This Week in DVD: Tinkers, Tailors, Muppets, Tattooed Girls, Easter Bunnies, Babysitters, Serge Gainsbourg and More
Features By Rob Hunter on March 20, 2012 | Comments (1)Hey kids, it's This Week In DVD time again! There's a whopping six releases worth buying this week, and four of them are foreign language flicks. Make of that what you will. Look below for my recommendations on Gainsbourg, The Sitter, Hop, The Muppets, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and… Clown Hunt? As always, if you see something you like, click on the image to buy it. Battle Royale It's the near future, and Japan has grown so tired of their violently out of control youth that they've organized an annual event featuring a randomly chosen class forced to fight to the death on a distant island. This release has been a long time coming. The movie is over ten years old, but while it's utterly fantastic this is the first US release for reasons of misguided political correctness. It's wonderfully violent and bloody film that also happens to have some interesting things to say about society and the cycle of violence… but you can ignore all that if you choose and just focus on the stylishly violent encounters between kids, cliques and even friends. Anchor Bay has released the film in two versions. The single disc only includes the director's cut, which adds some interesting character bits but is slightly inferior to the theatrical. The one listed to the right though is their beautiful four-disc set that includes the theatrical and director's cuts plus the mediocre sequel plus multiple extras.
This week, on a very special episode of Reject Radio, Jason Momoa talks Conan, director Joann Sfar talks Gainsbourg, concept designer Jerad Marantz talks rising Apes and Spidey's costume, and action icon Renny Harlin discusses his latest film 5 Days of War. Plus, our old friend Scott Weinberg goes up against FSR's own Gwen Reyes in a Movie News Pop Quiz that leads us to talking about sexy animated characters. Don't judge. You know you think Ariel is the bee's knees. Listen Here: Download This Episode
Two high profile French flicks hit the San Francisco International Film Festival… one features the return of the man behind Amelie, and the other features Doug Jones. They're both visual inventive and entertaining, but only one will satisfy fans of beautiful bouncing boobs.

Videos: The ten athletes who endorse the least healthy food -- including Peyton Manning
This season, there's been nary a discouraging word said about Broncos QB Peyton Manning, who's on one of the most spectacular runs in NFL history. But the medical journal Pediatrics is an exception to this rule. A new study just shared in the publication evaluates athlete endorsements in food marketing to determine in part the stars pitching the least healthy stuff -- and Manning finishes very, very high in the rankings. Count down the top ten below, complete with videos of the hypsters in action, plus details and the complete report.Videos and more below.
The study's authors, Kelly D. Brownell, Marie A. Bragg, Swati Yanamadala, Christina A. Roberto and Jennifer L. Harris, looked at one-hundred professional athletes selected on the basis of Business Week's 2010 Power 100, which ranks athletes "according to their endorsement value and prominence in their sport." Then they separated out the food endorsements, with the nutritional qualities of each detrmined by using either a nutrient profiling index or, when it came to beverages, the percentage of calories generated by added sugar.
Their findings? "79 percent of the 62 food products in athlete-endorsed advertisements were energy-dense and nutrient-poor, and 93.4% of the 46 advertised beverages had 100% of calories from added sugar."LeBron James taking a McDonald's break.
The study features a number of different tables breaking down what the authors consider to be the worst offenders when it comes to supporting comparatively unhealthy products. Below, we're focusing on the one labeled "Athlete Endorsement Ranking," which orders the top ten by index score. The explanation reads: "The lowest index score indicates that the athlete has the highest Power 100 ranking, the highest number of advertisements
and food endorsements, and the highest percentage of food endorsements compared with other endorsements. The lowest index score also indicates that the food endorsed was the least healthy in the sample."
Here's the countdown, followed by a look at the athlete-endorsement-ranking table and the full report.
Number 10: Chris Paul, Los Angeles Clippers
Food products endorsed: Glaceau (Vitaminwater), McDonald's, Powerade
Index value: 100.0
Number 9: Apolo Anton Ohno, speed skater
Food products endorsed: Coca-Cola, America's Milk Processor, Nabisco (Oreos)
Index value: 90.7
Continue to keep counting down the ten athletes who endorse the least healthy food -- including Peyton Manning.

from The Prophet by Gibran Khalil Gibran (1883-1931)
Beauty XXV
But the restless say, "We have heard her shouting among the mountains,
And with her cries came the sound of hoofs, and the beating of wings and the roaring of lions."
At night the watchmen of the city say, "Beauty shall rise with the dawn from the east."
And at noontide the toilers and the wayfarers say, "We have seen her leaning over the earth from the windows of the sunset."
In winter say the snow-bound, "She shall come with the spring leaping upon the hills."
And in the summer heat the reapers say, "We have seen her dancing with the autumn leaves, and we saw a drift of snow in her hair."
All these things have you said of beauty.
Yet in truth you spoke not of her but of needs unsatisfied,
And beauty is not a need but an ecstasy.
It is not a mouth thirsting nor an empty hand stretched forth,
But rather a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted.
It is not the image you would see nor the song you would hear,
But rather an image you see though you close your eyes and a song you hear though you shut your ears.
It is not the sap within the furrowed bark, nor a wing attached to a claw,
But rather a garden forever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
People of Orphalese, beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
But you are life and you are the veil.
Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.
But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

