Three members of one family were killed and another was injured in a crash that closed the southbound New Jersey Turnpike for hours on Thursday, state police said.
CHECK: Latest Traffic Conditions
The crash occurred at 10:11 a.m. on the southbound side of the turnpike, south of Interchange 5 and County Route 541 in Mount Laurel, Burlington County. That's just south of the Rancocas Creek bridge.
Officials said two trucks and at least two passenger vehicles were involved in the wreck, and one of the tractor-trailers jackknifed.
One 18-year-old woman with minor injuries was taken by medics to Cooper University Hospital.
On Thursday afternoon, state police said the dead and the injured 18-year-old were all believed to be from the same George family. A dog also from the same vehicle was also killed.
SkyFOX over the scene showed three of the vehicles came to rest near each other just off of the turnpike's right shoulder, although debris was scattered over all three lanes. The family's Toyota Camry was between the two tractor-trailers, while a Ford Edge with rear-end damage was farther down the highway.
The occupants of the tractor-trailers and Edge were uninjured, according to police.
After letting some cars leave the turnpike, New Jersey State Police closed the southbound lanes at 11 a.m. just before Exit 7A so they could continue to investigate.
State police had been advising motorists to use Route 195 West to Interstate 295 South as an alternate route.
The turnpike was reopened just before 3:30 p.m.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, state police said.

Yet more haunting images of blindfolded, stripped down Palestinian men being contemptuously dragged by soldiers in uniform from one place to another. Yet more footage of bloodied men lying on hospital beds describing their ordeals to television reporters who have heard this story all too often. Yet more news of Palestinian infighting, tit-for-tat arrests, obscene language and embarrassing behaviour from those who have elected themselves — or were elected — to represent the Palestinian people.
Once again, the important story that ought to matter the most — that of a continually imposing and violent Israeli occupation — is lost in favour of Palestinian-infused distractions, deliberate or not.
The Hamas-Helis clash of early August was immediately probed by news media and Palestinian officials themselves as an extension of ongoing Hamas-Fatah violence, which led in the summer of 2007 to a complete Hamas takeover of the Gaza Strip. The logic was simple: the Helis clan is largely loyal to Fatah, thus Hamas's violent storming of their neighbourhood 2 August was an attack on rival Fatah. Hamas, on the other hand, explained its crackdown on Helis militants as part of its hunt for those responsible for the murder of five of its members and a civilian in a massive blast that rocked
Naturally, Hamas pointed the finger at militants affiliated with Fatah in
The truce with Israel, accompanied by hesitant but constant calls made internationally to "engage" Hamas, positive remarks about dialogue made by PA President Mahmoud Abbas, and recent efforts in Jordan to bring the ostracised movement back to mainstream Arab politics, have all helped lay the groundwork for an inescapable conclusion: that Hamas is not a fleeting phenomena, and that isolation and repression have proved an ingredient of strength to the Islamic movement in Gaza and elsewhere.
Just then, the
Indeed, Hamas's subsequent criminal investigation led it to the Helis compound in
In reality, however, the beach bombing of 25 July was designed to provoke a violent Hamas reaction, which was preceded and followed by mass arrests of Hamas and Fatah members in the
More, the fact that Abbas had met with representatives of the Helis clan in the West Bank, as if they represent a political organisation, was a dangerous validation of clan militancy that has grown in
The bombing of 25 July, the violence of 2 August, and the political repercussions they have generated have proved immensely harmful to Palestinian national interests and spoiled the prospects of political reconciliation, thus national unity, which in my opinion, was the very intent of the violence in the first place.

Love in Bloom: Orlando Bloom Makes Broadway Debut in Romeo and Juliet
By Brandon Voss
Orlando Bloom, known for his screen appearances in "The Pirates of the Caribbean" and "The Lord of the Rings," uses and loses his innocence in Broadway's revival of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet now playing at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
Orlando, Orlando! Wherefore art thou, Orlando? An English heartthrob who rose to fame in the movies—"The Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" film franchises—Orlando Bloom makes his Broadway debut as Romeo in William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy Romeo and Juliet, which opens Sept. 19 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. Directed by five-time Tony nominee David Leveaux, the interracial revival also stars Condola Rashad, a Tony nominee for her work in Stick Fly and The Trip to Bountiful, as Juliet. Finally losing his Shakespeare virginity at 36, Bloom explains why it's never too late to be a star-cross'd lover.
You're a 36-year-old man. What are you doing playing Romeo?
For what it's worth, you don't look 36.
How do you make 1590s Shakespeare engaging for today's audience?
Theirs is a love to die for. Can you relate? And be warned that your wife, actress Miranda Kerr, might kill you if you say no.
To do their love justice, chemistry between the actors playing Romeo and Juliet must be crucial.
With an interracial couple at its center, this production has been conceived with a black household and a white household. Does that racial divide add tension between the feuding families?
How does a contemporary setting benefit the story?
What's unique about your portrayal of Romeo?
You'll no doubt have "Lord of the Rings" and "Pirates of the Caribbean" fans in the audience. Will this Romeo and Juliet please the popcorn-movie crowd? OB: Absolutely. Bringing a historic and acclaimed text to a 2013 audience is key, and I believe everyone can enjoy an evening of love, poetry, and passion. If we do it right, I think there will be a lot of broken hearts around town. People will be turning to their partners, saying, "You don't love me enough!"
(This feature appears in the September 2013 issue of Playbill.)
Romeo and Juliet began previews Aug. 24 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
In addition to Bloom as Romeo and Rashad as Juliet, the cast also features Tony Award nominee Jayne Houdyshell (Follies, Dead Accounts) as the Nurse, Tony Award winner Brent Carver (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Parade) as Friar Laurence, Tony winner Chuck Cooper (The Life; Caroline, or Change) as Lord Capulet, Christian Camargo ("The Hurt Locker," "Twilight," All My Sons) as Mercutio, Justin Guarini (Women on the Verge, "American Idol") as Paris, Roslyn Ruff ( The Piano Lesson, "The Help") as Lady Capulet, Conrad Kemp ("The Girl") as Benvolio, Corey Hawkins as Tybalt and Geoffrey Owens as Prince Escalus.
This production marks the first time in 36 years that the play has been produced for Broadway. This version of the classic tale, according to press notes, "will retain Shakespeare's original language but have a modern setting in which members of the Montague family will be white, and the Capulet family will be black."

