GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
This school is definitely an above average school. The students are well behaved, and there is a lot of dialogue between the administration and teachers.
Wow! This is, without a doubt, not just one of the best schools in New Orleans- it has to be one of the best schools in the United States. We have done it all: private school, parochial, and "blue ribbon" public in the northeast. Lusher leaves them all in the dust. Th arts-based education is what most parents only dream of: the perfect combination of academics and the music and art that make New Orleans special. Every morning the children have an outdoor concert with dancing, the pride rules emphasize kindness, and the parental involvement is second-to-none. We received a very generous job offer in another state, but refused it to keep the children at Lusher. I'm just jealous I didn't get to attend myself.
(continued from prev review) of the class, at the expense of going through more curriculum. While this is certainly appreciable, there are some kids who just don't have a very great appreciation for learning. There should be programs to encourage those who fall behind, as well as reward those who are a cut above their class. That being said, I realize the financial constraints these programs may impose on the school, and the "gifted program" does attempt to address this. However, the very nature of the gifted program at NOPS is a faulty one. The school receives greater funding for reporting more gifted students, so naturally it does. Consequently, what we get is a system where a large majority of the kids are gifted when they shouldn't be. This means the teaching process is not ideal. It goes too fast for some kids and not fast enough for others. Some kids fall behind in a vicious cycle, and the best and brightest don't reach their full potential. Lusher isn't ideal for everyone, but I have known plenty of people who went through Lusher, Ben Franklin, and then on to great colleges (myself included). In retrospect, there are many superior schools throughout the country - private
Lusher is an amazing school. It's student body is diverse. The arts focus is strong and strengthens the academics. The leadership is focused and consistent. The students are challenged. Overall the experience is far stronger and more rounded because of the addition of the arts, something that places Lusher heads and tails above its academics-only rivals. Two of my three children graduated from Lusher; the third (who attended the "other" academically superior high school) wishes she had stayed.
Lusher is a great school, academically. There are many things, though, that it can change. Even as a charter school, I feel that each year I am asked more and more for money that I don't see benefiting my child whatsoever. Lusher staff holds grudges on students that have messed up in the past a little and they don't treat all of their students fairly.
My graduated in 2009 and had a fabulous experience being a "Lusher" kid! I love the programs, teachers, staff and the unique students who attend.
I love everything about this school...the teachers and staff are incredible. May daughter adores her teachers and her studies! This is a grade A school. A+ A+ A+
Boys of color receive harsh discipline and large numbers of suspensions. This school lacks cultural competence. The school has little oversight and can treat students and parents as the administration chooses.
I absolutely love this school. The parent involvement is good, the teachers diverse, and the atmosphere is great! It is the best school in New Orleans.
I love its diversity and emphasis on the arts. Lusher has an hour-long exploratories class every day. The students attend a different arts-related subject for two-month time slots through out the year. Each child gets an opportunity to try dance, drama, visual art, music (including time with instruments) and sports as well, during the school year.
Lusher Charter School is very close to our home. It has a stellar learning environment where the children are treated as individuals. My daughter is a sophomore and is working on her second college course.
Compared to most, Lusher is a very untraditional school which is why it was such a good fit for me. All the students here tend to be very different yet also very accepting of each other, and while some kind blow off school work (which I suppose is why I've met some people who say Lusher is the 'easy school'), I've found my classes to be fairly challenging. Honestly you get out what you put in here which has so far been pretty worth it for me. The arts here are probably some of the best programs in the city, so if you're looking for a good arts education without having to be as focused on it as you might at NOCCA then it's a pretty nice mixture. But again, you get out what you put into it.
With 3 children, I have been a parent of a Lusher student for over 8 years. The best part about Lusher is the caring nature of the envirionment, the racial and economic diversity and the immersion of the arts. The teachers there amaze me every day, they go above and beyond. When discussing another high school option, my son emphasized, 'Sure, the teachers there care about how the school does, but at Lusher, they care about you. That said it all.
While Lusher has so wonderful positive aspects, there is just too much work piled on the kids. Knowing that college adults spend maybe 3 hours at school per day and sometimes have maybe an hour or two of homework, the kids at Lusher having 6-10 hours of school work plus homework is a bit ridiculous.

Fiat Raise a Smile with New Competition
Fiat launch the Smiles Per Hour Design Competition.
Fiat have always been synonymous with style and versatility and are always looking for ways to push the boundaries.
They have recently launched a competition designed to find new fun ways to travel, called the Smiles Per Hour Design Competition. The idea of the competition is to develop an invention that is a transporter of description and that makes the process of travel more enjoyable. It could be a redesigned version of an old method or a completely new and innovative idea.
Fiat have signed the presenter of TV's 'The Gadget Show' and BBC motor sports Suzi Perry (pictured) to face the competition.
"What a fantastic challenge," explains Suzi, "We're famous in this country for our great inventors, and I'm sure today's budding designers can match them all the way. The Fiat Miles Per Hour Competition is bound to generate some fantastic prototypes that, one way or another, can make getting from A to B more fun."

