A Welcome For My Guests Poem by Lora Colon
My head is like a grand hotel,
The guests arrive, one by one,
Some with great accomplishments,
Others are allowed just for fun
They come with gifts of poetry,
Some regale me with their song;
They're all gifted and interesting,
To evict them would just be wrong
I graciously accept their gifts,
In return, I give them a home;
And every now and then I embark
On the writing of another poem
If not for them, where would I be?
There'd be no reason or rhyme;
There'd be no music within these walls,
Ideas, just drifting through time
Was it the gypsy who wandered in
That caused this urge to roam?
But, oh, how he commands that violin!
How could I send him home?
I admire you all and bid you stay,
A group so witty and cunning;
A special thanks to the taxi driver
That keeps the meter running!
And so, my guests, I make a toast:
A finer group I've never met;
You're welcome to stay as long as you like,
Or until I grow old and forget

Here I am and ready

Poetry is a grand hotel of guests. Checking in and checking out. Each has a voice crying to be heard, and yours speaks louder than a lot of them. But not so loud as to be an thorn. It's more like a rose. Nice writing Lora! (Report) Reply

9°c A few clouds
Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Posted: 11/19/2012 1:00 AM | Comments: 0
Gary Bettman oversees the NHL in good times and bad. He makes forceful decisions and stands behind them, no matter public perception. As such he can be a lightning rod for criticism, especially in times like these.
For example, this recent assessment courtesy of Red Wings defenceman Ian White: "I gotta be honest, I personally think (Bettman's) an idiot. Since he's come in, I think he's done nothing but damage the game."
On the other hand, there are more player jobs paying more money than ever before, seven teams in Canada and a new U.S. national broadcast agreement. In many ways, the NHL has never had it so good. Except, of course, for the league's inability to play games every seven years or so.
Bettman cannot keep everyone happy. Ownership wants it one way, the players another. Bettman must try to find the balance that is best for the game. He's still searching.
Bettman is not a grip-and-grin boss such as John Ziegler, and he's certainly not of the Gil Stein puppet ilk. Bettman is a target. Especially as a commissioner who refuses to hide behind ownership but instead puts himself front and centre for all to praise or criticize as they see fit.
Bettman has a vision and he drives it. He's polarizing. One can agree or disagree with his approach, but there's no questioning his zeal.
The double-edged sword of Bettman's leadership is that while he has overseen unprecedented revenue growth for the league and record paydays for its players, he has also had to contend with labour strife.
During Bettman's reign, the NHL has seen its annual revenue grow to top the $3-billion mark, but for the second time in eight years, the league is in the midst of a lockout. After losing the entire 2004-05 season, the threat of another missed campaign is becoming very real.
Bettman has been under heavy fire from the league's players, with many questioning his leadership. But he is standing firm.
Bettman spoke with the Free Press for just over 30 minutes Sunday morning.
Here's the entire telephone interview.
FREE PRESS: At this moment, where do things stand and what is the gulf between the two sides preventing a deal?
GARY BETTMAN: There seems to be a fundamental disagreement on many of the core issues. We have proposed a 50-50 split of HRR (hockey-related revenue) which has not been agreed to. We have raised issues with respect to how the system works and the adjustments we think need to be made, and there doesn't seem to be agreement or even a willingness to agree on them.
FP: The players say, "We gave to get to 50-50. Why should we give any more? There's nothing in this deal for us." What do you say to that?
GB: Twofold. One, we want to make sure the system works well and continues to work well. There are certain trends and issues that have arisen that we believe need to be adjusted in order for us to have the competitive balance that we want and need to enable us to continue to grow the game. What's in this deal for the players? Give or take $14 billion over the next seven years.
FP: The league has 30 teams. Not all are stable and the league remains in flux. There are franchises that don't work. The players say revenue sharing should fix those problems. But meaningful revenue sharing historically comes from league-wide revenue such as national TV rights, and there's not enough in that pot right now to fix all the league's woes. It's hard to get markets like Toronto, or even Winnipeg for that matter, to subsidize teams like Phoenix or Miami that don't generate substantial gate revenue. Is this the crux of why there is a lockout?
GB: Not completely. It's not wholly inaccurate, but it's more inaccurate than not. The fact is, we have revenue-shared, we do revenue-share and we've offered to increase revenue sharing by more than a third. Our revenue sharing as a percentage of HRR is at least comparable, if not more, than either baseball or basketball. This notion that we're not prepared to revenue-share in a meaningful way is not true. Perhaps more importantly, revenue sharing alone does not fix what we believe needs to be corrected. We believe all 30 franchises are viable and can be successful. We think all 30 franchises are important. Each franchise counts for lots of player jobs and other jobs and is important to its community. Most important, this notion that clubs are not willing to help other clubs is simply not true. We are simply at a percentage under our old deal where our player costs, for a whole host of reasons, are just too high. If you look at the experience in the two other sports where revenue is shared with the players, namely football and basketball, the players in those sports acknowledged exactly what we've been saying.
FP: Revenue is growing, but there's an imbalance from franchise to franchise. If the weaker franchises can't compete from a revenue standpoint, why not contract?
GB: We believe all of our franchises are important and can be viable and can be successful. And frankly, if we're going to continue to grow the game and grow what you refer to as national revenues, you need to have a truly national footprint, not just in Canada but in the United States.
FP: When are you going to cancel the season?
GB: That's not something we're focused on. We very much want to make a deal. On Oct. 16th we made an offer to save an 82-game season which the union summarily rejected. But we're going to stay at this because nobody wants to be in that position. So we're not focusing on that sort of deadline right now.
FP: If you have to cancel the season, what would you do to the system?
GB: Any answer I give you to that question would be terribly misportrayed and misconstrued.
FP: There was a report out of Philadelphia on Saturday that says you are losing the support of the owners.
GB: It was a fabrication. Ed Snider is the one who told me about the article when he found out about it and he was terribly upset. He's in Europe and it was his idea to put out a statement. Anyone who doubts the resolve of ownership is either uninformed or (being) intentionally misleading.