Bill passed will have an impact on local college students.
The U.S. House of Representatives has overwhelmingly approved bipartisan legislation to ensure that the turmoil in the U.S. credit markets does not prevent any students or parents from accessing the financial aid they need to pay for college. The legislation was passed by a vote of 383-27.
The Ensuring Continued Access to Student Loans Act of 2008 (H.R. 5715) would provide new protections, in addition to those already under current law, to ensure that families continue to have timely, uninterrupted access to federal college loans in the event that stress in the credit markets leads a significant number of lenders in the federally guaranteed student loan programs to substantially reduce their lending activity. The bill carries no additional cost for taxpayers.
"This bill is a first step to prevent a crisis in the student loan program, and its consideration has come not a minute too soon," said U.S. Rep. Howard P. "Buck" McKeon (R-CA), the Senior Republican of the House Education and Labor Committee. "Peak lending season begins in July and we cannot, we must not, wait until a student is denied a loan to put mechanisms in place to deal with the turmoil in the student loan market."
"At a time when too many Americans are facing severe economic uncertainty, students and families shouldn't have to worry about whether or not the federal student aid they need to help pay for college is in jeopardy," said U.S. Rep. George Miller (D-CA), the chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee, and one of the bill's authors. "Today the House took an important step towards ensuring that, no matter what happens in our nation's financial markets, students will continue to have access to federal student loans. With families in the middle of planning their finances for the coming school year, it is critical that we continue to act swiftly on this legislation, and I look forward to working with the Senate and the administration to help make that happen."
"California State University, Northridge students depend greatly on loans to meet their academic and professional goals," stated California State University, Northridge President Jolene Koester. "We are deeply grateful for Congressman McKeon's continued support of the nation's college students and their ability to maintain access to affordable loans. This bill ultimately will benefit the community at the local level as well as strengthen the country overall."
In recent months, the crisis in the nation's credit markets has made it difficult for some lenders that participate in the federally guaranteed student loan program to secure the capital needed to finance their student lending activity.
H.R. 5715 would:
Reduce borrowers' reliance on costlier private college loans by increasing the annual loan limits on federal college loans by $2,000 for all students, and by increasing the aggregate (the total loan limit over the course of a student's education) loan limits to $31,000 for dependent undergraduates and $57,500 for independent undergraduates;
Give parent borrowers more time to begin paying off their federal PLUS loans by providing them with the option to defer repayment until up to six months after their children leave school – giving families more flexibility in hard economic times;
Help struggling homeowners pay for college by ensuring that short-term delinquencies in mortgage payments and medical bills don't prohibit otherwise eligible parents from being able to borrow parent PLUS loans;
Clarify that existing law gives the U.S. Education Secretary the authority to advance federal funds to guaranty agencies in the event that they do not have sufficient capital to originate new loans, and allow guaranty agencies to carry out the functions of lender of last resort on a school-wide basis. Under the Higher Education Act, these guaranty agencies are obligated to serve as a nationwide network of lenders of last resort if requested to do so by the Education Secretary;
Give the U.S. Education Secretary the temporary authority to purchase loans from lenders in the federal guaranteed loan program, ensuring that lenders continue to have access to capital to originate new loans. The Education Department would be authorized to purchase loans only if doing so would not result in a net cost for the federal government; and
Include a Sense of Congress that calls on federal financial institutions, including the Federal Financing Bank, to consider using their current authorities to inject liquidity into the student loan marketplace at no cost to the taxpayer to ensure students and parents continue to have access to low-cost federal loans.

WILLCOX- Two female students at Willcox High School were found to have mercury.
The school's Superintendent Dr. Richard Rundhaug says the students were isolated and the rooms where the mercury was found was evacuated.
Students and staff were no longer allowed in those rooms and a hazmat team was brought in to inspect and test the area.
If necessary, the rooms will be decontaminated by Southwest Hazard.
Rundhaug believes that the girls did not have any malicious intent. He thinks they brought it from home getting it out of the thermometers. He says they were playing with it, not realizing the danger.
He has asked the parents of both girls to have them checked out at the ER for their own safety

Why an Online Presence Adds an Important Feature To Your Visibility
Michael Boerner at iQuestions shared an interesting chart with me recently on how Nielsen Media Research tracks the impact of internet advertising. It's a "visibility map" and I've attached it as a .pdf to this post. The chart reveals that the prime time viewing audience for TV is evening hours between 7-10pm (nothing new there). Likewise, the radio prime time is early morning drive time, and slowly falls off over the course of the day. But the internet brings a different perspective altogether. The internet "prime time" creates a
bump over the daytime hours. In other words, during the low time when TV is building and radio is losing audience, the internet is cranking. As you can see from the chart, it's peak is about 3pm. It's also interesting that the lowest rating periods for the internet are higher than the lowest ratings for TV (morning) or radio (evening).
Based on this Nielson research, adding internet advertising, promotion, or programming to your media mix will make you far more visible during the day when both radio and TV are delivering less than their best audiences.

Hi, Phil. – when IPTV really takes off, This is a major windfall opportunity for the graphic design world. Man, are they going to be busy…the websites will have to immediately compete with the look and feel of the major networks and cable channels in order to keep the continuity. Mostly because the web-page will be 1 click away on the same HD-screen. From NBC to MSNBC.com in 3 seconds. Or, perhaps with the web-interaction as a border/frame, and the broadcast picture nestled in the middle. Is the rest of the internet world anticipating this wave? The TV sets may be web-ready, but are the websites truly ready for Primetime???

Phil, on the graph I'd like to see the breakdown of internet-video vs. internet-text. We're seeing a great difference between our written blog/essays and our podcasts (just audio). Given the statistics on reading, does your "Online Presence" really equate to YouTube for religious sites?
Dan Rupple from Seriously Funny Entertainment sent me this note about the post:
This day part ratings is very revealing, telling us a lot about the profile of the various media users. Radio is obvious: AM drive for listeners STARTING their day in their cars on their way to work. TV peaking at prime time as people are WRAPPING UP their day at home. But Internet usage is high while we are ABOUT our day. We are hitting the Internet while we are at work, at school or waiting in a check-out line. What does this say about the programming that is being consumed on line? 1) Internet content needs to be brief. The active user has an extremely limited time for viewing…a quick comedy pick-me-up before a meeting; a short sound bite news update as I rush to class; or a 60 second movie trailer before I decide what to do with a Friday night. 2) Internet content needs to be mobile. People are on the run. The days of desktop computer has given way to laptops. Phone booths to the cell phone. And now iPods to the iPhone. As a digital media content provider, this is terrific substantiation of the difference of producing for television versus Internet.

Fifty-year old house is for sale. Have serious buyers. Home inspector found some cracks on outside chimney and on some bricks on the face. Suggested the buyers have the chimney inspected before buying. Thought a new liner or chimney might be necessary. As I am the seller, if repair needs to be done what could that cost? I don't want to lose the sale but can't afford to spend a fortune.

