Seniors audition for Bulls dance squad

SCHERERVILLE — While the women sat and chatted among themselves waiting for their tryout, Joe Kwasny sat off to the side on a pile of yoga mats, wondering what he'd gotten himself into.
Chicago Bulls Luvabulls director Cathy Core tried to put the 62-year-old retired Highland Police Officer and lone male to audition for the basketball team's Swingin' Seniors dance squad at ease before the actual dancing began. But singling him out only added to his embarrassment, at least at first.
"We're happy to see Joe," said Core, joined by former Luvabull and Swingin Seniors choreographer Evadney Hamilton.
"I'm not!" Kwasny shot back before laughing and joining the lineup.
Even the most rhythmically gifted don't always make "dropping it like it's hot" look, well, hot, or at the very least easy, but the 25 seniors who came out for the Swingin' Seniors auditions at Omni 41 Fitness Center on Saturday afternoon had the aerobics room hopping and onlookers laughing out of sheer joy at how well they were nailing the dance moves.
The would-be members — all over the age of 62 — picked up the Wobble as easily as they might have the Stroll or Bossa Nova when they were teens.
Which is good since, if chosen to be one of the troupe's 12 members, they're going to be learning new routines to new music before each performance, Core said.
"The team dances once a month and sometimes twice, but we don't do the same dance over and over," she said. "We also pick the music strategically."
After all, it's not every day you're going to see Grandma or Grandpa bust a move to V.I.C. or Beyonce. And that's the whole point.
"It'll be halftime, and the music will come on and everyone's like, 'What is this?' Then they come out and the crowd goes absolutely nuts," Core said. "This is a very popular group."
Once the troupe is assembled, they'll practice twice a week at Omni for a couple hours until game day in Chicago. Then they'll practice for a couple hours before tip-off.
"We look for enthusiasm and someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously, even though this is a serious group," Core said. "We've had an 84-year-old woman as part of the group and a 94-year-old man a few years ago. And he kept up with the best of them."
Kwasny, a Bulls fan, had seen the Seniors perform and, because he likes trying new things, thought it would be fun even with the ribbing he suspects he's going to get.
"Oh, I know some of my former co-workers are going to enjoy this," Kwasny said. "And I know some of the older guys are really going to laugh."
Chicagoans Barbara Strong, 63, and Carole Pooler, 70, said the dancing really was as much fun as it looked. It wasn't quite as easy even though they made it look that way.
"I used to tap dance, and that last step, I couldn't coordinate," Pooler said.

This product has been discontinued
It works on me. But note that i do not use the shampoo- as my scalp is sensitive. i like that immediately after using, my hair feels soft and weightless. It feels nice to run your fingers through it tangle free and yet there's good volume to my otherwise usually flat hair. Looks even better if you blow it alittle. Looks great the morning after too. Because i tried many products that didnt work, i would repurchase this despite the hefty price tag.
pls: i rate it 4 instead of 5 because there's some fly aways and i think its important to clarify once a week just in case there's build-up
This conditioner is really good compared to the shampoo. As it is lightweighted, it works well with a mild shampoo. Not heavy at all. It's really subtle, but leaves my hair a bit softer and untangled. I like how it makes my hair feel and look natural. I use it together with redken extreme shampoo, redken clear moisture moist ends (leave-in) and joico k-pak serum. I haven't tried the clear moisture conditioner, but I can imagine it's a lighter cross between the extreme conditioner and the clear moisture one.
My hairdresser recommended this to me for improving the strength of my hair, which is fine and tends to break easily. Used in conjunction with the Headstrong shampoo and the leave-in Anti-snap treatment, my hair definitely became healthier. Doesn't smell quite as nice as Redken's Extreme line, but works well!
This product is fabulous, used in conjunction with the Headstrong shampoo it provides great volume, softness and hair that smells so good.
I bought this conditioner as an impulse buy after getting my dark brown hair highlighted at a salon. I really like this conditioner. It smells great, and a little goes a long way. It makes my hair super soft, managable and so shiny. Love it.
More reviews by curiouslilannie
I'm not sure if I have a bad bottle of it or what not, but this conditioner seems to be really runny. Not only was I surprised at the thickness, but it doesn't seem to do anything at all for my hair. In fact, it seems to build up in my hair with time and doesn't do anything for fine hair. At least it doesn't weigh my hair down after showering.

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA - Concert organizer Livescape said it received a letter Friday saying that authorities in Muslim-majority Malaysia have banned a concert by U.S. pop singer Ke$ha after deciding it would hurt cultural and religious sensitivities.
She was set to perform Saturday at a Kuala Lumpur stadium.
The Ministry of Communications and Multimedia said separately that it was not allowing Ke$ha to perform for reasons of religion and culture.
Ke$ha, whose hits include "Tik Tok" and "Die Young," has songs that make explicit references to sex and liquor.
Last month, Malaysian officials also barred a performance by American metal band Lamb of God, accusing the Grammy-nominated group's work of being blasphemous.

