Geri Halliwell Gossip
Geri Halliwell gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Posh turns 40 with the Spice Girls
Victoria Beckham turned 40 on April 17. She's a Tiger, by the way. So if I were Gwyneth Paltrow, an unlucky Rat in the Year of the Horse, I'd start wearing a lot more Posh. To celebrate her birthday milestone, Posh and Becks were in London last night for a party at the Arts Club. Three Spice Girls showed up as well – Emma Bunton, Mel C, and Geri Halliwell. Full Story
She totally wants to be there
Dave M. Benett /Dave J Hogan /Getty Images
As you know, Victoria Beckham did not arrive with the other Spices last night at the premiere of Viva Forever. Instead, she was late and posed with her family on the carpet. Click here for a refresher. Inside though, Posh did finally join the girls on stage. Full Story
What's missing?
Stuart Wilson /LEON NEAL /Getty, Lia Toby /Daniel Deme /WENN
The Spice Girls musical premiered tonight in London. As you can see, Emma Bunton, Mel B, Mel C, and Geri Halliwell, all arrived around the same time and posed together on the carpet. At one point they even found a stand-in. What's missing? Well, she wasn't missing. But at press time I can't find any shots of her with the others. Full Story
Geri & Russell: from "very serious" to "cooling"
This is Russell Brand following a performance in London last night. And Geri Halliwell today at a park with her daughter. Last week, according to the UK tabloids, the two were supposedly "very serious" - click here for a refresher. This week, according to the UK tabloids Full Story
Ginger Spice and Russell Brand?
UK gossips are reporting that Geri Halliwell and Russell Brand are dating. According to the Sun, they got on really well at the Closing Ceremony at the Olympics -- so much that he dumped girlfriend (of a few weeks) Isabella Brewster to spend more time with Geri in London. Full Story
The Spice Girls and the runway
Wenn, Jeff Moore /Splash, Scott Heavey /Stu Forster /Paul Gilham /Jamie Squire /Getty
First - Stella Tennant FOREVER. Second - I want to know what would have happened if they even tried suggesting to Kate Moss that she'd wear Victoria Beckham at the Closing Ceremony during the David Bowie Fashion tribute. Please. Victoria Beckham included among Alexander McQueen, Burberry, Vivienne Westwood, and others. Full Story
Closing Spice
Victoria Beckham posted a photo of a tricked out mic on her Twitter a couple of weeks ago - click here for a refresher. I wrote that it was perhaps a sign that she'd finally agreed to perform with the other Spices at the Closing Ceremony. As previously reported, Posh had been cock-blocking the plan, not wanting to compromise her new Fashion Designer identity by reminding us that she originally arrived as a pop star. Full Story
Friendship pause when posing
Wenn, Dave M. Benett/Dave Hogan/Getty
Here are the Spices in London today to announce Viva Forever, a stage production based on their songs. Think Mamma Mia only replace Dancing Queen with Wannabe and Waterloo with Spice Up Your Life and "the story of a beautiful, talented girl and her best friends who get swept up in the obsession of today's TV celebrity culture". Full Story
If you're not the bride...
Would you choose this dress? Like, I get it that not all white dresses are necessarily bridal dresses, obviously. But this dress, seen here on Geri Halliwell at the Raisa Gorbachev Foundation party in London, THIS dress could only be a bridal dress. Right??? It was a fancy person party, yes. Fancy person gowns were preferred, of course. Full Story
Now it's Guy & Geri
Last week I thought Guy & Elle were the best named couple ever… this week it's Guy & Geri. Fickle, yes. But so are they. Geri Halliwell is newly single having ditched her super rich fiancé claiming she's not the marrying type. As such, Geri is reasserting herself on the scene. Full Story
Does she need a job?
Because she's sure is whoring it out like she does. Check out Geri Halliwell showing off her big ass new engagement ring valued at almost half a million (US$) arriving in Madrid today with her new fiancé – the "yacht tycoon" (???) – taking a page out of Victoria Beckham's airport paparazzi styles… It'll help with the negotiations, you know? The wedding photos. Full Story
Geri getting married
They started dating a month ago. Now Geri has agreed to marry him. Confirmed her reps: "We are delighted to announce the engagement of Geri Halliwell and Fabrizio Politi. Full Story
Would you call this curvy?
Geri Halliwell, 36, graces the cover of the new Hello in a bikini, conceding that she's struggled with her weight in the past and, in an attempt to align with the sisterhood, admitted to being self conscious about being seen in a bikini. At first, it does indeed sound like she's one of us…'I did strive to have my most perfect body and, in moments when I lack confidence, that voice is always there waiting to tell me, "You are not good enough, do better," but I'm more conscious of it. Full Story
Mommy's Little Heir
It will be Cruz Beckham who inherits his parents' love of the spotlight! But of course it will be Cruz. Cruz after all was conceived as an answer to the public infidelity – a message to the world: We Are the Beckhams. We Will Survive. As such, thick skin and attention seeking was programmed into Cruz's DNA, the first inklings of which were presented to an audience of thousands at Madison Square Garden last night. Full Story