- Posted by goodbyekitty (My Page) on Mon, Nov 16, 09 at 22:39
Our inspector failed to notice our fireplace appears to be pulling away from the outside wall. Our house is about 30 years old. It's on my list of things to do but I was just going to get a chimney inspection to find out if there are any real problems. I think my problem sounds way bigger than yours. It wouldn't hurt to call someone qualified and find out if there are any real problems. It might not be all that bad! We use to have a fireplace at our other place (now a rental), I'm tired of them. They're a lot of work... all that cleaning every season and buying wood, and listening to the husband complain about how hot it is. |
I just finished an update in my post "Chimney Fire". The steps I took may be of help to you. Knowledge is power and things might not be as bad or expensive as concerned. Liners run about $1200 - $1500 installed. We finished up at $600 with a professional chimney guy found through Craiglist. He even sourced out and fixed a "draw" problem the upstairs fireplace has had since built. |

Is Typing a Necessary Skill?
Cliff posted more than 10 years ago | from the quick-brown-fox-jumps-over-the-lazy-dog dept.
1065cloudwilliam asks: "The Christian Science Monitor has an interesting article on how many schools have stopped teaching touch-typing as a necessary office skill and are now often saying that basic computer skills are more important. I'd agree with the latter, but what about typing? I learned to type on an IBM Selectric II (and still own one, as a matter of fact) in the mid-1980s, and the last time I was tested, touch-typed at around 60 wpm. Is this an obsolete skill? With handwriting and voice recognition technologies, is using a QWERTY keyboard with nine out of ten fingers something worth knowing anymore?"

…until the MTV Video Music Awards! Love 'em or loathe 'em, there's always something to talk about at the VMAs – and we've been discussing them now for (if I'm counting correctly, which I believe I am) 29 years! Rock on, Moon Man!
This year's show promises to be as full of excitement as it has been in previous years – scheduled performers include: Rihanna, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Frank Ocean, Taylor Swift, Green Day, P!nk, Alicia Keys and One Direction…and a slew of famous presenters.
The VMAs have always had some memorable moments – in no particular order, here are some of my absolute favorites and things that had the tongues wagging:
1) Lady Gaga – The bloody Paparazzi (2009)
2) Madonna/Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera – The phoniest kisses of all time (2003)
3) Kanye West and Taylor Swift – The Stupidest Thing EVER (2009)
4) Madonna – Like A Virgin (1984)
5) Madonna – Vogue (1990)
6) Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley – The kiss (okay, okay…maybe Madonna/Britney/Christina were the SECOND phoniest kiss of all time!) (1994)
7) Martha Stewart and Busta Rhymes – CoPresenters (1997)
8) L'il Kim and Diana Ross – Juggling (1999)
9) Eminem – One of the most epic performances of ALL time (2000)
10) Britney Spears – Snake Charmer (2001)
11) Green Day – Kicks ass and takes names (2005)
12) Beyonce – Put A Ring On It (and put some shoes on yo'feet, sistah!) (2009)
13) Pink – Sober…and on a trapeze! (2009) ** So awesome I can hardly stand myself!**
14) Lady Gaga – and the Meat Dress! (2010)
15) Bruno Mars – Lovely tribute to Amy Winehouse with Valerie (2011)
Interesting sidebar to this VMA story – in 1990, I was in California for the month of August for my cousin's wedding (she got married on September 9, 1990 – I was a bridesmaid), and a few of us went and got in line at Universal Studies the day of the VMAs to try to get tickets. While we were waiting in the never-ending line, we ended up beside the trailers of a few big names, including Sinead O'Connor, U2, and 2 Live Crew…Sinead came out of her trailer a few different times while we were waiting (I was there for ages), and while we saw Madonna's trailer, the Madge-ster did not make an appearance. Boo! Hiss! As we neared the front of the line, the worst thing imaginable happened – the last tickets went to the person in front of me. No kidding. I was absolutely gutted – and so, me being me, I tried to make that dude a deal and started attempting to barter with him for those tickets. Needless to say, I wasn't successful (I was 16 years old and didn't have much of value to offer), so instead we finished our day at Universal Studios and went back to my cousin's new in-laws place to watch the show. This was the year of the famous Madonna "Vogue" performance…and I was ALMOST there. Sad. Face.
Do you have a dream list of concerts that you want to see during your lifetime? I sure do. For the longest time, my list included Madonna, but…I think that ship has sadly sailed. Her hijinks and tomfoolery on this latest tour have left me with such a bad taste in my mouth – it's too bad, as she was ALWAYS one of my favorites. Oh well…I think I'll just go back and watch some of her old concert footage and call it a day. Some of the others that are still on my list include: the Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, Lady Gaga (I can't even imagine how fabulous that show would be – and, goodness…what would I wear??! ), Bruce Springsteen, Pink, and Coldplay…there's more. I have seen so many great artists over the years, and I absolutely LOVE live music!! (I really do need to sit down and write a post about my favorite concerts of all time, and my mom's interesting connection with some of those shows – I'll do that this week, they make some pretty great stories!)
Are you planning to watch the VMAs tomorrow night? How do you watch – at home alone, with friends, or out somewhere? I'll be watching at home alone in San Antonio, cocktail in hand, and wearing some fabulous shoes…because a girl must always look her best!

Beautiful presentation
Botanical Bliss Enclosure Cards I ordered Botanical Bliss wedding invitations and save the dates. I absolutely love them. The delivery was very fast, and the packaging they came in was wonderful. They were daintily wrapped in tissue paper, silk ribbon, and put into a blue box with a magnet closure. Just the fact that someone cared enough to package these invitations so thoughtfully was touching. It made me feel very special, and made everything start feeling real! The personalization element is helpful when choosing the design. The only part I wasn't thrilled about was that I couldn't move up the font where our names were written. I didn't want the entire text about who was hosting the wedding so I shortened it, but then the spacing was off. I couldn't fix it, so I left it
Love them!!
Botanical Bliss Square Invitations Beautiful invitations! So excited to send them out!
Beautiful Products!
Botanical Bliss Step Information Cards I loved how my invitations turned out! The process was easy! I also love the fact that they sent me multiple samples for free ( including shipping) before I made my final decision! I definitely would recommend this company to anyone.. As a matter of fact, I have been recommending them! Thank you magnetstreet for making wonderful products and for having great customer service as well!
Bliss, is right!
Botanical Bliss Save the Date Magnets I'm pretty picky about these kinds of things, especially wedding-related things - these magnets are great! They're styled just enough to play to your color scheme and/or theme, yet are simple enough to still have that understated elegance. I love that balance; it's just what we were looking for. Only qualms are that funny part of the design that look kind of like paw prints, and how extra envelopes aren't included, just in case. No big deal with how everything else is on point!
Perfect Wedding Invite!
Botanical Bliss Rectangle Invitations Clean, Classic, Beautiful design! The team at Magnet Street was so helpful - we wanted to change the wording on our response card and they did so easily! Oh, and we received these invites very quickly!

