Kavon Coleman struggles to walk and even has trouble sleeping after being shot. We've since learned he and his mother were saving to fix up a house, but now they're both out of work.
Coleman said he was shot for his Air Jordan Retro basketball shoes. He paid $410 for the shoes, stepped off a bus in northwest Detroit, and was shot by a man several times. The gunman escaped.
Also See: Detroit teen shot because someone allegedly wanted his Air Jordan sneakers
Korrene Adams is Kavon's mother. She was working and bought a three bedroom house in Detroit one month before her son was shot. Kavon was working at Subway inside Henry Ford Hospital. They were paying bills and planned to fix up the new home.
They got a deal on the house because while it was vacant, scrappers stripped it clean. The bank sold it cheap to Korrene, but then Kavon was shot. He can't work and Korrene has to help care for Kavon, so her employer informed her that they could not hold her job. That means both Korrene and Kavon are out of work while he recovers.
Kavon has two brothers and a sister, so the family of five now all moved in with a relative's family, but it simply is too crowded.
Korrene has a nice home, but it has been stripped. She would love to move her family there if she can replace the stolen items. However, it's bleak in the basement. The furnace, hot water tank and copper piping are all gone.
Korrene said she is down, but not out, and her family is still thankful.
"Just the fact that my (son's) life was spared is what is making me hold on."
It won't be easy. It will take work, appliances and labor. They never bought any beds, and now they're starting from scratch.
"By me having to be there with him 24/7, it's like my funds (are) dry, and he's like, 'Mom, I wish I could help you. I wish I could help you more.'"

My journey
My mother passed away from breast cancer when she was 48 years old. My family really never recovered from our lost. So when I had my daughter I knew I would never skip a mammagram or annual check up.
The hardest part of my journey
The hardest part of my journey was the scariness of it all. Its (cancer) is so much bigger than we are and the thought that my daughter could endure the pain I did of growing up without a mother was too much to bare. But, (and this is big but), the healthcare I received and the support(by friends, family and the medical community) helped me get through it day by day.
If I could do it over again
No sure...I wouldn't change anything I did but I'm not sure if I had known I was BRCA1 positive before I had cancer if I would have done things differently. What I do know is that EDUCATION is power. Read everything, talk to your doctors, talk to friends. Learn as much about your diesase and treatment as possible.

#podcast – How introducing Agile practices could help evolve the workings of a newsroom
June 15th, 2012Posted by Sarah Marshall in Podcast
Agile is a methodology and set of values, principles and practices used by software developers to push out technologies quickly, while continually improving the product and responding to change.
This podcast looks at ideas of how journalists can use the practices in the newsroom.

- John Stefany, project manager, NPR
- Martin Belam, lead UX at the Guardian, soon to be leaving to run his own consultancy
- Brian Boyer, who was news applications editor at the Chicago Tribune and is soon to join NPR

