The North Pacific Regional Connectivity Investment Projectwill help the Republic of Palau (ROP) and Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) to establish faster and reliable internet connectivity through connection through submarine cable. ... See More + The submarine cable will connect Palau directly to Guam with a spur to Yap State in FSM. Currently Palau, Yap and Chuuk States in FSM depend fully on costly and limited capacity geo-stationary satellite based internet service. It has resulted to a very low internet penetration in both countries. Palau and FSM have agreed to share the cost of the cable equally. The World Bank has agreed to provide support to FSM for the project whereas Palau has requested ADB to support their component. The proposed project will follow the World Bank technical assistance to FSM and Palau in strengthening the regulatory environment of the information and communication technology (ICT) sector. The proposed project is expected to reduce the internet cost and increase the quality of the internet service to the general public. As a result, internet penetration is expected to increase significantly. This in turn will create an enabling environment for the delivery of improved electronic public services; including online government services, health and education and financial services, and support for regional integration objectives by enhancing service delivery, trade and communications with other Pacific island economies.

Ratings for the Scaling Up Sustainable Land Management (SLM) Practice, Knowledge, and Coordination Project for Nigeria were as follows: outcomes were satisfactory, the risk to global environment outcome was moderate, the Bank performance was satisfactory, and the Borrower performance was also satisfactory. ... See More + Some lessons learned included: sustainable land management efforts provide an important opportunity to engage women as active agents of reversing land degradation rather than passive recipients of adaptation support. Women are disproportionately vulnerable to the impacts of land degradation, and this reducing land degradation and adoption of SLM often comes at a cost and tends to require medium to longer term investment by land user. However, some market failures such as lack of credit, technology or knowledge could serve as barrier to such investment. Market based incentives such as co-financing (matching grant) from government have proven to be effective in helping land user overcome initial investment constraints. There is a need to balance between having maximum project impact and overstating scope of what project can realistically achieve. Unrealistic targets limit the scope of impact of project upfront and places undue burden on project implementation unit to deliver results. See Less -

The objective of the Second Health Sector Support Program Additional Financing is to support the Royal Government of Cambodiaapos;s Health Strategic Plan to improve access to, and utilization of effective, efficient and quality health services to improve the health status of the Cambodian population by (a) strengthening primary health care and essential referral services, (b) strengthening health financing and social protection mechanisms for the poor, and (c) strengthening human resources and institutional capacity in the Ministry of Health. ... See More + The following negative resettlement impacts may occur: loss of agricultural land, loss of productive assets, temporary loss of land, loss of structures and loss of other assets. Mitigating measures include: replacement of assets, compensation for loss, delay in project activities in regard to seasonal harvesting, and restoration of assets. See Less -

Land is one of the most valuable assets for rural people. Despite strong recent economic growth and overall development, gender disparities in access to and control over land remain pervasive in the East Asia region. ... See More + Women remain less likely to own land than men and, even when they do, their holdings are likely to be smaller and less valuable than those of men. Therefore, effective policies aiming to reduce gender disparities in land ownership, increase female land holdings, and improve womenapos;s livelihoods must take context-specific constraints into consideration. In recent years, several countries in the region have made headway toward increasing ownership and control over land by women. This note offers an overview of land titling, land administration and management, as well as post disaster reconstruction projects in the East Asia region. It provides an account of gender actions that helped improve womenapos;s access to land. The note concludes by summarizing lessons learned that can be used to inform future interventions. See Less -

Stanley, Victoria; Vyzaki, Marialena
The six case studies in this book were prepared as background studies for a synthesis report on land administration and reform in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). ... See More + Collectively they cover two main areas of land governance: reforms in redistributing agricultural land; and reforms in land administration. The problems in land ownership inequality and poor land administration are defined and the question of why reforms are necessary is addressed. The first two case studies focus on reforms in redistributing agricultural land in Malawi and South Africa. The Reforms in four thematic areas of land administration are addressed in the remaining case studies, encompassing experience from various countries as follows: (1) decentralizing land administration (Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, and Uganda); (2) developing post-conflict land administration systems (Liberia and Rwanda); (3) reengineering and computerizing land information systems (Ghana and Uganda); and (4) improving management of government land through land inventories (Ghana and Uganda). The common elements between sometimes quite disparate experiences provide lessons of relevance to other SSA countries contemplating similar reforms. See Less -

Ratings for the Land Management and Policy Development Project for Indonesia were as follows: outcomes were unsatisfactory, the risk to development outcome was significant, the Bank performance was moderately unsatisfactory, and the Borrower performance was unsatisfactory. ... See More + Some lessons learned included: in a country like Indonesia where the institutions bearing on land rights are poorly defined and not transparently administered, the priority needs to be championing legal and policy reform; in these circumstances, a project that pays less attention to reform than to land titling is unlikely to lead to a sustained increase in tenure security. This project approached institutional reform incidentally and made no headway because there was little support for it: there was little or no high-level commitment by government and the three implementing agencies showed little or no inclination to work together on policy reform. The decentralization of land management presupposes that there is adequate coordination between the sub-provincial agencies responsible for surveying, mapping and zoning; because not all aspects of land management can be self-financing, land management may be compromised if transfers from central government are erratic and insufficient. Despite the projectapos;s investment in local government capacity building, the National Land Agency was not sufficiently decentralized to facilitate collaboration with local institutions, and survey and mapping initiatives by these agencies were not harmonized, reducing the efficiency of spatial planning. This problem is aggravated by the underfunding of provincial and local levels of government. See Less -

The Gas Sector Development Project objective is to increase the reliability and stability of gas supply in Turkey by implementing critically needed gas storage and network infrastructure, and support the Turkish Pipeline Company (BOTAS) in strengthening its operations as a financially stable, and commercially managed corporation. ... See More + According to the geological possibility of underground storage in Turkey, a geological screening leads the Tuz Gölü Basin, where large leached salt caverns could be accommodated. It is a favorable location for a peak shaving storage (not far from Ankara) and close to the Kayseri-Konya-Seydi?ehir Gas Pipeline, and also, the existence of pure rock salt is proved at a suitable depth. The Project primarily involves economic, rather than physical displacement; however, it involves the acquisition of permanent and temporary land for project uses, and thus has the potential to affect peopleapos;s livelihoods. In order to avoid physical dislocation, and to minimize economic dislocation for affected populations, the Project has adopted several measures, including: minimizing Project land use, reclaiming land after construction, and reinstating the land, with minimum restrictions following construction, for use by the original land owners and users; designing the routing to avoid any physical resettlement and to minimize expropriation, both permanently and temporarily; no physical relocation or resettlement of households will result from project interventions; determining compensation values based on extensive data collection and net income evaluation methodology.