Summer 2014: Race and Politics in the American Civil War
"Nearly a century and a half after its conclusion, the Civil War remains the central event in American history," asserts historian Eric Foner (institute faculty member) in the introduction to Harold Holzer and the New-York Historical Society's 2013 book, The Civil War in 50 Objects.
"The reasons for the war's continued relevance lie…in the fact that it raised so many questions that remain fundamental to Americans' understanding of themselves as a nation. What are the concrete meanings of freedom and equality? Who is entitled to American citizenship? What should be the balance of power between local authority and the national government?" These questions and more were explored during our Summer 2014 NEH Institute, Race and Politics in the American Civil War!
This past summer, we gathered together some of the nation's best-known historians to join thirty K-12 teachers for this two-week institute. From Monday, July 14through Friday, July, 25, 2014, teachers, scholars, and the project directors engaged in deep discussion and investigated the Society's one-of-a-kind primary sources, including artifacts, works of art, and a research library full of historic documents. We also took advantage of some of New York City's historic sites on field trips to the African Burial Ground, the Irish Hunger Memorial, Five Points, South Street Seaport, and Castle Garden.
Participants gained fresh perspectives, experienced the most up-to-date scholarship on the history of the Civil War first hand, and received a wealth of primary and secondary resources. Participants worked in groups to apply scholarly lectures and in depth library research to create lesson plans designed for their respective grade levels. These lesson plans, including accompanying primary sources and worksheets, will be made available on this website soon!

The first thing you should know is that relatively few MIT graduate students pay the full price out of pocket. Instead, they use some combination of MIT tuition awards, savings, student loans, and term-time and summer jobs to meet their expenses. This requires some research and careful planning of your current and future budget.
Your actual expenses will vary depending on your academic program as well as your choices of dining and housing options, travel, other out-of-pocket expenses, etc. You can get a more accurate estimate by using our student budget worksheet.
Your price has two categories: charges billed by MIT charges, and things you must pay for out of pocket
Below are some of the amounts charged by MIT for the 2013-14 academic year. These figures do not include expenses for the summer term from June through August.
Expense | What most students are charged | Details |
Tuition 1 | $43,210 | Registrar's Office |
Student activity fee (mandatory) | $288 | Registrar's Office |
Housing (on campus) 2 | $14,363 | Housing Office |
Meals | $4,774 3 | Campus Dining |
Student Medical Plan | $0 | MIT Medical |
Student Extended Insurance Plan 4 | $2,088 | MIT Medical |
1 Tuition amounts vary widely by academic program. Please confirm your tuition rate with your program directly. All graduate students in the Sloan School of Management are subject to a different base tuition rate than the figure listed above.
2 These figures vary from a double room in one of MIT's graduate residence halls to a two-bedroom in one of MIT's family residence halls; prices vary depending on which residence hall you choose, whether you are single or seeking a family apartment, and (if you're single) how many roommates you elect to have. These figures don't apply to off-campus housing.
3 This is the budget figure suggested by Campus Dining for 32 weeks on campus per academic year.
4 Some form of hospital insurance is required by Massachusetts law. As part of the basic tuition fee, MIT provides the basic Student Medical Plan but also charges all students for the Student Extended Insurance Plan, which provides hospitalization coverage. However, students who can demonstrate that they already have comparable coverage under another insurance program are granted a waiver from the Student Extended Insurance Plan. There are additional charges for coverage of partners and dependents under both the Student Medical Plan and the Extended Student Insurance Plan. Click here for a chart that compares all services and rates offered by MIT Medical to students and their families.
There are other expenses that are not billed by MIT that you should take into account. Some items below are followed in parentheses by a standard budget amount suggested by MIT.
Fausto is one of thousands of students who are paying much less than MIT's "sticker price" - because we meet every student's full financial need.

The brand is teaming up with nonprofit food rescue program City Harvest this fall, and will transform 15 of its trucks in colors from DKNY's fall campaign, including splashes of apple green, teal, purple and cobalt. To benefit City Harvest, DKNY also collaborated with Dog-Eared jewelry, and created a special "Make a Wish" necklace, which will be sold at DKNY's New York stores as well as DKNY.com. All net profits from each necklace sale will go to the organization. DKNY plans to further raise awareness on Sept. 15 at a party it will host to celebrate Vanity Fair magazine's anniversary. The store will feature tasting stations from New York restaurants.

Brian Friel (born January 9, 1929) is a playwright and director from Northern Ireland. Born in Omagh, County Tyrone, he received his college education at St. Columb's College in Derry and, briefly, the seminary at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, as well as in Belfast. He taught at various schools in and around County Londonderry from 1950 to 1960. Friel began his career by writing short stories for The New Yorker in 1959 and subsequently published two collections: The Saucer of Larks and The Gold in the Sea. His first radio plays were produced by the BBC, Belfast, in 1958. His first play - This Doubtful Paradise - premiered in 1959 and a few years later The Enemy Within (1962) gained him recognition in Ireland. Philadelphia Here I Come! (1964), The Loves of Cass McGuire (1966), and Lovers (1967) were all highly successful in Ireland, as well as overseas. Dancing at Lughnasa (1990), probably his most successful play so far, premiered at the Abbey Theatre, transferred to London's West End and went on to Broadway, where it won three Tony Awards in 1992, including Best Play. Friel's most recent work is The Home Place (2004), which after a sold-out season at the Gate Theater in Dublin, transferred to London's West End on May 25, 2005. Most of Friel's plays have been performed extensively in Dublin at the Abbey, Gate and Olympia theatres, in many West End theatres in London and on Broadway. Dancing at Lughnasa was made into a motion-picture (starring Meryl Streep, directed by Pat O'Connor, script by County Donegal playwright, Frank McGuinness) in 1998. Brian Friel was awarded an honorary doctorate by (see [1]) Rosary College, Chicago, Illinois in 1974. In 1989, BBC Radio devoted a six-play season to his work, the first living playwright to be so distinguished. Friel received a lifetime achievement award from the Irish Times in 1999. He is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, the (British) (see [2]) Royal Society of Literature and the Irish Academy of Letters. Friel co-founded (together with actor Stephen Rea and fellow alumni from St. Columb's, Tom Paulin, Seamus Heaney and Seamus Deane) the Field Day Theatre Company, where many of his pieces, including Translations (1980), The Communication Cord (1982) and Making History (1988) premiered. On January 22, 2006 Friel was presented with a gold Torc by President Mary McAleese in recognition of the fact that that the members of Aosdána have elected him a Saoi. Only five members of Aosdána can hold this honour at any one time and Friel joins fellow Saoithe Louis le Brocquy, Benedict Kiely, Seamus Heaney and Anthony Cronin. Friel lives in Donegal, which he moved to from Derry in 1967. Plays

Any of the rod-shaped, usually gram-positive bacteria (see gram stain) that make up the genus Clostridium. They are found in soil, water, and the intestinal tracts of humans and other animals. Some species grow only in the complete absence of oxygen. Dormant cells are highly resistant to heat, drying, toxic chemicals, and detergents. The toxins produced by C. botulinum, which causes botulism, are the strongest poisons known. The toxin of C. tetani causes tetanus; other species can cause gangrene.