FP: Was the aggressive nature of your first offer to the players a mistake?
GB: I think the view some have of our first offer is fairly naive as it relates to collective bargaining. A sophisticated negotiator would have looked at it and said, 'Obviously they want a 50-50 split.' If we're at 57 and they propose 43, they must be telegraphing where they want to end. If your intention was to use it in an inflammatory way, you could do that. If your intention was to make a deal, you could pretty much chart out what the course should be.
FP: Don Fehr is a union leader. A negotiation is his raison d'�tre. It's been suggested a protracted lockout keeps him in the spotlight and he enjoys that. Do you see it that way?
GB: I will not comment on the union leadership or union tactics. I'll leave it to others.
FP: Do you enjoy this? What's happening right now?
GB: No. It's horrific for the simple reason that we as a business are in business to put on our game and engage with our fans and to grow our game. This entire process is absolutely inconsistent with that. Having said that, any sports league needs a system that works and makes the game and the business of the game healthy.
FP: What damage has been done to the game?
GB: We won't know that until it's over. Obviously what we're going through is damaging. We can estimate the dollars and cents of what's been cancelled and what we're hearing from business partners and what it's doing to their businesses. But we won't know the long-term and short-term effects until this is over. But it's not good.
FP: You were quoted as saying the business bounced back after the last lockout because NHL fans were the best in the world. But this is the second lockout in under a decade. What will you do for your fans and your sponsors when you do get back on the ice?
GB: We're going to have to make it right. That's something that is important and vital and will have to be judged over time. The manner in which we do it and the way it ultimately plays out isn't something I can comfortably discuss until this is over.
FP: Because you ultimately believe you have the best fans in the world and they'll be back no matter what, is that a crutch that allows you to have frequent work stoppages?
GB: It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with we have to have the right deal going forward. In the absence of an agreement, you have to have a work stoppage. The union has shown an unwillingness to negotiate. So certainly, if they're not negotiating in a meaningful way now, what would they be doing if we were playing under the old system? The entire strategy appeared to be an attempt to maintain what the union had under the expired CBA, which is something they're not entitled to.
FP: Winnipeg isn't an artificial market. They pay NHL prices for NHL hockey. But they had unexpectedly robust revenue last year, they paid bottom third of the league in salary and they made money. But had they spent to the cap, they would have lost money. Under the old agreement, being competitive was going to be a challenge for Winnipeg. Can you address that?
GB: We believe the fundamentals of the system we created eight years ago are sound and have given us great competitive balance. But the system needs to be adjusted. It needs to take into account the realities of what's taken place over the past seven seasons. And I mean that on a macro-economic basis. We're committed to having a system that works for our clubs and our league and ultimately our players and our fans.
FP: Last week stories broke to the effect that you told Don Fehr it was time to take a two-week break from negotiations. Now you're set to talk on Monday night. What happened to change things?
GB: What happened is that conversation was clearly misportrayed and mischaracterized. Don called me on Tuesday to have a conversation. It wasn't a negotiation. It was nothing more than a simple conversation. In the course of that conversation he said he didn't know what to do or how to proceed. I said maybe we should take a little downtime, a couple of weeks, especially since we had just five sessions in six days and nothing was produced. In light of that fact he didn't know how to proceed, I said that as a suggestion. He gave it a long pause and then said, 'I don't think so.' I said OK. So this notion that we proposed a moratorium is nothing more than union rhetoric. We were always willing to go back to the table. The lines of communication are open. They know they have our best offer, which is a 50-50 sharing and the other issues that we've proposed to them. They proposed 17 issues last week and we agreed to 13 of them. We know where the negotiations led to, they know they have our best offer. We've always said if they have something to discuss, we're always available to meet.
FP: Is there room for give and take on the contracting rights issues?
GB: I'm not going to get into the specifics of negotiations other than to say there are contracting issues that need to be addressed and we've said we would be happy to discuss how those issues are addressed.
FP: How much longer do you want to be commissioner of the NHL?
GB: That's not something I focus on. I generally love my job on a day to day basis and I love the game. Nobody likes going through a situation like we're going through. It's not what we do and not what we want to do. We exist as a league and as a game to be playing.
FP: Are you worried you might lose another season?
GB: The thought of that is something I don't even want to consider because we obviously don't want to be in that situation. But we have to have the right agreement and the system has to work well. Otherwise, the long-term consequences of not having the right agreement, are more difficult to deal with than short term consequences.
FP: A player called you an idiot the other day. Do you take these bullets gladly because you work for the owners and that's just part of the job? How do you feel about the players?
GB: I work for the owners but I work for the game. What I do transcends what I do for the owners. I do work for the game and I try to do the best I can for the game. You'll find in the course of labour disputes, there's always a lot of rhetoric. Most of it is just noise. Most of it is misinformed. There's propaganda. It's just a fact of life that you live with. By the way, I love the players. Nobody should think for a moment that I don't. If I didn't I wouldn't do this job. I couldn't do this job. I believe in the players. I don't believe in what's going on right now. It's part of the business of the game. The least attractive part of the game.
FP: Do you understand where the players are coming from?
GB: The fact of the matter is everybody ultimately does what is best and what they think is right. Everybody has to make their own judgments. It's very easy to critique what the union is doing or what we're doing. I assure myself on a daily basis that whatever the union is doing they think (it) is the right thing. I hope the fans can respect that what we're doing, we believe, is ultimately the best thing for the game long term.