The development objective of the Solid Waste Management Project for West Bank and Gaza is to improve solid waste disposal services in the middle and southern Gaza strip. ... See More + Some of the negative and mitigation measures include: a) the compensation schemes have to consider the cost for transition period when waste pickers are not allowed to access the landfill and before they receive any compensations or before their projects start to be productive; b) to verify that project activities have been effectively completed with respect to quantity, quality, and timeliness including the various activities related to compensating the project affected persons (PAPs); c) maintain database and efficient records of the waste pickers and work to integrate them in the various programs and interventions to minimize the potential negative impact on them; and d) facilitate access of the waste pickers individuals and their families particularly women to micro-grants and sources of finance for improving livelihoods. It is strongly recommended that the financing agency for the micro-grant help the beneficiary in selecting the type of project that meets the marketsapos; needs. See Less -

The development objective of the First National Highways Interconnectivity Improvement Project for India is to improve and sustain integration of less developed areas in the project states by enhancing their road connectivity with the national highways network. ... See More + Negative measures include: loss of land, loss of asset, loss of trees and crops, loss of income, and loss of livelihood. Mitigation measures include: a) compensation for loss of land, structures, and other assets will be based on full replacement cost and will be paid before physical displacement of project affected persons (PAPs) including transaction costs; b) displaced person should be meaningfully consulted and should have opportunities to participate in planning and implementing resettlement programs; c) the involuntary resettlement and adverse impacts on persons affected by the project will be avoided or minimized as much as possible exploring viable alternative project design; and d) highway improvement and strengthening work will take place mostly on the existing alignment and within the available Right of Way (RoW) except at locations where bypass is proposed or at locations were realignment is necessary to incorporate required safety measures.

The development objectives of the Telecommunications Sector Reform Project for Myanmar are to: (i) improve the enabling environment for the telecommunications sector and extend coverage in selected remote pilot locations; and (ii) establish priority e-Government technological foundations and institutional capacity for government to embark on its public sector reform program. ... See More + Negative impacts include: terrestrial habitat alteration, visual impacts, hazardous materials and waste, air, noise, land acquisition, and public safety hazards. Mitigation measures include: (1) avoiding construction activities during the breeding season and other sensitive seasons or times of day; (2) re-vegetating disturbed areas with native plant species; (3) minimizing construction of additional towers through co-location of antennae in existing towers or existing structures such as buildings or power transmission towers; (4) implementing fuel delivery procedures and spill prevention and control plans applicable to the delivery and storage of fuel for backup electric power systems; (5) ensuring that fire suppression systems use ozone-friendly technology; (6) using noise suppression shields and mufflers as well as the location of noise generating sources should be used away from residential areas; and (7) designing and installing tower structures and components according to good international industry practice.

This paper pilots an approach to identifying, categorizing, and mapping public land owned by the central, state, and local government in urban developed areas of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. ... See More + The methodology uses information on plot sizes, location, and ownership that is publicly available for all areas covered by town planning schemes. The study examines the extent of unutilized and underutilized public land, which excludes all cemeteries, parks and gardens, heritage buildings, slums, utilities, infrastructure land, and industrial estates. Unused land already earmarked for public purposes were also excluded from the valuation exercise. The potentially marketable land so identified was valued at both official rates and estimated market rates. The value of potentially marketable excess land is significant -- in per capita terms, the high-value scenario substantially exceeds the estimate of total infrastructure investment needs for the next 20 years prepared by an expert committee of the Ministry of Urban Development of the Government of India.

The objective of the Second Gujarat State Highway Project for India is to improve the efficiency and safety of the core state highway network and strengthen institutional effectiveness towards improved service delivery and financing strategies. ... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: i) compensation for residual unviable land parcels will be provided to those affected persons who are eligible and opting for the same; ii) compensation for loss of structures, other assets will be provided at replacement cost and will be paid before physical displacement from the occupied or affected area; iii) assistance will be provided to those affected persons who lose their livelihood due to the acquisition carried out as part of the project; iv) cut-off date for titleholders will be the date of publication of notification under section 4(1) of land acquisition act, 1894. For non-titleholders, the date of project census survey or a similar designated date declared by project authority will be considered as cut-off date; v) the households and land owners who are absent during the time of census survey will be entitled for assistance and budget provisions will include them also. However, people moving to the Corridor of Impact (CoI) after the cut-off date will not be entitled for any compensation or assistance; and vi) loss of common property resources will be compensated and reconstructed at project cost. Enhancement measures also will be provided for community assets located alongside the project corridor in consultation with the community. See Less -

This brief summarizes the results of a gender impact evaluation study, entitled Environmental and gender impacts of land tenure regularization in Africa : pilot evidence from Rwanda, conducted in the year between 2007-2008, in Rwanda. ... See More + The study observed that although increased global demand for land has led to renewed interest in African land tenure, few models to address these issues quickly and at the required scale have been identified or evaluated. The case of Rwandaapos;s nation-wide and relatively low-cost land tenure regularization program is thus of great interest. The impact on self-reported expropriation risk is negative (leading to lower expropriation risk) but the impact is not significant. However, there is evidence of behavior change that is consistent with lengthening of time horizons; for example, treated households increase soil conservation investments 10 percent more than the control group. Funding for the study derives from Gender Innovation Lab. See Less -