All I will say right now is, I did it and it was amazing. I beat the cut-offs I was so desperately worried about with time to spare!
I have a geeky race report coming, but want to wait until I can complete it with pictures. It was a great day full of challenges.

26 Mar 2010
Well the 2009 season did not go as planned, we only made one race in 2010 and that was the last race at Manzanita Speedway. And sadly it was not in my regular car so the results were not as I expected. So with that said back in November of 09 I started preparing for the 2010 season. On March 13th 2010 we had our season opener at Canyon Speedway park, I arrived at the track pumped up and ready to race. The car looked and sounded awesome and it seemed as it was going to be a great night. Hot laps went off without a hitch and I really just took it easy as it had been over a year since I had been in a dirt car(although I had done some racing in North Carolina in a legends car owned by Hurricane Racing) With that said I was due to start second row inside in the 4th Heat race for the night. Not really where I wanted to start, I kind of prefer the outside, but oh well luck of the draw. So I pulled out for the heat race and the car seemed to be running well, I was sitting I believe in 3rd, when someone decided they were going to take it 3-wide going into turn 3, while doing that they slammed me and the 2nd place car. After all that I ended up 4th in the heat securing the 4th and final transfer spot, thus letting me transfer right to the A-main. So after the heat we surveyed the damage of the 3-wide hit and it was mostly cosmetic, except for a gashed tire that seemed suspect so we changed it. With a few more small changes we had the car ready for the main. We went with small changes cause suprisingly the track was holding water really well and it seemed like it would stay tacky all night. So the time came to line up for the main and I was ready, I was starting 16th outside, but I knew I had the motor and the car to finish way better than where I was starting. So we did our parade laps and we were headed for the green. Just as I came under the flag stand I saw someone spin high going into turn one, so my instinct was to go low and hope to miss it. Sadly everyone else had the same idea and it ended badly for several of us. As soon as I shot low and got on the brakes I was piling into the back of another car and the hood was up in my wind screen. After getting everything shut off and climbing out of the car is was obvious that my night was done. The front core support was almost ripped clean off the car, the radiator sheared the pulley off the front of the water pumped and the sub-frame was in a way different position than when we started the night. But most importantly I was fine, well a little sore for a few days, but no worse for wear! So obviously it has been almost 2 weeks since we wrecked the car and slowly I am getting it to where I can change out the front sub-frame. I hope to be racing with the SCRA at USA Raceway on the 3rd of April, but if we do not make that race I will for sure make it on the 17th of April at USA Raceway. For a schedule of the SCRA races it can be found at www.azscra.org. For Canyon Speedway Park the website is www.canyonspeedwaypark.com. I will be racing at Canyon more this season, I am just not sure of the exact dates as the races with the SCRA are my first priority.

