Manny, Diego, and Sid embark upon another adventure after their continent is set adrift. Using an iceberg as a ship, they encounter sea creatures and battle pirates as they explore a new world. Scrat's nutty pursuit of the cursed acorn, which he's been after since the dawn of time, has world-changing consequences - a continental cataclysm that triggers the greatest adventure of all for Manny, Diego and Sid. In the wake of these upheavals, Sid reunites with his cantankerous Granny, and the herd encounters a ragtag menagerie of seafaring pirates determined to stop them from returning home. Stars Ray Romano, Denis Leary and John Leguizamo.
"Safety Not Guaranteed" R, 1:26, Maui Mall Megaplex
This science-fiction-tinged oddball comedy is a small movie with a lot of heart. Three magazine employees head out on an assignment to interview a guy who placed a classified ad seeking a companion for time travel. The crazy premise serves as the launching pad for a scrappy and romantic romp that delivers some soul-searching moments as well as a steady stream of laughs. Stars Aubrey Plaza, Jake M. Johnson and Karan Soni. Colin Trevorrow directs.

"Katy Perry: Part of Me" PG-13, 1:52, Kaahumanu 6, Wharf Cinema Center
A documentary that chronicles Katy Perry's life on and off-stage stars, of course, Katy Perry, along with actors Shannon Woodward and Lucas Kerr. The ex-wife of Russell Brand is known for her pop songs and concert tours with hundreds of screaming fans. Now, she's gearing up so that we may take an inside look at her life while she's on tour, backstage and with her loved ones. Fans will be enthralled by the 3-D diary that goes behind the scenes to show how much fun she's having as a 27-year-old diva.
"Savages" R, 2:10, Kaahumau 6 and Front Street Theaters.
Entrepreneurs Ben, a peaceful and charitable marijuana producer, and friend Chon, a former Navy SEAL, run a lucrative, homegrown industry - raising some of the best weed ever developed. They also share a one-of-a-kind love with Ophelia. Life is idyllic in their Southern California town . . . until the Mexican Baja Cartel decides to move in and demands that the trio partners with them. Oliver Stone directs this crime thriller and Benicio Del Toro, John Travolta, Taylor Kitsch and Uma Thurman star.
"To Rome with Love" R, 1:51, Maui Mall Megaplex, Kukui Mall.
This romantic comedy written and directed by Woody Allen stars Alec Baldwin, Judy Davis, Roberto Benigni and Penelope Cruz. Allen traverses between four dfferent stories and each of them connect in a way. While on his holiday in Rome, an architect helps a young man with his love woes. In perhaps the best of the four pieces, Allen appears as an opera director who doubts his own actions. In the third piece, Cruz plays a prostitute who is passed off as the John's wife. And, last but not least, Benigni is propelled to stardom and then is stalked by paparazzi.
"Moonrise Kingdom" PG-13, 1:34, Maui Mall Megaplex
Set in 1965, a pair of young lovers flee their New England town, which causes a local search party to fan out and look for them. Various factions of the town mobilize to search for the couple and the town is turned upside down. The boy (Jared Gilman) has escaped summer camp to seek out the girl (Kara Hayward) whom he met the year before and became pen pals with. He applies his all-around scouting skills and the girl brings her library books and cat in a basket. Wes Anderson directs. In addition to Bill Murray and Frances McDormand, who play the girl's parents, the film stars Bruce Willis as the town's police officer.
"Ted" R, 1:46, Kukui Mall, Front Street Theaters, Maui Mall Megaplex
John makes a Christmas miracle happen by bringing his one and only friend to life, his teddy bear. The two grow up together and John must then choose to stay with his girlfriend or keep his friendship with his crude and extremely inappropriate teddy bear, Ted. Seth MacFarlane, creator of TV's "Family Guy," is screen writer and director. He also stars in the movie with Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis. Ted is MacFarlane's first attempt at writing and directing a live-action comedy. It is filled with racial, sexual and raunchy humor. There is also a large helping of pop culture thrown in for good measure.
"Magic Mike" R, 1:50, Maui Mall Megaplex, Wharf Cinema Center
Mike, an experienced stripper, takes a younger performer called The Kid under his wing and schools him in the arts of partying, picking up women, and making easy money. Actor Channing Tatum (who plays Mike) puts on an inspired performance, thanks in part to his pre-Hollywood experience as a male stripper. Alex Pettyfer and Olivia Munn also star. Director Steven Soderbregh taps into the erotic energy that helped bring him fame more than 20 years ago with "Sex, Lies and Videotape."
"People Like Us" PG-13, 1:35, Maui Mall Megaplex
A man is tasked with delivering $150,000 of his deceased father's fortune to the sister he has never met.

The clan includes George's wife, Kate; his senile mother, Barbara; teenage daughter Cindy; and spoiled 7-year-old son Howie. Screenplay and direction is by Tyler Perry, who also stars in the film with Eugene Levy and Denise Richards.
"The Amazing Spiderman" PG-13, 2:16, Front Street Theaters, Kukui Mall, Maui Mall Megaplex.
Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy, and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents' disappearance-leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors, his father's former partner. As Spiderman is set on a collision course with Connors' alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero. Stars Andrew Garfield, Emma Stone and Rhys Ifans. Marc Webb directs.
"Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" R, 1:45, Maui Mall Megaplex.
Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, discovers vampires are planning to take over the country. He makes it his mission to eliminate them.