Paris Glove of Canada Ltd Names New CEO
Robert Langlois has been named CEO of Paris Glove of Canada Ltd, one of the oldest and most respected glove companies in North America.
This will be Langlois' second stint with Paris Glove as he was vice president of sales and marketing for the company for two years beginning in 1989. He had been working in the same capacity for Ganterie Auclair, which was subsequently acquired by Paris Glove.
Most recently, Langlois was vice president of division sports for Montreal-basEd Raymond Lanctôt Ltd, which distributes eyewear, clothing, ski and team sports products in Canada and the U.S. During his 40-year career, he also worked with Jupa Sports, Head USA, and Salomon Canada Sport.
"Robert brings a wealth of experience to his new role," said Torsten Janson, managing director and CEO of New Wave Group AB, which purchased Paris Glove in December 2011. "His time with Head America and Salomon in Canada ideally equips him to lead the Paris Group in the expansion years ahead."
Paris Glove was entirely family-owned since its inception in 1945, when founders Felix and Lily Monk brought their glove knowledge from the old country to Canada. Peter Monk, president of Paris Glove at the time of the purchase, is continuing to serve in his leadership role to assist in the transition to the new management. Vice President Joan Monk continues in her position to focus on product specification and quality manufacturing.
Paris Glove companies include Auclair, which is the official supplier to practically every Canadian team on snow and ice including alpine, snowboarding, freestyle, speed skating, Nordic combined, telemark, speed skiing and, of course, cross country. The brand was prominent at the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics where most of Canada's athletes wore Auclair gloves, while the USA Olympic team featured six gold medalists wearing Auclair.
Backed by an enviable reputation synonymous with quality, style and performance, Paris Gloves sells to virtually every retailer in Canada, many major retailers in the USA, produces many private brand gloves for retailers, and licenses a number of non-proprietary brands such as Kodiak, Simon Chang, Izod, Joseph Abboud, and Etienne AIGNER.

