Action packed date? He's trying to see if you can be friends.When you go on a first date with a dude, he usually picks the place. And good thing, because Bill Nichols, co-founder of 100RedFlags.com, says you can tell a lot from a man by what kind of date he takes you on. Here's how to suss out his intentions.
By Korin Miller
The Neighborhood Bar
He's a laid-back guy, and while it might not seem like he's trying, he is. Chances are, he's conscious of where he took you since he's looking for a girl who is equally laid-back.
His Deal: He's open to having a relationship, but his life isn't dependent on it.
The Indie Coffee Shop
He's making an attempt to be different. There's a certain level of maturity and confidence needed to choose a date that involves a lot of (sober) conversation. He places value in getting to know someone and isn't aiming for a one-night stand, which is more than you can say for a lot of guys.
His Deal: He knows what he wants and doesn't want to waste time finding it. If a connection is there, he'll explore it.
Something Active
You may be dreading his suggested baseball outing, friendly game of tennis, or walk in the park (what is he, 80?), but his approach is a good one. He wants a woman who he can share experiences with, and he knows there's no better predictor than going out and doing it.
His Deal: He wants to see if you can be friends. If you can be patient, you're in a good position if things start to escalate.
Related: 7 Signs He's Not The One
A Friend's Party
If he's inviting you to a party, he's obviously attracted to you and doesn't mind having you by his side. This guy may not have "settling down" very high on his priority list, but you can approach this date knowing that his intentions are clear: Let's have a good time and see where this goes.
His Deal: He might not be ready to jump into anything, but you could find a connection.
The Fancy Restaurant
On the surface, it feels right. You feel good, taken care of, and excited that someone with a real job is taking you to a real dinner. But make no mistake, a guy who goes straight for the nice dinner is going to expect that you'll hook up with him or that you'll at least go on another date.
His Deal: He could be looking for a three-month pseudo-relationship. If you like him and want to see where it could go, flip things around and suggest a date that isn't fancy.
The Spot Near His Place
If you live close to each other, it's a different story. But if he chooses a date spot that's much closer to his place, especially one within walking distance, you can assume that he wants you to try this "great hidden gem" so he can steer your date night back to his pad.
His Deal: He's probably looking for a hookup.
Related: 9 New Dating Rules for Getting the Guy
Cool Ethnic Food
He's thinking outside the box, which deserves some credit. Most guys play it safe, and his slightly more aggressive approach is the first test: He wants to see if he'll be pleasantly surprised by your love of hard-to-pronounce food and cool travel stories.
His Deal: He knows what he wants. If the feeling is mutual, you find yourself in a new relationship.
The Perfect Location
He nailed it. The place has it all. He somehow managed to choose a place that's not fancy (it's cute), it's not loud (it's conversation-level), and it's not romantic (it's cozy). He's no stranger to dating and making someone feel special, and whether he realizes his intentions or not, he's setting the scene to see if he gets lucky and sees his future wife sitting across the table from him.
His Deal: He might be ready to settle down. But he also might just be a total player.

Start your barbecue with our quality charcoal grills
When the weather is nice and sunny, a barbecue is a great way to enjoy the outdoors. Despite the advent of gas grills, many people still stand by traditional charcoal grills as the best way of cooking up tasty outdoor meals. The smell of burning charcoal alone is enough to cause mouths to water, and it brings back memories of backyard meals from the past. Grills impart a smoky flavor to the food that is hard to imitate with anything else.
The Char-Broil 30" Charcoal Grill is a popular product. With a 527 sq. in. cooking area, it has enough space to handle large family get-togethers. The cast iron cooking grates have porcelain coating to help prevent sticking. You can easily load the grill using the 258 sq. in. porcelain-coated swing away rack. The Char-Broil grill has an adjustable fire pan, temperature gauge and dampers for heat control. Two wheels and two casters allow you to easily move it around, and you can remove the ash pan for fast cleaning.
If you have limited space on your balcony or patio, the BBQ Pro Pedestal Charcoal Grill has a compact design, and you can fold it up for storage. The grill offers more than 270 sq. in. of cooking area with porcelain-coated steel grates for easy grill cleaning. The steel food prep shelves fold up for convenient storage. The manufacturer provides a 90-day a warranty with this product.
One of our top space savers is the portable Cuisinart GrateLifter Portable Charcoal Grill. Only 25.5 in. wide and 15.25 in. high, this grill is easy to carry. The Cuisinart GrateLifter offers 240 sq. in. of cooking surface, and the grill uses a precise air flow system for temperature control. The grate lift control allows you to add or arrange charcoal without having to touch the hot grill. Despite its compact size, the GrateLifter is large enough to handle full family meals.
Sears carries leading charcoal grill brands including Masterbuilt, Weber and Cuisinart. We also offer a complete selection of outdoor cooking tools. If you are looking for a specific brand name, use the options in the left sidebar to narrow down your choices. You can also filter items by price, body material and other selections. The sorting tool just above the product listings allows you to choose the order of the item display. If you need help making a selection, contact our customer service department. We offer phone, live online chat and email contact options.

