A new start in Ottawa colored by challenges
By DOUG CARDER, Herald Senior Writer | 2/26/2014
Richard Jackson discovered he couldn't get a haircut when he arrived in Ottawa in 1964 to attend Ottawa University.
Not because he couldn't afford it. No barber would cut his hair because he was black, Jackson said.
"It was a culture shock, being from Rochester, N.Y., where my neighborhood was bigger than the [Ottawa] community," Jackson said. "My freshman year there were 10 to 12 African-Americans [on campus, 1001 S. Cedar St.]. There was no place to get your hair cut, so the university brought in a barber from Lawrence to cut our hair about once a month at Tauy Jones Hall. It was quite an adjustment moving from a town where there was a large African-American population to a much smaller [black] community in Ottawa."
But Jackson adapted well to life in Ottawa and eventually became the city's first black mayor, serving four terms in that office between the mid-1990s and mid-2000s.
Jackson, chief executive officer of the social agency East Central Kansas Economic Opportunity Corp., 1320 S. Ash St., Ottawa, reflected Wednesday on the local black community as the nation observes Black History Month in February. Jackson was part of a small group that formed the Ottawa Black Awareness Committee, which has been promoting a Martin Luther King Jr. essay contest since the mid-1980s in honor of the slain civil rights leader.
"Cultural [diversity] is not a weakness — it's a strength of the community," Jackson said. "I have people ask me why we need a Black History Month, because there's not a special month honoring whites or Italians. I think everybody's culture is important, and they all contribute to the success of the community. I think we all need to celebrate that."
For a group of 11 freed slaves, arriving in Franklin County was a cause for guarded celebration in 1858.
"One of the most significant events with the Underground Railroad was when [slavery abolitionist] John Brown came back from the East Coast in '58 and freed 11 slaves in Vernon County, Mo., [near Fort Scott, Kan.]," Deb Barker, Franklin County Historical Society executive director, said. "They spent a very, very cold December in a cabin in Franklin County, close to the Anderson County border."
The group was spirited away to a deserted cabin on a little hilltop now known as Paradise Hill, Barker said. Because slave-catchers were thick as thieves in the area, Barker said, the 11-member group was not allowed to burn fires during the daylight hours, with night-time fires providing brief warmth.
"A baby was born in the cabin, which is almost unimaginable given the horrific [winter] conditions," Barker said. "John Brown showed up a month later and took them to Canada. They named the baby John Brown Daniels."
But some freed slaves migrated to Franklin County where they established farmsteads in the 1860s and 1870s, Barker said.
A son of slaves freed from a farm in 1863 in Howard County, Mo., John "Bud" Wilson settled in Ottawa as a blacksmith. From those humble beginnings, Wilson went on to become one of the most influential and well-respected men in the community, according to historical accounts.
"Bud Wilson was the youngest child of a family leaving Missouri to flee slavery," Barker said. "He was the only child not born into slavery. He started a blacksmithing business. He was very religious and insisted that his children all attend school and Sunday school. The accomplishments of his children are simply not to be believed in any family of any circumstances."
Bud and Bertha Wilson's son, John Leod Wilson, was one of the first black youths to graduate from Ottawa High School in 1919, Barker said. He earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry from Kansas State University in 1923 and a master's degree in organic chemistry from the University of Kansas in 1933. Also earning a doctorate degree from the University of Indiana in 1957, Wilson served as a professor at Southern University, Baton Rouge, La., Savannah State College, Savannah, Ga., and St. Augustine College, Miami. He also served as academic dean at the University of Arkansas-Pine Bluffs and was inducted onto the OHS Wall of Honor in 1997. Wilson returned to Ottawa late in life where he spent his final years until he died in 1998, Barker said.
Brothers Claude Wilson and Lloyd Harold Wilson also earned college degrees and taught at several universities. Claude Wilson also earned a doctorate degree and served as dean of the School of Engineering at Prairie View A and M, Prairie View, Texas, for nearly two decades in the 1940s and 1950s. Cozetta Z. Wilson earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Kansas and taught at the Tuskegee Institute in Tuskegee, Ala., and later became the art therapy instructor at the Veterans Administration hospital in Tuskegee.