Capone unlocks the mystery of how THE GIVER both giveth and taketh away minutes from my life!!!
Published at: Aug. 15, 2014, 2:10 p.m. CST by
Hey everyone.
in Chicago here.
If I never see another young adult film with some kind of choosing ceremony as part of its plot, I'll be eternally grateful. Okay, yes, I realize that author Lois Lowry's 20-year-old novel "The Giver" is essentially the template for many of the dystopian, sci-fi books with children as the central characters, but I'm not reviewing the book. As a film that comes after THE HUNGER GAMES and DIVERGENT (to name just two), it feels like old hat as a storytelling device set in a mysterious society where, through medication, humans have been stripped of any extreme emotion, memories of the world before this modern time, or even the ability to see color. And this grand experiment in peace keeping seems to be doing the trick. But even among the elders who run this society (led by Meryl Streep's Chief Elder), there is a need to preserve at least some iota of what came before, even if it's only to remind the world of how bad things could get were emotions a part of the equation again.
Every few years, an 18-year-old—in this case Jonas (Brenton Thwaites) who shows a propensity for slight curiosity for knowledge in this world of being content and just like everyone else—is selected to be a pupil of The Giver (Jeff Bridges), the only man in society who hold the memories of the world before (our present world, in other words), complete with death, war, jealousy, envy and other bad behaviors. Of course, when The Giver starts mentally transferring these memories into Jonas (deemed the Receiver of Memories), he starts out slow, with images of sledding and hints of color. It actually kind of fun seeing someone discover color for the first time.
But Jonas becomes overwhelmed by some of what he sees, and he also grows angered that others are denied the gift of emotion. He discovers that he has a crush on his best friend Fiona (the quite good Odeya Rush of WE ARE WHAT WE ARE and the upcoming GOOSEBUMPS movie), and he wants to tell her, but it's unlikely she'd understand. Jonas tricks his parents (in this world, babies are assigned parents who aren't their birth parents), played by Alexander Skarsgard and Katie Holmes, into thinking he's still drugged, but his emotions are running wild and he must hide this fact or the thought police will come after him before his training is complete.
THE GIVER is an odd bird. While I admired its bold story elements about the lengths we would have to go to stop murdering each other on such a grand scale, it's tough to watch the Skarsgard administer a shot to a lesser-sized twin baby to "release" it and then send it down a garbage chute. I get that the book has always been controversial for moments like this, and that Skarsgard's doctor character doesn't actually realize that what he's doing is killing or even what death truly is, but for a PG-13 film, that pretty rough stuff. And its doesn't help that the filmmakers (including screenwriters Michael Mitnick and Robert B. Weide) seems to nervously tiptoe around the sheer volume of infant and elder death that this advanced society condones.
The ideas about slowly waking up someone's mind to the way things really are isn't a new one, but it is an interesting concept. And Thwaites (who has been seen just this year in MALEFICENT, THE SIGNAL and OCULUSa) does a credible job keeping his reactions flowing from shock to amazement to horror. I think the biggest and perhaps most disappointing surprise of THE GIVER is that it was directed by Philip Noyce (DEAD CALM, PATRIOT GAMES, CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER, SALT), a solid filmmaker who is slumming here, no matter how you look at it.
There's an utterly bizarre subplot/flashback involving The Giver's previous student, Rosemary, who is played by an almost unrecognizable Taylor Swift, whom he pushed too hard too fast and lost her to an emotional overload. I'm not sure how a well-placed couple of lines of dialogue couldn't have conveyed the same information in much less time, but what do I know?
The biggest issues I had with THE GIVER have more to do with how stiff and soulless the film seems even after emotion starts to creep into the picture. This society lives in a sort of cloud city hovering slightly over what I presume to be the ruined Earth below, but this separation is never really explained. It has become what it has beheld, and that is a colorless, lazy take on material without any effort to make it stand out in a sea of dystopian sameness. And don't get me started on how utterly bored Meryl Streep looks in her ridiculous wig. Appropriately enough, Bridges is the only one with any life in this film, but we've seen him doing this zen guru act before, so even he comes across as repeating himself. You want to give credit where credit is due, but as a stand-alone film in the context of today's YA sci-fi world, THE GIVER doesn't give us much to work with.