2011 NFL Mock Draft: Detroit Lions' Seven-Round Mock
By Michael Schottey ,
Heading into the 2011 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions have more needs than people think according to general manager Martin Mayhew. It's a good thing the Lions have had success in the past couple of drafts under this current regime.
With six picks in seven rounds, the Lions have an opportunity to fill a number of needs with potential starters or high-level backups.
Head coach Jim Schwartz believes in building in the trenches, and many fans feel both offensive line and defensive ends could be a focal point of this draft. In addition, the linebacking and defensive back corps were decimated by injuries in 2010 and picked apart by opposing quarterbacks.
Moreover, the Lions will look to help Matthew Stafford by finding a slot-speed receiver to pair with Calvin Johnson and a running back to pair with Jahvid Best.
To fill those needs, Detroit Lions should make these picks starting Thursday.
Scouting Report:
Da'Quan Bowers is, easily, the top 4-3 DE prospect of the 2011 NFL Draft. His size-speed combination is among the best the position has to offer and he has a pass rush pedigree as the number one prospect out of high school as well as the number one prospect in his draft class before a meniscus injury sidelined him.
The injury is a subject of extreme concern among NFL teams and their fans. However, the Detroit Lions are believed to have cleared Bowers (if one believes GM Martin Mayhew).
If Bowers is healthy, or at least cleared to play without future concerns, he will be an absolute steal.
Why He Fits The Lions:
Is defensive end the biggest need for the Detroit Lions?
No, absolutely not. The Lions have Kyle Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril—a terrific starting tandem—and a number of quality backups in Lawrence Jackson and Turk McBride. The Lions have flexibility along the defensive front and are able to play Ndamukong Suh and Corey Williams at end in run-heavy situations. Moreover, the Lions drafted Willie Young in the seventh round in 2010 and love his upside.
Da'Quan Bowers is an elite prospect and, needs aside, is the best player available—a mantra the Lions have preached in the first round for the past two years.
Scouting Report:
The only other draft-worthy player on the Washington Huskies, Foster is a dream come true for Jim Schwartz and the Detroit Lions defense.
Foster has the instincts of a defense's primary playcaller and the sheer athleticism of a top-flight outside linebacker. He is able to meet defenders at the point-of-attack and either evade or shed their blocks. In coverage, Foster may be the best zone defender in the draft. Most importantly, Foster is also able to rush the passer with ease and fill gaps against the run.
Why He Fits The Lions:
Everything read above is exactly what the Detroit Lions are looking for in a WLB.
Foster is a tacklehound who will track down plays near the line of scrimmage and never get fooled like the oft-out-of-position Ernie Sims.
To replace Julian Peterson, the Lions are looking for more of a pass rushing/gap plugging specialist (Martez Wilson would be a coup.) However the Lions have two linebackers—Bobby Carpenter and Ashlee Palmer—that were fringe replacement-level players in 2010. Foster can replace Palmer or start in the middle and allow Levy to play on the outside.
Either way, the Lions get a top-quality player to man the front seven in 2011.
Scouting Report:
Edmond Gates eats up corner cushion like a fat kid at Old Country Buffet.
With a 4.3 40-time, Gates epitomizes the concept of a quick-footed slot receiver. Long armed and taller-than-average, Gates finds himself sitting on the precipice of elite slot and receiver and fringe X/Z flanker. Most importantly, the small school standout has hands of gold—catching everything thrown his way.
A willing blocker, Gates has the ability to contribute in the run game.
Why He Fits The Lions:
The above could be written almost word-for-word about Nate Burleson (minus the elite speed of course). In fact, Gates could replace Burleson as the starting flanker opposite Calvin Johnson, moving the more savvy Burleson to the slot position.
Either way, Gates would be on the field a lot for the Lions and push the seam more consistently than any receiver on the Lions roster.
Scouting Report:
Another Division II standout, Fusco is a four-year starter and a premier blocker regardless of his small school status.
At Slippery Rock, Fusco dominated. Projecting to the NFL, Fusco could be an adequate run blocker right away in the NFL if not an elite road-grader. In pass protection, Fusco could struggle right away but should take to coaching sooner rather than later in the pros.
Why He Fits The Lions:
At 6'4", 306lbs., Fusco is already bigger and stronger than the Lions current starting center, Dominic Raiola. From Raiola, Fusco could learn all he need about leading a team and beating defensive lineman with technique.
In the interim, Fusco could back up multiple positions and could even fill in if Stephen Peterman is still hampered by injuries.
Scouting Report:
Smart as a whip, Bynes should be an almost immediate candidate for the green dot (indicating defensive playcalling) in the pros.
As a run defender, Bynes may be among the best in the draft, especially as a one-gap filler. An instinctive hitter, Bynes is able to separate the ball carrier from the pigskin more often than not. In a word, Bynes is a thumper.