The 2008 60th Bonneville National Speed Trials - Expanded for Web
Written by Tim Bernsau on February 1, 2009 The Fastest Week Of The YearThe history books and visitors' brochures identify Teddy Tetzlaff as the first man to set a speed record on the salt flats of Bonneville, when he wound his Blitzen Benz up to 141.73 mph back in 1914. Teddy was ahead of his time. The first Bonneville SpeedWeek wouldn't be held until 1949, making 2008 the 60th annual event.
I wonder if Teddy would recognize the salt flats today. The terrain hasn't changed, but he'd definitely be amazed to see a mile of pit area, 500 race cars, and 3,000 spectators. He'd probably be speechless watching Fred Dannenfelzer hit 360.077 mph to set a new Blown Fuel Lakester record in the DRM Racing car. But you don't have to go half the speed of sound to set a record at Bonneville, and I think he'd cheer for Tamra Tulp going 82.803 mph in Pete Richardson's flathead four-banger '31 A to grab an open record in Vintage Gas Coupe.
Bonneville is like no place else on earth. In fact it's not even like earth-it's more like our own private hot rod planet. No buildings. No pavement. No plants. No animals. Just race cars and racers and salt. It doesn't matter how many photos or how much footage you've seen, or how many stories you've heard or read-there's really no way to know what it's like until you've been there, and there's really no way to describe it once you have. Even so, here is one more story and a few more photos from our trip in August.

I was rolling in my own poop one day at work. Whining about why me and all that sick stuff we do when our heads aren't where there belong and my supervisor made a comment that shook me to my boots.
There's a reason you're going through this girl. Some day some where some body is going to need your experience and you are going to save them from a lot of grief by telling them what you know.
Needless to say I stoped whining.

A party usually held in a basement, but can be held anywhere there is enough room in a house, in which teenagers or young adults pay an admission (usually one dollar-hence the name) and dance in the dark to hip-hop or Baltimore club music. The dancing can be erotic, such as girls giving boys lap dances, or people can battle one another dance-wise. Usually about 30 to 50 or even more will cram into a small space creating a sauna-type amtmosphere and dance until curfew. Great place to pull an "R. Kelly" due to low or no lighting.
Yeah, the twins dollar party was bangin' last week. There were about 60 people there in the basement and the girls were grindin' so hard on me, I thought I was gonna nut!!