1 March 2009
Finally the 2009 Race season is upon us, inspection was yesterday for the SCRA Factory Stocks, and sadly my car was not there. Although I will be ready for the opening night on the 13th of March at Manzanita Speedway without a doubt. I am looking forward to a new season of racing and hoping to run well this year. I am still diligently looking for sponsors, so if anyone wants to get their name out there, there is no better medium for advertising than racing.
16 August 2008
Well for anyone that has been under rock, no just kidding. Really just wanted to put an update on here for anyone who checks my website. As most everyone knows I am currently deployed to afghanistan on a year long tour and will be back in December of this year. So needless to say racing is on hold till I get back and I have had to sit out this season, but it is cool, cause I will be back in 2009 ready to get r done! In the mean time I have to send out a very big thanks to Larry Upton, the SCRA and Manzanita Speedway for the awsome presentation they gave me while I was home on leave. If you would like to check out the slide show from it you can see it at www.azscra.com So with that I will put the close on this update and I will see everyone in 09. By the way I am looking for Marketing partners for the 09 season and beyond, so if you are a business or know of a business email me or get at me on myspace under the name thebut31.
30 August 07
Well I finally got my transmission, I picked it up yesterday from Ernie at Sav-on Transmission at 43rd Ave just south of Indian School. And let me tell you first and foremost, if you need transmission work done Ernie at Sav-on is the man! With that said in the next week or so I am going to get it put back in and all buttoned up. If all goes well I will be back racing sometime before the end of September. I do have to say though I could not have gotten it put back together with out the financial help of my father and my girlfriend, thanks to both of you! Well I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend, be safe! I will be setting up an Ebay account here real soon to solicit donations to help offset my racing costs, if anyone would like to donate or knows someone who would, I will be posting the link on here as soon as I get it set up. I know it may be a lame idea, but some guy needed to get back from Europe and he was broke, so he did it and some lady just up and paid for him to fly home, so you never know. Take care everyone and keep the wheels road side down!
3 July 07
Well here I sit still not racing, unfortunately some things have come up in the past couple months with my job, and without going into details it was in my best interest to take a little time away from racing. I am still trying to get my car back together and vigorously searching for a sponsor. I am on my summer vacation for the next 2 weeks and I will be going around to check with a few businesses that I already buy from and support and see if maybe they might be interested in becoming a marketing partner. But in the mean time I want to wish everyone a very Happy 4th of July, it is truly the best holiday all year, and my personal favorite day of the year, I am damn proud to be an American! I hope to be out at the very latest by the anniversary race at Manzi. Well everyone take care and keep checking back for updates, I promise I will not wait well over two months between updates from now on. Also make sure you stop by the Cardinal Stadium to check out the Men's Luxury Toy Expo 13, 14, 15 July, the SCRA will have a show car out there and you may very well see me sitting at the booth a day or two during the weekend. And lastly make sure you stop by the Hellion Industries store Grand opening on the 21st of this month starting at 8AM at Glendale and 56 AVE, they make awesome clothes and I own several of their shirts myself.
7 May 07
This past Saturday I got the transmission out of the car and found why it had no reverse, the case is cracked from side to side. I have not only found another case that I will pick up tomorrow, but I have also found another whole transmission that I will get on the 25th of this month. Unfortunately we will not be back racing this Friday, but I should be back out at Manzi no later than the 18th of this month baring anymore problems. I still need to order some parts, and I am in dire need of some sponsor help. If anyone is wondering what cracked the transmission it was a broken transmission mount, so I am going to order one made specifically for racing and see if that stands up tot he abuse better. I am probably going to take one hell of a hit in the points, but I am trying here and without any financial support at all, this is the best I can do at the moment. Well everyone take care and we hope to see everyone back out there on the 18th at Manzi.
Well everyone, I have gotten the car off the trailer finally, and have the ball joint and upper a-arm pretty much changed out. Unfortunately the transmission has quite a leak and will not go into reverse, so I have got to pull that out and get it down to Ernie at Sav-On Transmission so I can get it back up and running. I hope to be back out at Manzanita on the 4th of May, and if money will allow I will be there. I am feverishly searching for some sponsor help, but I am not having much success, so if any body who lives in Phoenix knows of a company looking for a great marketing partner send them my way. Well that is all for now, just a quick update during the off time, it is NASCAR weekend coming up, so there may not be much more work on the car this week, but I have posted some pics of what happened to the front end of the car.
Take Care
What a night, one week I feel like a hero and run damn good, and this week I feel like a zero and end up with a wrecked race car, what a roller coaster of emotions racing is I tell ya. Well this week I had call up a few friends to find some pit help as my regular help Tarn has had a shift change not by his choice, and it falls during my racing time. Fortunately I have some good friends and my buddy Vaughn Stoner came out to help out, being a racer himself he is always willing to lend a hand in the pits. So we got to the track, drew a 31, got the inside row of row 3 I think in the 2nd heat race, not really a good starting spot, but what can you do. I got the car set up in hot laps and was ready to go for the heat race. The heat race seemed as it was going to be un-eventful, although the car seemed to be fading and I could smell either rear end grease or trans fluid. And the final lap, final turn came, and we got taken out. I won't go as far as to say on here who exactly it was, but plain and simple we got taken out, coming through 3 and 4 to take the checkers, the fella loosened me up, then slammed me right in the left front. I made it around to the checkers and back to the pits, to find that the hit had pretty much bent the upper a-arm into a total mess as well as the upper ball joint. We figured hell with it, we can run it like it is, and after talking with the SCRA Factory Stock director and expressing my utmost displeasure(to say the least I was pissed beyond words) for what had happened, I readied myself for the b-main. They called for us to go to staging and mysteriously the left rear tire went flat, then the trans would not go in reverse. So I shut it down and climbed out to find a huge puddle of trans fluid underneath the car. So that was the end of our Friday night of racing. I have yet to pull the car off the trailer and fix it, not to mention that my neck is wicked sore form the hit I took, but regardless we will be back racing at Manzanita Speedway on the 4th of May. Unfortunately this little mess cost me three spots in the points. The season is early yet though and I think I can still obtain my 2007 goal of getting a top ten in points for the season.
Manzanita Speedway 31 March 2007
Wow, well our second night of racing is in the books, and man what a fun night it was! I got to the track unloaded, pill drew a 47 or 40 something can't really remember. That had me starting 3rd row inside for the second heat, so we went out to hot lap and this time I took it easy and left my spin out title in the past. With hot laps over I opted not to touch anything on the car and just run the heat. So the heat came around and I ran somewhat alright, but not good enough to get the transfer to the main. Unfortunately I just could not catch the guys in front of me in the heat in enough time, I tried like hell but it just wasn't happening. So that put us in the B-main once again, but this time I was ready, I opted again not to touch the car and rely on the same set-up from the heat, and boy was that an excellent choice. They had me starting on the outside pole (first row outside for the non-racers). So we rolled out for the B-main and right at the start I went to racing the 92 car who started on the pole and that would be the story for the entire B-main, we ran damn near side by side for the entire race, I think it was 15 laps but I was way too busy to be counting laps. I led a few times and he led a few times, but at the end he got me at the line. So with that race over that put us in our first main event ever in a factory stock at Manzanita Speedway. We lined up on the outside second row from the back, that put us starting 18th on a very rough and dry track. The main event for me was pretty much un-eventful I raced a few cars here and there, I was never able to get up to the front and challenge for a top 5, but I was able to bring it home in one piece and finish up in 13th out of 20 cars. I had an absolutely great night and it could not have happened without my crew chief Tarn Sanger who comes out to help me with whatever I need each and every week. Between Tarn telling me to clear my head and the notes I taped to my dash, it combined for a very fun and successful night. I also have to thank the driver of the 92 car for driving me clean in the B-main as well as the A-main, he could have chose to take me out at any point but he drove me like I drove him. We have one more race next Friday before we are off for a month, and if things keep going the way they are I truly believe we can be in the top 5 by the end of the season. Thanks to all the fans that come out every week as the show would not happen without you. Also thanks to my wonderful girlfriend Hillary who puts up with my late Friday nights of racing and the long hours of getting the car ready each and every week, thank you baby I love you! Well I will sign off for this week and I will look forward to next week.
Manzanita Speedway 16 March 2007
Well our first race is in the books, and although the outcome was not the best that could have been it was a fun night. The night started out with packing the track and hot laps. And hot laps truly reminded me that I had not only been away from Manzi for way too long, but I had been out of a race car for way too long as well. For some reason on the first lap of hot laps I decided to blaze the car into turn 1 without ever lifting, not sure why, but my excuse is I lost my ever loving mind and that is what I am sticking to. Well on lap two I did the same thing, so after setting the 5 lap spin out record for hot laps, I called it quits and pulled in. At some point in hot laps I also managed to hit someone and bash the bumper in, so I had to rush to get that beat back out before the heat race. I drew a 25 in the pill draw and that had me lining up 3rd row inside for the 1st heat, damn I hate lining up on the inside! So we got called to line up on the front stretch for the first heat and I truly thought I was ready to go, boy was I way wrong! So to make a short heat race even shorter, I once again managed to set the spin out record and ended up finishing 7th out of 8 cars. So I pulled in, the wrong way no less, thanks for letting me know Mike, lol. Well at this point I truly thought about calling it a night and finding a different hobby, cause obviously I had lost what little racing ability I had. So I talked to Tarn my crew chief and he broke it down for me. His advice was to clear my head and just stop thinking about racing and race the damn car, prob not his exact words, but this is a family site! So I checked the line up and I was starting 4th row inside for the Semi main, just behind to the inside of my friend Rhett. So I talked to him and got ready to go out, damn I hate starting on the inside! So we rolled out for the semi, and I did what Tarn had said, I cleared my head and went racing. And oh boy did I go racing, I raced like I had never raced before. I did everything I could for every lap of the semi, I think it was like 8-10 laps, seemed like a long time as it was flag to flag no cautions. But to no avail after trying inside, outside, high, low, and anywhere on the track I could not get passed Rhett. We ran side by side for several laps and he just got me by like an inch at the checkers. So we ended up where we started finishing 7th, but with not one spin out and some of the best driving I have ever done. After pulling in and gathering my thoughts I diagnosed that not only did we have zero forward bite up off the corner (I was spinning the tires up off the corner for all you non racers) and the battery slowly running out of juice were the reasons I just could not get passed Rhett or anyone else for that matter. Unfortunately only the top 5 cars made it from the semi to the main so that put us on the trailer for the rest of the night. Regardless though, I had a great time filled with the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows. I will be racing again at Manzi on the 30th, the onto Canyon on the 31st, come on out I hope to see you all there.