Equipping Children with Spiritual and Political Armor
As my friends' kids leave the nest for their first year away at college, I think of the monolithic ideas with which they will surely be bombarded in an environment that is supposed to expose them to a variety of ideas. Are they prepared to resist the seductive but destructive message?
Liberal elites have dominated most university faculties for years, but it seems they've become bolder, more radical and more militant. It is not their ideas I fear, because Christianity and conservatism stand up to truth challenges. It is the moral preening, the politicization of academics, the peer pressure, the revisionist distortions and the potential discrimination against dissenters.
You know the drill. The professorate will aggressively beat into your children's heads that America is not the greatest nation in history, but largely responsible, through action or inaction, for much of the suffering in the world and that it is imperialistic, exploitive and selfish. They'll say that Christianity is narrow, intolerant, anti-intellectual, anti-science, homophobic, hateful and judgmental and that capitalism is corrupt and skewed toward the "rich" and big corporations. They'll say or imply that political conservatism is inherently racist, homophobic, sexist, militaristic, unenlightened, close-minded, mean-spirited and uncompassionate.
As parents, are you aware that the above scenario is likely to play out to some extent at most universities? Do you disagree or think it's not a big deal? Do you believe your kids are immune from this inevitable onslaught? Are you confident that even if they are exposed to such slander, they will reject it as inconsistent with their own personal experiences?
Are you sure, for example, that your kids have the discernment to recognize the disinformation that Christianity and conservatism are hardhearted, selfish, hateful, bigoted and intellectually backward and the strength to oppose it? Apart from your kids' presumed respect for you, do they have the intellectual ammunition and the spiritual armor to resist the pressure to conform?
Parents who find themselves in this position must not be complacent, assuming naively that they've done all they can do and that their kids have picked up, by osmosis or example, a proper and sustaining worldview orientation. Though they have been exposed to a culture war since they first started watching TV and going to movies, they are about to enter a new, intensified phase of it.
Christian parents should not assume their kids are equipped to filter out the false claims they will likely encounter. Christianity is the opposite of how it is often portrayed in our culture and is none of those negative things indicated above. You owe it to yourselves and your kids to anticipate the attacks and think through how they can be countered. Don't assume your excellent child rearing will be enough. We must stand up to the challenge and test our own faith, if necessary, reviewing what and why we believe. If we can't explain it, should we expect our kids to understand it?
Please don't dismiss these warnings as my opportunistic construction of a straw man. As my friend Frank Turek warns, "Christian young people are leaving the church at an alarming rate, mainly because they are not equipped to examine the skepticism and atheism they encounter, often coming from their college professors, after leaving home." So do your homework and help arm your kids. Or consult other sources for help, such as Frank's website, CrossExamined.org, which has information on how you can help teach or reinforce in your kids why Christianity is true and reasonable — and loving.
Likewise, as politically conservative parents, you should help insulate your kids from the propaganda coming their way. You might want to first remind them that a strong majority of Americans are center-right and reject most of the ideas being forced on us by the vocal, strident and extreme leftist minority in this country. Next, of course, you need to address the specific libels hurled at conservatives and substantively respond to and refute the claims that they are bigoted, selfish and unreasonable.
If you have time to address little else, at least strive to explain to your kids in a thoughtful way why conservatism is not only not uncompassionate but also more compassionate, open-minded, tolerant, science-compatible and consistent with our human experiences than liberalism. You must do what you can to help prevent your kids from being shamed into liberalism through its false claim of having a monopoly on compassion.
Parents, are you prepared? Are your kids? Can we agree we have some work to do?

We went through this in the early part of this decade. Our daughter was going to Radford (VA) U. It's a well known "party" school, but it was close enough to home that she could keep the jobs she had. She was also able to stay with her church.
Since her time there, she has told me of some things she experimented with, but with no adverse consequences. Having spent a career in the Navy I had no misconceptions about what she'd encounter there. Having also learned to listen to and decipher what public figures say from listening to your brother since he went nationwide, I did my best to keep up with what she was hearing and reading. Some of the textbooks seemed straight out of Newspeak.
I will say that good rearing is more than 50% of the preparations. She started doing admin work at the local Sheriff's office at 15. She also worked at the local supermarket and waitressed at a restaurant near campus. I never doubted her ability to do the school work for her degree, but was concerned until she was away from there.
She got her degree in Criminal Justice and works in the area court systems as an advocate for abused women. She graduated in under 4 years, did an internship with BATF (I kept asking her when she'd get issued jackboots) and spent a semester in London, which she mostly paid for.
I'm not sure how all this applies to your posting, but I just wanted a chance to brag on what a great young woman she has become. And after having been through the modern academic system, she remains a conservative.

Snookie doesn't go to college, but she gets paid there
Submitted by Radical1979 on Fri, 04/01/2011 - 7:12pm.
Along this topic I saw on Fox News that Rutgers paid Snookie $32,000 to speak. Apparently she was the choice of the students. I think I would be insulted to be paying her $32,000 to speak to me (if I were a college student).

Valdosta Firefighter Eddie Rodriguez was recently named the 2012 Firefighter of the Year by the Exchange Club of Valdosta.

"Since joining the Valdosta Fire Department in 2008, Firefighter Rodriguez has stood out among his peers by going above and beyond to serve the department and the citizens of our community," said Valdosta Fire Chief J. D. Rice. "He is an outstanding and contributing member of our team and has a promising future with the city."
Firefighter Rodriguez, fluent in the Spanish language, has had a positive influence at the department over the years. He has taught his fellow firefighters common Spanish phrases to assist in their fire fighting duties.

