness of the rapidly expanding universe of contemporary art, to make it a serious player in that universe, and to integrate its work and its collection more deeply and genuinely into the regional community.
One of his first targets, he said, was the budget-draining, blockbuster touring exhibitions that had defined the latter half of its previous director's 19-year run. The most recent one was an exorbitantly expensive 2004 show from the Washington D.C.-based Phillips Collection.
"There was this reliance or hope that somehow the touring blockbuster shows were the answer," Grachos said. "You could see the staff was just motivated that way. It was all about special exhibitions. It wasn't about, what are we going to do about the collection? How are we going to grow this collection? How are we going to teach our community more about our collection?"
So Grachos scrapped the blockbuster approach and focused his energy on mining the Alrbight-Knox's own peerless collection of modern and contemporary art. He launched the successful "Remix the Collection" series, which encouraged curators to dream up innovative exhibitions drawing exclusively from the gallery's holdings.
His next major move was to re-evaluate the gallery's periodic regional art show "In Western New York," which he transformed into the successful regional biennial "Beyond/In Western New York" with the help of many leaders from the local visual arts community.
"When I interviewed [for the directorship] and saw the lonely 'In Western New York' show, the artists were terrific, but you could just tell the institution didn't care about this show. It was flat and it was kind of relegated to the junior curator," he said. Looking back at the gallery's history, which featured two lauded collaborative events known as the Festival of the Arts Today in 1965 and '68, Grachos encouraged the entire community to get in on the project.
The results of the Beyond/In shows continue to echo through a wider visual arts community that is as cohesive and productive as at any point in the city's history, including the city's much-lauded avant-garde heyday of the 1970s.
In 2005, Grachos organized the exhibition "Extreme Abstraction" with curator Claire Schneider. It was an explosive presentation of the latest experiments in abstract art-making from across the world and drew international attention to Buffalo, throwing the gallery's staff and audience for a loop.
For the show, Grachos reinstalled the entire 1962 building – a shocking move at the time – including the temporary removal of one painting, Max Ernst's "Age of Forests" that had hung on the same nail since 1978. The result was a critical and popular hit that spurred a period of near-constant innovation and expansion.
Another immediate priority for Grachos was to reinvigorate the gallery's languishing school program, which had first brought him to the gallery on a school trip from Toronto when he was 13.
"Everyone that was my peer had told me that their first touch with the Albright was through the school program, and that had all but disappeared," he said. "I remember my first art experience. It was vivid and it was lasting and it's had a transforming impact on someone who really would never [have been] exposed to art."
The launch of the gallery's Art'School program expanded the gallery's reach from 7,000 or so students from Buffalo's city schools to nearly 18,000 students yearly from rural, urban and suburban districts across Western New York.
So long, Artemis
The new curatorial philosophy, the new collaborative spirit, the major expansion of the gallery's education program: All of these changes were merely warm-ups for events that would test Grachos' fortitude and recast the gallery's mission and its reputation.
In early 2007, to the shock of many in Western New York, the gallery announced its plans to sell more than 200 works of art from its collection that it claimed fell outside its central mission to collect contemporary art. The sales, it was argued, would enable the Albright-Knox to compete in an increasingly cut-throat art market in which it would otherwise have been doomed to irrelevance.
The pieces on the auction block included ancient works of Egyptian, Chinese, Indian and Hellenistic art. Among them was a prized and incredibly rare bronze statue of the goddess Diana and a small stag. That statue, known as "Artemis and the Stag," became the emblem of the intense debate over the sales, and drew a record price for an antiquity at auction at that time – $28.6 million.
Despite the outcry, the gallery – which had not made a good-faith effort to publicly vet its decision with the public – emerged from the sales almost $80 million richer.
"I can safely tell you that this institution has not been damaged by this process on any level at all," Grachos said. "I never want to do it again. From death threats to ridicule to being shunned by museum directors that I've known all my life, all my professional life: It wasn't fun. But in the end I was committed to the idea that, OK, we're really driving the stake into the ground. There's no one on the horizon that's like Mr. Knox or Mr. Goodyear."
Others in Buffalo and far beyond disagreed with the decision and continue to do so. Asked to evaluate Grachos' tenure, Carl Dennis, the respected Buffalo poet and one of the leaders of an opposition group called Buffalo Artkeepers, sent this statement:
"If Mr. Grachos had pushed the Board to seek out advice from the members of the museum before agreeing to the sale in secret and sending the items off, I think a good compromise might have been worked out," Dennis wrote. "So many illuminating juxtapositions were lost that would have made our museum a unique experience, different from other museums like it. So many opportunities for people to learn about the reach of art were sold away."
Longtime gallerygoers and some artists with a taste for the established art of the past century have also been critical of Grachos, characterizing what the gallery has purchased under his direction as frivolous and uninspiring compared with the earlier works of modern art upon which the bulk of the gallery's international reputation rests.
Nathan Naetzker, an artist whose work was included in the Albright-Knox's section of Beyond/In Western New York 2007, also criticized the gallery's direction under Grachos.
"Some of the items were irreplaceable treasures – proven cultural icons that would never lose their value – both culturally and monetarily," he said. "What we replaced them with are temporal at best. Recent outcries in the art world, from low and high... are finally casting light on what many have known all along; that the contemporary art world is exceedingly corrupt."
Others in Buffalo's art community praised Grachos' commitment to expanding the gallery's role in the community.
"For collection, curation, and facility, the Albright-Knox was top-shelf before Grachos arrived, but I also believe the public dialogue surrounding visual arts, the role of museums and galleries, and cultural institutions has become more visible, substantial and diverse," local artist and frequent gallerygoer Joel Brenden said, voicing an opinion common among Grachos' many supporters. "This is thanks in part – ironically perhaps – to the deaccessioning of select elements of their collection, but also to the broader palette of events and programming Buffalo has seen under his direction."
For his part, Grachos admitted in a revelatory interview in the catalog for the museum's current 10-year retrospective, the gallery's public airing of the sales "should have happened sooner than it did."
From the board
Reviews from the gallery's board, perhaps predictably, were glowing.
"There've been [10] directors since 1905 including Louis, and frankly every single one of them I think has done a good job. One of the most legendary directors was Gordon Smith, in the era when he worked with [Seymour] Knox to bring in the Abstract Expressionist collection and the Pop collection," said Albright-Knox board member and former president Charles Banta, in a sentiment that was echoed by Zemsky. "I feel Louis has achieved a similar status and success. I think he'll be considered one of the most important directors in the Albright-Knox's history to date."
Looking back on his career at the Albright-Knox and his countless collaborations and conversations with the cultural community at large, Grachos was optimistic about the path the regional cultural community is on. "When I look back and think about the great achievements I've seen in 10 years, I know it's like tiny baby steps, but it is about a city starting to recognize that it has this cultural heritage that's unique and important. And I think you're starting to see that glimmer of: OK, it's not just quality of life. It could be something bigger and more important and more interesting."
Grachos denied that his decampment for sunnier financial climes in Austin was motivated by Western New York's notoriously difficult funding and philanthropic atmosphere, though he did issue a parting challenge for his board members and the community at large to be "much more aggressively supportive of our public institutions."
"It's a new adventure. My nature is that I really like change. I know there are folks who have a real problem with shifting and changing and transition. I'm the opposite," he said. "It's just my DNA."