Austin, TXplease excuse the spellign mistaks
Thanks for the heads up. I've seen both the distilling ones but somehow I missed this one.
ETA: JJ, got a torrent client? I suggest Miro and http://www.tvrss.net/shows/#m as a start, but I don't see this brewing episode up there at the moment.
Well I missed this episode last time it aired. And just now when I went to set a reminder for it on the remote, SWMBO jumps up and says "Survivor is on at 8:00 tonight!!! What do you think you're doing?!?"
lol survivor blows ass, it lost its fun after season 2
Survivor is gay- so is 99% of all reality shows.
Every time you watch reality Tv you lose brain cells.
like I said 99%. However I want to slap all the kids on that show.
Especially that 14 year old punk that's like Jimbo from the Simpson's.....

Hello, my name is Andrew. In May I traded in my commuter car and purchased my second Toyota, A Red 2003 Toyota Tacoma Xtra cab 4wd 3.4L. I bought this truck because of the long love obsession I had with my first Toyota, A 1993 Toyota pickup standard cab 4wd 3.0L. Although I have been a Toyota fan for a long time, I am fairly new to this forum. Lately I have been obsessively stalking the feeds (non-creepily) for mods and I can't seem to get enough. So for that I'm grateful to be a part of this huge family of Tacoma Fans.

Moses Mabhida Stadium (Durban, South Africa: 2010 World Cup)
The grandiose steel arch stretching over this stadium, inspired by the "Y" in the South African flag, could also stand in as a metaphor of continuity and reuse, since this stadium has become a Durban icon. With colorful seating shaded to resemble water flowing into the ocean and a covering of Teflon-coated glass fiber that glow when lit against the night sky, the design flows as well as a well-executed set of passes.

Oita Bank Dome (Oita, Japan: 2002 World Cup)
Called the "Big Eye," since the retractable roof appears to wink when closed, the Kisho Kurokawa-designed elliptical stadium is clad with semi-transparent Teflon membrane panels on the roof, which allow natural light in during the day. During a more philosophical moment, Kurokawa reflected upon how the design recalled our "third eye."

It's easy for this classic stadium to be overshadowed by the incredible football that's taken place on its pitch, from the "Hand of God" goal and 1970's "Game of the Century" between Italy and West Germany to a pair of electrifying World Cup finals. Architects Pedro Ramirez Vasquez and Rafael Mijares studied stadiums overseas for years, eventually creating an iconic venue that, with it's sound trapping overhangs and incredible altitude, has functioned like a 12th man supporting the Mexican national squad, which has rarely lost here.
Luminous and lofty, Allianz Arena lit up the 2006 competition with its revolutionary façade, a membrane of inflated plastic panels that can change color. Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron designed the stadium to put spectators as close to the action as possible.

The "African Pot," site of many vuvuzelas and victories during the 2010 contest, was designed to resemble the calabash, a curved gourd that was one of the earliest cultivated plants. At night, lights highlight a ring of tan, crimson, and clay colored tiles wrapped around the exterior.

Christopher Lee of Populous allowed beautiful, organic curves to guide his design for one of the three new stadiums debuting during this World Cup. Flowering petals form the façade, channeling the shape of nearby dunes while sloping in a way that allows sea breezes to pass over spectators.

While it was ostensibly built as a symbol of national unity and identity, French soccer fans will never forget how this stadium became hallowed ground when Zinedine Zidane led his team to a 3-0 World Cup victory over Brazil in 1998. Its straightforward, elliptical design and various modular features has helped to give it a second life beyond its staring role in a previous tournament.

