Baraclough thrilled with McDonald
Motherwell manager Ian Baraclough believes Scott McDonald's hunger to keep the club in the top flight is the most encouraging aspect of their latest transfer deal.

The 31-year-old, who last played for Millwall on January 10, has 12 games to make an impact and get the Scottish Premiership bottom club out of relegation danger.

"Is the School House the Proper Place to Teach Raw Sex?" Phrasing!!
"Today, most American adults can call up some memory of sex ed in their school, whether it was watching corny menstruation movies or seeing their school nurse demonstrate putting a condom on a banana. The movies, in particular, tend to stick in our minds. Screening films at school to teach kids how babies are made has always been a touchy issue, particularly for people who fear such knowledge will steer their children toward sexual behavior. But sex education actually has its roots in moralizing: American sex-ed films emerged from concerns that social morals and the family structure were breaking down." — Slut-Shaming, Eugenics, and Donald Duck: The Scandalous History of Sex-Ed Movies

The school in Auckland with a radical 'no rules' policy (12:00; 2014) [via] has a little in common with the school in Framingham with a radical 'no curriculum' policy (9:13; 2009) [previously], which has a little in common with the self-directed IT school in Paris for ages 18 to 30 (2:13; 2014), which takes some inspiration from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (excerpt, 12:24; 1981).
The Man Who Built New York City's Schools
In an unmarked grave in Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx lies the five-foot-seven-inch body of a man responsible for bringing untold amounts of sunshine to New York City's youth. During his eighteen-year tenure as Superintendent of School Buildings for the New York City Board of Education, Snyder built public schools with windows that made up nearly sixty percent of the buildings' facades, much of the remaining space covered in lavish ornamentation. "There is not a dark corner in the whole structure," social reformer Jacob Riis wrote of Snyder's design in his seminal 1902 text "The Battle With the Slum." "Literally, he found barracks where he is leaving palaces to the people...I cannot see how it is possible to come nearer perfection in the building of a public school."

The hardest word
Trusting God
Patrick Henry College has been called "God's Harvard." The tiny, elite school is considered a safe haven for fundamentalist evangelical Christians. It teaches a dominionist "Biblical Worldview" and has a uniquely religious campus culture (pdf) that emphasizes evangelical moral values. Which leaves female students in a particular bind: How do you report sexual assault at a place where authorities seem skeptical that such a thing even exists?

Sudbury Valley School - "It upends your views about what school is for, why it has to cost as much as it does, and whether our current model makes any sense at all. But what's most amazing about the school, a claim the founders make which was backed up by my brief observations, my conversations with students, and the written recollections of alumni, is that the school has taken the angst out of education. Students like going there, and they like their teachers. Because they are never made to take a class they don't like, they don't rue learning. They don't hate homework because they don't have homework. School causes no fights with their parents." (previously-er) [more inside]

The Course of Their Lives. While much in medicine has changed over the last century, the defining course of a first year medical student's education is still 'Gross Anatomy.' This is their hands-on tour of a donated cadaver -- an actual human body -- and is an experience which cannot be replicated by computer models. When Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Mark Johnson came up with the idea of following a med school gross anatomy class for a feature story, his editor challenged him to make it different. So he chose to intertwine the students' stories with that of Geraldine 'Nana' Fotsch, a living future donor, as sort of a stand-in for the cadaver. (Via. This four-part series contains descriptions of a human dissection. Some may find it disturbing.) [more inside]
Ready to learn
An estimated 8.6 percent of parents now wait until their child is six to send them to kindergarten, hoping that their maturity and increased physical size will give them advantages in the classroom and on the sports field. However, the trend, called "academic redshirting" may actually be extremely harmful, according to recent studies.
My Daughter's Homework Is Killing Me
Karl Taro Greenfeld wondered if his daughter had too much homework to do... so, for a week, he did all of it with her, for hours each night. "The school year hasn't been extended. Student-teacher ratios don't seem to have changed much. No, our children are going to catch up with those East Asian kids on their own damn time."