If he has a weakness, it is in the pass game. Bynes will fall in the draft because he has weaknesses in both coverage and as a pass rusher.
Why He Fits The Lions:
Bynes may not immediately start on any defense in the NFL, but he could play solid minutes in his first year and have plenty of opportunity to win a starting spot..
For the Lions, he is able to learn from a couple of the best linebacker coaching minds in the NFL—Schwartz and LB Coach Matt Burke—and contribute as a backup and special teamer right away.
In the best case scenario, Bynes could be a great candidate to play in the middle of the defense and move DeAndre Levy to an outside linebacker position.
Scouting Report:
Evans spent most of his time in Blacksburn backing up Ryan Williams.
This year, Williams is liable to go in the second round while Evans could end up undrafted. However, Evans fills the same niche he did at Virginia Tech—a big back with plenty of speed to burn and just enough wiggle to succeed at the next level.
Why He Fits The Lions:
Although the Detroit Lions want a big back to complete Jahvid Best, they aren't going to take a guy who can't extend plays. The Lions could easily draft a running back much earlier, but Evans would be perfect in the later rounds (or as an undrafted free agent) replacing Aaron Brown and (eventually) Maurice Morris.

Pat Green is no stranger to the Valley. This will not be his first time entertaining Valley residents, or his first time performing at Las Palmas Race Park.
For a man whose new album begins with a powerful song called "Footsteps of Our Fathers," Pat Green has blazed his own trail in a way that few artists today can claim. Even with all the artistic and popular success he has experienced along the way, What I'm For is the stirring sound of Pat Green arriving as a major American singer-songwriter who has managed to make his own way in country music and beyond.
True to the title of this latest, greatest and decidedly lived-in album, Pat Green has accomplished all this by truly knowing what he's for -- and what he's against too. He's done it by daring to follow his own strong gut instincts as an artist, and more than ever before on What I'm For, Green has done it by making music that honestly reflects his own attempt in his mid-thirties to actually grow up and walk like a man -- one very human footstep at a time.
"I really do think of What I'm For as an album by husband and father," Green says
So when it came time to make What I'm For, Green set himself some grown-up goals.
"I wanted to make a perfectly circular record -- one that you could just put on repeat and really live with for a while," he explains. "But I also feel like my ultimate mission here was to beat the Wave On Wave album."
The Wave On Wave album – with its enduring and moving smash title track – was released in 2003 and spread the word of Green's remarkable talent far beyond the Texas borders where he had first established himself as a talent to reckon with back in the late nineties. By then, Green's charismatic live performances were already evoking comparison to the likes of Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Buffet, among others.
"If I listen to Wave on Wave correctly, I'd say that I was very young writing those songs, but they were still good songs," Green says. "Now I feel like I've finally come into my own and I want to write songs by a man, by a father, by a guy that kind of has a handle on the situation. And as far as I'm concerned, What I'm For is the best album I've ever done, and it does beat Wave on Wave, at least for me."
What I'm For is the sound of Pat Green, just the way he is today, walking in footsteps of his own making, with respect for the past but his eyes very much on the future.
Pat Green will perform on Jan. 14. The Bellamy Brothers will also be performing. Gates open at 6:30 p.m. Las Palmas Race Park is located at 7509 N. Taylor Rd. in Mission.
Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at http://www.laspalmasracepark.com/events/, at Cavender's, Melhart Music Center, or by calling 1-877-772-5425. Tickets are $35 at the gate.
For his full bio and samples of music, you can find Pat Green online at http://patgreen.com/.

Kelly Clarkson Shows Off Sparkling Engagement Ring
Brandon Blackstock must really like it, 'cause he put one heck of a ring on it!
Newly-engaged Kelly Clarkson showed off her sparkling new ring on Twitter on Saturday, after announcing Brandon (her beau of one year) had proposed.
"Everyone has been asking about my engagement ring, so here it is :)" the 30-year-old "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" singer Tweeted on Saturday, along with a photo of the stunning bauble on her left hand.
The ring features a large, yellow canary diamond, surrounded by smaller diamonds, and was designed by Kelly's fiance with the help of jeweler Johnathon Arndt.
"They did an amazing job!" Kelly Tweeted. "I can't wait to make Brandon's ring with Johnathon as well!"
As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Kelly and Brandon (talent manager and Reba McEntire's stepson), became engaged on Friday night.
The singer announced the exciting news on Twitter on Saturday, writing, "I'M ENGAGED!!!!! I wanted y'all to know!! Happiest night of my life last night! I am so lucky and am with the greatest man ever :)"

The popular culture is infused with beliefs contrary to the Book of Genesis (and the Bible in general), and it's not just the high-profile debate over origins that regularly plays out in society. Take Seven Pounds, the latest movie by box-office megastar Will Smith, which was number two at the box office when released just before Christmas. Television commercials continue to proclaim that the movie is "the perfect holiday gift." Smith, as co-producer, is also banking on his considerable charm plus the promise of a movie about redemption and selfless giving to lure moviegoers during the holidays.
