But it's the outdoor garden that's sure to change over time as plantings grow up and around Chihuly's glass art. Michelle Bufano, executive director of Chihuly Garden and Glass, said about 22,000 flower bulbs were planted in the garden this past fall.
"We do work on it on an ongoing basis with Dale and his studio to make sure the dialogue continues between the art and the plants," she said. "We continue to make changes and revise it as the garden starts to grow up."
Chihuly seemed pleased with the variable nature of the outdoor garden.
"A year from now it's going to look a lot different," he said. "We'll have to decide how much we'll cut back or what else we want to add. It's a little bit of a work in progress."
In addition to examples of Chihuly's art, the pavilion also includes the Collections Cafe, a restaurant that houses some of the many items Chihuly has accumulated over the years.
Vintage accordions hang from the ceiling, dozens of bottle openers are displayed in a glass case and each table stores a collection beneath its glass top, from clocks to string holders.
"I'm probably somewhat of a hoarder, I suppose," Chihuly said. "I have 850 Pendleton blankets, if that gives you any idea, and 500 accordions."

When the villainous Doctor Doom and Loki attacked the space-faring Silver Surfer, his board's shattered remains rained down upon an unsuspecting Earth. Now the race is on to recover the powerful Cosmic Bricks that once comprised the board as Nick Fury gathers the Earth's mightiest heroes to recover them - all before Loki, Doctor Doom and their cabal of villains can assemble their Super Weapon and take over the world. Meanwhile, Silver Surfer's master, the planet-eating Galactus, comes in search of his Herald and his next meal... Earth.

Nicole Miller eyeglass frames are the glasses component that sets the Nicole Miller brand apart from the rest. While lenses are certainly important to the overall quality of a pair of prescription glasses, the frames give your glasses (and your face) character. Nicole Miller eyewear has introduced a wide range of frame types into the market, each of them an essay on style and personal fashion. From the two-tone beach colors of the Bungalow to the glittering cat-eye style of the Nolita, these glasses frames can make a statement or provide a little flirtatious fun. Most Nicole Miller glasses frames are constructed from durable materials and built to the same standard of excellence as all other products from Nicole Miller. These glasses frames are designed to hold all types of Nicole Miller prescription glasses, including bifocals, single vision lens glasses, and progressive glasses. A pair of Nicole Miller frames can go a long way toward making a facial fashion statement others won't soon forget.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Come and find out the new Beijing and China after the great Olympic events! China is a time capsule: ancient cultures and modern miracles in eight shorts days.
Day 1
You'll be met on arrival at Beijing airport. Free time rest of the day exploring the nearby streets, or resting and catching up on your jetlag. Beijing is a city of amazing contrasts â an ancient capital with incredible historical sites, and a bustling modern metropolis hosted the 2008 Olympics.
Day 2
After breakfast head out for Tian'anmen Square, the world's largest public square, which is closely linked to The Forbidden City, from which the Emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties governed for over 500 years. Later you'll visit the Temple of Heaven, where the Emperors prayed for good harvests and rain, or gave thanks for the harvest. Today's itinerary includes a visit to the old Beijing handicraft workshop.
In the evening, enjoy watching a splendid show of Shaolin Kungfu or Arocbatis on own expense, or enjoy nightlife in pubs & bars around the Houhai Lake.
Day 3
After breakfast, we will leave for Great Wall at Badaling, which stretches for over 6000km, and was originally built to protect China from the barbarians. You can walk and climb at your own pace.
In the afternoon visit the 2008 Beijing Olympic Park and Olympic village will be open to public from October, 2008. We will walk in the world's biggest Olympic Park and have a glimpse of the Olympic stadiums, such as Bird's Nest - National Stadium, and Water Cube - National Aquatics Center.
Finally visit the Summer Palace, the most beautiful imperial garden in China. You can have a boat ride on the lake which is a best way to enjoy the beautiful view.
Day 4
You will be free in the morning until being transferred to the airport in time for your flight to Xi'an which is one of the oldest cities in China. Xi'an was the national capital for over 1,000 years and was also the starting point of the Silk Road. On arrival we will take a visit to one of the best museums in China, the Shaanxi Historical Museum. Among the 400,000 items on display are treasures from many Dynasties including magnificent bronzes and porcelain, many of which have never been on permanent display before.
Day 5
Terracotta Warriors and Horses are part of the underground tomb of the Emperor Qin. Well over 7000 figures in full battle array are formed for battle in several large pits. Many of the figures - soldiers, archers, horses and chariots have been restored. In the afternoon we are going to the Bell Tower where you can get a bird's view of the city from the top. We will continue to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda where widely renowned Master Xuanzang (Monk Tripitaka) stored his collection of classic Buddhist artifacts brought from India.
Day 6
Fly to Shanghai. On arrival we visit the Shanghai Museum which possesses a collection of 120,000 precious works of art, and then The Bund - the old colonial sector, which is home to a myriad of European-styled buildings that face the Huangpu River. It is a must-see when visiting Shanghai. Architectural styles include gothic, baroque, Romanesque, and renaissance.
Day 7
Today you visit the Jade Buddha Temple, the lovely old Yuyuan Garden, and the famous Oriental Pearl TV Tower (also known as the Pearl Tower, for its distinctive shape). The second-highest platform provides wonderful views over Shanghai and the Huang Pu River, and those with a good head for heights can choose to buy a ticket to continue on to the very top.
Day 8
Your time is your own, until you are ready to be transferred to the airport for your departure.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