Let me first start by saying that I just turned 44 years old. I had pretty much given up finding anything worth listening to in today's version of what passes for Rock 'n' Roll. Todays' bands all sound to me like they have interchangable lead singers. That is until I heard The Donnas on the Freaky Friday soundtrack. "Backstage" blew me away. It is by far, the best track on that CD. I had heard of them before, but I just assumed that they were another pop-grunge-metal ripoff. Boy, was I wrong!I went out and bought "Spend The Night" and I am very excited about this CD. Initially, the tempo of the songs being essentially the same, kind of threw me off. However, the more I listen to the CD, the more I like it. This is the straight ahead Rock that I remember from my youth. I hear pieces of The Ramones, AC/DC, Joan Jett, Heart, etc… on this CD. I went to their website and discovered that they have been playing together since junior high! Wow! A band that wasn't put together by a record executive!All I can say is, that if The Donnas keep rockin' like they are, I see nothing but success for them in the future!
The Donnas Biography - The Donnas Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
This album finds the San Francisco-based quartet at their powerpop-rockin' best. Tracks like 'Take It Off' and 'Backseat' are all fit to burst with that patented Donnas attitude, loud guitars, punky hooks and irresistible energy. Atlantic. 2002.In 1999 the Donnas reached the age where they could Get Skintight. Then the racy foursome went on to Turn 21 in 2001. And for 2002, theirs is either an invitation or an offer to Spend the Night. And it'll be a whopper of a night. "It's on the Rocks" opens the evening on an anthemic note. The stoner paean "Pass It Around" appears just past midpoint, and "5 O'Clock in the Morning" closes the event. What's in between? Straight-ahead drumbeats, snarling guitars, and sassy vocals are the band's calling cards, and they're all very much in evidence here. Songs like "Take It Off" and "Please Don't Tease" are built upon bouncing melodies that are revved by choppy pop-punk guitar and simple rhymes ("tease" and "knees," for example). The Donnas' party–"Take Me to the Backseat" included–doesn't rage so much as it embraces a kind of postpunk free love that swaggers like the Ramones circa "Rockaway Beach." –Andrew Bartlett

A perfect rock album. Yep, these four girls, using the standard "bass, guitars, drums and vocals" rock instrumentation, singing simple, fresh, often naughty lyrics and slashing away with huge power chords and twisty solos…mostly at breakneck tempos…have crafted an outstanding rock album…rock with a capital "R", "A", "W" and "K".It's a fun listen. You'll smile while pumping your fist and flailing away on your air guitar. The single "Take It Off" gives you a good idea of the record…if you like it, you'll totally enjoy the rest of the album.But, there's hardly any tunes I skip now…it's maddeningly catchy.Check out these up and coming bands now…The Ataris, The Androids, The Exies…and The Donnas. All tuneful, driving, great rock…this is a great time to be listening to this type of music. Too bad radio/MTV hasn't picked up on all this good stuff. I've had enough of hip hop and rap metal…
WARNING: THE DONNAS WILL MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE SEVENTEEN! This music will make you feel rebellious, reckless, horny, joyful, invincible. It's everything good about Rock 'n Roll – loud, fast, irreverent, and most of all, FUN! When you throw this baby on, you'll be playing air guitar, desk drums, and singing out loud! Every song has a hook to it that pulls you right in. The first single, "Take it off", is a monster, joined by the opening track "It's on the Rocks" as well as "Please Don't Tease" and "Too Bad About Your Girl" and . . . ah, hell, the whole album ROCKS! These ladies play with an energy that cannot be denied! The album also comes with a great DVD which includes an interview of the band by Andy Dick, a behind-the-scenes look at the recording of the album, and a really funny video for "Do You Wanna Hit It" from their previous release _The Donnas Turn 21_. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED – NOW CHECK IT OUT!
The Donnas have abandon the punk-rock sound of there first few albums and have strayed into "Riot Girl", Hard Rock Territory.Where the Donnas could often be descirbed as a female Ramones, the new album blends the sounds of a harder rocking Joan Jett, with Kiss & AC/DC. If anyone out there has ever heard of the great Australian band, Angel City…this album sounds alot like there harder rocking music. Of course the Ramones/Punk influences are still here, but mainly in the lyrical content and song structure. The sound is pure, straight ahead rock. The only fault I see here is some of the ruff edges have been smoothed over production wise and the guitar riffs/solos seem to be less frequent. The vocals also seem to be more studio "enhanced" than before.Regardless in the age of Pink, Spears, and Christina…its great to see some of my teenage heros of the 70's and 80's have rubbed off on the newer generation.Actually minus Ace Frehley, this is the best album KISS never did!!
Took a chance on The Donnas and DAMN, did I win big…these girls ROCK!!! They're not Metal or punk, but more straight hard rock, no-frills, upbeat and fast; the kind you'd wish more girls would play. After hearing ten million women sing sappy ballads of heartbreak, it's damned refreshing to hear a girl DEMAND "Take me to the backseat". I can't think of who to compare them to since most girl bands don't rock this hard…maybe if the Runaways and AC/DC collided in a car crash, the Donnas would emerge. There's no great instrumental prowess but there doesn't need to be any: three minutes, three chords, they're in, they're out, next please. The only semi-slow song on the CD is "Too bad about your girl", and that's not even that slow. One of the best things about The Donnas is they actually CELEBRATE casual sex/getting laid (at least according to their lyrics) instead of crying over it like Britney or her ilk…If you don't "Take it off" fast enough they'd probably break a bottle over your head, and "Pass it around" might just as well mean a guy's johnson as well as a drink. Can't wait to see them on tour…