Dubbed "The Spaceship," Stadio San Nicola sits within a depression, an otherworldly shape peeking out above the landscape. Designed by Renzo Piano with ring of 26 concrete petals encircling the upper tier, it was both an architectural statement as well as a step forward for safety (a string of accidents before construction at other stadiums made its inclusion of multiple accessible exits a major selling point). Unfortunately, San Nicola has seen better days, having deteriorated over time due to lack of use after the World Cup.

Named after the Norse god of games, Sweden's largest outdoor stadium may be many decades old, but it hasn't fallen behind its younger brethren in terms of innovation. A massive bank of solar cells installed in 2007 generates enough electricity to run lighting during evening concerts and events.

The Government Accountability Office warned the Obama administration in a new report that it risks losing momentum in its IT reforms by declaring work completed prematurely.
"Until OMB and the agencies complete the action items, the benefits of the reform initiatives—including increased operational efficiencies and more effective management of large-scale IT programs—will likely be delayed," GAO wrote in its report released May 24, concerning OMB's 25-point IT Reform Plan.
GAO reviewed 10 key items in the plan and found three were completed and seven partially completed by December 2011. However, OMB reported greater progress than GAO, saying that seven of those 10 items were completed and that 3 were partially completed, according to the report.
"We ask that GAO be consistent across IT Reform action items and their associated required activities," OMB wrote in response to a draft report. "This would enable us to hold ourselves and agencies accountable for truly incomplete actions within the IT Reform Plan."
GAO and OMB disagree on whether agencies have completed the work related to data center consolidation, cloud-first policy, best practices collaboration portal, and redefining roles of agency CIOs and the CIO Council.
"OMB considers these action items to be completed. We do not," GAO wrote.
Specifically, GAO found incomplete agency plans related to data center consolidation. GAO backed up its stance, citing a memo from CIO Steve VanRoekel about incomplete data consolidation plans.
Agencies' plans for migrating to cloud computing lacked key elements. GAO recommended that the departments of Homeland Security, Justice and Veterans Affairs complete their migration plans. The three agencies agreed with GAO's recommendation.
"Thus, we believe that our recommendation to OMB to accurately characterize the status of IT Reform action items is valid," GAO wrote.
In the area of the best practices portal, GAO found the portal lacks important features that would make the information accessible and useful to program managers. GAO also found an agency has not yet envisioned the authority its CIO should have over IT acquisition, even as it's required to revise the CIO's role.
Furthermore, GAO wrote that OMB has not set performance measures for six other action items, including establishing the best practices collaboration platform and developing a cadre of IT acquisition professionals.
"Until outcome-oriented performance measures are in place for each of the action items, OMB will be limited in its ability to evaluate progress," GAO wrote.
GAO reported too that VanRoekel expressed concerns in email to GAO about the scope of the report. He wrote that the intent of the IT Reform Plan was not to reform all federal IT, but "to establish some early wins to garner momentum for OMB's broader initiatives," according to the report.
While VanRoekel and David Powner, director of IT management issues at GAO, may not see eye to eye on the topic, they both see improvements.
Testifying May 24 before a Senate subcommittee, Powner said VanRoekel is pushing IT reforms forward.
Powner used a football metaphor to describe VanRoekel's progress on the IT reforms: "I don't know if we would agree that he's in the red zone right now. But, you know what, he's clearly over the 50" yard line, he said. (The "red zone" in football slang is the territory between the defense's 20-yard-line and the goal line. An offense in the red zone is close to scoring a touchdown.)

I am one of the millions of Americans with a teenaged girl, and over the last few months I have seen lots of ads for the HPV vaccine Gardasil.
Even though I like to think of myself as savvy and forward-thinking, I hadn't yet scheduled my daughter for the series of vaccinations. Maybe I have been slowed down by the thought that Human Papillomavirus (HPV), which can lead to cervical cancer, is a sexually-transmitted disease, and I still like to think of Chrissa as a little girl. But the truth is, none of us knows for sure when our daughters will become sexually active and, even though cervical cancer is relatively rare in this country, if my daughter were to one day become one of the 10,000 American women affected each year, I would blame myself.
The other night I went to her bedroom. After joking with her that this was a "closed door" conversation, we talked about HPV. She said she was aware of it. She and her friends have talked about the ads. I got the feeling she was waiting on me to come to her and tell her that her dad and I have decided we want her to go ahead and get the shots.
"Shots" isn't a word kids usually want to hear, but this time she just smiled and said, "Okay."