The objective of the Anhui Yellow Mountain New Countryside Demonstration Project for China is to improve the quality of services and income generating opportunities available to rural households in selected villages of Huangshan municipality through: (i) upgrading infrastructure services, (ii) restoring and preserving the existing cultural heritage assets, and (iii) promoting high value-added agriculture and countryside tourism. ... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: a) attention should be paid to environmental protection. For example, wastewater treatment sites should be selected to avoid water sources, schools, hospitals, cultural relics, scenic zones and other environmentally sensitive areas; the construction sites should not pollute the surrounding environment, or should result in pollution not in excess of the allowable limits specified in the applicable state laws and regulations, and prevailing standards; b) under equal conditions, wastewater treatment plants, pipelines, farmer training centers and car parks should be so located as to minimize farmland occupation. For example, most pipelines should be laid along village roads or on wasteland or river flats, and the surface should be restored after construction, thereby both meeting engineering requirements, and avoiding local production and livelihood impacts; c) if the household living in the ancient residence has not more than three members, another household may move in during renovation; and d) if the household living in the ancient residence has more than three members and co-occupation is inconvenient, the village collective may rent a house to it in the village. It has been found in our survey that every village has a large number of empty houses because villagers are working outside and is capable of accommodating the temporarily relocated persons. During this period, the house rentals and moving costs incurred by the relocated temporarily residents will be borne by the village collective. See Less -

Ratings for the Land Administration Project for Ghana were as follows: outcome was moderately unsatisfactory; risk to development outcome was moderate; bank performance was moderately unsatisfactory; borrower performance was moderately unsatisfactory. ... See More + Independent Evaluation Group (IEG) derives five lessons from the project that are of broad relevance to other operations of this nature: (i) attempts to apos;harmonizeapos; customary and statutory land tenure institutions will not be successful if the conflicts of interest over rent allocation are not addressed, and if priority is not given to distributing rents in accordance with the public good;(ii) land tenure reform calls for a long term commitment by the government and its development partners; this commitment may be facilitated by a programmatic lending instrument but the commitment must precede the choice of instrument the instrument by itself will not create the necessary commitment; (iii) the bankapos;s annual doing business survey may give a misleading impression about trends in the efficiency of property registration services; (iv)although the bankapos;s good practice guidelines indicate that the efficiency of land administration services tends to be higher when they are handled by a single agency, in practice, consolidating land agencies does not in itself ensure that their efficiency will improve; and (v) projects with multiple co-financiers are risky: if each insists on imposing its own procurement and disbursement procedures implementation may be delayed; and the strategic priorities of the partners may diverge in the course of project implementation, undermining support for achieving the project outcomes that were originally agreed to.

The objectives of the Guangdong Social Security Integration and Migrant Training Project for China are to support rural-urban integration through: (i) supporting a social security system that promotes social equity and labor mobility by enhancing coverage, integration and portability; and (ii) piloting interventions to improve labor transfer through: (a) enhancing the quality and relevance of skills training offered by competent training institutions; and (b) empowering rural labor to choose among training institutions and skill areas. ... See More + Negative measures include: loss of asset, loss of land acquisition, loss of income, and loss of livelihood. Mitigation measures include: a) land acquisition compensation fees in all regions shall not be lower than the standards. The peopleapos;s government at county (city or district) or higher level may formulate land acquisition standards in accordance with the standards and the classification table and according to the local actual situation and submit the same to the provincial land and resources department for filing; b) settlement security has been provided from compensation of land losses by a lump sum and long-term sustainable growth. With proper facilities for production, living and family development, the living standards will be recovered to at least not lower than those before this project. It is in line with the total target of the World Bank in terms of land acquisition and resettlement; and c) on both beginning of planning and completion of construction of this project, it shall be enhanced to negotiate with Mache Village Committee and the affected persons and plan and design commercial street and the related commercial supporting facilities; such systems shall be designed as the affected persons is invited to participate in the equity by the acquired land or the affected villagers enjoy preferential operation right to make this project contain employment and profits creation by 20,000 students and teachers and better benefit the affected area and persons.

What is a good drug or supplement to take for anemia?
- Q: Can you advise me on a good drug or supplement to take for my anemia problem?
- A: Anemia occurs when you don't have enough red blood cells or your red blood cells are not working effectively to carry oxygen throughout your body. Anemia can be caused by dietary deficiencies of iron, vitamin B-12 or folate. Your healthcare provider will need to do a blood test to determine if you have an anemia and if so, which type you have so it can be properly treated. Iron, vitamin B12 and folic acid (folate) are necessary for red blood cells to function properly. Red blood cells carry oxygen throughout the body. It is best to get your nutrient requirements through your diet. Some foods that are sources of iron include the following (taken from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Agriculture's dietary guidelines); fortified cereals, beans, lentils, beef, organ meats, sardines, lamb, shrimp, duck, spinach, and soybeans. Food sources of folate include fortified cereals, leafy green vegetables, fruits and beans. Vitamin B12 is found in meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and fortified cereals. There are numerous formulations and different combinations of vitamins and minerals. The need for vitamin supplementation and the choice of the most appropriate vitamin preparation may depend on many patient-specific characteristics. Thus, it is important to consult with your physician or health care provider regarding the intake of vitamins. Because herbs and supplements are not strictly regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, these products are not required to be tested for effectiveness, purity, or safety. The Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) is based off of the level of the nutrient considered sufficient to prevent deficiency in healthy adults. The RDI for iron is 18mg which is what most multivitamin/minerals contain. An individual who has an iron deficiency may need more iron than a multivitamin contains. Iron is available over-the-counter in higher dosages, however you should consult your doctor to determine which dose is right for you. Iron comes in many different forms, you may see it noted as ferrous sulfate, ferrous fumarate or ferrous gluconate in products that contain iron. The RDI for vitamin B12 is between 2.4 and 6mcg. Most multivitamins contain 6mcg of vitamin B12. The RDI for folic acid is 400mcg for most adults which is what most multivitamins contain. Those who are deficient in vitamin B12 or folic acid may need a higher strength supplement prescribed by their doctor. In general, dietary supplements should only be taken under the supervision of your health care provider. Laura Cable, PharmD