[JURIST] Judges for the Special Court for Sierra Leone (SCSL) [official website; JURIST news archive] on Monday rejected [press release, PDF] a motion for acquittal of all charges filed by lawyers for former Liberian president Charles Taylor [case materials; JURIST news archive]. The Rule 98 motion for acquittal [materials], which was submitted [JURIST report] last month following the close of the prosecution's case, maintained that the prosecution failed to provide evidence linking Taylor to any of the charges. In denying the motion, the court found that there was evidence that Taylor had participated in the crimes. Reading the court's decision, Justice Richard Lussick said:
it is not necessary for the purposes of Rule 98 to evaluate the sufficiency of the evidence in relation to each mode of liability and that it is sufficient if there is evidence capable supporting a conviction on the basis of one of those modes. ... In relation to the alleged participation of the accused, the Trial Chamber finds that there is evidence that the accused participated in the joint criminal enterprise.

Upsilon meson
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A plot of the invariant mass of muon pairs, from the Upsilon particle discovery paper. The peak at about 9.5 GeV is due to the contribution of the Upsilon meson.
Composition | bb |
Statistics | Bosonic |
Symbol | ϒ |
Antiparticle | Self |
Discovered | E288 collaboration |
Mass | 9.46030(26) GeV/c2 |
Electric charge | 0 C |
Spin | 1 |
The Upsilon meson (ϒ) is a flavorless meson formed from a bottom quark and its antiparticle. It was discovered by the E288 collaboration, headed by Leon Lederman, at Fermilab in 1977, and was the first particle containing a bottom quark to be discovered because it is the lightest that can be produced without additional massive particles. It has a lifetime of 1.21×10−20 s and a mass about 9.46 GeV/c2.

Let's Go Red Wings!
Lefties lying about wanting to protect our children.
OK people, this needs to be said:
The push by the Left for new gun laws has absolutely NOTHING to do with them wanting to protect our children or stopping gun violence. If they were so concerned with protecting our children and stopping another Sandy Hook, they would be more open to other solutions in addition to gun control. They should WANT to protect our children with ALL means possible. They should WANT guards in schools, but the furiously oppose them, even though they have no problem with armed guards in banks where they keep their money, guards in stores where they shop, guards at sporting events and concerts they attend, guards at the side of the politicians and celebrities they adore, and most other places where security is a concern. But absolutely NOT in schools. To them, this is not an option. I heard someone from the Left the other day argue that it would cost too much to put guards in schools. Which astounded me because A: no cost should be too high to protect our children, and B: $16 trillion in national debt is no problem, but the cost of guarding or schools apparently is. They refuse to accept the problems this country has with mental illness of it's citizens, out of fear of hurting the feelings of people who have the problems. PC BS strikes again. When the word got out that the Sandy Hook shooter might have had Asberger's, the Asberger people immediately cried foul. So they avoid the mental health problem completely because they don't want to offend anybody. To them, addressing mental health is not an option. But alas, their ONLY solution is gun control. No other option is acceptable to them. Because their ultimate goal is NOT to protect our children, as they want you to believe; it IS to ultimately disarm us by any means possible. The far Left has ALWAYS been strictly anti -gun, and they are using Sandy Hook as a perfect opportunity to accomplish their ultimate goal. They have no concern or respect at all for the 999.99% of responsible, law abiding gun owners, or the constitution. They wish to deny us our right to defend ourselves to satisfy their hated of guns. A new gun ban will come, and when that one doesn't work, another. And another, and another. Until total disarmament is their only solution left. All they while lying to all of us when proclaiming their wish to protect our children. If they truly DID want to protect them, then ALL options would be on the table. But alas, only one is: more gun laws, and if they have their way, ultimately totally disarming us all. Don't believe their lies. Last edited by 3stratman; January 11th, 2013 at 09:03 PM. |