What if the real problem is school itself?
School is a prison - and damaging our kids - We're not surprised that learning is unpleasant. We think of it as bad-tasting medicine, tough to swallow but good for children in the long run. Some people even think that the very unpleasantness of school is good for children, so they will learn to tolerate unpleasantness, because life after school is unpleasant. Perhaps this sad view of life derives from schooling.

"Until you acquire an education, you will never find out who you really are."
In seventh grade, after school let out, Humaira Mohammed Bachal opened her home in Thatta (Pakistan) to 10-12 friends who weren't allowed to go to school, and taught them what she was learning. By the time she was 16 and ready to take her 9th grade exams, (over her father's objections,) she and four other girls were teaching more than 100 students. Now, her sister Tahira, (age 18,) is principal of the school Humaira founded: with 22 teachers serving more than 1,000 kids in a Karachi slum (yt).

Great Wealth Is A Public Trust
Last year, The Cooper Union For The Advancement Of Science And Art publicly admitted it was in dire financial straits and raised the idea of charging tuition for the first time in 110 years. The students responded in an appropriate manner. But now as the specter of tuition becomes closer to reality the students took a more drastic option: Since Monday, eleven undergraduate students have expertly barricaded themselves inside the top floor of the New York college. They talk about what they want. They even get pizza. [more inside]

In the US, an undergraduate education used to be an option, one way to get into the middle class. Now it's a hostage situation, required to avoid falling out of it. And if some of the hostages having trouble coming up with the ransom conclude that our current system is a completely terrible idea, then learning will come unbundled from the pursuit of a degree just as as songs came unbundled from CDs.Napster, Udacity, and the Academy - about how online education startups are changing the notion and practice of higher education - by Clay Shirky (previously)

Teaching 9/11
The Challenge of Teaching 9/11 "The events of September 11th are being discussed, taught, and commemorated in high school classrooms throughout the nation this week. And in many of those classrooms, the students are increasingly too young to have many actual memories of their own of that day's events. I visited two high school classes in the San Francisco Bay Area to see how teachers are approaching the topic, what the students know and don't know, and how they feel about the events surrounding that day."