Plenty of my friends are looking

Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Mystic!
Facts about Mystic
- Breed: American Pit Bull Terrier Mix
- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Female
Mystic's Info...
I am good with dogs.
This is Mystic. She's a young, shy, pittie girl who will be available soon. More info coming soon.
Other Pets at P.O.E.T. Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Mystic, a Garden City American Pit Bull Terrier dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Pit Bull Terrier for sale in Garden City, or seeking a American Pit Bull Terrier dog from a breeder in Garden City.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Garden City already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Garden City breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even American Pit Bull Terrier breeders who help with American Pit Bull Terrier rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Garden City paves the way for another one to be saved.

When we've got out from the underground I was absolutely stunned through the amount of people with this pedestrian square in Londons West End. Beads of unusual shapes or larger sizes could be implanted through a small incision, while smaller, more uniformed beads are inserted with a standard large gauged needle – similar for the way that other piercings are administered. They'd much like the latter a wee bit more (38% said so), and wish women weren't so swept up with a male's net worth, and would stop being so moody.
Both women and men love strap on suction dildo, since they enable that you have sexual experiences that are almost impossible using the natural sexual organs, for example lesbian penetration, and simultaneous vaginal and anal penetration. If you are completely new on the idea of using these stuffs and is anxious with any intimidating possibilities, a web-based adult shop is a great location to be. Many women need to add the best suction dildo to their tools so they can penetrate their lovers. You may also want to attempt holding a clean, new stud with the opening for the head of your penis when you urinate so you are able to see how your piercing will affect your power to urinate standing up. The United Kingdom took in almost 10,000 children from Nazi Germany and it is occupied territories, and many of them arrived the following, at Liverpool Street Station.
It is only the thought of utilizing something so private that has been useful for someone else's private enjoyment. An orgasm that occur upon by G-spot stimulation can often be experienced as deeper than clitorally induced orgasms and can often keep going longer and give more muscular contractions in the pelvic area. It can be a tonic richer like ginseng, pain reliever richer than arnica, circulation stimulant richer than ginkgo biloba, and sexual stimulant richer than Viagra. The fact that it's a few scattered laughs every now and then, as well as the inventive scene while using suction dildo, keeps me from rating Montenegro too low, but for the most part it didn't impress me.

Also, is this the newest of the 6.0 and what vehicle can I find it in (hoping to find a very low mileage take out)?

I'm growing Jacob's Cattle and Soldier Beans. I've picked the pods that are brown, and the beans inside are dry, though I am letting they dry out some more (in a bowl in the kitchen) to be on the safe side before I put them into jars.
My concern is this: Tonight we may get a frost, and most of the bean pods are full, but still very green. Do I: 1)pick them tonight & let them dry in the house? 2)Cover them with a sheet or plastic and not harvest them until the pods are brown? or 3)do something entirely different? I *do* have a food dehydrator. Could I use that? This is my first time growing beans of any sort, so any advice will be appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by farmerdilla (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 07 at 19:45
I am assuming you are expecting a light frost with Indian summer yet to come and the bean pods have not yet changed color. I would suggest covering them with an old bedsheet or something similar. Plastic does not give much protection unless held up off the plants. With a killing frost, you will have frost bite wherever the plastic touches the plant. |
- Posted by vtguitargirl Z4b VT (My Page) on Mon, Sep 17, 07 at 21:00
Yes, more warm fall days will follow. Will try the bed sheet. Thanks! |
I just went through the same situation three days ago, when a very early frost killed most of my beans. My advice is this: If it is at all practical, cover the plants to protect them. This should allow most of the pods to ripen, once the weather warms. Keep in mind, you would need to remove the cover as soon as the frost melts, or the sun could cook the plants to death. If you (or someone else) will be unable to remove the cover promptly, you might want to harvest all that is usable instead. Pick the pods that show signs of drying... wrinkled or flexible pods, and those that show browning at the stem and/or stem end of the pod. These beans should dry successfully, if placed indoors (a fan is recommended). As for the rest... pick them for fresh "shellies" (green-shelled beans), and either cook them fresh, freeze, or can them. If there is a silver lining to the death of my garden each year, it is the large crop of shellies that I harvest the day before. It is, literally, my last crop of the season - and a very tasty one. |
zeedman, I know you probably have important reasons for living where you do BUT, you need to move farther south. Jim |
"I know you probably have important reasons for living where you do BUT, you need to move farther south." Naaa... I like the challenge. ;-) Most years I have nearly ideal weather during the time when the majority of my beans are maturing - dry, windy, and cool. I have grown accustomed to having a garden which, while brief, is nearly disease-free. The local lake system deflects most of the strong storms that come my way, so I seldom suffer massive damage. The soil is rich, the water is plentiful & free, my freezers are full, and I share with everyone I know. This year was my best year ever (in over 3 decades of gardening) for okra, eggplant, and winter squash. If an occasional early frost is the only price I pay for that, so be it. I count my blessings. Besides, if a variety succeeds here, it will probably make it anywhere. (lol) I was STILL able to get dry okra seed from "Pentagreen", and from the Philippine vegetables that I trialled this year. BTW, my yardlongs, runner beans, & winged beans were killed completely in my main/rural garden (my home garden survived undamaged). But most of my common beans, limas, and soybeans survived, with varying degrees of damage (50-75%). They have aborted all immature pods, and are now ripening the remaining pods at a furious pace. I may, in fact, have one of my best crops ever of limas (from "1880's Butterbean"); and since I probably have two weeks or so before the hard freeze, I should get most of my remaining dry seed crops. Kinda makes me wonder... could a shot from a CO2 extinguisher trick some long-season beans into maturing earlier? An experiment for next year... |
Jimster, where are you in MA that is 7a? Cape Cod? I had 34 degrees 2 nights ago in my garden (the night before was 35) and our cranberry bogs had temps well below freezing 3 nights in a row. Glad it is warmer tonight. |