As he talked about his role in late November, Bears tight end Greg Olsen explained how all catches are not created equal.
''There are a lot of guys who get a ton of catches a game, and, granted, everyone wants that,'' Olsen told the Sun-Times. ''But there's a difference between getting a lot of balls and catching balls that are meaningful.
''Guys around here understand that. It's not how many but the ones that you get.''
During the offseason, Olsen endured speculation that he was on the trade block because new offensive coordinator Mike Martz previously hadn't had much use for tight ends.
But Olsen plays a lot of snaps, and he lines up all over the field, showcasing his versatility.
''Greg's numbers in the passing game are not what they could and probably should be for his abilities, but what we've done with him is he lines up at the line of scrimmage, and he's the point of attack," Martz said. ''But he's also lined up at fullback and has been a lead blocker.
''We line him up at wide receiver. He does so many things for us, and just by being able to do that flexibility, it puts a lot of pressure on the defense, though his numbers wouldn't indicate that.''
Martz is right.
In 2009, Olsen led the team in catches (60) and receiving touchdowns (eight) and had 612 receiving yards. This season, he's fourth in catches (41) and has 404 receiving yards, but he's tied for the team lead in receiving touchdowns with five.
Olsen doesn't mind.
''It's definitely different,'' he said, ''but I really think — and wholeheartedly believe — it's been a good thing. It's really opened my eyes that you can have an impact on the game other than just catching touchdowns and catching the ball.''
For instance, Olsen said, the tight ends are counted on in blitz pickups on third downs and blocking out of the backfield.
And nobody at his position is asked to do as much as Olsen, given his versatility — something opponents recognize and respect.
''He's one of the outstanding players they have on that side of the ball," Seattle Seahawks safety Lawyer Milloy said. ''Definitely have to know where he's at, knowing he's one of [Jay] Cutler's favorite targets.''
Olsen hasn't scored in over a month, and he has had one catch in four of the Bears' last six games. But he remains an important part of the offense, Cutler said.
''Greg's still valuable to this offense right now,'' Cutler said. ''He does so many different things.
''I think even though Greg's numbers might be down, he's probably had more fun in this offense than he has in years. Just the challenge of preparing each week and the different things we're asking him to do.''
Some of the demands are new to Olsen, who starred at the University of Miami as a hybrid tight end known mostly for catches, not blocks. But he has learned something.
''You can have a big impact on the game without the ball,'' he said, ''and when the ball comes your way, you have to make the plays, and we have for the most part this year.''
Then Olsen shifted into ''we'' mode.
''The position has made some plays and been a factor in the passing game, but I think the position has helped in some other ways that sometimes can go unnoticed,'' he said. ''Overall, we've all grown a lot this past year as all-around players."
The fourth-year player is looking forward to his first playoff game, an opportunity he fully expected to come much earlier because he was drafted months after the Bears reached Super Bowl XLI.
''I was excited to come here, and you expect to be back right away,'' Olsen said. ''But, as a lot of teams know, that's not the case. It's not easy to get this far. There's a lot that goes into it.
''Myself and other guys who haven't been in the playoffs are really anxious and really excited for this opportunity. We expect to do good things and keep this rolling. It all starts Sunday.''

TheStreet.com TV Recap: Tech Signs
Recent action suggests we might be seeing a respite in the tech selling spurt, Jim Cramer said on TheStreet.com TV's Wall St. Confidential video Wednesday.
But don't get your hopes up.
"We're in a glass-half-full mode in tech because the shorts pressed their bets so greatly off of expiration last week," Cramer said. "We were confounded by the work off of the options hangover which then positioned tech to be too low and ready for a trade -- just a trade, but a trade is worth grabbing."
Actually, it's "very telling" that Yahoo! (YHOO), in particular, is up because when listening through the Internet company's conference call people will realize that the company really doesn't have a clue of what it's doing, he told Aaron Task, the host of Wall St. Confidential.The move by Yahoo!, which Cramer owns for his charitable trust,

Susan M. Zywicki, 49, 1547 Larry's Drive, town of Hull, died Sunday, Sept. 5, 1999, at St. Joseph's Hospital in Marshfield.
A memorial Mass will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Thursday at St. Stanislaus Catholic Church with the Rev. Donald Przybylski officiating.
Visitation will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Pisarski/Dzikoski Funeral Home and from 9 a.m. Thursday at the church until the time of services. The Women of the Moose will have a ritual at 6:45 p.m. Wednesday and a Bible vigil service will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
In lieu of flowers, a memorial in her name will be established at a later date.
Mrs. Zywicki was born Sept. 6, 1949, in Stevens Point, a daughter of Mary (Schoettel) Suplicki and the late John Suplicki.
She was married to Lawrence Zywicki on May 16, 1970, at St. Stephen's Catholic Church.
She was employed at the Telephone Support Office at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point for 15 years.
Survivors include her husband; her mother, Stevens Point; one daughter, Ann (Cory) Caves, Stevens Point; one son, Steven, Stevens Point; two sisters, Mary Kay (Robert) Hamilton and Carol (George) Strasser, both of Stevens Point; and one brother, J. Mike Suplicki, Stevens Point.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the decision of the Second Circuit Court of Appeals in Board of Education of the City of New York v. Tom F. and Gilbert F. This case involves a family that placed their son Gilbert, who has a learning disability, in a private school program because the school had not offered an appropriate program. At that time, the school district agreed to pay the tuition of the private placement and did so for the 1997-98 and 1998-99 school years. Thus, the school district paid for the private school placement and Gilbert never physically attended public school. The school district then proposed for the 1999-2000 school year that Gilbert attend public school and refused to continue paying the private school tuition. Still believing the public school placement to be inappropriate, the family requested a due process hearing.
The hearing officer agreed with the family that the public school placement was inappropriate and the school district appealed to a state level review officer who also agreed with the family. The school district then filed in federal district court.
The district court ruled for the school district saying that since Gilbert had never received special education services from the school district the IDEA did not require the school district to pay for his private placement. The parents appealed to the Court of Appeals.
In the mean time, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals had decided a similar case Frank G. v Board of Education of Hyde Park, holding that the IDEA did not require parents to first place their child in an inappropriate public school placement in order to be reimbursed for private school tuitiion. So, the Second Circuit vacated the district court decision regarding Gilberts' placement and remanded the case back to the district court to reconsider based on the Court of Appeals decision in the Hyde Park case. The school district appealed to the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals decision requiring the school district to pay tuition for Gilbert's private school placement. But this affirmation was by a four to four vote because Justice Kennedy did not take part in the decision. As a result the decision affirms the Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision, but does not set precedent on this issue. The other second circuit case Frank G. v. Board of Education of Hyde Park has also been appealed to the Supreme Court, but has not yet been accepted by the Court. If it is, and if Justice Kenndy participates in the decision, we should get a majority decision on this issue.
The IDEA and its regulations requires that if parents can establish that (1) the public school placement being offered is inappropriate and (2) the private program where they have placed their child is appropriate, the parents may be entitled to tuition reimbursement. But must parents first place the child in a public school setting, even if it is inappropriate, to be reimbursed for the costs of the private placement? By affirming this decision the Supreme Court, has not said that they must, but we should monitor to see what happens in the Frank G v. Board of Education of Hyde Park case.
For a better understanding of the legal arguements it might be useful to read the parent's appeal brief and the school district's brief.