ieee80211_output -- software 802.11 stack output functions
#include <net80211/ieee80211_var.h> int M_WME_GETAC(struct mbuf *); int M_SEQNO_GET(struct mbuf *); struct ieee80211_key * ieee80211_crypto_encap(struct ieee80211_node *, struct mbuf *); void ieee80211_process_callback(struct ieee80211_node *, struct mbuf *, int);
The net80211 layer that supports 802.11 device drivers handles most of the work required to transmit frames. Drivers usually receive fully- encapsulated 802.11 frames that have been classified and assigned a transmit priority; all that is left is to do crypto encapsulation, prepare any hardware-specific state, and push the packet out to the device. Outbound frames are either generated by the net80211 layer (e.g. management frames) or are passed down from upper layers through the ifnet(9) transmit queue. Data frames passed down for transmit flow through net80211 which handles aggregation, 802.11 encapsulation, and then dispatches the frames to the driver through it's transmit queue. There are two control paths by which frames reach a driver for transmit. Data packets are queued to the device's if_snd queue and the driver's if_start method is called. Other frames are passed down using the ic_raw_xmit method without queueing (unless done by the driver). The raw transmit path may include data frames from user applications that inject them through bpf(4) and NullData frames generated by net80211 to probe for idle stations (when operating as an access point). net80211 handles all state-related bookkeeping and management for the handling of data frames. Data frames are only transmit for a vap in the IEEE80211_S_RUN state; there is no need, for example, to check for frames sent down when CAC or CSA is active. Similarly, net80211 handles activities such as background scanning and power save mode, frames will not be sent to a driver unless it is operating on the BSS channel with ``full power''. All frames passed to a driver for transmit hold a reference to a node table entry in the m_pkthdr.rcvif field. The node is associated with the frame destination. Typically it is the receiver's entry but in some situations it may be a placeholder entry or the ``next hop station'' (such as in a mesh network). In all cases the reference must be reclaimed with ieee80211_free_node() when the transmit work is completed. The rule to remember is: net80211 passes responsibility for the mbuf and ``node reference'' to the driver with each frame it hands off for transmit.
All frames passed by net80211 for transmit are assigned a priority based on any vlan tag assigned to the receiving station and/or any Diffserv setting in an IP or IPv6 header. If both vlan and Diffserv priority are present the higher of the two is used. If WME/WMM is being used then any ACM policy (in station mode) is also enforced. The resulting AC is attached to the mbuf and may be read back using the M_WME_GETAC() macro. PAE/EAPOL frames are tagged with an M_EAPOL mbuf flag; drivers should transmit them with care, usually by using the transmit rate for management frames. Multicast/broadcast frames are marked with the M_MCAST mbuf flag. Frames coming out of a station's power save queue and that have more frames immediately following are marked with the M_MORE_DATA mbuf flag. Such frames will be queued consecutively in the driver's if_snd queue and drivers should preserve the ordering when passing them to the device.
The net80211 layer will fragment data frames according to the setting of iv_fragthreshold if a driver marks the IEEE80211_C_TXFRAG capability. Fragmented frames are placed in the devices transmit queue with the fragments chained together with m_nextpkt. Each frame is marked with the M_FRAG mbuf flag, and the first and last are marked with M_FIRSTFRAG and M_LASTFRAG, respectively. Drivers are expected to process all fragments or none.
Frames sent by net80211 may be tagged with the M_TXCB mbuf flag to indicate a callback should be done when their transmission completes. The callback is done using ieee80211_process_callback() with the last parameter set to a non-zero value if an error occurred and zero otherwise. Note net80211 understands that drivers may be incapable of determining status; a device may not report if an ACK frame is received and/or a device may queue transmit requests in its hardware and only report status on whether the frame was successfully queued.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Well-made and colorful. I've dropped my phone several times and this little case has protected it from any damage!
I needed to replace my old cover which was a really cute cover but I didn't want to spend a lot because I will soon upgrade to the 4S. This was better than I expected. Pink is really bright and it isn't bulky at all. And for the price, you can't go wrong!!! Once again, Overstock came through for me!
I have dropped my phone several times however no damage occured to my case or my phone.
My daughter liked this case
Looks just like the picture really like it a lot and so reasonable.
This item would have been awesome if it fit. It should have said the size because I bought it for what it said, and it didnt fit. It was kinda dissapointing
Seeking to "renew" my older iPhone 3G, I ordered a new case from Overstock.com. I couldn't find ANY variety in the stores for the 3G, and was surprised at the large selection on Overstock.com. This pink one fit my 3G perfectly, covering the sides and edges. Not to mention, I've gotten several compliments on the bright pink color. Love it!
I bought this case for my iPhone 3GS and this was my first venture into a hard case. It took a little while longer than I would've liked to arrive, but when it got here - it was great. There was a small rough spot, on the side, where the case snaps together - but it's not bothersome enough to concern myself with, and I'm sure it's not like this on all the cases. The color is perfect - very hot pink and even kind of pearly in the light, which wasn't expected at all. The fit is perfect. I haven't tried to take it off yet, so no opinions on the ease of getting it on and off. Very WORTH THE MONEY.