Ron Rezek designed the world's first contemporary-styled ceiling fan, the Stratos, in 1986. But his list of accomplishments in the design world is long and varied, from lifeguard equipment to contemporary lighting. In 1997, Ron started The Modern Fan Co. in Ashland, Oregon, which produces and sells only contemporary ceiling fans.
His ceiling fans have been widely used in hotels, restaurants, retail and institutional applications, and all types of residential projects.
Ron Rezek's Philosophy:
"I don't think contemporary means a stark white room. I think it means a tasteful alignment of important elements. There are some designers who copy the Modernists who have come before. But I think 'contemporary' is the pursuit of the new." "People assume that all contemporary fixtures are more functional than traditional ones. That is because contemporary fixtures are easier to clean and they seem to be more utilitarian based on their appearance. And because of their simplicity and lack of ornamentation, they also have an alliance with the industrial look. But all of this doesn't necessarily translate into function. The Modern Fan Co.'s fans are designed to be functional and energy efficient. This is part of being contemporary and pushing the edge. Energy efficiency is the wave of the future."

AIDA64 Random Access Time
Version and / or Patch Used: 1.60
Developer Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
Product Homepage: http://www.aida64.com
AIDA64 offers several different benchmarks for testing and optimizing your system, or network. The Random Access test is one of very few (if not the only), that will measure hard drives random access times in hundredths of milliseconds, as oppose to tens of milliseconds.
Drives with only one or two tests displayed in the write test mean that they have failed the test, and their Maximum and possibly their Average Scores, were very high after the cache fills. This usually only happens with controllers manufactured by JMicron and Toshiba.
As expected, the read latency was very good on the Samsung 840 EVO mSATA 120GB. The TLC flash still manages to produce Marvell level read latency, as shown here with the Plextor PX-M5M.
The write latency increases significantly once we get out of the Turbo Write area. This is an issue we've found on every low capacity Samsung SSD, going back to the 830.
What it really comes down to is this: For normal day to day stuff like surfing the web, reading your online email, face-twit and such, the 120GB model will perform great. When you start downloading Outlook in the morning, and have 40+ messages, transfer movies or music to your EVO 120GB, or do anything that gets outside of Turbo Write, you will notice the slowdown with the drive running on its own.
This is where RAPID Mode from the Magician software suite comes into play. If your system has 4GB of DRAM, RAPID will build a 1GB DRAM cache to give your storage system a larger buffer that is able to absorb the data, and feed it to the drive in steady doses. The result is a much smoother user experience.

Classic Musical Comes to Averett Stage
November 8, 2011
By Sierra Young Intern The theatre and music departments never cease to amaze us. With their daring performances they continue to leave audiences in a state of awe. Here they go again with the Tony Award winning show "Guys And Dolls." The show will be performed in Pritchett Auditorium Nov. 10-12 at 7:30 p.m. and at 2:30 p.m. Nov. 13. Written by Damon Runyon, "Guys And Dolls" is a musical fable of how things in New York function. The show follows Nathan Detroit and Sky Masterson along with two lovely "dolls," Sarah Brown and Adelaide. This production also showcases the city of New York, a city that never really sleeps. You'll meet everyone from the news seller to the chorus girls and the gamblers to the missionary helpers. All of these characters are caught up in the crowded liveliness of the city and its streets. "This is a show we have always loved," said Richard Breen, theatre professor and the director for the show. It has some huge musical numbers including "Marry the Man Today," "Luck be a Lady" and "A Bushel and a Peck." "The reason we sing and dance is because we have to, we love it, and we hope it brings a lot of people out," said Breen. That old saying "practice makes perfect" directly applies when it comes to rehearsing for a production as large as this one. "Rehearsals can seem dry at times, because you feel like you got nothing accomplished," said Cody Shepherd, a sophomore double majoring in theatre and biomedical sciences, who plays the role of Harry the Horse. "Then there are nights when you learn an entire dance in three minutes, and that's when you go 'Wow, I did all of this.'" "The rehearsal process can be draining, but it helps to have people I consider my family around me every step of the way," said Lindsey Litka a sophomore majoring in English and theatre, who plays the role of Adelaide. "The most exciting part for me is learning everything you can about the character; it's really like getting to know someone." Some of the behind the scenes people involved in this show include Dr. Anne Lewis, musical director; Penny Sornberger, costume designer; Jackie Finney, set and light designer; and Danya Zuniga, choreographer. This show also features a 12 piece orchestra consisting mostly of students. Tickets, which can be purchased in advance or on the night of the production, are $9 for adults and $7 for students/senior citizens. Seating is general admission. To purchase tickets in advance call the Pritchett Auditorium Box Office at 434-791-5712.