Friendly Fish Kisses — Worst Cooks in America Caption Itby Maria Russo in Recipes, February 22nd, 2013
We're just one week into the fourth season of Worst Cooks in America, and if the first day of Boot Camp was any indication, Chef Anne was correct when she promised the recruits, "This is going to be a brutal seven weeks." In the premiere episode, the contestants reluctantly said goodbye to their most prized kitchen possession — the microwave — and attempted to embrace from-scratch cooking by tackling a familiar favorite: meat and potatoes. Some finalists rose to the challenge, turning out dishes that were shockingly impressive for their first tries, while others offered plates that proved barely palatable to mentors Bobby and Anne.
For at least a short time on Sunday's brand-new episode, it seems from the sneak-peek photo above that the recruits are leaving their cares over the kitchen behind and embarking on a hands-on fishing trip. Here, "Primetime 99″ Alex Stein not only poses with his prized catch of the day but lays a few fish kisses on it as well, proving that at least one of the recruits finds success on the high seas. Do you think the other contestants will get as up close and personal with their scaly friends as Alex did, or will some shy away from these underwater creatures?
Before you tune in this Sunday at 9pm/8c to find out which competitors make it past week two of Boot Camp, we're challenging you, Worst Cooks in America fans, to write your best captions (tastefully appropriate, please) for this offshore moment in the comments below.
Think you have what it takes to make it at Boot Camp? Take Food Network's Worst Cooks in America Culinary Quiz to find out.

I just want to say i love the show, there are enough violent shows and hospital show on tv, i enjoy watching people trying to do there best on learning new things, i don't care if it is staged, i get a laugh out of some of them, there is enough to make us depressed, don't you think. Please keep the one that is in love with Bobby, i think she is so funny, i love her. I look forward to the next show, it seems to go by so fast.
The guy on the blue team (I believe it is Alan) is not who he is pretending to be as a WORST CHEF….
he was in the top 20 of MASTER CHEF with Gordan Ramsey – home cook, maybe – but he should not have been let thru to misrepresent your show……SCREEN YOUR APPLICANTS…..I watched the
first 2 seasons but not anymore – I like Anne and Bobby – but he not who they think he is as far as a chef……
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of Ryan Umane aka "The Flavor Elevator" on last season of Masterchef… he was obnoxious too, but not Alex. Alex Stein was on Glass House… not Masterchef.

It's that time of year again! Time for two NFL teams to duke it out for this year's Super Bowl! I have to be honest - I'm not a huge football fan. What I am a huge fan of though is party food, funny commercials, and the half-time show! So I'll be there watching with my family - eating some delicious grub!
I'm really excited about Kelly Clarkson singing the National Anthem. She's gonna be amazing! Also - does anyone else think it was really smart of them to choose Madonna to perform the Half Time show? All the football fans are going to be watching the game anyway. Now with Madonna performing they have a whole new group of watchers! Kind of brilliant.
Anyway, back to what's really important. It's not the game. It's the food. I hope you all have fun and get to enjoy some yummy food! Here's what I'm cooking up (and some great ideas for all of you!!):
|Simple Sloppy Joes
|Cornmeal Fried Onion Rings
|Dill Vinaigrette Pasta Salad
|Garlic "Parmesan" Breadsticks
|Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
|Chipotle Black Bean Dip
|Super Easy Guacamole
|Strawberry Walnut Dessert