Regulations.gov overhaul aims to provide better access
Thursday - 3/1/2012, 7:23pm EST
Duncan Brown, EPA's branch chief for the eRulemaking Program
The eRulemaking program promotes better rulemaking by involving the public in the process.
Brown told In Depth with Francis Rose the site's redesigners looked to Amazon and eBay for ways to overhaul the site and make it more user-friendly.
The Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, headed by Cass Sunstein, also provided input into the redesign. Writing on the Office of Management and Budget blog, Sunstein cited the website's "innovative new search tools, social media connections and better access to regulatory data."
"The result is a significantly improved website that will help members of the public to engage with agencies and ultimately to improve the content of rules," Sunstein wrote.

Preacherman [Yumm Yumm Good]...a DJ whose dance music tastes are as varied as the friends he keeps. To him the 4/4 beat is the foundation, the canvas for which any possibility can lead to a feeling, a need; a want to DANCE. Since the age of 16, he has been into dance music; during that time he also set up a small DJ business with a couple of friends and they played the High School circuit for the next couple of years.
Preacherman came across 'House Afire' on K-Tel records sometime in 1989 and easily fell spell to the sounds and the rythms of Soul 2 Soul, Inner City and trax like Yo Yo Get Funky, Voodo Ray and Notice Me. Influenced by his dad's collection of Disco and Jazz; blended with his mother's Latin blood, he brings a rhythmic flavor to his sets; each one different in its approach, as he believes in sharing his ever changing mood through the sounds produced by the global talent in the scene today.
A weekend club warrior and an avid collector of MOONSHINE, Perfecto and Renaissance Compilations et.al; circa 1993-2000, the Preacherman would not begin to immerse himself in the DJ art until he set foot in the Guvernment, Toronto (c. 2005). A city which boast one of the most concentrated blend of underground talent and House Music lovers in the world.
Beginning in 2005 he has carefully networked his way into the DJ community sharing his passion for House Music. Through hard work, dedication and a genuine love of the people that have made this music the soundtrack to their lives, Preacherman teamed up with BOUNCE; their collective energies have hosted some great Funky House talent [DJ Sneak, Sonny Fodera, DJ MES, DJ DAN, Hector Morales, JT Donaldson, Jason Hodges]; having a direct impact in shaping and reviving a sound that is refreshingly welcomed in Toronto.
Preacherman has returned to New York after spending the last 8 years in Toronto. While he has left the scene as a club warrior, the beat has not left him and he has been preparing for a moment like this. His unique style of play and music selections are influenced by the likes of Steve Lawler [ViVa], Nathan Barato [Roots & Wings], Danny Howells, Hernan Cateneo, Deep Dish, Nick Warren, Dave Seaman, Ricky Ryan...the list can go on. When in the mix Preacherman imagines the dark rooms of some of the greatest undergound clubs he has visited around the world, creating a delicious groove energy from his crate of Funky Deep Tech Minimal Techno Producers.
"Preacherman brings an eclectic mix of groovy house music steeped in his 20 plus years in the House scene and more than 7 years of DJ'ing, playing the front room to the back room both in the US and Canada. Preacherman's sound is one of catchy rhythms, dubby basslines, dreamy synth layers, cinematic moods, and a playful approach underpinned by an infectious groove that will leave you asking for more." - DJ Mike Gleeson (BOUNCE/Footwork Resident/DJMIKEGLEESON.com)
You'll be in for a treat that much I can promise you. - Preacherman

