Rael Isacowitz is one of the great Pilates master instructors of our day. Through his teaching, writing, and DVDs he has inspired Pilates instructors and enthusiasts all over the world, myself included. I was thrilled to interview him for these pages.
Despite sharing with me that he had been working since 4:30 in the morning, and it was 5pm, Rael tirelessly answered each question with grace and passion. We talked about him and how he developed his style, along with everything from launching beginners and mentoring instructors, to men in Pilates, the specialization of Pilates, equipment, and more. I hope that you will be touched by the magic of "Rael Pilates" as you read this interview.
Who and/or what have been the biggest influences on the development of your Pilates style as you have evolved it?
I always credit Kathy Grant with being my greatest influence. I've had the pleasure of working with most the first generation teachers, but Kathy and I have had a very special connection for the past 20 years. She has been my guide and mentor in Pilates.
Also, swimming, yoga, dance instilled a tremendous passion in me for movement and art, and a reverence for the human body. I'd like to add that probably my students and clients have taught me the most.
What would you say makes Rael Pilates unique?
First and foremost I have to say the strong passion, the soul, the spirit. I've been fortunate to attract amazing people to work around me and that has furthered the passion, and it is that passion that has attracted the people I work with. It is an ongoing cycle.
Then, the approach itself is unique. It is an amalgamation of art and science. I'll expand on that later, but that's a very unique part of my style - art and science working synergistically together. There is always a sense of art in the work, and always a basis of science.
Finally, there is a tremendous focus on precision and quality. I know that many people say: Well, precision, that's one of the principles of Pilates. And it is one of the principles, but I am just not sure how seriously they take it. Maybe by nature I am an insufferable perfectionist and that is why precision is very important to me.
Joseph Pilates described his method as the complete coordination of body, mind, and spirit. But we don't hear very much about spirit. Could you expand a little bit about how you see the role of spirit in Pilates?
That is a really interesting question and a difficult one. When speaking of the body, that's an easy level to address because it's the most tangible. That is the exercise part of Pilates, but in a way, the least potent. As we go deeper we get to the mind. To me, what the mind is about is the principles - awareness, breath, balance, control, center, concentration, efficiency, flow, precision, and harmony. You cannot do this work mindlessly. It's mind/body all the time.
The spirit is the quality that we breathe into the principles. If we concentrate and perform the movements with precision it doesn't mean that it has a spirit to it. It is naturally quite mechanical - you are concentrating and going from point A to point B. The spirit is where we inject the quality, the personality, the dynamic, the color - and really, the heart. It's individual and it's certainly not a religion. When I speak of spiritual it is more the depth that I go into, and giving each movement a very distinct quality and character. That is the spirit of the work.

This was pretty damn good.
I'd like to hear him talk like that every day.
The sad fact is that while those of us who follow politics closely ground every detail about Obama into dust over the last six months or so the great mass of Americans only know that he is the black guy who is running for president.
The country needs to meet and become acquainted with the Senator Obama in this video.

Federal investigators released a preliminary report for the plane that killed two people after it crashed in downtown Collinsville earlier this month.
National Transportation Safety Board authorities were in Collinsville following the crash around back on April 7. At the scene a small plane headed to Manhattan Regional Airport had crashed into a vacant home and killed two people, later identified as a retired doctor and a Kansas State University fundraiser.
According to the NTSB report filed this week, investigators have yet to determined what exactly caused the plane to crash into the town just northeast of Tulsa. Their investigation is still ongoing and a final report is expected to be released.
Investigators canvassed the scene and found that the plane's impact left an approximately 4 feet deep and 10 feet in diameter crater. At the scene they also found the plane's engine and part of a propeller blade was visible in the crater, along with another wing nearby.
"A postcrash fire consumed part of the fuselage and rear stabilizer," according to the report. It went on to describe several other parts of the plane found around the wreckage site.
While it hasn't been determined what exactly caused the plane to crash, officials determined that communications with the Tulsa airport tower were normal. No emergency or distress calls were received from the pilot during the flight.
"The airplane reached 4,100 feet before a descending, right turn on the radar was observed. During the turn, the airplane disappeared from the radar."
A previous report from KTUL identified the retired doctor as Ronald Marshall, a 71-year-old from Manhattan, Kansas. His passenger was 40-year-old Chris Gruber, the Director of Development for Kansas State University's Veterinarian Medicine School.
Gruber tweeted a picture of his "ride to Tulsa" the morning before the wreck. Kansas State University said Gruber had worked for the Foundation more than 8 years and was not traveling on university business, while Omaha media reported the men were in Tulsa for a gun show

