ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - New York Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver has called for at least a two-year delay in the use of Common Core-aligned tests for high-stakes decisions about teachers, principals or students.
Silver and Assemblywoman Cathy Nolan, who chairs the education committee, issued a statement Tuesday citing "serious issues" with the rollout of the more difficult learning standards across New York's nearly 700 school districts. Scores dropped when grade 3-through-8 assessments were based on the standards for the first time last spring.
Critics say the rollout was rushed and that many students hadn't learned material on the tests.
Silver and Nolan also said the state should delay plans to store student data with inBloom or another third-party vendor until concerns about privacy and security are answered.
The state Education Department didn't immediately comment.

I'm reading the ruddy lovely Kay Berrisford's new book right now and I'm thoroughly enjoying it, so I'm delighted to have her here to talk about it. There's a giveaway link here, too, so don't miss out! Over to Kay:
My latest m/m romance book, The Merman and the Barbarian Pirate, is a fun adventure romp set on the coastline of Regency England. Unlike with my Greenwood series, I didn't draw on a great deal of establish folklore in creating my merman's world. On the contrary, I discovered good stories about mermen are hard to find in English mythology.

ORLANDO -- If there was a snapshot to take home from Saturday night's Class 4A state championship game, it happened moments after the clock hit triple-zero.
Locked arm-in-arm with his eldest son Tim Jr. on his left and his youngest son Treon on his right, Booker T. Washington coach Tim "Ice" Harris was asked what he was feeling after his team's 35-7 triumph over Jacksonville Bolles.
The first thought that came to mind? Family.
"This is an awesome feeling, especially for me as a father," Harris Sr. said. "To be able to experience this situation with your kids is special."
In the Harris family no dream seems unattainable. Ice, a proud father and longtime high school coach from Overtown, was USA Today's National Coach of the Year in 2007. Tim Jr., a former quarterback himself, became an All-American long-distance runner at the University of Miami. And Brandon, an All-American cornerback at UM, is now with the Houston Texans.
Saturday night, five years after dad and big brother coached Brandon to a state title, the Harris' won another, fitting baby brother Treon for a championship ring of his own. And Treon did a lot of the work.
He ran for 72 yards and three touchdowns and threw for 245 yards and two more scores, providing further evidence to BCS-caliber schools why they need to think of him as a quarterback and not just a gifted athlete.
"I always tell him every big game is an opportunity to show your skills as a quarterback, and tonight I think he did a pretty good job," said Tim Jr., Booker T.'s offensive coordinator.
"He came out pressing a little bit in the passing game, but in the second half, he hit some passes and then we let his legs do the rest for us. I think most schools will start to be attracted to him now. When you win championships you're going to attract more people and that's what we tell him all the time."
Treon (5-11, 185 pounds) finished 11 of 19 passing and displayed his ability to not only hit the underneath stuff, but the deep pass, too. He put Booker T. up 7-0 when he hit Deltron Hopkins in stride at midfield, and Hopkins took it the rest of the way on an 87-yard strike.
The Tornadoes sputtered on their next two drives despite starting on the Bulldogs' 32- and 34-yard lines. But after failing to complete on fourth-down passes twice, Harris engineered an 11-play, 63-yard drive littered with penalties by completing 4 of 5 attempts for 54 yards and rushing for 47 yards, including a 12-yard touchdown.
In the third quarter, the Tornadoes looked more like the Booker T. that averaged 50 points coming into the title game. First Harris hit Karim Bryant on a 30-yard touchdown pass then connected with Lamar Parker on a thrilling scramble that led to a 44-yard completion down the sideline. That setup Harris' 3-yard run that made it 28-7 and capped a 14-point outburst in one minute, four seconds.
"He'll thrive in a spread-option offense," Tim Jr. said. "A lot of schools look at him as an athlete because of his height, but he wants to be a quarterback, and I think he will be. Our offense will expand more and more next year. We have a lot of guys coming back on that side of the ball."
Treon, who has offers from USF, UCF, Illinois and Ole Miss as a quarterback, plans to run track in the spring to get faster. He was timed at 4.5 seconds in the 40.
"I have a whole another year to get better at quarterback," said the youngest Harris, who finished his junior season 151 of 241 passing for 2,706 yards, 35 touchdowns , 6 interceptions while running for 819 yards and 16 touchdowns.
"Tonight I played good, made some incomplete passes. But at the end, I got the scoreboard the way I wanted it. We won a championship."

Ontario (Canada)
3.66/5 rDev -4.9%
On-tap at Bar Hop.
Beer is a cloudy golden-orange colour, with a medium-sized white head that looks solid. Good retention and lacing.
A lot of spices jump out in the nose. Coriander, ginger and clove. Not a strong smell and hard to penetrate through the wall of spices.
Like the nose, the flavour is heavily spiced. Clove, ginger, coriander. Orange and some bubblegum. Comes across as a very spied wit more than a saison. A slightly dry finish.
Medium bodied, strongly carbonated. Chewy.
Overall, the spicing is too heavy for me, but otherwise pretty good.