Jamey Giddens January 27, 2012 All My Children, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, One Life to Live, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Chew, The Revolution, The Young and The Restless 50 Comments With the daytime drama fighting for her very existence, you can bet all eyes are on the Nielsens ratings. After checking with my moles at several networks I was able to learn the following tidbits: Suits at CBS Daytime are impressed that The Bold and the Beautiful has maintained a 2.5 in households for the past few weeks. With big stories, including the climax of the Hope/Liam/Steffy (Kimberly Matula, Scott Clifton and Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) triangle, Ridge and Brooke (Ron Moss and Katherine Kelly Lang) once again at odds over there girls and things heating up for Rick (Jacob Young) and Amber (Adrienne Frantz), planned for February Sweeps—not to mention B&B's 25th anniversary coming up in March—here's hoping the soon-to-be 25-year-old sudser can keep it up! B&B's sister sudser Y&R is also causing optimism these days. The soap was watched by more than five million viewers the week of Jan. 16-20, and sources are saying Y&R is continuing to head back to a more traditional style soap. Thank you, Soap Jesus! "They're finally getting the message," assures one source. "Steve Kent at Sony believes in the future of serialized storytelling. He isn't going to let the two shows he has a vested interest in go down without a fight!" Hopefully that means a solid future for both Y&R and Days of Our Lives, which Sony also co-owns. The word on the street is DAYS is about to start experimenting with some of the more out there storylines that made it the talk of the 90's. Now for General Hospital. Even with the soap posting record low ratings, I am hearing from multiple sources there is a strong possibility GH could live on—at least long enough for ABC to develop something to replace The Revolution—all because of the pitiable ratings debut for the One Life to Live replacement. "ABC is not happy with The Revolution," says one insider, "and not just the ratings, but the show itself. It's a mess. This may buy GH time for ABC to develop something else. " The Revolution's debut in total viewers was just 1.68 million viewers the week of Jan. 16-20. That same week a year ago, One Life to Live was watched by 2.64 million people. Insiders are beginning to speculate GH could be moved into The Revolution's timeslot if the numbers don't improve. As for the GH-to-primetime buzz. None of my generally on-the-money insiders have heard a word about such a move, so take that for what it's worth. 50 Responses thecourt99 January 27, 2012 Its good to hear about Y&R, but I have been burned by that show too many times. I am done with Y&R and most likely won't return. I am also happy to hear that GH is getting a reprieve, if only for a short while. It seems that ABC is still determined to get out of the soap opera (daytime) business. Log in to Reply soapjunkie88 January 27, 2012 It's good to hear that Sony still seems to care. When it comes to Y&R I thought they'd never see the light. DAYS and the talk of the 90s stories … well, I think in a small doses it could help the show as long as no one gets possessed by the devil. Log in to Reply Katiebug9624 January 27, 2012 I just want to know which ABC exec looked at The Revolution (and the Chew) and thought "this is the one! this is what we are going to replace our soaps with and there going to bring in the ratings!" because honestly they need to lose their jobs. Both the Chew and Revolution are piss poor daytime viewing. If your going to have a talk show, do it right. Same with a food show. Don't come out with a really cheap bright show with a panel of hosts that don't mesh well together. Log in to Reply SoapArmageddon January 27, 2012 Nothing those idiots put on the air will generate as much fan loyalty as the soaps. Instead of killing them, they need to come up with plans to make it hip again to watch them like it was in the eighties. Log in to Reply Jamey Giddens January 27, 2012 I just want to know which ABC exec looked at The Revolution (and the Chew) and thought "this is the one! this is what we are going to replace our soaps with and there going to bring in the ratings!" *** Anne Sweeney. My sources said Brian only wanted to cancel One Life to Live initally (Surprise, surprise). Sweeney said cancel them both and ordered The Chew be fastracked on the air to replace AMC, and The Revolution retooled then put in place of OLTL. Sweeney wants GH gone as well. She wanted to cut all three at once, but Brian convinced her to spare GH. Then the Katie Couric deal came in… Log in to Reply giogio January 27, 2012 Not to be mean here, but it is a pitiful site, that Revolution. NO ONE wants to hear that bull during the day, every single day. Oh no no no no no. That show is bad!!! Log in to Reply giogio January 27, 2012 Jamey – and to think we were writing to Ann Sweeny to keep our shows. They better be careful. They are not above being victims of the economic crisis. Log in to Reply cord2012 January 27, 2012 I agree soapjunkie88. I just started watching DAYS a few weeks ago, and I have to say that I am kind of enjoying it. I like the character interaction, use of history, etc. But, most of all I like that the stories are mostly down-to-earth, family-driven stories. Therefore, I hope they are able to do what they need to do to get the ratings up, but I also hope that they don't go overboard with the campy story lines. If they start having people disappear to some island and devil possession again, I don't know if I would be interested in continuing my viewership. Log in to Reply jphelps January 27, 2012 I am happy with B&B's uptick and I hope Y&R stops the stuntcasting. As for GH, I just dont see ABC caving. Only 10% of new shows catch on in primetime so I find it hard to believe they dont have other programming available and with ABCD going to a syndication model come 2013 does it matter anyway. I guess anything is possible. As for DOOL, they need to trim their cast and hire talented writers. You can tell compelling stories that center around corporate drama. Bill Bell did it for years.These writers cant do melodrama. Going back to Passions like stories seems desperation rather than addressing the real issues.a typical Corday desperation move. Log in to Reply Duchess January 27, 2012 Very happy about B&B doing so well in the ratings and being up a lot compared to last year. It's been must see TV for awhile now. I haven't been this excited to watch every day for a long time! Also Y&R is finally on the upswing telling stories revolving around the Newmans and Abbotts. If it wasn't for that horrible Chelsea I'd be loving everything about it right now! Log in to Reply DaytimeFan0001 January 27, 2012 All positive soap news heading into the weekend. It's been a long time since this has happened. Sounds great for once! All encouraging things- glad to know Sony supports their shows that much- that's something in their favor if all else fails with CBS! I heard myself that CBS is pleased with their remaining soaps. Log in to Reply Marland Fan January 27, 2012 Um, I thought the whole regime change at DAYS was to get back to classic story telling and get away from the outrageous plots of the past?? It's a shame OLTL was sacrificed for a show that probably won't last a year, let alone 43! Dumb move, ABC. Log in to Reply p3wong January 27, 2012 Do you guys know how Anderson is doing? It doesn't come on until 5pm, so not sure if it competes with the soaps or the Chew and Revolution – but since it is also a new show, wondering how the numbers compare to the rest!

Jamey, based on the above comments you made regarding Y&R, are these sources within Sony telling you that Steve Kent is finally getting the message from the fans that they're tired of MAB, SH and HS's writing of the show and is possibly on the verge of doing something about it? Log in to Reply keanna January 28, 2012 Bonus ratings article, love it, Jamey!!! Great news to hear about Days, fan favorites coming back, storylines are getting better, excellent.

Why does Sweeney have so much contempt for daytime drama industry that she's determined to cancel all the daytime dramas and not feel one shred of remorse for the thousands of people losing their jobs?! I understand that soaps are expensive to produce, but there are ways to bring soaps under budget, just look at Frank Valentini and OLTL!! The Spew and The Revulsion can never replace AMC and OLTL and I will never watch any of the garbage shows abc airs in the daytime. Once GH is gone, I'm never gonna watch abc again. I hope Sweeney and those a******* get what's coming to them, cuz payback's a bitch!! Log in to Reply marybee50 January 28, 2012 I'm watching Days now,and for the most part loving it.Will/EJ/Sami/Marlena are the best parts.Y&R seems to be getting better,B&B is OK now hopefully that Liam/Hope/Steffy stuff is resolved. As for GH,I actually watched the last episodes with only Sonny & Kate being most boring.Maybe some of Frank & Ron's influence is taking over.Read an article with Bradford A and he said the mood is more positive with Frank on the floor.Let's hope so. I really don't know how ABC would think the replacement shows can carry on with viewers everyday all year.Are they going to repeat shows like Oprah and others did. Log in to Reply The_Moustache January 28, 2012 GH is over, STOP IT. Log in to Reply pumpkin January 28, 2012 I don't care for GH as is. Yucko. I will see what the new regime does with the characters/stories. Anderson Cooper is on 9:00 in the morning in my market. In my area, the 3:00 pm slot is very competitive. Rachel Rae/Wendy Williams/Dr. Oz and GH all on 3 pm. Stuff competition all around. GH may also do better at 2:00. With the two shows Revo/Chew, they are shows that people watch hit and miss depending on topic/guest. I think talk shows are like that also. I think execs look at that. Cost is factor but I don't think most people sit down everyday and watch those shows. I am just pointing out that they don't need as big an audience to make money. Just sayin….That is why the soaps got in trouble in the first place. What is in GH's favor is the fact that networks may find they need anchor show to grab daily audience for other shows. Of course, I still think oltl was better quality show. Log in to Reply 1titanman January 28, 2012 Jamey; Did your sources have any news on Maria Bell?