There were two Colorado girl state championship streaks ended yesterday, March 3rd. Oddly both schools are located in Broomfield. At the Colorado School of Mines
Broomfield HIgh School, winner of five straight Class 4A Championships lost to the Air Academy. Broomfield was not the overwhelming favorite in 4A this year, but were one of several favorites. Unfortunately their chances ended during a Friday non contact practice when star PG Britteny Zec shredded a knee
Holy Family's streak of four straight 3A state championships (and my favorite to win a fifth) also ended yesterday and is inexplicable. The winner of the Metro League tournament does not lose to a second place team from the western division of the Tri Peaks league. Except it did happen with Holy Family losing at home by three to 17th seeded Florence High School. When I get some details, I will pass them on.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – Working together to stop crimes. That's the message from Louisville Metro Police officers in the Fourth Division.
The Fourth Division is the only division in the city to spear head a violent crime reduction walk. They were out in the Oakdale neighborhood on Tuesday in hopes of raising awareness and getting others to join in. Residents, concerned citizen, and city leaders hit the streets.
"I think it is a great way for the neighborhoods to get back out, take back our neighborhoods, and show there is a positive relationship with the police department," said Councilwoman Marianne Butler (District 15).
They're all joining Fourth Division officers as they kick off the 90 Days and 90 Nights Team Street Safe program.
"We're tired of the violence and we're tired of the crimes," said Major Kim Kraeszig, commander of the Fourth Division. "A lot of people work so hard everyday for the things that they own and they want to feel safe in their homes."
Kraeszig said the program is in its second year.
"We can't put officers on every street corner, but we have residents everywhere," said Kraeszig.
The goal is to form a strong relationship with neighbors and let them know they can call and report any suspicious activity.
"It's really nice to let the community know how much we really care that it is not just a job," Kraeszig said. "We're here because we want to reduce crimes and we want to make their neighborhoods safe."
Oakdale neighborhood president Barbara Devereaux rolled through this year's walk because of a pending a knee surgery, even that didn't stop her from getting involved.
"If people see, people out walking, they are more aware that 'hey, they're not going to keep their mouths shut if they see things that are really wrong, they will call the police and report it," said Devereaux.
Also among the crowd on Tuesday was 9-year-old Erica Hughes. At the age of two, Erica was shot multiple times and left for dead in a home invasion. Hughes' mother was fatally wounded. Now this brave girl has a message to anybody who turns to violence.
"I want to tell them that I've been through all this and I just want to tell you to stop doing what you are doing," said Hughes.
Kraeszig believes this type of community involvement works. In the last two years Kraeszig said crime in her division has gone down 16%. Right now they have six more walks planned in the next few months.

Symptoms of an impending heart attack for women aren't always as predictable as the heart attack symptoms experienced by men. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), less than 33% of women studied reported having chest pain or discomfort prior to a heart attack, and nearly 50% of the women studied indicated that they experienced no chest pain during an actual heart attack.
Heart attacks are the number-one killer of both women and men - so, knowing the warning signs and symptoms of a heart attack are paramount to getting quick intervention and treatment - which greatly enhances you and your loved ones' chances of survival and recovery. Women often experience new or different physical symptoms than the classic symptoms of a heart attack, as long as a month or more before experiencing a heart attack.
Women's heart attack symptoms can include:
Heart attacks don't always begin with sudden,debilitating pain. Many start slowly as mild pain ordiscomfort. Major symptoms women experienceduring an actual heart attack can include:
Despite these findings, many doctors still consider chest pain as the most important and telling symptom of a heart attack in both women and men. However, more than two-thirds of the women having heart attacks didn't experience chest pain, so it's important to be aware of other symptoms.
It's increasingly evident that a woman's symptoms aren't as predictable as a man's. Women should discuss their risk for a heart attack and any unusual symptoms with their doctor.
Don't miss the early signs of a heart attack. For more information on women and heart disease, talk to your health care professional; or visit your hospital's website or www.americanheart.org or www.nih.gov.

Scottsbluff City Council has a new candidate entering the race.
Jordan Colwell is a registered nurse and currently
serves as the Director of Accreditation at Regional West Medical Center.
The panhandle native is also a First Lieutenant and flight
nurse for the 34th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron of the United States Air Force Reserve.
Colwell is active in a number
of groups throughout the community including Leadership Scottsbluff, Knights
of Columbus, and
the Teammates Mentoring Program.
Colwell says he's always wanted to work in community service and has a lot of ideas pertaining to community improvement if elected.
"People always talk about economic development and we live in
rural Nebraska," says Colwell. "So we really need to work on collaboration
amongst all the cities, towns, villages... Because we're it. And we continue to decline in population and recruitment
and retention is very important to people in the panhandle."
Colwell says he'd also like to see more emphasis put on recreational activities in the area.
"We need to get people moving. Get people outdoors. We have the landscape for it."
Colwell was born and raised in Alliance, Nebraska and is married to Tiann Colwell, originally of North Platte.

1. The Most Intense Taekwondo Fight Ever
Toddler Taekwondo is my new favorite thing in life, ever.

This is not your grandmother's Christmas Carol…Oh wait. It is.
What started as a way to save money on postage has become an Internet-wide anticipated event. I'm partial to last year's stop-motion video, but this year's card from the Fosters also packs a lot of cheer.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
All you holistic healers and aromatherapists out there who've endured nay-saying and other derision—today, vindication is yours. A new Japanese study has proven that fragrant oils really do decrease stress levels, reports Cosmetics Business. Researchers from the University of Tokyo found that linalool, a chemical compound found in teas, oranges, tomatoes, and basil, decreased stress by returning elevated levels of neutrophils and lymphocytes, key parts of the immune system, to near-normal levels. For anyone who has ever taken a deep sniff of a handful of lavender and felt themselves levitate ever so slightly, these findings will not come as too much of a surprise. For the doubters among you, sorry to disappoint.