The Unholy Pursuit of God in Moby Dick
from Tim Challies Aug 09, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineHere is a unique title for a Tabletalk article: "The Unholy Pursuit of God in Moby Dick." This is the title of R.C. Sproul's contribution to the August issue. It begins like this... Keep Reading
Writing for God's Glory
from Tim Challies Aug 02, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineEach of us was born with an imagination. Since creation, we have possessed the ability to form unseen images and original ideas in our minds — to visualize neverbefore seen characters and to craft intricately interwoven themes never experienced by anyone at any time in history. With our imaginations, we create stories and thus create imaginary worlds where there are heroes and villains, brave little hobbits, and great white whales. Keep Reading
"What do you get when you ask an introvert to write an article about friendship?"
from Noël Piper Jul 28, 2011 Category: Tabletalk Magazine"I was sixty years old when this story began — when I was forced to have friends. I am ashamed that, until then, I could have remained so ignorant of what God intended friendship to be. At the same time, I am filled with gratitude that God didn't leave me alone." Read the whole thing. Keep Reading
Amazing Love
from Tim Challies Jul 21, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineThis month's issue of Tabletalk includes an article from John Piper titled "Amazing Love." It begins like this: The love of Christ for us in His dying was as conscious as His suffering was intentional. "By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us" (1 John 3:16). If He was intentional in laying down His life, it was for us. It was love. "When Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end" (John 13:1). Every step on the Calvary road meant, "I love you." Keep Reading
An Interview with Matt Chandler
from Tim Challies Jul 19, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineMatt Chandler serves as lead pastor of the Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas. He has become a leader in the evangelical world through his ministry at the Village Church, his involvement in the Acts 29 Church Planting Network, his teaching at multiple conferences, and most recently through his faithful witness to Jesus Christ while battling a malignant brain tumor. Keep Reading
A Sacrificial Ethic
from Tim Challies Jul 14, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazinePaul the apostle wrote to the Romans, encouraging them to "present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship" (12:1). The notion of sacrifice may seem foreign to our contemporary ears today, but it certainly would not have been so during the first century when the apostle penned these words. In fact, the image of sacrifice was implicit in just about everyone's understanding of worship in antiquity. It makes perfect sense, therefore, for Paul to exhort his readers to spiritual worship using the imagery of sacrifice. Keep Reading
A Culture of Sacrifice
from Tim Challies Jul 12, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineIt was October 25, 2007, and the moon shone brightly over the rugged terrain of eastern Afghanistan. Elements of 1st Platoon, B Company (173rd Airborne Brigade), walked cautiously back to their outpost after completing their assigned mission. But unknown to them, an unseen enemy waited in ambush. In the three minutes of confusion and chaos that comprised this surprise attack, then Specialist Sal Giunta responded under the intense enemy fire with such courage that he was nominated for, and eventually received, America's highest award for valor, the Medal of Honor. When asked why he braved incessant machine-gun and small-arms fire during the ambush to charge the enemy alone in search of one of his fellow soldiers, his straightforward reply was, 'He would have done the same for me.' Keep Reading
The Bonds of Brotherhood
from Tim Challies Jul 07, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineThis month's Tabletalk examines the need to foster fraternity and genuine friendship within the church. In his contribution to the issue R.C. Sproul ponders the word fraternity. "Fraternity … what does this word mean? It can refer to several distinct types of associations or relationships, and the church can learn valuable lessons by exploring these in more depth. The term fraternity may prompt us to recall the motto of the French Revolution: 'Liberty, Fraternity, Equality.' Fraternity, along with equality and liberty, ranked right at the top of the concerns of that revolution." Keep Reading
A Generation of Heroes
from Tim Challies Jul 05, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineSatan watches for those vessels that sail without a convoy," wrote Puritan pastor George Swinnock (1627–1673). Every individual knows he was created for community. Isolation is the Devil's playground, and our Enemy is on the lookout for the Christian who thinks he can stand alone in independent isolation from the fellowship, accountability, and encouragement of faithful brothers and sisters. Keep Reading
The Perils and Promise of Social Media
from Tim Challies Jun 28, 2011 Category: Tabletalk MagazineChurch leaders today find themselves caught between two equally valid but competing realities. Social media have become valuable, even necessary, tools for teaching and exercising leadership. Yet Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and blogs cannot substitute for the local church, which is a living testimony to Jesus Christ. Striking the right balance requires wisdom and discernment to prioritize the local church while learning the strengths and weaknesses of social media. Keep Reading

Parkland faces new fine after maternity, cardiac patient deaths
This post was updated at 3:40 p.m. today, Dec. 4, 2012 and again at 10:10 a.m Dec. 5.
State regulators are hitting Parkland Memorial Hospital again because of patient-safety breakdowns.
Dallas County's troubled public hospital failed to investigate two sudden, unexpected deaths and a third case in which a patient "was suspected of having blood transfusion complications," the Texas Department of State Health Services says. Such internal investigations are legally required.
One death involved a cardiac patient on the day of scheduled discharge. The patient was experiencing rapid heartbeat and low blood pressure when injected with metoprolol, a drug often used to treat high blood pressure.
"Less than one minute later, patient became unresponsive" and soon died, says a violation notice that DSHS sent to Parkland last week.
The second cited death involved a pregnant woman who came to the labor and delivery unit "with complaints of leaking amniotic fluid." The next day, she felt nauseated, had trouble breathing and suffered a seizure. She died as doctors prepared for a possible cesarean section. So did the fetus.
The violation notice doesn't say what happened to the transfusion patient. All the cases occurred this summer.
Parkland hasn't responded to a request for comment about this matter. UPDATE #1: Parkland spokeswoman April Foran just issued this comment via email: "Parkland has received three findings of violations that will cost the hospital $650 each. One violation was for a documentation error. The other two were in response to Parkland's failure to follow its policy regarding investigations of adverse events. Neither issue put any patient at clinical risk.
"These findings resulted from issues Parkland self-reported to the state. Since summer, when these events occurred, Parkland has redesigned its Quality and Patient Safety Department in order to streamline and speed up our reporting of adverse events to the state. On the documentation issue, our nursing department implemented corrective education to ensure all reports are completed correctly in the future. Parkland has been and will continue to cooperating fully with the state on these types of issues." Continue reading

