Zero Tolerance 1 Running Head: ZERO TOLERANCE Zero Tolerance Stephanie Faison, Kirsti Kimble, Sherie Love, Belinda McGuire, Jacklyn Roberts Grand Canyon University Zero Tolerance 2 Abstract Zero Tolerance is a controversial issue that administrators must understand and implement in their school. By observing various scenarios pertaining to the Zero Tolerance law, administrators can promote an action plan to abide by the laws while not hindering a student"s academic success. This action plan must consider the law and factors involved with each situation. While expulsion is a necessary component of the law, repercussions and ethical implications of expulsion should be considered. Factors such as the student"s options after the expulsion and what the expulsion policy says to the community should be considered in depth. Zero Tolerance 3 Zero Tolerance The violence in today"s schools has escalated to brutal proportions. This cruel violence, allowed to go unchecked, will permeate the educational environment, diminishing the overall chances of every student receiving a thorough and efficient education. By embracing the concept of Zero Tolerance, within the community and school, a better educational environment will be provided, thus creating an opportunity to achieve better academic performance (Johnson, 1999). From a students" perspective, Zero Tolerance, as enforced in many schools today, is a policy that punishes the innocent for the crimes of the guilty (Starr, 2002). Zero Tolerance is an ineffective disciplinary means in school environments. It treats every offense the same, no matter who or when the commission of the act takes place. All are equal. In the case of the "bad kids" Zero Tolerance at first glance seems like it would be an effective policy. In realty, it will not hinder bad behavior in schools. The outcome would look more like students spending time plotting their schemes with a focus on not getting caught. Zero Tolerance could also lead to more bullying and scapegoating because stakes are high. Wouldn"t everyone love to blame their mistakes on someone else? In a Zero Tolerance system, this happens all of the time. The outcome is more time and energy from the staff and principals to uncover the reality of the situation. Often times mistakes will be made and the wrong kid will take the fall. The high stakes of Zero Tolerance have led to time consuming, expensive outcomes. In the Philadelphia City School District, numerous court cases have resulted from Zero Tolerance policies. Interestingly, "by a three to two vote, Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court last week ruled Zero Tolerance "Act 88", the Pennsylvania law barring Philadelphia adjudicated delinquents from returning to regular public schools, violates the due process clause of the Constitution"(Philadelphia Public Record, 2005). It is true that schools sometimes violate their own policies just to get parents off their backs. "Sometimes, it isn"t enough to just be right. We need to be "right on" in our decisions about the lives of our students"(Risher, 2003). Under recent Zero Tolerance initiatives, trivial forms of student misconduct, that were once handled informally by teachers and school administrators, are now more likely to result in a police arrest and referral to juvenile or adult court. 4 Since the mid 1990"s, a growing number of schools have adopted Zero Tolerance policies under which students receive predetermined penalties for any offense, no matter how minor. Students have been suspended or expelled from school for sharing Midol, and Certs tablets, and for bringing nail clippers or scissors to school (Johnson, 1999). There is no credible evidence that Zero Tolerance measures improve classroom management or the behavior of students. Such measures are not only ineffectual but also appear to have a negative impact on children of color. Research indicates that black children are more likely than white children to be suspended or expelled from school under Zero Tolerance (CQ Researcher, 2000). While it is true that America needed to take strong action in the disturbing wake of the Columbine shootings, "No Tolerance Laws" are deemed to be controversial in whether such extreme consequences for every student, regardless of the extent of the infraction, are necessary. Zero Tolerance 5 In a public middle school in Birmingham, Alabama, Zero Tolerance laws are abided by regularly, by school officials. The results of actions taken in correlation with these laws have had both a positive and negative effect on the learning environment. The Zero Tolerance law has affected Baylor Middle School in numerous ways over the past decade. With a tougher discipline system, expulsions increased. Students were more likely to be expelled due to these regulations. Students were being expelled for petty crimes. The crimes were, to most, unworthy of two weeks suspension, much less expulsion. The students were very discouraged and felt the school system was unfair, resulting in poor behavior and declining grades. These issues seem to abound not only at this school, but schools across America. Each scenario related to Zero Tolerance in schools seemed to have its own unique faults. In the Rocket Scientist Scenario (March, 1999), the administrator needed to have a conference with the student and find out his intent. Under the Zero Tolerance policy, interpretation by the administrator or administrative committee is allowed. Each offense is situational and should be analyzed by the administrative committee at the school. The student was not given an opportunity to explain himself. According to the law of due process, the boy should have been afforded this right, before such a harsh punishment was levied. After a conference with the student and teachers, the administrative committee should decide on a punishment, if any were actually needed, that was more fitting for the situation. In the Bang Bang, You"re Dead Scenario, the administrator should have considered all factors. Factors in this case that needed to be analyzed were the age of the children and the intent. If the students were in elementary school, they probably saw the Zero Tolerance 6 gun as a toy to play with and not as a weapon. If the students were older, they would know better. However, an examination of would expulsion really be necessary, would have to be explored. In this case, the administrator or committee should have met with the students and their parents and discussed the regulations regarding Zero Tolerance. After analyzing the information gathered, the punishment given should fit the crime committed. When dealing with the situations discussed in the reading, a plan of action should be created and implemented in each situation that concerns the Zero Tolerance policy. Each scenario is different, making it difficult to have a cookie cutter consequence for each offense. Also, in these controversial decisions, it is important to have a committee who can help the administrator put the evidence together and decide what punishment should be given to the student. When an incident occurs these following steps should be taken. First of all, the administrator should have a conference with the students and determine their intent. After talking with the students and gathering evidence, a Zero Tolerance committee should meet to analyze the situation and discuss a punishment that is appropriate for the infraction. While Zero Tolerance was presented with the best of intentions of preventing school violence, administrators should not allow the act to subvert an individual"s right to education. Several pros and cons avail in each decision an administrator makes. The following action plan would allow students to receive an onsite hearing, at the school level, before a punishment is decided. Thus, enabling the use of intervention strategies that would make sure students receive the most appropriate punishment. Properly handled, students will recognize the errors of their ways, know they were dealt with Zero Tolerance 7 fairly, and accept the punishment without feeling discouraged. This would also allow students to see school as a place of justice and fairness. A negative consequence that might occur would be the risk of the district writing the school up for not obeying the Zero Tolerance Laws in their school. Parents and the community might question the actions of the committee. Zero Tolerance is destined to create controversy due to the nature of the law, but administrators can prevent chaos by forming committees, including a variety of stakeholders, where evidence is examined and the punishment matches the infraction committed. In evaluating the repercussions and ethical implications of expulsion in the school environment, the procedure is in alignment with the Local and State Boards of Education policies and procedures that are governed by law under the First Amendment. Therefore, the process for expulsion according to the Birmingham City Schools Code of Student Conduct is as follows: The normal disciplinary punishment for the commission of a Class III offense is removal from school for the reminder of the school year or, if the offense occurs within the last twenty school days of the school year, removal from school for the rest of the school year and the next school year. The principal (or designee), after reviewing the allegations and evidence against a student and giving the student the opportunity to respond to the allegations (due process), is initially responsible for deciding that a Class III offense has been committed. Once that determination has been made, the principal (or designee) will give the student a suspension notice containing a written statement of the charges (and a statement of mitigating or extenuating circumstances, if any) and shall Zero Tolerance 8 suspend the student to the Hearing Officer. The principal (or designee) shall mail a suspension notice to the parent(s) or guardian and notify the Director of Attendance. If the Hearing Officer decides, based on facts developed at the hearing, that the student committed a Class II offense, the student shall be subject to expulsion. If, however, there are mitigating or extenuating circumstances, the Hearing Officer shall separately state those circumstances and may consider them in deciding appropriate disciplinary action. Mitigating or extenuating circumstances include, but are not limited to, the absence of severe personal injury, the absence of extensive property damage, identified disabilities, including lack of English proficiency, which may require the need to provide English as a Second Language services, interventions at the local school level, and no prior record of a Class III offense. All students who are expelled or otherwise removed from school must schedule a reinstatement conference with a Hearing Officer before he/she can be enrolled in any city school in the district. One of the Hearing Officer"s options is to allow the student to attend an alternative school under the conditions set forth by the Board of Education in order to earn admittance to the local school. Should the parent(s) or guardian be offered this opportunity and decline it, the Hearing Officer may recommend to the Superintendent that the student be expelled from all city schools in the district (2005). According to Essex (2008), "Expulsion is considered one of the more severe forms of discipline because it involves long-term separation from the school district or, in some instances, permanent separation" p. 88. Students, who have committed an offense serious enough to be expelled, still have a right to an equitable education. For these students several options exist. The option Zero Tolerance 9 chosen depends on the severity of the offense, the age of the individual and their academic capacity. Our school district uses the PRC (Pupil Resource Committee) hearings to evaluate the charges against students based on all available information. This information will be used to decide which type of placement and /or support services are needed to assure the student receives his/her education in the least restrictive environment. This team of individuals is usually made up of an administrator, social service workers, a health care professional, and a teacher. Their job is also to make referrals to appropriate behavioral modification services as well as follow up on the progress being made. This is done before an expulsion hearing takes place. Every effort is made to alleviate the situation as possible, without the student having to be separated from school. Each public school district has the responsibility to assure each student is afforded an equitable education. For this reason, the following placements, in the order of least severe to most severe actions would be: Behavior modification contract Transfer to another school in the district Placement in Twilight program (an educational program which starts at the close of the regular school day) Pathways Program (off site) Adult Evening School Students being left to roam the streets is never the intent of the district. The district makes every effort to assure these students have options that will allow them to continue their academic pursuits. Zero Tolerance 10 It is hoped that our policy communicates to the community that we are dedicated to securing an education for all its citizens, including those who commit offenses against the system. We, the district, understand that education is a strong deterrent to violence and apathy in communities. It is hoped that all students will become a productive member of society, adding to the economy, not taking away from it. If, with time, a student proves he/she is able to assimilate back into the general population of the school, they can request and receive reinstatement. The problem arises when the student becomes bitter, feeling they had been treated unfairly and for whatever reason, they have no one advocating for them at home. These students tend to refuse alternative methods of behavioral adjustments. They might then lash out at society by committing criminal acts that result in their incarceration. This student will become a liability to the state taxpayers instead of a contributor. When speaking to administrator, Rene Johnson, she stated, "an expulsion is rarely, if ever done in our district" (personal statement). As we can all see, it really does not benefit the student or community to expel students. For this reason, a more appropriate setting is always sought out before expulsion, which is a last resort. Problems arise when policies are written that restrict the discretion of school authority in administering punishment for policy offenses. Input from a variety of sources in the drafting of policies help ensure that mitigating circumstances are considered. Due to these circumstances, Zero Tolerance will continue to be a controversial issue in school settings. Zero Tolerance 11 References Essex, N.L. (2005). School Law and the Public Schools (3rd ed.)