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear the arguments on April 16 in the case of a James Island couple seeking to overturn a ruling that returned their adoptive daughter to her biological father under the federal Indian Child Welfare Act.
The case involving 3-year-old Veronica is one of two scheduled to go before the high court that day, according to the Supreme Court of the United States blog.
An attorney for Matt and Melanie Capobianco filed their 142-page petition with the high court in October, arguing that the justices should accept the case to settle uncertainty over how the 1978 act should be interpreted.
The Capobiancos have not seen Veronica since a family court ruling relinquished the girl to her father on New Year's Eve of 2011.
The S.C. Supreme Court in July upheld Veronica's return to her biological father in Oklahoma. Her father, a member of the Cherokee Nation, successfully challenged the adoption using the Indian Child Welfare Act, a federal law aimed at preserving American Indian families.
The federal law has been reviewed only once at the highest level. In 1989, Justice William Brennan sided with Mississippi's Choctaw tribe, which challenged an adoption of twins.
Before Veronica was born in September 2009 in Oklahoma, her biological parents canceled their engagement and went separate ways. The Capobiancos met Veronica's mother through an adoption agency and were with her since birth.
Veronica's biological father, Dusten Brown, sought custody of the girl after learning of the Capobianco plans to adopt her in January 2010.
Though Brown did not support the girl's mother during pregnancy, his rights as a parent should not be stripped, the S.C. Supreme Court confirmed in its July ruling.
Since her return to Oklahoma, Veronica has been given the name "Little Star" by the Cherokee and has attended stomp dances and other Native American rituals with her father and others to introduce her to her culture, Brown's attorney, Shannon Jones, has said.