Xbox lot of 42 games!!! Rare! - $600 (Noblesville )
Date: 2012-04-29, 11:01PM EDT
Reply to: [Errors when replying to ads?]
Great titles!!!!
(End of Ad.)
So I'm tempted to f*** with this guy, maybe send him an email and say somethin like "wow what a great valuable collection u have there, is it still available?" of course he will say yes, considering no one in their right mind would pay near $600 for it. I will then proceed to make him an offer of $20, and post his reaction here for you all to enjoy. sound like fun?
So you bullied a seller into lowering their price? You must be proud of yourself. I only wonder what kind of offer you would've thrown my way when I sold my PS2/Xbox collection of 100 or so games on here for $550 or so to a fellow CAG four years ago.
How am I a dick? This guy just flat out lies in his response to me. He's an obvious scammer, he replied to the xbox collection ad with "I'll throw in UFC undisuputed 2009 for ps3 for free. It's $30 at gamestop used, so this is a great deal." this guy isnt an innocent misinformed guy, it's a scammer and a liar. And people get what they deserve for being lazy and not researching their shit regardless. So i have no sympathy for stupidity
So i sent him a response asking if he would like $21 for his collection, $0.50 a game, and $23 if he throws in UFC. Then sent him links to gamestop's website for the "$30 game at gamestop" (it's $2.99 at gamestop)
EDIT: after sending him that email, he changed his price to $350 instead of $600
There were only a handful of 'rare' titles and most of it was duplicates across both platforms. I had to field a ton of ignorant/cherry picking responses till I finally got one person who bought everything in one shot.
But the point is that someone <gasp> did buy my mega game lot for almost $600 shipped.
That's why I normally don't read this thread, since people on here seem to be of the typical CL buyer mentality. They view CL as a flea market where people should price their stuff at bottom dollar prices, while I view it as a place to sell my stuff w/o being nailed by Amazon/eBay fees out the wazoo and I expect to get market value or just under for the items.
Yeah, seems like you're just trying to be a dick now.
Of course most of the stuff I put up for sale on there(and here) is stuff that I just won't sell unless I get what I'm willing to let it go for anyway.

on March 6, 2013 - 12:30 AM
The animal cruelty trial of Beth Lynne Hoskins officially resumed Tuesday after nearly a 100-day lapse since late November due to various adjournments and delays.
The SPCA's second in command testified about the day of the raid at Hoskins' Morgan horse farm in the Town of Aurora nearly three years ago.
In a surprise, the issue of Hoskins being ill and the possibility of her doctors testifying Tuesday about her health never materialized. Two weeks ago her defense attorney had raised concerns about her health, indicating she would be undergoing medical tests. The defense had asked for an adjournment until next Monday, but that was not granted.
The defense did not have any medical doctors or experts to put on the stand Tuesday, and the trial moved forward, as Aurora Town Justice Douglas Marky had said it would if no medical witnesses were brought to court.
Hoskins is in the midst of a nonjury trial on 74 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty stemming from the March 18, 2010, raid.
Asked afterward what had happened since the issue of Hoskins' health seemed so urgent two weeks ago, her attorney, Thomas J. Eoannou, said: "We want to bring this to a verdict. The priority at this point is to move this trial along."
Tuesday's session included an unexpected appearance by a new attorney, Gregory L. Davis, who showed up on Hoskins' behalf and entered the judge's chambers for a conference but later said he has no role in the criminal case.
Davis ended up staying through the one-hour testimony of Beth Shapiro, deputy director of the SPCA Serving Erie County, which conducted the raid and seizure of 73 horses, as well as cats and dogs, from Hoskins' farm.
She testified about coordinating with other SPCA staff, including director Barbara Carr, on five plans tied to the execution of the search warrant and subsequent inspection of Hoskins' farm. One plan involved seizing the animals, if warranted.
Under cross-examination, she acknowledged that plans had been put in place to have the Niagara County Fairgrounds ready on standby, in case animals needed to be taken there.
Testimony is scheduled to resume at 2:15 p.m. Monday, with Dr. Charlotte Tutu, a veterinarian from Canada, taking the stand for the prosecution. She was at the farm the day of the raid.