Mike Modano's evening started off surrounded by the cameras and lights, just as his career did and under the microscope, being treated like the star he was destined to become, as he, Eddie Olczyk and Lou Lamorillo were all inducted into the USA Hockey Hall of Fame this past Monday in Modano's hometown of Dallas, TX.
"It has been a remarkable transition," Mike said as he met members of the media who gathered from all over the nation prior to the start of the ceremony. Modano said he didn't get a full grasp of what it was like to represent one's country until the World Junior tournament in Moscow back in 1987. Alluding to how long it took for them to grow the sport and show the rest of the world the US could play with them, Mike mentioned the 1980 "Miracle on Ice" team that defeated the Soviet Union.
"1980 was very pivotal politically with everything going on with the Cold War. I was 10 years old and playing in the Silver Stick tournament in Port Huron, MI when we stopped playing to watch the game in the lobby. Life stopped for a couple of hours. It was a heroic victory."
As influential as the "Miracle" team was to Mike's generation, he feels his 1996 World Cup team that defeated Canada opened the door for the players of today.
It didn't all start off that way for the most prolific US-born scorer, however. Modano said he grew up wanting to play baseball, and quite frankly didn't even like hockey. But his parents and he struggled with some "problematic" energy and they, together with a family friend took to the ice for the first time and at that moment, the Modano's had found "an outlet."
When he was 16, his parents left what would end up being the most important decision in his life up to Mike, as he decided the best way to advance his abilities and get to the ultimate goal of being drafted would be to head north of the border. That's when former coach, Rick Wilson, called Mike and introduced him to a little town of Prince Albert in Saskatchewan.
From there, he played with some of the greatest players and for some of the greatest coaches the game has ever produced. He also learned valuable life lessons, such as what to do when as a rookie, someone places to live lobsters in your bag; you call down to room service and you have steak and lobster for dinner that evening.
Modano is as well known for his emotion as he is his wrist shot and Monday night was no different, as he fought back tears on several occasions. At one point as he was describing the influence his parents had, he stopped momentarily, and without missing a beat (or looking up) pointed toward his table where his parents were sitting and told his mother to not get up (in reference to his retirement speech where emotions overflowed and his mom embraced him on stage).
"It's kind of weird how we ended up here in Dallas," Mike said. "It's been a long road and journey." And it has been for number 9. From the frozen backyard in Livonia, MI taking shots at his mom who was equipped with a baseball mitt and trashcan lid for a blocker to being coached by Herb Brooks, the very coach who inspired men of his age back in 1980 to want to play for the US, Mike Modano took every challenge put before him and not only met those challenges, but did so with that poster-boy smile that has become as big a trademark of his as the number 9 on his back.
Through the tears, Modano said he was most proud of being part of the group that brought hockey to Texas. When Norm Green brought the North Stars down from Minnesota, there were maybe 50 kids registered to play hockey. Today, there are over 10,000 and dozens of rinks.
Just to think, the Modano's were just "looking for an outlet," Mike said. "I think we found a lot more than that."