THESSALONIKI, Greece (AP) - An airplane flying from Germany to
Turkey was diverted to a Greek airport after a threatening message was found written in one of its bathrooms, but a search of the plane found nothing suspicious.
The Turkish airliner, carrying 62 passengers and six crew members, was evacuated when it touched down in Thessaloniki, northern Greece.
Police said the English-language graffiti found in the bathroom included the words "will die today."
Police who searched the plane said they found nothing suspicious, and no one has been arrested.
The Sun Express plane was traveling from Stuttgart, Germany, to
Izmir, Turkey, when it was diverted. Later, the plane completed its
flight to Izmir, Turkey's state-run Anatolia news agency reported.

Acquisition Of Saks Incorporated By Hudson's Bay Company May Not Be In The Best Interests Of Saks Shareholders
SAN DIEGO and NEW YORK, July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Shareholder rights attorneys at Robbins Arroyo LLP are investigating the acquisition of Saks Incorporated (NYSE: SKS) ("Saks") by Hudson's Bay Company (TSX: HBC) ("Hudson's Bay"). On July 29, 2013, the two companies announced a definitive merger agreement under which Hudson's Bay will acquire all the outstanding shares of Saks for $16.00 per share in cash. The transaction is expected to close before the end of the calendar year.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130103/MM36754LOGO )
Is the Merger Best for Saks Shareholders?
Robbins Arroyo LLP's investigation focuses on whether the board of directors at Saks is undertaking a fair process to obtain maximum value and adequately compensate its shareholders in the merger. As an initial matter, the $16.00 merger consideration is substantially below the $18.50 target price set by an analyst at Maxim Group LLC on May 22, 2013, and below the $16.50 target price set by an analyst at UBS on the same day. In addition, Saks traded above the offer price as recently as July 19, 2013, reaching a high of $17.51.Further, On May 21, 2013, Saks released its financial results for the first quarter 2013, in which it projected a 4% to 6% store sales growth for the remainder of 2013. Saks also exceeded analyst earnings per share targets in each of the last nine quarters. In relation to this positive news, Stephen I. Sadove, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer noted, "I am pleased with our first quarter comparable store sales growth of 5.9%, which was on top of a solid 4.8% increase in last year's first quarter." He continued by noting, "[w]e are making strategic long-term investments in infrastructure and technology … that will enable us to further enhance our omni-channel capabilities…. We are positioning our Company for future revenue and earnings growth." Given these facts, Robbins Arroyo is examining Saks' board of directors' decision to be acquired by Hudson's Bay now rather than allow shareholders to continue to participate in the company's continued success and future growth prospects.