The 5 Worst Marketing Failures in the History of Video Games
Earlier this week, after more than a decade of waiting, gamers around the world sat down to enjoy Diablo III. Most of them had already downloaded it the week before, but they weren't allowed to actually play it until the day it physically arrived in retail stores. After that, they weren't allowed to play it until they connected to the game's online server. When the servers were broken for most of the day, millions of frustrated fingers told the Internet how pissed off they were. Even the funny ones. However, as far as video game PR disasters go, it couldn't contend with these classics:
While psychology and elementary education majors are searching for their panties in a fraternity sleeping porch, marketing majors are doing a lot of homework. That's because launching a consumer product like a video game system is a complicated thing involving thousands of jobs. Despite careful planning and research, things always seem to go wrong. So maybe that's why Sega's idea for the Saturn was to say screw it and throw it into stores like it was a prank.
Sega told the world that the Saturn was coming out in September 1995, a week before the PlayStation. Then, surprise: In a desperate move to be first, four retail chains suddenly had the Sega Saturn in May. History has shown that a blind rush to be first is a great way to send confused monkeys and dogs into space, but it's not always the best marketing strategy. First of all, it meant that only six Saturn games were available at launch, and all of them were made by Sega. When Sega told everyone the thing was coming out in September, that included the developers making video games for it. It was like telling the shark delivery man at your door that you already jumped the tank, but he can still throw the shark on your lawn and see if anyone else wants to buy it before it dies.
So a gamer in early 1995 was looking at a Sega system that cost $399 and only had six titles.
This kind of stupid situation would have been familiar to them after the Sega CD and the Sega 32X, game systems that were designed to be less exciting alternatives to simply burning piles of money. Night Trap and Kriss Kross: Make My Video had already demonstrated that putting advanced audio/video technology in the hands of Sega is like giving a BeDazzler to a 5-year-old. Sega CD games looked like medical photos of body fungus with loading screens. And now that Sega had pissed off every retail outlet except four, and every video game developer except themselves, it wasn't looking good for the Saturn.
The Sony PlayStation cost $100 less and came out when it said it was going to come out, giving everyone time to do things like hang posters, show commercials and finish making PlayStation games. This turned out to be much better than Sega's strategy of telling all those people to fuck themselves and giving the Saturn a shorter life span than an overweight celebrity.
#4. Jamie Kennedy at E3
At the 2007 video game convention E3, Activision hired Jamie Kennedy to host their press conference. And I know what you're thinking: the nerd-pounding alpha male coming off the Oscar-snubbed hit Kickin' It Old Skool and a room full of video game players? This is going to be a bloodbath!
That's what he thought, too. He was going to dominate these stupid nerds so hard that he didn't bother to prepare. He got wasted and went on stage with nothing more than a few talking points about nerds not getting laid. As a comedy writer, I have a lot of respect for this one:
Jamie Kennedy spent the entire night mocking the crowd. We all get that every entertainer ends up doing gigs outside their area of interest. Why, just this week I got the worst blowjob of my life from a birthday magician with sad eyes. It could have been worse, though. If Jamie Kennedy was giving it, he'd not only barely try, he'd spend the whole time making fun of me for not having my cock in a bigger celebrity's mouth.
There's a reason Jamie Kennedy never gets movie roles as the bully. Casting directors take one look at him and say, "I should remember this little guy if I ever lose an arm and become a rapist."
That could be why his clumsy bully routine fell so flat. The jokes might have worked if there was a day care at the video game convention and Jamie told them to the five meanest children there. Of course he'd have to explain to them what sex was and why it's funny when people don't have it. You know what? Maybe his jokes wouldn't have worked anywhere. My point is that they especially didn't work at E3.
His drunken train wreck got shredded in the press. Jamie didn't get this explained to him, but E3 is the biggest media event for the biggest media industry. Most of the audience members he was mocking were journalists, and dozens if not hundreds of them wrote about it. Activision found out that if you show someone the 28th Tony Hawk's Pro Skater game and then have a boozy actor disrespect their genitals, one of those events is more notable.
As for Jamie Kennedy, he got less apathetic about gamers the moment they started making fun of him. He was still lashing out on Twitter four years after the event:
This is screenwriter/PC Gamer editor Gary Whitta and research analyst Michael Pachter discussing terrible moments in E3 history. Jamie joined the conversation by telling them they don't have the business savvy to know what they saw that night. Apparently only the stars of Tinseltown know what happens when you fill a lazy dick with liquor and give him a microphone. That being said, I don't think anyone is famous enough to explain how a professional comic wrote and/or told this joke in 2007:
The best thing about working in Hollywood is that you're better than anyone not included in the first part of this sentence. That obviously makes your Twitter comebacks easier to write. I mean, can you imagine how stupid this joke would sound if this wasn't world-famous Jamie Kennedy typing it? He said that those guys were masturbating to Legend of Zelda. That would be a strange thing to bring up in this conversation even if those guys really were masturbating to Legend of Zelda.
His insults are mostly stream-of-consciousness insecurities, and he can't punctuate, but Jamie Kennedy isn't stupid. This tweet was in response to a Kotaku.com article making fun of him and how that makes him more important than you, DORKS. In the middle of this, he realized that would make the DORKS who wrote it important and the DORKS they write about important. No big deal -- he saved it there at the end. Ha ha fuck you, insignificant article that is significant enough to talk about yet doesn't matter but proves I matter! Aaargh, why am I vanishing from existence!?
It's nice that Jamie Kennedy lets his barely educated and fully schizophrenic mother tweet for him. And I think we can all agree with her that no one should have to listen to a woman unless she's attractive. Hell, I won't let a female doctor tell me the results of a blood test unless she's an 8 and it's in Morse code with Kegel exercises. Oh, and Jamie Kennedy's mom -- you know the best part about women not counting as people when they're poor or ugly? It's that when we hurt their feelings, we don't have to live with it! Bark all you want, ugly women! Jamie Kennedy's mom and I can't hear you!
The guy who played a character named Will Pillowbiter on an episode of Mind of Mencia is right! Once you're on TV, you're not only a moral authority, but an everything authority. And if he thinks it's funny when he can spot the difference between Sonic the Hedgehog and sex, that makes you the asshole, unfamous nerds!
#3. John Romero Making Us His Bitch
In the late '90s, John Romero was as famous and successful as a video game developer could be. He had made Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake. He raced Ferraris. He had long, flowing hair. His jeans were more sizes too small than the number of jean sizes that actually exist. Then a teaser ad came out for his upcoming game Daikatana. It was a mostly empty red page that told consumers that "John Romero's About to Make You His Bitch" and "Suck It Down," and nothing else. It isn't a nice way to sell a game, but it is a great way to tell the lucky stranger on the other side of a hole that they picked the best stall.
Every person who saw the ad had the same thought: "How funny would it be if whatever game this is for turns out to be a total failure?" The universe couldn't help but overhear.
People hoping for failure weren't disappointed. It was a well-documented and epic disaster. From multiple delays to a hilariously bad demo with no enemies, it sucked in every way it could suck. We were promised genius entertainment, and in a way that's what we got, because Daikatana ran like Stephen Hawking. It was boring and tired, yet frustrating and broken enough to avoid the term generic. We figured correctly that the moment the creator invited us to swallow his ejaculate, it was never going to get more interesting. To his credit, Romero came out against the ad before it became the setup for the biggest culturally shared told-ya-so since Sh*t My Dad Says was cancelled.

