Repealing the Louisiana Science Education Act - Creationism in Disguise

Press Release: The Repeal is Public!

High School Student Launches Campaign to Repeal Louisiana's Creationism Law
Building upon a grassroots effort last winter that was successful in fighting off efforts to insert creationism into Louisiana science textbooks, Baton Rouge Magnet High School Senior Zack Kopplin is helping lead an effort to have the Louisiana Science Education Act (LSEA) repealed during the Louisiana Legislature's 2011 Regular Session. State Senator Karen Carter Peterson (New Orleans) has announced that she will sponsor the repeal legislation.
The misnamed and misguided Louisiana Science Education Act, which was passed and signed into law in 2008, is stealth legislation to encourage Louisiana public school science teachers to include creationist materials in their curriculum. In Livingston Parish Louisiana, school board members explicitly cited this law last summer in their push to mandate that creationism be made part of the science curriculum for the 2011-12 school year.

Does Pope and Associates have a new member? Perhaps!
Reports confirm that Portia De Rossi is set to star in a "top secret," multiple-episode arc during Scandal's fourth season. De Rossi's wife, Ellen DeGeneres, first announced the news via her Twitter account.
PHOTOS: Who Hates Who In Hollywood? The 26 Dirtiest Celebrity Feuds
At the end of last season, viewers watched as Olivia Pope jetting off with Jake, leaving a fragile Fitz and Washington, D.C. behind. Now that her father is back in charge of B6-13, will De Rossi be going down the path of evil or will she be joining the gladiators?
So annoying when people brag on twitter & that's why I'm not tweeting that Portia just signed on to do a top secret arc on "Scandal". Oops.
— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) July 23, 2014
Readers, what do you think De Rossi's role will be in the upcoming season?

My overall stay was very pleasant. The food was absolutely top notch and so was the wine and service. Exceptional. I would add a welcome drink of port for arriving guests or a non-alcholic alternative. While quaint, for the price, I did find the rooms small, and in need of some renovation. While not very obvious by any means, nevertheless, for a 5 star, I would not expect to see a slightly chipped soap dish on the bathroom sink or minor beginnings of mildew in the bathroom, which needed maintenance caulking. I am paying the price for the sea view, but since I paid for a sea view, I was not entirely happy that part of the sea view included more of the hotel building that I would have wanted. Also, there is a barrier of a small veranda between the bed and the ocean view window. I would have prefered to have nothing blocking the area between bed and window outlooking the sea. Finally, while a jacuzzi tub is nice, a child sized one isn't useful. It would be better to take out such a thing and create a new stone shower with the same color of the ceiling. Also, the organdy sheers and old lamps made the room dark and musty. I'd replace them with beige or celedon sheers to match the lovely wallpaper, with a more ornate tie back, and I'd knock out the wall between the bed area and window with the ocean view. Staff was very responsive to anything I needed, but with so many other hotels in the area that could offer a similar sea view and have also a pool and direct view of the sea from the room, I'd go elsewhere before returning here during the summer. However, during the winter, with the many fireplaces, if one enjoys a winter sea and being cozy, I'd return to the hotel. But bathrooms are in need to renovation with modern easy to access stone showers. Even I, who am 5 foot 6, wished there had been a stepping stool to get in and out of the shower.

the rooms could use more light by the bed so we could read....it seemed a bit too dark also there needed to be a light switch on both sides of the bed. The chocolate deserts (4) were the best we have ever eaten and the presentation was outstanding!!!!

An amazing place with one of the best retaurant in Portugal. Very competent and welcoming staff. The location is really outstanding right on the beach. Families with samll children though should be aware there is no swimming pool and that the praia de Guincho can be quite dangerous due to waves and current (nice to watch though!)

Fire chief Dan Egan pilots a helicopter with Dr. Natalie Giroux aboard to make an emergency airlift. A full-blown electrical storm hits. Lightning strikes the chopper. An emergency landing is their only hope....
The forced landing strands Dan Egan and Natalie Giroux on a remote island in Courage Bay. Being isolated with Dan both frightens and excites Natalie. He's the kind of stubborn, fearless man she tries to avoid, yet she finds herself attracted. Maybe it's the brush with death...or the way Dan is struggling with his own desire for her. But she may as well admit it--when their helicopter went down, so did all of Natalie's defenses.

2000 Dodge Stratus Q&A
2000 Dodge Stratus Question: what is the driving requirements to reset the EVAP and converter to smog?
chech engine light was reset and the two areas not reset yet are EVAP and converter. I have driven over 80 miles and still havent reset. - Bolt Buster
Answer 1
a drive cycle is a very specific way to drive a car to run the monitors. you may drive the car hundreds of miles and reset nothing. i suggest paying a shop for a drive cycle to pass. by the way, i hope the repairs were made to your system. if you just re set the light, the failure is still there and may never re set the monitor.

I'm of two minds about Ancient Vvisdom. First, there's the acoustic-guitar-loving folkie mind, which is like, "Boy, these cats are pretty." Then there's the Satan-loving goth mind, which is all, "Damn, these cats are evil." So there you have it: Ancient Vvisdom is pretty fucking evil. Their dark, heavy folk would make the perfect soundtrack for, say, sacrificing a goat in some pastoral setting, or, you know, just hanging out around the house in your slippers while thinking about sacrificing a goat in a pastoral setting.
The Austin quartet doesn't have a lot of contemporaries — the singer-songwriter scene and the heavy-music scene don't have a whole lot of crossover — but fans of the dark and morbid from both sides of the fence will find themselves feeling right at home. Of course, that home is cold and unforgiving, but that's what we're all looking for, right?
Bloody Hammers and The Saint James Society open for Ancient Vvisdom tonight at Exit/In; doors are at 8 p.m., costs $10.

Respect, trust and a hot Ovi have Caps back on top
It seemed like a risky move. A first-time NHL head coach was going to try to persuade a two-time league MVP to take up a new position.
But something had to be done. Alex Ovechkin's recent numbers made him look like a stock gone bad, a valid analogy considering the Capitals aren't paying him nearly $10 million annually through the rest of this decade to be decent offensive player whose best years were already behind him.
The 27-year-old Russian's game had become so predictable and incomplete that, a year ago, he was getting benched by defensive-minded coach Dale Hunter late in games, particularly when the Capitals held a lead.
Enter Adam Oates, who moved Ovechkin from left wing to right wing and endured a miserable start to a season shortened by a labor dispute. Oates now has the Capitals - and Ovechkin - back on track. Washington has taken over first place in the Southeast Division, and Ovechkin looks like the Alexander the Great of old, netting 16 goals in 14 games to move into a tie for the NHL's goal-scoring lead.
Sounds like the risky move has paid off.
''He never met me before,'' Oates said. ''And I totally respect who he is, and what he's accomplished. And when you suggest something like that, it has to be a meeting of the minds and private conversations, and he had to trust me. It takes a little time, and obviously I hope he does now. We're going in the right direction.''
The Capitals' run of five consecutive playoff appearances was in danger of coming to an end after a 2-8-1 start. Their play were uneven and ragged through February, and Oates said on Feb. 26 that his players were only about ''60-70 percent'' along the way toward getting his system down pat.
Then, sometime in March, Oates figured they were there - or at least close enough.
''Quite honestly, for the last month, we didn't talk about it,'' Oates said. ''It's just the way we play. It's not my system or anybody's, it's just the way we play hockey. The guys know it, and when we make mistakes, it's just a team making mistakes, that's it.''
Central to the turnaround is Ovechkin, who is getting the puck in different positions and no longer relies heavily on the same familiar moves to try to beat an opponent. He has 25 goals in 39 games - a 50-plus-goal pace over an 82-game season that evokes memories of his MVP seasons of 2007-08 and 2008-09.
And there's no more limiting his minutes with a lead. He was still out there when the Capitals were holding on to a one-goal lead late against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. Ovechkin scored an empty-netter to finish off the 4-2 win.
By Oates' reckoning, that's the kind of respect due to the captain of the team.
''I told him that: `You are the man, we know that, and I want to give you every opportunity to succeed and be the man for us,''' Oates said.
It's a vote of confidence Ovechkin did not get from Hunter.
''It's trust,'' Ovechkin said. ''That's what I don't have last year. When you have that kind of feelings you just want to go out there, play for your team for your coach and do your best out there.''
Such trust served to quickly dissipate whatever resistance Ovechkin may have felt when he and Oates first talked about switching sides.
''I just get used to it,'' Ovechkin said. ''We still watch the video and we still look (at) my touches, my moments. It's nice when you have that kind of trust from team and from the coach.''
''I don't want to talk about last year,'' he added. ''This year is much different. Right now I feel pretty good and again we win the games - it's most important thing. Of course I'm happy I score the goals; the beginning of the year was pretty hard time for all (of the) organization. Now we're back on track and it's good.''
Is it like the old days?
''It's same days,'' he said with a smile.
Same, but different. Ovechkin's first goal on Sunday wasn't anything flashy - just a basic tip-in.
''He's got two tips in five games,'' Oates said. ''When did he ever do that before? Because he's around the puck more.''

Sallie Avo Rasberry Matthews, 92, of Memphis, TN, has gone to be with the Lord on June 12, 2014. She was the wife of the late Robert Bone Matthews. She leaves a son, Dr. Robert Stephen Matthews and wife Wendy, and a daughter, Sally Elizabeth Matthews. She also leaves two grandsons, Robert Matthews Hughes and wife Allison; Stephen Aaron Matthews and wife Erika; two great-grandchildren and many beloved nieces, nephews, and friends. Mrs. Matthews was born and raised in Calhoun City, MS. She earned a degree in English at Mississippi University for Women as a proud member of the class of 1942 and went on to do graduate coursework at Christian Brothers College. Mrs. Matthews taught returning soldiers at Kennedy Hospital during World War II so that they could complete coursework to finish degrees. She then taught English for over 40 years at Central High School and Evangelical Christian School. She was a long-time member of Independent Presbyterian Church. Affectionately called "Sass" by her grandchildren, she lived up to the moniker, disapproving of things with sayings such as "that's not fit to be buzzard bait," reminiscing of days teaching "raunchy Chaucer," and causing consternation for caregivers by telling them "I'm agile if I don't fall." A self-proclaimed "tough old bird," her reaction to learning about a party to celebrate her 92nd birthday was a boisterous "Hot Cindy!" To repeat one of her favorite phrases, we "love you all the way" Sass! Visitation will take place at Memorial Park Funeral Home in Memphis, TN on Sunday June 15, from 5-7 p.m. and services will be held at Memorial Park Funeral Home on June 16 at 10 a.m. in the Riverside Chapel. The family requests that any memorials be sent to Independent Presbyterian Church, Evangelical Christian School, or Porter-Leath, all of Memphis, TN.

WILLIAM HARRELL DILLARD, 98 years young, lifelong resident of Moscow, Tennessee, and most recently living at Grace Healthcare in Cordova, passed away on June 13, 2014. His beloved wife of 58 years, Bertha Belle Wade Dilliard, and his parents, Johnnie Dilliard and Annie Chambers Dilliard, preceded him in death. He leaves behind one daughter, Frances Lee Pulliam of Moscow and three grandchildren: Debra Walters (George) of Bolivar, Ed Pulliam (Joyce) of Moscow and Amy McClure of Moscow. He will be greatly missed but always lovingly remembered as PawPaw by his six grandchildren: Ben Walters, Erin VanVuuren, Damon Pulliam, Kara Milby, Kimberly McClure, Courtney McClure and his four great-grandchildren. He is survived by his sister, Rosalyn Dilliard Rutledge Fortune of Germantown and goes to the Lord's home to be with his other siblings, Clifton Dilliard, Wafford Dilliard, Kenneth Dilliard and Mildred Simmons. He was an active member of Bethlehem Methodist Church for over sixty years; taught Sunday school and served as Superintendent; and was actively involved in the supervision and upkeep of the Bethlehem Cemetery for many years. In later life, after the closure of the Bethlehem church, he joined Moscow United Methodist where he continued to be a devoted member including singing in the choir. He was retired from the A.S.C.S. where he worked for thirty-eight years measuring cotton and was presented a plaque by The Fayette County Board of Equalization in appreciation for his dedicated service. A Certificate of Appreciation from NASDA was awarded to him for his exceptional quality, dedication and dependability in the performance of his duties as an Enumerator for the Tennessee Agricultural Statistics Service. He loved his country and was a WWII Veteran of the United States Marines. He was a 1932 graduate of Moscow High School and attended Lambuth College for two years. He was an avid farmer at Hays Crossing and loved gardening-especially growing and giving vegetables to his neighbors. We suspect that Heaven will have a banner crop of tomatoes under "Uncle Bill's" and "Bunks'" care. Traveling was a great love of his, and he and Bertha Belle traveled with his sister, Rosalyn, to visit the Holy Land and every state but Hawaii. Bill, notwithstanding his poor health in recent years, never lost his faith nor his winning smile and sense of humor. Visitation will be at 12 noon followed by funeral services at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, June 17th, at Peebles Funeral Home, Somerville.