IBM is celebrating the 100th anniversary of its founding Thursday. Led by American capitalist icons Thomas J. Watson, Sr., and Thomas J. Watson, Jr., until the 1970s, the company grew from a pre-World War I conglomeration of companies making tabulating machines and time-keeping devices into a globe-spanning technology behemoth that pioneered the development of electronic computers and dominated the mainframe era.
The company holds a mind-boggling array of patents and pioneered advances in a wide range of technologies including punched cards, processors, transistors, storage, word-processing, databases, and OSes. As one of the emblematic 20th-century corporations, IBM also went through turbulent times. The U.S. government brought several antitrust lawsuits against the company, and critics have attacked it for alleged cosiness with repressive regimes. After Watson, Jr., retired in the 1971, the company seemed to lose its way as mainframe computing began to face competition from smaller, more modular systems. Increasing bureaucracy contributed to missteps during the PC revolution, and IBM suffered a series of annual losses in the early 1990s. Under the reins of then-CEO Lou Gerstner, starting in the mid-90s, the company bounced back to profit by focusing on software, system integration, and other services, which remain key to the company's growth today.

Although Hewlett-Packard, after its acquisition of Compaq, overtook IBM as the world's largest computer company by annual revenue, IBM's global reach and broad product portfolio still make it one of the largest and most profitable IT companies in the world, with about 427,000 employees and a profit of $14.8 billion on sales of $99.9 billion last year. The following is a timeline of milestone events in one of the quintessential U.S. corporate success stories.
1889: Time-recording equipment maker Bundy Manufacturing is incorporated.
1896: Punched-card, electric tabulating equipment maker The Tabulating Machine is incorporated.
1911: Incorporation on June 16 of the Computing-Tabulating-Recording Company (C-T-R), which merges Bundy, Tabulating Machine, Computing Scale, and International Time Recording. Headed by trust organizer Charles Flint, the company has 1,300 employees.
1914: Thomas J. Watson, Sr., joins C-T-R at age 40, after learning aggressive sales tactics at the National Cash Register (NCR) that led to his conviction on antitrust charges. The verdict was set aside after an appeal. Within 11 months of joining C-T-R, Watson became its president. His focus on marketing and sales and large-scale tabulating products for businesses helped company revenue more than double in his first four years at C-T-R, to $9 million. Over the next four decades as IBM CEO, Watson, Sr., became an American business icon, pioneering worker benefits such as paid vacations and group insurance while instilling discipline and loyalty in generations of IBM workers.
1923: The first electric key punch is introduced, representing an advance on mechanical systems.

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Four days after scoring a Champions League record five goals, Barcelona forward Lionel Messi takes aim at the slumping Racing Santander in the Spanish league on Sunday.
With Barcelona's attack missing the injured David Villa and Alexis Sanchez, the defending champions will once again turn to Messi to keep them in touch with runaway leader Real Madrid.
The 24-year-old Argentina international needs just seven more goals to match Barcelona's all-time club record of 235 held by Cesar Rodriguez.
Jose Mourinho's Madrid first visits Real Betis on Saturday looking to extend its 10-point lead and pile the pressure on Barcelona not to stumble at the relegation-threatened Racing.

Former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Peter O'Malley is leading an investment group that's in the middle of negotiations with Padres owner John Moores. O'Malley's group was given an exclusive negotiating window, and according to Ken Rosenthal, they used it well:
Source: O'Malley group selected to buy #Padres. Price will be $800M, including $200M for portion of team's equity in Fox Sports San Diego.— Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) July 7, 2012
The television rights are no small thing, as the Padres are one of the latest teams to swing a big television deal, which is one of the reasons why the sale price is reportedly twice the Forbes estimate from just a couple months ago.
The deal isn't official, as the San Diego Union-Tribune cautions:
Sources say #Padres majority owner John Moores still negotiating with O'Malleys, but no agreement expected until after All-Star break— U-T Padres (@sdutPadres) July 7, 2012
But, heck, throw a little caution to the wind and assume it's true. Rosenthal wouldn't make this stuff up. He's good!

If you have endometriosis and your symptoms affect your normal activities, your doctor may recommend one or more treatments or surgical options. Some of those options may include:
PN 1002241 Rev B 01/2014
All surgery presents risk, including da Vinci® Surgery and other minimally invasive procedures. Serious complications may occur in any surgery, up to and including death. Examples of serious or life-threatening complications which may require hospitalization include injury to tissues or organs, bleeding, infection or internal scarring that can cause long-lasting dysfunction or pain. Temporary pain or nerve injury has been linked to the inverted position often used during abdominal and pelvic surgery. Risks of surgery also include potential for equipment failure and human error. Risks specific to minimally invasive surgery may include: A long operation and time under anesthesia, conversion to another technique or the need for additional or larger incisions. If your surgeon needs to convert the procedure, it could mean a long operative time with additional time under anesthesia and increased complications. Temporary pain or discomfort may result from pneumoperitoneum, the presence of air or gas in the abdominal cavity used by surgeons in minimally invasive surgery. Research suggests that there could be an increased risk of incision-site hernia with single-incision surgery. Results, including cosmetic results, may vary. Patients who bleed easily, who have abnormal blood clotting, are pregnant or morbidly obese are typically not candidates for minimally invasive surgery, including da Vinci® Surgery. Other options may be available. Patients should talk to their doctors about their surgical experience and to decide if da Vinci Surgery is right for them. We encourage patients and physicians to review all available information on surgical options and treatment in order to make an informed decision. Clinical studies are available through the National Library of Medicine at www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed. For more complete information on surgical risks, safety, and indications for use, please refer to www.davincisurgery.com.