Yet what audiences end up watching is a film that makes suicide look noble—though the gruesome way the protagonist kills himself could not be described as glorifying suicide. For whatever inspirational and altruistic moments there might be in the movie (which may have prompted the producers to time its release for Christmas), it has some very dark moments, especially at the end. While unwary theatergoers might hear about the film's apparent heartwarming story of the unselfish acts of Smith's character, this is by no means light holiday fare.
Seven Pounds tells the story of a man who decides that life is not worth living anymore. His deep emotional distress comes from both guilt and grief, and as he descends more and more into self-absorption, he kills himself to alleviate his suffering. At the film's beginning, you sympathize with this tormented soul and are moved by his altruistic acts toward many strangers. Even before he kills himself, Will Smith's character donates body parts so that others can live; his suicide provides additional body parts so that others (including one who turns out to be his love interest) can live.
Along with the themes of redemption and giving sacrificially to others, there are other spiritual allusions in the film (some of them from the Bible), but they ultimately do not sanitize what is in reality a dark movie about suicide. The film opens with Smith's character, Ben Thomas (we find out later that Smith's character is actually the brother of the real Ben Thomas), referencing the Bible with the comment, "In seven days, God created the world. In seven seconds, I shattered mine." He then calls a 911 operator about his intent to kill himself. The rest of the film is a flashback to what brought him to the 911 call.
Seven Pounds also has a few allusions to the number seven, the number of completion or perfection in the Bible. But not all the sevens in this film are positive ones. For example, while there are seven recipients of Thomas's generosity of seven body parts (apparently weighing a total of seven pounds, hence the movie's title1), there were seven people, including his own fiancée, who died in a car accident that Thomas carelessly caused. But in his pursuit of redemption, Thomas's actions are far from perfect, with wrongdoings ranging from lying to impersonating a federal agent to the more profound: committing suicide.
The movie has other spiritual allusions, such as scenes shot in a Catholic hospital. But this is not a film with a Christian message. Its redemption story is in the context of the secular sense of the word, for the movie's messages do not portray the biblical teachings of redemption and atonement. After all, at film's end, there occurs a supreme act of selfishness—a figurative shaking of Thomas's fist at the God who created human life and who can bestow grace and healing upon even the most haunted individual—when he takes his own life. Even those who do not hold the biblical worldview could rightly argue that, in a secular sense, Thomas's suicide shows cowardice, when the brave thing would have been to find help in fighting his demons and to discover some purpose in living.
Now, in the Christian worldview, there are occasions when giving up one's life for others can be justified. Consider the nobility of a soldier who "takes a bullet" to save his comrades; but with this example, the soldier knew the risks of military service and the possibility of death in battle. More importantly, the soldier did not enlist with the intention of being killed.
Also, think of the men who willingly gave up seats in the Titanic's lifeboats so that women and children could be saved. As with the first example, no forethought and planning were involved, and there was no selfish act on their part to end any personal suffering or assuage their guilt. The difference between these examples and the suicide in the movie has to do with the intent of the sacrifice.
The character's suicide, which ultimately helped others, might lead theatergoers to draw a parallel to Christ's willingness to sacrifice Himself on the Cross so that others might be saved. Indeed, Christ's death (and His ultimate victorious Resurrection) is the foremost example of laying down a life, but His death was not accomplished to relieve any personal suffering, but rather to selflessly rescue people from their sins and give them spiritual life. The film's main character, on the other hand, is so racked with guilt over his mistakes that his suicide is more a selfish action on his part than it is a selfless act, even though it leads to his body being harvested for parts to help others.
While some might argue that John 15:13 teaches that "greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends" (and thus actions like Thomas's can be justified), it should be noted that Christ gave His life not out of guilt and remorse but out of love (John 3:16).
Will-ful Humanism
Seven Pounds mirrors the secular mindset of the day: that people are accountable to nobody but themselves and that they own their bodies.2 Biblically, however, because we are created in God's image (Genesis 1:26) we are thus special to Him as His unique creation—He owns us. We have no right to take that which is rightly reserved for the Creator Himself.3
There are times when God delegates to humans the right to exercise judgment concerning life and death. For example, God permits the use of the death penalty against a person who takes the life of another, per Genesis 9:6.4 This demonstrates how God values human life and how serious a crime murder is.
Will Smith's character also takes on a role as messiah and judge. Throughout the movie, he acts as a judge of who should live and die. He demands to know if people are "good" enough to deserve his preferential treatment—ostensibly to be granted some leniency from the Internal Revenue Service. His true motivation as he investigates people is to see who is worthy of living. He finds one person not deserving of his blessing, but those who follow are. Will Smith's character has the power to give life, but at the same time, this self-appointed judge lies, harasses and stalks people, breaks the law, beds a woman not his wife, and ultimately kills himself.