A black teenager is suing the city of Richmond, CA after a local police officer reportedly tasered him in the testicles.
View full story
ouch !
racial animus !
at last they have found another word
so he really yelled "dont tase me bro", ive seen a video where that self defense tactic didn't work too good. this is very much the kind of thing that would infuriate me.......if it wasn't so g.o.d. d.a.m.n. f.u.c.k.i.n.g. funny. I guess all the police gotta do to violate civil rights around me successfully is to do it humorously...
I'd have thought that tasering somebody's balls was the story here, not any issues over race.
That's the problem Ryan, Americans are programmed to stick to facts and going to the point. Cause and effects plus analysis and history are left to TV commentators that get pay by advertisers interested in to keep the status quo. That made us, the general public, to look as satisfied as well feed lambs.
Sorry, California and Texas have the same style of law enforcement, the same Republic status and the news are more or less the same stuff. In the former note I was referring to a person tasseled in Texas. But is the same dog with different collar.
Texas is an state that is also oppressed. People is happy but not racially balanced and very, very defensive on tradition. Is probably the more likely state to separate from the Union. Together with that you have a large amount of black people, mainly emigrated from Louisiana (Katrina), police infected with (heroes) from the war against muslims and former cowboys that think and act like such but.. is not 1898. Be pacient
Lamotte Cason is such a hypocrite! He constantly posts homophobic bigotry on a Facebook page called "Heterosexual Awareness Month". Very nasty hate-filled rants. And now, here he is condemning the treatment his group receives, while all the while ferociously denigrating another.
America is a very sick country with street gangs of cowardly sadistic policemen and women running amuck blatantly shooting unarmed citizens at random and torturing children with tasers. Truly a beacon of moral degredation and outright evil.
They should suspend Thong without pay. Maybe that will be a lesson to other racist, power happy 'law' enforcers.
[quote name='charliehax' time='25.10.2013 12:34']
T his doesn't make you seem racist or ignorant at all........
[/qu ote]
Taking part of his sentence out of context like that changes the meaning significantly. That kind of makes you seem ignorant and racist too actually.
The judge will listen to the cops. Because he is the official version of incident. Unless the Black brings a white guy as witness
Those cops get off on that every chance they get their hand down their pants. They love the power and would have rather killed the guy. The law enforcement really get off on a good murder. That is very enjoyable when they don't have to go to prison to take a life.
All of you whites calling blacks and hispanics thugs, check out your own thuggish record killing innocent women, children, and senior citizens around the world. America's WHITE MAN'S WAR have spread more death, despair, and corruption, around the world along with the bloody History of White America than any other race since the History of Man. Who's the real thug now?
State your sources? Your facts are based on error and ignorant propoganda. Think of Genocide around the World, or Stalin, Ghengis Kahn, etc... Save your bigotry
Not just the police who are out of control, it is also the white citizens who support them doing this type of behavior. I am a citizen of this God forsaken country and I am glad to see this country finally going down the toilet for all the wrong it has done to humanity.
Wh y do you stay then? To steal a line from the hippies of the 60's and 70's love it or leave it. Better yet, make a stand run for political office if you think you can do better
When the 2nd word in the story is "black" I instantly knew this kid would turn it into a "he's racist" story. That's killing us, stupid minorities using the "race card" every chance they get punished for something, and our stupid government backs them up.
You must have missed some of very recent events where black people were put down by the police for next to nothing.