On tap at The Only Café. Hazy yellow body and lacy. The yeast gives it a hefe spice banana character, Its fairly drinkable, its fine as a beer, but I have had some really good saison lately. Would like something more spicy or farmhouse, more interesting in the saison/farmhouse way.

What to Do When Vampire Bunnies Attack
Each day we will select two or three experiments from the following list, depending on weather and ability of the students. We reserve the right to change the subjects as necessary to meet the needs of the children. The age group for all programs is 5 - 11. Most days, there are three lessons, and all students are together for the opening part of the lesson. Then we randomly split them into two groups for the story and the hands-on experiment.
* Echoes: Vampire bunnies do not like loud noises… discover how to amplify very small sounds into incredibly loud sounds without using any electricity and then make them echo.
* Glove Bagpipes: And vampire bunnies change into something else when confronted by a moose playing bagpipes.
* Marshmallow Cannons: Never look directly into the eyes of a vampire bunny or you will become hypnotized. Ddiscover a way to shoot marshmallows around corners!
* Catapults: Vampire bunnies love to chase evil Mister Fred's minions. So all you have to do is make his minions go far away.
* Foam Cutters: Vampire bunnies can fly, but they have poor eyesight. Can you find a way to stop them?
* Shrinky Dinks: Strangely enough, vampire bunnies like to eat miniature stained glass windows. Discover how to make a bunch of them fast!
* Bouncing Goo: If you can set a trap with something sticky and gooey, perhaps you can capture a live vampire bunny.
* Magnetic Creatures: How can you collect a whole flock of vampire bunnies with airplanes and magnets?
* Screaming Metal: Hear the screams of agony as you force pieces of metal against dry ice… can this be used to freeze the brains of the vampire bunnies?
* Water Defying Gravity: If you give the vampire bunnies lots of salty food, maybe you can lure them into a trap with a cup of cold water as the bait. Make water go uphill, stay in a jar that is upside down over your head, and squirt out of a fountain all by itself.
* Mountain Rescue: Use rock-climbing equipment to lift each other off of the ground so that you can get up into the vampire-bunny-eating trees.
* Boomerangs: Experiment with ways to make all sorts of shapes fly back to you and perhaps even smack a vampire bunny on the back of the head.
* Sunken Ships: Since vampire bunnies love cheeseburgers, try to find a cheap way to float one billion cheeseburgers out to their island.
* Static Levitation: Use invisible forces to make ghostly shapes float through the air and scare off the vampire bunnies.
* Water-Powered Rocket Car: This is literally a drag-racer. Try to find a way to make your rocket car go the furthest while carrying a cheeseburger.

Brushing your child's teeth should begin when the teeth first begin to come in, or as directed by your child's doctor or pediatric dentist. Children will need help brushing their teeth until they are around the age of 7 to 8. Even before your child actually has teeth, it is important to perform mouth care. Using a damp washcloth or piece of gauze, gently rub it over your infant's gums to help clean the mouth. A soft toothbrush, wet with water, may be used after your infant has developed some teeth. Experts advise consulting your child's dentist regarding the appropriate time for your toddler to begin using toothpaste. Use only a very small amount of toothpaste, because young children will often swallow it, instead of spitting it out.
The single best way to remove harmful plaque -- a thin, sticky film loaded with bacteria -- from teeth and gums is to brush teeth regularly and properly.
Because every mouth is different, there is more than one technique of brushing that has proven to be effective. Deciding which technique is most appropriate for your child depends largely on your child's teeth positions and gum condition. Consult your child's pediatric dentist to determine which brushing technique is most appropriate for your child's mouth.
Generally, most dentists recommend a circular technique for brushing. This includes brushing only a small group of teeth at a time -- gradually covering the entire mouth. The importance of maintaining a circular or elliptical motion is emphasized, as using a back and forth motion may cause the following:
Receding gums
Exposed and sensitive root surface
Wearing down of the root surfaces at the gum line
Instead, dentists recommend the following method:
Step 1: Place the toothbrush beside the teeth at a 45-degree angle.
Step 2: Gently brush only a small group of teeth at a time (in a circular or elliptical motion) until the entire mouth is covered.
Step 3: Brush the outside of the teeth, inside of the teeth, and the chewing surfaces.
Step 4: Gently brush the tongue to remove bacteria and freshen breath.
Step 5: Repeat steps one through four at least twice daily, especially after meals and snacks.
A toothbrush head should be small -- about 1 inch by 1/2 inch -- and should have a handle suitable for firm grasping. The bristles of the brush should be soft, nylon, and rounded at the ends. This helps ensure that the brush bristles are kind to the gums and tooth surfaces. Soft, polished bristles allow you to reach into the crevice (sulcus) between the teeth and gums to remove plaque without damaging the gums. Some brushes are too abrasive and can wear down the enamel on teeth. Thus, in most cases, medium and hard bristles are not recommended. Only gentle pressure is needed when brushing to remove the plaque. Excessive pressure can cause the gums to recede and can abrade the tooth surface.
Generally, brushing is recommended twice a day for at least three to four minutes each time. People generally think they are brushing long enough, when, in fact, most people spend less than one minute brushing. In addition, it is generally better to brush three to four minutes twice a day instead of brushing quickly five or more times throughout the day.
Dentists advise brushing teeth during the day while at school or play. Keeping a toothbrush handy -- in a desk or backpack -- increases the chance that your child will brush during the day.
Also called dentifrice, toothpaste is comprised of the following cleaning ingredients (stated in approximate percentages):
Humectant and water (75 percent)
Abrasive (20 percent)
Foaming and flavoring agents (2 percent)
pH buffers (2 percent)
Coloring agents, binders, and opacifiers (1.5 percent)
Fluoride (.24 percent)
Brushing with toothpaste (particularly toothpaste with fluoride) helps to:
Remove plaque
Resist decay
Promote remineralization (strengthening enamel that has been attacked by acids)
Clean and polish teeth
Remove teeth stains
Freshen breath
Note: It is advised to consult your child's dentist regarding the appropriate time for your toddler to begin using toothpaste.
Fluoride is the most crucial ingredient in toothpaste. As long as the toothpaste contains fluoride, the brand or type (paste, gel, or powder) generally does not matter. All fluoride toothpastes work effectively to fight plaque and cavities, and to clean and polish tooth enamel. The brand you choose should bear the American Dental Association (ADA) seal of approval on the container, which means that adequate evidence of safety and efficacy have been demonstrated in controlled, clinical trials.
Some toothpastes offer tartar control pyrophosphates to prevent the build-up of soft calculus deposits on teeth, while others offer whitening formulas to safely remove stains, making teeth brighter and shinier. But, contrary to clever advertising and popular belief, fluoride is the true active ingredient that works the hardest to protect your child's teeth.