Thankfully, there can be forgiveness through Christ for any sinner, including those who unintentionally commit an act which leads to the deaths of others. Christ can save—and the Holy Spirit can indwell—a person like the suicidal Ben Thomas and give him meaning and purpose in life. Just as Thomas asks a person in the film to promise to "live life abundantly," in reality the abundant life—free of guilt—comes through Christ: "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture … I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly" (John 10:9–10).5 The remedy to hopelessness and guilt is not suicide, but hope and faith in the Giver of life:
Our soul waits for the LORD; He is our help and our shield. For our heart shall rejoice in Him, Because we have trusted in His holy name. Let Your mercy, O LORD, be upon us, Just as we hope in You (Psalm 33:20–22).
The Christian will probably leave the theater upset (and not just over the high price of a movie ticket today) about a film that is ultimately about a selfish act of suicide. That wasn't the feeling of a Time magazine critic, who actually found a supposed Christmas message in this dark movie. He wrote: "The message of Seven Pounds . . . is that even the most depressive person can find a way to make other people happy. If that doesn't sound like a movie to buoy your Christmas spirit, ask yourself this: How often do you sit through a film's closing credits so you have a little private time to wipe away the tears?"6
Admittedly, it's not illogical for the secular world, without a biblical foundation for thinking, to react as this critic did and consider suicide to be noble, in the context the film depicts. Without the correct framework of thinking (i.e., God's Word), a non-believer can find it quite logical to view suicide as heroic if it alleviates guilt or depression. Of course, even the Christian who merely hears the Word but does not do what it says to do (James 1:22–24) is sinfully wasting what God owns, too: living apart from Christ, even for someone who does what the world deems "good," is inherently just as selfish as committing suicide.
Furthermore, consider the connection between suicide and evolutionary thinking. For those who accept evolution as a foundation stone in their worldview—in which human life is just an accident in a purposeless universe—what meaning to life is there? Is it any wonder, then, that teen suicide is on the rise as public schools teach that there is no God and that life arose from chance processes?
There is a profound statement that occurs twice in the book of Judges, (Judges 17:6; Judges 21:25): "In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
The more the Bible and its teachings are removed from the culture, and the more we see generations brought up in an education system that teaches young people that the whole of life is the result of natural process, the more we will see generations of people acting like the movie's Ben Thomas—doing what is "right" in their own eyes. The Bible warns us (Proverbs 3:7) to "be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil"; furthermore, "the way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise" (Proverbs 12:15).7
People must understand that there is a King to whom we are accountable, of whom the prophet said: "Doubtless You are our Father" (Isaiah 63:16). Our Father tells us that we are "the precious sons of Zion, valuable as fine gold." (Lamentations 4:2) We are so valuable that He stepped into human history to give up His life on the Cross in the greatest selfless act that could ever occur, so that we can be saved for eternity.
The secular world, however, has "dethroned" the King in their minds, leaving only the purposelessness, meaninglessness, and hopelessness that now pervade the culture (as played out by Will Smith's character). People need to know that the King is still on the throne, and that there is purpose, meaning, and hope beyond what we could ever imagine! That's what the world needs to hear—not the demeaning, and ultimately destructive message of Seven Pounds.
Christians shouldn't waste their time on this film unless they can somehow turn it into a learning opportunity to share with people that the Creator has ownership over life and that He offers life more abundantly, with meaning and purpose.8

- A ministry friend has pointed out to us that the film's title could be a play on words and the phrase "pound of flesh." The words come from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice ("the pound of flesh which I demand of him Is deerely bought, 'tis mine, and I will haue it"), and today refers to something which is owed and required to be paid back at great cost. (See Pound of flesh at the Phrase Finder.) Thus, in the context of the film, "seven pounds" of flesh were paid back. Back
- As one of the film's producers, Smith—in an interview with Film.com—pointed out that he does not necessarily agree with his character's fatalistic views on suicide, and that he has some belief in a God who is in control of life: "As a child growing up . . . my grandmother made sure I knew God is going to make everything okay. So, however scary you get, however bad life is, just know that there's somebody in a high place that's on your side. So, to play a character who doesn't necessarily believe that—to feel like he has to fix it, [that] God made a mistake and it's his responsibility to fix it—is a terrifying space for me emotionally and artistically" (see Will Smith Interview: Seven Pounds). Back
- Regarding the Christian who might consider suicide, 1 Corinthians 6:19–20 teaches: "Do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." Back
- There are other instances in which the taking of a life is permitted by the Bible. For example, self defense to counter an attacker (Exodus 22:2). Also, God directed the Israelites to kill certain people groups for their sins, such as for child murder (e.g., the Hittites of Deuteronomy 20); this was the means of carrying out His judgment. Back
- To address a question that might come up for readers at this point: can a person commit suicide and still go to heaven? Yes. No work on a person's part, if we are truly born again, can keep us out, just as no work can get us to heaven. We are saved by God's grace, not by works (Ephesians 2:8–9) and nothing can separate a believer from God's love (Romans 8:37). Back

60 Plus Association
The 60 Plus Association describes itself [1] as a "non-partisan seniors advocacy group with a free enterprise, less government, less taxes approach to seniors issues" and the "conservative alternative to the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP)." [1]
The group has sought to privatize Social Security, end the federal estate tax, and strengthen gun rights. They oppose aspects of health care reform, federal energy standards, and tax increases.