Notes: Little gives lineup a makeover
Pierre supplanting Furcal at leadoff spot among changes
LOS ANGELES -- Manager Grady Little shuffled the Dodgers batting order for Monday night's game.Little flopped the top two hitters, moving Juan Pierre to leadoff and dropping Rafael Furcal to second. He also switched the fifth and sixth hitters, elevating Russell Martin ahead of Luis Gonzalez, and moved third baseman Andy LaRoche (seventh) ahead of Andre Ethier (eighth). Nomar Garciaparra and Jeff Kent remain in the three and four slots. Little would not specify how long the experiment would last. "It will be more than one day," he said. Little had a simple answer as to why the changes. "Four runs in three days," he said, referring to the offensive production while the Dodgers were swept in Anaheim over the weekend. He wasn't as clear as to why the changes would awaken his club's sluggish offense. "We're just giving it a different look, and we'll see what happens," he said. "It's not necessarily having to do with anyone's non-production in a certain spot. It's for the sole purpose of given the entire lineup a different look." Oddly, the change means Little is taking his hottest hitter, Furcal, and moving him out of his preferred spot in the order and replacing him with Pierre, whose .305 on-base percentage is the lowest on the team among starters, largely because he's been hitting primarily fly balls. Furcal, in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak, has an on-base percentage of .369.
Pierre has been a leadoff hitter most of his career and was signed in the offseason to a five-year, $44 million deal even though the Dodgers already had a leadoff hitter in Furcal. Pierre said he didn't see the switch coming.
"I was caught off guard," Pierre said of the news. "Furcal is playing well. I just read the lineup and go play. Wherever I am, so be it. It came out of nowhere to me, but I've done it before. It's not like, 'Oh, my gosh.' Whatever it takes to help the team win. It's the same mentality. It's like riding a bike for me."
Furcal has said in the past that he prefers to bat leadoff, but he offered no public objection to moving in the hopes that it leads to more production from the rest of the lineup.
"If we're winning, I don't care," he said. "I don't think it will change anything for me. It's different if he gets on base, but if he's not on base, nothing changes. He was one of the best leadoff hitters in the game. I'm not surprised. The manager thinks he needs to change something so we can play better."Martin, tied for the club lead with 26 RBIs, has become one of the most productive hitters among National League catchers, and his .318 average leads the club starters. Gonzalez is batting .258 and has only half as many RBIs as Martin despite hitting one spot higher. The revamped lineup still is nothing like the one Little suggested he favored over the winter, before the signing of Gonzalez, which was intended to protect Kent. Back then, Little floated the idea of leading off Pierre, followed by Martin, Furcal, Kent and Garciaparra. Such an alignment now would increase the chances of consecutive hits. The Dodgers have strung consecutive hits only once in the last four games. Schmidt OK: Jason Schmidt came out of Sunday's simulated game in the bullpen without incident. "He felt good when he came in today," said Little. "We don't have a date for him to throw again, but it's very encouraging. He's anxious to get back out there." One tentative plan would have Schmidt throw a light bullpen session on Wednesday and face hitters on Friday, which would soon be followed by a Minor League rehabilitation assignment. Schmidt has been on the disabled list since April 15 with shoulder bursitis. Cutoff drills: It didn't last long, but right fielder Ethier was conspicuous in his absence when the Dodgers held a cutoff and relay drill on Monday. Ethier is the only starting outfielder with a strong throwing arm. Pierre and Gonzalez were joined by Brady Clark in throwing to cutoff infielders, who appeared a little deeper than normal, apparently a defensive adjustment the club is implementing to thwart clubs that run with impunity on the Dodgers' left and center fielders. A Win for WIN: Dodgers vice chairman and president Jamie McCourt will be honored on Tuesday in New York by Women's eNews as one of 21 exceptional individuals who make groundbreaking news by confronting issues of particular concern to women. McCourt, the highest ranking woman in baseball, was chosen from a reader-nominated list of hundreds of individuals that dedicate their lives to improving and empowering the lives the women. She is being recognized for her efforts to bring more women executives into baseball and to educate women about the thrills of the game through Dodgers WIN (Women's Initiative and Network). Coming up: Randy Wolf (5-3, 3.91 ERA) opposes Ben Sheets (4-2, 3.86) and the Brewers at 7:10 PT on Tuesday night. Wolf lost in Milwaukee on April 3, 4-3, when he allowed a two-run homer to Kevin Mench in the sixth inning.

Put An End To Fox Hunting
Fox Hunting has for years threatened the lives of defenseless foxes, and the injury it causes for other other animals is threateningly high. Here\'s the scene, a mother fox has ventured out into the forest, leaving her kits nestled safely in the den. The mother pauses hearing the blare of a trumpet, and the snapping bark of a close ancestor, a canine. The fox dashes off as mounted horses are forced to follow it\'s trail. The horses stumble onward through ditches, dodging trees. A dog strays, becoming caught in barb-wire fence and bloodied, left behind to die for the chase. The other dogs have the fox cornered into a tree, the gunshot is made, and a the mother\'s bloody corpse falls to the ground... I fine trophy it made for the hunters, but the kits, still blind and helpless, have nothing. Please act against this cruel sport, Sign the petition.

If you want to make over your body from the inside out, dieticians and doctors agree you might want to start with your pantry.
We spoke with a woman who kept the weight off for three years by making that part of her plan. With her advice, and the help of a dietician, we show you how and talk about some of the newest foods you should try.
Laurie Schneider's life is whole lot different now than it was a few years ago. That's when she decided to take charge of her health; and dropped 50 pounds.
She said joining Healthpoint Fitness and learning to love exercise was only part of her transformation. She needed guidance to give her diet a complete makeover from pantry to fridge.
Registered Dietician Raina Childers said what we saw, isn't what Laurie's pantry used to look like.
Laurie admits it used to look this: bar b que potato chips, white rice and pasta, high-sugar cereal and probably some cookies.
Raina said these choices are far healthier: oats, brown rice, whole grain cereal and low sodium soup. Then there's quinoa, one of those new foods growing in popularity; and Childers said it's not fad food.
Moving on to Schneider's refrigerator; now it's a model of health, but before it looked more like this: high fat milk, cheese and other dairy products, butter and soda where the vegetables should be.
Childers said it seems like the yogurt and milk sections have exploded at stores and most of the choices are great. Schneider likes greek yogurt with more protein and almond milk with fewer calories.
Childers also recommends exploring some greens when you pick out your produce. She said iceberg is great, but throw it out in favor of kale or spinach with more health benefits.
She also commends Schneider in both her fridge and pantry for choosing things like garlic and spices to flavor food instead of sauces with a lot of fat and calories.
Schneider said she made her results last be educating herself, asking for help and building on her knowledge a little bit at a time.
She said finding balance in her body with diet and exercise has allowed her to tip the scales for the better when it comes to her overall happiness and quality of life.
Childers reminds you to fill most of your plate with vegetables or fruit and while you should include lean protein, most people don't realize they're over doing it.
She said making over your diet can be simple if you take one step at a time and always have the right foods on hand. Some healthy foods she recommends include:

Hampshire youngsters set to benefit from county council budget
4:19pm Thursday 21st February 2013 in Winchester
YOUNG people in Hampshire are set to benefit in the county council's new budget, announced today (Feb 21).
The Conservative-run council, up for election in May, rubber stamped major spending increases in education, child care and adult services.
It will dip into its £307m cash reserves to balance the budget over the next two years and fund programmes including faster broadband in rural areas and a Winchester district heating scheme.
Leader Ken Thornber also announced 1,000 council apprenticeships for unemployed young people over the next five years, with guaranteed jobs when they end, and 30 university scholarships over three years for children from underprivileged families.
He said: "This is a budget about giving hope to 1,000 young people and is about securing jobs and expanding the economy of Hampshire."
Cllr Thornber added the council has made £130m savings over the past two years, including cutting 1,800 jobs, reducing payroll by £46m.
Another £600m will be spend on capital projects such as expanding school places, improving roads and housing for the elderly.