Hello All;
I noticed that a member named ZAGG was on here who appears to work for the Zagg company, so this post is geared towards him, but others may find it informative about the product.
I recently (2 weeks ago) purchased a Zagg Mate Keyboard along with my new IPad. Being kind of hard on my devices, I really looked forward to the extra protection that the all aluminum case would provide me. The keyboard is really convenient, also. I also looked forward to the long battery life the manufacturer mentioned in the manual (about a month I think it said). The device was recommended to me by an associate at Best Buy, and although it was a bit expensive ($100), I thought that it would be a good accessory to get on the day I purchased my IPad. A day after purchasing the IPad and the Zagg Mate, I left on a business trip to Ohio. The keyboard appeared to be fully charged right out of the box, so I put the small USB charging cable that came with it into my luggage, and left on my trip.
The keyboard functioned flawlessly during my trip, and had a nice feel to it. On the last day of my trip, I noticed my keyboard wouldn't sync, so I assumed the battery must be low or dead. Since I had a few loose ends to get finished before I left back to Portland, I didn't get around to charging it before my flight home. After I got back, I plugged the cord into the keyboard and my IPad charger wall-wart and left it overnight to charge. The blue charging LED came on.
The next morning, I noticed the blue LED was off, so I attempted to sync the keyboard again, and much to my disappointment, it would not sync. I also noticed that flipping the switch on/off did not light the red status LED I had seen previously when the keyboard was working. So now tomorrow I will have to make a trip back to Best Buy to exchange it for another one.
I still like the product, and would recommend it. I believe it offers superior protect over some of the other products I've seen. I would however like to make some suggestions that hopefully member ZAGG can take back to the company.
1. The switch, compared to the rest of the product feels like a weak link. It is very hard to switch on/off, and well, just feels cheap. Minimally, I think you should raise the knurls on the switch so it's easier to turn on/off.
Judging on what I've read in other posts both here and elsewhere, I would suggest a redesign of it though. I've read about some other people having problems with the switch also, and I wonder if it's really why my keyboard won't turn on now.
2. The small rubber sticky feet that came with the keyboard to minimize scratching of furniture and to keep the keyboard from sliding around, are inadequate. I put them on when I pulled the unit out of the box, and they are all missing now (two weeks later). A better design would be to put some silicone strips or rubber feet that were screwed in from the inside of the case so they won't fall off.
3. how about designing in some kind of button or lever that would help pop the IPad out of the case? The IPad goes into the case quite nicely, but getting it back out can be a chore. I found that the easiest way to get it back out was to grab it by the charging slot, but a button (perhaps on the back side of the case would help immensely. I'm not sure I like pulling on my charging slot so much.
4. Add some speakers! I'm not sure whats inside of the case to the right and left of the flip-up stand, but I think if those areas are empty, it would be a great place to add some tiny external (to the IPad) speakers and a mini-amp. You might not even need an amp, not sure if the IPad's sound system would drive them. A small audio cable would plug into the IPad's headphone jack when it's sitting in the docking slot, and the cable would fit nicely in that same docking slot when the IPad is in the closed position.
5. Would it be possible to wrap the edges of the aluminum tray with rubber/silicone? The IPad fits quite snuggly in the foam you currently have around the inside edge, but the aluminum rubs on your wrists as you type and can get uncomfortable after a while. If you had a one-piece rubber or silicone edging, it would be much more comfortable, and would also add more protection when the IPad is pressed into the tray.
6. A more natural position for the down arrow would be in between the left and right arrows. Look at a regular keyboard, that's how they work. I constantly find myself hitting the down arrow when I mean to hit the right arrow.
In closing, I really do like the product, and when I return it to Best Buy, I will be exchanging it for another, and will still recommend it to other IPad users. I hope you will take some of the above suggestions into mind when you are designing the next one though, as I believe they would make your product next to perfect! When you do the redesign, please feel free to send me one for helping in it's design! Hehe!
Tony Walker
I do plan to copy this post over to the ZAGG website also.