Does a light frost hurt the quality of the dry beans, if they are dry and ready to pick? thanks, Dean |
tomakers, Yes. Cape Cod is the Northernmost part of 7a in the East. The surrounding ocean moderates the temperature here by several degrees compared to the mainland. There have been some unusually chilly nights recently, but nothing below the 40's. Lows this week are in the 60's. zeedman, Good for you. You certainly are outside the norm with your gardening. You have a tremendous amount of know-how and data which you apply effectively. Jim |
Dean, if I recall the frost map correctly, you had your frost on the same night as mine. A light frost usually has little effect on the more mature pods; the larger leaves & young pods take the brunt of it the first night. However, if it freezes again, the greener pods (now without their blanket of leaf cover) could be destroyed. Dry pods should be OK after a light frost... but if you are saving seed to plant, pick them before you have a hard freeze. The moisture content of the seeds is still too high to survive extended freezing. |

Highway & Railway Development in India and China
India and China have both been experiencing high growth rates over the last two decades. Till a decade ago, the road networks in both the countries were severely deficient as compared to those in other developing countries, and the railways too desired substantial improvement. However, in the past 10 years both the countries have made good progress in these sectors. This note compares the experience of both the countries in terms of the development and performance of the highways and railways sector over a period of 10 years from 1992 to 2002.

How HIPAA helps protect your privacy
Sabrena Gregrich [September 08 2011]
If you've been to the hospital or doctor's office, you likely were given a copy of their privacy practices, then asked to sign a form stating that you received or were offered those practices.
You have HIPAA (the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) to thank for the privacy practices and form. While healthcare providers have long been concerned about patient privacy, HIPAA, passed in 1996, made protecting patient information law.
Part of that law is the HIPAA Privacy Rule, which set national standards on how information like medical records and other personal health information (PHI) must be protected. PHI, according to the Privacy Rule, is "individually identifiable health information", including:
• A person's past, present or future physical and mental health conditions
• Information about care provided to a person
• Information about payment for that care
• Other identifying information, including a person's name, address, birth date and Social Security number.
While a major goal of the Privacy Rule is to ensure that PHI is properly protected, the rule also allows for the flow of health information needed to provide quality health care. For example, if you have a blood test, the lab conducting the test must be able to send results to the doctor treating you. Under the Privacy Rule, that transfer of test results or sharing of other PHI is permissible without the patient's written authorization as long as it is for the purpose of treatment, payment, or healthcare operations.
On the other hand, the Privacy Rule prohibits the lab from sending test results to people or facilities not involved in your care, or for any other purposes that do not involve treatment, payment, or healthcare operations. In these situations, information cannot be shared without a HIPAA-compliant "Authorization for Release of Medical Information" signed by the patient or his/her legal representative.
The HIPAA Privacy Rule contains many other strict standards on how healthcare providers, health plans (including insurance companies) and certain other entities handle PHI. It also gives you the right to:
• See and get a copy of your health records
• Have corrections added to your health information
• Receive a notice telling you how your health information may be used and shared
• Get a report on when and why your health information was shared for certain purposes
If you believe your rights are being denied or your health information isn't being protected, you can file a complaint with your healthcare provider or health insurer, or with the U.S. Government.
To learn more about HIPAA, and how it affects you, visit the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website, www.hhs.gov, and search for HIPAA.
Sabrena Gregrich is the director of Health Information Management and Privacy Officer at The Hospital of Central Connecticut.