SF approves Twitter-sized apartments for tech workers
San Francisco is giving Twitter tax rebates to help grow a business that reduces our communications to 140 characters or less, and now the city's Board of Supervisors has approved the creation of extra-small apartments for the Twitter drones who toil long hours in the company's new mid-Market headquarters, along with their brethren at other tech companies, the target audience for these tiny living spaces.
Supervisor Scott Wiener today finally won approval for the "efficiency units" that he's been pushing for months, apartments with living space as small as 150 square feet for up to two people (the total square footage with closets and counters will be at least 220 square feet, with an extra 100 square feet required for each additional resident), to be made available for monthly rents in the $1,200-$1,400 range.
Some progressive supervisors have expressed concerns about the vaguely Orwellian idea of cramming the city's worker bees into ever-smaller living spaces, so the legislation initially caps the creation at 375 units and requires the city to study how it's all working out. "As we do this, it's important that we carefully study this," Sup. Jane Kim, whose downtown District 6 is expected to absorb most of these experimental new units, said today.
But the legislation was approved on a 10-1 vote, with only Sup. John Avalos – the progressive favorite in last year's mayor's race – voting no. "Overall, this does not make a lot of sense in the San Francisco I know," Avalos said. "I cannot stomach supporting this idea."
The "Silicon Valley" was useful farmland before the Computer Scientists gentrified it.
But there's nothing stopping you going back to the land if you wish.
Define "prosperity". Food is something you can actually use, not to mention something you need. The "value" of much of the tech industry can only be counted by means of our completely irrational, inflatable and deflatable financial system.
GenMod argo and fertilizer advances has kept productivity rising.
The US makes far more money from Apple than apples.
Your understanding of the "gentrification" concept is flawed. Gentrification is something that occurs where development already exists - not in rural farmland.
rent control laws in the nation, then the chances are you could never have stopped it anyway.
And certainly opposing all new private construction of homes hasn't helped.
No one one here cares.
No foosball! Those bastards!
Really, foosball-free engineering means that we get to do work when we're at the office instead of fake fighting with pop guns so that we can enjoy our lives once we leave the office.
I know. It's an outrage! Upton Sinclair must be spinning in his grave!
There is stratification going on in the industry:
On one side there are low-end drones that work 10+hr days for < $80K + 'amenities' that rob them of non-work life. They are narrowly specialized manufacturing line technicians, but, unlike factory drones, without union protection. Calling them engineers is just plain silly.
On the other side there are engineers with solid background that can use pretty much any toolset/language in no time, and understand system architectures from keyboard interrupts to relaxed distributed write-back policies. These are rare, and usually work in 'distinguished engineer' roles commanding >$180K salaries and relaxed schedules.
The industry matured and petrified to the point where it needs very few of the latter. Comparing pioneering engineering professions from 70s with drones that facilitate selling s*it over the 'net just doesn't make any sense.
What kind of community can be built when the lifespan of these drones is 9-18 months from hire to burn/wash out?
...who live alone and only have time to work and party a bit. It's short-term thinking.
legitimate segment of the community here, why shouldn't some housing be targetted to them with their needs in mind?
1. Because it legitimizes crass exploitation. These drones are already getting haircuts in vans parked in front of Zynga. What's next? Bordello vans? They are not going to copulate in 75 ft2. I hope.
2. Because it lowers the already depressed wages.
3. Because it means that real high tech development that require life-long commitments will be confined to military/government institutions.
trying to deny affordable housing opportunities to those who choose to work in such situations.
don't have too. It's not much more difficult to understand than that.
that whine about any new private housing, even while they complain that housing is too expensive (duh, because there isn't enough of it).
BTW, one bedroom rentals in my hood are now going for 3K a month - that's the same as at the height of the dotcom boom. We need more housing.
But it may very well have a ripple effect across the housing and construction industries as everyone but the rich is expected to squeeze into smaller spaces that are more expensive per square foot.
there are successful business and affluent workers. And anywhere but SF that would be welcomed. And in fact it is welcomed here except by the non-productive element of SF who think the city should be a subsidized playground for their weirdness.
Rents are still dirt cheap in Oakland and it's only 10 minutes from downtown - much closer than Richmon or Sunset.
Go home!
I should know...I live there! It's getting as bad as SF. And the worse part is all the SFers moving in. Talk about ATTITUDE!
In a decent part of SF, a room goes for $1,000.
Anywhere with Oakland's crime problem is going to be cheap.
you're the one who should go home. Not everyone has the fiscal power to live here.
Either one's income is growing at a rate that you can afford to live in San Francisco or you're "non-productive," huh? Got it.
But it's clear that some people have jobs that are not valued enough by society to enable them to live in SF.
So what? I can't afford to live in Hawaii, Aruba, Aspen or Geneva either.
San Francisco is a city, not a resort/niche place like those other places you listed. We need to do more so that those people with job not valued enough by society can, in fact, live in San Francisco. Real cities have all socioeconomic classes represented and active in the community. Gated communities don't. We have it in our power to make sure S.F. isn't just a playground for the rich with an underlayer of desperately poor people living on the streets.
I can't afford London, Paris or Manhattan either. Where does this idea come from that anyone and everyone who wants to live in SF should be able to?
SF is fortunate in having suburbs that are much cheaper and that are on a BART and with major freeways linking them to SF. If you cannot afford Sf, then why not Oakland?
The house I just bought in the Castro would be one third of that price in Oakland - just 10 minutes away by BART or car.
"Where does this idea come from that anyone and everyone who wants to live in SF should be able to?"
It comes from the same people that think that every Muni driver should be made a millionaire.
better life than having less money which, AFAIK, is ture in every nation and in every time period. Money gives you better stuff. Is that shocking to you?
This comment reflects the core of what is wrong in our society. It equates "value" with how much money a job pays. Of course, many low paying jobs are valuable--teachers, library workers, bus drivers, garbage collectors, counselors, child care workers, food service workers, etc.
These jobs do not provide enough profits to corporate masters to merit fair compensation. If you want high pay and you are not an owner, you must sell your brain power to them. Public interest, educated professionals make way less than those that help grease the wheels of the profit-driven economic system.
The society you want looks like apartheid South Africa. People that do the low paying essential work live in remote outposts to provide services for the wealthy who live in the core. This system requires lots of police and armed force to protect the rich from the masses. That is where we are heading.
between the living standards of those who can demand high pay and those who cannot? The reason we have an education system at all is to train people to be able to perform in the type of jobs that the nation needs. If we as a nation do not achieve economic success and prosperity, then we will all be poorer, and remember that the poorest Americans are much better off than almost anyone in, say, Africa.
Not everyone can afford to live in SF any more than I can afford to live in the best neighborhoods of SF. That's just the way the world is - some have the skills and education and ambition and industry to obtain well-paid work, and some sadly do not. The latter cannot reasonably expect a mansion in Pacific Heights, and maybe not even a condo in the Mission.
Reality bites.
living standards of those who can demand high pay and those who cannot in almost every country or time period especially in the industrial age. The gap between those living standards is widening at a increasing pace in our country at this time.
If the gap between A and B increases, but both A and B are better off because A created a successful business that employs B, then where's the problem?
Focusing on what others have is a form of class warfare that isn't helpful.
Class warfare makes the world go round. Like Warren Buffett said, It's class warfare and his class is winning.
The rising tide/trickle down theory is pure fantasy. Reality is that A is increasing while B is decreasing.
Go ahead. I know poor people living under bridges in San Francisco have it better than Africans, and that you can't afford to live in Aspen.
and not everyone has the fiscal power to live in the most desirable places.
Great idea! When are they coming to NYC?
SF has the highest housing density in the US after NYC.
Is always good for a hoot.
Years ago during the Guardian's election year progressive confirmation of Avalos he said that he was upset that people from out of town came here and tried tell the citizens how to live. Avalos being a golden son of the city of LA.
The concern for progressobots isn't the size of the unit but the fact that the people living in these units will not vote the strict Avalos/Jones carpet bagger ticket.
that it further skews the demographic here against their extreme left-wing agenda.
That's why Tim and Steven love poor people, the homeless, starving artists, activists and other assorted losers. People who generate success, jobs and prosperity are "boring".
We don't need no stinking tax base. We can just tax the rich. Oh, wait a minute . .
Nice to see a minimum of insults and argumentative name-calling on this board for once. This site is much more interesting when posters engage in a respectful debate. Not that I am innocent of name-calling, it's something I do too often.
The main reason for my dislike of the proposed shoebox-apartments is mostly aesthetic. Basically, I feel the same way about these Tokyo-style efficiencies as I do about strip malls. But even Twitter employees need housing. Plus, making it possible for them to live in the city will, in some cases, result in less commuter traffic and cut down on pollution.
I'm curious about something though. Doesn't the Board of Supervisors make sure that a certain percentage of affordable housing is constructed whenever a developer builds market rate living spaces? Why is this not happening with the shoeboxes?
comments, criticisms and corrections without acting out, name-calling and general attempts to shout down any opposition.
I feel sure that affordable housing setasides were discussed as part of this scheme but then of course the whole premise of these units is their affordibility. And if they are only suitable for high tech folks working long hours and requiring few creature comforts, then it seems unlikely that would be appropriate for the kind of people who typically inhabit BMR units.
Perhaps the future will allow for miniaturization of people and then this will be proved to be one of the most brilliant idea brought forth by the futuristic Scott Weiner and in that future it might mean these apartments are actually quite large or even too big for the future residents of SF and they could be subdivided to serve their original purpose.