Lynn Ridzon's "aha" moment came in the early 1990s. She was working as a planner in the marketing and communications department of Princeton, N.J.-based Squibb Corp. The company had just gone through a merger with Bristol-Myers Co., and things were a bit chaotic.
"I was in my office, and a colleague came in and said, 'I think you need to know something,'" recalls Ridzon. Her friend informed her that at a recent meeting, someone had inquired about what the meetings group at Squibb actually did. The answer from Ridzon's supervisor: "They go to meetings and hold hands."
"I thought, 'Oh my gosh, we're in trouble,'" says Ridzon. "If that's all they think we do, then either we're doing something wrong, or we are not getting the message across."
Convinced it was the latter, Ridzon began thinking about the perception of her department. "It occurred to me that we needed to be able to react and communicate in such a way that executives of the company would understand there is a core value to the meeting-planning function. That is when I came up with the idea of meetings consolidation and a strategy for managing meeting expenses."
The company already had mandated processes for managing individual travel and the expense side of the business, but meetings were largely an ad hoc function, with various people booking meeting space and signing off on contracts without authority. Ridzon put a business plan together and filtered it through the executive ranks until it eventually reached the president of Squibb, who was intrigued by the idea.
With his buy-in, Ridzon began building the model for meetings consolidation, implementing the process first for meetings within the Squibb Pharma Group. After the merger with Bristol-Myers, she expanded the program to include all U.S.-based meeting requests within the company for all business units.
Ridzon and her team at BMS were writing the book on meetings consolidation at a time when the meetings category had yet to cross the radar of most corporate execs. "It just made sense," recalls Ridzon. "I never had anyone say to me that they thought this was a crazy idea."
After 21 years at BMS, Ridzon is taking her expertise to a new level. A known expert in the field of strategic meetings management and a speaker at many industry events, Ridzon was recently scouted by Thousand Oaks, Calif.-based Amgen to join their team as director of strategic sourcing and procurement. We caught up with her to find out why she made the move and to get her take on what the future holds for the meetings industry.
Corporate Meetings & Incentives: About a year ago, you made the transition from director of global meetings management at Bristol-Myers Squibb to director of strategic sourcing and procurement at Amgen. What prompted you to make this change?
Lynn Ridzon: Well, I spent 21 years at BMS and was very happy there. I had an incredible group of people who worked with me, and we pretty much had things nailed down. It was sad to leave, but to be honest, the opportunity [with Amgen] came out of the blue. They contacted me, and I questioned them about the position because I wasn't interested in taking on an operational role. At this point in my life, I enjoy the strategic aspect of the profession. They explained that they were building the strategic sourcing and procurement area and were looking for someone to come in and manage the meetings and events category. One of the biggest factors in accepting the position was that my husband and I had been planning to move to California within the next few years, and with the offer everything sort of came together. As they say, the stars aligned.
CMI: How have your responsibilities changed?
Ridzon: At BMS I was responsible for tactical operations, sourcing, and strategic management of meeting expenses. Amgen has some really good best practices for meetings, but in a siloed environment, supporting marketing and sales in North America. My responsibility is to help develop a strategy in which we take the best practices already in place as well as other best practices and broaden the scope, creating an enterprisewide, global strategy for meetings management. We are also looking at [implementing] a more formalized preferred-supplier program and all that goes with a robust meeting expense management program.
CMI: You are a widely recognized leader in the industry. What enabled you to get to this level in your career?
Ridzon: I think a lot of it was just being at the right place at the right time. [While working at Bristol-Myers Squibb,] I had the opportunity to get to the right people and make a good business case. I think it was timely, and I was very fortunate in that I was given the opportunity to implement change and was recognized as someone who was doing something that was a little different, but something that was right for the company.
At that time, there weren't many people consolidating the meetings function, and as our program became more mature, it became important to me to get out there and help my colleagues. I have always been happy to share experiences and information and say, "Here is what we are doing, and here are some things you might think about doing in your company."
CMI: You are so passionate when you speak about SMMP at industry meetings. Why are you so dedicated to this issue?
Ridzon: Well, it's been my life, (laughs) and I enjoy it. I enjoy talking about it and doing it, strange as that may sound, but I think that's because I've been able to grow up in the industry, and I feel passionately about it. I think there are a lot of people out there who are desperately trying to put some sort of [strategic meetings management] program in place. I know that a lot of companies are looking to their corporate travel managers to lead that effort because, in many cases, it is the travel managers who have successfully consolidated individual business travel. But you need to be careful and understand that meetings are a whole different model.
CMI: What do you think our industry needs to do to develop more leaders?
Ridzon: I think the strategic work that a number of us in the industry are doing needs to be better communicated and understood. If you are asked to participate in an advisory board or council, do it if you possibly can. I know it's hard to make the time, but I would strongly urge people to participate in these types of activities outside their companies. Getting together and networking with people is a great way to get your ideas out there, learn from others, and develop your reputation.
CMI: What do you see as potential growth paths for planners?
Ridzon: Because meeting planning provides an opportunity to work cross-functionally and enterprisewide, planners are able to gain a perspective on many areas of a company, which is a great benefit.
A good meeting manager has the skill set to move into a variety of other areas within a company, especially in marketing and sales.
CMI: Have you felt that being a woman either helped or hindered your career?
Ridzon: I don't think being a woman has had an effect one way or the other on my career. To me, the value of what you can bring to the table is what is important — not gender.
CMI: What is the biggest positive change you've seen in the meetings industry during your career?
Ridzon: I would say it is the formalization and recognition of the [meeting planning] profession in a company. Meeting planning has grown up, and it is recognized as a very valid career path.
I think the recognition of the fact that meetings represent a huge area of spend, and the increased professionalism of those managing that spend, have grown substantially over the years, and that is a very positive change.
CMI: What is your forecast for our industry in the year ahead in this difficult economy?
Ridzon: I see meeting managers being asked to do more with less — keeping up the quality level of meetings while reducing costs. I also see companies that do not have a strategic meetings management program accelerating plans to get more transparency around meeting spend. They're also introducing leveraged buying, and implementing a demand-management process. In other words, companies are asking the hard questions around why a meeting is being held, identifying the objective of the meeting, and determining how to measure the results.