Hi everyone Since Cardoe didn't present the paper up to now, I'd like to get the discussion started how the voting procedure should look like in the future. So far we've introduced the _reopen_nominations person in the last vote and it didn't change a lot. But there are more questions: Does there always have to be 7 council members? If yes, what should happen when we i) don't have enough nominations and/or ii) _reopen_nominations is ranked somewhere between rank 1-7 ? If not, should there be a minimum? If yes, same questions as above. I know it's boring stuff but it's better to discuss it now instead of during the next election period. Cheers, Tiziano ps The results from the 2008b vote are still not on the council page, who's going to do that? -- ------------------------------------------------------- Tiziano Müller Gentoo Linux Developer Areas of responsibility: Samba, PostgreSQL, CPP, Python, sysadmin E-Mail : firstname.lastname@example.com GnuPG FP : F327 283A E769 2E36 18D5 4DE2 1B05 6A63 AE9C 1E30

Ref O.CH2600651
I spoke to Moerdani 0030 28 August (AEST).
- He took a surprisingly hard line on proposal to use RAAF aircraft. He said that because of the obvious incapacity of the Portuguese to act he saw no point in the proposed talks at Atauro. It was unrealistic to talk about the Governor transferring the seat of government.
- Moerdani said that the presence of an Australian Air Force plane at Atauro would create speculation on the main island. Its presence could also be misinterpreted both in Indonesia and in Portuguese Timor. It would also draw us into a situation which we had sought to avoid in respect of our naval ships in Darwin. I said that this was not so. We would see transporting Portuguese officers to the island in the context of hoping to get mediation between the parties going. It would not carry the risk of any use of counterforce such as would be involved in using our destroyers in Dili harbour.
- Moerdani repeated that the proposed talks would achieve nothing and that there was no point in pretending that they would. While it was our decision to use an RAAF aircraft for this purpose Indonesia would prefer us not to do so.
- I asked Moerdani whether he thought this view would be shared by his colleagues. He said 'yes' and that he had also discussed it with the Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, Professor Mochtar. (As you know Mochtar is also unhappy about the proposal but did not express reservations as forcefully or as explicitly as Moerdani.)
- Moerdani made a final comment which suggests that he may be getting a little frayed around the edges under present pressures. He said that speaking frankly he felt that the Portuguese 'trust the white races more than they trust us'. I took this to be a reference to the Portuguese seeking our assistance and operating from Australia to arrange mediation between the parties while at the same time declining Indonesia's repeated requests to be asked to do the only thing which they believe to be essential before humanitarian assistance can be resumed or talks between the parties started, namely to reestablish peace and order.
- I do not have the impression that a flight at the time proposed would be 'inopportune' unless the President has a sudden and unexpected change of heart or unless the Portuguese agree tonight or early tomorrow morning to Indonesia's request that they ask Indonesia, either openly or officially, to restore peace.
- I detect a tendency amongst the Indonesian authorities to be increasingly impatient with what they regard as Portugal's incapacity to act while remaining reluctant to ask Indonesia to do so. This also applies to what they regard as unproductive and essentially obstructive (to them) efforts to divert energies away from the real issue-the restoration of order-to proposals (the Atauro talks, the UN, etc) which they feel are bound to achieve nothing.
- I asked Moerdani whether, if we went ahead, he thought the proposed time of the flight would be 'inopportune'. He declined to make any comment on this. He said it was up to us. Incidentally I have assumed the times given in your O.CH260065 namely between 1130 and 1500 hours is Darwin time.
- My own view is that if we wish to fly the Portuguese officers to Atauro in an RAAF aircraft we should not necessarily be deterred by Indonesia's attitude, although it is clear that they would not welcome our action. Perhaps a compromise would be to arrange a charter flight for the Portuguese officers.