A rear obstacle detecting system for automotive vehicles includes an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver unit, distance detecting unit and an indicator for measuring distance to an obstacle while a vehicle is in backward movement. The ultrasonic transmitter/receiver unit having a ultrasonic vibrator is always energized as long as the vehicle is in an operating condition irrespective of whether the vehicle is in a backward movement or not, in order to maintain the ultrasonic vibrator being vibrated to achieve a self-cleaning function. The indicator is energized only when the vehicle is in backward movement.
What is claimed is:
1. A rear obstacle detecting system for an automotive vehicle comprising:
ultrasonic transmitting and receiving means having an electrically operable ultrasonic vibrator mounted at the rear exterior portion of said automotive vehicle;
electrically operable computing means in response to a received signal from said ultrasonic transmitting and receiving means for determining a distance to an obstacle in the backward direction of said automotive vehicle;
electrically operable utilizing means connected to said computing means for utilizing a result of the determination of said computing means;
first detection means for detecting whether said automotive vehicle is in an operating condition or not;
first power supply control means for energizing said ultrasonic transmitting and receiving means by an electric power source of said vehicle in response to the detection of said detecting means that said vehicle is in the operating condition,thereby to vibrate said ultrasonic vibrator so as to be maintained clean so long as said vehicle is operating;
second detection means for detecting a backward movement of said vehicle; and
second power supply control means for energizing said utilization means by said electric power source in response to the detection of the backward movement of said vehicle, thereby to render said utilization means operable only when said vehicleis moving backwardly.
2. A rear obstacle detecting system according to claim 1, wherein said first power supply control means further energizes said computing means when said first detection means detects that said vehicle is in the operating condition.
3. A rear obstacle detecting system according to claim 1, wherein said second power supply control means further energizes said computing means when said second detection means detects that said vehicle is in the backward movement.
4. A rear obstacle detecting system according to claim 1, wherein said first detecting means detects whether a key switch of said vehicle is turned on or not.
5. A rear obstacle detecting system according to claim 1, wherein said second detecting means detects whether one of a transmission shift lever switch and a gear position switch is turned to a reverse position.
6. A rear obstacle detecting system according to claim 1, wherein said utilization means is an indicator for indicating the distance to the obstacle.
7. A rear obstacle detecting system for an automotive vehicle comprising:
an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver unit having a single ultrasonic vibrator for transmitting and receiving an ultrasonic wave, said ultrasonic transmitter and receiver unit being mounted at the rear exterior portion of said automotivevehicle;
a distance detecting unit connected to said ultrasonic transmitter and receiver unit and including an excitation circuit for exciting said ultrasonic vibrator and computing means for detecting a distance to an obstacle from the receivedultrasonic wave;
an indicator connected to said computing means of said distance detecting unit for indicating said distance detected;
a first power supply line for interconnecting said distance detecting unit to an electric power source of said automotive vehicle via a key switch, thereby to energize said ultrasonic vibrator through said excitation circuit to cause vibrationsthereof only when said key switch is closed and said automotive vehicle is operating; and
a second power supply line interconnecting said indicator to said electric power source via a transmission reverse key and said key switch thereby to energize said indicator only when said transmission key and said key switch are closed and saidautomotive vehicle is in backward movement.
The present invention relates to a system designed so that the distance from an automotive vehicle to an obstacle in the rear of the vehicle is detected and indicated by means of ultrasonic waves, thus aiding the driving of the vehicle during itsbackward movement.
In the past, both systems employing ultrasonic waves and systems employing optical instruments for the purpose of detecting an obstacle in the rear of a vehicle have been proposed. These systems have been necessarily mounted on the exteriortrimming of the vehicle compartment and consequently the systems have been placed in surroundings where they are subject to temperature and humidity as well the deposition of dirt or dust. In particular, the deposition of dirt or dust has considerablydeteriorated the functions of these systems. Thus, these systems have been subject to the trouble of requiring frequent and positive checks despite the systems being mounted on the exterior trimming at the rear part of the vehicle compartment where itis very difficult to look at. The addition of a self-checking device for overcoming this difficulty results in a considerable increase in the cost.
With a view to overcoming the foregoing deficiencies in the prior art, it is the object of the present invention to provide an improved detecting system so designed that the self-cleaning function of the system itself is utilized so as to cleanthe detecting system with a simple construction and thereby to ensure accurate operation and improved durability to the system.
More specifically, noting the fact that in contrast to optical detecting systems, a detecting system of the type employing an ultrasonic transmitter/receiver unit itself has a self-cleaning function due to the excitation action of its ultrasonicvibrator, the present invention proposes a specific construction for positively utilizing this fact. In other words, while the known rear obstacle detecting systems have been generally constructed so as to operate only during the backward movement ofvehicles, in accordance with the system of this invention its power supply circuit is so constructed that during the normal operation of a vehicle at least the ultrasonic vibrator is excited so that the self-cleaning function is performed frequentlyduring the operation of the vehicle. Furthermore, it is constructed so that its indicator is energized when the vehicle is moved backward, thus allowing the system to serve its rear obstacle detecting function.
Whether the vehicle is in the normal operation can be directly detected in response to the closing of the accessory contacts or the ignition contacts of the key switch or the closing of the power supply circuit of the vehicle. Furthermore, thesame can be detected indirectly in response to the rising of the neutral point voltage of the alternator.
Whether the vehicle is in reverse or in a backward movement can for example be detected in response to the transmission shift lever switch or the gear position switch. Such switch may be inserted directly in the supply circuit of the indicatoror the switch may be inserted in the energization circuit of the supply main relay.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a first embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a second embodiment of the present invention.
The present invention will now be described in greater detail with reference to the illustrated embodiments.
In accordance with the embodiment shown in FIG. 1, the detecting system comprises a transmitter/receiver unit 1 mounted at the rear exterior portion of an automotive vehicle and including an ultrasonic vibrator for effecting the transmission andreception of ultrasonic waves, an electronic distance detecting unit 2 including an excitation circuit 2a for driving the ultrasonic transmitter/receiver unit 1 and computing means 2b for processing the received signal of the ultrasonictransmitter/receiver unit 1 to detect the distance to an obstacle, an indicator 3 responsive to the output signal of the distance detecting unit 2 to indicate the distance to the obstacle, a switch 4 responsive to the transmission so as to be closed whenthe gear position is reverse and a power supply circuit including supply lines 5a, 5b and 5c. In the power supply circuit, the supply line 5a is connected to a vehicle battery 7 through a key switch 6, the line 5b is connected between the line 5a andthe distance detecting unit 2 and the line 5c is connected to energize the indicator 3 via the line 5a and the gear switch 4. The need to specially provide the switch 4 may be eliminated by using as the line 5c the supply line of the reverse lamp forinforming of the reverse movement of the vehicle. Furthermore, the ultrasonic vibrator may be comprised of the EFR-R40KZ manufactured by Matsushita Electric Industry Co., Ltd.
With the construction described above, the switch 4 is opened except when the transmission position is reverse, so that no electric power is supplied to the indicator 3 and the indicator 3 is not energized. On the other hand, irrespective of thetransmission position, the distance detecting unit 2 is supplied with power so long as the vehicle is in operation or the key switch 6 is closed, so that an electric signal is always applied to the ultrasonic transmitter/receiver unit 1 and theultrasonic vibrator is excited, thus preventing the deposition of dirt, dust or the like. When the transmission position is changed to reverse so that the switch 4 is closed, the indicator 3 is operated so that the distance to a rear obstacle isindicated and the operation of the vehicle in reverse is aided.
The second embodiment shown in FIG. 2 differs from the first embodiment in that the supply of power to the computing means 2b in the distance detecting unit 2 is also effected via the switch 4 and thus the computing means 2b and the indicator 3are operated simultaneously.
It will thus be seen from the foregoing that in accordance with the present invention, by virtue of its construction whereby the ultrasonic vibrator is always operated when the vehicle is in operation and the indication function is performed onlyduring the reverse movement of the vehicle, the entire system is activated only in case of need and also the self-cleaning effect owing to the excitation of the ultrasonic vibrator is allowed its full play, thus preventing the deposition of dirt, dust orthe like and ensuring positive operation and improved durability of the system.

