Top Manila Hotels
There are a few interesting Spanish colonial remnants in the capital and major ones can all be visited in less than a day. Most are churches which form the focal point of passionate worship for the predominantly Catholic population. Dating back to 1571, Intramuros, the walled city, marks the original capital. The seat of the Spanish colonial government, Intramuros still has some traces of European architecture in its reconstructed cobblestone streets. Some structures survived the ceaseless pummelling of WWII when much of it was reduced to rubble. Since restored and featuring a few interesting buildings, Intramuros is the only area of charm in Metro Manila and in cooler weather could be an enjoyable stroll.
Within Intramuros is the strategically important Fort Santiago, prison of Dr Jose Rizal who was executed by Spain for rebellion in 1896. Exhibits connected with the national hero are displayed within the Rizal Shrine. During the Japanese Occupation the photogenic Fort housed torture chambers where countless prisoners of war were killed.
Other buildings within Intramuros include the understandably mundane cathedral - destroyed and rebuilt five times, with the new version built in 1958, and Casa Manila, a furnished 19th century Spanish mansion complete with period antiques.
Outside the walled city is Rizal Park or Luneta, a great place to people-watch in relatively fume-free air. It is full of vendors, lovers, photographers, prostitutes, and faith healers. At 7.30 p.m. the park features a light and sound show of Rizal's execution. Rizal is buried at the Rizal Monument, the park's centrepiece.
Government buildings in the park's vicinity were built during the American Period at the turn of the last century and designed along classical lines. Among these are the Department of Tourism, where you can get copies of tourist brochures, and the newly refurbished National Museum which houses Filipino cultural, historical and natural artefacts and documents. Behind it, the Museum of the Philippine People is recommended for an overview of Philippine life and culture. Other museums in the area, Museo Pambata (Children's Museum) and Metropolitan Museum, are worth a quick look if you want something else to visit while in the area.
The Malacanang Palace, official residence of the Republic's President has a museum of presidential portraits and memorabilia along with other historical items. Interesting displays here used to be Imelda Marcos' infamous three thousand pairs of shoes, and other glimpses at how the dictator Ferdinand Marcos and family lived off the country's coffers in royal luxury. Otherwise the museum is somewhat boring unless Philippine history excites you.
The culturally inclined will appreciate the Cultural Centre of the Philippines in Pasay. This arts centre contains exhibition halls, museums and performing arts theatres.
Quiapo is not your regular tourist attraction but is definitely the district that has the most character. Famous landmark is the once-impressive baroque Quiapo Church, now just a dull cement building due to a well-meaning but badly-executed restoration. Lots to see here: Chinese and Muslim merchants manning all sorts of shops and stalls, Catholic devotees in fervent prayer, lines of fortune tellers near sidewalk stalls selling images of Catholic saints alongside folk talismans and Buddhist charms. The place is crowded, and some parts very seedy but if you fancy seeing Manila as the common folk know it and don't mind socialising with the hoi polloi, then Quiapo will give you a feel of the city you won't find in any museum.
Tourist Information Offices
Tourist Information Offices are located at Ninoy Aquino International Airport and in Rizal Park, close to the skating rink.
Entertainment and Eating Out
Lively Metro Manila lacks nothing when it comes to having a party. It's very much a night city brimming with bars, nightclubs, karaoke joints, discos, live music and pubs.
Although much of it has been cleaned up, only Bangkok can rival Metro Manila's liberal night scene. The freewheeling red light districts are centred mainly around Ermita, Malate and Pasay. The capital also has broad choice of cosmopolitan restaurants to suit all tastes and budgets and the food is generally good.
The tourist belt is loosely based around Ermita and Malate and offers many restaurants and bars that range from the hip and trendy to the downright sleazy. The area presents a very wide variety of cuisine: spiffy French and Spanish restaurants among traditional Chinese dim sum and noodle houses, as well as Indian, African and Mediterranean places. Some eateries in the area may look like holes-in-the-wall but can be surprising finds. Generally, a quick look at the clientele will tell you if the place is worth trying.
Chinatown's many tea and noodle houses may not look snazzy but the food is decent and the atmosphere is non-touristy. In Intramuros, the established Ilustrado is an excellent restaurant that serves Spanish and Filipino cuisine. Superb dining is also available in top hotels in the Makati and Malate areas.
In the upmarket business district of Makati, Glorietta, Greenbelt, The Fort and Rockwell Centre are the fashionable places for entertainment, dining and shopping. Jupiter Street has a considerable number of good quality restaurants and bars, and the area along Makati Avenue, Kalayaan and P Burgos streets are dotted with nightclubs.
A twenty minute drive away, El Pueblo and the Strip in Ortigas Centre, Mandaluyong are lively places at night, with coffee shops and bars filled to the brim on weekend nights.
In Quezon City, the tourist hub is centred around Tomas Morato Avenue. The street is literally lined with familiar international franchises as well as stylish local bars and restaurants which serve cuisine almost as varied as that in Malate. Mama Rosa, located right beside the street's roundabout serves local dishes in a refreshingly non-traditional atmosphere. Nearby West and Timog Avenues are also known for their restaurants and bars.
The city's newest happening spot is Eastwood City in Libis, Quezon City. The commercial complex has more than its fair share of up-and-coming restaurants, but it's best to be picky as some can disappoint. The bars and clubs in the Libis area are mostly frequented by the young, sophisticated college set.
The ubiquitous fish-ball hawker stands are fixtures in almost every city street. They sell fried balls of all sorts - squid, fish chicken, etc - skewered onto barbeque sticks. Some also sell hard-boiled eggs fried in batter and banana-cues, fried bananas coated with caramelised sugar. At night, they're joined by stalls that sell barbequed innards. Safety is uncertain, but if you must try these stick to the franchised stalls.