The interior of Los Magueyes in Ashwaubenon has been brightened up with elaborate Mexican artifacts and murals. Evan Siegle/Press-Gazette
Green Bay might seem like an odd place for a native of Veracruz, Mexico, to open his first restaurant.
But Julio Herrera wasnt focused on an actual destination when he walked into a restaurant kitchen and strapped on a busboys apron. The only way to get ahead is to keep thinking big no matter where it takes you.
I didnt speak any English when I came (to the United States) in 1999, Herrera said. I grew up on a farm, my fathers farm. I started working in a restaurant as a busboy in North Carolina. For a few months, I learn a little bit of English. I become a waiter. Then I become manager.
After six years of climbing the ladder, Hererra, along with his brothers, Reynaldo and Polo, decided to go all in with their pursuit of the American dream. Together, the trio runs the show at two of the areas most well-respected Mexican restaurants, Los Magueyes in Ashwaubenon and Mi Pueblo in Appleton.
I always wanted my own place, Julio said. I had friends in Green Bay. I thought to come here.
Open since June 2006, Los Magueyes specializes in freshness and authenticity, with everything from chips and salsa to sauces and special seasonings made in house by Polo and his kitchen staff.
Its very important to make our own here. We make it all, Julio said.
Some of the dishes are borne of family tradition and emphasize ingredients Julio grew up with. Others pay tribute to what Polo cooked in North Carolina, with an across-the-board focus on chicken, beef, pork, seafood and vegetarian fare.
This is Mexican food. Pollo Jalisco. Enchiladas Chilapa, Julio said. These are real enchiladas. Not the American enchiladas. It has the pico de gallo and the cilantro. People here are trying them now. They find theyre not like the normal enchiladas they know.
Trust is key, with loyal clientele going beyond the normal burrito or chimichanga expectations to try unique dishes like Enchiladas Chilapa (grilled chicken enchiladas topped with cheese dip, tomatillo sauce, sour cream and pico de gallo), Pollo Sinaloense (grilled chicken topped with red and yellow bell peppers, broccoli, red onion and zucchini) and Parrillada Veracruz (a mixed grill with lobster, shrimp, chicken, beef and Mexican sausage, plus two cheese quesadillas made with corn tortillas.)
Nothing is spicy, Julio said. I go out and people say, Where do you work? and I tell them a Mexican restaurant. Oh, it must be spicy. No, nothing is spicy. We can make sauce spicy
but people (dont need to) think that its crying and sweating.
Beyond the menu, elaborate touches have helped brighten up a cavernous interior that once housed the Backgammon Pub. Vibrant, intricately painted murals from a Milwaukee artist evoke the Mexican countryside, specifically the restaurant namesake, magueyes, or a species of agave plant from which tequila is made, Julio said.
It adds up to a picturesque history, one filled with equal parts inspiration, trepidation, cultural pride and now, success.
First year was scary, Julio said. Now, we have a reputation. We have loyal customers. I think weve made it.
Los Magueyes is at 2920 Ramada Way, Ashwaubenon; (920) 336-6010.

It's absolutely inevitable that Midway and Surreal's This Is Vegas will be compared to the vistas of Rockstar's GTA IV. And why wouldn't it? GTA pioneered the sandbox format and will probably revolutionise it once again come April when the game arrives. Everything that has come since then and dabbles in the mechanics of open-world, sandbox-styled gameplay is likened to GTA.
Unfairly or not. This Is Vegas, however, is the complete opposite to GTA's IV's world. Hugely vibrant, massively detailed and insanely colourful, Vegas is a neon soaked open-worlder with its tongue firmly planted in its cheek, a handful of change in its back pocket and a bottle of beer in the other ready for a night out on the lash in the world's greatest party capital. Why someone hasn't already thought of this is beyond us.
High roller, low roller
Rolling into the city on a cruddy bus with just fifty bucks nestled in your back pocket, you meet your old pal Joey Nissan and thus begins your zany story - a series of Looney schemes and a battle with a ruddy great bastard by the name of Preston Boyer who wants to turn the naughty city of Vegas into a family-friendly place akin to an extra sugar-coated version of that horrible place they call Disneyland. Eh?
So your mission, whether you choose to accept or not is to put the 'Sin' back in Sin City. And accept it you will as you party, gamble, fight, drive and party a little more in a dedicated effort to become the coolest cat in town.
Behind closed doors
The gaming world has been speculating for some time over what Surreal has been busy cooking up, but this month PSW got the chance to fly to Seattle to meet the team and snag a first look at this interesting move forward for the developer who were last seen scaring the living bejesus out of us with their brilliant and bloody terror trips, The Suffering and its shit-the-bed sequel.
Ushered through their plush new offices overlooking the shore of Elliot Bay and the Olympic mountain range in Seattle, PSW was treated to a peak at what's in store when Vegas hits PS3 later in the year. Working from a pyramid scheme of sorts, studio head Alan Patmore explains to us how the dev team breaks down the game and wants players to be able to picture it.
The bottom tier is comprised of the open world, hyper-realistic aspect of the gameplay mechanic in a simulated Vegas (you won't find real-life casinos here, rather alternate spins on classic gambling spots - more later) comprising combat missions, driving and 'Gigs' - side missions that earn you rep with the various Vegas factions (see boxout).
The second tier is Vegas Style - classic Vegas setpieces - made up of those stories and crazy urban legends that have filtered down over the ages. Mix these up with gambling, a slew of customization options, plenty 'wink wink, nudge nudge' moments and you've got the second serving of ingredients Surreal have added to this silly soup.
Top it all off with a huge lashing of partying including dancing, bouncing and party pick-ups - and you've got an idea of what Patmore and his crew are up to over the Emerald City.
This is going to be loud and proud gaming all the way and nobody is apologizing for the lewd or crude humour. And all of this is penned by the one-man gag machine, comedy scribe Jay Pinkerton who headed up Cracked magazine and National Lampoon.com (check him out at www.jaypinkerton.com) before moving to the world of games. Vegas is his maiden voyage.
Expect a heady blend of tasteless gags, jock humour and machine-gunned one-liners guaranteed to poke fun at all the right (and wrong) targets.