Making a single batten 24 metres long is no mean feat, and when Marine Results was given the task of replacing the original set of battens in the yacht's mainsail, because they kept failing, it was a question of designing something that was tougher, more flexible, and with a longer life.
The team at Marine Results designed the necessary specification and then called in engineers who were able to design the fabrication of the battens, numbering twelve in total (six and six spare). The battens were tubular and made of high-strength carbon fibre in an epoxy resin matrix. Because of their length they had to be transported in lengths under 12m and were then joined together on site. The diameters of the battens varied - the top batten was 72mm diameter and the bottom batten 93mm diameter.
Jon Morris of Marine Results, who led the project, commented "We believe these are the longest sail battens ever made, so it was quite a challenge to ensure that we could meet Mirabella's brief, which quite simply stated that a tough structure was needed which was not prone to breakage. With the help of our engineering partners we have delivered to specification."
Completed in 2004 and still the largest single-masted yacht in the world, Mirabella measures 75.22 metres and her mast stands 88.5 metres high from the water.

Are they in your area yet?
Should they be in your area any time soon? It looks like in the past few previous years that March 26th was the earliest in my area, but most of the time it is sometime in April. There are also links at the link below to see how they migrated in past years, which is interesting. You can also use a form at the link below to report the first sighting in your area. chemocurl...aka Sue |
Here is a link that might be useful: Spring 2010 Migration of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds
Follow-Up Postings:
Sue,when you spot the hummingbirds in the Spring,how long do they stick around?Do you put out a feeder at that time?I only start to see them in late Summer when they are making their way back south.If I could help them in the Spring by putting out a feeder I would.When they arive in late Summer they spend quite a few weeks in my yard because I have a feeder and I grow every kind of hummingbird flower I can get my hands on.Actually,I put out more than one feeder because they are so territorial.Thanks for any imput. |
Great site, my daughter just asked me yesterday if I put hummer feeder up as she did, going to do it now, even if raining, we love little gems, think there should be site dedicated to hummingbirds..or is there? many thanks again Sue. GB Bea |
Spotted first one of the season this afternoon! Male ,ruby-throated, made a quick stop then about 10 minutes later on again on the other feeder, yaay!! But don't think they are same ones that were here as they ignored me, smile...home gems used to do happy dance with dips to greet me and express their joy of making it back, would do happy dance when their babies started flying....wish there was a way to track them, also wish they were banded, but main thing they are back. Weather to be around 40 on sat, as long as it doesn't freeze, but did think they'd wait a while. Now off to mark the date on the map. Bea in Belle Chasse La ( near New Orleans ) |
Figured yesterday why hummers are shy this year, their "home"- largest tree around ( even after being about half ruined by Katrina ) was cut down last fall, they've counted to raise many more babies there, sure can a bit further, they'll get over it, lol Have a large white verbena so far, getting red one tomorrow. Anyone else has seen any?? |
Thanks for posting the link, Sue. I look forward to watching the progress north every spring. |

Julian | James | Oliver | Alexander | Edward | Owen | Everett |

I like the idea of using a pet name that has something to do with a hobby, favourite TV show/movie/book, favourite place, or something else meaningful that wouldn't be usable on a real person. Something fun and quirky. And/or something that corresponds to the dog.
For example, if your friend was into hairstyling and the dog had a poufy coat, she could name it Hairspray. Or Lyric if she's into music, Ace if she's into tennis, etc. Or say Pudding for a Yorkie, as in Yorkshire pudding.~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3
Favourite names:
Girls: Azalea, Cordelia, Elizabeth, Rosalind, Scarlett, Portia, Felicity, Juliet
Boys: Fitzwilliam, Sebastian, Percival, Prospero, Orlando, Darcy

That's a tough one! We need something to respond to!
Yorkies are little Napoleons. They think the rule the world -- and often they do rule their homes, so something assertive and masculine, I think. Otto?
I have no idea what Yorkshire names sound like. A bit like Scottish, perhaps? How about Hamish?

Internet Privacy and the Home OfficeSeparating your private life from your work at home life is a challenge in todays digital age. There is a wealth of services available to small businesses, many free. Paid or free services should be reviewed thoroughly for security features. When considering a service, find out how much of your personal information gets put out there on the internet. Know if you have the ability to select what is private and public. Also concern yourself with the privacy of your connections. If you have clients that require the same privacy, are they afforded the same anonymity as you when they do business or friend you? Emails You can easily get a free email from any number of online providers today. If you dont have your own website with emails featuring your domain name or your business is too small to warrant having a business email account, you can still have a business email. There is no need to exchange or publish a personal email. Googles Gmail is a favorite of many. There is no written law that says you must publish an email online for people to contact you. You can protect your business from spam by using a contact form service. They have easy to use tools to create forms. You can retrieve html code to add to a website or just use their service as a place for people to contact you. Then, once youve verified the person contacting you is real and relevant, you can contact them back. If you feel you need to publish an email address online for your business, there are other services that allow you to protect your email account from spam by sending an automated response to all who email you asking them to confirm they are a person. If they dont respond to this inquiry the email may be reported as spam and blocked from emailing you in the future. Social Media Social media is useful to many businesses, but can become unmanageable when you mix work and pleasure. This is an area where you want to protect yourself and clients. Ensure you are familiar with the privacy settings for any groups you set up or join. Know how to share information safely and first and foremost, respect the privacy of others. Whois Whois is an information source of who owns and operates a domain. Small businesses or home office entrepreneurs may register a domain and once a site is registered, all the information about the person or business that registered is searchable online. If this information happens to be your personal address, phone and email, you can protect yourself by purchasing Whois privacy protection for a small fee (must be renewed). The biggest security measure you can take if you are active online is to protect your passwords. Use different passwords for your various accounts especially where usernames or emails are the same or similar. Change them periodically as well.

Childrenwithdiabetes.com, a Web-based organization, conducted an online poll of parents between August 10 and 17, 2003, to determine how many had set up 504 plans with the schools their children attend. Parents were asked, "Does your child have a 504 plan for diabetes care at school?"
Partial results of the poll are shown below; for more detailed results, you can visit www.childrenwithdiabetes.com/poll/poll20030810.htm.
Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits recipients of federal funds, such as schools, from discriminating against people on the basis of a disability.
A total of 437 parents of children with diabetes responded to the poll:
- 29% have never established a 504 plan
- 26% set up a 504 plan each year
- 25% didn't know what a 504 plan was
- 9% set up a 504 plan this year for the first time