Manila Travellers Tales
I would recommend to go Greenbelt for meal, Lndmark and Glorietta for shopping and Sanry''s for money exchange.
Restaurant: Harbour View on the Pier!!!! Outstanding food - a different experience (and we went three times!!!!) Fed 9 people for the equivalent of $100.00 USD!!!!! And everyone was stuffed like a Christmas goose with everything from Female Crab (and I never knew that there was any ''significant'' difference (more meat on the female) to Steaks to Veggie favorites. It is not a fancy place and it is somewhat slow for service... But the price, the food and the experience - it can not be beat in Manila for family dining!!! Unless you are under 5 feet, stay away from the Jeepneys and the trikes...Metered taxis (or if you stay at the Copa, the associated taxi/limos) are the way to go. It is actually much nicer and not all that more expensive to take the taxi/limo from the Copa to your destination and HAVE THE DRIVER WAIT for you for other destinations or the return to the hotel. 9/10 times, picking up a cab at the location and trying to get back to the hotel can be hair-raising and expensive not to mention time consuming while the driver tries to find the hotel. ( You will see some interesting things though!!!) CAUTION: The best drug store in Manila is the chain Mercury... BUT - they require a prescription for EVERYTHING including what is an over-the-counter item anywhere else in the world. And - they sell by the tablet - not by the bottle or box. You can find some smaller drug stores that will sell w/o but they do not always have what your are looking for. BEST: BRING ENOUGH OF YOUR PRESCRIPTION and non-prescription items with you for your stay. It is best not to have to rely on the local outlets for your needs.
Moving around Manila by car was not a bad experience this time. The roads got better, less traffic jams, rental car was good idea, especially if you are traveling with family. But this is of course if you do not mind driving and you have driven in Philippines before.
Metro Manila is quite and interesting place with and interesting mixture friendly people. People who are shopping oriented can find most of anything they need. People like myself who like to sample various ethnic foods, will find this city rewarding. I enjoyed my trips to Baguio,Cabanatuan and Tagaytay learning some of the cultural aspects. On my next visit, I promise myself a trip to Boracay.
In Makati at Glorietta--try the Cabalen restaurant--filipino buffet for only 260 pesos--good food. In Boracay, there''s Jona''s shake. And while in Boracay, stay at Escondido, though not a beachfront hotel, is one of the best kept secrets in the island...Find out for yourself why.
We visited Ilocos Sur and Ilocos Norte. We stayed at the Vigan Plaza Hotel in Ilocos Sur. Very beautiful Hotel and great location. Highly recommend. We also visited Baguio. Be wary of people offering homes for rent. We were offered a 3 bedroom house for 5,000 pesos. We later found out it was an agent and the actual cost of the house was only 2,700 pesos! I would recommend staying at a hotel. Never will we do that again!
Bay Walk in Ermita was nice on a warm summer night. This was a "locals" destination so we got a good feel for the local nightlife instead of the touristy area.
Jeepney is most economical means of transportation. Negotiate taxi rates in advance,else you may be taken for a ride. I actually ate cooked food at corner stands without a problem. I liked it, even after I found out I was eating pig intestine.
We were fortunate enough to go to the rice fields at Banaue as well as Pagsanjan Falls which I would also recommend and last year took in Baguio City and Boracay. Only the best and strongest minded drivers should attempt to rent a car and drive in Manila but Makati is fair once you understand the filipino way of driving.
Lake Taal was an incredible place to visit. It is located in Cavite towards Laguna so accessiblity from Manila was easy. The scenery was breath taking. The climate was cool and pleasant because of the higher elevation. This volcano within a lake is a must see. The restaurants that overlook this panoramic view are all excellent as the serve traditional to modern cuisine. This was the culminating point of our trip. Every picture we took developed into a picture perfect postcard.