A Man in His Office: Jordan Silver of Silver Lining Opticians
A tour of Jordan Silver's eyewear emporium in New York City
By Yale Breslin
The Personal Stash
"I've been collecting for over 15 years, both new and old styles. Now that I'm in the business, I also pick up items that I find incredible. I have a pair of Alain Mikli glasses that were actually designed for Kanye West — not your typical Astor Place find. I bought them when they were on discount in the store because I knew they'd be collectible one day. I look for things that I don't think I'll ever be able to find again. Persol is my absolute favorite. Most of what you see here isn't for sale, but I guess there's a price tag for everything."

Ruston, LA (Sports Network) - Cordarius Johnson scored a game-high 23 points as he guided the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs to a 68-52 win over the Warhawks of ULM in non-conference play at the Thomas Assembly Center.
Johnson, who shot 5-of-7 behind the three-point line, also cleared a team-best eight rebounds for the Bulldogs (5-1), while Raheem Appleby tacked on another 18 points for the hosts as well.
The Warhawks (0-2) were paced by Trent Mackey who tallied 17 points in a reserve role, followed by Jayon James and R.J. McCray who both dropped 10 points, but also combined for 13 turnovers in the setback.
ULM led by as many as seven points in the first half, yet even with 54.5 percent shooting from the floor in the period the Warhawks were the ones trailing at the break, 36-28.
In the second half LaTech left the door open with just nine total field goals in the period, but the Warhawks failed to capitalize as they too made only nine baskets, en route to the 16-point decision.
The visitors limited their options as they suffered 22 turnovers and shot just 7-of-14 at the free-throw line.

Shutter (2004-I)
Description: A shock accident on a lonely country road has terrifying repercussions for a Bangkok photographer and his frightened wife in the Thai horror sensation that chilled audiences at the Gerardmer and Bangkok International Film Festivals. Distracted during a late night drive down a long stretch of country road, Tun accidentally runs down a pedestrian who seemed to have materialized out of thin air. Though Tun and his wife Jane attempt to relinquish themselves of responsibility by fleeing the scene and hastily returning to Bangkok, it seems as if someone or something is intent on ensuring that they don't forget their moonlit transgression. When Tun begins to see spectral figures in the images he snaps and Jane finds her dreams taking an unusually dark turn, the pair immediately decides to return to the scene of the accident to find out what became of their hit-and-run victim. Strangely, upon investigating the accident it begins to appear as if there had been no report of the accident and no victim to speak of. Upon returning to Bangkok Tun's friends begin dying at an alarming rate, leaving the pair desperate to unravel the murderous mystery before it consumes them body and soul.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Taking advantage of the latest digital capture and postproduction tools keeps Stan Musilek's work fresh and evocative
"It's funny. When you look at certain things, like the girl with the butterfly on her chest, everybody thinks we did that digitally, but it's actually painted on her. The only thing is that there are different parts of her hair from different shots, and the skin was changed fairly dramatically. We shot 400 or 500 frames, and we still felt that it could be cooler. You gave up earlier before: 'This is good enough!' I mean who the hell would think that this isn't good enough? With a lot of the stuff, if you don't see what can be done in another shot, people may think that's okay. Once I show you what we did, there's no comparison. Yes, you could have probably shot it on chrome and ended up with something similar, but it would never look this good."
It's In The Light
Though Musilek is quick to point out the importance of postproduction on his work, he's less emphatic when it comes to crediting his style to what's, in fact, a mastery of photographic lighting. Years as a still-life photographer have given him a deep understanding of light and its interaction with various surfaces, shapes and textures, and he brings that understanding to every project, no matter the subject. Many images in his portfolio are the result of complex preproduction and elaborate lighting schemes, but sometimes he acquiesces that less is more. Although he could easily do it, he's not in the business of lighting just to show off.
"As far as the lighting goes," Musilek says, "you can change something so dramatically. That's what interests me. Often, when a very simple lighting solution leads to great results, it's because of the approach we take. But I kind of can't help looking at it from two or three different executions. It's possible that the simplest one is the best set. But on the other hand, we're talking about visual communication, and it all depends on what's in the shot. When the subject, the styling, the hair and the environment are complex, maybe the simple lighting is the answer. And when all the elements are kind of simple, the simple lighting can also work.
"Photography has been around for a hundred years," Musilek concludes. "There's the sidelight or the ring flash as the single light source—we've seen it a thousand times now. When you look at major motion pictures, there are some beautiful traditional things, but things have moved on. But with the many new possibilities, one has to be careful to not fall into the trap of the one who puts the most lights on it has won. It has to be communication. What do you want to communicate; what were you thinking you want to show? You only get out of it how much you put into it from the get-go."