Police said in a statement Tuesday the man was detained in a Madrid hotel where he had a 1.5-liter (0.4-gallon) bottle containing potassium nitrate, sulfur and coal dust, as well as a manual entitled "Homemade bombs and explosives."
The statement said he also had maps where the American, Chilean, Paraguayan and Brazilian embassies were marked, though authorities had no confirmation he intended to attack those buildings.
Police identified the man only as 48-year-old Alberto R.M. and said he was arrested Sunday after a hotel owner raised the alarm.
He had no known links to terror organizations or radicals.

NEW DELHI — NEW DELHI (AP) - Four men sentenced to death for raping and murdering a young woman on a moving bus have appeared at a New Delhi court where judges are reviewing the penalty.
The attack last December sparked public debate and fury over chronic sexual violence faced by women in India.
The men walked to the High Court under police escort Tuesday. Three uncovered their faces in public for the first time since the crime, while one wore a handkerchief tied over his nose and mouth.
The High Court could take months to hear arguments, review evidence and decide whether to confirm the execution orders, as is required for all death penalty cases in India.
The men's lawyers say they will appeal the convictions issued earlier this month.

Team positions are uncertain plus we don\'t know at this point who\'ll be in or out of the draft for sure. In their mock they had us taking Tiago Splitter, I\'ve heard about him supposedly being in the draft the last several years, but each year he pulls out.
Just out of curiousity, has anybody seen him play?

Well, the issue is simple. As an employee of a public school, she is a government employee. Her posting of overtly religious material means she is practicing her religion (and attempting to influence students to accept her religious beliefs) on government time. Would we tolerate a similar practice from a Muslim teacher? I think not. Religion belongs in the home and in the church NOT within a public classroom which is paid for by tax dollars and to which students are required by law to attend. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
So, a quote from the President of the US, Ronald Reagan, has to be censored, #1? Reagan was a government employee at the time. Can any President or any elected official make any religious reference or will that be overtly practicing their religion? And what does religion belongs in the home mean? Religion is meant to be practice openly, not hidden. It´s not that simple. Finally, I have only heard of Christians being told to stop, never other people of other faiths. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
I wonder if the same threats have or will be made to teachers who openly display quotes from the Koran in their classrooms.Bet not... Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
And we should continue to pay the exorbitant cost of government schools .. why?? Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
#1 you are privileging your own religious point of view, namely that God doesn´t matter, which is a point of view in itself. You are privileging yourself and not recognizing it; you are authorizing and encouraging the expression of only your own values. Silence about God is not a neutral position; it is more like being against almost everybody on Earth. I have no problem with Muslim teachers who want to put up their symbols, nor with Buddhist, Bahai, or Maoists or whatever. Go Ahead. I have a huge problem with efforts to shut up all of them. The ´Rats really do not have an instinct for freedom. Click Here if you Like this Comment 3 persons like this.
Is posting a mention of God or a Bible verse "establishing" a religion? The purpose of the First Amendment was to keep the government from establishing a church, like the Church of England. Where does this stop. If she wore a cross pendant, would that be prohibited, too? I can practically guarantee that if a Muslim posted a verse from the Koran, he or she would not be asked to take it down. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
The First Amendment partially reads that the government shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. What this teacher did does not violate those words in anyway. Until the early 1960s (Engle v. Vitale) prayers were regularly recited in public schools. Article 1, section 8 prohibits the courts from even hearing this type of case. Indeed, #1, religion does belong in the home, but it also belongs in the public schools.