Stopped by on our way out of town hoping others had swapped some since Wed pm. Yes, we score! And They Geocached/Lived/Loved/Marched/Wrestled Happily Ever~after. There was a huge back-up on I94 by Tomah so we took the backroads home and barely made it it time for the West Bend Christmas Parade. Swapped another 6. While I (TAmi) was swapping them, Dane and Wade were wrestling in the road when an unmarked sheriff pulls-up thinking he needed to intervene. After Wade told him they were just "playing" the sheriff told them they could continue but wrestle off the road .

Wildlife artist J. Suroviec incorporates this Mail Pouch Barn era into his own works and remembers as a child seeing the barns. His roots in Northwestern Pennsylvania came into play recently when he took some of the barns and incorporated his own brand of wildlife artwork into the old barns. Joe said," I see the old ghosted out barns in the countryside and remember a time when they were freshly painted. "Now the barns are usually a remembrance of a time passed. Many have fallen into a state of severe disrepair" and some have even collapsed from age". "I wanted to take my artwork and incorporate these old barns into it to remind people of that time gone by and to sort of re connect with those who remember these barns and where they themselves were at in their own lives when they saw their first Mail Pouch Barn".
"The old barns are now an important wildlife haven as wildlife has adapted more to living together with man these days out of sheer necessity". " From red-tailed hawks who nest behind old roadside billboards to barn owls, raccoons, possums, skunks, deer and a host of other birds and animals, these old barns are an important part of our own history and provide a much needed respite for our native wildlife who has to deal with their own shrinking natural areas in which they have to survive".

Moral Choice Amendment Blocked by Senate
Moral Choice Amendment Blocked by Senate
The U.S. Senate voted last Thursday against an amendment to a transportation bill that would have allowed health care providers to opt out of offering services they find morally objectionable.
The bill was sponsored by Missouri Sen. Roy Blunt after recent objections by the Catholic Church to requirements under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) that the church provide contraceptive services through its extensive medical facilities. The Fiscal Times reports that the Catholic Church accounts for about 15 percent of all U.S. hospitals:
The Catholic Church has perhaps the most extensive private health-care delivery system in the nation. It operates 12.6 percent of hospitals in the U.S., according to the Catholic Health Association of the U.S., accounting for 15.6 percent of all admissions and 14.5 percent of all hospital expenses, a total for Catholic hospitals in 2010 of $98.6 billion.
In a message to parishioners last week, Francis Cardinal George, Chicago's ranking Catholic, indicated he would shut down the church's medical facilities rather than violate the core doctrine of the church. A loss of the church's medical facilities would create a $100 billion nightmare for the federal government. About 30 percent of the church's hospital admissions are Medicare and Medicaid patients.
The Blunt Amendment would have allowed the Catholic Church and other faith-based groups offering health insurance or medical services to opt out of providing a wide variety of medical services, including various prenatal screenings, diagnostic tests and vaccinations.
"This issue will not go away unless the administration decides to take it away," Blunt told the Chicago Tribune. As we reported here last week, seven states have sued the federal government over the contraception provisions of the ACA.
The debate over contraception is just the tip of the iceberg. The ACA requires the federal government to establish one national standard of health care, trampling over the interests of individual states, private parties, religious institutions and other major players.