Labor Income Dropped Off the Cliff Starting in 2000
|By: David Dayen Wednesday September 26, 2012 9:11 am
After Mitt Romney released his tax returns, there was a minor debate on the left over capital gains taxes. Clearly Romney's low tax rate was a function of the reduced 15% rate on investment taxes like capital gains and dividends. And some made arguments about how this merely reflected classical economic thinking, that investment should [...]
Mitt Romney's Low Tax Rate a Function of How US Treats Capital Gains and Dividends

Democrats Support Multiple Tax Cuts for the Wealthy
|By: David Dayen Friday July 27, 2012 10:15 am
One problem with talking about the "Bush tax cuts" is that they incorporate much more than just the individual income tax marginal rates. Among other things, you have the changes to the estate tax. And so today, House Democrats plan to introduce an estate tax measure that would freeze the tax at 2009 levels. In [...]

Just thought it was interesting to see these comments from the Jets versus what McDaniels said a couple of years ago.
I had said much the same thing a few days ago.
Pretty sure that the meeting with josh was impromptu nothing scheduled well in advance. He might have had a day or two notice but even then how would he have known the terminology. Perhaps study some film but to know the terminology?
He also said that during the interview he was able to read the the defenses that were put up and how to defeat them.
Myself I think it was all crap from the jets staff to justify not,using him.
I also suspect that they did not try all that hard after the owner forced him on them.
Any coach in JAX would've a fool not to buy in as Tebow is loved there more than he is. Those fans are just as rabid as any and maybe even moreso than most. When it comes to Tebow He would start a fire in that program.
Now if he does indeed fail after getting decent coaching fans would understand any changes made.
We all know he had the same rap here lousy practice player, but thekidmwas a gamer. He showed up on Sundays and his teammates bought into it also.
I hope he just gets a fair shake about it. Then the chips can fall the way they should and he is either a damned good QB or a great minister.
Some how with the work ethic I've seen I suspect the former. .

Woman gets a THIRD breast implanted on her chest
Tuesday, Sep, 23 2014
Remember the movie Total Recall where the prostitute had three boobs? Of course you do. So does a woman in Florida. A massage therapist in Florida actually spend $20,000 to add a third breast to her chest.
She said she had to contact more than 50 doctors before she found a surgeon who agreed to carry out the procedure. Why would she do this? To attract more men? Quite the opposite…….she said that she added the extra boob because she "wanted to make herself unattractive to men. Because she doesn't want to date anymore."
She said her DREAM....is to have her own reality show on MTV.