New 3M SelfCheck QuickConnect Interface Brings Revolutionary Options To Libraries And Patrons
3M Library Systems will unveil a fresh and re-imagined interface for its 3M™ SelfCheck™ system at the American Library Association Annual Conference & Exhibition, June 27 – July 1 in Chicago. After developing the SelfCheck category more than 20 years ago, 3M continues its leadership with the new 3M™ SelfCheck™ QuickConnect Interface, which gives libraries brand new tools to increase circulation, promote events, and enhance the user experience—all with a simplified interface that helps users do more with fewer steps.
Through an exciting new partnership, 3M SelfCheck stations will now draw on the power of NoveList® Select to give customers title recommendations from the library's catalog based on the materials they are checking out. Customers can then place a title on hold, or print or e-mail recommendations. With eye-catching displays of cover art and summaries, the Recommended Reads feature engages customers, helping to plan their next visit and keep them coming back to the library. 3M's system for providing recommendations through the library catalog at SelfCheck is patent pending.
"Libraries will have an opportunity to connect more strongly to those patrons who may ordinarily do no more than come in the library, pick up a book, check out and leave," said Duncan Smith, vice president of NoveList. "Now those 'drive by' readers will have a reason to plan their next visit to the library."
The new QuickConnect Interface also gives libraries the opportunity and the tools to promote events, activities and services. The Patron Promos feature makes it easy to upload customized promotions and display them to customers at checkout, making an impression when you have their full attention.
"The SelfCheck kiosk is typically the last interaction the patron has with the library before leaving, so it's important to us to take advantage of those moments and leave a lasting impression," said Carolyn Anthony, director of the Skokie Public Library. "The new interface lets us promote more of our offerings, and tools like Recommended Reads help us deliver a high level of service to patrons and keep them coming back."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