I used to get "wpi 858" printed in black on the tablet of Bupropion SR 100mg tablet. Now I am getting exactly the same size and color pill except that "wpi 858" is not printed in black but is only imprinted(the tablet does not have black writing but only has an imprint of the same writing). These new pills taste very bitter and don't smell as bad the the ones with black print. But it also appears that they are less effective. What is going on? How can I get my original pill?

This pill is made by Watson Pharmaceuticals. Unfortunately they don't have an image on their website so I can't view what their tablet looks like, and the pill shown on this website's pill identifier has the black writing. It would probably be best to contact Watson directly and ask if they have changed this pill and see what they say - let us know how you get on.

Deal Clears Last Obstacle to City Schools Overhaul
By DAVID M. HERSZENHORN
Published: June 11, 2003
The Bloomberg administration yesterday cleared the last legal hurdle to New York City's most sweeping educational overhaul in more than a generation, settling a lawsuit that opposed the mayor's plan to reorganize local school districts.
Under the deal, which was approved by Justice Doris Ling-Cohan of State Supreme Court in Manhattan, the administration agreed to maintain a small office in each of the 32 existing community school districts. But the new district offices will be a shadow of the current ones, which were often criticized as being bloated. Now, just three people will be assigned to each one.
The administration also agreed to name a superintendent for each district, retaining a title that Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein had planned to eliminate. But the deal allows Mr. Klein to proceed with plans to reorganize the school system into 10 instructional regions.
Both the administration and a group of state, local and federal lawmakers who had brought the suit claimed victory yesterday. Mr. Klein said he had protected the reform plan by agreeing to cosmetic changes, while the lawmakers said they had won important concessions for parents and communities.
The settlement averted a potentially lengthy court battle that had threatened to derail not just the district reorganization, but virtually every component of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's effort to overhaul the schools, including new uniform reading and math curriculums and plans to give principals autonomy over their school budgets.
The settlement did little, however, to end the acrimony between the Bloomberg administration and its critics in the State Legislature. Each side called a news conference yesterday morning to announce the deal and offer its spin.
Mr. Klein, speaking to reporters gathered around a conference table at the Education Department's headquarters in the Tweed Courthouse, said that he had conceded virtually nothing. Noting the sunny weather, he said, "The last cloud to our reorganization plan has now been removed."
At precisely the same moment, State Senator Carl Kruger of Brooklyn, Assemblyman Steven Sanders of Manhattan and other plaintiffs in the lawsuit gathered on the steps of City Hall. "The mayor and the schools chancellor have blinked," Mr. Kruger said. "Our communities have won."
The Education Department immediately moved to push ahead with its reorganization plan by announcing how the city's 1,200 schools would be grouped within the 10 new divisions, which are being headed by 10 regional superintendents.
Last year, state legislators granted Mr. Bloomberg widely expanded control of the city school system. But after Mr. Bloomberg announced details of his reorganization plan in January, many of the same lawmakers turned against him, saying they never expected him to effectively eliminate the local school districts and superintendents.
Each regional superintendent will oversee a team of local instructional supervisors, who in turn will directly supervise 9 to 12 schools. The Education Department's Web site — www.nycenet.edu — has posted the names of the 113 instructional supervisors and the schools they will oversee.
Officials also said that within the next day or so, principals will get their budget allocations for next year from the central administration under a new system that avoids channeling the money first through a district office.
The settlement yesterday largely mirrored a deal that Mr. Klein struck late last month with State Senator Frank Padavan of Queens, who had introduced legislation aimed at blocking the district reorganization plan.
In the deal with Mr. Padavan, the chancellor agreed to maintain the small offices in each district and to appoint a district administrator to be chosen from the ranks of the local instructional supervisors.
Under yesterday's court settlement, the district administrators will be called community superintendents, but will still be taken from the group of local instructional supervisors. It seems likely that the job will be little more than an extra title.
Mr. Klein said the local instructional supervisors who serve as community superintendents would still be responsible for overseeing their groups of schools. But they will also sign evaluations of principals in their districts and will be liaisons to the parent councils that are expected to replace the old community school boards, he said.
Mr. Sanders, the chairman of the Assembly Education Committee, said yesterday's settlement was important because it forced Mr. Bloomberg and Mr. Klein to comply with state education law, which establishes district boundaries and outlines the responsibilities of community superintendents.
But he acknowledged that under the mayor's reorganization plan the community superintendents might have a limited role. "If they are doing their best to circumvent the law, I say shame on them," Mr. Sanders said. "There are only so many things you can enforce by law. Sincerity unfortunately isn't one of them."
The principals' union, which had joined the lawsuit against the mayor's plan, praised the settlement. "There is now no question that in September the entire school system will be operating consistent with existing state law," the union president, Jill Levy, said in a prepared statement.
The teachers' union, which was not involved in the lawsuit, also praised the deal.
"We congratulate the parties for putting aside their differences," the union president, Randi Weingarten, said in a statement.