Thieves in Lehigh Acres targeted a nature preserve and caused over $1,000 damage. We found out your money could be spent to repair it.
The Harns Marsh Preserve is normally where bird enthusiasts and fishermen head to enjoy Mother Nature at her finest.
"It's getting to be a very well known birding spot its on several websites and people come from far to see this," said David Lindsay, with the East County Water District.
But what people don't come to see is vandalism.
"We were hoping that the actions of a few wouldn't spoil it for many," Lindsay said.
"Keep Out" signs now mar the area where preserve visitors were previously welcome to pass through as a shortcut. But that all stopped after some vandals were looking to make a quick buck over the weekend.
"Pulled their vehicle right up here next to the gate and came through with their tools and spent probably two hours removing railing," Lindsay said.
Lindsay thinks the thieves may have sold them to a scrap yard. The cost to repair the damage and replace the equipment is an estimated $1,500. Some of which could come from the county.
"Lee County funds may be used to help rebuild the infrastructure make it more vandal proof until that happens its very little chance this will reopen," said Lindsay.
And with a portion of the marsh potentially permanently closed, Lindsay says he believes it is nature lovers who were truly robbed.
"We expect to hear from them and they're going to be very upset and we really feel for them," Lindsay said.

New Rules for Winter Health/Beauty
Your exercise, health, and beauty routines shouldn't end when winter begins. But you should change your routine to fit the season.
Reviewed By
As the cold winds blow, the sunblock and conditioners go back in the medicine cabinet and we feast instead of exercise, right? Wrong! Your beauty and health routines continue -- but the rules change.
Winter Skin Care
By the time the first leaf falls, it seems like you can scratch your name on your dry skin. "Indoor heating takes the humidity out of the air and we start the scratch-itch cycle on our arms and legs," says Wendy Lewis, New York beauty consultant and author of The Lowdown on Facelifts and Other Wrinkle Remedies. Wool clothing can also leach out moisture and irritate skin. Lewis recommends a lactic acid body lotion called Amlactin, available behind the pharmacist's counter without a prescription (other good over-the-counter goos are Eucerin, Aquaphor, and Vaseline Intensive Care). "If you use lotion," she advises, "you need to use it more often, even every few hours."
Lips, especially, need emollients, Lewis says, recommending products containing shea butter.
And don't forget the sun -- "There's sun even if you're not baking in it," cautions Lewis. You still need sunblock, even in winter. Feet need extra exfoliating to keep heels from cracking. "Put on cream and then wear socks to bed once a week," she counsels. The same goes for hands (with gloves, not socks).
Other tips for cold-weather beauty:
Avoid Adding Winter Weight
Do the math -- people are bundled up in winter, their bodies camouflaged. Cakes, pies, candy, and alcohol are everywhere you go. And you may be inside more, playing Scrabble instead of beach volleyball. In addition, it gets dark earlier in winter -- people get bored or depressed and nibble. Winter was why comfort food was invented!

WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Senate approved a large increase in H-1B visa fees on Thursday to help offset a $600 million "emergency package" to improve security along the Mexican border.
The fee increases, which also affect the L-1 visa, will help pay for 1,000 new border patrol agents and drones or unmanned aircraft, as well as long list of agencies, including prisons.
[ Get sage advice on IT careers and management from Bob Lewis in InfoWorld's Advice Line blog and newsletter. ]
The Senate measure increases the H-1B visa application fees by $2,000 per application on those firms that have 50 percent of their employees on this visa.
This fee increase will have the biggest impact on the large Indian offshore firms, such as Infosys Technologies, Wipro, and Tata Consultancy Services, which use thousands of H-1B visas to service U.S. customers.
Firms such as Microsoft and Google also hire many H-1B visas holders, but they are relatively a smaller fraction of their U.S. workforces.
The legislation, introduced by U.S. Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), and some other Democrats, passed by unanimous consent.
The House also passed a border security funding measure, one that calls for $701 million in spending, but it did not include an H-1B visa fee increase. Both chambers must now reconcile the two versions.
While the Senate's fee increase will also apply to the L-1 visa, it is uncertain whether it would only apply to those firms that are also H-1B dependent. The text of the legislation has not been released.
Another group of H-1B users that may be impacted by this increase are smaller outsourcing firms that dot office parks around the U.S. They include firms such as Logic Planet Inc., a New Jersey company that employs 95 software engineers, developers, and analysts, 89 of whom (93 percent) hold H-1B visas.
Logic Planet disclosed its headcount in court documents as one of the firms, along with the TechServe Alliance, an IT services industry group, which is challenging the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services over its interpretation H-1B rules.
The $2,000 increase may be added to the $320 H-1B filing fee, said Sarah Hawk, who heads the immigration practice at Fisher & Phillips LLP in Atlanta.
An H-1B visa's fees can add up. There are a number of other existing add-on fees as well: a $500 anti-fraud fee that is required for any new H-1B and L-1 visa user, and a fee for training U.S. workers that scales from $750 to $1,500, depending on the size of the company applying for a visa.
Many companies also pay $1,000 extra for what's called premium processing to accelerate handling of the visa. And legal fees can range as high as $2,000.
Hawk said she suspects companies will try to recoup the fee from salaries or see if the individual can pay for it.
Ron Hira, an associate professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology, said the fee is a step in the right direction but doesn't go far enough to deter the "exploitive practices" of the visa program.

The only thing more ridiculous than the Toronto Blue Jays having their top farm club in the Nevada desert?↵
The New York Mets having their top farm club in the Nevada desert. Which is apparently what's going to happen next year, as the International League's Buffalo franchise is probably going to affiliate itself with the Blue Jays next year, which of course makes sense considering that Buffalo's practically in Canada.
Stinks for the Mets, though. Las Vegas is a long way away and a tough place for pitchers.↵

I don't mind players who prefer heavy combat, if they have good motivations for their character, and likewise for those who enjoy plot-heavy scenes. My preference is to get into 4e games as a player. Pathfinder would be a second, though I still much prefer 4e. I'm willing to travel a bit to attend games, up to about 20 miles or so. If I were to try my hand at GMing, I'd like to risk a martial campaign, as I've come to call it. The setting is almost completely devoid of magic, including arcane, divine, primal, psionic, etc.. With the advent of 4e D&D, it seems more viable than ever. Latest Update: Lately, I've been playing around with the development of an ultra lite rules set, geared to provide only the most basic governing for fantasy storytelling. The system is not amazingly unique, and it's very generic, but it vastly simplifies the process of administration. If I could find enough interested players, I would try my hand at running some manner of a campaign. About Me Real Name: Chris Biography: I've probably been gaming for a little over 14 years. My first introduction to D&D was 3rd Edition, playing a rogue. I've been a rather large fan of D&D ever since, and nearly all of the games I try to play in revolve around medieval fantasy and the d20 system.

Climate Change and Sea Level Rise in Hampton Roads
A Forum to Address Concerns, Best Practices and Plans for Adaptation
Troy W. Hartley, Virginia Sea Grant, Virginia Institute of Marine Science. (PI)
Benjamin McFarlane, Hampton Roads Planning District Commission, Chesapeake, VA
C. Ariel Pinto, Engineering Management & Systems Engineering, Old Dominion University
Larry Atkinson, Climate Change and Sea Level Rise Initiative, Old Dominion University
The Hampton Roads Adaptation Forum is a regional dialogue among municipalities committed to adopting effective adaptation designs and plans, tailored to meet the needs of our communities in the face of rising sea levels due to climate change. The Forum will be composed of academic institutions and local, regional, state, and Federal agency officials with authority and responsibility for critical infrastructure and facilities in Hampton Roads (e.g., engineers, planners, facility managers, administrators, etc.). We seek to build a professional network that shares information and adaptation lessons learned through communication and information management.
The Forum will enable the most effective and efficient local government adaptation activities by:
Identifying community-specific best practices in adaptation strategies, technologies, and specifications, and promoting broad adoption for regional compatibility.
Facilitating consistency in data management and sharing to ensure common scientific understanding and foundation for local and regional response.
Establishing targeted, specific adaptation action plans for the priority sub-areas identified in current sea level rise, inundation and flooding assessments.
Facilitating communication and enabling coordination across these priority sub-areas to promote nested sub-systems into the broader local city, metropolitan area, and Hampton Roads regional adaptation planning and response.
Conducting pro-active Federal liaison functions to provide a venue for local-state-Federal dialogue that promotes a comprehensive system-wide response.
Monitoring and sharing information on effectiveness of adoption and implementation of specific adaptation activities to enable adaptive management among Hampton Road municipalities and state and federal agencies.
A knowledge management system based on Basecamp, which is a widely used, web-based project management and collaboration tool, will allow the municipalities and local, state and federal facilities in the Hampton Roads region to fully leverage their intellectual capital (institutional, social, human) in support of climate adaptation implementation objectives. The Basecamp knowledge management system will provide a framework for a comprehensive inventory of the people, processes and enabling technologies directly related to support local climate change and sea level rise adaptation. To gain access to the Basecamp for the Hampton Roads SLR Adaptation Forum project please contact Liz Smith (firstname.lastname@example.com).