A false bomb threat was called in to a Carroll Gardens elementary school Thursday morning, according to multiple reports. But the principal and staff swiftly responded to the prank, executing an evacuation under the guise of a fire drill.
Parents began reporting and tweeting that a "terse" e-mail had been sent out from administrators around midday, stating that PS 58, The Carroll School, had to evacuate students. NYPD emergency services were then brought in to investigate the building with the help of sanitation staff.
According to the The South Brooklyn Post, the prankster called twice: Once to threaten the school, and the second time to admit it was a hoax. After a thorough sweep, the threat was confirmed to be a prank and children were allowed back in the building.
"We are diligently investigating the incident," said Police Captain Jeffrey Schiff of the 76th Precinct. "It was likely a child who made the prank calls. We are confident that we will identify the prankster."
The school principal and staff handled the incident excellently, added Schiff.
"The school evacuation was done under the pretense of a fire drill in order to facilitate the quick and safe removal of all the occupants, which was accomplished successfully," he said.
On Wednesday a bomb threat was also called in to Brooklyn Tech. Whether the two incidents are related has yet to be determined.

|There's a stray dog in my street, can someone collect it?
|The Clean Neighbourhoods and Environment Act 2007, places full responsibility with your local authority for dealing with stray dogs and associated stray dog services.
DEFRA have useful guidance notes outlining local authority responsibilities for stray dogs.
Please contact your local authority to arrange for the dog warden to collect the dog.

The RSPCA and other animal welfare charities cannot pick up stray dogs or accept them from people who find them and will direct those people to their local authority. In fact we can only deal with a stray dog in an absolute emergency, ie. if the dog is in imminent danger of death or severe suffering and neither the police nor local authority is able to attend.
The RSPCA continues to promote responsible dog ownership initiatives to local authorities to seek to reduce the amount of stray dogs particularly through joint education, micro-chipping and neutering initiatives with local authorities and other animal welfare organisations.

Wednesday night, Darcie Riggle from Jacksonville, Florida pulled into the Quick Change on Highway 84 in Homerville, and waved down police.
She told them she felt like she was going to pass out, and she said officers may want to go to her house in Jacksonville, Florida, because she thought she shot and killed her husband.
Homerville Police Chief Mark Register says his officer was in the process of pulling her over when she stopped her car and approached the officer.
A man's body was found shot to death in Jacksonville, and detectives from Florida went to Homerville to interview Riggle.
Jacksonville authorities are taking her to Florida, and left the Clinch County jail with her about 1:00PM. They are charging her with the murder of her husband.

The Humane Society for Boone County came out on top in an online battle held by the Community Foundation of Boone County. With 497 Facebook "likes," the not-for-profit organization won a $1,000 grant from the foundation.
The community foundation began the contest in late December. Fifteen local not-for-profit organizations submitted a photo and a story summarizing why they should receive the grant, and the foundation posted them all on their Facebook page. The photo with the most "likes" by Jan. 5 was to be the winner.
In second place was 91.9 FM WITT with 429 "likes," and the Zionsville Education Foundation was third with 238 "likes." There were 1,931 votes cast for the 15 organizations.
The Humane Society came out in front early, but Board President Mike Hancock said he saw their lead slip for a little while to 91.9 FM WITT.
"I think just about everyone on the board has been following along on the page, watching the votes," he said. "We saw a couple days ago we were down, so we reached out to a bigger audience."
Hancock said board members asked people involved with dog rescue organizations in Indianapolis to get online and "like" them. Each person can only vote, or "like" a photo, once, so the organizations had to share their photos and information to get the word out to more people. In that way, it was as much an awareness campaign than it was a contest, said Jen Pendleton, executive director of the community foundation.

This is a good product that I have been using for years. Trouble is that the local pet chains do not carry the 20lb boxes and will not order them. I am glad that I found pet food direct. I received the product in a timley manner, even using ground transportation.

Comments about Iams ProActive Health Dog Biscuits:
My dogs love these snacks but I have to use a mallet to break them up. If outside, I stomp on them with my heel to try to break them into small enough pieces. They are too hard to break with my fingers so I resort to hammers, heel or a rock to smash them. If my dogs didn't love them, I wouldn't bother.

Does anyone know how to change the pricing to US dollars?
To change the price you have to go on jigoshop settings (in wordpress dashboard, left side menu) and there you will have "Catalog & Pricing".

"We have Jasika Nicole (Fringe's Astrid) guest starring on ep 219 of @ScandalABC. Which makes me go totally fan-girl with excitement!"
She didn't give any further details on what role exactly Jasika will play, but did add that it'll be "very surprising." Episode 219 suggests season 2, episode 19.
Tonight's episode of Scandal will be another repeat (sorry fans! what ever will you do?). The show returns with all-new episodes to wrap up the season, next week, March 21.
ALM | March 17, 2013 10:22 PM
Oooh, I hope the role is meaty and juicy, because "Scandal" usually only brings meaty and juicy. Her role on "Fringe" was often passive, so I would love to see her stretch her acting chops on "Scandal".
CC | March 14, 2013 1:42 PM
I just so happen to have a sneak peek at episode 219. To get the full flavor, I'll start with the set-up.
Mellie (the president's wife) is supposedly out of town promoting one of her pet projects. We see an interior shot of a door leading to the President's private chamber. It's noted that this area is only accessible to the president and his family. As the door opens we hear the voices of Fritz and Olivia Pope. But who is the person walking up the stairs?
When the mysterious person reaches the top of the stairwell, we get our first look at a stunned president and his mistress, tightly embraced in each others arms.
Shocked president: "What are you doing here!?"
Melinda (Jasika Nicole): "I'll ask the questions. So this is how you've been spending your free time"
Olivia Pope: "NO-NO, I still love you... this...this...this just happened"
Stunned Fritz: "WHAT?! You too... she's your lover too"?
Olivia: "NO Melinda, tell me it's not true. Tell me you haven't been sleeping with me AND my man?!"
**The door opens again. In walks the president's wife **
Mellie Grant: "Well well well, why wasn't I invited to the party, but I do have a key"
Olivia: "Mellie, let me explain"
Mellie "Shut up bitch, you don't have to explain a damn thing to me"
Fritz: "But baby!"
Mellie: "but baby my ass. Did you think I didn't know about ALL the things you do in the dark? In fact..."
**Mellie gives Melinda an admiring look. They give each other a tender kiss on the lips, hold hands, turn and walk away**
They stop, Melinda looks over her shoulder and says: "You didn't think you were the only ones who loved sweet brown sugar, on the side, did you?"
Fritz and Olivia in unison... shock waves running through their voice: "NOOOOOOOO!!!" [Fade to Black]