Token - 1 Penny, Australian Steam Navigation Co, Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, circa 1851 Reg. No: NU 3543
- Summary:
- Brass Token, minted by Whitty and Brown, Sydney. Issued by the Australian Steam Navigation Co, Sydney, 1851. On 30 June 1851 the Hunter River Steam Navigation Company changed its name to the Australasian Steam Navigation Company (ASN Co), when the original company's objectives were felt to be too restrictive. The renamed company immediately ordered two new ships from Britain. Upon their arrival in April 1852 they were engaged on services to Victoria for the booming gold fields trade, and a further six steamers were ordered from Britain by the end of the year. During the 1850s, the ASN Co. engaged in cut-throat competition with a range of other steamship companies in the Australian market, driving a number out of business including the rival Sydney and Melbourne Steam Packet Company.
- Description:
- A uniface round copper token (31 mm dia) featuring the initials of the issuing company ASNCo and three men wearing hats in a boat on a choppy sea, two are rowing and the third steering.

Info For Teens
Ask the Experts
Even though two women don't have to worry about getting pregnant when they have sex, they still have to think about how to protect themselves from sexually transmitted infections.
In general, women who have sex only with other women are at less risk than other women for infections like chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV. But they are at risk for other infections, including bacterial vaginosis, herpes, HPV, pubic lice, and trichomoniasis. Sex between women can be safer if sex toys are always cleaned before another partner uses them and by using dental dams during oral sex. A dental dam is a small thin square of latex that you can use as a barrier to keep your bodily fluids to yourself. Click here to learn more about how dental dams work.
Because women who have sex with other women are at risk of STDs, they should talk with their doctor or nurse about any discomfort they have, and they should get regular checkups.
2 Responses to How do two women having sex protect themselves?

Can having sex drunk up your risk of getting pregnant?
Alex says:
Hi Kenzie,
If you're having sex drunk, you're much less likely to use a condom correctly, which can increase your risk of pregnancy. Click here to learn more about mixing sex with alcohol and other drugs.

Metabolic ReSet Weight Loss Shake Mix safely reprograms appetite to reduce hunger and cravings*
Smooth & Delicious
As part of a healthy diet and exercise plan, metabolic reset addresses both the glycemic and caloric causes of weight gain.
Weight gain is often caused by the body's response to reacting high systemic index foods (rich in simple carbohydrates or sugars). The results can be periods of intense hunger that lead to excessive calorie consumption. This is known as the "glycemic" cause of weight gain.
How Metabolic ReSet Works - The key is its combination of patented Viscofiber (highly viscous, soluble oat beta-glucan concentrate) and whey protein isolate. The Viscofiber proprietary blend makes Metabolic ReSet different than other weight loss supplements or simple meal replacement powders. This unique formula works in the following ways:
Glycemic cause of weight gain - Fad diets, poor eating habits, high glycemic index foods and genetics can each contribute to rapid rise and sharp declines in blood glucose levels, which lead to a repetitive cycle of -
Balanced after-meal blood glucose levels results in more sensible eating, less fat storage, and better success achieving optimal body weight.