He had lived in his home on East Third Avenue since 1967.
Breeding and racing his thoroughbred horses was his passion, his family said. He match raced horses as a young man and graduated into team roping and calf roping later in life. His family remembers him instigating foot races, because he happened to be very fast.
�Pat was always up for a game of pitch at the old Basin Pack, and always ready to make a wager on anything,� his family said. �One of his favorite expressions was, �If you�re going to do it, do it right.��
Mr. Cugnini is survived by his wife of 40 years, Ramona Cugnini, of Durango; sons Steve Cugnini of Durango and Duane Cugnini of La Plata, N.M.; daughter, Vicky Cugnini, of Farmington; sister, Annie Jameson, of Durango; four grandchildren; 11 great-grandchildren; four great-great-grandchildren; and numerous cousins, nieces and nephews in the Zellitti, Montonati and Jameson families.
A celebration of life will be held at 4 p.m. Monday, May 21, 2012, at the Ridgewood Events Center, north of the Breen sale barn at mile marker 16 on Colorado Highway 140.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Hospice of Mercy, 1 Mercado St., Suite 270, Durango, CO 81301.

My memories of the downtown Fort Worth tornado 12 years ago are as vivid as the day it happened. I think when the toll is tallied, this day will be worthy of a thread.
CNN.com has footage of the trailers flying through the air on their homepage.

That's the Flying J/ Schneider International depot on I-20.
I think Dallas set their own one day record for the most times turning the sirens on and off. In Downtown, I did not see any hail, high winds or anything bad. Just rain.
I'm not in town but heard things from friends all over the metroplex about things being pretty bad. My mom works at the VA which is pretty much in Lancaster so I was kind of worried. Lucky no one got hurt! My friend said his car got pretty bad hail damage though which is a bummer since he bought it new less than 4 months ago
One of the girls has a house in Lancaster (that she rents as a Section 8)... her tenant called and said the front facade of her house fell off. I'll get the full report later.
Hope Justin is out getting photos... pretty awesome sunset after the storm.

Sigma 14mm F2.8 EX Aspherical HSM Nikon
Further readings for the Sigma 14mm F2.8 EX Aspherical HSM Nikon
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
In Part 2 of "Best lenses for the Nikon D750" we're looking at the performance of primes on Nikon's latest full-frame DSLR. We've analyzed over 60 fixed-focal-length lenses on the D750, including Nikon's own Nikkor brand and third-party alternatives. Covering focal lengths from 14mm through to 600mm, the scores include some of the best results our technicians have ever recorded.
There is a very particular look available to photographers who have a 'Super-Wide-angle' lens in their gadget bag, a 'look' that puts a whole new perspective on things. To get it you really need something quite extreme. Nikon do it, Canon do it, indeed most of the camera makers do it, but so do some of the independent lens makers. Of these who does it best? And do you get what you pay for?