I like that characters are talking to each, no one has died in months, etc. I don't want camp or science fiction. James E Reilly was a brilliant writer and probably saved Days from cancellation but I prefer the current writing style. Besides, no one can do Reilly but Reilly and they should not try. The network and Sony need to give this team time to get the ratings up. The ratings did not go in the toilet overnight so they can't be expected to rise over night either.

By cutting an hour-long show in half, you're also cutting in half the number of commercials that air, therefore the amount of money coming in is cut in half, too? You still have to pay the same technical crew and all the people behind the scenes. Part of the reason the soaps were expanded to an hour was because it was a money saver. It makes no sense to go back. Log in to Reply elwood123 January 28, 2012 GH deserves to be dead last. TIIC allowed Frons to push failed pairings for years due to his own agenda and nobody did anything about it. He went so far as to fire the most popular actress on the show and kill a legacy child as he thought ridding the show of these beloved characters could somehow turn his failed agenda around. We all told GH to stick it and the ratings prove it week after week. Log in to Reply giogio January 28, 2012 Hotbilly – you are right. I did the same thing. Y&R…..Sharon and Adam…Like old time soaps. It was so different from abc soaps when I started watching, which was last April after the abc announcements. They are so deep. Had to laugh at yesterdays show when Victor put Adams desk in the bathroom. Oh did I laugh. Log in to Reply Jon January 28, 2012 Don't care if Days reverts to the "out there" stories (although, I agree no one can out JER JER himself, RIP) as long as they keep the gay storyline. It's fantastic! Log in to Reply SoapArmageddon January 28, 2012 I don't think the writers are going to try to reverse the clock and go back completely to J.E. Reilly's Days. They might try to infuse the show with some elements of camp and fantasy, which does not necessarily mean sci-fi. I think SOME of nineties' Days was fun and would have liked it even more if some of the pacing and dialogue and not been so dreadful. These new writers are just fantastic with dialogue, so I'm not worried. In short, they need to do something to get the ratings up. If adding more camp and some over-the-top stuff will help do that, I'm all for it. Log in to Reply Bartman202 January 28, 2012 [quote=thecourt99]It's good to hear about Y&R, but I have been burned by that show too many times. I am done with Y&R and most likely won't return.[/quote] The only reason for the ratings uptick for "Y & R" was the MLK Jr. holiday – ratings will go down after the steaming pile of garbage heaped at us viewers this week!! C'mon, MAB & co-hacks: Jeffrey has amnesia – REALLY?!? AMNESIA?? Yet he knew who Gloria was back on Long Island Sound & was able to find his way to Genoa City – WTF?!? Kevin built himself a raft with the help of that annoying Angelina bimbette, but Jeffrey wasn't able to come up with the same idea himself with all that material around (inner tubes and an outboard motor) – REALLY?!? Jack STILL can't tell Patty from Emily – REALLY?!? Haven't we been down this road before, say about 24 months ago?? More back-pedaling in the D.O.A./Lame as all Hell "Who Killed Diane?" storyline – REALLY?!? Deacon know MORE – REALLY?!? PLEASE END THIS DULL, HACKNEYED STORY!! Sharon & Adam had sex AGAIN – REALLY?!? Stop pairing these two – it's not working!!! It wasn't sexy or arousing – it was appalling and tepid at the least – I've seen squirrels go at it with more passion!! Nikki & Victor found their way back to one another again – REALLY?!? And just how did they achieve this?? Through another one of Victor's 'go nowhere/doesn't make sense' plans concocted in the pea-brains of the show's Head Writer!! By the way: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE ROMANCE ON THIS SHOW?!? Either somebody's getting married for the umpteenth time or sleeping with somebody's wife/sister/milkman!! There's no love stories on this show anymore – NONE!! For those of you being entertained by these horribly contrived, plot-driven stories, I feel for you because the the shizz on my screen isn't Bill Bell's "Y & R"!! Unless Maria Arena Bell and her co-hacks are given the boot, we can all expect to be deluged by more unnecessary new characters in silly, threadbare stories with no resolution or payoff for the viewer. Log in to Reply CtFireWitch January 28, 2012 OT: Sad news in the NY Post today….Nick Santino whose credits include AMC and GL committed suicide. 'He couldn't live without man's best friend. A down-on-his luck soap opera actor-exhausted from fighting with his snarling Upper West Side condo-couldn't take the harassment anymore and put his healthy pit bull to sleep on his own 47th birthday…..He spent Tuesday in agony over what he had done to Rocco.' NY Post This story is so sad it made me cry. Log in to Reply SoapArmageddon January 28, 2012 Nick was a real-life hero as well. There were news stories about him rescuing victims on 9/11. Sad. Log in to Reply richalan67 January 29, 2012 I have watched "YR" for nearly 26 years and have to say that I am enjoying it very much. The sls are interesting. The BON plot is pure Bell. It reminds me of the old days. I actually until reading this article today have stayed away from MB because of the negativity and have to say my experiment is paying off in spades. The show is great. One holiday such as MLK does NOT account for the rise in ratings! I think that those who keep saying the show is on its last legs actually are hoping it is canceled. Just saying! Log in to Reply AdamDrake January 29, 2012 Nick never really had a family he could call his own, either, so his life is a sad story of giving and not getting much back in return. A very sad life, but we're probably better off that he was here. Log in to Reply Katiebug9624 January 29, 2012 It's strange that Days seems to be going back to "90's" storytelling. For me the 90's were all about Vivian, Lawrence, Carly, Bo, Marlena, John, Steve and Kayla. I guess that's because I was never a huge Billie fan. Of course I loved the heck out of the Carrie and Sami feud. Log in to Reply david46208 January 29, 2012 @Days Fans: Well just because they may be heading a bit back to the 90's does mean it has to be Reilly era. It could be the award winning Sally Sussman Morina era right after Reilly left. During her tenure ass the Head Writer of Days, she earned the show its first and only Writers Guild of America award for her storyline involving Sami's execution. Along with that story, she penned the Kristen/Susan murder mystery and the Mike/Carrie love story. She was also nominated for two Emmy awards, won the People's Choice and the TV Guide awards. And she wrote the characters 3 dimensional, which was something Reilly was not good at. Characters under his tenure were 2 dimensional at best. So we should keep that in mind. Log in to Reply marknsprmo January 29, 2012 Days does need some tweeking but some of what has been going on is sooo good it is the best stuff I have seen in years. To encorporate unrealistic stories at this point will feel strained against the realistic pov that the show has taken lately. I hope that the new stories don't get too far out there. NO floating heroines. No prisons and death chambers. No virtual reality eden please! Just tell some good strong stories in a timely fashion! Log in to Reply marybee50 January 29, 2012 I so miss my OLTL.There is a big empty hole in my TV viewing.AS much as I hate ABC,I started watching GH again because of Johnny's story.I dont know if GH's ratings go up if it will make a difference,but I am going to give GH a try again. Days is now the show I want to watch in real time when I can.While some of the stories are drawn out a bit,I am along for the ride.Sometimes out there stories are ok if the writers incorporate it correctly and dont take themselves so seriously while they're doing it.A little humor can go along way in any story.Sometimes it just little comments or looks.OLTL was great at this;John & Todd scences;EJ & Will scences seem to be doing this also. Anyway,I'm not ready now to throw away any soap.I hope the revolution dosent run into GH like the chew did to OLTL to add to its ratings. Log in to Reply Cyberologist January 29, 2012 Y/R: I just can't figure it out & I watch fairly regularly every eppy mostly….the Niki back in Victor's bed quickerthanthis was just a turn off. She sobered up "Victor went to jail for me, he married Sharon for me …We love each other" HuH? Was that Sharon/Adam in bed? GH: Its not much I can get into but I am into the JohnnyZ storyline I tried one day with Ethan & Elizabeth scene while I was glad he apologized for his beat down of her & her relationship w/Lucky then she was Lucky, Lucky, Lucky when they give her dialog that makes her sound like a parrot on crack I have to tune it & drifted away. Plesae free her from Schmucky! Jason's storyline got 1.7's then he & Sonny scenes got a 1.5 day now that's sad. These are the big guns. B/B: Any Heather Bill scenes are worth watching…I'm liking Amber & Rick in story. They got her away from the kiddie table storylines. When am I going to see Thomas with his shirt off in de bed? Log in to Reply RealityCheck 33 January 30, 2012 I think ABC will kill GH despite The Revolution being a bomb. They want out of the soap biz desperately. Now the result will be a financial bomb for them, but these people who destroyed ABC Daytime will be fired and new bunch of monkeys will be hired to put on game shows to try to regain ratings. DAYS needs to go to CBS to survive. NBC is the Titanic and will continue to sink. It's not going to come back for a very long time, if ever. What else is on NBC Daytime except 8 hours of The Today Show? CBS will keep Y&R and B&B on the air for a number of years. It appears they will survive longer than expected because they'll be the last soaps standing. If CBS plays their cards right, these shows will make them millions of dollars in profit for years to come. Overseas sales will also boost the bottom line. Maybe they'll pick up DAYS and those three will continue to shine for many more years. JMO. Log in to Reply booze26 January 30, 2012 B&B is already a gold mine for CBS.