The UFC Flyweight title is on the line tonight as Demetrious Johnson defends his belt against Joseph Benavidez in the main event of UFC on Fox 9. Bloody Elbow will have live results for the entire event which begins today with a pair of prelim fights on Facebook (aprox 4 p.m. ET) and then a three hour FX prelim broadcast (5 p.m. ET) before the main card kicks off on Fox (8 p.m. ET).
This post will cover the action for the four fights on Fox.
The co-main event will feature a Bantamweight tilt between two former contenders in Urijah Faber and Michael McDonald.
The event will hold two other bouts with a Featherweight bout with Chad Mendes and Nik Lentz representing the Featherweight division and Joe Lauzon and Mac Danzig fighting at Lightweight.
Make sure to come back and share your thoughts in the comments as the action goes down.
Round 1 - Lauzon got a quick takedown. After about 20 seconds he moved to mount. He landed a big elbow and tried for an armbar. Danzig escaped but almost ended up in another armbar. He escaped that too and set up in top position. Lauzon went for yet another armbar, then a triangle, then an omoplata. Nothing works and they get back up. A couple of nice elbows from Danzig. They spent a while in the clinch before Lauzon got another takedown. 10-9 Lauzon.
Round 2 - The first half of the round was contested on the feet and in the clinch, with neither man getting much of an advantage. Danzig tried to hit a trip but ended up on his back with Lauzon on top of him. A Lauzon elbow opened up a cut on Danzig's head and he had a lot of blood in his eyes. Lauzon landed some more shots and moved to side, then mount with 10 seconds to go. He immediately went for an armbar but Danzig defended. 10-9 Lauzon
Round 3 - Danzig connected with a couple of combos and a leg kick. Danzig and Lauzon collided heads, which briefly stopped the action. Danzig kept up the pressure, landing to the body and head. Lauzon scored with his own punch and got a takedown. He moved to side and looked for a crucifix. Huge elbows from Lauzon, and he moved to mount. More elbows. He looked for an armbar again, but Danzig defended and worked from the top. Lauzon quickly reclaimed top position though. He got back out to side and landed one more big elbow. 10-9 and 30-27 Lauzon.
Joe Lauzon defeats Mac Danzig by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Round 1 - Mendes landed a leg kick. Mendes hurt Lentz with a huge punch. Lentz came back with a left hook and a leg kick. Another big combo from Mendez had blood coming out of Lentz's mouth. Mendes got a takedown. Lentz got back up after to about 30 seconds. Another combo from Mendes, and he stuffed a shot. Lentz pressed forward but got taken down for his efforts. Mendes did the same as before - held him down for 30 seconds, then got up. And they went right back down. 10-9 Mendes.
Round 2 - Leg kick from Mendes. And another. Lentz was missing with punches. Mendes landed with a right hook, but there wasn't much action at all over the first half of the round.

This seasonal offering has a deep orange, carrot-like color and produces a massive beige head when poured into a glass. Its color is lustrous and uniform and not quite transparent. The nose is somewhat fruitier than I might expect for the style, and as this beer warms, it loses some of its nuance, giving way to a boozier aroma. I also detected a hint of white pepper and maybe cumin.
A medium-bodied "pre-Prohibition lager" according to the label, 5 Mile Corn Bock is pleasant to drink but perhaps not as successful as the Pumpernickel Rye Porter. A malty sweetness soon gives way to the flavor of toasted corn, which mingles with herbal, earthy hops in the finish. Drinkable and different I tasted arugula and roasted red pepper that can seem slightly harsh on the palate. Overall a solid product that just misses exceptional.