If you are pregnant, nursing or under 18 years of age, consult a healthcare professional before beginning any weight loss program. Contains trace amounts of soy and natural flavors and milk from whey protein isolate. Keep out of reach of children. Sold by weight, not volume.

Tastes great! Don't mix it with water, I use skim milk and it tastes great. It does take a bit if you mix by hand so use the blender if you have time. I like to throw in a banana, peach, or other fruit to add to the shake. Leaves me feeling full. I just started and usually the first week on a new diet is the worse but I feel full and great. Hope to lose weight soon!

I give it only 2 stars for the ghastly taste. Otherwise, the awful taste lingered sufficiently in between meals to keep me mildly nauseated. Thus I must admit I lost 6 lbs. in the first week. Hopefully I can get my money's worth and choke down the rest of it.

Comments about Nature's Way Metabolic Reset Weight Loss Shake Mix, Chocolate, 1.4 lb:
I picked this up from my local grocery store, they only had chocolate flavor. I have been using it for a week and so far i like it! I mix it with low fat milk and use a water bottle that measures ounces so i get just the right measurement and mix it up in that. I like the taste, though a bit sweet . It is definitely a satisfying shake, i feel full for hours. I have tried blending it with banana & Ice to make a frozen treat and it's very good that way. Worth the money in my opinion, great way to kickstart my weightloss!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Mmm Mmm Good!
By Hawaiian Princess
from Mililani, HI
I use this product in place of breakfast and lunch, or as 1 meal replacement on days I eat 2 meals. Unlike other meal replacement formulas, ingredients are natural (i.e., Stevia in place of sugar). Loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, high protein and low carb to boot! I lost almost 30 pounds since Sept 2011 using this product exclusively (and as directed, of course). Instead of water or skim milk, I use Silk soy milk (the non-sweetened variety) and blend in acai powder and cinnamon for added antioxidant power. Delicious.Will continue to use this product.
Will buy again

describe yourself Athletic, Health Conscious
I've tried a fair amount of protein mixes, and this one is the only one that tastes good and is filling enough tide me through to lunch when I need it. With the others I was always hungry. It makes a thick, chocolatey drink and it tastes great mixed with unsweetened almond milk (I try to limit my sugar, I'm sure it would taste wonderful with the full-sugar kind too.) I've never tried it with water, so I can't vouch for it's taste or mix-ability with water. I've never had problems mixing it, but reading that others have I've always put a small amount of almond milk in a large glass, mixed in one scoop at a time vigorously with a fork, and then added the rest of the almond milk and mixed it up. Works just fine if you're too lazy to drag out the blender like me.

good tasting product
By mirn81
from Jackson, MI
describe yourself Health Conscious, Overweight
I use a couple different meal replacement products, but Metabolic Reset chocolate flavor is one of my favorite. It contains a very good amount of protein and has a good flavor (I mix mine with light soy milk). I also add some flaxseed and ice to make a thicker, more like a milkshake consistency. Only thing that would make this product five star is if they would add more fiber to the mix than is already present.

I love this product. I love chocolate and think it tastes great mixed with skim milk. Fills me up and curbs my appetite much longer than Slimfast. Cons: 1)it is a bit lumpy, doesn't bother me ,because it is chocolate lumps, but if you have texture issues it may bother you. 2) it's expensive

I am giving this a 5-star ...
By Anonymous
from Undisclosed
I am giving this a 5-star review because it does exactly what it is designed to do. Out of all of the things I have tried, this shake can really keep you full for 4+ hours. It has a great ratio of carbs, protein, and fiber without any artificial sweeteners that can make you feel bloated or give you a stomach ache. I will say it is not the best tasting thing in the world so here is my recommendation: Add a few scoops with some water and or milk/yogurt into a blender. Add a little bit of sugar free chocolate syrup and some ice and you are totally good to go. It may not blend perfectly but it is GREAT for someone looking to lose weight and not feel hungry all the time.
For weight reduction, use only as directed in the accompanying diet plan found at metabolicreaset.com. Do not use in diets supplying less than 400 calories per day without medical supervision.
To make a satisfying skaoe, add 3 scoops (45 g) of powder to 8 ounces of cold water. Shake or stir briskly into a amooth consistency. If desired, blend in fruit or other healthy ingredients. My also be mixed with skim, soy or other milk.
Store in a cool, dry place.