"Lead," Basulto reluctantly translated.
"Yes, lead," Pestonit repeated. "We tried to infiltrate to kill Castro."
Out flew Basulto's arms and the cautionary admonitions. He had, after all, spent much of the past two hours explaining his dedication to nonviolence.
"This was when?" asked the reporter.
"Let's forget about it," Pestonit replied softly, taking the hint and sidestepping to an impassioned plug for Brothers to the Rescue and its mission of unarmed opposition.
"No way can we solve the Cuban problem if it's not by this method of active nonviolence," he declared. "Right now the United States is a target of terrorism, and a very, very big one. How would this new administration see Cubans in Miami if we start supporting or doing terrorist acts?"
Pestonit's anecdote and awkward segue, however, was apt, for José Basulto is not the likeliest messenger of a nonviolent creed. Though for the past decade the former CIA-trained explosives and sabotage expert has preached nonviolent resistance in the battle against Castro, he abstains from condemning others still inclined to use firearms, bombs, and missiles. And as far as the Cuban government is concerned, he remains a terrorist.
"There has been enough bloodshed, enough hatred, enough vengeance on the island," said Basulto in one breath, while citing an exception with the next: "If the Cuban people were ever -- and listen to this very clearly -- if the people of Cuba were ever willing to choose violence as a path out of the situation, we would support them."
And of those exiles who promote the violent overthrow of Castro? Only one, Ernestino Abreu, commands Basulto's admiration. A 76-year-old who was arrested in Cuba in May 1998, Abreu and three other aging Cuban Americans were arrested after landing a small boat loaded with weapons on the western side of the island. "He's the only one of those who have been proposing violence for years who had the guts to go there and put it in practice," Basulto continued. "And I respect him very much for that. To me he's a hero, let me put it that way. Even though he was wrong. He had the opportunity to do something. He thought he could do it. He tried it. It did not come out right. I would have advised him against it. But that was his choice."
Basulto, too, must live with a choice that did not come out right: the decision to fly toward Cuba on February 24, 1996. His trajectory that day followed the fine line that runs through 40 years of Cuban conflict, a shadowy line that falls between provoking violence and being its innocent victim. His flight ended in Opa-locka, but not before a Cuban MiG pilot had shot down two other Brothers to the Rescue planes, killing four of his group's members. Four years later the decision to fly that day has landed him in the middle of the Cuban spy trial, now in its fifth month. One of the defendants is charged with conspiracy to commit murder, accused of informing Havana's intelligence headquarters that Brothers to the Rescue planes might head toward Cuba the day of the shootdown.
There is in Basulto a confounding mixture of arrogance and raffish humor, of grandiose plans for Cuban liberation and blind resolve that has brought those plans to counterproductive, and even deadly, results.
The 60-year-old native of Santiago de Cuba is now a U.S. citizen, but he doesn't hide his higher allegiance to Cuba, albeit a Cuba without Castro. He dismisses the U.S. trade embargo against Cuba as "a political tool of the United States."
He boasts that his repeated flights into Cuban airspace in the Nineties destabilized U.S.-Cuba relations, then disavows that was his intention a few sentences later. Even so, the tactic produced no tangible advance for the anti-Castro cause. He defied repeated warnings from the State Department, Federal Aviation Administration officials, and Havana's air-traffic controllers when he flew toward Cuban waters that terrible day in 1996. But he holds Fidel Castro responsible for the four deaths. And though it was a Cuban MiG that shot down the Brothers to the Rescue Cessnas, Basulto has publicly accused members of the Clinton administration of being accomplices to murder. As a survivor of the deadly encounter, his testimony at the spy trial might have been expected to evoke sympathy from the jurors. Yet the prosecution didn't call him to testify, and his pugnacious performance in March as a hostile defense witness may instead help the Cuban agents go free, specifically the spy with the murder charge.