A day after Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney and his newly announced running mate, Paul Ryan, left North Carolina, Durham Mayor Bill Bell made it clear that there is no room for Romney's politics in the state.
"We look forward to finishing (our) journey in November by keeping North Carolina blue," he told a cheering crowd at the Durham Armory.
There was room—and plenty of enthusiasm—for Vice President Joe Biden.
Biden spoke in downtown Durham Monday afternoon as part of President Barack Obama's national campaign; meanwhile, Obama spent the day in Iowa as did Romney and Ryan.

Though this is a bit of a reach, it makes a little sense to take a look at the picks the Hawks traded away in this year's draft as well to get a better look at the "draft class" as a whole. You've all seen who the Hawks chose and though there was a bit of disappointment in the air at the lack of any big names, I think most of us have accepted that you can't solve every problem in one draft. We didn't get our QB of the Future. We didn't help ourselves much on the defensive line. We still have a lot of holes on both offense and defense. However, if you factor in the picks Seattle gave up for players last season, the class starts looking a little different.
To really grasp the work the Hawks did with this year's actual draft stock, I've added in the players we acquired for 2011 NFL Draft picks:
25. James Carpenter, tackle, Alabama.
75. John Moffitt, guard, Wisconsin.
89. Charlie Whitehurst, quarterback, Clemson
99. K.J. Wright, linebacker, Mississippi State.
107. Kris Durham, wide receiver, Georgia.
122. Marshawn Lynch, running back, Cal
154. Richard Sherman, defensive back, Stanford.
156. Mark LeGree, safety, Appalachian State.
173. Byron Maxwell, special teamer, Clemson.
190. Kentwan Balmar, defensive tackle/defensive end, North Carolina
205. Lazarius Levingston, defensive tackle/defensive end, LSU.
227. Stacey Andrews, right tackle, Mississippi
242. Malcolm Smith, linebacker, USC.
Because I believe this is exactly the way the Seahawks view this thing, it sort of does change your perspective a bit on the class as a whole. We picked up a quarterback, Charlie Whitehurst, in the third round, that has a '50-50' chance of starting for the Hawks this year and at worst is a guy that can come in and manage your offense if your starter goes down. In the 4th round, we got our feature running back that has a chance to rush for over 1000 yards in 2011 in Marshawn Lynch. In the 6th round, we picked up depth on the defensive line in Kentwan Balmer - a guy that can play at several spots along the line and at one point was considered talented enough to warrant a 1st round pick. In the 7th round, we got a starting caliber right tackle in Stacy Andrews - who could provide good depth at tackle if kept on for 2011. Though many people see him being dropped now that James Carpenter is in town, perhaps John Schneider can work his contract renegotiating skills and keep him around to compete for the job. It never hurts to have quality depth on the offensive line, especially at tackle.
When you take a step back and look at the draft class this way, it starts to make a little more sense. Pete Carroll and John Schneider are just now starting year two of their stewardship of the Seahawks, and the full picture of their vision is still coming together. Though it may be a bit of revisionist's history, when you're being literal with the term 'draft stock' as it pertains to a class - this is how the Seahawks' 2011 NFL Draft went.

Police arrested a man after he posed as a Craigslist buyer and allegedly exposed himself to a woman in a Florence parking lot.
Reginald Swopes Jr., 18 of Muscle Shoals, was arrested Wednesday morning after officers observed him exposing himself to a woman that he had contacted about a Craigslist ad.
According to police, Swopes sent the woman text messages about buying a dress for his sister but didn't seem interested in purchasing it.
"As the text messages continued to be exchanged about determining a location or a meeting place they became somewhat uncomfortable for the female that was involved," said Detective Brad Holmes of Florence Police.
The victim told her husband, a Florence police officer about the text messages and they agreed to let her meet with her potential buyer.
When the woman arrived with officers, Swopes allegedly exposed himself.
"He was actually unclothed from the waist down," Holmes said. "The intent of the young man arrested is not to purchase the items but to inflict this type of self gratification upon them. He did eventually exit his vehicle and was seen in public view without anything, no clothing on him. It's a sad situation."
Swopes was arrested for a similar offense in March. He was taken into custody Wednesday without incident and charged with indecent exposure and public lewdness. Additional charges are pending in this case and in Colbert County.
He is currently being held in the Lauderdale County Detention Center.
Police encourage other potential victims to come forward by contacting their local law enforcement.