Looking for a romantic safari in the Out of Africa' tradition? This Honeymoon Lodge offers genteel luxuries and Big Five game viewing in the heart of the magnificent Kruger National Park.
Relax in the lush wilderness of an exclusive Kruger Park private concession. The 3 Day Romancing The Stone Package offers an unforgettable Kruger honeymoon experience with a self-drive or flight option to this pristine destination.
Spend your honeymoon on safari with personal attention in elegant surroundings. This beautiful safari lodge is designed to be eco-friendly, blending with the scenery and built using natural organic materials.
The lounge and swimming pool overlook an active waterhole where wildlife in this part of Kruger Park comes to drink and refresh. Raised on wooden platforms, you can view the river and lush foliage from everywhere in your suite.
Kruger Park Honeymooners can look forward to early morning Big Five drives and later, sundowner safaris which are led by highly qualified guides. During your stay, make the most of delicious high teas, sunset cocktails, something special from the wine cellar and al fresco dining. Cooler days mean cosy conversations by the lounge fire and blissfully scented bubble baths in your suite - this is your 'do not disturb' time!
A flight from Johannesburg directly into the Kruger National Park marks the start of your romantic and secluded honeymoon package with your loved one. A short road transfer in a safari vehicle will take you to your safari lodge. You will be served a welcome drink upon arrival which is just one of the small things that this Honeymoon safari lodge offers to make you feel special with personal attention. There is time to familiarize yourself with the lodge surroundings and check-in to your room which is private with impressive views of the riverbed.
High tea is served just before your first afternoon game drive and then you return to the lodge for a pan-African dinner under magnificent Tamboti trees out in the open. Tonight why not unwind together in the big claw-foot bath or maybe take an outdoor shower surrounded by all the amazing nocturnal sounds that you will only hear in the African bush.
You have a full day on safari at this lovely honeymoon accommodation, being spoiled by lodge staff and spending some quality time with your loved one. The daily safari program will start with an early morning game drive as this is the best time for spotting wildlife. After a hot brunch which is served back at the lodge, the rest of the afternoon is at leisure. You can cool off in the swimming pool, marvel at the views from your wooden deck or spend time on the shaded patio overlooking the waterhole, sipping cocktails together.
On the afternoon game drive, your guide will stop at a waterhole where sundowners are served...there is truly nothing more magical than a huge bright red sun setting over the horizon. Snuggle up and make a toast as you start your new life together. Back at the lodge, dinner will be served in the open air boma and you can either retire early to your suite or enjoy the warmth of the fire before turning in.
You still have one last morning game drive today to spot the animals you have missed so far and then there is time for a scrumptious brunch before check out at 11h00. This marks the end of your 3 Day Romancing The Stone Package in the Kruger Park. Time to set off and transfer to the airport for your onward flight.

While I'm away, readers give the advice.
On severing the tie with the in-laws/grandparents because your spouse has died:
Not long after breaking the news to me that his girlfriend was pregnant, my 18-year-old son was murdered. One of the things that helped me maintain some normalcy in my life is that I had to help provide for my future granddaughter.
Seventeen years later, I have been permitted by her mother to play a great part in my granddaughter's life – so much so that my granddaughter thinks of me more as a father than her grandfather. Without her mother's devotion to and understanding of family connections, my life would not have been the same. To this day, when I see my precious baby girl, it's like I still have my son with me. My advice is to please let the grandparents maintain a connection with their grandkids.
On that existential stumper, "Do I really have to?":
Many, many years ago, when I asked whether I had to turn in a problem set, my math teacher said to me: "The only thing you have to do in this world is die."
I remind myself of that whenever I'm feeling put upon or forced into an uncomfortable position. It helps me realize that, in almost every situation in life, there is a choice to be made, and I'm the one making it. It's very empowering.
– Anonymous
On being the only one making an effort to save the marriage:
If someone really is considering leaving the marriage, one technique is to go find a good divorce lawyer and have an initial consultation, which is usually free. Also find a good marriage counselor, have a session or two by yourself to be sure you feel you can work with him or her.
Then hand your spouse a business card from both, and ask which office s/he'd like to meet you at. I know people who have saved their marriages this way.
On devout parents shocked to learn of a child's atheism:
As a teenage atheist daughter of Christian parents, I would like to respond to parents:
Don't panic. In all likelihood, your children will be well-adjusted members of society, just like you. Be glad they feel safe enough to trust you to not overreact to their decisions.
By harassing them about Christianity, treating them like rebellious teenagers, or undermining their ability to make decisions, you will only distance them from you.
Instead, mom-up, and tell them you are OK with it. (Remember that two-thirds of the world is not Christian.) Tell them you won't force them to go to church or participate in prayers. Would you appreciate being made to pray to a deity you don't believe in?
Do tell them you expect them to be decent human beings no matter who they pray or don't pray to. That is a universal value.
– Hiding in Texas
Parents might consider that teenagers declaring atheism could be "playing" their parents to get out of getting up early on a Sunday morning, and to hang out at home in their jammies.
My unsolicited advice would be to tell these kids they are welcome to their beliefs, but instead of going to church, they will still have to get up with the rest of the family, dress nicely, and volunteer at a hospital or nursing home during the time the family is away. Like religion, community service also builds character!