Accountability: Longevity-based promotions offer no incentive to do well
February 23, 2013
Once again, West Virginia legislators are discussing criteria used to hire and promote educators in public school....
I agree that seniority should not be the number one (or even number two) most important criteria in determining teacher promotions. (Promoted to what, by the way? Do you know what crap jobs await the team leader or department head?) However, I am disappointed by this article's premise that teacher motivation is somehow linked to the possibility of promotion (again to a crappy and mostly unwanted extra assignment). Most teachers don't need any more incentive to do well than to BE a teacher. Maybe some of you sourpusses would be happier if you saw the sparkle in a child's eye the first time you awakened his sense of imagination, his sense of purpose, his sense of well-being. If teachers had their basic needs otherwise met, many would teach for free - if you stop bashing them.

Time for both unions to accept concessions. Seniority should no longer be a variable to ensure a teachers next promotion or selection. Time for some competition and accountability.

I'll tell you what we have NOT tried. School Choice. It is cheaper. It cost around $12,000 per student per year to educate a student in a public school. Only $4,000 to $5,000 in our private schools.
And lo and behold, studies have shown that when School Choice is introduced into a school system, it becomes the motivation competition that finally gets the public schools to do what actually improves public school student achievement, when there are means tested vouchers that follow the student.
Those that are benefitting from all that spending now, will spin (spin used to be called lies) and make excuses to tell you, oh no it wasn't the competition that got student achievement to finally improve, it was (whatever spin they dish out). SCHOOL CHOICE IS THE RIGHT CHOICE.

What has NOT been tried, to raise student achievement in WV from the bottom ten in the nation, over the past 40 years since the US Dept. of Education was formed to keep America #1 in the world in education, as we now have sunk to # 20 something? We have tried every new wonderful sounding solution, produced by the bureaucrats to justify their existence, guaranteed to improve student achievement. We have pulled out all the stops, spending more money per student than all but 4 other states. Someone is benefitting from all this spending. Obviously not the students. Our seniors can no longer afford the property tax increases.
Now the boys in Charleston are looking at the "education audit." The next new solution is recommending hundreds of millions be spent to buy everyone a computer, hire a computer operator for each school to run the servers, and pay for training of all the teachers to be able to actually use the things. Levy here we come.
I'll tell you what we have