Overhung and short. Jugs most of the way up. Moves surrounding the last bolt are slightly desperate.
Left-most line on the west-facing Hard Rock wall.
Wow, how many people have not gotten off the ground on this one. Can a route be polished to a new letter grade? If the bottom gives you fits, try Juggernaut.
i noticed a bolt line above suicide blonde that looked good! Does anybody know what the route is named or rated ??
I think you're referring to Beehive. It's like a .12b or something. Here is a photo of the route I think you're referring to : www.mountainproject.com/v/utah/wasatch_range/american_fork_c>>>
My buddy led this route and then I top roped it. I fell at the crux, but then sent it. I want to work it on lead. The Longer moves with positive holds really got me stoked. Hope to redpoint soon.
Hardest 5.11b I've ever tried. VERY polished. I agree with D. Durrant on maybe it's time to bump the grade up. Took several tries and I was still pumped out of my brains when I finally did it. "Eight to Eleven" is very easy by comparison.
classic route. i didnt think the polish made it much harder at all, when compared to baghdad at the division wall i would say it falls right in the middle of the grade.
I think it's correct at .11b. The start has a crappy foot or two, but this is AF after all. Uninspiring black foot nubbins abound, and the climbs are generally solid at their grade. I thought juggernaut seemed harder for what it's worth. (From the one time I've been on each route.)
Finally went back for the redpoint on this one. Got it after working out a few moves. Excellent route.
This is an AF classic. I didn't feel that Suicide Blonde was all that hard, and in fact the feet didn't feel as polished as I expected from all the comments. A tough onsight. The trick to Suicide Blonde is being able to distinguish the good holds for the overabundance of pockets and crimps on the route. Once you've dialed your sequence than it's ridiculously easy.
yeah I defiantly agree with bad sock p. I would say the rating went down after learning the right beta. defiantly a classic!
All my friends are shorter and they always stacked a rock boost on the ground to get to the 1st jug. I flashed Juggernaut, but Suicide Blonde took me about a dozen tries. I kept falling after the steep part on the easier face above because I was so pumped or so glad to be done with the boulder problem below that I lost my concentration.
Onsighted this with a a jump start. It is polished which makes a difference, however I think which holds I chose and which I didn't made it sendable the first time. I could see choosing some of the other chalked up holds and loosing it. I agree with whoever said that this was harder than eight to eleven. With all the polish, 8 to 11 is a better climb. (just skip going to the 3rd rusty chains)
Great route!
The second pitch is 12a or b and excellent. It's not Beehive's second pitch.
Second pitch is Dreadlocks- 12c
probably the most fun I've had to start a route
Super soft. Again giant holds with good feet. I've climbed 10b's that are harder than this.
This is one of the best routs ive been on. I had to stack a couple rocks to reach the starting holds, but after that its a great series of solid holds and moves.

There was an interesting quote from Robinho in a Globo article published today. I always assumed that he blew us off for Man City. I suppose he might have, but this is nice:
'Sou Chelsea desde pequeno, vou torcer por eles. Eu quase joguei no Chelsea, quando o Felipão era técnico deles, por isso tenho um carinho enorme. Comprei até camisa. Tomara que ganhem de 5 a 0."
This translates to "I've been a Chelsea fan since I was little, and I am going to pull for them. I almost played there when Scolari was their manager, and because of this I have a great deal of affection for them. I bought their shirt. Hopefully they'll win 5-0."

Lynchburg - Today's high school Team of the Week is E.C. Glass boys soccer. The Hilltoppers stayed perfect in the Seminole District Tuesday night, improving to 8-and-0 with a 1-0 win over big rival Jefferson Forest. Michael Kenny scored the only goal of the game in the sixth minute off an assist from Sam Bradford. Glass is now in the driver's seat with a two-and-a-half game lead in the Seminole. The Hilltoppers can clinch the regular season title by winning two of their final four district games.
Sam Bradford, E.C. GLASS SENIOR CENTER BACK, said "We want to be undefeated regular season champs, we're shooting to win all four of the next four. But yea, being regular season champs, I don't know if Glass has ever done that."

Would you want cameras on YOU all day at work?
on Oct 12, 2010 at 10:39 am
Seriously! What an AWFUL idea!! If you are so concerned with what is going on in the classroom, drive down to your nearest school, get a visitors pass, and sit your butt in the classroom and take a look for yourself!Most teachers I know would gladly accept a visitor in their classroom because they have nothing to hide!
on Oct 13, 2010 at 1:24 am
The sad thing is most schools go after the teachers for this kind of behavior. However where are the parents when it comes to their kids doing homework and studying. I have taught both high school and college courses. Students come to college class without doing homework and not taking notes. When they fail they want extra credit. What are we teaching these kids? I am sorry but profanity is unprofessional but how much do we expect someone to take before kids and parents need to share the blame.
In the real world you do not get as many chances as schools have to give kids now. Since when is education a right? I left the education system because I hated getting blamed for not motivating my students enough to do their homework and things such as that. I viewed it as you get a zero on that assignment and fail the course. I don't have to push the issue further. Why should I spend my free time calling kids parents? Why aren't they calling schools more? I disagree with swearing at kids or yelling at them like that, however the attitude of parents and schools need to change because these kids cannot handle college.
on Oct 13, 2010 at 4:57 pm
i think it's a good idea. but why do we have cameras on bananas in the first place? what about the oranges? no, i'm just kidding...but what do you have to hide? there are fights that go on at school, and cameras would sure clear up the "he did this", "i didn't do that" arguments. and even prevent them also.
on Oct 13, 2010 at 11:52 pm
I always thought it would be a reasonable thing to have cameras in the classroom to hold the students and the teachers accountable. Police officers have cameras in their vehicles and, while they probably didn't like it too much initially, it certainly has helped them defend themselves in situations where they are accused of doing something wrong.
I would have liked to have seen how my kids behaved in class and I would have loved to see whether the stories they came home with about their teachers (throwing things, yelling???) were accurate.