Report on our Fourth Planting as a Shizuoka Forests of the Future Supporter
- A collaborative project with Hamamatsu City and Shizuoka Prefecture to help restore the coastal forests of Enshunada -
Aiming to assist with the restoration of the Enshunada coastal forests as part of our environmental protection efforts, Yamaha Corporation entered into an agreement with Hamamatsu City and Shizuoka Prefecture to become a Shizuoka Forests of the Future Supporter in March 2007, and the company is currently striving to successfully carry out a five-year restoration assistance plan designed to curb the serious threat posed by pine weevil damage to coastal forests.
This is a report on the fourth planting of saplings by employees of Yamaha Corporation and its group companies.
Approximately 150 people gathered on the day of the event, including employees and their families, individuals recruited from the general public, and related authorities. At the opening ceremony held before the planting, Yamaha Corporation General Administration Division Manager Hisayoshi Sato greeted the participants on behalf of the company, followed by a few words from Eiji Mizuno, Hamamatsu City's head of parks and open spaces. Mr. Otsuka of the Shizuoka Prefecture Office of Forest Resources' Division of Environmental Protection—the head office for the Shizuoka Forests of the Future Supporter System—also presented us with a certificate for our efforts in FY 2009.
This year, we moved to an area west of last year's site and planted trees indigenous to the area. Totaling 155 trees in all, the six species planted included ubame oak, camphor, and Japanese hackberry.
Participants were treated to a post-planting environmental lecture by Ms. Sachiyo Ota of the Hamamatsu Park Management Division.
For the second year running Yamaha Livingtec Corporation provided compost and mulch produced as a byproduct during manufacture of its system kitchens, and this contribution proved invaluable to our tree-planting efforts.
Going forward, Yamaha employees and the local citizenry plan to continue working in tandem with the community on afforestation and maintenance efforts, to help create coastal forests that serve a dual function—protecting against tidal surges and heavy winds in a disaster prevention capacity while also providing a healthy and relaxing environment to all who visit.

Tax dollars benefit trustees not residents To the editor: A moment of your time to review the recent decision by the Perry Township trustees to renew health care and life benefits without so much as......
notSocialist, You have to excuse my confusion. I did not see where Mr. White accused the President of destroying America. If Truth101 was indeed being sarcastic then I apologize to him because I missed it. Always a danger on message boards like this. As far as being vile, you are one of the most vile on this board.

"Here we have a man that wasn't even born in this country, creating a new scandel with every breath he takes and yet no one appears is doing anything.". There it is, another cry for some nut to take up arms made by a filthy coward. Another idiot who has been sold on the idea that the President was not born in the United States and is now claiming that same President is destroying America. I am sure you make a good Republican. It is amazing how stupid you people are. Anything that is negative about this President you will pick up and repeat like a broken record. You probably even have a phony Kenyan birth certificate framed on your wall. You probably believe in Intelligent Design and and think that Ted Cruz is a loyal American.

This idea their a public sector employee robbing the country blind is getting old.

Leon, you asked, why is this man still in office? Good question, why is he still in office? Here we have a man that wasn't even born in this country, creating a new scandel with every breath he takes and yet no one appears is doing anything. The House of Representatives has the duty to hold the president accountable. They have failed in their responsibility. As a result we have a non-American destroying our country. Once again, the Republicans have failed to protect our country just like they failed on 9-11.

Has nothing to with the other 535 pin heads who can not agree on anything. The same ones willing to shut down gov. because of ideals.
The same ones who just passed a 1.1 trillion budget with millions in pork barrel spending.
And just some statistics. The same ones you ***** about will have a 90% chance of being re-elected next Nov. Because of all the hot air people continue to put the same idiots back in.