What People Say About NCLB
The Public:
Does the public think NCLB is working? No. Phi Delta Kappan International conducts an annual poll of the public's attitudes about education. In the 2006 poll, which included questions about NCLB, seven out of 10 of those who said they had some knowledge of the law said it is either making no difference in the local schools or hurting them.Classroom teachers and education support professionals:
Our members' opinions about NCLB are in sync with those of the public. They say that NCLB has not improved public education because of inadequate funding, the punitive nature of the law, and the sole reliance on standardized testing to measure student achievement.
Key findings of June 2006 poll of 1,000 NEA members:
- 69% disapprove (49% strongly) of NCLB vs. 29% approve.
- 57% want major changes to the law, 21% want minor changes, 17% favor repeal, and 4% want to keep it as it is.
- 95% want the Association to be active in working to change the law.
- 85% believe there is too much reliance on standardized testing.
Proposals to improve NCLB rated highest by our members (% strongly favor):
- Use multiple measures instead of just tests (71%)
- Measure student achievement over time instead of just the day of the test (70%)
- Ensure that employee rights under contracts and laws are respected (65%)
- The federal government should fully fund the mandates (64%)
- Restore the class size reduction program (63%).
Voices From America's Classrooms:
Association members are speaking out passionately, some with anger and sorrow, about the real impact that NCLB is having on them, their students, and their schools.
The bottom line:
There is widespread agreement that NCLB is presenting real obstacles to improving student learning and closing achievement gaps.
Association members are speaking out passionately, some with anger and sorrow, about the real impact that NCLB is having on them, their students, and their schools.

You Said It Billie, They made it too much of a joke and that disappointed me, but THQ will be closing their doors, and have sold out their rights to make games as well.. such as Saints row... I don't know who bought the rights but there is a good chance they won't make another Saint's row or if they do it won't be as good. so its disappointing that THIS is what we got to stop the series on.
Probably one of my favorite games. Just wish the story would of been a bit better.

Sense of smell
Name: matkru Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: Around 1993
How does the nose distinguish between different smells? What exactly is it smelling anyway and is there any way to reproduce this?
The nose distinguishes between different smells via the nasal epithelium at the top of you nasal pharynx. That is a delicate membrane innervated by many nerve cells. Each nerve cell has many proteins embedded in its cell membrane. These proteins have complimentary shapes to certain chemical groups that elicit scents. When an odorant molecule binds to one of these proteins, the cell depolarizes (due to a second messenger system in the membrane). This depolarization propagates back to the part of the brain called the olfactory bulb, below the forebrain. There the information from different cells is sorted out and sent to other brain structures, and the subjective sense of "smell" is elicited. Distinguishing between different odors is possibly accomplished by comparing different inputs from nerve cells with different protein receptors in them, or by "labeled lines" of neurons with a mix of proteins in them that are complimentary to a mix of odorant molecules that make up a scent. I know of know mechanical process that approximates smell by spectroscopy can distinguish different molecules The answer I have given is for vertebrates but invertebrates and plants can also smell, although by different mechanisms. Smelling in general is the subjective sensation experienced when one's olfactory system detects a scent; it can not be approximated by any mechanical process that I am aware of, although spectroscopy can be used to distinguish between chemical milieus.