DELPHI — For the last several weeks, school board member Gil Smith has made a point of asking parents and kids in Delphi one question: What do you think of a balanced calendar?
"I work out of Indianapolis quite a bit," he said, "and work with an awful lot of parents that have kids on the balanced calendar in the Indianapolis area, and they just go on and on about how they enjoy the calendar."
So Smith brought it up during closing comments at a school board meeting this summer. He asked other board members to get a feel for parents' and teachers' opinions on whether Delphi should consider moving to a school calendar that includes a one- to two-week break between each nine-week period, a two- to three-week Christmas break and a shorter summer break.
Since then, he's talked with at least 45 parents, around 40 of whom have been in favor of the idea. The children he's spoken to are OK with the calendar, too — after he explains that it doesn't mean they get no breaks at all, just different ones.
"I don't think the old traditional calendar is necessarily giving us the outcome that we need," said Smith, when it comes to academic achievement. However, he says he isn't "100 percent sold" on the idea of a balanced calendar, either — little good research exists on whether it really helps children learn more or retain what they've learned, and few schools in the area have done it.
Maconaquah Elementary School in Bunker Hill is the closest school to have moved to a balanced calendar, according to Delphi superintendent Ralph Walker.
Walker said he sees both pros and cons to switching Delphi to a balanced calendar.
While it would give students and teachers a much-needed break to recharge, helping to avoid burnout, it would throw a wrench into current shared-services arrangements.
"That's one of the problems of going to a balanced calendar, we share with other schools," said Walker.
Delphi shares vocational and special education programs with other area school districts, he said, including North Miami schools.
Changing the school calendar so drastically "would cost us at least one vocational program that we would not be able to share with Twin Lakes anymore, and it would just make the special ed programs more difficult," he explained.
"Now of course, our kids could just be on their schedule — we could work around it — but it would make a little bit more difficulty."
On the other hand, it would allow an extra week at the end of each nine-week period for remediation if a student needs it, said Walker.
Smith said some parents had asked him how the school sports schedules would be affected by a balanced calendar.
Families trying to arrange for child care, or teenagers looking for full-time work over the summer, might be frustrated by a balanced calendar, too, suggested Walker.
"We've had feedback on both sides," he said. While board members have said most feedback they got was positive, the eight or so calls Walker has received at the school corporation office have conveyed mostly negative responses.
Board members and the corporation staff will keep polling parents informally until January 2013, when they next expect to discuss the balanced calendar idea. Incoming board members, to be elected next month, will take over the discussion then.
The intervening weeks will also allow other board members to gather more data on how the balanced calendar has worked in other corporations.

In another season, this could have been the Boston Red Sox news everyone was talking about: David Ortiz is on the disabled list with a sore Achilles heel, and he might miss the rest of the season. According to Tom Caron of NESN, Ortiz will get a cortisone shot and a week of treatment before he's reevaluated.
The slugging DH was activated from the DL on Friday, and he went 2-for-4 in his return. But lingering soreness over the weekend kept him out of the lineup. To take his spot on the roster, the Red Sox wil activate Ryan Kalish.
Ortiz is a pending free agent, so there's a chance, albeit unlikely, that Friday's game was the last of his Red Sox career. With the Red Sox continuing to struggle, there probably isn't going to be a tremendous urge to rush Ortiz back out on the field, so at the very least, it's likely that he's played his last game of the season.
Ortiz is currently hitting .318/.415/.611 with 23 homers on the season.