Vertebroplasty is often an outpatient procedure used to treat painful compression fractures in the spine. In a compression fracture, all or part of a spine bone collapses.
Vertebroplasty is done in a hospital or outpatient clinic.
You lie face down on a table. The health care provider cleans the area of your back and applies medicine to numb the area.
The doctor places a needle through the skin and into the spine bone. Real-time x-ray images are used to guide the doctor to the correct area in your lower back.
Cement is then injected into the broken spine bone to make sure it does not collapse again.
This procedure is similar to kyphoplasty. However, kyphoplasty also involves the use a balloon that is inflated at the end of the needle to add space between the vertebrae.
A common cause of compression fractures of the spine is thinning of your bones, or osteoporosis. Your doctor may recommend this procedure if you have severe and disabling pain for 2 months or more that does not get better with bed rest, pain medicines, and physical therapy.
Your doctor may also recommend this procedure if you have a painful compression fractures of the spine due to
Vertebroplasty is generally safe. Complications may include:
Always tell your doctor or nurse:
During the days before the surgery:
On the day of the surgery:
You will probably go home on the same day of surgery. You should not drive, unless your doctor says it is OK.
After the procedure:
Patients who have this procedure often have less pain and a better quality of life after the surgery.
They usually need fewer pain medicines, and can move better than before.

The process of taking a shit in the tank of a toilet instead of the bowl so when the next person flushes, all the shit goes into the bowl

Deficating in the tank of someone's toilet, rather than the bowl. Often employed in malicious context.

This one takes practice. This maneuver requires a toilet with a tank above it, like the ones in most homes. Instead of crapping in the bowl, you shit in the tank. Now don't flush. When the following victim flushes, the rancid waste fills the bowl. If you play your cards right, it may ferment. Great prank for those lame partys.

The face that has replaced duck face in selfies. It is often found on instagram and facebook pictures posted by girls. It is achieved by opening one's eyes are far you can and slightly puckering your lips, in order to look like a sparrow.
Those Jenner kids sure like to make sparrow face. They do it in almost all their selfies.

Premature Ventricular Beats
(Ventricular Premature Beats; Premature Ventricular Contractions; Ventricular Ectopic Beats)
A premature ventricular beat (PVB) is an extra heartbeat caused by abnormal electrical activity. It starts in the ventricles (the lower chambers of the heart) before a normal heartbeat occurs. PVB interferes with the heart's normal rhythm and causes a pause before the next heartbeat. It may feel like a heartbeat is skipped.
PVBs are common, especially among the elderly. They can occur in people who are healthy, in which case they are harmless. However, when they occur after a heart attack or heart surgery, they can lead to dangerous heart rhythms. In some cases, these rhythms can cause sudden death. You should contact your doctor right away if you suspect you have PVBs after a heart attack or heart surgery.
Ventricular Contraction
The causes of PVBs include:
- Physical or emotional stress
- Physical exercise
- Caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs
- Certain medications, especially those that stimulate the heart
Heart disease:
- Heart attack
- Coronary artery disease
- Disorders that cause the ventricles to get larger, such as heart failure
- Heart valve disorders
- Congenital heart disease
Risk Factors
PVB frequency increases with age and are most common in the elderly. PVBs are also more common in men. Other factors that may increase your chance of PVBs include:
- African Americans ethnicity
- Heart disease
- Use of caffeine, alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs
In many cases, there are no symptoms. When symptoms do occur they can include:
- Feeling the heart beating (palpitations)
- Feeling of a skipped or missed heart beat
In people with heart disease, PVBs can cause decreased blood flow from the heart to other parts of the body. This can produce lightheadedness and fainting.
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You may be referred to a cardiologist.
Tests may include:
- Blood tests to evaluate any substances that may cause heart rhythm problems.
- Electrocardiogram (EKG) tests the electrical activity of the heart.
- Holter monitor if the heart rhythm disturbance does not show up on an EKG. This type of monitoring is helpful because it measures heart activity over a longer period of time.
- Echocardiogram —Ultrasound of the heart and surrounding structures.
In most cases, no treatment is needed. However, it can be helpful to reduce stress and avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco. If a medication you are taking may be causing the PVBs, your doctor may change the medications or adjust the dosage.
You may need to take medication if you have significant symptoms from PVBs, have heart disease, or if the pattern of the PVBs indicates a risk of developing more serious heart rhythm problems. Beta-blockers are generally tried first since they are relatively safe medications. Anti-arrhythmic medications may be used, but they may also increase the chances of developing dangerous heart rhythms. Other medications that may be used include calcium channel blockers. Talk with your doctor about the best treatment for you.
To help reduce your chances of PVBs:
- If you smoke, talk to your doctor about how you can successfully quit
- If you consume caffeine and/or alcohol, do so in moderation