The president of 60 Plus is Jim Martin [2] who had done advocacy work with groups including the Public Service Research Council also known as Americans Against Union Control of Government. He was also involved with the National Conservative Political Action Committee. [2]
According to some sources [3], 60 Plus acts as a front group for the pharmaceutical industry, and has actively opposed government health care.
PRWatch reports that [4]the Association regularly advocates positions on issues that benefit big corporations and stakes out positions that explicitly favor the pharmaceutical industry. [3]
Stance on Climate Change
- "The global warming threat is the latest science fiction adventure. Senior citizens especially need to be diligent and concerned with the current efforts of politicians and bureaucrats seeking greater regulatory power by scare tactics over so-called global warming. The alarmists are using faulty science to reach untenable conclusions. If we allow the government to enact restrictive measures, whether by law or by a treaty agreed to by the U.S., we will face an energy crisis which will make the energy/oil crisis of the 1970s look like a minor league event." [4]
- "Although global warming alarmists believe carbon dioxide and other man-made greenhouse gases contribute to global warming, they've never documented that case with hard science. In fact, CO2 is a vital component in the air we breathe and a life-necessity for every plant and animal on Planet Earth." [5]
According to the Washington Post, in 2002 60 Plus received an unrestricted educational grant from the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, also known as PhRMA. [6]
Republican strategist and consultant Carl Forti said "I don't believe PhRMA has ever given 60 Plus money," and that the organization "is funded by individual private donors/members; they are not funded by corporations or interest groups." [7]
According to StealthPACs, known funders of the 60 Plus Association include: [8]
- Citizens for Better Medicare [5] — $275,000 in 2001.
- Merck [6]— $275,000 in 2001.
- Pfizer [7]— $275,000 in 2001.
- Pharmaceutical Research & Manufacturers of America (PhRMA) [8]— $275,000 in 2001.
- Wyeth-Ayerst — $275,000 to 60 Plus in 2001.
Key People
According to the 60 Plus website [1], as of May, 2012: [1]
- James L. Martin — Chairman.
- Amy Noone Frederick — President.
- Pat Boone National — Spokesman.
60 Plus spends a significant amount on lobbying. According to SourceWatch [9], it spent $100,000 on lobbying in 2007, $400,000 in 2008, and $100,000 in each of the first two quarters of 2009.
Their in-house lobbyists include Amy Noone Frederick, listed as 60 Plus' Executive Vice President; James L. Martin, President; Hugh C. Newton, Public Relations Contact; and Roger H. Zion, Honorary Chair. They also retain two lobbying firms: Beau Boulter LLC and Greener and Hook, LLC.
May 21 - 23, 2012
60 Plus is listed as a Co-sponsor [10] of the Heartland Institute's Seventh International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC7).
November 4, 2011
Chairman James L. Martin came out ahead of demonstrators [11]at the White House protesting the Keystone XL pipeline.
"60 Plus urges the Obama administration not to appease the environmental activists scheduled to descend on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue this Sunday and avoid delaying further the approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline. We simply cannot afford to leave our future energy and economic prosperity in the balance any longer," said Martin. [9]
November, 2009
Spent over $2 million on an advertisement [3] that described proposed cuts to Medicare being "to pay for a plan that could lead to a government takeover of health care." [10]
May 19, 2005
The 60 Plus Association submitted testimony to The House Energy and Mineral Subcommittee [12] to discuss "Energy Supply, Energy Costs and the American Consumer." [11]
According to 60 Plus, "those who would impede the important work of this Committee and this Nation.. .go under the names of groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council, and the Friends of The Earth with the help of organizations like MoveOn.org. These feel-good activists, both nationally and internationally, have done a simply marvelous job at swaying public opinion and building walls and roadblocks that stymie the vitality of the energy industry. And by and large, they've done it all with smoke and mirrors! Under the guise of something called 'global warming' . . .
This sort of anti-supply bias has to stop for the good of seniors and consumers of all ages. This wonderful country of ours has abundant energy wherewithal, much of it renewable, some of it biodegradable."
February 26, 2003
Roger Zion, Honorary Chairman of the 60 Plus Association testified to the U.S. Senate Energy And Natural Resources Committee [13].
According to Zion, "The US must increase its domestic production of natural gas" and "Congress should also enact legislation to streamline natural gas pipeline construction to enable gas to enter the mid-continent and Northeastern markets, enhance gas supply and distribution capabilities, and relieve system constraints." [12]
According to an article in the AARP Bulletin [14], Members of Bonner & Associates, a Washington-based lobbying firm, paid callers who identified themselves as representatives of 60 Plus to urge residents to ask their governors to veto legislation that would defeat prescription drug legislation at the state level.