, updated November 15, 2012 at 6:12 AM
By Jerry Sullivan NEWS SENIOR SPORTS COLUMNIST
Feeling a bit desperate, Bills fans? Grasping for any strand of hope? Here, I'll throw you a lifeline:
Back in 2004, the Bills got embarrassed on a Sunday night and limped out of New England with a 3-6 record.
Everyone but Mike Mularkey and a few hopeless optimists wrote them off. I was leading the charge, of course, calling for them to put Drew Bledsoe out of his misery and give the job to rookie J.P. Losman.
Then they won six straight games against feeble opposition, while teams above them in the AFC were faltering, and got back in the playoff race. They were still alive entering the finale at home against Pittsburgh. I'll spare you the rest.
"Yeah, Chris [Kelsay] told me about it," Kyle Williams said Tuesday at One Bills Drive. "They played the Steelers here to win and get in. There's no law that says that can't be done."
The law of averages might have something to say about that. But if it happened before, it can happen again. This is the NFL, after all, where the grinding mediocrity of the product is your best hope, however faint. It starts with belief, with one win.
"It only takes a spark to start a fire," Williams said. "And that spark is winning one game. If we can win one, I think that guys will feel good about making a run here late in the year."
You can spark your imagination by examining the schedule, which gets easier from here. Five of the Bills' remaining games, beginning with Thursday night's home game against Miami, are against teams with losing records. Five are at home. Four are against rookie quarterbacks, and another against Blaine Gabbert.
The tough stretch is over. They're only one game worse than a lot of people expected after nine games. If they had scored that late touchdown in New England last Sunday, the perspective would be radically different right now. But they're in deep trouble, and they have to win tonight to sustain any remote, outlandish hopes of making the playoffs. They know it, too.
"We have to win every game," said linebacker Nick Barnett. "It starts with this one. But the door is still open. I haven't seen it mathematically shut yet."
"That's the way we're looking at it," said center Eric Wood. "This is a must-win game. We've got a seven-game playoff left. If we lose one more, our chances pretty much go out the window of making the playoffs and having meaningful games in December."
There are lots of unsold tickets for the three remaining games at The Ralph in December. Meaningful games in the final month would be a welcome occurrence for everyone involved, but especially for the embattled head coach, Chan Gailey.
General Manager Buddy Nix gave Gailey a vote of confidence a couple of weeks ago. But if the Bills lose tonight, giving them four straight losses and further discouraging fans from investing their holiday cash in a reeling football team, it will turn up the heat on the coach.
The players are talking a good game and holding on to any whisper of hope they can find. But if the Bills lose at home against their historic rival, on national TV, in a declared "must-win" game, it might suck what little belief remains right out of that locker room.
That would not be a good thing for Gailey, whose teams have exhibited an alarming tendency to become discouraged, in games and during tough times. They lost seven in a row and eight out of nine last year. They lost their first eight in 2010. If not for a blocked field goal in Arizona, they'd be riding a six-game skid tonight against the Dolphins.
Lose tonight and they could go into another death spiral, one that would make it difficult for Nix and Co. to bring back Gailey for a fourth season. Dick Jauron went 21-27 in his first three seasons in Buffalo and was a dead man walking. Gailey is 13-28.
If the Bills won the rest of their games this season, Gailey would still be a game behind Jauron after Year Three. Anywhere else, he'd be on thin ice.
A year ago in Dallas, after his team had suffered a second straight blowout loss, Gailey said the Bills were "more a pretender than a contender." He said he was worried that the losses might damage his team's self-belief. But one year later, with a worse record, he wouldn't go that far.
"No. No," Gailey said Tuesday, seeming almost defiant at the notion. He said all he thinks about is the game in front of him.
Your players are calling it a must-win game, Chan. Are you saying you could be 3-7 and keep your players believing in playoffs?
"I don't know," he said. "I expect to win this game, so I'm not thinking of any other scenario other than that."
Maybe Gailey wouldn't entertain a discussion about his team's belief because he knows it points back at him. Some of his recent decisions have strained belief. The gaffes are beginning to pile up:
The ill-fated Wildcat pass in Arizona. Abandoning the run in Houston and claiming he hadn't prepared for the Texans to stay in their base defense against his spread. Calling a pass for rookie T.J. Graham on the decisive play in New England, rather than getting the ball to a proven playmaker.
Stevie Johnson said Tuesday that Graham hadn't even run that pattern in practices. He said Graham shouldn't be blamed, because he might have been put in a spot for which he wasn't ready. That was a direct shot at the coach, a rare critical blast on a team known for keeping issues in-house.
Weeks earlier, Kelsay had questioned the effort of some of the defensive players. Gailey continues to defend his guys, no matter what. You wonder what it would take to get a genuine emotional rise out of the man.
Tonight might be the most critical game of Gailey's tenure in Buffalo. He needs to turn this thing around now. If not, it could produce a different sort of spark, the kind that ignites not a fire, but a firing.

Minor in Theatre 18 credit hours
Introduction to ActingTHE 112
Introduction to Acting focuses on the beginning development of intuitive and creative performance technique primarily through daily exercises and improvisation. Exercises concentrate on centering, sensing, focusing, freeing, speaking, and feeling and doing. The goal is to create a strong ensemble that is fearless and an environment that is physically challenging to motivate breakthroughs in the actorÕs understanding of craft and performance.
Design I: Scenic and CostumerTHE 270
This course will introduce the student to the technical aspects of theatre and teach the student how design is a fundamental ÒcharacterÓ in any play. Students will be able to execute well-conceived aspects of design related to lighting, scenic, makeup, and costume design. Class features 12 hours of laboratory participation.
Theatre HistoryTHE 390
The myriad of theatrical events and experiences open to us have their roots in the theatre we have inherited--2500 years of western theatre and nearly 2000 years of Asian theatre. What are these many kinds of theatre, and where did they come from? These are the questions that Theatre History addresses. Theatre History examines the origins of theatre, the ways historians reconstruct the elements of theatre, innovations in theatre, and epochs of theatre history from the Greeks to the present day.
Theatre PerformanceTHE 201-202
Students perform in William Peace Theatre productions.

Duke University's beautiful R. David Thomas Executive Conference Center was the site of the IMF's third annual Support Group Leaders' Retreat, held the weekend of October 12th. Leaders from Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nova Scotia, and Japan attended, proving that the reach of the IMF is truly international. The hours were long, but the rewards were great for all who participated.
Friday night's reception and dinner gave participants a chance to meet and greet over a delicious meal. The guest speaker was Betsy Patterson, an experienced oncology nurse practitioner and herself a 17-year survivor of lymphoma. Her topic, "Planting the Seeds of Survivorship," was a perfect way to kick off the weekend and provided good, practical tips to myeloma patients and caregivers.
Curt and LouAnn Brooks, with Betsy Patterson
Saturday's session was quite full and very productive. Wisconsin leader Chuck Koval gave a presentation on "How to Get Your Group Going." This was followed by two experienced facilitators from Duke's Cancer Patient Support Program, Rachel Schannberg and Tracy Berger, who gave concrete and practical tips on the art of group facilitation and how to "Manage the Dynamics." A question and answer session allowed more exchange of information between all participants. Next we heard from Carol Svec, who gave a comprehensive talk on "The Art of Gathering Information." This well-received talk provided leaders with good methods of helping their members find reliable information and then sift through that information.
Midori Horinouchi and Ikumi Okubo of the IMF (Japan)
After a lunch break (and the food at the center was good and abundant!), we reconvened to hear Dr. Brian Durie discuss "Clinical Trials —Access and Options." Using one of the current Velcade trials as a "case study," Dr. Durie de-mystified the clinical trials process and solicited feedback from the group on what type of clinical trial information their members needed and how they would like to receive it. The IMF will use the results of this discussion to continue to improve how we share information about clinical trials with our patients.
Cindy and Bob Feltzin
The remainder of Saturday afternoon was led by Greg Pacini, who was back by popular demand. Greg's focus was on the "psychosocial" aspects of leading a group and the dynamics that dealing with a difficult disease like myeloma can create within the group. The topics of anxiety and grief were explored through song, discussion and action plans. It was both emotional and healing for the participants.
IMF Advocacy Consultant Greg Brozeit with Debbie Exner
Saturday night's dinner was again delicious and everyone enjoyed a chance to chat informally and relax. We also got a chance to hear from Dr. Durie about IMF research initiatives, including Bank on a Cure. Greg Brozeit updated everyone on IMF advocacy efforts and gave a brief civics lesson on the legislative process and how to use that process to increase spending on myeloma research.
Sunday morning's "Open Forum" gave the group a chance to discuss any unfinished business and to brainstorm specific problems with which leaders needed help. It was agreed that we should move next year's meeting back to the summer, if possible, and that Duke's facility was extraordinary. The retreat was a memorable and rewarding experience for all participants.