Light fizzy head fades fairly quickly after hitting 1 finger, pretty much no lacing, fairly hazy orange color slight reddish hue.
Nose bright amber malts, biscuit and toffee wheat like bock, light fruity lager like yeast, aromatic malt, light yeasty, light caramel with the toffee, and some light grassy hops with all that.
Taste creamy but a bit flat tasting, corn comes though with a creamy corny oily like trade, plenty of wheat bock and toffee caramel malt and light reddish toasty amber malt, light fruity lager and a bit yeasty. Some grassy hops too, light bitterness, oily but I think from the corn. Finish is sticky sweet and syrupy, light lingering toffee and caramel and grassy hops.
Mouth is med to lighter bodied, creamy and oily feeling, decent carb.
Overall kinda interesting, starts decent but doesn't really continue, gets meh.

Ipswich Brewery Local 5 Series Corn Bock pours a brilliant clear, bronze color with a moderate, creamy head on top. The foam dissolves quickly, leaving behind a fair amount of lace.
The aroma isn't very strong. It has notes of light fruit (pear or white grape?), pale malt and a touch of pepper.
Each sip of this medium bodied beer is soft on the palate with an effervescent fizz. The flavor begins with pale malt/white bread, followed by light corn notes. It finishes mildly spicy and slightly bitter. Once gone the corn and spice linger on the palate.
This is an easy drinking beer that almost reminds me of a British Bitter than a Bock. It's nice to see a local brewery sourcing ingredients close to home.

I really dug this one. Poured a 3" opaque tan head with a good long lifespan, even leven merengue floaters to the end. The body is clear and cross between golden and sun tea. It smells very nicely of malt and hops and even a hint of fruit. The first sip strikes immediately with a very cream mouthfeel and the tastes double up on malts followed by sour mash and finally melon rind. Long warm sour finish. Quite a fun beer.

I drank this from an English pub glass...
It is a pale yellow color with a thick filmy white head that left plenty of lacing. The smell has a lot of tropical hops, mango, guava with orange and grapefruit and just a hint of caramel malt. Bitter up front with lemon and pineapple, some hints of pine and citrus peel with a bitter finish. The beer is medium bodied with lots of soft carbonation and a wonderfully dry finish. This a beautifully crafted beer, I would drink this any time.

Poured into my Isle of Arran imperial pint glass a clear light golden with a fluffy two finger craterous white head that clung like glue to the glass never completely subsides.English malt and floral hop aromas,biscuity with a tinge of iron.Not nearly as brash as the label might tell you but its a decent English IPA,its floral and leafy in its hoppiness,full on biscuit/caramel malt pretty much keeps this beer even in its hop to malt ratio on the palate.Its a nice beer not a big American IPA in style more of a slightly more brash English IPA.

A: Golden yellow, rather pale for the style. Big slightly off-white head with good retention. Some lacings.
S: Slightly perfumy hop character with a decent amount of grapefruit. Pine-needles. Toasty malt aromas.
T: Basically grapefruit, some faint notes of lemon, pine-needles and quite pleasant hop flavors. Somewhat perfumy. The malts are restrained, yet quite sweet and has a rather toasty character. The finish is actually quite bitter and since there is not much going on that balance it, it gets slightly to dominating. Faint note of alcohol. All in all, it's rather refreshing and good.
M: Medium body, quite boring mouthfeel. But for some reason, it fits the beer.
D: I like this one. Certainly not the most hoppy IPA, but it's very drinkable and refreshing.

Review from BeerAdvocate magazine Issue #26:
Huh? Punk IPA is the name, and you want to brew like a post-modern IPA?
Mildly hazed golden color; tight, tiny bubble lace. Quite fragrant with orange rind and faint butter, with a semisweet biscuity malt. The hop bitterness pushes the palate around for the duration, but never knocks the taste buds down completely. The hops are rough around the edges, but never harsh, with orange and evergreen flavors. Malt chimes in with a dense breadiness and toasted biscuit flavor, yet never really rises above the hops. Alcohol is there, lightly warming with an offshoot of buttery flavor. Orange rind hop in the finish with more of that toasted biscuit flavor, which all lands semisweet.
Nice to see a change thrown at the beer industry, giving the bird to modern brewing on their home turf, yet fitting very well within the US craft beer revolution. Sure, it's not your kick-in-the-teeth West Coast IPA, but it is a damn good rendition of IPAs in the US collectively. With each sip, it grew on us.

In a pint glass, the color of the beer is a little off-putting. It's a hazy yellow color that looks mor like a hefe. The small white head produces some lacing. Aroma is mostly sweet malt, with a bit of flowers and citrus. I love the taste: sweet malt with grapefruit and pine. A well-balanced beer, very enjoyable.

22.4 oz bottle cost $13 in Evansville, Indiana. Pours a hazy, pale yellow body with an ample vanilla head that leaves lots of sticky lace on the glass. Aroma is mostly all hops. Earthy and floral notes mingle with a hint of grainy pale malt. Crisp carbonation enlivens the medium body. Taste is quite bitter. Hops dominate with an earthy and floral iron hand. Some bittersweet lemonrind is the only hint of fruitiness. Finish is earthy and grassy hop bitterness which carries into the aftertaste. A decent IPA but overpriced for what it is.