Bonner & Associates admitted that they had been paid by Pfizer Inc. to make the calls. [13]

Spurs news and notes: Fantasy league notes, Butler makes his debut, and more
• ESPN.com talks about George Hill, DeJuan Blair and Tiago Splitter for fantasy league owners:
Incidentally, unless you're in a very deep league, about all you have to gain from the Spurs' current miseries is George Hill. Coming off a 30-point performance versus the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday, Hill produced 27 points and six assists against the Blazers. He's available in more than 75 percent of ESPN.com leagues. In leagues of at least 12 teams, Tiago Splitter (14 points, nine rebounds) could merit consideration, but keep in mind that Antonio McDyess (back) is expected to return against the Celtics after essentially being rested on Monday. One Spurs-related thing I do know is that the re-emergence of DeJuan Blair (three points in just 20 minutes) isn't panning out.
• SB Nation isn't sold on the Spurs' success:
If all things were equal, then yes, San Antonio could run with anyone. That's been true the last few years, too. But with Manu, Tony Parker and Tim Duncan all banged up (again), and Gary Neal, George Hill and Dejuan Blair carrying the torch, all things are NOT equal among the best teams in the NBA. It's not a crime to say as much; if anything, we stupidly gave the Spurs the benefit of the doubt earlier this season. And in the end, the Spurs are exactly who we thought they were.
• The NBA on ESPN RV Tour will hit San Antonio Sunday April 3, 2011 from 10AM-3PM.
• RedsArmy.com continues its Spurs watch.
• Express News' Tim Griffin shares his notes from the Spurs loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
Hit the jump to get some Austin Toros news, new Spur Da'Sean Butler to make his debut, and more.

William Bret Baier (born August 4, 1970 in Rumson, New Jersey[1]) is the host of Special Report with Bret Baier on Fox News Channel.[2] He previously worked as the network's Chief White House Correspondent and Pentagon correspondent.
Early life and Education[edit]
Baier attended Marist School, a private Catholic high school in Atlanta, graduating in 1988. Baier then attended DePauw University in Greencastle, Indiana, graduating in 1992. At DePauw, he became a member of the Xi Chapter of the Sigma Chi Fraternity.
Baier began his television career with a local station in Rockford, IL before joining WRAL-TV, the CBS affiliate in Raleigh, North Carolina. He sent an audition tape to Fox News in 1998, and was hired as the network's Atlanta bureau chief. On September 11, 2001, he drove from Georgia to Arlington, Virginia to cover the attack on the Pentagon. He never returned to the Atlanta bureau and was instead tapped as the network's Pentagon correspondent, remaining at the post for five years and taking 11 trips to Afghanistan and 13 trips to Iraq. He became Fox News's White House correspondent in 2007, covering the administration of George W. Bush. In the fall of 2007, he began substituting for Brit Hume, then the anchor of Special Report, on Fridays.[2]
On December 23, 2008, Brit Hume anchored his final show and announced Baier would replace him as anchor of Special Report.[3] He hosted his first show as permanent anchor on January 5, 2009.[2]
A Freedom of Information Act request filed to investigate alleged anti-Fox News bias in the Barack Obama administration revealed an internal email from the White House communications office, dated October 23, 2009, that referred to Baier as a "lunatic."[4] The aide who sent the email later apologized to Baier.[5]
Personal life[edit]
Baier is a Roman Catholic and attends Holy Trinity Catholic Church in Georgetown.[6][7]
Baier and his wife Amy have two sons, Paul, b. June 29, 2007, and Daniel, b. July 10, 2010.[8] Paul was born with heart defects. Before he had open-heart surgery, President George W. Bush invited Baier and his wife and son to the Oval Office for a visit and had the White House physician update him on Paul's progress.[2]
In 2009, Baier was named a "Significant Sig" by the Sigma Chi Fraternity.[9]

The retaliation begins: Google profiles get Schmidt-faced
There's nothing like a good protest, is there?
People get together. They screech and they scream. Then they go back home and everything stays the same.
The latest public movement appears to be in protest of Google's decision to make its services (even) more like Facebook.
In a stunningly predictable decision, Google has decided to use your name and profile to bolster the blinding authenticity of its advertising.
Yes, without paying you. Well, this is the free economy, isn't it?
Oddly, some people seem stunned by this -- despite the fact that the program largely resembles Facebook's Sponsored Stories.… Read more

Hey! We highly recommend you launch this experiment in Google Chrome. It may run slower, or not at all, in other browsers.
Okay, I'll download Google Chrome I'm willing to risk itA musical instrument that uses a bouncing ball gravity model to trigger and manipulate audio samples.
HTML5, Canvas tag, Flash (for audio only)
Fascinating way to study keys. On my Mac unfortunately the key signatures and the notes don't show up. Any thoughts about cause, solution?