Booklife and Booklifenow: The Search for Balance in a Writer's Life
This fall and winter I'll be touring behind my novel Finch and my new writer's manual Booklife: Strategies and Survival Tips for the 21st-Century Writer, just out this week and accompanied by the roll-out of a new website for writers, Booklifenow. Highlights include stops at MIT and the Library of Congress, among over 30 events. (I'll be reporting on my adventures periodically right here on Omnivoracious.)
Booklife is a little unusual because it isn't a book on craft and it's not a book on career exactly, either. I often describe it as being about living a sustainable writer's life--creativity and career--in the age of new media. In addition to discussing the actions you can take to gain visibility for your work, Booklife takes on issues like envy, despair, rejection, and success from the perspective of working in an environment irrevocably changed by the rise of the Internet.
You'll also find information about new media tools in the book, but the focus isn't on the tools themselves. Why? Because the biggest problem facing most writers today is that they are operating on a tactical, not a strategic, level.
Writes get on Facebook or Twitter and they mistake the tool for a strategy, and they wind up chasing their tails. In fact, the most successful writers of the future may be the ones that don't allow such fragmentation to occur--who are able to take the long view career-wise, and stop responding in Pavlovian fashion to our current need for that little food pellet in the form of a response to blog entry, Twitter line, or a Facebook status message change. Along with that, there tends to be a bleed between your Public and Private Booklife that can ultimately damage the depth and ambition in your writing. So, Booklife both sets out the options in this brave new world so you can take advantage of them, and delineates the dangers versus rewards of certain actions.
As for the future of the books industry, and thus the future of writers, we really know only a few things: (1) pulp is being at least partially replaced by the electronic, (2) individual home-grown content providers are supplanting the established "professional" hierarchy, (3) authors will have more control over their public persona/profile (and therefore carry more risk), and (4) that we cannot really predict what will happen in the next five minutes let alone the next five years.
In this environment, I do think certain qualities will serve writers well: the vision to see five or six moves ahead; the adaptability to stop on a dime and reverse direction as necessary; the mental toughness to take risks while maintaining a safety net; being brutally honest about yourself and your work; and the centeredness not to panic in times of uncertainty. But the most important thing will always be: create something unique and from the heart.
As I tour the country in November and December, I'll make sure to not just report back on my experiences, but on how others perceive the future of the book. (More next week about the tour and my coverage here.)

Create your own special keepsake with the Cast In Time Home Imprint Kit! An ideal gift for parents, grandparents, birthdays, christenings and new arrivals.
Cast In Time has produced an easy-to-use Imprint Kit with specially formulated soft and safe imprint dough. You can obtain imprints of your delicate little one's hand or feet, capturing a most treasured moment in time.
The Imprint Dough is non-toxic and is especially formulated to be much softer than clay. There is no baking involved, this dough is air drying.
The product is excellent and well built. It looks more expensive than the RRP. It is a little hard to get the hand cast done if you have a small child as the wriggle about, however, if they are a little older then you should have no problems.
Product was easy to use, i received it quickly too. My use was for my old pooch, to create a lovely memory of him and it works well.
Great service great product home imprint set
This product seemed a great for baby's first Christmas. Only downside is that it wasn't till I read the back of the box I realised it was unisex and contains a pink and blue background - don't let the picture think its for girls only! I was very impressed with the delivery options, delivery information. The customer service was superb; very prompt, efficient and helpful.
This was very easy to use. The "clay" (white stuff, whatever it is!) was very soft and didn't need to microwave it. You do need to press a bit firmly, but I did it with my 8 weeks old daughter and didn't have any problem. I think it's best to do it when they're asleep, otherwise it might be difficult to get a good imprint of the hands. When dry, it doesn't go completely hard as I was expecting. It's more like "firm spongy rubber" :)

Value for moneySubmitted by: Travel Library User in 27/04/08
- Age Group: 31 - 40

The hotel is located close to the main Ikebukuro JR line but at a much less hectic area. The room has a small fridge under the table, a 24" widescreen TV, internal telephone, a hot water cup heater, hair dryer and internet which requires a LAN cable. No English channels on TV but there are 2 channels which kids should not watch. They can be disabled. They do have wireless internet but I was too lazy to the configurations. The rooms are not too big and not too small. The rooms with the best view are double and twin rooms while the single rooms are facing a next buildng wall. The bathrooms are clean and dry. They do room cleaning everyday. There is a grocery store next door and more all around the place. The hotel reception speaks some English but not too fluent. You have a choice of Japanese breakfast or Western breakfast.

text: Australian GP boss to retire if Ecclestone steps down 28 November, 2012 Nov.28 (GMM) Australian Grand Prix boss Ron Walker has promised to step down if F1 chief executive Bernie Ecclestone is no longer in charge of F1. Embroiled in the ever-deepening Gerhard Gribkowsky corruption scandal, Ecclestone warned last week that his demise could cost the sport several key races. "A few [race promoters] said to me, 'if you're not there, we're not there'," Ecclestone said. "That's what the danger is." Walker, the chief of the Melbourne race promoter Australian Grand Prix Corporation and a long-time Ecclestone ally, is the first to put his hand up. "When Bernie retires, then I will retire as well; and a number of other longstanding promoters that have been friends of Bernie's will also," he told F1 business journalist Christian Sylt, published in Autoweek. Walker clarified that the promoter exodus would not necessarily mean that those countries lose their grands prix. But he added: "When Bernie goes, F1 will change. You won't recognise the sport after Bernie goes because he has done it in his own way as unique as he can." Subbed by AJN.