3.85/5 rDev +1.3%
Mid sized bottle, $7.49 at the Harlem, NY Fairway market. Pours lighter amber, golden hued and cloudy. Eggshell head of about 3/4 inches, stays, leaves respectable sheeting and whispy webs of lace. Light resiny hop nose. On the thinner side on the tongue. Resiny hop theme continues, quite drying and bitter through the finish. Respectable, if slightly underwhelming AIPA. Differant to see a hoppy brew from chilly scotland. Worth a try.

Pours yellow with a small white head. Aroma is grassy, earthy hops. I didn't get any of the citrus or pine that other people have mentioned. The flavor is mainly hoppy, with lots of earthy hops. Quite a bit of bitterness and not much of a malt backbone. Thin mouthfeel. Decent beer, but nothing special.

3.35/5 rDev -11.8%
The LCBO got a bunch of individual bottles of this, so I picked up a couple to try. First time having anything from BrewDog, so we'll see how it goes.
Poured a surprisingly light golden hue, slightly opaque. Almost like a pilsner or Belgian blond. A very thin layer of head, not much to speak of. Lacing is evident, patchy.
Light hop to the nose, with a bit of honey, spice and bread in there as well. Not overpowering.
A solid IPA taste, certainly smooth and drinkable. Citrus and spices, with a touch of bitterness to the finish. Not bad at all.
A bit undercarbonated, but other than that it feels on the mark.
Does what it sets out to do, but nothing really to write home about. With so many IPAs available around here, perhaps I'm expecting too much. Still, I'd drink it again.

Pours hazy gold with a frothy white head. Spicy hop aroma, some soap, and a faitr amount of grass and pine. Bittersweet taste. Peppery hops and light resin, with definite grapefruit, kiwi, and passionfruit flavors. The malt gives it a underlyign sweetness that enhances the taste instead of runningit over. Different, but very good

Reviewed from notes. Consumed 1/31/09
Poured from a 22oz bomber into an oversized wine glass. Best by date on the bottle reads 7/7/09. Firm pour fails to conjure anymore then a scant ring of foam around the inner ring of the glass. No lace. Color is cloudy pale yellow.
Nose- Sour candied lemon zest.
Palate- Shockingly light carbonation. Wondering is the beer is bad. Medium bodied, some hues of caramel. Slight hop body, mild lemon zest. Moderately bitter in the finish. Nothing special. In fact disappointed that I paid $7.
Mouthfeel- Tart, massively under carbonated.
Drinkability- Low

A teenage Devizes motorist faces trial over a charge of dangerous driving in Pewsham Way, Chippenham.
Piotr Jablonski pleaded not guilty to the allegation when he appeared at Swindon Crown Court on Friday.
Jablonski, 19, of Moyne Close, Devizes, said to have been behind the wheel of a blue Ford Fiesta when it was involved in a collision on August 23 last year.
He was released on bail until Wednesday, June 25, when he is to face trial on the charge.

The family of a teen who died while in the custody of Durham police have set up a memorial fund to help with expenses related to the death.
The family of Jesus Huerta started the fund with Wells Fargo called the "Jesus Huerta Memorial Fund."
Contact your local Wells Fargo to donate.
Huerta, a student at Riverside High School, was in the custody of Officer Samuel Duncan when he died Tuesday.
Lopez said Duncan was transporting Huerta to police headquarters to pick up a warrant charging the teen with second-degree trespassing. When Duncan arrived at police headquarters, he heard a loud noise in the car and Duncan jumped from the vehicle.
The patrol car then rolled and crashed into a van in the parking lot. Lopez said that it did not appear that any officer fired a weapon during the incident.
The cause of death has not been released.

Makeup Bag Makeover
Makeup maven Bobbi Brown offers 10 steps to simplify and organize your makeup.
« Previous | 1 of 3 | Next »
Get Started
Notice that your makeup bag keeps getting bigger and bigger? Perhaps as you add new items, you haven't taken the time to purge the old stuff. Consider the following tips for paring down -- and ensuring you have the essentials for a lovely everyday face.
- Survey your gear. Dump all the contents of your makeup drawer or bag on the floor and take a good look at what you have.
- Check "freshness." Toss out any makeup that's gone bad. If it smells funny, has changed color, or has separated, its time is up.
- Transfer broken makeup to new containers. Liquid foundation can be poured into a different bottle; lipsticks with cracked caps can be sliced off and put into a palette container or a pillbox with day-of-the-week compartments; lip and eye pencils missing their caps can be stored in a Ziploc bag.
- Purge if necessary. Get rid of anything that you haven't used in two years. If you still can't figure out how to wear the super-trendy color you got last season, you'll probably never wear it. And don't bother keeping anything that makes you break out or doesn't feel right on your skin.