Reply to this commentIt Keeps showing Kill Pages and i try pressing F5, Same Problem.
Reply to this commentNice. Some ideas. 1 Lines indicating peak bounce height that also control it, instead of the ball mouse over. 2 A way to hold balls, so they can fall evenly & a randomize button. 3 A way to tie balls together with an elastic band type of mechanic so the movements of one ball could affect another. 4 The notes at the bottom should be larger and able to be swapped with each other, maybe triggered by mouse over or even dragged down to initatie the bounce like a pinball machine. Thanks, I had a lot of fun playing with it!
Reply to this commentVery nice. Some more notes in the key (if not the entire scale) would be better. Something to control the "gravity" of the balls, to make them more controllable, could help too.
Reply to this commentthe idea is cool but it's quite unplayable // musicaly speaking I mean
Reply to this commentthe only issue i'm honestly having with this is the note choices. you have notes which are very specifically outside of the assigned key signature, which alters the sound of the chord being played entirely. in any of the major keys-here i use G Maj for example- the 7th has been flattened, which in this case leads to an F natural, rather than F#--it makes a dominant chord, or G7, which is quite a different tonality. In any of the minor keys-here i use g minor as example-the fifth has been flattened AND the seventh has been double-flattened, to where instead of a normal Gmin7, you have instead a Gdim7, or a fully diminished 7th. This is a very nasty sounding chord, due to not one but two different tritones being present. In this case, it should be G A# D F...also, it is sounding like the octaves of each note is not quite in tune across the board, leading to some wavering of the notes. Perhaps whichever frequencies you have set are not quite correlating with each other? Despite all of that, I'm quite impressed with the idea and general execution of the experiment, I'd love to see if you have a chance to implement some of these suggestions, and I hope you do not take my comment here as a great criticism.
Reply to this commentHi Patches. Thanks so much for pointing this out. I have just changed the notes so that the true 7th is used in the major chords. I also corrected the 5ths and 7ths in the minor chords, so it should be more useful now. Thanks again! --Dave
Reply to this commentWhat is this pose to be. Can you bring me up to date.
Reply to this commentInteresting idea, however it should be a bit easier to place the balls. The sound is just ear rape.
Reply to this commentThis would be so much cooler if you had a bit more control (you could set the innitial hight of the balls, and give them a droping delay, paternal bounce might be cool (meaning itd bounce higher on the 3rd bounce then low again, but thats the least important i can think of to help it)
Reply to this commentHey Jesse! I'm looking into implementing your suggestions. Just to clarify, not sure exactly what you meant by "initial height?" (You know you can interact with the dropping balls by moving your mouse over the ball grid on the left side, right?) Also, when you say "dropping delay" do you mean that the balls shouldn't bounce back up to the same height that they fell from (i.e. that they should decay over time?). Thanks again for the input! These are really good suggestions. :) --David
Reply to this commentits kinda hard to manipulate the balls properly for any music, if they move on mouseover, so leftclick would be the preferable way, esp if you were to add a pause feature..At droping delay: a slightly more complicated feature, basically it means that the program wouldnt 'drop' your ball to begin its patern, untill a certain amount of time after the program is 'unpaused', maybe this time could be represented by a line that you place above the ball, this line will 'fall' untill its gone (hits the ball), then the ball starts to fall PS sorry about th e order of comments XD
Lastly:editing gravity, so you can have longer waits between notes, right now for me, i can only have up to a 2 second delay between any note repeat (assuming i drop from max hight) and save-ability, as people would now have the full power to compose a symphony..
paternal bounce, the ability to maybe right click, to add another ball to the same note so you could do 2 A's in 1 second, then a 2 second wait, then 2 more A's
Im getting: comment must be under 2,000 chars, error, but my comments under 500 Oo
well, you would basically 'pause' the gravity to set all the balls exactly where you want them (when paused they automatically move to their current max bounce hhight,before you start moving them), and when unpaused they fall from their new bounce hight
very cool experiment. reminds me of an autoharp, which has pretty much the same way of changing the key as this, but with strumming instead of bouncing balls
Reply to this commentNice one, I love all the new ways people are finding to manipulate audio with faster browsers.
Reply to this commentVery cool. I gave it four stars. I would give it five but you can't reposition the balls on the left side.
Reply to this commentThanks! Yeah, that's what I'm working on next. --David
Reply to this commentDone! Your wish is my command. (To interact with the dropping balls just hover your mouse over the ball grid on the left side.)
it's kind of like being a neighbor who can hear the many strokes being practiced at a music school :)
Reply to this commentThe chords labeled minor are diminished.
Reply to this commentIt's true, but the 7ths are muted. You can unmute them by clicking on the greyed-out notes below the balls. --David
Reply to this commentWhy would you label them as minor if they're actually diminished? I'd rather they say they're minor and then actually BE minor. Diminished chords aren't the most useful things for making music with a program such as this.
just reload it, it didnt work at first, but it worked after a few minutes