Super Rugby preview: Crusaders v Reds
Last Updated: 20/07/13 12:33pm
A number of big names are back on show this weekend as the likes of James Horwill and Richie McCaw go head-to-head in the Crusaders' Super Rugby play-off against the Reds.
The return of New Zealand lock Luke Romano is the only change to the Crusaders starting XV. All Blacks skipper McCaw will be on the bench as he makes his first Super Rugby appearance this season after his six-month sabbatical.
Play-offs Live
You can see all the action from the Crusaders play-off against the Reds live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Saturday.
Romano has recovered from a high ankle sprain that forced him out of last week's win over the Hurricanes. He starts alongside Sam Whitelock in place of Tom Donnelly, who deputised in the second row last weekend.
Donnelly drops out of the matchday squad as Luke Whitelock provides both lock and loose forward cover on the bench. Centre Tom Taylor, a midweek injury doubt after suffering a head knock against the Hurricanes, has also been cleared to start.
There is one other change amongst the replacements as the versatile Adam Whitelock, who can cover wing and midfield, replaces Telusa Veainu.
The Reds have been boosted by the return of Australian captain Horwill and Will Genia. The pair missed out on the Reds' final round match last week due to injuries suffered while on international duty, but make a timely return to fitness.
However, the men from Queensland will be without key backs Rod Davies (knee) and Mike Harris (hamstring).
Harris is replaced in the midfield by Jono Lance while Davies' spot out wide is taken by Chris Feauai-Sautia as part of an all-new wing division that sees Dom Shipperley come in for Luke Morahan.
Genia takes over the No 9 jersey from Nick Frisby. Centre Anthony Faingaa has not recovered sufficiently from a hamstring strain to take up his place among the replacements.
Horwill's injection into the second row is the only change in the pack, with Ed O'Donoghue dropping to the bench.
Crusaders: 15 Israel Dagg, 14 Tom Marshall, 13 Ryan Crotty, 12 Tom Taylor, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Dan Carter, 9 Andy Ellis, 8 Kieran Read (c), 7 Matt Todd, 6 George Whitelock, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Wyatt Crockett.
Replacements: 16 Ben Funnell, 17 Joe Moody, 18 Luke Whitelock, 19 Richie McCaw, 20 Willi Heinz, 21 Tyler Bleyendaal, 22 Adam Whitelock.
Reds: 15 Ben Lucas, 14 Dom Shipperley, 13 Ben Tapuai, 12 Jono Lance, 11 Chris Feauai-Sautia, 10 Quade Cooper, 9 Will Genia (vc), 8 Jake Schatz, 7 Liam Gill, 6 Eddie Quirk, 5 James Horwill (c), 4 Rob Simmons, 3 James Slipper, 2 Saia Faingaa, 1 Greg Holmes.
Replacements: 16 Albert Anae, 17 Jono Owen, 18 Ed O'Donoghue, 19 Radike Samo, 20 Beau Robinson, 21 Nick Frisby, 22 Luke Morahan.
What they said...
Reds director of coaching Ewen McKenzie
"There is always going to be some damage at this time of the year and while it's disappointing to be without a few guys, we are getting the experience of James and Will back.
"Their influence can't be understated and you need world class players and strong leaders if you are going to win these games on the big stage.
"We have had to reshuffle our backline in some positions and the players coming in now have an opportunity to contribute in a positive way.
"They've all had plenty of experience this year in the roles we are asking of them and we've got every confidence in our entire 22-man squad to get the job done."
Crusaders head coach Todd Blackadder
"We are now at the business end of the competition and playing knock out rugby. Having a home ground advantage makes all the difference at this stage of the competition.
"I know the Crusader fans will be right behind the team on Saturday and will show the Reds what it is like to play at our fortress."

Rookie QBs Won't Get Redshirt Year in NFL
Miami's Ryan Tannehill will be the Dolphins' starting quarterback, the team announced Monday. The eighth overall pick out of Texas A&M joins Andrew Luck (Indianapolis), Robert Griffin III (Washington) and Brandon Weeden (Cleveland) as rookies that are set to start on opening day.
Barring injury, it will be the first time since at least 1950 that four rookie quarterbacks will start on the first week of the season, according to Stats LLC. The last time at least three rookie quarterbacks started during the opening week was 1969.
At his Monday's news conference, Dolphins coach Joe Philbin said the NFL "hasn't been too big" for Tannehill. The freakish evolution of young quarterbacks points to what those inside the game say is a confluence of factors—from youth 7-on-7 leagues to pass-first college offenses—that has made young quarterbacks NFL- ready when they enter the league.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal in April, Tannehill credited the Texas youth summer leagues for being a major part of his development. Three of the new starters—Weeden, Griffin and Tannehill, also played their college ball in the Big 12, a conference which specializes in the spread passing offense, which an increasing number of NFL teams are using.

Angels Hurlers Struggle Keeping Balls in Yard
The Los Angeles Angels began August as the leader in the AL wild-card race. But a 5-13 record for the month, mainly due to opponents bashing the ball out of the park (36 home-runs allowed) has dropped the Angels to third in the AL West and 4½ games out of the final wild-card spot, entering Monday's games.
Things could get worse as Ervin Santana (pictured) takes the hill Tuesday night at Fenway Park in Boston. The Red Sox rank ninth in home runs and Santana has the worst home-runs allowed rate—1.86 per nine innings—in the majors.
—Dave Cameron

I love this product!! I have bright red zits on most of my face that I have always had trouble covering up. I misjudged the colors and I got ultra light which on me it looked like white paint. What I discovered works for me is to mix a darker foundation with it on my hand.... And bam a full coverage foundation! this stuff is so pigmented! The only downside are the colors (well at least the ones that I've seen.) I have yellow undertones and my mom has the medium shade, so before I tried mixing a darker foundation I tried mixing the medium and the ultra light together to use as a concealer. It was so yellow and as I said before I have yellow undertones! But when I run out of ultra light I will get something darker, I believe that there is a light medium. Overall it's an amazing product!

This is my favorite concealer ever. Yes it is a little thick, but that's how I prefer it to be. I have tried many high end concealers and drugstore ones and they have all failed miserably compared to this. This is my first hard candy purchase I was hesitant to try anything from them bc I thought it was more for the teens and not the best quality. I recently tried wet n wild mega last lipsticks and now I own six. They are my favorite lipsticks by far. So since they proved me wrong about cheap being bad I decided to give hard candy a try. I'm soooo happy swith this purchase! When I read the back of the box that had instructions on how to conceal tattoos, I new it had to work. It does take some getting use to. And you have to play around to find the best way to apply. I use my bare minerals concealer brush and it works great. I use the medium shade and it instantly make me look awake. I was highly concerned it would settle into my under eye lines and separate like ever other concealer. I apply my rimmel london pro fix primer all over then HC concealer and at the end of the day I still look great. Having success with this I went back and bought the hard candy eye primer and it is also great. Really keeps my eye shadow on in place all day. The concealer come with a pencil concealer as well ,most people probably toss it, but i think it is really handy to help cover raised acne that sometimes liquid concealer can not get into the nooks of. I don't have bad acne but every one in awhile one pops up and I just can't leave it alone oops * I will defiantly buy again. The packaging is great in my opinion it's in a tube which keeps it sanitary, has an ombré design I think it's really cute. A little goes a loooong way. I need so little product it's unbelievable. If you use to much , like a pea size amount you can cover your whole face. This will last forever. The consistency is thick but it stays put and covers very well. For 5 buck, heck yes.
Tip* if you use just a little too much you will think its crap. I squeeze the tube LIGHTLY As soon as I see the product start to come out I stop. Sometimes I can just use the little bit that was left from the previous application to cover both eyes. BLENDING is key

I do and don't like this product. I have quite dark under eyes, however if it was a tad bit thinner I think it would work better. The consistency I find to be too thick. Also I think it needs to be set with a powder. I find you have to touch up through your day which can make it look cakey. Overall ok product.

colors run very very light. i got medium light and it was super light! The coverage is really good but it feels oily and greasy on your skin. A little goes a long way but it does tend to look a little ashy on the skin.

I hated this. Was so excited to pick it up after hearing so many positive reviews on the coverage on youtube. The color is great, but the concealer does not set on my skin whatsoever. Even if I use a powder on top of it, it feels greasy and transfers. Very disappointing, would not recommend.

unfortunately this did not work for me. it's such a shame because the color matches me so well, the packaging so convenient, and the coverage so great. I have acne and this concealer did not irritate them. I also used it on my under eye and it works really well there also. my only problem is that it simply doesn't stay on me. my personal HG is the mac prolongwear, which is the only concealer I've ever tried that stays on me the whole day perfectly. this concealer transfers even when I set it and starts to make my face oily in less than an hour. I'll continue to use for my under eyes but I would not repurchase. i do however urge everyone to try it and judge for themselves because it is very good value and has amazing coverage. to use under eyes I just take some concealer, use my thumb and ring finger to disperse it all over my fingers until only a thin layer is left, and pat onto my under eyes. it doesn't crease this way and covers everything.

I had tried this one other time and i didn't like it, i liked the coverage but it made my nose itchy and it was so light and looked flakey so i gave up and took it back. I have really bad dark circles under my eyes, more purple than anything. Its not from lack of sleep or anything, long story short my mother out me in a pool with a ton of cholrine when i was a few weeks old and it affect my eyes pretty badly. But nothing covers them at all, literally nothing. I have redness on my nose, around my nose, a tad bit of redness on my chin and i have such a hard time finding anything that covers that isnt expensive that isnt cakey, been such a constent struggle. I was reading views about this product on here again, its a hit or miss for people. I caved in and got it again. like i said before, i liked the coverage of it. I like it now and will conintue to get it until i would happen to find something better, i cant apply it with my brush otherwise it just gets so cakey so i use my fingers. Its a little grey and still light for my skin tone but i use my bb cream over top it to sorta make it more, i dont know, human like? and it works. Would be better if it would just a little thinner so i could use my brush! I use the concealer pencil with it to fix the redness around my lips so its not so red when i wear lipstick. Overall, would reccomend this product. Could work for you, might not but give it a try! if it doesnt work, you can always return it as long as you have a reciept. :)

This concealer is my HG!!! Before I hated it because I found it to be too heavy,it creased so much under my eyes, and it didnt match my skin tone (too yellow) but when I mixed it with my garnier bb cream it worked like magic!!!! I have horrible dark circles and no concealer ever works for me but this combo works like a charm and it stays put all day , doesn't crease, and just covers my acne/dark circles beautifully! Alone it's okay but if you try mixing it with a dewy foundation it'll blend so much better into your skin and look so much more natural. I love it!

Beautifully made six sided, hexagon shape compact. Unmarked but it looks like it might be German. The top looks like shagreen but upon close examination there are tiny round stones of some kind that are inlaid, cool to the touch. Color is shades of pale green. Compact polishes up and I believe it is German nickel silver. Hinged on one side which opens to a mirror inside top and a cover with handle for powder/rouge. I think the puff is ostrich feather with blue ribbon and is unused. Approx. 1 3/4" x a touch over 3/8" H. Overall in excellent condition. The top has one area which is a little uneven but I believe this is the way it was made. Probably from 1920's-30's