When Bud Wilson died in 1952, he had amassed a tidy sum for the times of $50,000 and owned numerous rental properties throughout Ottawa, Barker said. The Western Union office in Ottawa reportedly experienced its busiest day on record when condolence telegrams flooded in from throughout the region upon Wilson's death, according to historic accounts.
Elijah Tinnon might have been one of the best known early black figures in Ottawa's history for his fight to desegregate Ottawa schools. The segregation of schools went back and forth during the 1860s to 1880s, depending on who was on the school board, Barker said.
Tinnon filed a lawsuit in 1881 against the Ottawa school board in an attempt to get them to desegregate Ottawa schools, where his son, Leslie, attended.
The case, Leslie Tinnon vs. The Ottawa Board of Education, went before the Kansas Supreme Court, which upheld a lower court ruling that ordered Ottawa to desegregate its schools. The majority opinion in the case was written by Supreme Court Justice Daniel M. Valentine, an Ottawan. But the school board ignored the high court's ruling and the segregation practice continued, Barker said.
Though some historians considered it a forerunner to Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka in 1954 — some 70 years later — the case was significant, Barker said, because it was one of the first to cite the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, adopted in 1868, to address rights and equal protection of the laws. The amendment was proposed in relation to treatment of former slaves following the Civil War.
"It's always mentioned because of the 14th Amendment being used, but it didn't impact people physically because the school board ignored the [state Supreme Court] ruling, and no one was moved around," Barker said. "The community was building neighborhood schools, or schools in each [voting] ward, and blacks lived primarily in two wards on the north side and on the far east side in what was called the [river] bottoms east of Cherry Street. Those ward schools accommodated almost all of the black kids."
The community couldn't build schools fast enough in the 1870s and 1880s as the town's population swelled after the Civil War, Barker said.
"There were massive groups of black people, called Exodusters, in the 1880s [from the South]," Barker said. "That's when Franklin County's black population was the largest."
Franklin County's black population in 1880 was listed at 860, according to U.S. Census data. By contrast, the county's black population had dwindled to 280 by 1990. The 2010 census showed black residents comprised 2.2 percent of the county's population.
Two Ottawa churches served the black community from the beginning, Barker said. The Bethany Chapel Baptist Church was established in 1867, followed by the St. Paul African Methodist Episcopalian Church in 1869.
Bethany Chapel Baptist Church, still in existence today, has played a vital role in the community's history, former mayor Jackson said.
"Bethany Chapel is one of the oldest churches in the county and has a rich African-American history," Jackson said. "I believe it was founded by 12 descendants of slaves and in the history annals there is mention of one Sunday when 200 people were baptized in the Marais des Cygnes River."
Jackson and fellow Ottawa University graduate Joe Wakefield were among a small group that established the Ottawa Black Awareness Committee in 1984 to promote the history of the local black community and to raise funds to benefit local organizations and schools. Jackson credited Wakefield, who died Feb. 21 in Topeka at age 86, with his hard work in advancing cultural competency in the community.
In addition to the annual Martin Luther King Day celebration and essay contest, the Black Awareness Committee has brought in speakers to enlighten residents about black history in the local community, the state and nation. The committee brought a group of Buffalo Soldier re-enactors to Ottawa elementary schools to talk about the history of that U.S. Army regiment of black soldiers. The regiment formed in 1866 at Fort Leavenworth and served with distinction in several military campaigns, including the Spanish-American War and World Wars I and II.
The committee also conducted sweetheart dance fundraisers and fashion shows. The committee would try to make a $1,000 donation to a different entity each year, Jackson said. One year the committee raised about $1,000 for equipment at Ransom Memorial Hospital, 1301 S. Main St., and another year donated $1,000 to the Ottawa Library to update and expand its African-American materials — as just a couple of examples, Jackson said.
Jackson would like to see the committee resurrect two former events — one a potluck dinner to honor an outstanding adult and youth in the community and another gathering to recognize honor roll students at Ottawa high and middle schools, he said.
Jackson's hope is that people will be more tolerant and respectful of each other and come together to learn more about each other's cultures, he said.