Following a debate that extended in to the mid-afternoon hours Thursday--San Antonio's City Council has approved some much-talked about expansions to the City's Non-Discrimination Ordinance.
The Council voted 8 to 3 in favor of clearly spelled out protections for the LGBT community--shortly after Eastside Councilwoman Ivy Taylor told her colleagues she simply could not vote in favor of the proposal out of concern over how it might dictate the actions of people--against the teachings of their faith.
Conservatives and some religious leaders across the city--as well as around the state and country--had voiced strong objections--fearing the measure might infringe on free speech rights--and force people to endorse a lifestyle that may run contrary to their beliefs. Supporters insisted there are protections against that in the ordinance.
An effort to table the measure put forward by Councilwoman Elisa Chan failed just moments before Council gave it's final approval. A numbewr of critics predict the debate will not end with the vote--but rather-- string of lawsuits and legal actions will be getting underay challenging the ordinance.

with an e90, i could setup mail so i could retrieve mail from my mailbox, and at that moment, it would ask me my password, whithout storing it in the phone; later i replaced it with an e7. there is a mail setup, and a message that says that my information could be sent to nokia.. why nokia dos it need my login data, for a mail account that does have nothing to do with nokia, and that does not use nokia servers at all?.. so anyway, lets try to setup a mail box: it asks me the mail address, so ok, here is the mail address.. then the password.. so no way to store all data but the password and ask the password only when i want to retrieve my mail?.. hmm.. ahh, but the e90 could synchronize mail data with outlook, so if i connect to the pc, it would retrieve the mail setup via ovi suite right?.. hmm.. nope, just the contacts, but no mailbox setup.. so it seems the only way would be to enter the data ny hand, but it will ask me for my password (with no option to ask it only when i want to retrieve mail, it seems) and it tells me that it will send to nokia some stuff that does have nothing to do with nokia, and that nokia should not care about...
05-02-2012 10:23
don't know if i understood you right, but let's see:
1. only MFE syncs email, contacts and calendar. if you use MFE, syncing with desktop like outlook will cause problems like duplication.
2. you need to give your data to nokia only if you use their push email service. if you decline T&C, you can set up a normal IMAP account. but alas, hotmail does not have IMAP.
3. you can however use outlook-device sync and sync only notes, or any other application you want to sync.

MfE = Mail for Exchange. You can google this and find the setups. For instance http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread
but as metal_might says:
1. only MFE syncs email, contacts and calendar....
2. you need to give your data to nokia only if you use their push email service. if you decline T&C,
however on this point: "you can set up a normal IMAP account. but alas, hotmail does not have IMAP." I think it does. I got it working on my E62 at some point recently
but no matter, the connection will just drop off because of Nokias stupid decision to mung their IMAP and get you to hand over your credentials to them and use their service to dish out your service for you.
I'm still looking for a reasonable explanation for that decision (please note the word reasonable in there)

Homefix: Upgrading windows a requirement
Scripps Howard News Service
By DWIGHT BARNETT
Scripps Howard News Service
Q: My home was built in 1989 with upgraded windows. The double-hung aluminum-clad wood windows are now starting to show their age. We want new vinyl high-efficiency double-hung windows. But the village is giving us a hard time with the permit. They say the bedroom windows must meet egress requirements of a 5.7-square-foot opening. If the old windows do not meet that, the new replacement windows must be no smaller than the existing windows. The replacement windows in a couple of the rooms are a little smaller. We have the windows here already. Have you ever heard of a town being that picky? What do other people do?
A: The 1986 CABO One- & Two-Family Dwelling Code, section R-211.2, had a minimum requirement for a bedroom window of 5.7 square feet. Apparently your home did not meet codes when it was built and the village is within its rights to require the upgrade. The heading for this code is "Emergency Egress Openings" and should be taken seriously. Not only is the window designed for egress in case there is a fire or other emergency, it might also serve as a means of rescue by first responders.

Men, monkeys and the origin of AIDS

Tennessee state Sen. Stacey Campfield sparked an uproar with his comments about gay people and the origin of AIDS.
In one claim, Campfield said AIDS was transmitted to humans because "one guy" had sex with "a monkey" and then started "having sex with men." PolitiFact Tennessee put that claim to the Truth-O-Meter.