The information provided here is meant to give you a general idea about each of the medicine groups listed below. Only the most general side effects are included, so ask your doctor if you need to take any special precautions. Use each of these medicines only as recommended by your doctor, and according to the instructions provided. If you have further questions about usage or side effects, contact your doctor.
Antithyroid medicines suppress thyroid activity. They are best suited for the treatment of Graves disease , an autoimmune cause of hyperthyroidism. The dose can be gradually reduced as the function of the thyroid decreases. It usually takes 6-8 weeks of treatment for the medicines to take effect and lower thyroid hormone to a healthy level. Until the treatment takes effect, your doctor may prescribe a beta-blocker (such as propranolol, atenolol, or metoprolol) to slow down the heart rate and relieve the jitters, sweating, and anxiety. When these symptoms subside, this beta-blocker can be reduced and then stopped.
About one month after you begin taking the antithyroid medicine, you will be asked to see your doctor for a repeat of the thyroid function tests and a review of your signs and symptoms. The dose of your antithyroid medicine may be changed based on the test results.
It usually takes 12-24 months of treatment before the thyroid produces a normal amount of thyroid hormone on its own. If hyperthyroidism goes into remission and your thyroid hormone levels return to normal, your doctor may decide to discontinue the medicine. However, some patients relapse when the treatment stops. People who have had severe hyperthyroidism, high levels of antibodies, and large goiters are most likely to relapse. But, it can happen to anyone. Therefore, all patients should see their doctor several times a year the first year after stopping treatment and at least annually thereafter.
The main antithyroid medicines are the thionamides:
These drugs interfere with the thyroid gland's ability to make hormones and with the peripheral tissues' ability to use it. These medicines can be taken with meals or on an empty stomach. It is important to always take them at the same time in relation to meals. Food affects the amount of medicine your body absorbs into the bloodstream. Therefore, always take your medicine with meals or always take it on an empty stomach.
Methimazole is the preferred drug of choice because of its reduced risk of adverse events. Another plus is that the medicine only needs to be taken once daily. Propylthiouracil is usually taken three times a day. This medicine is considered the second choice. But, if you are in your first trimester of pregnancy or if you cannot take methimazole, your doctor may have you take propylthiouracil. Carbimazole is yet another option to treat hyperthyroidism.
Possible side effects include:
These side effects may go away spontaneously or after switching to another antithyroid medicine.
Important, but rare side effects include:
Since agranulocytosis is rare and is not predictable by doing blood tests, your doctor must rely on your medical history to determine if this complication may occur. Many doctors obtain a baseline blood count and liver function tests before starting the medicine. If you notice a high fever or serious infection while taking antithyroid medicine, tell your doctor right away. The medicine will need to be stopped if tests show agranulocytosis.
Common names include:
Beta-blockers slow the heart rate. They are also helpful for reducing a rapid heartbeat, anxiety, or tremors. These are all symptoms that can occur with hyperthyroidism. Do not stop taking a beta-blocker without checking with your doctor first. If you stop right away, it can cause a dangerous increase in blood pressure.
Possible side effects include:
Many of these side effects may go away spontaneously as your body gets used to the medicine. Any breathing problems, however, can be serious. Report them to your doctor. Your medicine may need to be stopped or substituted.

Dover, DE (Sports Network) - Brad Keselowski moved back into the points lead in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship after winning Sunday's AAA 400 at Dover International Speedway.
Keselowski conserved enough fuel late in the race and grabbed the lead when Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin were forced to pit for fuel after running first and second with less than 10 laps remaining. Keselowski then held off Jeff Gordon at the finish by one second for his fifth win of the season and the ninth of his Sprint Cup Series career. He has won two of the first three races in the Chase. The Penske Racing driver kicked off the postseason in NASCAR's premier series with the win on Sept. 16 at Chicagoland.
Mark Martin finished third, while Jimmie Johnson and Carl Edwards rounded out the top-five. Johnson led in the late going, in hopes of winning at Dover for a record eighth time, but had to give up the top spot in order to save enough fuel to finish the race.
Busch, who dominated most of this race by leading 302 laps, ended up finishing seventh, while Hamlin, the pole sitter, settled for eighth.
Keselowski now holds a five-point lead over Johnson. The fourth round in the 10-race Chase takes place next Sunday at Talladega.

Lebrun can be very biased, just saying. He is knowledgeable, but some of the stuff he writes is just ridiculous
Biased how? Toward Canadian teams, or certain players, or what? I'd never suggest that he's not wrong from time to time, but I certainly don't get the impression that he has some axe to grind in favor of a particular team, conference, player, etc.