Trident Health has announced plans to construct a new 24/7 free-standing emergency department (ED) at the corner of International Blvd. and Emmett Davis Jr. Ave. A groundbreaking will be held Thursday, February 13 at noon at the project site, which is located behind the Bonefish Grill restaurant. Trident Health representatives, North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey, local elected officials and healthcare partners will attend. The site is located near the Tanger Outlets at the corner of International Blvd. and Emmett Davis Jr. Ave. Unlike urgent care centers, "Centre Pointe Emergency" will be open 24/7/365 and will be staffed by board certified Emergency Medicine physicians. Centre Pointe Emergency will accept walk-in patients as well as patients who arrive via ambulance service. "We're taking the nationally recognized quality care we provide at today's Trident facilities and making it more convenient and accessible for the Charleston metropolitan area," said Todd Gallati, President and CEO of Trident Health. The emergency department will provide diagnostic modalities such as CT/X-ray and lab. A dedicated ambulance bay and drop off area will be onsite for patients being transported by EMS. "Trident Health's new emergency center is ideally located to serve families and businesses in North Charleston and surrounding communities. The facility positions us to accommodate future growth with quality emergency healthcare around the Coliseum Complex and Centre Pointe developments," said North Charleston Mayor Keith Summey. The 12,300 square foot facility will feature 12 private patient-care rooms. Besides having the 24/7 onsite presence of board certified Emergency Medicine trained physicians, there will be 18 different specialists, ranging from neurology, cardiology, surgery, and others that the ER physician can call as back up as needed. This crucial aspect, and the fact that it will be open continuously and will accept EMS transports, distinguishes free-standing emergency rooms from urgent care centers. Gallati adds, "It's important for a large and diverse community like Charleston to provide various levels of emergency and urgent care." The total project cost is just under 10 million dollars; Trident Construction will be overseeing the project, which should be complete in late 2014. "A freestanding emergency department is an excellent way to provide continuous coverage in a very convenient setting. We will be able to diagnose and treat almost any type of patient quickly and efficiently," said Preston Wendell, MD, Director of Emergency Services at Summerville Medical Center. 0 0 1 506 2886 Summerville Journal Scene 24 6 3386 14.0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language:JA;} Trident Health is an HCA hospital system comprised of two acute care hospitals – Trident Medical Center and Summerville Medical Center – as well as Moncks Corner Medical Center.

The HP Child Support Enforcement Solution (CSES) helps state and territorial agencies responsible for enforcement of child support orders. It improves the efficiency and effectiveness of their child support enforcement programs.
CSES improves program outcomes through extensive automation, easy navigation within the system and an exceptional set of financial functions. It provides strong customer self-service features which reduce the workload on caseworkers.
CSES is a modular, configurable system based on service oriented-architecture (SOA). It logs all activity associated with a case with strong search and filtering capabilities. That allows workers to quickly locate relevant case data. It provides complete financial management of cases with strong audit and traceability controls. And it uses easily configured web services to connect to the systems of other agencies for location and enforcement actions.
Compounding problems for child support enforcement
The economic downturn hits state child support enforcement agencies on multiple fronts. Budget shortfalls often result in reduced agency staffing levels. At the same time, increased unemployment of non-custodial parents means less compliance with child support orders. That ultimately drives increased demand for public health and human services. So agencies ask staff to do more with less.
The child support program needs the ability to work with other organizations and agencies to obtain information and take enforcement actions. For many states this means interacting with more than 30 different departments and agencies. Effective child support enforcement requires this interaction to be highly automated. Aging computer systems lack the flexibility to do that efficiently, and in some cases automatically. That results in manual activities that increase caseworker workloads, delay enforcement and reduce its effectiveness.
A complete solution with links to the information and agencies you need
With HP's Child Support Enforcement Solution, our experts can incrementally modernize your existing computer quickly.
Our solution provides:
A partner with the experience and the technology

All students are required to complete a junior-year advising appointment with a faculty advisor in each of their academic programs (majors and minors). The primary purpose of this advising appointment is to clearly map out and review remaining degree requirements, with special attention paid to limited offerings and course sequencing within academic programs.
Forms for declaring majors and minors are available in the Start Center, each academic school office, or the Registrar's Office. Students who have completed this process and turned in the required forms and degree audits are then considered formally declared in their major(s) and/or minor(s). Students with junior class standing who have not met with a faculty advisor will not be eligible to register for upcoming semesters.