New Horizons STEM in your Unit
STEM Resources list for Cub Scouts
The Boy Scouts of America's NOVA Awards program incorporates learning with cool activities and exposure to science, technology, engineering and mathematics for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers. The hope is that the requirements and activities for earning these awards stimulates interest in STEM-related fields and shows how science, technology, engineering and mathematics apply to everyday living and the world around them. Counselors and mentors help bring this engaging, contemporary, and fun program to life for youth members.
There are four Nova awards for Cub Scouts, Webelos Scouts, Boy Scouts, and Venturers. Each award covers one component of STEM—science, technology, engineering, or mathematics.
For their first Nova award, Scouts earn the distinctive Nova award patch. After that, a Scout can earn three more Nova awards, each one recognized with a separate pi (p) pin-on device that attaches to the patch. The patch and the three devices represent each of the four STEM topics—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The Supernova awards have more rigorous requirements than the Nova awards. The requirements and activities were designed to motivate youth and recognize more in-depth, advanced achievement in STEM-related activities.
For Wolf and Bear Cub Scouts:
Dr. Louis Alvarez Supernova Award
For Webelos Scouts:
Dr. Charles H. Townes Supernova Award
For Boy Scouts:
Dr. Bernard Harris Supernova Bronze Award Thomas Edison Supernova Silver Award
For Venturers:
Dr. Sally Ride Supernova Bronze Award Wright Brothers Supernova Silver Award Dr. Albert Einstein Supernova Gold Award
For earning the Supernova award, Scouts receive a medal and certificate.
All requirements may be found in the Nova awards guidebooks, available through local Scout shops—one for Cub Scouts, one for Boy Scouts, and one for Venturers. The requirements can be completed with a parent or an adult leader as the counselor (for the Nova awards) or mentor (for the Supernova awards). Each guidebook includes a section for the counselor and mentor.

The Detroit Lions re-signed Calvin Johnson to an eight-year contract that they said is worth close to $130 million and makes him the highest-paid wide receiver in National Football League history.
The National Football League will review the rule on catches in the end zone that cost Calvin Johnson of the Detroit Lions a possible game-winning touchdown during the first week of this season.

Trying to live a life that follows the reduce, reuse and recycle motto can be difficult at times. You recycle your bottles, you switch to a reusable water bottle, you pay your bills online, but every single week you open your mailbox and what's there? Junk mail!
Here is an adorable craft on how to put that junk mail to good use by making junk mail recycled seed paper!
- A stack of unwanted junkmail (Make sure to remove plastic, fake credit cards, or any other material that is not paper.)
- 8 popsicle sticks
- screen material (you can get this from a hardware store or hobby shop)
- hot glue gun
- pack of wildflower seeds
- cinnamon
- warm water
- blender
- shallow wide pan
- cookie sheet
- stamp pad
- fun stamps
First you are going to want to make your screen. Take four of your popsicle sticks and hot glue the ends to one another.
Place the screen on top of the popsicle sticks and hot glue the remaining for popsicle sticks on the other side, gluing the screen between the two frames.
Trim the screen down and cover the popsicle sticks and frame with electrical tape.
You have now created your screen frame!
Next you are going to make your paper!
Rip your junk mail into about ½-1 inch squares.
Put all of your ripped up junk mail into your blender and add warm water just so that it reaches the top of the paper.
Blend up until the consistency looks something like grist or oatmeal.
Take your big shallow pan and add warm water.
You want to scoop the shredded junk mail into the pan with warm water and mix in until it is a soupy thickness.
You can now add a few dashes of cinnamon and also add your wildflower seeds.
Holding your screen frame about the pan, scoop on the mixed up junk mail concoction until you have filled the square, making sure there are no huge gaps between the paper particles so it will make one sheet that will not crumble.
Carefully and quickly flip your screen frame onto a towel and before you remove your frame, dab the extra water off with a hand towel or washcloth.
Let your wet paper sit for a few minutes and then carefully fold the towel onto your hand, leaving the wet paper in your palm. (If you mess up and the paper rips, don't worry! Just toss it back in the pan with warm water and screen it again!)
Set your wet paper onto a cookie sheet and let dry over night.
In the morning your seed paper should be all dried!
You can now cut your seed paper into pieces, or, like I did, rip it into pieces to keep the organic looking rough edges.
Take your favorite stamps and decorate your seed paper.
I sent my seed paper to my friends all over the U.S. and told them they could use them as bookmarks, artwork, etc. But when they are all finished with the seed paper, rip it into pieces and plant into the ground 2-4 inches apart and they have just planted wildflowers!
Speaking of rocking my world… have you entered our Nice Job Mom: We Rock Contest yet? You get a chance to see Sara Bareilles live in a VIP concert experience and we will be donating $50,000 towards a school's music program of your choice! Make sure to read here for more details.