Ways and Means: Press Passes
When candidates get a free ride, the public pays
by Carl Pope
The presidential primary season is effectively over. Environmentally, it wasn't very
illuminating, and the pundits will doubtless soon conclude that the environment really
wasn't part of the national debate.
But was it because the voters don't care about the environment or because the national
press corps doesn't think it's worth pursuing? The candidates themselves are skilled at
bobbing and weaving in response to pointed questions, but the media regularly oblige them
by neglecting to ask the critical follow-up.
John McCain, for example, made a fetish of being available to the media, but tended to
dismiss the more complicated questions with a wisecrack. Al Gore would stay up till the
wee hours addressing every last point with staccato lists of government programs. Neither
Bill Bradley's abruptness nor George W. Bush's rapid resort to his last canned speech
provided much enlightenment either.
When asked, for example, why the air in Houston is now dirtier than in Los Angeles,
Bush blamed inadequate federal regulation of cars and fuels. No one ever asked the obvious
follow-ups: "So why were your own state lobbyists working to reduce the EPA's
authority to clean up the air?" or "Will you now support raising corporate
average fuel economy standards?"
Bush got points for conceding (unlike his supporters in the Senate) that global warming
is a real problem. But when he joined the know-nothings in opposing the Kyoto treaty,
which obligates the industrial nations to do something about it, no one in the press
asked, "If you don't like Kyoto, what would you put in its place?"
McCain told Republicans that they needed to burnish their environmental credentials. He
was surprised to find how important the environment was to young people, he said, and
suggested that the environment could be the sleeper issue in the campaign.
But sadly, reporters never thought to ask the obvious: "Why then, Senator, if this
issue is so important to you, did your environmental voting record slump to zero in 1998?
Were environmentalists really wrong about every single bill that came to the Senate floor
in 1998?"
In New Hampshire, McCain got off his "Straight Talk Express" and tried to
have it both ways on the role of the federal government. He blasted the Clinton
administration for not canceling offshore-oil leases in California, and then attacked the
president for declaring new national monuments. "The idea that Washington knows best
and that local residents cannot be trusted to do what's right in their own backyard is the
epitome of federal arrogance," McCain said.
No reporter asked McCain why this concern hadn't stopped him from voting repeatedly to
maintain provisions in the 1872 Mining Law that freeze local people out of decision-making
on new mining operations on federal lands in their communities. Nor was McCain called on
his vote to force a poorly tested nuclear-waste dump at Yucca Mountain on the uniformly
opposed citizens of Nevada.
Instead, the media allowed McCain to assume the mantle of Teddy Roosevelt, even as he
opposed Roosevelt-s greatest environmental legacy--the concept that the American people,
who own the public lands, are all stakeholders, with an equal say in their protection and
On the Democratic side, Bill Bradley compiled a commendable voting record in the
Senate. During that time, he worked hard to master public-lands issues, especially the
problems facing the national parks and the complex environmental ramifications of
California's major waterworks, the Central Valley Project.
Even so, in the crucial New Hampshire primary he came out against applying the
president's initiative to preserve roadless forests in Vermont's White Mountain National
Forest. Bradley had staked his candidacy on his refusal to pander, yet no one in the media
asked, "Doesn't the way you're handling the White Mountain issue make it look like
you're coddling New Hampshire voters?"
While Bradley is a strong supporter of NAFTA and the WTO, he also argued that they need
reforms to safeguard environmental and public-health protections. Yet in Iowa, when asked
about the regulation of genetically engineered foods, Bradley said, "I think we have
to continue to push, under the remedies that are available to us under the World Trade
Organization, to get access to markets for our agricultural goods." Sadly, reporters
never pursued the issue by asking, "Does your vision of a world trade system respect
the rights of nations to implement their own environmental standards, even if they are
tougher or more cautious than our own?"
For his part, ever since Earth in the Balance, Vice President Gore's major
environmental issue has been global warming. This was one issue, Gore told reporters,
where he was going to push for action even if he thought the public might not be ready to
hear his message. No reporter responded, "But in the 1992 Rio Treaty, the Bush
administration committed the United States to reducing greenhouse emissions to 1990
levels. Why haven't you followed through with mandatory measures to meet our treaty
obligations?" And when the debate turned to tearing down the salmon-killing Snake
River dams in the Pacific Northwest, the press let Gore slip away without taking a
It's hard to blame the candidates here. Politicians, after all, want to offend as few
voters as possible. The problem is the press, which insists on framing politics as a horse
race and not as a choice about how we are to be governed. We can have a national debate on
environmental issues--but only if the press does its job.