"I think people have a tendency to pick out all the differences rather than focus on the similarities in our thinking," Jackson said. "People need to stop and ask themselves, 'Are we being friendly? Are we being Godly?' I think we need to be more respectful of each other. If we sat down together, we would find we have a lot in common — people are people [regardless of race]."

Marvel vs Capcom 4: Battles of Final HonorComments328
this wiki
Disclaimer: this article is open to general wiki public for editing. You may be looking for Marvel vs Capcom 4: Battles of Final Honor (Ouro), which is open only to Ouroburos The New Saurian.
Other Disclaimer: This is a Game Idea, meaning you cannot play this game. There is no promise from any parties listed that this game will ever be made. Please do not ask about it.
Marvel vs Capcom 4: Battles of Final Honor will be a 2-player Versus Fighting game developed by Ignition Entertainment and published by Marvel, being considered that the game was produced by the company. The game uses newly-drawn HD sprites based off the works from King of Fighters XII. Other things stated is that the game's music is composed by Satoshi Ise and the main illustrations are done by Falcoon
The game has 3 available modes: Story Mode, Versus, Training, and Missions. The Story Mode is all new vamped and a specific setting with a set story for each different character, so you're not doing the same thing over and over. Story Mode alo includes cutscenes before each battle, where the character you're playing as is accompanied by your team as you run into your next opponent. In Story Mode, you can only choose a side of heroes or villains as you must fight to have either good prevail over evil or vice versa. In Versus however, you can have a mixed team of any character of your choosing.
You must defeat the evil alignment or the good alignment to make it to the final boss, The Beyonder. Once you beat him, your team leader's ending will show him or her getting his or her ultimate wish. If you make it to 30,000 player points, like in MVC3, you will unlock Beyonder Mode where you can play as The Beyonder, who wishes to see if good or evil is stronger. If you play this mode and win, you will unlock his character ending, which is a comic panel of him stealing the powers of both the heores and villains.
Like Marvel vs Capcom 2 and 3, this game features 3-on-3 fighting mechanics and displays a usage of hyper combos during gameplay. like the original, players can also execute tag-team specials and perform aerial combos and/or raves. However, new mechanics have been added, including:
- Ultra Hypers: Are used when a player's health is low and most likely used to cancel out their hyper combo special.
- EX Hit: Transforms character's combos into more powerful, faster versions of those combos.
- Groove Cancel: Allows the player to use their characters's own hyper combos more than once in gameplay.
- Aerial Hypers: Can be executed when one's health is moderate, only... They are the original versions of hyper combos, but in midair.
- Assist characters: The return of Assist characters from the original Marvel vs Capcom returns once again.
Years after Galactus' attack, both Marvel and Capcom Earths are living at peace once again. However, when Dr Doom and Wesker rejoin forces to conquer both worlds, chaos unfolds once more. This chaos catches the attention of The Beyonder, a being who controls destiny. The Beyonder observes the Earths and places them under his rule and watch. He announces to the heroes and villains that he is here to see who really runs both worlds and is putting both sides in a test for good against evil and they will soon have to fight him. The winning party, being good or evil, will have their greatest wish be granted to them and the losing party will have their powers and abilities stripped from them permanently. If neither party is able to defeat The Beyonder, he will strip both the heroes and villains of their powers and abilities.

Isenberg MBA Team Excels in National Competition
June 25, 2013
On April 26, a team including two Isenberg MBA students vied against 11 business school counterparts in the finals of the 2013 International Impact Investing Challenge (I3C), at the World Bank in Washington, D.C. Organized by Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, the Challenge is a pitch competition that asks participants to design investment vehicles and sustainable strategies to solve environmental and societal challenges. To reach the finals, the Isenberg team of Maria Fernandez '14 MBA, Anna Ivanova '13 MPPA, and Spirit Joseph '13 MBA crafted a prospectus for their project--the Food Forward Impact Fund-that earned finalist status among 60 submitted proposals.