Who Wants One?
Latest News
Filed under:1673
My favorite song is American Terrorist off of Food & Liquor because of the deep subject matter that you don't hear from most artists. That was the first Lupe Fiasco song my hardcore Lupe fan friend showed me. He knew I would like it cause I am really into that "get real" kind of music like Immortal Technique & RATM. Ever since then I was hooked. We both just went to Lupe's concert at Roseland Ballroom on Easter! FNF UP!
Words I Never Said- This song is my favorite for a few reasons. Aside from the amazing beat and great sound from the combination of music styles, it is real and honest. The lyrics are flat out amazing, they are insightful and all true. They make us realize how corrupt society is and every subject that is touched upon in this song is controversial to so many people, but you shed light on the bad and demand change for the betterment of all people. People need to be less ignorant and this song makes you want to speak out against everything that is wrong with business, government, and society. Thank you for making such a great song!! I love it!
Damn way too hard to pick one, "Daydreamin", "Hurt Me Soul", "Streets on Fire", "Hip HopSaved My Life", "Words I Never Said", and many others are some of my all-time favorite songs for all different reasons. But I'm going to pick one that I doubt anyone else will choose and that is "Put You on Game".
I like that song a lot because it's dark and sinister and Lupe's lyrics as the character "The Game" are haunting. It also speaks of the darker sides of society, of politics, and power. It is like a dark poem where you feel the intensity in the words themselves and Lupe doesn't hold back at all.
Favorite Lupe song is definitely The Coolest. The Cool is my top hip-hop album of all time I love the concept and all the characters and how deep the whole thing is. The Coolest is in my opinion the best representation of musical poetry, Also i love all the double entendres ("micheal young history") and I just enjoyed listening to the song over and over. Other favorites I have are Dumb it Down, Turnt Up, Kick Push 2, Hip Hop saved my life. I really just love and respect how much of a lyricist you are which is what makes you my favorite artist lupe. And I think my first comment disappeared since it says 0 comments in my profile.
My favorite song is "Daydreamin'" by Lupe Fiasco Feat. Jill Scott. It was one of the first songs by him that I've listened and made me love him as an artist, the steady flow and the mellow tone and always upbeat. Just melodic to me. The fact that Jill Scott was included in the song just added to the priceless-ness of it all, she is also another one of my favorite artists and people. Much love to you both.

A member of the University of Northwest Ohio (UNOH) Motorsport team is scheduled to be the featured speaker at a special Race Car Day breakfast during the Children's Hometown Holiday at the beginning of December.
Kody Weisner, who worked on NASCAR race car driver Kenny Wallace's pit crew, is expected to talk to the children at the breakfast for approximately 10 minutes on the importance of team work. The breakfast is to be held from 9 to 9:30 a.m. at Swaney's car dealership in downtown Wapakoneta. Pre-registration is needed today and Thursday by calling 419-738-8301.
"Weisner and his crew will be available to pose with the children and his car and will be available to answer questions about racing," Children's Hometown Holiday Chair Elaine Poppe said. "Weisner is to be a Swaney's after the breakfast from 9:30 a.m. to 1p.m. in order that all local racing fans can meet them and take pictures with them and the race car which will be provided by UNOH."
Weisner received the first-ever win in one of the UNOH stock cars on Memorial Day 2010 when he captured the the first Thunderstock A-Main in the history of UNOH. He also received the win in the modified class in 2011.
Weisner, who also piloted the No. 20, the UNOH Modified, at the UMP Nationals in Eldora as well, is working toward his Associate's Degree in Science with an emphasis on High Performance Motorsports at UNOH.
Paul Higgins, who is the department chair in the College of Applied Technologies Automotive and High Performance, also plans to be on hand during the day to answer questions about UNOHN and the opportunities at the college for those interested in learning more about the program.