Quantitative Analysis Reports
Medicaid Expansion Would Lighten Spending Burden
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
As many as 40 percent of the nation's 1.3 million uninsured veterans could qualify for Medicaid under provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a new analysis suggests. Whether veterans receive these benefits depends on which states opt to expand Medicaid.
Despite the far-reaching Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), large numbers of low-income uninsured adults won't be eligible because of their immigration status. This brief provides the first state-specific estimates of the number of uninsured low-income adults who fall into that category.
Fifty-five percent of the public say establishing the exchanges is a "top priority," according to a survey released by RWJF, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Harvard School of Public Health.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation, hospitals will likely gain $2.59 in new revenue from Medicaid participants for every dollar lost from private health insurance revenue.

I have been using Reminder Call for six months in my practice.
Prior to that we did all of our calls manually.
The savings from Reminder Call come from having to not do any sort of mailing whatsoever. Postage continues to up. I think it just went up last week a few cents.
We have very few no shows in this practice right now.
Everyone shows up and our patients are busy like everyone else and they liked the call. They like a reminder. They'll tell me often, I'm so glad you guys had that service. I nearly forgot my appointment. They appreciate the reminder and they also appreciate that when they get that call they have the ability to cancel the appointment or reschedule the appointment right there on their cell phone or at dinner and that's a very convenient bonus for them, to not have to worry about contacting the office the next day.
So it has saved money again in terms of just freeing up time for the staff to be working at our AR or looking at their buckets or just doing things that they should be doing instead of wasting time, which I think is calling people up and saying you have an appointment, it's using technology for actually a good benefit.
Now it's linked in with athena so we can clearly see that the patient was contacted, how they were contacted on the screen when we open our daily flow and that's a bonus for us because we know how the day is going to go. Our patients are very pleased with it and we are too.

Dismantling public schools will hurt the poor the most
Politicians make decisions based upon beliefs instead of taking the time to listen to educators, who are the experts, or study research the subject of the effects of poverty on learning. Many of our best teachers quit because they are beaten down by bad working conditions, low pay and lack of support. Our public school system is being dismantled in favor of for-profit charter schools. The Indiana voucher system still requires some monetary payment from parents. Those students in the poorest neighborhoods will not have the ability pay nor to get across town to some charter school with a fancy name.
Researcher Clancy Blair of New York University has an article published in "Scientific American Mind" September/October 2012 entitled "Stress Relief Can Be the Key to Success in School." He states, "Stress may be silently sabotaging success in school. Its effects are especially potent for children in poverty ... The stresses of poverty—such as crowded conditions, financial worry and lack of adequate child care—lead to impaired learning ability in children from impoverished backgrounds ... The theory is based on years of studies matching stress hormone levels to behavioral and school readiness test results in children from impoverished backgrounds." This pattern which is being carried across the U.S. will only lead to a two-tier educational system. The poor and most needy will be left behind and forgotten.

Trash is responsibility of Merrillville, not store's
I have a problem with the suggestion from Joseph Garcia regarding all the trash along Merrillville Road. This trash extends at least a mile down the road from Meijer. If Meijer cleans around their store, that is sufficient. Don't expect them to send out a cleaning crew to clear this truck load of trash. That's the obligation of the town of Merrillville.
People have been complaining or a long time and Merrillville has done nothing. The trash is a poor reflection on all of the people in the area. Let's put the responsibility where it belongs and hope Merrillville fulfills it's obligation to the community.

Putting guns in schools won't make them safer
It looks like the NRA has won another one! The NRA has sold some more guns and ammo! A newly-passed Indiana law requires somebody, the principal, the janitor, a volunteer mom, to pack a gun for the protection of our schooled children. I just don't see how schools can be safe pitting guns against guns. What about children's recesses on outdoor playgrounds? What about private preschools? Are parochial schools required to have gun protection? Will my church Sunday School require gun protection — or should we just trust God?

Global X SuperDividend ETF (SDIV) Reaches $100MM In Assets
Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. International investing may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuations in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles, or from economic or political instability in other nations. Narrowly focused investments may be subject to higher volatility. Diversification does not prevent all investment losses. High yielding stocks are often speculative, high risk investments. These companies can be paying out more than they can support and may reduce their dividends or stop paying dividends at any time, which could have a material adverse effect on the stock price of these companies and the Fund's performance. Increasing dividend yield may be indicative of decreasing value of the underlying holdings.
Carefully consider the Funds' investment objectives, risk factors, charges, and expenses before investing. This and additional information can be found in the Funds' prospectus, which may be obtained by calling 1-888-GX-FUND-1 (1.888.493.8631), or by visiting www.globalxfunds.com.

Hollywood Walk of Fame administrators made an oopsie when they dissed reality TV stars on their Facebook page. On Monday they posted, "Someone asked if we give reality show characters stars? Hell to the No!"
But what they probably didn't realize is that the phrase "hell to the no" was coined in 2005 by Whitney Houston on the reality TV show Being Bobby Brown. The term was even nominated for a VH1 "Big in 05″quote of the year.
While the Walk of Fame snobs ignore reality TV, the genre continues to score high ratings, bring in big profits, and impact our culture. Is Hollywood afraid of Kim Kardashian and Snooki? Hell to the yes.

Tigers trade Prince Fielder for Rangers 2B Ian Kinsler
Updated On: Nov 20 2013 10:46:48 PM EST
The Detroit Tigers and Texas Rangers have agreed to trade Prince Fielder for Ian Kinsler and cash considerations.
More details of the trade are yet to be confirmed.
"We are fortunate to be in a position to acquire a quality and proven player in Ian Kinsler," said David Dombrowski, Tigers president, CEO and general manager. "Ian is an All-Star caliber talent who provides our lineup with a top of the order bat and has been a solid defensive performer at second base. The Tigers organization thanks Prince Fielder for his contributions to our ballclub for the past two seasons and we wish him all the best in the future."
Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander tweeted the news Wednesday night.
"Wow!!! Big news... We traded Prince Fielder for Ian Kinsler."
The Tigers signed Fielder in 2012 on a $214 million contract over nine years. He was part of two American League Championship teams.
Kinsler has been with the Rangers since 2006. He just finished the first season of his $75 million, 5-year contract with the Rangers.
CBSSports.com was first to report the trade.
Here is a look back at when the Tigers signed Fielder:

Uniform Insignia Placement
Wear them with pride!
It's fun to collect and wear badges, patches, awards and other insignia for your accomplishments in Girl Scouts. Your friends and family will see them and know that you have worked hard.
Official pins and awards are worn on the required tunic, sash or vest for each Girl Scout level. These should be worn whenever a Girl Scout participates in a ceremony or is officially representing the Girl Scout Movement.
Not sure where to place badges and pins on your uniform? GSUSA's guidelines can show you where each insignia, pin and badge is located for each level of Girl Scouting.
All your badges, awards and insignia are available in the GSSN Shop, including a great selection of fun patches!
General Uniform Guidelines:
For girls ages 5-14, the unifying look includes wearing a choice of a tunic, vest or sash for displaying official pins and awards, combined with their own solid white shirts and khaki pants or skirts. Girl Scouts in grades K-3 will continue to have a full uniform ensemble available.
Girl Scouts in high school can also wear a scarf that unites their look with the sisterhood of Girl Scouts around the world.
For adult members the unifying look of the uniform is a Girl Scout official scarf or tie for men, worn with the official membership pins, combined with their own navy blue business attire.
Girl Scout badges, patches, awards and other insignia should only be presented, worn or displayed after Girl Scouts have completed the required steps as outlined in GSUSA program material.
The GSUSA National Board Girl Scout uniform policy reflects the changing needs of our members and transformation of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