´´Muise said the district also forbade her from any form of communication with students ´that would conflict with your duty to show complete neutrality toward religion and to refrain from promoting religion or entangling yourself in religious matters.´ ´´Wow! To think that Bibles were used as texts in schools in our early days.As former U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist stated, ´´There is simply no historical foundation for the proposition that the Framers intended to build the ´wall of separation´ [between church and state].´´You would think this battle would be over by now, but the devil doesn´t give up easily. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
#1, you are misinterpreting the First Amemdment. There is nothing in the Constitution that says we must keep all religious references out of government institutions. There is also no such statement written anywhere that calls for "separation of church and state". That is leftist false propaganda. It was only when the ACLU and Madeliene Murray O´Hair began their athiest crusades that we somehow allowed the leftist judges to make such determinations. But in truth, religion was never meant to be taken out of all governmental functions. Our Founders often had prayers before convening government gatherings. They even had services tied into official business. The actual words of the Constitution are clear. The Founders did not wish to establish a state religion--like the Church of England--where people were forced to worship ONLY one way. They believed in freedom OF religion--NOT freedom from religion.

Uhhh... The teacher was involved with the schools Bible Study Group. Of course she´d have Christian stuff in her room! Click Here if you Like this Comment 3 persons like this.
isn´t it perverse how the media can expose minors to every vice under the sun, while inspirational quotes and the word "God" are called unacceptable and offensive?and they ask why this nation is in decline. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
The students have some protection of religious speech in schools, but teachers have little.My guess is that because Reagan mentioned the words "Under God" that he has to be censored. Perhaps the sayings of "Chairman Obama" would have been left alone. Click Here if you Like this Comment 3 persons like this.

It is truly amazing to read of the immaturity of those who think themselves to be enlightened and thus must oppose, if not ban, any reference to, or even mention of, Christianity. They don´t seem to get quite as upset about Judaism, and are certainly afraid to speak in any way against Islam.These that view themselves as enlightened are actually cowards that are afraid of Christ and Christianity. A perfect example is those who call themselves these "Citizens United".These writers, like #1, do nothing to enhance education. Rather, they seek to establish a form of national religion that excludes whatever they do not want to hear. And those views do not represent freedom.

This middle-of-the-road, middle-of-the-Strip resort might not have the same cachet as most of its neighbours, Caesars Palace and the Venetian among them, but its parent company is one of the most powerful in town. The acquisition in 2005 of the Imperial Palace, which sits between Harrah's and sibling property the Flamingo, might have been the catalyst for recent change. The 35-year-old resort still plays the tired Mardi Gras theme, but fresh entertainment options, new eateries and just-renovated guestrooms have injected the property with a little spirit.
The guestrooms and suites in Harrah's three towers are comfortable and festive. Many have minibars, some have jetted tubs. The new deluxe rooms have updated decor and amenities.
Eating & drinking
There are no celeb chefs or brand-name chains here; all the restaurants are suitable for casual or smart-casual diners. If you're all dressed up, you'll feel most at home at the Range Steakhouse with its nice views of the Strip. Your next best bets are Penazzi Italian Ristorante and the Oyster Bar at Penazzi for Italian recipes, and Ming's Table, the gourmet restaurant formerly known as Asia, for crispy roast duck. Casual diners flock to remodelled buffet Flavors and the Café at Harrah's, which serves standard coffeeshop fare.
Veteran Strip headliner Rita Rudner moved here from New York New York relatively recently, and continues to draw crowds. But the best option is the family-friendly afternoon magic show delivered by the hugely likeable Mac King. Budd Friedman's famous Improv comedy club brings in fresh comedians each week. And you can listen to live country music in Toby Keith's I Love this Bar & Grill or be dazzled by the flair bartenders in the Carnaval Court.
Harrah's has a wide selection of table games, including Caribbean stud, Let it Ride and casino war. Most blackjack games are dealt from the shoe, but higher limits - at least $25 minimum - are dealt from hand-held decks. Beware the single decks, which have lower limits but pay a measly 6:5 for naturals. Occasionally, gracious pit bosses will bring out the European single-zero roulette wheel for high rollers. For lively action, take a seat in the cosily compact poker room, while the race and sports book offers booths and table seating.