According to the students, the Impact Fund seeks to combat the phenomenon of "food deserts" in America (initially the Eastern Seaboard) by improving access, especially among the poor, to healthful food. To that end, the fund would invest in community-supported agriculture, mobile food units, and community organizations and entrepreneurs who facilitate administrative services promoting access and education. Separate investment layers in the $10 million, 5-year fund would target philanthropic investors, socially focused investors and program related investment partners, and institutional investors-the last yielding market-level returns.
"It was a fantastic learning experience," recalls Fernandez, then a first-year Isenberg MBA student. "The process was rigorous; for the finals, we had to distill weeks of research and thinking into a ten-minute presentation. We received enormously valuable feedback from the judges--all investment pros." The team, she added, also gained valuable insights from a Challenge-appointed mentor, who specialized in investments for nonprofit organizations. "For the judges, we had to back up everything with numbers. They asked to see our spread sheets and the instruments that we used to think about different assumptions and outcomes."
The experience, added Fernandez, was empowering for the Isenberg team and the School's MBA program. "We felt confident competing against teams from Yale, Northwestern, the London Business School, and Duke," she emphasized. "After all, we all came from strong professional backgrounds and an excellent program. We felt good about getting the word out about Isenberg. That's something we need to more on a national scale."

Dental Plan Saves Up to 80% on Dental Care
I`d like to tell you that, at last, there`s an affordable alternative to expensive dental insurance.
Perhaps you already know: 70% of Americans go without dental insurance coverage. Even those fortunate enough to enjoy medical insurance can`t always afford the add-on benefits of dental insurance. Clearly, an affordable alternative dental plan is needed. Hi-- my name is Larry Wall. We didn`t have dental insurance either, but I`m pleased to say that we found the affordable alternative.
It happened like this: A while back my wife needed root canal therapy. Our regular dentist said he didn`t do root canals, so he referred us to a specialist. When we called the specialist for an appointment we found out that he wanted $800 for the service! Of course we shopped around for cheaper dentists, but the best price we found was still $600. Then we found out about our dental plan through a friend.
With the new plan my wife`s root canal ended up costing only $325. We saved 46%-- or $275! But if you count our regular (or former) dentist`s recommendation that`s a 59% or $475 savings. How`s the quality of service? My finicky wife couldn`t be more pleased with our new dentist, his office and the services she gets. And yes, you`re right: we often think about all the money we could have saved if we`d only had our dental plan all those years.
Let me tell you a little more about the plan:
This dental plan is not insurance (You must use a network provider and pay the discounted fee at the time of service)
And since it`s not insurance there are no waiting periods!
No deductibles
All preexisting conditions are covered (unheard of with dental insurance!)
No restrictions on age
No restrictions on how many visits you make
No claim forms with this dental plan
All specialists are included (even orthodontics)
18,000 dental providers nationwide-- the largest APO dental network owned and managed by one company
All dental providers are credentialed to the National Council on Quality Assurance (NCH) standards

Back in March, Nicole wrote about the remake of the movie Fame and how a young man named Kevin Tancharoen had been hired to direct it. At the time, we all wondered how a 23 year old choreographer couldve gotten the gig and Ill admit to thinking he might not have been the right choice for the film. But I have to say
after speaking with Kevin, he said all the right things and I definitely think hes on the right track.
For those who havent heard of Fame
its a musical that came out in 1980 and it was directed by Alan Parker. The film follows a group of students through their studies at the New York High School of Performing Arts and it spawned a TV show and a musical that ran on Broadway and in London. You could say it was kind of popular. Anyway, as weve already reported, the film is getting a makeover with a new cast and new songs.
While I know a lot about many films, unfortunately, Im not an expert on Fame, so when I was speaking with Kevin I did the best I could. Thankfully, Im familiar enough with the original that I think I was able to find out some good info like
how much is the original film going to influence the new one. I also asked about the music, will it be an unknown cast, where are they filming, film or digital, and a lot more.
But before getting to the full interview
one of the things that Kevin said that gave me a lot of hope for the project was:
Kevin: As far as camera choreography, this is really an important thing to me, is that I know lately the style of coverage has been very popular which is like you know you get 10 cameras to shoot a dance scene and then you kind of edit it later. Well, Im going to go back to more single camera approach that made movies that Fosse did so popular and Buzby Burkely so popular. I dont understand why musical sequences or dance numbers cant be storyboarded and paced out like as important as a monologue or a car chase.