Using the same recipe for success since Day 1, the Tahoe Twins rode clutch pitching and hitting to a 4-2 win over the Reno Hornets to capture the Reno/Tahoe NABA Championship this past Sunday.
Twins starting pitcher Jesse Hildebrandt had been lights out all season, and the big right-hander did not disappoint in the biggest game of the year.
After allowing two runs in the first inning, he posted goose eggs the rest of the way, needing only 93 pitches to get through nine innings. He scattered 10 hits and recorded three strikeouts, and finished the year with a minuscule ERA of 0.80 to go along with his nine wins. The Twins staff as a whole posted an ERA of 1.01 on the season.
The Hornets pitched a fine game as well, holding the potent Twins lineup off the scoreboard until they scratched across a run in the bottom of the fourth inning.
In the sixth inning, however, cleanup-hitting first baseman Jesse Brown picked up Hildebrandt with the most crucial hit of the game. The always-dangerous hitter blasted a go-ahead, two-run home run to put the Twins on top, 3-2. The bomb gave Brown 100 RBIs in his time with the Twins.
Scott Decker then drove in an insurance run in the seventh inning on infield single before Hildebrandt closed it out.
The Twins managed just six hits in the game. Decker had two, while Drew Lipnosky, Steve Derby, Brown and Bobby Habeger each had one. Jamy Habeger drove in the Twins' first run.
On the season, the Twins posted a collective team batting average of .343, led by Cory Munoz's smoking .480 average. Brown finished at .478, while Decker hit . 424, Joe Thomas .377, Derby .373 and Lipnosky .370.
The Twins posted a final record of 19-2.

The father of Mindy McCready's son Zander believes that she might have killed her two children had they not been in foster care at the time of her suicide. Billy McKnight tells the National Enquirer, "She killed the dog before she killed herself, and I fear she would have taken those kids with her too, if they'd been there."
Mindy's former personal assistant Steve Darling has his own theory about her death. "Mindy was afraid that the cops were going to determine that she had something to do with David's death. I believe that's the reason she killed herself."
Mindy shot herself on the porch of her Arkansas home where, just weeks before, her boyfriend David Wilson had been found shot. Police are investigating whether Wilson's death was murder or suicide.

Griffin Swoop-in
"All I needed to do a Griffin Swoop-In was a friendly smile, a listening ear, and a desire to help our students feel at home on the Westminster campus," said one volunteer for a new program, Griffin Swoop-ins.
"At Westminster College we take great pride in connecting with our students," said Mark Ferne, Associate Provost for Student Development. While faculty and staff make those connections during their daily activities, this year, faculty and staff reached out to students where they live—in the residence halls.
Twenty four Westminster faculty and staff, with Westminster President Dr. Brian and his wife, Debi, visited students in the residence halls in the evening of November 11 to show interest in their personal success, to listen to them and address any of their concerns, and to connect and interact with students outside of the classroom. Ferne added that "We further hoped to reach out to those students who are unfamiliar with or whom otherwise might not seek out the resources available on campus."
The volunteers partnered up with Resident Advisors who escorted them to the halls. Armed with homemade chocolate chip cookies, the visitors spent an hour talking with students and hearing their feedback on life at Westminster and offering some counsel on getting involved. These weren't "cold calls" – the students were expecting these visitors.
"Our volunteers really enjoyed meeting students outside of the usual settings and seeing where our students are living," said Aimee Frost, director of residence life. "The comments from the RAs and the students tell us that this is a valuable outreach program and the students really appreciated getting to know some faculty and staff better. We definitely will continue to 'swoop in' again next year."

MORGANTOWN-Wide receiver Stedman Bailey enjoyed an outstanding season for West Virginia in 2011.
But the 5-foot-10, 198-pound redshirt junior from Miami, Fla., hopes to have an even better year for the team's benefit.
"It's nice to be recognized," Bailey readily admitted. He was told that he had been ranked No. 9 on a list of 25 Heisman Trophy candidates in the Big 12 Conference.
Article Photos
"I didn't know that," he said. "But, again, it's nice to be recognized."
As for the negatives, such as the Big East coaches' snub last year, Bailey said he'll use that as extra incentive. The coaches named him to the All-Big East second team while he was listed on the first team of two other lists.
Bailey caught 72 passes for 1,279 yards, the later a WVU single-season record (98.4 yards per game.) He ranked 13th in the NCAA receiving yards totals and No. 1 in the Big East.
He also tied for 52nd in the NCAA and No. 4 in the Big East in receptions (5.5 per game).
In addition, Bailey ranked third in the league in touchdown scoring (5.5 per game). He set a school record for consecutive 100- yard receiving games (five).
He led the team in receiving touchdowns with 12. That averages one save on every six receptions.
All in all, 2011 was simply a breakout season for Bailey, who had previously played with WVU quarterback Geno Smith at Miramar High School.
For his two years as a Mountaineer, he has played in 26 games, caught 96 passes for 1,951 yards and tallied 16 touchdowns.
"We've been putting in a lot of hard work this summer," Bailey said before heading for a visit with family and friends in Miami. "Now we're ready for camp.
"You always would like to show improvement every season. And I hope to be better this fall.
"But we do have a lot of depth, so we can rotate a lot of guys who are wide receivers."
Bailey noted that the Mountaineers did quite a bit of 7-on-7 work in strength and condition drills during the hot summer.
"Geno threw the ball a lot and we caught the ball a lot," he said. "Geno is as sharp as ever."
Fall camp opens on Thursday. The squad will have 19 practices over 15 days.