An animal rights group's release of a video showing a goat's legs being removed with what appear to be tree trimmers has prompted the Coast Guard to defend the use of live animals in combat medical training.
The Coast Guard said it could not verify that the video posted on YouTube by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals on Wednesday involved its personnel, The Associated Press reported. But the AP reported that Lt. Cmdr. Jamie C. Frederick, spokesman for the Atlantic area, wrote in an email that the Coast Guard does use "live tissue training using live animals."
The animals appear to be anesthetized in the video, which was purportedly shot in Virginia Beach, Va. In addition to the use of tree trimmers, instructors stab the animals with scalpels and pull out internal organs -- which a narrator and a PETA blog post say was done to simulate injuries. The blog post said that veterinarians who viewed the video said the animals' movements indicate that the goats may not have been adequately anesthetized. At one point, one of the men in video calls for more anesthesia.
PETA said the video was taken by a whistleblower and showed military instructors contracted by the Coast Guard. The faces of the participants are blurred.
Justin Goodman, PETA's associate director of lab investigations, told msnbc.com the group was able to verify the video's authenticity by checking the credentials of the person who leaked it and by cross-referencing the medical training company involved with government contracts.
Tens of thousands of people have responded to a plea on the group's website urging the Pentagon to stop the use of animals in medical trauma training, Goodman said.
"We're still waiting to get a response from the Coast Guard," Goodman said.
Other branches of the military use similar training on goats and pigs, the AP reported, to prepare medics and front-line troops for treating catastrophic injuries in the field of battle. The AP said the Pentagon declined to respond to a request for comment about the video.
"Animals used in trauma training are supported and monitored by well-trained, experienced veterinary staff to ensure that appropriate anesthesia and analgesia prevent them from experiencing pain or distress," Frederick wrote to the AP.
Graphic warning: Video in PETA blog post
He said the training has also proved invaluable in noncombat situations, such as when Coast Guard members were the first to respond to Haiti's devastating 2010 earthquake, the AP reported.
But some medical professionals say the practice is cruel and unnecessary and have signed a letter, drafted by PETA, to Defense Secretary Leon Panetta seeking an end to the practice, the AP said.
"Learning how to apply a tourniquet on a severed goat's leg does not help prepare medical providers to treat an anatomically different human being wounded on the battlefield," Dr. Michael P. Murphy, an associate professor of surgery at Indiana University School of Medicine and a lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army Reserves who served two tours of duty in Iraq, told the AP.
U.S. Rep. Bob Filner, a California Democrat, has introduced legislation, HR1417, to phase out use of live animals by the military in training. So far, he has 49 cosponsors. But he told the AP that he has faced opposition from the Defense Department.
PETA advocates the use of humanlike simulators for military training, like the one shown in this YouTube video.

Everyone knows the Rev. Doug Taylor. For 15 years, he and his wife, Sonia, have been running the Jesus Party, an outreach program that works with kids from the inner city. Taylor has also been known to ruffle feathers, chopping up copies of the Harry Potter books in Kennedy Park and going after other forms of entertainment he deems destructive.
Not everybody knows that Taylor is a former bad boy, himself, a one-time addict who turned his life around while serving jail time. So when Bro Doug heard that 18-year-old Billie Coburn, a former member of his flock, had confessed to vandalizing a cemetery, Taylor jumped into action.
How did you know Billie Coburn?
I evangelize the inner-city streets thoroughly. I found Billie like I find all the other kids, door to door. Our relationship spans a solid decade. Back in those days, we passed out candy on street corners next to Longley Elementary School. His brother and sister used to come as well. Billie, like many typical teenagers, fell away from the Jesus Party as he grew older. Over the years we stayed friendly and Billie always showed respect for my family and our ministry even when he was pressured by his peers in a group setting.
What did you think of the vandalism at Riverside Cemetery?
When I was a teenager, I did a lot of dumb things. Billie's actions were very disappointing and disturbing. I hope he will take this opportunity to redeem himself. He is on very thin ice and cannot afford to mess up. The community is watching very closely and so am I. Whatever happens in terms of punishment, I pray it does not turn out to be felony charges that could haunt him for the rest of his life (I know personally because this is the case in my life). I would like to see him deal with this now while he is a young man and not have to struggle with this later in life.
How did Billie do when he recently talked to the kids of The Jesus Party about his role in the vandalism?
You could have heard a pin drop in the room. All eyes and ears were open to Billie's story. Billie handled himself like a gentlemen. He held the newspaper story in his hand while he talked. He read his apology to the children. He encouraged children to stay out of trouble, to avoid drugs and alcohol, and stick with the advice that their parents, teachers and the Jesus Party give them. At one point in the evening a very emotional outburst took place. One of my staff members by the name of Jim Degen spoke up and walked up to Billie, nose to nose and told him how awful he thought the crime was. Jim's mother passed away nine years ago and he still is very sensitive about it. Jim told Billie and the Jesus Party kids that every tombstone, flower or flag in a graveyard is placed there by someone who loved them. Jim with a red face, shaky voice and a tear in his eye, told Billie that God loved him and would forgive him. Jim told Billie that if he really meant what he said to the kids, his life would eventually show it. Staff member Jerry Derboghosian, who is 87 years old, extended his hand of reconciliation to Billie and encouraged him to live a crime-free life. He told Billie that he was proud of him because things like this happen all the time and no one ever admits their guilt. Jerry reassured Billie that he could count on the Jesus Party for future support. There were a couple kids in the room who were familiar with him. I guess at one point they were next-door neighbors. Everyone in the room was very surprised by my special guest.
Do you believe some good can come of all this?
Yes. My simple sermon to Billie was "only good things can come from doing good."
Think you'll join dashingly handsome reporter Mark LaFlamme in Halloween celebrations this year?
You are very funny. If I do hook up with you, the last place on Earth that I'll be found with you is in a graveyard.

Tappin had expected to spend retirement on golf course
A keen golfer, 65-year-old Tappin was enjoying his retirement and role as president of the Kent County Golf Union, which represents the county's 95 clubs.
His passion for golf is something he shares with son Neil, who is deputy editor of Golf Monthly magazine.
But a US sting operation that led to Tappin being accused of selling batteries for surface-to-air missiles to Iran shattered the Tappin family's apparently idyllic lives.
After a two-year legal battle, the retired businessman was extradited to Texas to stand trial.
The grandfather is said to have kept himself sane by practising golf, using his walking stick as a club and rolled-up tissues as a ball.
Tappin was given a reprieve from the windowless walls when he was released on bail in April.