A KCK family is living through the kind of grief no one should ever experience after losing a little girl in a house fire.
Neighbors can still smell the smoke from the charred house in the 4600 block of Greeley Avenue where the 4-year-old was killed in the fire.
Firefighters were called to the one-story home about 4:15 a.m. Sunday. It burned so quickly. Crews tried to keep up, knowing two people had made it out, but the child was still inside.
"My baby is in there," the girl's anguished mother cried as she rushed home from work to find this scene.
Firefighters had to hold her up to keep her from collapsing or running inside.
When they finally managed to get the little girl out, emergency crews rushed to save her, but it was too late.
"When you lose a child, it is a tragedy," the child's aunt, Cynthia Timms, said.
Timms and her husband came by the house after the fire, trying to process what happened.
"She was a real loving little girl. Her daddy would call her, 'booties,' and call her, 'little princess.' She would walk around acting like a little princess," Timms said.
They came straight from the hospital where the child's 7-year-old sister and grandmother, who was home with the girls, both had to be treated.
The surviving sister is still not out of danger.
"She is having it hard, because she has asthma and plus the smoke didn't make it any better. We are trying to make sure that she is fine," Timms said.
A neighbor sat with the older sister through the chaos until an ambulance took her away.
"Just calm her down, just hold her and just be there for her," Timms said.
And the family said that kind of support is what they all need now.
"You are supposed to outlive your kid, but when your kid goes before you do, that really takes a toll on you. I just ask everybody to pray for them," Timms said.
A firefighter suffered second-degree burns to his face while trying to get to the little girl and rescue her.
The family said they believe the fire started in the kitchen, but the cause is still under investigation.
Firefighters said the house had no working smoking detectors.

- The most common cause is a build-up of fatty substances along an artery's inner lining that causes it to narrow, reduces its elasticity, and decreases its blood flow.
- A clot forms in an artery supplying the brain, usually one affected by atherosclerosis . This clot is called a thrombus.
- Blockage can also be caused by a blood clot from another part of the body (often the heart) that breaks free. The clot travels to and becomes lodged in an artery supplying the brain. This clot is called an embolus, and the process is called embolism.

Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Spa and Dylan Hotel have been working with Trinity Purchasing for the past 4 years. During this time they have assisted us in achieving substantial savings in both hotels. They continually work with us and for us to ensure we receive the savings promised and have access to the most competitive prices in the market. Their pricing is always current and their vast experience in the hospitality industry gives me great confidence in the services they provide.
Deirdre Mulholland, Financial Controller
Dunboyne Castle Hotel and Spa
Dylan Hotel
Right from the start, PREM Group impressed us with their efficient, professional manner - an approach that not only inspired confidence, but generated the results we were looking for. We needed to create a new website in addition to revenue management services. By partnering with PREM Group we have been able to maximise our selling opportunities in the market place.
Because of their years of experience they understand the industry. From their state of the art technical expertise to their helpful, knowledgeable, friendly team our experience with PREM Group confirms to us that we've partnered with true leaders in the tourism industry.
Mailo Power, Director
Athenaeum House Hotel, Waterford
"I have been working with Trinity Purchasing and Peter Flood for the last year and have found it beneficial to the Hotel. We have achieved fantastic savings in the process without affecting the quality of the produce the Hotel purchases.
Trinity Purchasing take an a la carte approach to the Hotel which is a big benefit as we are tied to a number of existing contracts: it is not a case of an all or nothing approach.
The Hotel has reaped the benefits of being part of a block with in excess of 70 properties. We have been helped by the purchasing audits from Trinity which highlight areas we can improve our purchasing power.
I would highly recommend working with Trinity Purchasing. They are a great safety net to ensure The Limerick Strand has the best possible purchasing power in the market place."
Sean Lally, General Manager
The Ashbourne Marriott have partnered with PREM Group Purchasing since 2008. The partnership with PREM Group has given us a competitive edge in terms of purchasing. Being a standalone hotel, we would not have the bargaining position we do with the assistance of PREM Group Purchasing. We have seen cost reduction in several areas of the hotel operation such as Food, Beverage but also in Energy prices & maintenance contracts. I would recommend working with PREM group to any standalone hotel or small group of hotels to improve competitiveness over the industry average. The PREM Group is a more than welcome addition to our business and a bit of relief to work with in current times. We look forward to a continued partnership with PREM in the future.
Niek Gorter, Director of Finance
The Corsendonkhotels have partnered with Trinity Purchasing Benelux group purchasing scheme since 2008.
A lot of cost savings in all areas (food & beverage, laundry, linen, commissions, leasing...) were reached because of this collaboration.
Still more opportunities we'll exploit in the future.
Providing quality in the hospitality industry is very important. Also due to our partnership we can continue to ensure quality without exceeding budgets. Because of centralization of purchase we keep out vendors in our hotels and this certainly increased the productivity of our employees. In our opinion our partnership just started and recommends working with "PREM Group Purchase" to standalone hotels or small chains.
The more power in purchase, the better the purchase conditions, the higher the service and quality we can deliver.
Tom Dresselaers Operations & Finance Manager
As an independent establishment, we identified the need, particularly in the times we are in , to forge a relationship with a larger presence in the marketplace. What we enjoy about our association with PREM is that we can have all of the benefits of being part of a larger group but that we can also very much maintain our individual identity.
We have found their support and expertise in developing our marketing approach to be extremely helpful. We like the fact that because of their involvement in many types of properties and markets that we can avail of their vast experience across a wide marketing mix. We have found PREM to be at the cutting edge of development in terms of online business development, corporate sales and groups.
We are very pleased with the level of business that we have received and we continue to strengthen our relationship as we develop new markets and strategies together. We are delighted with our decision to have partnered with PREM.
Elaine Brennan, General Manager