Collider: I totally agree with you.
Kevin: Exactly. I was just going to say that a dance scene has to have that crescendo and has to have that pacing and to me it would be a shame not to storyboard it and just kind of flesh it all out just as much as you would like I said a car chase because it could be that intense.
I think some of the films that Bob Fosse did were amazing, and anyone who invokes his name and says that they want to emulate him
well, they get my vote.
With Fame casting going on right now, Id imagine were close to finding out who will be in the movie. But until this possible SAG strike gets resolved, I dont think filming will be moving forward. But once the new contract is signed, I know this is a go project, so look for it maybe next year in theaters. Heres the interview:
Collider: So for people who dont know your bio--name and info--give me your 30-second bio.
Kevin Tancharoen: My name is Kevin Tancharoen and you know I came from the world of choreography. I grew up in dance and singing and that whole world. I worked as a kid, working as a dancer and being in all those teen-driven musicals. And then from there I ended up dancing for Britney Spears and NSync and then I choreographed for Britney and Madonna, worked on all the NSync tours, the Britney tours and I even directed Britneys Onyx Hotel tour. As soon as I was done with that I made a television show called Dance Life that ran on MTV and was executive produced by J-Lo and then I also directed the Pussycat Dolls show that was on the CW and I just am so immersed in the world of dance, music, pop culture and they hired me for Fame basically because I know this world since I was five. I grew up in the world of Fame and the people in the movie are my friends and I, you know, I was a dancer with a number on my chest and I was a choreographer, then I was like the director hiring the dancers and then I directed stage tours, then I directed television, and then I directed a couple music videos and things like that. So me just moving onto this movie was a natural progression. The thing about this movie that I think is absolutely fantastic is that we have a chance to you know in the world where movies like Step Up 2 and Stomp the Yard and You Got Served and all those are very popular - like the genre is really popular. What I want to do is make a movie more about young characters and what teenagers go through, what young artists go through, and the fact that theyre talented happens to be like the frosting on the cake. So the musical numbers are all going to mean something to the storyline. Its going to mean something to the characters. Its not just going to be a dance scene just for the pure sake of having a dance scene. Since theyre in a performing arts school theres a reason why theyre going to be performing all these numbers. Its not going to be like break down the song, turn the camera and start chasseing down the aisle of the hallway or something.
Collider: So let me ask you, theres obviously been a movie madehow much is the original film going to be in this movie?
Kevin: Well, the original
you know its sort of a more of a reimagination of the movie. The only thing being taken from the first film is that its purely about young teenagers set in a school of performing arts and thats all were taking from the first one, and we just are all completely new characters. Were treating it like the other characters were, you know, its not like theyre in the alma mater. Its not like they used to go to this school. Its a completely new environment, its just set in a performing arts school and thats pretty much all thats about the same.
Collider: And what about
Im not as familiar with the original musical as some people. Obviously theres musichow many of the original songs or original stuff that you guys are incorporating? Is it a lot of new stuff?
Kevin: Its going to be some new and some new mixed with the old, but at the same time Im not going to
I guess hip-hopify it. Im not going like you know take the old songs and remix it and make it like hip and cool. Were going to take some of the elements that made the original very fantastic; were also going to incorporate some new contemporary ideas and music into it as well.
Collider: Have you already gone out for
who are you getting to do the new songs?
Kevin: That is
we are still -you know- open to that right now. Were looking at a bunch of different people.
Collider: And I know you
we talked inside and you said you guys are going to start casting in like a month. Is that right?
Kevin: Yeah. Were starting casting. We put out the announcements. The thing about this is that this is not Fame starring like a Zack Ephron or Miley Cyrus or those kinds of characters - people who are already famous. I want to discover young talent in the same way Fame is discovering new talent, so all unknowns and were going to make stars of them in the movie.
Collider: Now this is the interesting question: you say all unknowns and it actually sounds great so no one thinks of like Zack playing a character. Its all unknowns. What happens if Miley or Zack or someone with a name says, shit, this is a really good script. This is really good music. I want to be in this.