Unlike most other Trophy Trucks, which run automatic transmissions, the Kia has a tall gear shift attached to a five-speed manual and Sprint Car-like quick-change rearend--just like the Sportage Skilton drove in the Paris-Dakar. Suspension is ably handled with adjustable A-arms attached to what looks like aircraft landing gear: 3-in. coil-over shocks and prototype Edelbrock rebound dampers all good for 22 in. of suspension travel up front, 24 in the rear.
The approximately 3.0-mile loop in the flood channel was a rutted, rock-strewn mish mash of sand, washboard, whoop-dee-doos, and sagebrush. Perfect for a race truck; a veritable minefield for a stock SUV. In fact, we'd even made a recon lap in the Toyota Sequoia I'd driven to the location outside Barstow, California. Doing my best to avoid the line that would have the most destructive effect on the undercarriage of the Toyota, the maximum speed we were able to achieve was about 20 mph. Bumpin' and shuckin' and jivin' along, the Toyota thumped innumerable buried rocks, high-centered several times, and slid all over the sandy ridges. The rugged desert befuddled its stability-control system, making it go berserk, and the cautious round trip took about 15 minutes.
In the Kia, the first couple of melon-size rocks were approaching, and I did my best to avoid them, as I had in the stock vehicle. Yet, the faster I drove, the faster they came, and there was little I could do to dodge all of them, time and again. But this Trophy Truck barely took notice. Then it happened: no place to go but straight at the rock-strewn 2-ft-deep gully that I'd forgotten was there. Had I attempted to get on the brakes, I'd likely slide the truck sideways up an embankment and roll it. Bad. The only choice was to stay on the gas to square off the corner and brace for the impact and resulting flight. While I was still in a convulsion of inevitable fear, the Kia had already traversed the gully that would've cleaned both the front end and undercarriage off a stock 4WD vehicle. Surprise and admiration (and dust) filled my helmet. When the next potentially destructive lunar landscape of rocks and ruts approached, I picked the line that'd get me out with the least amount of steering. Again, it felt as if I were levitating some three feet off the ground in a kind of anti-gravity machine that just slightly acknowledged the rough terrain below. It was only after I learned to subdue my instinct to flinch--to brace myself against the impact that never came--that I really began enjoying myself. I felt like a desert hovercraft pilot. On my second lap, I turned the wick up just a bit more and, as a race-car driver does on a track, began to see the best lines through the desert course. Oversteering and drifting slightly out of corners, anticipating what effect a bump has on the direction of travel, and even catching a bit of air time were all part of the learning process. By then, I was having an out-of-vehicle experience and even reached fifth gear for a short time. I assume I was going about 50 mph where I had driven the Sequoia to within an inch of its life at 20 mph. Then, in that instant, I finally understood.

Trying to follow my heart but my mind knows there's something else happening. What the fuck is going on
Follow the path of the unsafe, independent thinker. Expose your ideas to the dangers of controversy. Speak your mind and fear less the label of 'crack-pot' than the stigma of conformity. And on issues that seem important to you, stand up and be counted at any cost.

3. Reality tv
A lot of the celebrity lives that we watch on tv are scripted, edited and re-shot countless times. It's manipulated to portray over-the-top glamorous lifestyles and manufactured drama.
4. Personal space
I've had a big issue with negative energy invading my personal space recently. I now cringe at physical contact and some people really enjoy getting up close and personal.
5. Catcalling
Ladies know what I'm talking about. Inappropriate comments, honking, whistling, and the unfortunate groping. Here's a hilarious perspective on what guys think of it:

Over all available survey years, the percentage of youth homicides occurring at school remained at less than 2 percent of the total number of youth homicides, and the percentage of youth suicides occurring at school remained at less than 1 percent of the total number of youth suicides.
Violent deaths at schools are rare but tragic events with far-reaching effects on the school population and surrounding community. In this indicator, data on school-associated violent deaths were collected using the School-Associated Violent Deaths Study (SAVD). The most recent data collected for this survey cover the period from July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011. During this period, there were 31 school-associated violent deaths in elementary and secondary schools in the United States (figure 1.1 and tables 1.1 and 1.2). A school-associated violent death is defined as "a homicide, suicide, or legal intervention (involving a law enforcement officer), in which the fatal injury occurred on the campus of a functioning elementary or secondary school in the United States." School-associated violent deaths include those that occurred while the victim was on the way to or returning from regular sessions at school or while the victim was attending or traveling to or from an official school-sponsored event. Victims of school-associated violent deaths include not only students and staff members, but also others who are not students or staff members, such as parents. Of the 31 student, staff, and nonstudent school-associated violent deaths occurring between July 1, 2010, and June 30, 2011, there were 25 homicides and 6 suicides (table 1.2). Data for school-associated violent deaths for the 201011 school year are preliminary until interviews with law enforcement personnel have been completed.
Data on homicides and suicides at school and away from school were drawn from a number of sources. The "away from school" data were included in order to compare "at school" and "away from school" violent deaths. The availability for data on homicides and data on suicides at-school and away-from-school differs by period. The most recent data available for total suicides of school-age youth (ages 518) are for the 2010 calendar year; the most recent data available for total homicides of youth are for the 200910 school year.2 During 200910, there were 1,396 homicides of youth (figure 1.2 and table 1.1). During the 2010 calendar year, there were 1,456 suicides of youth. From July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011, there were 11 homicides and 3 suicides of school-age youth at school (figure 1.1 and table 1.1). During the 201011 school year, there was approximately one homicide or suicide of a school-age youth at school per 3.5 million students enrolled.3
The percentage of youth homicides occurring at school remained at less than 2 percent of the total number of youth homicides over all available survey years, even though the absolute number of homicides of school-age youth at school varied to some degree across the years (figure 1.1 and table 1.1). Between the 199293 and 201011 school years, from 1 to 10 school-age youth committed suicide at school each year, with no consistent pattern of increase or decrease in the number of suicides. The percentage of youth suicides occurring at school remained at less than 1 percent of the total number of youth suicides over all available survey years.
This indicator has been updated to include 201011 data. For more information: Tables 1.1 and 1.2, and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2008), (http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5702a1.htm).
2 Data on total suicides are available only by calendar year, whereas
data on suicides and homicides at school and data on total homicides are available
by school year. Due to these differences in reference periods, please use caution
when comparing violent deaths at school to total violent deaths. Data for total
homicides (201011) are not yet available.
3 The total number of students enrolled in prekindergarten through 12th grade during the 201011 school year was 49,484,181 (Snyder and Dillow 2012).

Cowboys' Jones listed as questionable
IRVING, Texas (AP)
Cowboys running back Felix Jones is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against Philadelphia after missing practice all week because of hamstring tightness.
The NFC East-leading Cowboys had said during the week they were being cautious with Jones, who was limited to working on the side but never got on the field for practice. He is coming off consecutive 100-yard rushing games since rookie DeMarco Murray, the team's leading rusher, broke his right ankle in the first quarter of a loss against the New York Giants two weeks ago and was put on injured reserve.
During one of his regular weekly radio appearances Friday, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said he would be surprised if Felix Jones didn't play. But the owner also said it was important to have a plan since the fourth-year running back hadn't practiced.
Sammy Morris, a 12-year NFL veteran who signed with Dallas and made his season debut last week, would start if Jones doesn't play. The Cowboys later Friday signed running back Chauncey Washington to the active roster from their practice squad.
Morris and Washington split time at practice in Jones' absence.
Linebacker DeMarcus Ware (neck stinger) and nose tackle Jay Ratliff (ribs) were also listed as questionable, but both are expected to play after having limited participation three days in a row. Ware and Ratliff both played with those lingering issues in last week's win at Tampa Bay, though came out after the Cowboys built a 28-0 halftime lead.
STING MEIt's the ugly but unavoidable side of football. Take a look at the major injuries of 2011.
Dallas also listed as questionable cornerback Mike Jenkins (shoulder), safety Danny McCray (ankle) and receivers Kevin Ogletree (knee) and Laurent Robinson (shoulder). McCray and Ogletree didn't practice this week.
Nose tackle Josh Brent is out with a knee injury.
If the New York Giants lose earlier Saturday to the New York Jets, the Cowboys (8-6) would be able to clinch the division title in their regular season home finale with a win over Philadelphia (6-8). But if the Giants (7-7) win, the Eagles would be eliminated from playoff contention and the NFC East champion would then be the winner of the New Year's Day game when Dallas travels to play the Giants.
Washington, whose only four NFL carries came as a rookie for Jacksonville in 2008, was signed to the Cowboys' practice squad Nov. 30. He had been out of football since being cut by St. Louis during training camp on Aug. 4.
The Cowboys released guard Daniel Loper, who was inactive for seven games this season with the Cowboys.