Using Stem Cells to Make, Study, and Sort Useful Forebrain Cells

New Faculty I

Funding Recommendations:

Public Abstract:
Unbeknownst to many, stem cells have been used to treat patients for over four decades. Although not known at the time, bone marrow transplants – which are used commonly to treat blood disorders and cancers – are nothing more than transplants of hematopoetic stem cells. As a physician-scientist, this means to me that stem cell-based therapies for other human disorders are not questions of if, but when. My goal is to help us turn 'when' into 'now', by investigating mouse neural stem cell (NSC) findings with important clinical potential, determining the strength of their potential, then turning them into clinical realities by using human embryonic stem cells (hESCs). As a neuropathologist who specializes in the problems of infants and children, mice and their NSCs have helped us greatly to understand how and why brain development sometimes goes wrong. Now, with the advent of hESC culture systems, we have cells that provide better models of human brain disorders and can be used to treat them. In our first Aim, we will try to make choroid plexus epithelial (CPE) cells in a dish. Although not famous, CPE cells are extremely important for brain health and have tremendous clinical potential. The inability to grow CPE cells in culture has been a roadblock, but we have solved at least part of this puzzle. In this Aim, we use mice to figure out the factors needed to make CPE, then apply this knowledge to ESC cultures. We also look for adult CPE cells that can grow. Either avenue, if successful, would open up a number of direct applications for CPE cells in drug testing and clinical therapies. In the second Aim, we try to make neural stem cells that can 'sort' themselves. Sorting is the process of purifying desired cells away from unwanted ones, a general issue for regenerative medicine. If given the opportunity, some stem cells may be smart enough to sort themselves, and we have identified a factor that may provide this opportunity. In this Aim, we use mice to understand better what this factor does and use this factor in ESC cultures. If successful, this would provide a simple way to purify one type of stem cell for clinical applications, and the rationale to use self-sorting as a general approach. The third Aim also deals with the problem of sorting. We took an approach shown by others to distinguish highly similar cell types, but not stem cells. Remarkably, this approach not only detects subtle differences between stem cells, but apparently informs us about the kinds of cells that each stem cell can make. To our knowledge, this is a very unique capability. In this Aim, we use this bioengineering tool on a wide range of cells to see how well this principle holds up and to apply this principle to sort cells. If successful, this would be a brand-new way, which could be used alone or along with existing methods, to get the best cells for all sorts of clinical applications.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Our goal is to use human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) to help us understand human brain development and its disorders better and to make cells to treat these disorders. The project has three Aims: 1) to make choroid plexus epithelial cells, which have significant and largely untapped therapeutic potential, 2) to allow stem cells to sort themselves, which could be a simple general approach for purifying cells, and 3) to enrich for stem cells with specific properties using a bioengineering technology with unique capabilities. If successful in generating and purifying novel cell types with clinical utility, this project should have immediate and direct benefits to the State of California and its citizens, including pharmaceutical companies, basic scientists, clinicians, and patients. In addition, as a culture model for human brain development, the hESC studies should provide insights into developmental brain disorders that could lead to improved diagnostics for patients and their families.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: The study plan consists of three separate projects. One project deals with optimizing conditions to grow an interesting cell type - the chorioid plexus epithelial (CPE) cell, which is the cellular source of cerebral spinal fluid. A second project addresses the self-assembly of neural stem cells into rosette-like structures. The third project is to determine if a technique called dielectrophoresis (DEP) can be used to segregate neural stem cells by their developmental fate options. The first aim of the project studies the role of Lhx2 in formation of choroids plexus epithelial (CPE) cells in culture. The PI will explore the use of various growth and transcription factors to induce CPE from mouse and human ESC and will also determine if there are adult CPE precursors that could provide an alternative starting point for generation of CPE in culture. The second aim studies how stem cells self aggregate (assemble) under the influence of Lhx2, and to make cortical stem cells that sort themselves. In a completely different line of research, the third aim will test whether Dielectrophoresis (DEP) can be used to separate closely-related stem cells with different fates. DEP sorts cells by inducing a non toxic, frequency-dependent dipole, which is a whole cell characteristic involving multiple cell compartments. Therefore, unlike FACS, DEP sorts cells wholistically and can distinguish different cells in nearly instantaneous unbiased fashion. The technology has been used successfully to separate neurons from astrocytes. The applicant would like to see if DEP can distinguish otherwise similar neural stem cells that are predisposed for alternate fate choices. STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE RESEARCH PLAN: This is a very poor study plan from an applicant with "blue chip" clinical and scientific credentials. On a case by case basis, each of the three specific aims is interesting and has some potential. Taken together, however, the three aims undercut each other. Reviewers sensed no vision or unified sense of purpose to the application. Each aim will be discussed separately. The first aim is to grow choroid plexus epithelial cells in culture. The applicant correctly points out that these are interesting, and perhaps underappreciated cell types. Choroid plexus epithelial cells are the source of cerebral spinal fluid. They are also major contributors to the blood brain barrier. The ability to grow and expand the cells would have obvious implications for drug screening and investigation for bypassing this barriers. In addition, CPE represents a potential therapeutic cell type in transplantation therapies, as endogenous CPE secretes growth factors and can provide a supportive environment for repair. Damage to CPE can also contribute to poor outcome in neurodegeneration. It would have been nice to see a fully fleshed out grant proposal on these cells alone. Aim 1 was a laundry list of experiments without enough details to judge their feasibility or likelihood of uncovering important new findings. The second specific aim is to learn how stem cells self assemble into rosette like structures. In preliminary studies, the applicant has identified a gene product (Lhx2) that enables the assembly of these rosettes in mosaic mice. The applicant does not do a good job of selling this specific aim. Why are these rosettes important? What fundamental problem in neuroscience or neurological disease will be addressed by understanding the assembly process? The scientific/clinical rationale for studying Lhx2 and rosette formation is not well articulated. Moreover, specific aim 2 is completely orthogonal to the first specific aim, and also to the third aim. The third specific aim is to segregate closely-related stem cells into separate pools with alternative fates using dieletrophoresis (DEP). DEP technology has been around nearly a decade so the method itself cannot be considered novel or original. However, the application of DEP proposed by this applicant is interesting and it would be nice to see if he could get it to work. This is the most creative of the three specific aims; however, one wonders where the applicant's heart lies. How would he prioritize these three aims? The Research Plan was essentially written in point form without sufficient detail or big picture overview to understand or judge. Each aim is a laundry list of single experiments without details such as the age of animal or tissue sample used for micro-array studies. It is also not carefully edited - throughout he refers to FigX. In preliminary results the Figure legends (example Fig.2) do not correlate with graphs and there is not enough detail (what kind of explant tissue was used in Fig.1, for example) to judge the significance of the results. Also a magnifying glass is needed to read much of the text in the figures. Finally, mouse ES cells form rosettes poorly and only in certain conditions - it is not clear whether he knows this. He will be highly dependent on collaborators for aims 2 and 3. Given 1) the strong scientific background of this applicant and 2) his exemplary track record, reviewers were prepared to see a cohesive yet innovative and sophisticated study plan. The application in hand falls far short of this expectation. The study plan is a loose collection of projects with no cohesive vision, no central scientific question, and no apparent goals. QUALIFICATIONS AND POTENTIAL OF THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: The applicant received a bachelor of science degree in biology from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His M.D. and his Ph.D. (neurosciences) are from UC San Diego. Clinical training at several Harvard teaching hospitals was followed by a period of postdoctoral research with noted neurogeneticist Chris Walsh. The applicant was very productive at both the pre-doctoral and postdoctoral levels. First author publications in top-tier journals such as Neuron and Science resulted from both of these training intervals. There are two gaps in time (1993-2001, 2001-2005) where there were no publications. The applicant joined the faculty of UC Irvine in 2001 where he serves now as an Assistant Professor of Pathology. Several research articles have already appeared from his his own laboratory, and these have been published in well-regarded journals such as Development and the Journal of Neuroscience. The applicant has also generated some research support for his laboratory from private foundations; however, no major research grant support from the NIH is apparent to date. The applicant has five Ph.D. students in his lab, including two in the UCL Medical Scientist Training Program. He has published 3 papers as a PI since 2001 (Dev, J Neurosci Res, J Neuro Sci). He has three grants (Whitehall, NIH/NINDS KO, March of Dimes). He states this CIRM New Faculty Award would be instrumental in achieving his goals and overcoming obstacles. It would not only provide the necessary time and resources to get the mESC and hESC cultures and analytical tools in place, but also to generate meaningful data from them. These studies are not currently funded and he thinks would be premature by NIH RO1 standards. There will be two main avenues by which he will receive formal evaluations and feedback from mentors – one from his home department (Pathology & Laboratory Medicine) which provides a supportive home base for physicians-scientist and its research faculty, including an open door policy and frequent ad hoc mentoring by the chairman (Michael Selsted), and the other through a Faculty Oversight Committee of the SCRC that oversees all of the research and training conducted in the Center, and advised PIs and trainees on any and all aspects of their work. He states that currently his clinical responsibilities (including neuropathologist for the National Human Neural Stem Cell Resource, Children's Hospital of Orange County) constitute much less than 25% effort, which allows him the necessary time to do research. During the course of this award, his clinical duties (the surgical and autopsy neuroplathology service at the UCL Medical Center) will remain at a low percentage effort to facilitate his research. INSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT TO PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: The applicant's department chair at UC Irvine has provided a strong letter documenting institutional support. Dr. Monuki was given a generous research start package. His current and future salary are supported by a full line FTE from the state of California. He is protected from excess teaching and clinical duties. Research space is ample and key core facilities are available. His chairman states that Dr. Monuki has had, and will continue to have, the necessary facilities, collaborative resources, and administrative support to ensure his success. In addition to his own resources, these include equipment and resources in his department and the Institution. He will continue to have administrative support from his department. The University of California at Irvine has a commendable track record of promoting the career development of junior faculty. UCI views the support of outstanding young investigators as an integral part of the commitment to stem cell research. It is making a major commitment to stem cell research and the new Sue and Bill Gross Stem Cell Research Center should supply all the core needs along with the equipment given to him in his start-up package. DISCUSSION: This investigator has good training and good mentorship and is a good physician-scientist although he has two significant gaps in publication. The choroid plexus model and Aim 3 are interesting. However, the proposal is diffuse, with disparate and shallow aims that read like a laundry list of experiments. The grant was poorly conceived, poorly written, poorly organized, and contains mistakes.

Chilean Inca Necklace
Buy the Chilean Inca Necklace and Earrings Set for $265.00
In the Andes mountains at elevations of more than 12,000 feet, open trenches accessible only by mule yield gleaming stones, including lapis lazuli, the national stone of Chile. The Inca kingdom flourished in this part of the world, and today jewelers in family-owned shops in Santiago draw on geometric Inca designs to create pieces that blend history and geography into wearable art. The tapered forms of these lapis lazuli, turquoise, jasper, chrysocolla, and pyrite stones, outlined in sterling silver, echo the shape of ancient stone doorways found at Incan ruins.

Irish Rep's Wonderful Life "Radio Play" Opens Dec. 10, With Peter Maloney, Katie Fabel and Max Gordon Moore
By Kenneth Jones
Irish Repertory Theatre's It's a Wonderful Life, The 1946 Live Radio Play opens Off-Broadway Dec. 10 following previews from Dec. 5 on Irish Rep's intimate second stage, the W. Scott McLucas Studio Theatre.
"Set in a radio station in the 1940s, with a busy live sound FX artist and six actors playing 25 characters, this poignant Christmas drama comes vividly to life," IRT promises. Artistic director Charlotte Moore (Dancing at Lughnasa, New Girl in Town) directs.
The cast includes Rory Duffy, Katie Fabel, Kristin Griffith, Ian Holcombe, Peter Maloney and Max Gordon Moore. Production stage manager is Michael Palmer. The production's live sound design is by Zach Williamson.
The radio play draws from the Frank Capra film of the same name, about a guardian angel who shows desperate George Bailey how valuable he is, on Christmas Eve. The radio play was adapted by Anthony E. Palermo from the screenplay by Francis Goodrich, Albert Hackett, Frank Capra and Jo Swerling.
Performances continue to Dec. 30. Irish Rep is at 132 W. 22nd Street.
Also at The Irish Repertory Theatre, on its Francis J. Greenburger Mainstage, is Phil Coulter in The Songs I Love So Well, continuing through Dec. 30. Brian Friel's fall hit The Freedom of the City resumes on the mainstage in January. Charlotte Jones' Airswimming was just announced for the McLucas Studio for an early 2013 run.

AFC North Spin cycle: The Steelers' wasted season
The Ravens are AFC North champs, and the Bengals are playoff-bound, too. Meanwhile, the Steelers are left to ponder a lost season.
Bengals make playoffs after 13-10 win over Steelers
A.J. Green caught 10 passes for 116 yards, including a 21-yarder to set up the game-winning field goal as the Bengals beat the Steelers.
Key matchup: Bengals running game vs. Steelers run defense
The Bengals' success in the ground game will go a long way in determining whether they can beat Pittsburgh on Sunday.

Eric Edholm looks ahead to Week 16, which features some key divisional matchups that will have major playoff ramifications — including Seahawks vs. 49ers.

Taylor broke his left thumb in the first quarter of the 16-7 exhibition loss to the Washington Redskins on Friday night.||||||| Coach Mike Tomlin said Taylor "could be out for a couple of weeks or so."

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed Taylor Sunday to a four-year contract extension, assuring the team won't have any unrestricted free agents after this season. Taylor's deal runs through 2010 and would be worth $22.5 million if he plays through the final season, plus incentives. The Steelers cornerback will receive $6.4 million in guaranteed money.||||||| Taylor was a fourth round pick in the 2003 NFL draft, has played in two AFC championship games and one Super Bowl with the Steelers.

Amarillo, TX -- Fifty years ago today (Aug. 28), Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his iconic speech that in many ways articulated the civil rights movement.
When Dr. King spoke at the Lincoln Memorial in 1963, the country was in an era of tremendous social upheaval. And one local woman saw firsthand the problems and progress in Amarillo over the last five decades.
Iris Lawrence graduated high school in Amarillo in 1960. She graduated one year early by taking summer classes at Amarillo High - because blacks weren't allowed to attend during the regular school year.
"We saw the fountains that said 'Colored,' and 'White Only' -- we saw that -- white restrooms, colored," Iris recalls, "We were accustomed to that, and we thought that was just the way it was supposed to be."
In 1963, Iris and several other young black people were arrested at the Paramount Theater in downtown Amarillo after refusing to leave when the theater refused to sell them tickets.
"When we got there to basically go in to try to see the movie, the lady turned her back on us. She wouldn't acknowledge us," said Iris. "And therefore, we just stood there, and then we kind of moved around a little bit, you know - but we didn't move, and so finally they called the police department and told them to come and take us to jail."
And although they were only held for a few hours, Iris remembers the incident as one of many that taken together were representative of the underlying societal problem of racial prejudice and the continued need for change. She says enormous strides have been made since then, but we still have farther to go toward achieving the ideal of social equity.
"It's going to take another generation or two before we can say, 'I'm your sister and you are my brother,' and think nothing of it. It's getting to that point, but we still have a long way to go," says Lawrence.
In his historic speech, Dr. King stated, "This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy."
I asked Iris what she thought King would say if he were alive today.
"I'm sure he would say, 'I'm proud - still proud to be an American," she replied. "And my dream now is that we will be able to keep going, keep going, until this dream that I've had would be fulfilled - and that's to say that all men are created equal."
King once stated, "if we are to go forward, we must go back and rediscover those precious values - that all reality hinges on moral foundations and that all reality has spiritual control."
You can read the full transcript of his speech at the national archives by following the link attached to this story.

"Electronic Easter egg hunting" is how Scott Grandstaff, scoutmaster of Cub Scout Pack 3200, describes geocaching.
But in this case, Grandstaff said, a GPS device is used to find the "Easter egg."
Geocaching is an outdoor activity where players try to find hidden containers — geocaches — using a handheld GPS. There are more than 2 million geocaches worldwide.
"Lita Rouser contacted us and asked if we would like to be involved in Logansport's 175h anniversary," Grandstaff said. "I thought it would be a great experience. The geocaches were placed in Cass County to help celebrate."
Grandstaff said this wasn't the first time Pack 3200 experienced geocaching — the pack offers a geocaching merit badge. Pack 3200, consisting of about 20 scouts, placed eight geocaches around Cass County.
To find where the caches are, visit www.geocaching.com and type in the location or Logansport's 175th as a keyword. Grandstaff said a handheld GPS is accurate and a $5 iPhone app can be downloaded to help find caches. He suggested people avoid car GPS systems, saying they don't work as well off-road.
Six of the eight caches can be found on the website. The final two cache descriptions will be published soon, Grandstaff said.
One of the caches is placed to signify Old Towne Battle, a battle taking place in Cass County. The site of Old Towne is northeast of Adamsboro on the Eel River. Grandstaff said the Daughters of the American Revolution helped with the cache site.
Other cache locations include the Dentzel Carousel, ReVere Motor Car Company, John Tipton's grave, near a doorway marking the level of the 1913 flood and four other historically significant locations.
Online are additional descriptions explaining the significance of each location along with the difficulty and terrain surrounding each cache.
The site indicates John Tipton was instrumental in routing the Michigan Road and the Wabash and Erie canal through the county along with naming Logansport. It also goes into Aldoph Monsen's involvement with ReVere Motor Car Corporation and history the Dentzel Carousel, a national historic landmark.
Grandstaff has been geocaching with his 10-year-old son, Wes, for two years.
Wes, a fifth-grader at Columbia Elementary, helped his father hide some of the caches in Cass County along the geocaching trail.
Wes said he has fun geocaching with his father. He said they spend a lot of time geocaching in the summer.
"My favorite part is finding it," Wes said. "If we have nothing to do it's really fun."
Scott said they have been working on the geocaches for five or six months. He said it has been very active and many people are finding and hunting geocaches.
"Participating is a great way to celebrate Logansport's history and get the family involved," Grandstaff said. "We prepared something many people could enjoy. It's inexpensive and gets you outdoors."

A Glendale woman is facing felony counts of child abuse after police say she neglected her daughters.
On Saturday, the pastor of a church in Peoria called police after the 7- and 12-year-old daughters of Cynthia Heitz were dropped off there by a friend and left alone for some time.
Police contacted the woman, but by the time they showed up to her apartment with the girls, Heitz was gone.
Detectives say the apartment located near 67th and Olive Avenues was infested with bed bugs and that the girls had insect bites on their bodies. There was rotting food and trash. The girls were dirty and hadn't eaten.
Records show CPS previously removed the girls from the home.
Police arrested Heitz Sunday. Her boyfriend told investigators she uses methamphetamine.

Ray Glueckert, Head Coach of the Dawson Community College softball team, is proud to announce that sophomore Samantha Ewalt has signed a letter of intent to play softball for the Dickinson State University Blue Hawks next year. DSU competes in the DAC-10 Conference of the NAIA.
Ewalt, a switch-hitting centerfielder, was the Lady Buccaneers' freshman MVP last year and earned 1st team All-Tournament and 2nd team All-Region honors as she led DCC in batting average. "Sami should do very well in the conference this year as a sophomore," said Coach Glueckert. "She has a great work ethic and is widely recognized throughout the conference for her abilities."
Samantha will be joining a Dickinson State team that reached the Elite 8 round of the NAIA National Tournament last season. The Blue Hawks softball team is currently the #5 team in the nation, according to the pre-season poll. "Sami was highly recruited and made a great choice in choosing DSU," commented Coach Glueckert. "They have a very successful program with a strong team and high expectations."
A graduate of Laurel High School in Laurel, Montana, Samantha is certainly no stranger to athletic success. She has two Montana state titles to her credit, contributing to Laurel's Class A state champion softball and basketball teams in 2006.
DCC competes in D-1 Region IX of the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA). For more information on the DCC softball team, contact Coach Glueckert at 406.377.9460. To find out more about Dawson Community College Buccaneer Athletics, visit www.dawson.edu/athletics or call the Athletic Department at 406.377.9450.

I have never taken an online course before and had no idea what to expect. This course was excellent. The format, contents and expectations were perfect for people who also hold full time jobs. Each and every lesson provided a wealth of information which was easy to digest. The websites that accompanied each lesson were fantastic and extremely useful. My experience was most definitely a positive one! I highly recommend this class to potential students.
I honestly think this has been the best class I have ever taken. It is my first online class and I have been just amazed. Ms. Colwell has helped me change my whole outlook on classroom computers. I want to sincerely thank you.
I just wanted to let you know how much I have learned from this class. I have returned to teaching after 9 years and I have three children. I don't have much time to post comments etc., but I greatly appreciate all the work you have done in providing information on such great websites. The instruction and ideas on projects has been excellent. I am fortunate to have a smartboard in my room and thanks to you, it is not a glorified chalkboard. Thank you.
I was nervous about signing up for a computer class that was taught over the internet. How could such a class possibly help me grow in knowledge and experience without a live body being right there? Well, I have learned a lot. I found out mistakes I have been making in my classroom, ways to better use the materials available to me, and courage to try the new things I learned in the course. I have enjoyed this experience so much that I have signed up for two more such classes. Thank you for providing this type of material.
This class was great!! The instructor really inspires me to go into the classroom and share these great ideas and equipment with the students. I taught for forty years, if I had been exposed to computers that worked, the internet, and Stacy's organizational skills, I would have never retired. (I'm renewing my certificate).
This course has caused me to use the computer in more ways with my students. They have shown a great interest in doing assignments on the computer. In using the computer the students have made improvements in their work.
This was a well-planned and useful online course. The material was directly relevant to a classroom teacher's daily life. I particularly liked how the lessons were geared to show computer usaged in all the topics.
There are websites, practices, and ideas learned from this course that I am now using regularly in the classroom. I have recommended this course to others on several occasions. Thanks for the great material!
What a great course! The instructor's writing style was easy to read and informative. I learned a lot about computers, and feel much more confident in using them in my classroom. Thank you!
This was a great introduction class for me. I have been out of the classroom for a few years and am planning on going back. I definitely needed a refresher and this really fit my needs. Thanks for the great class!

Jeremiah Masoli has played his last game for Oregon. The star quarterback, who was suspended for the 2010 season following pleading to a misdemeanor theft charge, has been kicked off the team after a traffic incident Monday night, according to the team's official Twitter feed.
Per OregonLive.com, Masoli was pulled over Monday night after not stopping after exiting a driveway. Masoli was found to be driving with a suspended license, as well as having a small amount of marijuana in the car. His arraignment is scheduled for June 24th, though none of the charges against him carry any jail time.
Oregon promptly dismissed Masoli from the team after news of his latest legal woes surfaced, ending a tumultuous past six months for the troubled quarterback and university. Masoli, who led Oregon to the Rose Bowl in 2009, came under fire after being implicated in the theft of a computer from a campus fraternity this past January. Masoli eventually plead to a misdemeanor, and was suspended from the team for the 2010 season, though he planned to return in 2011 to use his last year of college eligibility. Masoli's legal issues, of course, came on the heels of running back LeGarrette Blount's infamous punch in the team's season-opening game against Boise State, casting an extremely negative light on the Oregon program, and creating little tolerance for any further legal problems.
Masoli finishes his Oregon career as the school's all-time leading rusher for a quarterback, after guiding the Ducks to consecutive 10-3 seasons.

My policy on the computer is "if I did not ask for it or look for it, I don't open it. Period."
That goes for forwards from folks I know too, unless I ask for them. If it is not personal and original, I don't want it..
Re: www..... .y?
It is a scam, those have been around awhile. You fill out a long survey and give them your name address, phone number, email address, and they give all theme to the spammers, then there are a lot of offers for credit cards, etc. you usually have to sign up for 3 or 4 of the offers and use them a while before you get the gift card. Since you have provided them with all the info, and the spammers who subscribe to their service do not have to honor the do not call lists, etc. on the basis they have had previous contact with you. if you read the site, or possibly in the call it will have buried in it someplace "participation required".