Kevin: Well, the thing thats hard about that theyre such superstars and this movie is about young people who want that, so its just kind of inorganic to go that route. I mean, obviously I think theyre great because everything theyve done has been fantastic and theyre great in their own right in that world but for a movie like this, I think it would be a shame not to discover some new people.
Collider: Where are you thinking about filming the movie?
Kevin: Its going to be a mix between New York and Los Angeles.
Collider: Are you guys going to try to do a lot of on location, on the street that kind of
Kevin: Yes, Im going to try and really capture the urban environment of New York as much as I can and not try and fake it because no matter what you do you cant fake the New York vibe and tone and architecture and feel that you get when youre in the street.
Collider: And you obviously mentioned youve been a director with a lot of stuff previously. You have a lot of experience. Have you directed a lot of camera stuff?
Kevin: Yes.
Collider: And so I guess my next question is--are you shooting on 35 or digital or
Kevin: Right now Im
you know its a toss up
because I am part of the digital generation so a big part of me is moving towards that world and I want to embrace the genesis or the Red camera, but you know what
film is also tried and true and I love it so Im still going to see
.its like this, you kind of want to see where the destination were going and then figure out what car to take from there, so Im making all my reference material to see what the final picture is going to look like and then well decide what format to shoot on. As far as camera choreography, this is really an important thing to me, is that I know lately the style of coverage has been very popular which is like you know you get 10 cameras to shoot a dance scene and then you kind of edit it later. Well, Im going to go back to more single camera approach that made movies that Fosse did so popular and Buzby Burkely so popular. I dont understand why musical sequences or dance numbers cant be storyboarded and paced out like as important as a monologue or a car chase.
Collider: Well, you see you bring up the interesting thing about working with unknowns because you can say were doing 6 weeks of rehearsal, youre going to know this dance number inside and out prior to getting on-set. Is that the way youre thinking about doing it?
Kevin: Yes. I want toyou knowobviously well have an intense period of rehearsals where the kids will just have to be immersed in that world. The thing that I do like is that
about the original film is that Louis Falco, the choreographer, did such a great job at keeping the choreography organicmeaning it didnt look like, you know, you cut to the wide shot and then everyone in the dance magically knows the number. So, Im going to use that approach as well and make sure not everything is down to the T choreographed so it looks like a music video. Its got to feel like youre a fly on the wall and naturally it happens.
Collider: You say youre casting in like a month, when do you plan to shoot this and do you already have like a release date in mind?
Kevin: No. You know thats all up
they know all of that more than I do but you know obviously were aiming at shooting pretty soon, but you know, thats all
.weve got to find the cast, weve got to find the superstars first so go from there.
Collider: So think about shooting in New York in the hot summer?
Kevin: Oh, thats going to beI knowthats going to be a mess, but you know what? Weve got to do what weve got to do and itll be good.
Collider: sounds great, thanks.

Cisco Delivers Strong Quarter, Big Dividend Boost
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Shares of Cisco (CSCO) were pushing higher in Wednesday's extended session after the Dow component beat Wall Street's expectations for its fourth-quarter results and gave a major boost to its dividend.
The networking giant brought in revenue of $11.7 billion, up from sales of $11.2 billion in the same period last year, and above analysts' estimate of $11.6 billion.
Excluding items, Cisco earned 47 cents a share, compared to 40 cents a share in the prior year's quarter. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of 45 cents a share.
"As a result of our strong performance, continued execution on our plan to deliver profitable growth, and commitment to shareholders, for the full fiscal year, we delivered revenue growth of 7% as well as a record year in revenue and earnings per share," explained Cisco CEO John Chambers, in a statement.The company also said it's boosting its quarterly cash dividend by an eye-popping 75%, going to 14 cents a share from a prior payout of 8 cents. "Cisco has the financial strength and flexibility to effectively invest in our business, pursue strategic opportunities, such as acquisitions, as well as return a minimum of 50% of our free cash flow annually through dividends and share repurchases to our shareholders," explained Cisco CFO Frank Calderoni, in a separate statement. For its fiscal first quarter, Cisco expects revenue growth, excluding its NDS acquisition, of 2% to 4% compared to the prior year's quarter. Including NDS, the networker expects first-quarter year-over-year revenue growth of 4% to 6%. Excluding items, Cisco predicts first-quarter earnings of 45 to 47 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters were looking for earnings of 46 cents a share. The company's shares rose 5.36% to $18.28 in extended trading. -- Written by James Rogers in New York.