Embraer To Unveil New Business Jet
At press time, Brazilian manufacturer Embraer was set to unveil a full-size mockup of its proposed next business jet at the NBAA Convention in Atlanta in late September. According to company president and CEO
Frederico Fleury Curado, the mockup does not constitute an official launch of the as-yet-unnamed, nonderivative aircraft, which would fill the niche between Embraer's Phenom 300 and larger Legacy 600. He added that the company is still considering plans for a second aircraft in that same market segment. He said that Embraer has now received nonrefundable orders for more than 500 Phenom 100s. The airplane is scheduled for certification next summer. n

Court case vs Chinese poachers postponed for 3rd time
PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, Philippines — A court case against a group of Chinese fishermen facing jail in the Philippines for poaching was postponed for a third time on Wednesday, after the government accused China of frustrating the proceedings.
The fate of the nine fishermen has worsened an already bitter row between the Philippines and China over competing territorial claims in the South China Sea, because they were arrested last month in disputed waters.
A court on the westernmost Philippine island of Palawan that is meant to hear the case on Wednesday postponed the pre-trial hearing until July 1 after their lawyer appealed for more time, prosecutor Alen Rodriguez told AFP.
The pre-trial hearing was initially scheduled for June 4, but has now been postponed three times.
The proceedings had previously been postponed due to the court's inability to find an interpreter for the Chinese.
President Benigno Aquino's spokesman said on Tuesday the Chinese embassy in Manila was partly to blame for the delays by not assisting in providing an interpreter.
"Chinese embassy officials don't want to participate in the proceedings. They don't want to provide an interpreter for the Chinese fishermen," spokesman Herminio Coloma said, citing comments from Rodriguez.
Local ethnic Chinese residents have in the past acted in similar cases. One of those residents initially translated for the fishermen at their arraignment hearing last month, but then withdrew his services.
Some of the ethnic Chinese residents told AFP that, after meeting a Chinese diplomat, they decided not to work on the case because they felt intimidated and did not want to antagonize the Chinese government.
However a young ethnic Chinese resident was finally persuaded to act as an interpreter, according to Rodriquez, and helped the fishermen at Wednesday's proceedings.
A Chinese embassy spokesman did not respond to requests for comment.
The Chinese government has previously said it does not recognize the case and demanded the fishermen be released immediately, insisting they were fishing legally in waters belonging to China.
Police detained the fishermen on May 6 near Half Moon Shoal in the South China Sea, 111 kilometers (69 miles) off Palawan.
They were charged with poaching an endangered species, which carries a maximum jail term of 20 years, after hundreds of turtles were allegedly found on their boat.
The Philippines insists it has sovereign rights to the shoal, which is part of its exclusive economic zone and more than 1,000 kilometers from the nearest major Chinese landmass.
But China claims nearly all of the South China Sea, even waters approaching the coasts of its neighbors.
The dispute has severely strained relations in recent years, with the Philippines accusing China of embarking on an "expansionist agenda" that has included creating artificial islands in areas close to the Philippines.