Please, how can i shortly say "a friend" to differentiate gender of the person?
E.g. "I met my friend." and i want to say that the friend was a girl.
(I don't mean boy/girlfriend.)
Thank you,

Oh, only sometimes?

Head-to-Knee Forward Bend
Janu Sirsasana
(JAH-new shear-SHAHS-anna)
janu = knee
sirsa = head
Step by Step
Sit on the floor with your buttocks lifted on a folded blanket and your legs straight in front of you. Inhale, bend your right knee, and draw the heel back toward your perineum. Rest your right foot sole lightly against your inner left thigh, and lay the outer right leg on the floor, with the shin at a right angle to the left leg (if your right knee doesn't rest comfortably on the floor, support it with a folded blanket).
Press your right hand against the inner right groin, where the thigh joins the pelvis, and your left hand on the floor beside the hip. Exhale and turn the torso slightly to the left, lifting the torso as you push down on and ground the inner right thigh. Line up your navel with the middle of the left thigh. You can just stay here, using a strap to help you lengthen the spine evenly, grounding through the sitting bones.
Or, when you are ready, you can drop the strap and reach out with your right hand to take the inner left foot, thumb on the sole. Inhale and lift the front torso, pressing the top of the left thigh into the floor and extending actively through the left heel. Use the pressure of the left hand on the floor to increase the twist to the left. Then reach your left hand to the outside of the foot. With the arms fully extended, lengthen the front torso from the pubis to the top of the sternum.
Exhale and extend forward from the groins, not the hips. Be sure not to pull yourself forcefully into the forward bend, hunching the back and shortening the front torso. As you descend, bend your elbows out to the sides and lift them away from the floor.
Lengthen forward into a comfortable stretch. The lower belly should touch the thighs first, the head last. Stay in the pose anywhere from 1 to 3 minutes. Come up with an inhalation and repeat the instructions with the legs reversed for the same length of time.
Anatomical Focus
Therapeutic Applications
- Calms the brain and helps relieve mild depression
- Stretches the spine, shoulders, hamstrings, and groins
- Stimulates the liver and kidneys
- Improves digestion
- Helps relieve the symptoms of menopause
- Relieves anxiety, fatigue, headache, menstrual discomfort
- Therapeutic for high blood pressure, insomnia, and sinusitis
- Strengthens the back muscles during pregnancy (up to second trimester), done without coming forward, keeping your back spine concave and front torso long.

The Georgia Bulldogs claimed the SEC East crown with a 38-0 victory over the Auburn Tigers on the Plains in the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry. It was kind of a good night to be a Georgia fan.
Do you dream of bathing in an unending wave of college football goodness? Do you ever feel like you just see too much of your girlfriend, the sun or your Jack Russell, Bo? If so, do we have...
The 2005 film adaptation of "The Dukes of Hazzard" starring Seann William Scott, Johnny Knoxville, Jessica Simpson, Willie Nelson, and Burt Reynolds is the greatest movie ever made. No, seriously.
An exciting yet ultimately uneventful weekend of college football in the Southeastern Conference gave Dawg Sports few reasons to rank the teams differently in this week's SEC Power Poll.