The U.S. is urging North Korea to respect intellectual property rights after an unauthorized stage performance of Disney characters at a concert for the reclusive country's new young leader.
But State Department spokesman Patrick Ventrell said Tuesday that since Washington does not have diplomatic relations with Pyongyang it could not raise the issue as it would in other countries.
North Korean state TV this week showed performers dressed as Minnie Mouse, Tigger and other characters dancing against a backdrop of footage from Disney movies, an unusual departure for the isolated nation. New leader Kim Jong Un has sought to project an image of youth and modernity.
The Walt Disney Co. says it did not authorize the performance.

Side jobs
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 10-08-2012 - 1:43am
As most of you know, I teach in a parochial school and as a result, take a significant paycut compared to my DH. I've done pet sitting and photography on the side, as well as some IT contract work from home, but have not had many leads in any of those areas this year. I would like to earn a little money on the side to help make up for my lack of income and also save up for some special things without dipping into our savings.
Do any of you have a side job that you do from home nights/weekends? My biggest skill would probably be database management but in general, I have excellent attention to detail, I'm a super speller, and very organized.
It's so hard to tell what work-from-home ads are legit on the internet so rather trust good people like you gals!
Thanks for reading!

Steroids and Teenage Girls
June 21, 2005
Trevor Butterworth
A trend in the wrong direction or a study misunderstood?
Last week's congressional hearing on steroid abuse threw the media a curveball: could there really be an upsurge in body-building among girls in grades nine through 12? Well, that's what a 2003 state-by-state survey by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) seemed to show, as 5.3 percent of the respondents reported using illegal steroids.
Instead of asking whether the survey had produced credible numbers, media reports found ways to explain why these numbers made sense. An editorial in today's Baltimore Sun warned readers that it wasn't just a spurt in teen athleticism (thanks to Title IX) driving steroid abuse, but the lure of reducing body fat. "For young women with eating disorders, steroids can become another risky substance that they might abuse, similar to diuretics, laxatives and amphetamines."
The Sun admitted that researchers disagreed about how widespread this problem might be,
"with one Harvard psychiatry professor suggesting that anonymous surveys probably 'exaggerated' steroid use by young girls. But another expert from Penn State University said that based on the survey, there could be as many as 300,000 to 400,000 high-school-age girls using anabolic steroids. Whatever the actual number, the trend seems to be going in the wrong direction."
Well, that depends on whether the survey's methodology provides an accurate picture of abuse, doesn't it? In his testimony to congress, Harvard's Dr. Harrison Pope (a member of STATS advisory board) argued that the CDC survey was so full of potential "false positive responses" that "we cannot responsibly conclude there is currently a widespread public health problem of illegal anabolic steroid use among teenage girls, unless we see new, valid data to the contrary."
The problem is that the CDC used an anonymous questionnaire to gauge abuse. This meant that it was impossible to go back to those girls who answered "yes" to the question "During your life, how many times have you taken steroid pills or shots without a doctor's prescription" and ask whether they had specifically taken illegal anabolic steroids.
How many girls answered "yes" to taking steroids, even though they hadn't actually taken anabolic steroids, the muscle-building variety under congressional scrutiny? Consider the possibility that some girls might have taken steroid skin creams, or asthma inhalers containing steroids, or birth control pills, or over-the-counter adrenal steroids, which were legal until last year. And how many girls took products they mistakenly thought contained steroids?
In explaining the inherent limitations of an anonymous survey, Dr. Pope then pointed to the kind of survey – a face-to-face confidential interview – that could tell us how widespread steroid abuse is among teenage girls. The most recent study to do this, the National Household Survey in 1994, found that just .02 percent of women aged between 15 and 44 had taken anabolic steroids.