Natural-gas boom gives U.S. new diplomatic tool in Ukraine
The crisis in Crimea is heralding the rise of a new era of U.S. energy diplomacy, as the Obama administration attempts to deploy the recent boom in domestic natural-gas production as a weapon to undercut Russian President Vladimir Putin's influence over Ukraine and Europe.
The New York Times
Key developments in Ukraine
Provocation charged: Pro-Russian demonstrators demanding greater independence from the central government overcame riot police in the eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk and poured into the regional administration building Wednesday, retaking it for a second time this week in a tug of war with police. The confrontation came after Sergey Taruta, a billionaire businessman from the region who was recently appointed the new governor, arrived Tuesday. Taruta signaled that police and the local government would resist pro-Russian activists calling for Donetsk to secede from Ukraine. Donetsk is one of several cities in eastern Ukraine where pro-Russian protests erupted Saturday.
Diplomatic front: A U.S. effort to broker the first diplomatic meeting between Russia and Ukraine over the Crimea confrontation failed Wednesday, but Russia's foreign minister said there would be more discussions. The Russian minister, Sergey Lavrov, spoke at France's Foreign Ministry in Paris after conferring with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, whose effort to arrange a direct meeting between Lavrov and the acting Ukrainian foreign minister, Andrii Deshchytsia — who was in the same building but not the same room — did not happen.
Economic aid: Trying to forge a united response to the crisis in Ukraine, the European Union (EU) is preparing to offer the country up to $15 billion in grants and loans to help shore up its new government and improve its precarious financial position, a leading EU official said Wednesday. The offer from José Manuel Barroso, head of the European Commission, followed the Obama administration's announcement a day earlier that the U.S. would give $1 billion in energy subsidies to Ukraine. The cash-starved government in Kiev has been struggling to pay its bills, a financial predicament that helped precipitate the current crisis.
Clinton slams Putin: Hillary Rodham Clinton said Wednesday that she was merely comparing the tactics used by Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin — and not equating the men — when she drew a parallel between Hitler's efforts to resettle Germans in the late 1930s to Putin's recent moves to issue Russian passports to citizens in Ukraine with ties to Russia. "Now if this sounds familiar, it's what Hitler did back in the '30s," Clinton said at a private fundraiser in Long Beach, Calif., on Tuesday, according to The Long Beach Press Telegram. "The Germans by ancestry who were in places like Czechoslovakia and Romania and other places, Hitler kept saying, 'They're not being treated right. I must go and protect my people' — and that's what's gotten everybody so nervous."
Seattle Times news services
WASHINGTON — The crisis in Crimea is heralding the rise of a new era of U.S. energy diplomacy, as the Obama administration tries to deploy the vast new supply of natural gas in the United States as a weapon to undercut the influence of the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, over Ukraine and Europe.
The crisis has accelerated a State Department initiative to export U.S. natural gas to Europe as a lever against Russia, which supplies 60 percent of Ukraine's natural gas and has a history of cutting off the supply during conflicts.
This week, Gazprom, Russia's state-run natural-gas company, said it would no longer provide gas at a discount to Ukraine, a move reminiscent of more serious Russian cutoffs of natural gas to Ukraine and elsewhere in Europe in 2006, 2008 and 2009.
The administration's strategy is to act as swiftly and aggressively as possible to weaken any moves by Putin in future years.
Although Russia remains the world's biggest exporter of natural gas, the U.S. recently surpassed it to become the world's largest natural-gas producer, largely because of breakthroughs in hydraulic fracturing technology, known as fracking.
"We're engaging from a different position because we're a much larger energy producer," said Jason Bordoff, a former senior director for energy and climate change on the White House National Security Council.
The Obama administration's tactics have attracted unlikely allies, including major oil and gas producers such as Exxon Mobil and Republican leaders on Capitol Hill, who this week urged the administration to speed up natural-gas exports.
Although environmentalists, some Democrats and U.S. manufacturers that depend on the competitive advantage of cheap domestic natural gas oppose the effort, they have fallen to the sidelines.
For Russia, energy supplies are as important to keeping a hold on Ukraine and the other former countries of the Soviet Union as is the Russian army.
Ukraine would freeze without Russian gas, and its flow has been a considerable source of wealth and corruption in both countries.
But Russia is also obligated by contract to provide natural gas to Western Europe, and Moscow remains dependent on Ukrainian pipelines to get it there.
David Dalton, editor of the Economist Intelligence Unit, said: "Russia has always used gas as an instrument of influence. The more you owe Gazprom, the more they think they can turn the screws."
But this time, there is a major difference.
As recently as 2007, U.S. natural-gas supplies were believed to be dwindling, and the George W. Bush administration was considering importing natural gas from Russia.
Since then, fracking, which environmentalists say could contaminate America's water supplies, has transformed the strategic landscape.
The U.S. does not export its natural gas. But the Energy Department has begun to issue permits to American companies to export natural gas starting in 2015.
U.S. companies have submitted 21 applications to build port facilities in the United States to export liquefied natural gas by tanker. The agency has approved six applications.
However, even if the Energy Department approves all the pending permits from companies seeking to export natural gas, the fuel could not begin flowing overseas for at least a few years.
Most U.S. natural-gas export terminals are in the early stages of construction. While one, in Sabine Pass, La., is tentatively scheduled to open in late 2015, most others will not start operating until 2017 or later.
At the helm of the new energy diplomacy effort is Carlos Pascual, a former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, who leads the State Department's Bureau of Energy Resources.
The 85-person bureau was created in late 2011 by Hillary Rodham Clinton, secretary of state at the time, for the purpose of channeling the domestic-energy boom into a geopolitical tool to advance U.S. interests around the world.
In an interview, Pascual said his team's efforts had already weakened Putin's hand and had helped lower Ukraine's dependence on Russia for natural-gas supplies to 60 percent, down from 90 percent.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, on Tuesday urged President Obama to "dramatically expedite" the export-approval process.
"The United States has abundant supplies of natural gas," Boehner said, "and the U.S. Department of Energy's excruciatingly slow approval process amounts to a de facto ban on American natural gas exports that Vladimir Putin has happily exploited to finance his geopolitical goals. We should not force our allies to remain dependent on Putin for their energy needs."