Trying to Coneive: Can Low Estrogen Levels Affect Ovulation and Fertility?
What role does estrogen play in the first half of your cycle prior to ovulation? Can low estrogen levels affect whether or not you will conceive?Question:
Most definitely, estrogen plays a role in fertility. Estrogen is the dominant hormone in the first half of the menstrual cycle and continues to play a part throughout the second half as well.
Review the pregnancy calendar for the exact role of all the hormones.
If a woman is deficient in estrogen, as she may be during perimenopausal period, symptoms such as hot flashes, headaches, night sweats and vaginal dryness may occur. If estrogen is low, the normal feedback mechanisms of the hypothalmus and pituitary do not function. The lining of the uterus is scant and not hospitable to a pregnancy. Ovulation may not occur at all.
Natural remedies such as tofu, dong quai and yams have some estrogenic qualities, but there has not been much medical literature published on their benefits.
If you suspect an infertility problem, I would recommend that you start noting cervical mucus changes, taking your basal body temperature and noting cervical position changes. Such information is provided in a book called "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. It is an excellent resource.
I wish you well and do seek expert help if you suspect a problem.
[Editor's Note: Taking Charge of Your Fertility is available for purchase online at Amazon.com. For more information or to order the book, click on the link in the book title.]

Robin Thicke And Paula Patton To Separate
Blurred Lines singer Robin Thicke and actress Paula Patton have announced they are to separate after nearly 10 years of marriage.
Thicke, 36, and Patton, 38, met when they were teenagers and married in 2005. They have a son, Julian, who was born in 2010.
"We will always love each other and be best friends, however, we have mutually decided to separate at this time," the couple said in a joint statement.
Thicke had a breakthrough last year with the international hit Blurred Lines, which was nominated for several Grammy awards.
The couple were pictured together on the red carpet at the ceremony last month.
His raunchy performance of the track with a twerking Miley Cyrus at the MTV Video Music Awards caused a sensation last August.
The video for the song was deemed too sexy for YouTube and was criticised by some for objectifying women.
Patton has appeared in the films Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, Idlewild, and Precious, which was based on the novel Push by Sapphire.
She also appeared in Thicke's music videos, including Lost Without U and Love After War.

Bork has taken again to his high horse and to his Olympian intonation
to defend the crazy antitrust prosecution of Microsoft. In a recent
letter to the Wall Street Journal (March 9), Bork castigates
severely those economists who doubt his claim that Microsoft employed
"predatory" pricing in the browser wars to drive Netscape
from the market and thereby misallocate economic resources.
pricing assumes that a larger firm can lower market prices to drive
out rivals and then raise prices to consumers and thus enjoy a monopoly
return. But there are two important problems with this notion. The
first is that the theory makes little economic sense, as Robert
Bork once acknowledged himself in his intelligent classic, The
Antitrust Paradox (1978). But, unfortunately, the current
Robert Bork – a hired gun for ProComp, a group of Microsoft's
severest critics – now swallows this flaky theory entirely
and wants Microsoft dismembered for lowering prices to consumers.
in economics is a complete misnomer, designed by antitrust enthusiasts
to make business rivalry equivalent to some jungle tiger pulling
down the weakest wart-hog. Total nonsense. So-called predatory pricing
is just competitive pricing, plain and simple, and consumers benefit
from it enormously. Relevant to the current litigation, Netscape
held a near-monopoly in Net browsers and charged PC users for their
use. Microsoft entered the market and effectively lowered the market
price of browsers to zero, conferring great benefits on Net users.
And that is where we are today. ( And the Netscape browser, far
from disappearing, is still downloaded by millions of PC users.)
Is there anyone on the planet, aside from Robert Bork and Pro Com,
that believes that the current situation "misallocates resources"
or that it is credible to believe that Microsoft could somehow raise
prices and wipe out all past and current consumer benefits? Yet
the entire antitrust rationale for prosecuting Microsoft rests on
this shabby impossibility. Shame, shame.
second problem with the predation notion is the absolute dearth
of historical examples. Bork implies in his letter to the WSJ that
there are many examples in business history that support his position.
But aside from mentioning sham litigation, he cites exactly NONE.
Yet if there are nearly none, the clear implication is that while
prices may be competed downward during the so-called predatory process,
they are almost NEVER increased to consumers to recoup any lost
profits. And if "predators" don't raise prices, if prices
stay low due to open markets and competition, then the entire rationale
for antitrust enforcement evaporates into the Borkian ether. Indeed,
if antitrust itself stifles the process by legally attacking low
prices, then antitrust itself becomes part of the monopoly problem
and not part of any solution. Again, shame, shame.
Robert Bork know all of this? I dare say that he does. He says as
much and more about phony predatory notions and ill-advised antitrust
enforcement in his 1978 book. Why, then, his sudden love affair
with a discredited pricing theory, his unrelenting attack on Microsoft,
and his selective amnesia over the predatory nature of antitrust
enforcement itself? I can't know for sure but as an economist I'm
programmed to speculate that incentives, monetary and otherwise,
tend to explain behavior.