News & Events
Social work major Diana DeMont spent a few days in Washington, D.C., participating in the prestigious Posters on the Hill event. She saw the sights, shared her research, and even got to do a little impromptu lobbying, of a sort.
Ms. DeMont met with U.S. Sen. Scott Brown and was able to give him a folder explaining her project, "Overcoming Educational Disadvantage: Shelter Initiatives for Homeless Children," and an article she wrote that will appear in the upcoming Undergraduate Review.
"It was brief, but he did seem generally interested in what I was doing," she said in a phone interview from the capital. "It was cool meeting him."
The West Springfield resident's project addresses the challenges facing children living in the state's homeless shelters, focusing on educational services that are provided, such as tutoring, mentoring and after-school programs.
Widely considered the most prestigious showcase of undergraduate research in the country, Posters on the Hill is highly competitive. Of roughly 850 applicants this year, only 75 students were chosen by the Council for Undergraduate Research to exhibit their work in the Rayburn House Office Building on Capitol Hill.
Participants often get to meet with lawmakers from their home state.
Meeting Sen. Brown was just one highlight of an eventful trip to the nation's capital, Ms. DeMont said.
"So far, it's been awesome and very inspiring. I've really been thrilled to be part of this experience," she said.
Traveling with Ms. DeMont is Dr. Jenny Shanahan, director of Undergraduate Research. (Story by John Winters, G '11, University Advancement, submitted photo)

ATLANTA (Jan. 22, 2009) – Habitat for Humanity International presented seven "Pioneers in Excellence" awards to Habitat affiliates and volunteers who demonstrated productivity, innovation and creativity in the efforts to eliminate substandard housing.
Affiliate of the Year awards
One affiliate in each of three categories was recognized for extraordinary accomplishments in advancing Habitat for Humanity's mission:
- Habitat for Humanity of Charlotte received the Affiliate of the Year award for its service in a community with a population greater than 250,000. The Charlotte affiliate, which commemorated its 25th anniversary in 2008, built 61 local homes and gave $369,453 to build Habitat houses in overseas. Since 1993, HFH Charlotte has committed to contribute the equivalent construction cost of one home in El Salvador for every home that is built in Charlotte. Last year the affiliate completed the "Charlotte Model Community" in Santa Ana, El Salvador.
Through its Critical Home Repair program in Charlotte, the affiliate also sought to serve local, low-income homeowners who need urgent home repairs.
- Our Towns of Lake Norman Habitat for Humanity received the award for affiliates serving communities of 50,000–250,000 people. Our Towns HFH serves four communities in the Davidson, North Carolina area, near Charlotte. The success of a credit counseling program, youth projects and a strong tithe commitment helped make this affiliate a top choice. Our Towns HFH built 15 houses locally and gave $215,146 in 2008 to build homes overseas. They have set a goal to serve 800 families locally and in Guatemala during the next five years.
- Appalachia Habitat for Humanity, which serves Scott and Morgan counties in Tennessee, was voted the Affiliate of the Year award for affiliates serving communities under 50,000 people. The Appalachia affiliate, which built nine local homes and gave $12,000 in 2008 to build homes overseas, seeks to restore pride and stability in the community.
Clarence Jordan awards
Awards were given to two affiliates that demonstrated creativity or innovation in their work:
- Henderson County Habitat for Humanity in western North Carolina was recognized for its "Frugal Design Home Showcase," developed to raise funds and to promote awareness for its two ReStores. The affiliate joined with seven other nonprofit organizations in the community, all of which operate resale stores, to completely furnish and decorate a 3,000-square-foot model home. The home was made available by a local builder. Proceeds from ticket sales to tour the home and from the sale of the furnishings riased $17,000 for the affiliate.
- Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles was recognized for its "Nickels for Nails" campaign, which mobilized youth ages 5–25 to raise funds for a Habitat home. More than 10,000 youth raised almost $116,000 through ongoing efforts and special fund drives.
Volunteer of the Year awards
Two awards were given to individuals who have made a significant contribution to advance the mission of Habitat for Humanity:
- Dyttha Gallagher, nominated by Habitat for Humanity of St. Joseph County (South Bend, Indiana area) was honored for organizing a World Build, which she envisioned would allow immigrants like her to give back to the community by building a Habitat home. Gallagher mobilized a committee that coordinated the build, raised funds and recruited community residents of diverse nationalities, faiths and cultural backgrounds.
- Sue Croom, nominated by Indian River Habitat for Humanity (east coast of Florida) won the volunteer award for her leadership in Habitat's Women Build program. Affiliate leaders say that Croom's efforts have added more than 100 new women volunteers who support the affiliate in a number of ways.
"Habitat for Humanity is able to take significant strides across the United States because generous partners are supporting our work, and hundreds of U.S. affiliates are working so vigorously to reach more families in need of homes," said Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International. "The 'Pioneer in Excellence' awards give us the chance to recognize those extraordinary efforts and to say thank you for the innovation, faith and compassion with which people pursue and fulfill our mission every day."