Receiver was released by Dolphins last month. Terry McCormick
Chad Johnson was officially charged Wednesday with domestic battery in the case involving his wife, the Associated Press reports.
The veteran wide receiver was released by the Miami Dolphins shortly after his wife, Evelyn Lozada, alleged that he headbutted her during an argument in South Florida.
Johnson, 34, was arrested and later freed on $2,500 bond. He has yet to find another NFL team to take a chance on him.

Sundial Group Videos
Introducing the Sundial Chudbus
With over 45 years experience in hospitality, the family owned-operated Sundial Group is very proud of its strong family values. Before the purchase of Highgate House in 1964 as a family home, Michael and Diana Chudley bought a bus, in order to take their family of 11 on holiday! And so, the family adventure started, soon leading to them becoming minor celebrities around Northamptonshire. It wasn't long before news of the 'Chudbus' spread when Gaumont Rank showed a newsreel (above) and the BBC broadcast a story about the extraordinary family and their bus.
Whilst in America the family were asked to appear live on Cliff Mitchelmore's Tonight programme which then led to them being approached by film makers to discuss using the idea as a basis for a movie - Cliff Richard's Summer Holiday! Almost 50 years later a newly purchased Chudbus was unveiled and the 'new' (registered in 1964) model has been making industry appearances ever since.

Weathersfield Residents Angry over Halcon Flaring Well
WARREN, Ohio -- Wildlife has fled. Pets are afraid to go outside. Residents are concerned that their health is at risk and fear their property values have plummeted.
"We've gone to hell in a hand basket," declared Sheldon Funk, a resident of the Westwood Lake Park, a mobile home community in Weathersfield Township that lies in the shadow of Halcon Energy's Kibler H1 well.
Since Saturday, a bright orange flame has shot upward from the well site across Westwood Lake, emitting a loud noise that residents say keeps them awake at night.
The process, known as "flaring," is a routine procedure used to relieve pressure in gas wells as they are tested. In a statement, Halcon has said that the test could last about two weeks and the noise is temporary. The company also noted that representatives from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources visited the site and found no problems at the well.
That didn't allay the concerns of the 20 or so residents of the Westwood Lake neighborhood who packed the meeting room of the Board of Trumbull County Commissioners Wednesday to make their voices heard.
Those who live in the park are concerned about the noise and that the gas burned at the well has the potential to cause health problems.
"We're like a bunch of guinea pigs," Earl Patch declared. "We need to find out what they are putting in the air and quit playing guessing games. We need to know."
Patch said he could smell the methane and has seen clouds of gas discharged at the site at 2:30 in the morning. "There's a lot of chemicals out there that we're breathing each and every day," he said, "that maybe 10 years down the road are going to have a serious effect on us."
The flaring is also having an effect on wildlife at the lake, Funk noted. Swans, ducks and blue heron have fled. A neighbor whose house is on the market was offered just $5,000, he related
"What's happened to our property values?" he asked rhetorically.
Commissioners passed a resolution Wednesday that requests the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency to monitor the air quality on every hydraulic fracturing site in Trumbull County.
The resolution, added Commissioner Paul Heltzel, asks the Ohio EPA to furnish specific data on each of the wells.
Funk inquired whether the commissioners have jurisdiction to impose a noise ordinance that could prevent such a situation from recurring. "My guess is that that's something that has to be handled by the township," Heltzel replied, but commissioners agreed to have the prosecutor's office review the law.
The noise is so bad, Funk continued, that it would be impossible to hear a warning siren to alert residents of a tornado or other emergency. "Let's get this investigated and make it a priority if you can," he urged.
Commissioner Frank Fuda noted that this is the first well in Trumbull County drilled close – in this case just more than 530 feet – to a densely populated area. "Something may have to be done to adjust that," he offered.
Fuda also reported that a representative from Halcon was invited to attend the meeting, but did not. However, Halcon spokesman Vince Bevacqua said that Halcon never committed to sending a representative to the commissioners meeting Wednesday.
"I want to know why was this put there in the first place," demanded Pat McCrudden, a resident of the park who lives closest to the well. "It's been horrific for all of us."
At night, the bright lights from the well shine through her bedroom, keeping her awake.
Some 800 people live in the neighborhood, McCrudden said, and they would have preferred that the well had been positioned further back on the far side of the Kibler property.
Fuda stated that the state of Ohio regulates the oil and gas industry and commissioners have no authority to stop a well from being developed in areas that are privately leased. The first point of contact, the commissioner said, should be the district's state representatives or senators.
What irks McCrudden most, she said, is that Halcon didn't inform the neighborhood of what their activities would consist of.
Activist John Williams told commissioners that there are alternatives to flaring, such as well sites using green completion equipment. In West Virginia, for example, drillers use such equipment voluntarily.
"The only problem is that it costs $180,000," he said.
Funk said that he's not taking a stand against the industry, but noted he wants to see its activities run safely.
"I'm very happy to see Halcon here -- they're bringing jobs," Funk said. "But at what cost?"