Now one may object to that figure being out of date; but other anonymous surveys of anabolic steroid use (Monitoring the Future. 2004) found that only one percent of ninth-grade girls had used steroids in contrast to the CDC's finding of 7.3 percent of ninth-grade girls. (It should be noted that the MTF survey unlike the CDC survey explained what a steroid was). Allowing for false positives in the MTF survey, the real figure is probably much closer to the National Household Survey. And the MTF survey hasn't shown any dramatic increase in steroid use over the past decade.
Finally, and one of the reasons he was called to testify in front of congress, Pope is the author of the only recent peer-reviewed study looking at anabolic steroid use in women. Even after two years spent trawling among hard-core gyms in Eastern Massachusetts for subjects, Pope was only able to find 17 women who had used anabolic steroids – and none of them had begun using before the age of 18.
In other words, set against numerous studies and research on anabolic steroid use in women, the CDC came up with a statistic that was anomalous. And instead of being skeptical about how the CDC arrived at this figure, the Baltimore Sun downplayed its critics.
The moral here is that journalists forget the adage "even if your mother says she loves you, check it out" at the public's peril. This story should not have been covered as an alarm followed by a lone expert protesting in the penultimate paragraph – as it was in some publications last week; nor should it have been treated as a ho-hum case of "experts" in disagreement: the CDC's study was either a reliable indication of steroid abuse among teenage girls or it wasn't. And given the scientific and statistical criteria for evaluating such questions, the conclusion was clear from Pope's testimony: it wasn't.

The Sydney Funnelweb Spider:
Cheap accomodation Australia
safety message
Cheap accomodation Australia
Funnelweb safety tips
Funnelweb Spider safety in Sydney and Austraila
Probably most people have heard of dangerous and scary things one might come across when travelling in Australia. However it's important for our
Cheap Sydney accommodation
visitors to keep things in perspective. There are highly publicised dangers like:
Deadly "Sea Wasp" box jellyfish
Venomous Snakes
The deadly "Sydney Funnel-Web spider"
However, in fact, these animals occur only in certain areas and, for example, most Sydneysiders would never have seen a Sydney Funnelweb spider except on TV or on display. Particularly in the inner-city areas Funnelwebs cannot be found. In the centuries before anti-venene was available, a few people did receive fatal bites however now there is anti-venom treatment available.
While its sensible for
cheap Sydney accommodation
visitors to be aware of these creatures in their natural habitats, some other more common hazards are worth keeping in mind.
To put things in perspective,
cheap Sydney accommodation
visitors should consider the following government statistics:
Accidental causes of fatality in Austrailia
1984 -1994
Spider bite...................4 (Very few people are bitten by Sydney Funnelwebs or other Spiders!)
Crocodile attack............8
Shark attack.................11
Snake bite...................28
Hornet, bee, wasp..........31
The total
of all above!!!!!!!!.......82
compared to
So you can see that the most important time for
cheap accomodation Australia
visitors to take care is simply when
crossing the road.
Yes that's correct. There is 4973/82=60 (SIXTY!) times more risk from crossing the street than from all the hazards listed above. In other words, of every 100 people who died in Australia from any of the causes listed above, 98.4% were involved in an accident crossing the street!
If you are a
cheap accomodation Australia
visitor, and especially if the traffic in your home city drives on the right hand side of the road, you need to take much more care than your average traffic-wise Sydneysider.
This is because in Sydney and Australia, we drive on the left hand side.
When crossing the street in Sydney and Australia, your natural instinct and ingrained habits will prompt you to check the traffic the same way you always do at home before stepping onto the roadway.
But in Sydney Australia where we drive on the opposite side of the street, the speeding cars and trucks will be coming from the opposite direction to what you are used to, and your habitual way of looking for approaching traffic will be in the wrong direction. This is how an accident can easily happen.
To cross safely,
first look to the right,
then look to the left and then look to the right again.
Give this your full attention before you arrive in Australia and throughout your stay at
cheap accomodation Australia
so you will be prepared to cross safely.
All of us, staff and management at
Australian Sunrise Lodge,
wish a safe and enjoyable visit to Sydney to all our accomodation guests, so in the interests of road safety, please remember:
look to the right, look to the left and look to the right again,
stepping onto the road
in Sydney and in all Australian states.