"Riveting and well-read"
This is a riveting novel, with wonderful characters who really come to life as the story unfolds. It also deals with the troubles and horrors of Afghan history since the 1960s. The reading is done by the author himself, a real advantage here because his passion for the material is clear and he gives authentic pronunciations to the Afghan words in the story.
"Just as good as the others"
All of the Herriot books are great in audio -- very engaging stories that benefit much from the fine reader's rendering of the accents. This one is no exception. I was really sorry when I finished this series because I know there will be no more books.
"Funny, but no visuals"
This book is funny, but not very well suited to audiobook. The print version has pictures that add to the hilarity. I felt like the audiobook was missing something.
I chose this book because of recommendations on Audible even though I was somewhat taken aback by the subject matter -- architecture and World's Fairs can be kind of dry and serial killers are a bit too sensational for my usual reading tastes. I'm so glad I took a chance on it, though. It's a fascinating book about a fascinating time in American history. While the two lines of the story may seem unrelated, together they give a very provocative picture of late 19th century Chicago society. It's a long book, but I was really sorry when it ended. I wanted the story to go on.
"Read Half a Life first"
This book completes the story begun in Naipaul's _Half a Life_, and I don't think the book stands very well on its own. It would be best to listen to the first book before tackling this one.
I got interested in chef's memoirs after listenign to Anthony Bourdain's _Kitchen Confidential_. Jacques Pepin's life isn't as racy as Bourdain's, but it's in some ways much more intersting. Even though I've seen him on public television, I never knew about the twists and turns his career took in getting him to that point. The story is told with good humor and an abiding love for family and food. In the process you learn a lot about the history of cuisine in America and Pepin's influence of what you eat every day even now.
The book is read very well, not by Pepin himself but by someone with an accent very much like his. It was great fun to hear it.
"Good for Updike fans"
I'm not a hardcore Updike fan, but I've enjoyed some of his other books. This one is good and is well-adapted to the audio format. Real Updike fans will probably enjoy it even more because it sheds some light on the situations and characters developed in his other books.
"A little different story..."
In addition to all the animal stories, this volume of Herriot's books talk about his experiences in the RAF during WWII. It's touching and funny at times. The atmosphere of wartime England is palpable. As with the rest of the Herriot audiobooks, this one is very well-read and engaging.
"Lovely and perfectly suited to the format..."
The James Herriott stories are all great favorites of mine on audiobook. They're extremely well read in this edition, and they are engaging enough for either long or short jaunts in the car. I really enjoy them and will be sad when I finish the series.
"More interesting than you thought..."
George Washington has gotten a bad rap from history, and this book seeks to set the story straight. His life is fascinating and complex. He lived in the much-vaunted "interesting times" and he managed to shape both his own destiny and the destiny of the nation. He is not fully a hero in this book, however. How he chose to "solve" the moral quandary of his own slave-owning, while perhaps advanced for his time, does not put him in history's best light now. All in all, this is a good book, very well read, and worth the time it takes to listen to it. It will give you a new perspective on present-day political partisan battles.

New York City's new system of teacher evaluation and development.
We're looking for great teachers, principals, administrators, executives, and more. Join us today.
Which bus route has my child been assigned? If you know your child's student ID and birthday, you can get the answer to this and other questions on the Transportation Search Page.
If you don't know your child's student ID, call The Office of Pupil Transportation at 718-392-8855.
School Transportation Personnel can... log in to the School and Student Transportation Search, or log in to specific applications to find student and school transportation information.
Within the City's Department of Education, all address changes are made at the school level. Parents should contact their child's school to update address and emergency contact information.Walking to School While the Office of Pupil Transportation is charged with providing transportation by yellow bus and public transit for all students in New York City, we support the City's initiative to have as many children walk to school as possible. We believe that walking to school can be a healthy way to begin and end your child's day at school. The New York City Department of Transportation has resources available at Walk To School to help parents and schools promote walking.Pollution ReductionOPT is committed to improving the quality of air and life for all residents of NYC, particularly school-aged children. Every one of the diesel-powered general education buses (2,306 vehicles) under contract to OPT are equipped with emission reduction technology and installation has begun on special education buses.In September 2007, legislation was enacted that will reduce air pollution from idling school buses. The bill requires the Commissioner of Education to issue regulations requiring school districts to minimize the idling of school buses while parked on school grounds or in front of schools. The Environmental Protection Agency's Clean School Bus USA program has partnered with Scholastic Books to write, illustrate, and publish "The Magic School Bus Gets Cleaned Up" to increase awareness of the importance of reducing diesel emissions. The special-edition book is intended for children from kindergarten through fourth grade and is available free to individuals, schools and libraries. Visit Clean School Bus USA to order copies of the book and for more information about the program.