Why Proper Watering and Fertilizer Use is Important to our Environment
Freddy the Fish Teaches About Stormwater
Freddy the Fish teaches kids about what happens to rain after it hits the ground, where storm drains lead to, and what we can do to help prevent water pollution. While this video may be intended to younger children, we could all learn a thing or two from Freddy the Fish.
When you use fertilizer or pesticides, the chemicals that are not absorbed into the ground get carried off of your property the next time it rains (or if your irrigation is watering past the point of runoff). These chemicals, bacteria filled pet waste, and other things get carried down the street, into a storm drain, and into the nearest stream, river, and eventually lake - which is where our water supply comes from. And it isn't just fertilizer and pesticides, grass clippings that get washed down the storm drain can accumulate and clog the drain and the clippings that make it to the stream alter the oxygen levels in the water as they decompose, which makes it difficult for fish and other wildlife to survive.
Being careful to not over water your landscaping has numerous benefits. The obvious benefits of saving water, saving money, and promoting a healthy root system. And the less obvious benefit of preventing pollution from getting into our streams and lakes. With the winter weather here, you should only need to water your grass if the soil is dry on the top six inches. A good layer of mulch hand watering your plants before a cold snap will also help protect the roots from the cold and give the plants the opportunity to replace the moisture pulled from them by the dry wind. When watering, keep it on the lawn and take note from Freddy, "Only rain down the storm drain."
Stop Wasting Money, The Street Will Never Grow!
We are officially in the fall season. The temperatures have come down to a more pleasant level and that means that your lawn no longer needs as heavy a watering schedule as it did through the summer. In the midst of our busy lives, many times people forget that they need to adjust their automatic sprinklers with the season. If you are watering the same now as you were in July, you are wasting our limited water supply and your hard earned money by sending it down the street.
As temperatures drop and days become shorter, plant growth slows down as well. Slower plant growth means they require less water. Evaporation rates are also much lower, which means the soil retains moisture longer. These factors combined with the fact that we typically see a little more rain in the fall mean you should reduce the time and frequency of your watering. Throughout the fall, you should reduce your watering by about half. Keep an eye on your lawn and make sure you aren't watering to the point of water running off your lawn into the street. If the top four inches of your soil is damp, you don't need to water. Remember, plant roots need time to breathe between waterings - keeping the soil too wet all the time opens the door to disease.
For more information, check out our Watering & Conservation Guide, or our Guide to Watering Methods. Also, if you would like some fall color, check out our plant database and set the blooming field to "fall." On the details page for each plant is the Plant Timeline that shows how long and when the plant is in bloom.
Mowing Frequency
The weather, overall health of your turf grass, and soil will greatly affect the speed in which your grass grows. Lots of rain means your grass will need to be mowed more often. Periods of drought mean you will mow less frequently. But, the general rule of thumb is to try and remove around one third of the grass blade at each mowing. But why is this and how do you stick to it?
Grass plants have a "growing point" where the leaves or blades originate from. This growing point will stay close to the soil if the grass is mowed often and the rule of thumb is followed. If you let your grass grow too tall before mowing it, then this growing point will move up from the soil, reducing density, opening the door to weeds, and placing the growing point at risk of being chopped off by the mower. If the growing point is cut, the plant may not be able to recover. So, if you mow your St. Augustine grass to around 3 inches, you should mow it when it reaches between 3.5–4 inches. For Bermuda grass, when mowing to 2 inches, you should mow it when it reaches between 2.5-2.6 inches.