Simon stops in Champaign to tout "no text" pledge
WDWS Radio
September 19, 2012
By Michael Kiser
Illinois' Lieutenant Governor continued her push in Champaign on Wednesday to end texting while driving.
Lieutenant Governor Sheila Simon stopped at Parkland College as a part of national "No Text on Board" day. Simon also urged students to take the "It Can Wait" pledge to not text and drive.
Simon said she believes students who take the pledge will remain committed to it and put down the cell phone while behind the wheel. And she feels community colleges are the ideal place to target the campaign.
Simon also said the key is getting to people to realize and understand the dangers of texting and driving.
Simon said each year, there are 100,000 accidents in the U.S. that involve injury or death as a result of texting while driving.
It's already illegal in Illinois to read, type, or send a text message while driving.

Oh don't get me wrong, I love Republicans.

It's more likely to occur on Big Brother.

Oh I know you were teasing. Personally, I hope they leave the politics at home. One reason I quit watching awards show was I was tired of seeing celebs turn it into their platform, whatever it may be. I know that politics can add a dynamic and dysfunction to the game, but I think it'll be the same old bickering we've seen before. I can see Shane being outspoken and overconfident and the alpha male that everyone hates, so I'm sure whatever his politics and whether he chooses to bring them into the game probably won't make a difference. It'll just add fuel to the fire.

I need a way for users to search through these categories, so the best way is to display the current categories children and provide the user to go back to the last category. (basically a breadcrumb trial with multiple categories.
In a nutshell, how can I display children categories based on the current parent that is active? For example if one of my category structure was as follows:
- Cuddly Toys
- Small Toys
- Teddy Bears
- Lego
- Cars
- Dolls
- Video Games
- Board Games
- Bricks
If the user clicks "Toys", this will redirect to a page with all the toys, then the user can search further by now selecting one of the children categories "AGE 2-5, AGE 5-10 or AGE 10-16. If they select one of these, they can now search further by choosing another child.
Thanks in advance

EDIT: you can get the pixel tool at my website, http://www.thebackalleys.
com, on the "anipedia" link. search for "flash extensions"!
a christmas gift for the coolest super saiyan in the galaxy
based off the music video "move your feet" by junior senior
100% original sprites made with the pixel tools plug-in for flash
if you don't get it, dont' worry. it's a bunch of inside jokes, so just watch and enjoy, don't think too hard. :P
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Awesome mashup of original sprite animation, all of it incredibly cute and crispy. The way the animation movies through different themes in the intermessions and jumps back to the cahracters with each verse is pretty nice. Not sure if any of these characters are based on real-life ones, though some seem recognizable. The characterless characters, I mean the objects with faces, the jumping donuts, the sliced onion, all of those are just amazing. And there's DBZ mixed in too, so it's just PERFECT. There's an amazing amount of content in this considering everything was custom made. Even the intro was like an animation just standalone. Great work!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
The original one was made with Amiga, but this one is just as good. =p