The couple tied the knot in front of close friends and family at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, the ceremony moved indoors from the English garden after CNN meteorologist Jen Delgado predicted bad weather.
"Our day exceeded my wildest dreams," Sesay tells PEOPLE. "It was magical. When I saw Leif standing at the end of the aisle, I felt as if my heart would explode. I married the man of my dreams in front of the people we care about the most. And then we partied the night away."
The bride wore a strapless, custom Amsale gown featuring elaborate beadwork.
"Amsale herself was with me as I tried on different dresses at her Madison Avenue showroom in New York," Sesay says. "She was wonderful. After trying on a number of gowns, Amsale, my stylist Stacey Brice Washington and I agreed that this was the dress for me!"
Sesay, 37, is an anchor/correspondent for CNN International and newsreader for Anderson Cooper 360. She met Coorlim, 34, executive editor of The CNN Freedom Project" – a CNN-wide campaign to help end child prostitution and forced labor in the United States and around the world – in 2008 at the network where they both still work.
There is one piece of news, however, that Coorlim – who was born in California but grew up in Chicago and Portland – won't share with his journalist wife: The location of their honeymoon! That remains a secret.

Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Pregnant women experiencing nausea and vomiting have a new treatment option, now that FDA has approved Diclegis® (doxylamine succinate and pyridoxine hydrochloride or vitamin B6) as the first drug approved for morning sickness in a half-century—a comeback for a drug withdrawn from the market 30 years ago.
Under its old trade name of Bendectin, Diclegis was pulled from market in 1983 after its manufacturer at the time, Merrell Dow, concluded the cost of defending the drug against lawsuits claiming birth defects would be too much to spend. Merrell Dow was not acting under FDA pressure, since the agency considered the drug safe and effective since approving it for market in 1956, and said as much in response to citizen petitions made to the agency at the time.
Later studies, however, found that Bendectin had not raised the ratio of 1 in 33 U.S. babies born with birth defects. In 2004, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists issued guidelines calling the combination of Bendectin's active ingredients a first-line therapy. Indeed for years, Diclegis' Canadian maker Duchesnay has marketed a generic version of the drug in its home country.
Duchesnay said in a statement that Diclegis "is expected to be widely available in the U.S. by the end of May."
Diclegis is intended for women who have not made adequate dietary and lifestyle changes to manage morning sickness—such as eating several small meals instead of three large meals, eating bland foods that are low in fat and easy to digest, and avoiding smells that can trigger nausea.
Unlike Bendectin, Diclegis has a coating for delayed-release to encourage women to take the tablet before experiencing nausea and vomiting, which affect 70% to 85% of pregnant women. The initial dose calls for two tablets to be taken at the start of treatment, once daily on an empty stomach. The dose can be increased to a maximum recommended four tablets daily—one in the morning, one mid-afternoon, and two at bedtime—if smaller doses do not adequately control morning sickness symptoms.
FDA approved Diclegis following a Phase III trial in which the drug was studied in 261 women experiencing nausea and vomiting due to pregnancy. Study participants were at least 18 years old and had been pregnant between 7 and 14 weeks. Women were randomly assigned to receive two weeks of treatment with Diclegis or a placebo.
Trial results showed that women taking Diclegis experienced greater improvement in nausea and vomiting than those taking placebo. More important, the study found that the combination of active ingredients in Diclegis did not pose an increased risk of harm to the fetus, allowing FDA to grant the drug the status of Pregnancy Category A.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - Principal Greg Dettinger of Truckee High School announced Nicolaas Kuyper has been name a Commended Student in the 2013 National Merit Scholarship program.
A Letter of Commendation from the school and National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC), which conducts the program, will be presented by the principal to this scholastically talented senior.
About 34,000 Commended Students throughout the nation are being recognized for their exceptional academic promise. Although they will not continue in the 2013 competition for National Merit Scholarship awards, Commended Students placed among the top 5 percent of more than 1.5 million students who entered the 2013 competition by taking the 2011 preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test.
"Recognizing academically talented students plays a fundamental role in the advancement of educational excellence within our nation," said an NMSC spokesperson.
"My mom, dad, and friends have given me the will to succeed," said Kuyper. "As long as I have them and I remember to keep having fun, I'll have a solid future after high school."