When St. Jude Hospital opened its doors in 1962, Danny Thomas knew it was an important day. But, maybe no person would come to appreciate the timing of the opening of St. Jude like Dwight Tosh. After all, for Dwight, the 17th patient admitted to St. Jude, it meant hope to a boy who had been told he would die. Follow a family's story of love and possibility as you learn how Dwight comes to find his zest for life.

Kicker 102.5 and St. Jude would like to thank everyone for becoming a "Partner in Hope". We are drawing winners every hour from our "Partner in Hope" participants. Here are the winners for Thursday, February 24, 2011.
The St. Jude staff believes that hope is essential to life, and that hope can directly influence the well-being of pediatric patients. Hope can help patients make the best of difficult moments and make sense of having a serious illness. Dreams, wishes and goals point toward today or the future, and hope is what drives those thoughts. Without hope, each day can seem uncertain or even scary. Having hope, for themselves or others, helps children and teens cope with hardships.
The music community gathers to support the Grascals & Dolly Parton in raising awareness for childhood cancer.
Kicker 102.5 will be hosting the Country Cares for St. Jude Kid's Radiothon on February 24 & 25, 2011 from 6am to 6pm daily.

St. Jude Children Research Hospital has been actively involved in Radiothon fund-raising for more than 30 years. In fact, hundreds of radio stations across the country have helped raise more than $385 million for the life-saving work of St. Jude, and the St. Jude family of partner stations continues to expand.

Second Half Cold Stretch Leads to Loss at BLC
MANKATO, Minn. - The Martin Luther College men's basketball team held a second half lead, but a seven-minute cold stretch proved costly in a 79-67 loss to Bethany Lutheran College Tuesday night.
The Knights held a four-point lead at 54-50 with 10:31 to play following a Todd Brassow layup, but the Vikings would go on a 14-2 run over the next 7:07 to take an eight-point lead they would hold the rest of the way for the win.
During that stretch, the Knights went seven minutes without making a field goal, while BLC made two three-point field goals and four free throws to take and extend the lead.
MLC trailed 37-33 at the half, but Galen Holzhueter helped push the Knights ahead. Holzhueter started the game 1-5 from the field, but made his next seven shots to help give the Knights their four-point lead with just over ten minutes to play.
Luke Rothe tried to keep the Knights in the game following the Vikings' run, scoring nine points in the final 3:24, but it wouldn't be enough to catch BLC down the stretch as the Vikings held on for the win.
Holzhueter finished with a game-high 23 points to go with eight rebounds and four assists. Brassow and Rothe finished in double figures with 14 and 12 points, respectively. Rothe also added a team-high five assists and seven rebounds.
With the loss, MLC fell to 4-15 on the season and 3-5 in the UMAC, while BLC improved to 5-14 overall and 4-4 in league play with the win.
MLC will return to action on Friday, February 7, when it hosts Northland College. Game time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