This (slightly) reshaped Republican race sure is getting fun, isn't it? It figures to be a rough day for former mayor Rudolph Giuliani, R-N.Y. (not even factoring in the end of the Torre era at Yankee Stadium): Rudy's rivals are ready to pounce on the unlikely GOP frontrunner, in front of a crowd that's hardly inclined to defend the former mayor.
Former governor Mitt Romney, R-Mass., is preparing the sharpest series of lines for the "Values Voters Summit," as he makes a play to win the conference straw poll. "We're not going to beat Hillary Clinton by acting like Hillary Clinton," he plans to say in his speech tonight, ABC's Jake Tapper reports. The line will be "interpreted as aimed at the former New York mayor, who has a liberal history on many social issues such as abortion and immigration," Tapper writes.
Add to that a newly aggressive former senator Fred Thompson, R-Tenn., an eager-to-get-back-in-the-fray Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., and a valediction from Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. (who bids farewell to the race this afternoon), and the 2,300-strong crowd will be prepped to face down evil itself by the time Giuliani takes the stage tomorrow.
But when social conservative leaders meet after the speechifying is done, they still appear unlikely to unite behind any Republican candidate. "Today, thousands of Christian conservatives will gather in Washington to confront the fact that none of the candidates has won them over," Michael Shear and Perry Bacon Jr. write in The Washington Post. The conference "will highlight the uncertainty among activists and the sense of urgency among the candidates."
"Several influential Christian conservative leaders said it was unlikely, even after the conference, that they would be able to coalesce around a single candidate as they had once hoped to do," Michael Luo and Julie Bosman write in The New York Times. "That raises anew the prospect that the movement's ability to shape the outcome of the primaries could be seriously diminished." Says Gary Bauer: "My guess is things will not be that much more clarified at the end of the weekend."
Jill Lawrence writes in USA Today, "Somebody's got to win the presidential straw poll this weekend at a gathering of Christian conservative luminaries and activists. The question is whether it will be 'undecided' or an actual candidate." The buzz on the eve of the conference? "Grumbling, ambivalence and talk of bolting to a third party," Lawrence writes.
Rudy can't love the attacks - - and don't expect an embrace or an assist from the crowd -- but this is very welcome news to Giuliani, who leads comfortably in national polls in spite of views that place him far from social-conservative dogma. His real fear isn't seeing his positions highlighted - - it's one candidate emerging as the champion of a movement that's looking for a leader.
Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, believes that Giuliani "will have won by showing up, even if most in the room are still unlikely to support him," per the Times' Luo and Bosman. Says Perkins: "He's dehorned by coming," Mr. Perkins said.
Giuliani still looks stronger than he did a few months ago, despite widespread predictions of his demise. All the attention he's getting makes Giuliani ABC's "Buzz Maker of the Week."

The photographer's eye and brain are the important parts - the camera is just a tool. The results are predictable once you've run a roll or two through a new one (I have two and they aren't the same). You just have to know what scene and what lighting will work. And for some reason, Holga shots frequently work well on lith (see gallery here for examples, there are many from others way better than I).
Of course there are pros using Holgas. If we know their names is up to their marketing. Whether a print sells to people other than other photographers is entirely due to the results, not the camera. A buyer doesn't usually say, "I will/won't buy that because they didn't use X camera."
At least one of mine is quite sharp in the middle (or can be), but it's nicely OOF at the edges (barn shot shows it well). And, yes, I have a Hasselblad and I use it for different results.
If you're going to drive off-road, you take the Durango, not the Mustang. When the need for speed kicks in, you want the Mustang. It's all about having the right tool for the job at the right time.

The annual event will begin in a few days, and organizers seem hopeful that despite the economic crisis, the festival will push people to spend.
January 12, 2009 6:46 by kippreport
"With the global financial issues we are having right now, we are working with the retail sector to get even further discounts and make it easier for people to spend," Laila Suhail, the DSF's CEO told The National.
Suhail also said the focus this year will be more on shopping rather than entertainment. The DSF office said that it is also allocating more advertising in countries that were less affected by the financial crisis such as those in the Middle East, Asia and India.
According to reports, hotels participating in the festival will be slashing their rates by 40 to 60 percent during the event, and many will also offer discounted meals to boost occupancy.

First Hare Scramble tomorrow...
well, after tossing the idea around (that means my mind and my body have come to a "tentative" agreement:D ) I am going to participate in my first race tomorrow. I will be riding my little RM125 in the (0-200) beginner class. I honestly have limited dirtbiking experience (12-15 hours total in the last few months) but am not going to let that and common sense get in my way. The course is in central Florida so hills will not be an issue, but several water crossings, bridges,woods, and open pasture will all be vying for a chance to punch my ticket...:huh It seems to be a 8-9 mile loop, and 3 or 4 times around to finish the race. I will be riding on Sat. with the vintage bikes and the Juinors (13-16 yr old on 86-125cc). I'll post a report next week once the percocet's wear off...:lol3
Good luck ! Ride consistent and steady. Completing your first race gives a great boost for the next race !
Have fun Tbone and ride safe. Glad your mind could convince your body to do it. Look forward to the report!
Here are a few vidoes to get your heart pumpiing prior to tomorrow! All Hare Scrambles, 2 of them from florida, and one of them is the 85cc class.
Having just started racing a few months ago, I'll offer a few hints that may save you some pain.
1. Drink about 100oz of water per day for at least 3 days in a row prior to race day. Then wear a camel back during the race and drink when you can. I mix 1 energy drink into the water in my pack, and I count on being able to get the straw to my mouth when I check in on every lap.
2. Best to wear at least one tear off to remove gunk right after the start. Also, treat your goggles with an anti-static spray, so you can wipe the dust off your goggles easlily during the race.
3.The better start you get the less dust you'll have to deal with, but being your first race it't probably best to start slow and avoid the first corner crash.
4. Look as far down the trail as you can, especially when you get tired. I can alsways tell riders who are spent because they are riding 3 feet in front of their fender. IF you can look way down the trail you'll ride twoce as fast and avaoid crashes.
5. If you will need a gas stop duing the race, do it after 1/3 of the race is over, rather than 2/3 over. Not only will you be fresher and able to gas and go quicker, but somehow the 2 minute break in the early part of he race refreshes me a lot more than the 2 minute break late in the race when I am already really tired.
Have fun out there!!!
Thanks for the tips Thorny !!!
I have seen the videos and they have me stoked...I think...:D
I am going to concentrate on relaxing the first few miles. Arm pump and general tension can be a bad thing and burn you out early I hear.
We had a few inches of rain 2 days ago, so track should be perfect ...:ricky
Have fun and be carefull.
few tips and Check lists
Don't worry about winning or being first into the woods. Practice your dead engine starts in 2nd gear (at least 10 times to get the feel) and just cruise to the first turn and let all the other idiots fight for the holeshot. you can't win on the first turn, lap etc. good trick is to watch the starter a few times before it's your turn to start. look for his actions and starting habits. some starter have a routine. some lift thier foot right before they drop the flag, or look up/down, twitch their hand etc. This will help you get a good start.
in the woods/trail:
Stand up as much as possible. (that is untl your legs give out)
Look as far foward down the trail as you can to pick lines and see corners. if you catch yourself looking at your front fender... tell your self to look up and forward.. It's much easier to set up corners and find the best line when you looking down the trail.. Always look where you want to go and never fixate on the danger or hazard. Same thing with ruts.. look towards the end of the rut not at your front wheel.
Take time to pick a good route throught the water crossing. make sure that you have a good exit on the other side. taking 5 seconds to determine your route through a water hole is better than being stuck for 5 orf 10 mins or being soaked for the rest of the race.
Don't follow someone if possible.. Check alternative lines and use those to pass or to see down the trail. If you cant see because of dust, slow down until you can see.
passing and being passed:
IF someone is behind you and pushing you and you begin to feel uncomfortable, just let em by when you get to an opening. point which way you want him to pass you left or right. if someone real fast is coming up on you (10 + mph faster) JUST HOLD YOUR LINE. The faster rider will find a way around you. If he starts hollering at you to move over.. do it. but in a safe place and where you have room. Always keep looking where your going.. and don't look back. word of warning... some riders get a little over zealous when hollering at you to move over with cus words, don't let that bother you.
Plan on stopping on the second lap in the pits for gas, water and just to check your bike out. just take 10 seconds to make sure your good to go to the finish. have an extra set of google and gloves ready in case you need a change.. Keep them in a large zip lock bag so they don't get dirty before you need them. Use a marker to write your riding # on the tank and bags so you can find them. Ask for help in the pits, get your buddy or someone you meet at the race. tell them your intent to pit.
Don't worry about making your bike look like a factory racer with all the bling. forget the new decals, trick racing #s etc. (heck, most of us just screw them up the first wreck we have anyway.)
Make sure your bike is in the best condition as possible.
Change oil
clean air filter
check spokes and tighten and ture.
New or almost new tires front and back,
Use HD inner tubes. with proper PSI in the tires
make sure your chain and sprokets are not worn
check cables and make sure they are lubed, slide easy and are not freyed.
Make sure you have enough gasoline for the ride.
Check and use locktite (blue ) on all the bikes nuts and bolts. do not locktite the screws going into the gas tank's brass inserts because they could be pulled out or stripped.
Don't skimp on the personal protection.
Helmet... most important. make sure it fits well and is less than 2 years old
boots.... make sure they are not wore out and have proper ankle protection
wear, Knee guards, elbow guards and a chest protector.
Wear a camelbak or some sort of drink system. Use 50/50 gatoraide and water mix.
Carbo load tonight with spagetti, or something simular. don't over eat.
Hydrate, Hydrate, hydrate. if your not drinking a gallon of water by tonight your behind. Yep you'll pee a lot but there is nothing wose that dehydrating and bonking during a race.
breakfast.. 2 hours before race.. eat light.. bananas, fruit etc.. eat a few whole grain bagels or cliff bars to get the calories. No junk food or high sugers.
I'm sure there is more... but this is a good start to making sure you have a successful first Hare scrambles.
Wow !!!:eek1 Lots of great information there kenaroo !!!
Thanks for the tips on passing as that part has me a little worried. Don't want to be in anyone's way, but want to be able to pass a few folks too.
bought the rest of my gear yesterday (chest protector, knee pads, I'll get elbow pads today). I am going to use the practice lap to get a feel for the course and my speed through different sections. My goal is just to finish, and we'll work on the last-to-first thing later...
I'm going to write "Relax" and "look forward" on some tape and put it in my handlebar clamp...
This needs to be documented :deal
Tbone, who's on your pit crew?
What time and Where?
Oh Crap! Tomorrow's the first day of my kid's soccer season :cry
Who's gonna get some pics? :clap
Lori (wife) will be helping, and it's down near Myakka city..don't worry, you'll all know what happens ...:cry :clap
Have fun and don't stress over it. HS racing is great fun and very simple. Just ride around and have fun till ya see the checkers. Depending on your bike you might need to make a fuel stop or two. Most folks just stick their can somewhere near the trail pull off and gas themselves up.
have fun
Yeah, I need to "dumb it down a little"...just breath, relax, and finish...:D
here's a couple more pointers for you:
Since you mentioned arm pump, try to find a few points in each lap where you can take one hand at a time off the bars and just open and close your fist a few times. Arm pump is often the result of not enough blood flow to the fore arm. So open and closing the hand will keep blood flowing.
Also, my biggest challenge in races is blisters. Even though I ride a lot, I still get blisters when I race. I found during my last HS that a tighter glove is better than a looser one for preventing blisters. So I went from an XL size to a Large. Also, since it sounds like you'll be racing through water, try to keep your hands dry. When mine get wet I blister faster, so thats when the extra set of gloves comes in really handy. Have a set ready at your gas stop.
Have fun and I'm looking forward to the report.
Great information here!!! :clap
Good luck on your first race. Don't ride over your head, be consistant, and finish your first race be the goal. Let the results fall where they may.
BTW - The dog on that third video was cracking me up.

Don't forget to pop in to see the The Harwich Mayflower Project, a UK & US registered charity aiming to put Harwich back at the heart of the Pilgrim Fathers story. They are building a replica of the ship which sailed to America in 1620 hoping to be ready by 2020 for a 400th anniversary US voyage.
Just to the south of Harwich lies the older town of Dovercourt, which has been settled since prehistoric times. Particular features of the town are the iron lighthouses or 'Leading Lights' which sit along the picturesque Blue Flag beach.