The American Red Cross is urging blood and platelet donors of all types to roll up a sleeve and donate following an emergency call after fewer donations were made in June and the first week of July.
Across the country, donations through the Red Cross were down an estimated 10 percent in June. Organizers say about 50,000 donations that were expected never arrived.
The shortfall is similar to one seen by the Red Cross last year, and the organization said June is among the most challenging months for blood and platelet collection because regular donors often delay giving while they adjust to their summer schedules.
Another contributing factor is the break in high school and college blood drives, which supply up to 20 percent of the donations taken in during the school year. The Red Cross says donations made by those who participate in school drives drop by 80 percent during the summer months.
This year's mid-week Independence Day holiday also reduced the number of blood drives, according to the organization. Typically, many businesses and sponsors will host blood drives near the holiday, but most were unable to this year due to extended vacations.
Given these factors, the organization said it urgently needs donors to boost the blood supply and said platelet donations are also critically needed.
"We are counting on generous volunteer blood and platelet donors to step up and give now," said Geoff Kaufmann, CEO for the Red Cross North Central Blood Services Region. "Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. Each day donations come up short, less blood is available for these patients in need."
Donors with O negative, B negative and A negative blood are especially encouraged to give.
Anyone can call 1-800-733-2767 or visit http://www.redcrossblood.org/ to make an appointment or request more information.
Donors will need to bring either their donor card or driver's license as well as two other forms of identification to check in.
There are some restrictions on who can donate. Donors must weigh at least 110 pounds and be in generally good health. In Minnesota, 16-year-olds may donate with parental consent. Teens aged 17 and older may donate without parental consent as long as they meet height and weight requirements.

Rigorous studies have been conducted on various school
voucher programs – most notably those in Milwaukee, the District of Columbus,
and Florida – but this study by CATO's Matthew Carr is the first of its kind to
study Ohio's EdChoice
Scholarship program. Specifically, it examines whether traditional public
schools are spurred to improve in the face of a threat of losing students to private schools. It does not examine
whether vouchers are effective for students who use them but rather
investigates a key school choice theory: whether competition "creates
incentives for systemic improvements."
To test this, Carr collected achievement data from the Ohio
Department of Education on EdChoice-eligible schools over three distinct time
periods beginning in 2006 (note, eligibility changed multiple times), which
creates a unique research design in that there are three "treatment" periods
enabling analyses of whether each school changed its own behavior in response
to the voucher threat. (In contrast, other studies have compared fundamentally
different types of schools, eligible v. non-eligible schools.)
The study measured school improvement by looking at fourth-
and sixth-grade reading and math scores; and the percent of students scoring at
various levels (limited, proficient, advanced) to gauge the extent to which
schools under threat focused on "bubble students" (those just above and below
the proficiency cut-off and upon whom a school's rating depends most
heavily). It also controlled for factors
such as school quality (rating on A-F scale), and percent of students who are
white, disadvantaged, and/or disabled. Unique to this study (and impressive) is
that Carr manages to tease out the "scarlet letter" effect, i.e., did schools
improve not because of the voucher threat but rather because of the stigma associated with receiving a
highly publicized poor rating from the state?
Several significant findings emerged. The voucher threat was
correlated with a achievement gains in fourth grade reading (the equivalent of
2200 extra students reaching proficiency) and this did not result primarily
from stigma. Second, performance among bubble students didn't shift much;
rather, students in the lowest and highest performing categories made gains.
Carr theorizes that voucher-threatened schools may have focused on those
students most likely to exit, and calls for more research in this area.

Reprimand for 'Flatulence' Withdrawn in Unusual Employee Discipline Case
By Molly McDonough
Jan 11, 2013, 07:30 am CDT
I suppose the other employees could burn incense, or wear breather masks. Or, maybe they could call in their sister agency, OSHA, since this appears to be a workplace health issue.
By B. McLeod on 2013 01 11, 8:13 am CDT
This whole thing just stinks.
By Yankee on 2013 01 11, 9:25 am CDT
What kind of freak actually counts how often someone else farts?
By Violette on 2013 01 11, 11:06 am CDT
Maybe the poor employee would be eligible for an accommodating under the Americans with Disability Act?
By Nancy on 2013 01 11, 11:30 am CDT
re 4, yes, and this may be a medical condition that renders the person too disabled to work in an office.
By too disabled on 2013 01 11, 11:47 am CDT
Nancy, at this point, I think that is the only kind of "dating" the worker in question can hope to experience.
By B. McLeod on 2013 01 11, 7:58 pm CDT
#3 Violette: Nothing remotely like this, I assure you, but such freaks are in management and HR. I and another employee were fired from an airport authority (a third beat them out by retiring) in what was arguably an executive management campaign to clean out our division for more favored people, regardless of education or experience, before a certain person retired. Management "documented" outrages like being 2 minutes late for meetings or artificial deadlines, not cc'ing someone on an email, terminating a phone conversation with someone who was repeatedly interrupting and screaming at you, even our clothing! Seemingly anything to create a record for "progressive discipline" then termination. (PS to my fellow females: Spiegel garb might not be stylish enough! - and the involved management and HR people were all women….........)

This is quite simply the best restaurant in Islington.

Almost too good to be true – enjoy it quick before it fades.

Media Borough Council approved a new stop sign at the intersection of 2nd and Monroe streets at its meeting Thursday.
Councilman Paul Robinson said the intersection is the only one along Monroe Street without a stop sign and it was determined that one is needed.
He asked that Media Mayor Bob McMahon advise Media Police to install the new stop sign.
Robinson said the Public Safety Committee will also conduct a comprehensive review of all of the borough's stop signs to determine if some may no longer be needed or other intersections that may be in need of additional stop signs.
"One of the biggest things is trying to look at a few different areas of the borough that we could really emphasis as our strong pedestrian walkways and really work on those areas and make pedestrian walkways safer in the borough," Robinson said.
Road Resurfacing Concerns
Robinson also apologized to business owners and residents regarding the timing of road re-surfacing earlier in December.
Many business owners and residents voiced concerns about the poor timing of the road work which limited parking in the business district, during the busy shopping season.
Former Councilman Jim Cunningham asked council during public comment why the repaving was done a week before Christmas when historically the paving does not happen so late in the year.
"All I heard from merchants last week was complaints about how this is the time we do a high percentage of our business for the year and we've got streets torn up, traffic backed up and people can't find parking spaces," Cunningham said.
Robinson said there were significant issues with the paving contractor this year, which was under contract to complete the work by mid-December but there were concerns with temperature and paving plants shutting down leaving an issue with materials.
"I am not happen, our engineer is not happy, everyone is not happy," Robinson said. "There will be significant changes to the way the contract is put out in 2013 and there will be discussion with the current contractor."
He said the borough had a contract with the paving company which did not violate the contract but came very close in missing the deadline of the contract.
"I do promise you, and will make sure, this will not happen in 2013," Robinson said. "I do truly apologize."

Is Homeschooling Right for Your Family?
There are many reasons that parents choose to homeschool their children these days. With the continually rising costs of even public schools, a lot of families simply cannot afford to pay for things like uniforms and a vast amount of supplies.
There are also the ever increasing incidents of bullying in schools, and if your child is in the least bit different, he or she can be targeted. Sadly, it seems that teachers, school counselors and even principals can do nothing about this – or so they claim.
The level of education in many schools is another reason for homeschooling. Many teachers are merely glorified babysitters in some schools because they have classrooms filled with students that have no interest in learning. The list goes on and on.
Whatever your personal reasons are for thinking that homeschooling will be best for your children, there are still some things to take into consideration before making that final decision.
Have a look at the following check list and then see where you stand on the idea of homeschooling:
· Research homeschooling laws in your location: Depending on where you live, it can either be almost too simple or next to impossible to homeschool your children. Many states have laws or rules that almost require the parents to be degreed teachers before they'll be allowed to homeschool.
Other states require only that you register your child with the school district they live in along with declaring your intent to homeschool. Some places will require that you keep track of and report attendance while other areas have no such requirements. To stay out of trouble, be sure to check into the laws of your location.
Be honest about your patience: There are many children, although well loved by their parents, that still exhibit difficult and challenging
· behavior. The harried parents of these children are often relieved to see them head off to school. It's the only way that these parents can get a break. Therefore, it's important to do a check on how patient you are.
Do you have the patience to be with your child all of the time? It also takes a fair amount of patience to teach something that your child may not get the first time around. You must be able to remain calm in these instances.
· Can you make learning fun: To be honest, there are a high percentage of trained teachers that still don't have THIS one down. It's a very important requirement, however, when it comes to homeschooling. Many parents can actually do this better than teachers. Use your imagination and creativity to help your children WANT to learn.
· Do you feel qualified to teach your children: This can be a difficult question to answer but it doesn't have to be a deal breaker. Even if you had trouble with a certain subject yourself when in school, this can be an opportunity for both you and your children to learn and understand it better.
If you look at this list and feel that homeschooling is the right answer for your situation, forge ahead with confidence and determination. You're on the path to a fun, rewarding and fulfilling adventure.

Mississippi Tea Party Group Targeted By IRSBy Evelina Burnett | Published 22 May 2013 10:11am |
A Mississippi tea party group says they were singled out for extra scrutiny by the IRS because of their conservative-sounding name. The extra scrutiny prompted the group to drop their effort to get tax-exempt status.
Several dozen members and supporters of the Mississippi Tea Party gathered outside the I-R-S office in Jackson yesterday to protest the alleged targeting of conservative groups by the federal agency. The local tea party says they are one of hundreds across the country who faced additional scrutiny by the Internal Revenue Service. Executive director Julie Hodges said they wrangled with the application process for more than two years.
"Every time we would answer their questions, do what they asked us to do, they'd have another question," she said. "So for me, it's as if we would see light at the end of the tunnel, but the IRS would just build more tunnel."
Mark Mayfield, a long-time Mississippi Tea Party member, said the group was overwhelmed by the number and type of questions asked.
"They want copies of all Facebook pages and comments made on Facebook, for example," he said. "They want a list of our donors. They want to know which legislators and elected officials we've communicated with and they want transcripts of everything we've said to them."
Eventually, the group decided to withdraw its application. Mayfield said the group found out it had been singled out just recently, when news broke nationally about the targeting of conservative groups by the IRS.
The local tea party protest was among many such gatherings held outside of I-R-S offices nationwide yesterday. Mississippi Tea Party Chairman Roy Nicholson said they wanted to add their voice to the movement to say that such actions are not tolerable.
"This was criminal misuse of power," he said. "We're calling on our congressmen and senators to take on the IRS, to punish those people that are guilty of this. They need to be prosecuted. They need to go to jail."
A number of other tea party groups have filed or are considering filing suit against the IRS. Nicholson said the Mississippi Tea Party also has it under consideration but hasn't made a final decision yet.
The Mississippi Tea Party has posted copies of both letters it received from the IRS on its website.