Bears dish out another grizzly mauling
NORTHS DEVILS v BURLEIGH BEARS
Robbo Reckons
I would like to start off giving someone a wrap, I don?t usually do this but I think it?s well deserved with so many of NRL players being in the headlines for the wrong reasons when they do something good it?s not often recognised. Not that this fella wants any recognition for doing it in fact he?d probably rather I not mention it all but I will. Broncos, Queensland and Australian star Petero Civoniceva went back to where it all began on the training fields at Dolphin Oval. What?s so unusual about that you ask well this just happened to be at 9.00 on a Saturday morning after he played a starring role for Broncos in their win over Manly the night before. Petero came down and ran around with the kids training and signed what seemed like a 1000 autographs for half an hour or so and he done this at a time he so easily could?ve been spending it with own family. If you could have seen the smiles on all the kids faces it was gold. Well done Petero you are a great role model and ambassador for the game. Footy wise the season is coming along nicely but there is a long to go and a lot of hard work still be to done. I have people coming up to me and asking can Reddy make the finals this year. I said in a word yes and I?ll take it a step further I believe we can win the competition. Burleigh are certainly the benchmark at the moment, while the Young Guns, Toowoomba and Norths seasons really are decided on what happens with the Cowboys, Broncos and Storm. And then you have Easts and Wynnum who will be there abouts. But I believe when we are firing we can match and get on top of any of these sides. The boys are working really hard at training and in the gym and I believe the results will come. Now onto the serious stuff. For years the Club has had a Goose of the Week award perennial past winners were guys like Trent Clayton and the Jones boys, one year we even changed the name to Jones of the Week because it seemed like one of the brothers would win it every week. But now we have a new contender Shannon Fish, he is in the grand final with those other boys mentioned. I mentioned in another column how he thought Romanian girls come from Rome. Well he?s come up with another couple of classics. Shannon was watching Getaway with Lou Starr when they done a story from Perth, Shannon made the comment ?Perth is that anywhere near Western Australia?. Lou asked him what did you say and he replied the same again and Lou just sat their shaking her head. Another time Adam Starr was playing his one his favourite CD?s by the Doors and with Shannon being a fair bit younger than the veteran front rower asked Fish have you heard of the Doors to which Shannon replied yeah yeah they are good and I really like their lead singer Mick Jagger. I can?t print Starry?s reply this being a family column and all. Now Shannon I know Mick Jagger may look like he?s dead but Jim Morrison was the Doors lead singer and has been dead since 1971. I wonder who the lead singer of the Rolling Stones is these days . After Shane Perry dying his hair it seems the trend is continuing with rugged second rower Danny Burke turning up to training with a red tinge in his hair one week and the next week black. When Burkey was asked by one of the boys why black he replied it?s not black it?s dark wood. It seems one of the players has got the nickname Snuffy after the Sesame Street character Mr Snuffleupagus I guess he must be a closet Sesame Street watcher. Another one from the no names files just who is the former Dolphin hardman of the 90?s who can be seen taking his dog for a walk in a cardigan. What is strange about that you may ask well the fact is the dog is one the one wearing a cardigan and the dog is a Chihuahua. I would tell you who it is but I?m scared what he might to do me when he sees me next, he might Crush me or something. Until next month Cheers Robbo