In recent years, reusable water bottles have taken on stylish new looks, but making a fashion statement pales in comparison to the value of the life-saving role fluids play in reducing risks from too much summertime heat and humidity.
It is an interesting proposal which has proven to be successful in other communities.
Obesity is a growing problem in the United States. And that is not just a catchy headline.
In the world of "no-brainers," Bullitt Fiscal Court was correct in jumping into the Substance Abuse Program offered by the state corrections cabinet.
If I were going to run for office, the office that I would run for would be the school board, district four. Due to my background in social work, my main focus would be on the alternative school in Bullitt County.
Some government agencies enter this new fiscal year with a smile on their faces.
Check out the latest scams and bad business in BBB's July 2011 Hot Topics!
1. Grandparents Scam – Local grandparents are getting calls from scammers who are pretending to be their grandchild, or an authority figure saying their grandchild is in trouble outside of the country. The scammer says the grandchild was in an accident or arrested and needs money wired for help. Grandparents are losing thousands of dollars from this scam.
The biggest one-day event in Bullitt County will return for its 10th occasion.
On behalf of the Bullitt County Family YMCA staff and Board of Directors, as well as the Bullitt County Chamber of Commerce, I'd like to say thanks to individuals and companies who made the wonderful work conducted at the swimming pool beside Bullitt Central High School possible.

Better Business Bureau has learned that Sylvan Learning Center of Elizabethtown, Ky. has received reports of two men selling "Sylvan" books door-to-door in Hardin County.
The men are wearing name tags to look like official representatives of the organization, and one even told a consumer he was "an exchange student from Florida," trying to legitimize sales.
FRANKFORT – One of the most persistent challenges the United States has faced for generations can be summed up in a single word: Poverty.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are nearly 43 million people in the United States, including one in five children, whose household income meets that definition, which is defined at little more than $22,000 for a family of four.
June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. BBB is marking the occasion by calling attention to the many ways the elderly are victimized. BBB receives hundreds of phone calls each year from senior citizens who have been targeted or victimized by scammers. Some are scammed with fake lottery checks, bogus travel deals, and financial fraud. Others are bullied by door-to-door sales people.
Seniors are targeted often, because they are trusting and are afraid or embarrassed to report fraud when it occurs. The top scams against seniors include:
Governmental agencies throughout the state are busy working on their budgets for the upcoming fiscal year.
June is Home Safety Month (Home Safety Council, 2011). When considering ways to make your home safer, many people consider covering electrical sockets, looking for loose cords and wires, or putting together an emergency supplies kit. Have you ever considered the connection between home safety, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs? There are many ways to help make your home safer for children and grandchildren who will be home from school on summer break.
Don't anyone misread the headline. The Bullitt County Fair will provide some exotic animals during its annual run June 13-18.
For many, Memorial Day represents the unofficial beginning of summer, marking the onset of barbecues, parties and water sports. With that in mind, the Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) reminds the public to continue to follow guidelines for food, outdoor and water safety.

Stocks Hold to Gains
Updated from 10:57 a.m. EST
U.S. stocks were trading higher Friday as traders shrugged off the worst monthly unemployment reading in more than a decade and troubling earnings statements from the automotive sector.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 131 points at 8826, and the S&P 500 added 13 points to 918. The Nasdaq jumped 25 points to 1634.
Economic data releases continued to point to a dismal downturn. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that October nonfarm payrolls declined by 240,000, worse than analysts' projections of 200,000. The September job-loss figure was revised to 284,000 from 159,000. The unemployment rate came in at 6.5%, its highest reading since 1994 and above economists' estimates of 6.3%.
"We knew it was coming," said Neil Hennessy, fund manager at Hennessy Funds. "When your stock is down 50-60%, why not clean your company out? Clean everything off the books, simply because you might as well go into 2009 and 2010 lean. "Everything gets blown out of proportion for short-term consideration," said Hennessy. He said that U.S. employees are highly resilient. "They're not going to stay unemployed. ... If you take what we've already gone through, which is the auto, housing and finance -- those three sectors got absolutely annihilated -- and we're still here." "The fourth quarter is shaping up to be one of the weakest in decades," wrote Chris Low, chief economist at FTN Financial, in an email. "The Fed will almost certainly cut rates to less than 1%, but there's not much more they can do there." He said the numbers bolster the argument for fiscal stimulus and that the Treasury may once again intervene in the financial system.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors
