Kindergartener's art censored by NY school
The child drew a picture of Jesus, complete with beard and flowing robe. And it caused an uproar. A court will decide whether the censorship was appropriate, ChristianPost.com reports.
The child drew a picture of Jesus, complete with beard and flowing robe. And it caused an uproar. A court will decide whether the censorship was appropriate, ChristianPost.com reports.
I would think the big argument here would be, is what the art represents to the child the same interpretation as those that condemned it, thus proof that the "authorities" in this case are operating at a kindergarten level! I guess you would have to look at it both ways, the child could be operating at higher level than the administration!
Another question that comes to mind, " Who is teaching this kid in an effective manner, the school that is supposed to serve him or a Sunday school class where he spends about 1/30th of the amount of time he spends in school? Is censorship a cover for ineffective teaching?
Liberty Counsel first filed the case on behalf of the Syracuse student and his mother in 1999. Ten years later, the case, Peck v. Baldwinsville School District, is on its third appeals hearing
what is really sad is that this has been going on now for 10 years and the child will probably be graduating before the decision is made on whether or not it was wrong.
(and I can only imagine the original masterpiece to be stick figures)
"a cover for ineffective teaching." Great comment perplexed! I'm gonna have my son draw a picture of Mohammed or Buddha just to see what happens.
Frank, I wonder if the word censorship is proper here. This was a class assignment. As the article says:
"Antonio Peck, the student, had drawn a poster with several religious figures with the words, "The only way to save the world," for an art project that had to show understanding about the environment. Antonio meant to express his belief that God is the only way to save the environment, according to his legal representative Liberty Counsel."
So, the assignment was to do a poster about how to save the environment. Now I suppose that one might well believe that only God can help save the environment, just as only YOU can prevent forest fires, but I think the assignment was meant to go to the next step, what people (with or without God's help) would actually do for the environment. And, the article says, the project was meant to demonstrate understanding of the issues.
I suspect the teacher was looking for more practical answers, like reducing driving or recycling more.
So, to me it's not a question of censorship, but one of education. What's the logical extent of this? If a high school student is given an assignment to figure out the area of a square, can he just say that only God knows the TRUE area of the square because human means of measurement are flawed? If the question concerns public policy, can a student just say "God will fix it," and go on, kind of like the Republicans do? While all this might well give the evangelicals warm fuzzies, they don't show much learning or education.
We're graduating students from high school who can barely read, and forget trying to get them to figure anything out for themselves. Their knowledge of mathematics is rudimentary at best, and their knowledge of history is limited to the Hollywood version, if that. And no one is worried about that. But, if one of these brats yells "Jesus," we get ten years of appeals when what the kid should have gotten was some instruction on what the teacher really wanted him to draw.
Caleb, life is bigger than classroom instructions. Let the free flow of thoughts be nourished since kindergarten. It is true that "children is wiser than elders" in many cases, 10 years to resolve an issue.
We should not forget that idea of rational thinking came from religions. Religion is not un-touchable.
Science improves micro level quality of life such as day to day life but science has limitation on macro level involving total knowledge about universe. With the help of "Superpower (Jesus)" along with combined wisdom of people of the earth, could be another way that could save the world. Global warming, destruction by Tsunamis, men/women alone can not stop unless Mother Nature helps. As long science could not deny existence of God, school authority could not through away new idea as rubbish, unless they are biased on non-existence of God.
Well, Julian, that's fine if we want to produce philosophers, but I'd like school to produce people who can actually read and write, and do mathematical calculations. You can talk about God all day, but when you're doing your income taxes, you might want someone who can add numbers. Likewise, you can talk about God's role in global warming all you want to, but unless people get together and stop polluting the atmosphere, we're going to have it in spades. I'd rather let the schools actually educate our children and leave the religion to home and church. I would think that would be what conservatives would want, too, but you never see them say so.
Caleb, my point is that if society sends religion (moral value) to home and to church only and allow sex (immoral) in public is it healthy for society?
It became a taboo now that we can not talk, or display religious related issues in public as sex was in the past. We know that Bishops, priests and all church and other religious leaders who influence our day to day life also came out of kindergarten so do scientists, lawyers, accountants, engineers etc. They also contribute to society as do other professions. But in reality we are influenced by some force who says that it is not OK to talk and display about religion but it is OK to talk and display about sex in the form of expressing love in public. It is misconception about religion. Secularism is not free of religion and religion is not opium as atheist believe.
That's an interesting analysis, Julian, but it doesn't jibe with our laws. Our constitution forbids the entanglement between government and religion. Public schools are, for better or worse, operated by the government. So, it is not proper to teach religion or show a special degree of respect for one religion over another.
So, I've really got two points.
My first point is that the place of school is not to teach religion, it's to teach secular subjects. I understand that members of every profession need a good moral compass, and I don't object to the teaching of morality in schools, but I do object to tying it to Christianity.
My second point is that the schools do a very poor job of teaching the subjects they're supposed to teach: English, math, science, and the like. I think they need to concentrate on learning to teach these subjects better before they start in on religion. Which leads to the next question: Do you really want the state in charge of teaching your children religion? I don't; I'd rather my church and myself and my family do that.
"It became a taboo now that we can not talk, or display religious related issues in public…"
Sorry, JM, but this MUST be corrected. Of course we can talk about religion and display religious artwork in public. The law protects our right to do so, and for that I am very grateful. But the law– our American Constitution– forbids the entanglement of which Caleb speaks. No religious group can hijack government institutions or spend public funds to advance their religion. That seems fair to me. Does it not seem fair to you?
Religious speech is everywhere in the American society. It's not just church signs but also bumper stickers and billboards all over the country. It's not just a few commercials but also radio stations, TV stations, entire broadcasting networks, newspapers, etc. To suggest that religious speech is somehow forbidden, well that's both absurd and untruthful.
True, Jose, and to take it one step further, that freedom to discuss religion in public does apply to the public schools as well. Students are quite free to have Christian groups, read the Bible during their spare time, and wear religious jewelry and clothing. What the school is not free to do is require students to follow or respect any form of religion or religious observance. The reason this particular form of religious expression was rejected was because it was meant to satisfy a class requirement that it didn't satisfy.
We're talking about kids in kindergarten, the ability of these children to comprehend civil law in one of their assignments is the very fact why schools are in the shape their in. The proper format should have been a discussion by the teacher, who was most likely afraid to speak for the fear of being sued by Susie's parents, the teacher should be able to explain to the children why Jesus isn't allowed in the classroom. It should have been a civics lesson at the least. Censoring isn't the solution.
I sense a flaws in our democratic system, Caleb. There is suppression of free flow of idea (freedom of speech) by maintaining strict interpretation of secularism by exclusion of religion philosophy. The way government institutions interpret religion, it seems to treat religion as drug use. People do not want any endorsement by government institution for any sect, religion or Churches. But that does not mean we as an individual can not show cross sign in work place or school. If government institutions prohibit from doing so, it is kind of religious prosecution as do in communism world. A child's idea in saving the planet has been thrown out because of a touch of religion, cheer leaders' cheering slogan taken from religion philosophy has been banned from display, praying by players before game to gain strength banned like drug use etc. etc. These and other incidents indicate, our misinterpretation of secularism attack on personal freedom.
School is to give knowledge of major subjects that we encounter in course of our life to become a good citizen. Beside science, math, and literature, moral value without any doubt is important knowledge to give child from head start. Because Jesus Christ died for you and me for our salvation and teach us to love our neighbor same as ourselves irrespective of color, creed religion we could exclude Christian value from school curriculum without any protest and encourage atheism in the name of secular.
I agree with you about poor performance standard of our school system for facing competitive world for days to come. I also agree with you all that government should be neutral and treat all citizen equally including sexual orientation.
I don't know what Julian's "democratic system" is, but my American republic is doing pretty darned well. Our government not only protects religious speech but it subsidizes organized religion with laws that exempt churches and pastors from a lot of taxes. To call that persecution is awfully silly. To compare our constitutional separation of church and state with the mandated atheism in some Communist governments is nothing short of deceitful.
Julian, the problem is that the kid didn't have an idea to save the planet. He had an idea about getting someone else (Jesus) to save the planet. And that wasn't the assignment. The assignment was to show something that people who can't walk on water and survive crucifixion could do to help save the planet. To me, this isn't a matter of religion, but a matter of competence. The problem wasn't that he drew a picture of Jesus, the problem is that he DIDN'T draw a picture of what he was assigned to draw. I mean, are we going to give everyone a free pass on every academic requirement just because they believe in Jesus?
The suggestion that religion has been excluded from public schools is also ridiculous. As I said earlier, every student has the right to engage in private religious devotions even in school. What the school can't do is require that type of devotion. And western culture, which is still taught at least to some extent in our public school is largely based on traditional Christian values.
Like Jose, I am happy with our secular republic, and if anything, only wish that it were more, not less, secular.
"These and other incidents indicate, our misinterpretation of secularism attack on personal freedom. [sic]"
Let's take a closer look at the claim of victimization. In many cases you will see religious extremists pushing the limits of what is acceptable and legal. Contrary to what Julian implies, it's not that the schools and courthouses are out to erase religion from American society. Rather it is some religious groups that insist on insinuating their faith into government institutions. Perhaps this incident of the kindergartner is different, and the courts will rule that the school overreacted. So be it. However if you consider the many conflicts regarding school prayer, posting of scriptures on government property, and the like, it is clear that these are not innocent citizens who are being harassed for practicing their faith in peace. Rather these folks are spoiling for a fight.
It is inaccurate to equate the forced atheism in some countries with our American law that calls for religious neutrality. To the contrary, state-mandated atheism is much more similar to state-mandated religion. In both cases the government is abusing its power and authority by trying to control the beliefs of its people. Our founders wisely decided to allow the people to choose how to believe and worship. Why do so many Christians despise our American freedom of conscience?
For the second poster, Antonio had children holding hands around the globe, people recycling trash, and children picking up garbage
I think the kid had a pretty good idea of the environment. I am sure his masterpiece of Jesus was only visible after he said who it was. If he had said superman would that have made his poster okay by the teacher's standards?
this was a five year old child at the time, I wonder what the other posters showed?
Caleb, Jose I think we all agree that censorship by school district on a student's viewpoint on a permissible subject matter in response to a school assignment or program was not legitimate, based on 1st amendment, bill of right. Caleb if the student's drawing is not up to the mark of subject matter of assignment, there is grading system A,B,C,D or F at the discretion of class teacher. But she can not fold the center figure of the pupil's viewpoint and display the rest.
Kindergarten's case is not issue of separation of state & church as many think. It is issue of freedom of speech of an individual. The child represents individual viewpoint not the church. Again historical Jesus Christ is not criminal that His picture have to be hidden, will you hide a picture of Greek philosopher Socrates, in a referential diagram? There is no prohibition in the constitution, not to refer Christ in intellectual discussion or well fare of public related matter. For example to bring harmony among diversified culture we could bring teaching of Christ as described in "good Samaritan story" or love your neighbor as yourself; to preserve spirit of law abiding society, and to commemorate a historical milestone in development of civil law, 10 commandments of Moses could be kept in court house, as a historical souvenir.
We must remember secularism is not minus Christianity. Founding fathers knowing power of Judo-Christian God printed the famous believe "In God we trust" in the most valuable "US dollar". The God who separated Red sea by mighty hand. Some citizen may not believe that man set foot on the surface of moon, but they must respect majority believe.
If we can teach safe sex in the school for health, why can we not teach safe moral by religion value for good spirit? As sex is part of life, so do spirit. Man can not live by bread (sex) alone.
You're absolutely right, Jose. This hearkens back to the comment of another reader here, who said that he didn't understand why people thought they needed the power of government to promote their own religion: You'd think if their beliefs were true, they wouldn't need the help of the government to get people to believe them.
And you're right that these are hardly innocent citizens. As Peach suggests, this kid was five years old, and no doubt no more than a pawn in the situation, but the adults who constantly want to put religious images and references into our public buildings don't have that excuse.
And Peach, no, I don't think Superman would have been any more effective. The whole point is that the poster was supposed to show what real people alive today — not historical religious figures OR superheroes — can do to clean up the environment. In many ways, this case is a parable for what's wrong with America: We always seem to think that no matter how badly we screw something up, Jesus or Superman (take your pick) will come in behind us and clean it up. One of the reasons our planet is so polluted today is because everyone has been sitting around waiting for Jesus or Superman to clean it up rather than doing it ourselves.
Caleb, in the mind of a 5 year old, Jesus is alive today.
The problem, perplexed, is that Jesus, alive or dead, is not going to clean up after us. We need to do that ourselves. And the sooner we teach five year olds that, the sooner they will grow up into responsible adults.
And, perplexed, Superman is just as alive as Jesus in the eyes of a five year old.
You hit the nail right on the head Caleb, its about teaching! Teachers in the public school system are afraid to teach and this is what happens when they make a stand, millions of taxpayers dollars wasted, instead of a simple explanation.

Frequently Asked Questions about Recycling, Composting, and Waste
What Should I Do With My Plastic Bags?
About to discard your plastic bag in the recycling bin?
Before you do so, be sure to bundle all your plastic bags and thin plastic wraps together. By doing this, you are making sure that all plastic wraps stay together, clean, and untangled. Many times recycling plants will have to discard plastic bags because they end dirty and tangled by the time they get to the plant making them extremely difficult to process.
At SCU, we want to make sure that everything recyclable ends up recycled. Do your part by bundling all your bags!
Don't know what thin plastic wrap is? It's the plastic film that is used to package many products. Some examples include but are not limited to: dry cleaning bags, Ziplock bags, and shrink wrap. To learn more, click here.

Retirement and medical care benefits in 2008
August 08, 2008
Sixty-one percent of private industry employees had access to paid retirement benefits in March 2008, compared with 89 percent of State and local government employees.
Medical care benefits were available to 71 percent of private industry workers, compared with 87 percent among government workers.
Virtually all full-time employees in State and local government had access to retirement and medical benefits: 99 and 98 percent, respectively. In private industry, only 71 percent of full-time workers had access to retirement benefits and 85 percent to medical care.
These data are from the BLS National Compensation Survey program. Learn more in "Employee Benefits in the United States, March 2008", (PDF) (HTML) USDL 08-1122.

Dr. Emmanuel Zorn
Dr. Zorn's laboratory investigates host-graft interactions following solid organ transplantation in humans with a primary focus on B cells and antibodies in mechanisms of rejection of heart and kidney transplants. Specific avenues of research:
Role of B cells infiltrating heart transplants during cardiac allografts vasculopathy
B cell infiltrates are often observed in solid organ grafts during chronic and acute rejection, yet their function is still unclear. Our studies use cardiac allografts explanted because of rejection to isolate infiltrating B cells and determine their contribution to the rejection mechanism.
Mechanisms of chronic antibody mediated rejection of kidney allografts
Chronic humoral rejection (CHR) is one of the leading causes of late graft loss. The etiology of CHR is currently unknown. Our multicenter study uses samples collected from kidney transplant recipients at our institution as well as at collaborating centers in the USA and Europe to identify immune markers associated with CHR and piece together the causal chain leading to this complication.
Role of Natural Antibodies in host responses to solid organ grafts
Natural antibodies are broadly reactive serum immunoglobulins implicated in apoptotic cell clearance. Their contribution to inflammatory reactions associated with graft tissue destruction has not been examined. In our studies we investigate the function of these natural antibodies in acute and chronic rejection as well as in mechanisms of ischemia reperfusion injury.

"DDD" is currently filming its fifth season in Atlanta, Ga.
Update: On Thursday, Lifetime revealed that Season 5, which will consist of 13 episodes, will premiere on June 23 at 9 PM ET/PT.

Shrinks are supposed to possess an uncanny insight into the human mind, but that doesn't stop them from being trainwrecks themselves much of the time. Perhaps it's the fact that they supposedly possess this great gift that enables their smugness, or maybe it's just that Tom Cruise was right and the whole thing is a fallacy.
Either way, shrinks from TV and movies can grate on an audience's nerves like few other depicted professions. It must be all that talking. Always with the talking.
While it's easy to claim that Melfi's presence, while not exciting, served as a sort of moral compass to a show that lacked one in most every other arena.
That's all well and good, but that doesn't make her character suck any less. She played something of a robotic character, serving as a stone cold judging machine while every other character existed as impassioned people striking out to serve their own interests.
Her flat, flirtatious relationship with Tony Soprano was an interesting device, but wasn't much to watch. She was an alcoholic with an annoying voice, which makes her similar to most every other character on the show, but with much less violence and far fewer malapropisms.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but there's dysentery in the ranks.
The sensational author of the life-changing book Baby Steps makes Frasier Crane look like a fun, vibrant individual. He named his kids Siggy and Anna in a nod to Sigmund Freud, and that's not even the most obnoxious thing he does.
His dumb bucket hat, sandals and socks, and the vacation house at Lake Winnepisaukee are all strikes against him, but the real tipping point is when he tried to tie Bob to a tree and blow him up with dynamite. That's just terrible behavior.
He's a sourpuss surrounded by a lovable family, and he doesn't manage to appreciate the walking wonder that is Bob. It's hard to tell where the smugness of Richard Dreyfuss stops and the smugness of the character starts, but I guess that's just the result of good casting.
Frasier is perhaps the least masculine man this side of professional ice skating. I'm guessing that because his brother is the same way, it's genetic, but we're not here to look at reasons why these shrinks suck so much, but just whether or not they do.
And he does. His world revolves around Alaskan salmon, free trade espresso, and wine vintages, so it's not like he's a grounded guy. He's not malicious by any stretch, but he's so prissy it's almost hard to think he's of this world.
All his enjoyment seems to exist in a smug, smug place that revolves around smirks far more than laughter. And he hangs out with women named "Roz" and "Daphne," which leads me to believe that he might be a character in Scooby-Doo.
Finally, he sings his own theme song, and it's terrible. TERRIBLE.
Tobias Funke is so terrible that he goes all the way around to being awesome again. He was one of the most respected shrinks in the Boston area until he decided to move to California to try his hand at acting. Unfortunately, he moved to Newport Beach, which is not all that close to Hollywood.
Also, Dr. Funke is perhaps the biggest moron ever to grace a television screen. He cannot please his wife, on account of the fact that he's a raging homosexual, he can't accept a hair transplant, and most of his acting credits are along the lines of "Frightened Inmate #2," a role for which he constantly recited the line, "I ain't going to squeal, man."
Basically, all the reasons that Tobias Funke is terrible have almost nothing to do with the fact that he's a psychiatrist. In fact, he seemed to be a pretty esteemed one. But he wasn't nearly as hilarious as when he was a struggling (read: failing) actor.
We get it, Sean. You're damaged. You're soft-spoken until you are pushed too far. You can bench press more than Matt Damon can. And, like Matt Damon, you are a little overqualified for your station in life.
He's a great shrink, it would seem, but he's a little Robin Williams-y, which is to be expected when you're a character played by Robin Williams. Granted, he doesn't break into any stupid voices like "gay man," or "black man," but he's so soft-spoken that it makes you think he's going to kidnap you in his basement.
I never thought I would say this, but maybe Robin Williams could have played him with more gusto.
Wow. That sounds weird.
Consider posting a comment.

I recently saw another "Coexist" bumper sticker. The car had an Obama/Biden sticker, also. The news from France and around the world proves that Muslims do not believe, teach or practice this motto.
The driver of that car has deceived herself by any attempt to believe that motto. That person has placed herself at a severe disadvantage with the Muslims. She believes something that is not true and will not happen. It is the feeling that matters.
A friend of mine from South Dakota noted that the U.S. Postal Service delivered a lump of coal to many small towns last Christmas when it proceeded to eliminate overnight mail in most of the nation in 2015. That was a good description.
USPS will slow delivery officially by one day for first-class and periodicals mail. Many members of Congress have asked it to hold off. But USPS is plowing ahead.
It is time for lawmakers to consider how rural and small town mail is suffering.
This is my first letter of the new year and my New Year's wish didn't come true. I wished that all liberals would be sent to an island up near Greenland, where they could sit around a campfire and blame former President George W. Bush for all that is wrong in their lives. Well, maybe next year.
Journalists did not need the atrocity of the attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris to know that ours is a risky business. But it has made the rest of the world aware of the price of exercising free speech.
As a small boy in the 1950s, I lived in a very small world; and that world was ruled by people twice my size. Other than the farm, I knew Kershaw, Heath Springs; and I went to Lancaster once to see a tooth doctor. That's a whole nother story. The best thing about Lancaster was Macs Hamburgers on Main.

Officer-involved shootings in Ferguson, Mo. and other cities further illustrate why autopsy reports should be made available to the public, according to state lawmakers and open government experts.
Now a bill prefiled in the State Senate could make that a reality.
Senate Bill 10 amends the S.C. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to specifically make autopsy reports public information.
The S.C. Supreme Court issued a momentous decision Nov. 12. In a case that's been going on for years, three out of five justices ruled that the state has failed to meet its constitutionally required obligation to provide a "minimally adequate" education to students in eight suing school districts.
As a result, the court has ordered both the plaintiff districts and the defendants (representatives of the state) to reappear before the court and present a plan to address the constitutional violation. The resulting plan will have to be approved by the court.
Ever so often you feature on your opinion page views from political party stalwarts pointing out the errors of the other party.
I recently read another article dealing with problems in our postal system. Seems Congress has taken Mr. Ben Franklin's dream and darn near drove it in the ground. They have a bunch of folks called governors who ain't up to full force making a whole lot of poor choices on how to run a post office business.
This is the time for New Year's resolutions and I have a few for our state.
But first, some interesting, though not terribly surprising, poll results: Most of us make resolutions and we are really bad about sticking to them.
A recent University of Scranton poll says that 45 percent of us usually make a New Year's resolution and another 17 percent occasionally do. The rest of us, 38 percent, don't even bother.
The tale told here portrays a conversion-instilling vision. Namely, that a parent can really give a child only two things – "roots and wings."*
The grace of these gifts becomes evident in the story that molds the child. The intriguing providence, so striking in the telling, teaches a harsh wisdom, suspended between irony and tragedy.
Such is the case involving world-renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Rocco Armonda, whose exciting career culminates at the acme of discovering a new healing "construct."

Tourism in Slovakia
Welcome to a marvellous land of national parks, mountains, valleys, forests and rivers …
… to castles, churches and ruins…
… to mysterious underground caves …
… and to a rich variety of accommodations, eating facilities and recreational support to help you enjoy them.
Welcome to Slovakia!
Things to do in Slovakia
Most people spend their free time in Slovakia on one of three activities: outdoor recreation, arts and culture, and architectural sightseeing. All age groups enjoy all three of these at many different levels - and, at the top level, Slovakia can compare with the best in Europe and the world.
Arts and culture
Arts and culture centre in the capital city of Bratislava, but locals and visitors alike enjoy performances and galleries in even the smallest of towns.
Performance of traditional folk music is especially abundant. Many towns and cities have their own theatre companies and classical music concerts. Dance, especially ballet, and opera are generally found only in the largest cities, and this is also the case with jazz and other live music. Musical theatre performances and ballet and opera companies are based in the two largest cities, Bratislava and Kosice.
Graphic arts are of course displayed in a number of museums, the largest being the National Gallery in Bratislava. Often, though, the most interesting work appears in Slovakia's many private galleries and other exhibition spaces.
Slovakia's geographical position between two superpowers of the middle ages, Austro-Hungarian and Russian, has left its mark plainly in its historical architecture. Of the two, the traditions of Germanic Austria-Hungary dominate, often tied to the Roman Catholic faith with some hints of Protestantism. However, especially in the east, the Orthodox Christian religion of Russia and other eastern European cultures play a role in the architectural landscape.
Most towns have historic churches, and many of these have features of special signicance. For those seeking a truly eastern European experience, the centuries-old, still-functioning wooden churches of northeastern Slovakia are one of the country's greatest treasures, though they are hard to reach.
The other significant historical influence came from Slovakia's role as an essentially underling nation for centuries. Wealth never accumulated here as it did in nearby centres such as Vienna, Prague, Budapest, Krakow or even Kiev. Therefore the ornate "old town" sections of Slovak cities are more compact, though no less beautiful - in fact, many travellers find sightseeing more digestible in Slovakia, as the ornamentation is not so overwhelming.
For a quick but memorable architectural experience, check out almost any town square. Some of them (such as Bardejov and Banska Stiavnica) have UNESCO cultural heritage certification and big reputations, but most old town squares have some unique and well-restored aspects of beauty.
Slovak castles and ruins
Castles can be divided into those which have been restored, and those which have fallen into ruin. Every region of the country offers some of each. Restored castles, some of which were never fortified and therefore are in fact palaces, offer a glimpse of how the wealthy lived. Castle ruins are more interesting for those with explorer spirits, in part because they usually require significant walking or gentle climging; they have deliciously eerie atmosphere.

The Sarah Jane Adventures. The Sarah Jane Adventures — often abbreviated as simply SJA — was a spin-off series of Doctor Who, produced by BBC Wales for CBBC.
It ran from 2007 to 2011, over the course of five series. All stories except for the the initial one were presented in a serial format, with each serial being comprised of two, 25-minute episodes. Created by Russell T Davies after a positive experience working with Elisabeth Sladen on the Doctor Who episode School Reunion, it concerned itself with Sarah Jane's life after her initial encounter with the Tenth Doctor.
The Sarah Jane Adventures. The Sarah Jane Adventures. The Sarah Jane Adventures is a British science fiction television programme, produced by BBC Cymru Wales for CBBC, created by Russell T Davies and starring Elisabeth Sladen.
The programme is a spin-off of the long-running BBC science fiction programme Doctor Who and focuses on the adventures of Sarah Jane Smith, a middle-aged investigative journalist who, in her youth, had numerous adventures across time and space. The series debuted on BBC One with a 60-minute special, "Invasion of the Bane", on 1 January 2007, and broadcast through to 2011. It was nominated for a British Academy Children's Award in 2008 in the Drama category, and for a BAFTA Cymru in 2009 in the Children's Drama category.[1][2] The programme won a Royal Television Society 2010 award for Best Children's Drama.[3] Series[edit]

China to export yuan to BRICS
Posted By kurtnimmo On March 9, 2012 @ 12:11 pm In Global Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
March 9, 2012
China is reportedly to begin extending loans in yuan to BRICS countries in another step towards internationalizing the national currency and diversifying from the US dollar.
The Chinese Development Bank wants to sign a memorandum of understanding with the country's partners from BRICS group of developing countries on increasing yuan-denominated loans, while partners increase loans in their national currencies, The Financial Times reports, citing people familiar with the talks.
The move aims to increase trade volumes between the five nations and diversify from using the US dollar.
Brazil and South Africa were quick to react to the proposal, saying they expect the lending pledge to be included into a master agreement to be signed in New Delhi on March 29.

Looking for something longer? Try the Yurrebilla Trail. The trail links Belair National Park to Black Creek
Conservation Park and the views are spectacular. The start is near Adelaide and you'll find accommodation, cafés and hotels along the way. There are also plenty of wineries, galleries and towns.

It passes The Cedars, (former home of famous artist, Sir Hans Heysen), Bridgewater Mill and Mount Lofty Summit. Camp on the trail or find accommodation nearby. The trail also has some shorter walks, ideal for people of all ages and abilities.
Visit Lobethal, Birdwood and the world famous Barossa if you have time. Keep your camera handy. Native eucalyptus trees line the trail and there's plenty of scenery to photograph. The trail is open all year.

Plaintiffs in gay marriage case wed in SF, LA
Jeff Zarrillo, left, and Paul Katami are married by Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, center, Friday June 28, 2013 at City Hall in Los Angeles. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a brief order Friday afternoon dissolving, "effective immediately," a stay it imposed on gay marriages while the lawsuit challenging the ban advanced through the court. (AP Photo/Damian Dovarganes)
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The four plaintiffs in the U.S. Supreme Court case that overturned California's same-sex marriage ban tied the knot Friday, just hours after a federal appeals court freed gay couples to obtain marriage licenses in the state for the first time in 4 1/2 years.
Attorney General Kamala Harris presided at the San Francisco City Hall wedding of Kris Perry and Sandy Stier as hundreds of supporters looked on and cheered. The couple sued to overturn the state's voter-approved gay marriage ban along with Paul Katami and Jeff Zarrillo, who married at Los Angeles City Hall 90 minutes later with Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa presiding.
"By joining the case against Proposition 8, they represented thousands of couples like themselves in their fight for marriage equality," Harris said during Stier and Perry's brief ceremony. "Through the ups and downs, the struggles and the triumphs, they came out victorious."
Harris declared Perry, 48, and Stier, 50, "spouses for life," but during their vows, the Berkeley couple took each other as "lawfully wedded Login to read more

Colwall is a village and civil parish in Herefordshire, England on the border with Worcestershire, nestling into the side of the Malvern Hills. Areas of the village are known as Colwall Stone, Upper Colwall and Colwall Green along over a mile of the B4218 road. A feature of Colwall is the view of the Iron Age British Camp (Herefordshire Beacon), which forms part of the Malvern Hills. Although neither administered by the nearby town of Malvern nor the Malvern Hills District, Colwall is often included in the informal region referred to as The Malverns for the hills, and the towns and villages that surround them.
With its main focus on cricket, Colwall is a sporting village and contains the largest cricket ground in Herefordshire. In 1926 the Women's Cricket Association was founded in Colwall, and a Women's Cricket Week is held there every year. The Horton brothers Joseph and Henry, came from Colwall.[citation needed] and both played first-class cricket for Worcestershire. Henry went to greater fame with Hampshire.
Malvern water[edit]
Malvern water has formed a part of the national heritage and culture since Queen Elizabeth I made a point of drinking it in public in the 16th century, and Queen Victoria refused to travel without it.[1] It was mentioned in 1622 in Bannister's Breviary of the Eyes:[2]
|A little more I'll of their curing tell.
How they helped sore eyes with a new found well.
Great speech of Malvern Hills was late reported
Unto which spring people in troops resorted.
It was first bottled on a commercial scale in 1851 and sold as Malvern Soda and then as Malvern Seltzer Water from 1856. In 1890, Schweppes entered into a contract with a Colwall family, and built a bottling plant in 1892. The actual source of the spring is on the western side of the hills in Herefordshire. The factory is now owned by Coca-Cola & Schweppes Beverages[3] and employs 25 people who bottle 12 million litres annually.
..."The Malvern water says Dr John Wall is famous for containing just nothing at all"...![4] In 1987 Malvern gained recognition as a Natural Mineral Water, a mark of purity and quality. Malvern Water is the only bottled water used by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, which she takes on her travels around the world.[5]
On 21 October 2010, Coca-Cola announced that Malvern Water would cease production and the Colwall plant would be sold off to property developers. Coca-Cola said it will try to find roles for the 17 people working at the factory but they may face redundancy. The plant will be closed after 150 years, after Malvern Water was priced out of the market, with a market share of just 1%. Coca-Cola put this down to the size of the Colwall plant saying that it cannot produce enough water.
The village is served by a single platform railway station on the single track line between Great Malvern and Ledbury railway station at Ledbury, which passes through the Colwall Tunnels, the first of which was dug under the Malvern Hills between 1856 and 1860. Near to the station is the mock Georgian, country house style Colwall Park Hotel, purpose built in 1905 to serve the now defunct Colwall Horse Racecourse. Colwall has a state primary school, and two independent preparatory schools in the village, The Downs, Malvern College Prep. and The Elms, founded in 1614.
Colwall has expanded in the past ten years with the development of "Pedler's Field" and other parts of the village,[citation needed] and has a grocery shop, a fruit & veg shop, a butcher's shop, a chemist, an estate agent, a cake shop, several pubs, churches, and a post office.
Popular culture[edit]
Legend has it that the Colwall Stone was rolled down from the Malvern Hills by a giant whose footprint can be seen to this day on the slopes of the British Camp. The stone was replaced at some point. It took a horse and cart to take the old one away.[6]

out of 7 user reviews
Version: LaunchBar 5.0 beta 2
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
It is a good tool for launching your programs.
The interface is looking very easy. It gives the user very easy total freedom to launch programs.
An useful tool.
"Can't live without it."
Version: LaunchBar 4.3.7
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I am so used to LaunchBar that I try to type application names on other computers that don't have it installed, and can't figure out why it's not working. This is a great application that just keeps getting faster. I don't need most of the fancy functions, but it's nice to know that they are there. As some have pointed out, Spotlight functions in a similar manner. However, it is not as quick, not as accurate, and does not allow for custom items or pruning of items. I can't use my Mac without LaunchBar.
"LaunchBar and Spotlight Are Not Competitors"
Version: LaunchBar 4.3.7
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I don't agree with thebroz's criticisms. Sure, Spotlight is nice. It's come a really long way and certainly plays an important role in Mac OS X. I use it all the time. But if you think it obsoletes LaunchBar, you're missing the point and probably haven't fully explored what LaunchBar can do.
First off, Spotlight and LaunchBar are not competitors, they're complimentary. Despite some overlap, they're really designed to do very different things. While Spotlight excels at full-content searches of your entire hard drive, LaunchBar excels at adaptable, name-based, abbreviation searches and manipulation of your most frequently-used items.
As for not finding the built-in scripts, have you looked in LaunchBar's Configuration window? They're all listed in there.
I've been using LaunchBar for a couple years now and love its stability, reliability, unobtrusiveness, and versatility. It's a key component in my workflow (along with Spotlight).
"Can't/Won't Go On Without This..."
Version: LaunchBar 4.3.5
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
When this latest update came out today, I realized for the first time for just how long I'd been using LaunchBar -- and how integrated into and essential to my computering it had become.
My config uses the default Command-Space combo (with Spotlight's shortcut turned off) and whatever I need -- whether it's an application, a contact (or just certain info from a contact, like their number) or a bookmark, LaunchBar is completely indispensable.
I know there are alternatives out there -- like QuickSilver (and, I think, Butler) -- and every once in a while I'll turn off LaunchBar and try their latest. I've always come back to LB after feeling like the others were either sluggish (especially on old(er) computers) or just over-the-top.
LaunchBar feels like Spotlight Plus; it's a natural fit to the OS and it makes getting around on the computer and getting things done so much easier... and faster.
If I sound like an evangelist, I guess maybe I am -- it's been six or seven years (holy crap) that I've been Launching Bars left and right... and I couldn't be happier.
Never actually left a comment before... thought it was about time.
Version: LaunchBar 4.3.5
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
A very simple tool that is hard to live with once you've used it for a while. Highly recommended. Has never crashed on me.
"A must-have"
Version: LaunchBar 4.3.4
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I think this was the first shareware program I bought when I purchased an ibook and installed OS X a few years ago. Since then, it's set to open at log in so it's always available. I've gotten so used to it being there, I'm feel at a loss when using a machine without it. There is a massive amount of different things that can be opened with LaunchBar--I probably use 5% of its total capability. I think any power user would love this program.
"One of the most indispensable apps on my Mac!"
Version: LaunchBar 4.3.5
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
There is nothing can touch LaunchBar for its power and ease of use. I've tried all of them (Quicksilver, Butler, Dragthing, etc.) but LB has never left my Doc.
The best at what it does - PERIOD.
"Keeps Getting Better"
Version: LaunchBar 4.3.4
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I've used LaunchBar for a couple years now, taking a few breaks along the way to try out the competition. But I always come back to LaunchBar. Others may have even more features, but LaunchBar does nearly as much and with a much greater degree of elegance and simplicity. It's proven to be a rock-solid, reliable companion on my MacBook Pro. I love it.
"Excellent App"
Version: LaunchBar 4.3.4
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I have used LaunchBar for years, and I could not use my mac without it. It allows me to work much faster. I tried Quicksilver, but, I feel LaunchBar is the better product. I would pay for this over and over again, nothing beats it.
"By far the best!"
Version: LaunchBar 4.3.4
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This baby rocks! Regardless if you're not solely sold on the idea of mainly using your keyboard to launch apps, run scripts, etc., this application has so much usefulness it's not funny.
And if you do prefer mouse clicks, having this alongside gives you the best of both worlds.
This is by far my favorite mac tool. Buy it, you won't regret it!

Viral Video Photographer Files Complaint, Attorney Says There's No Case
Today, On Your Side learned Gavin Seim, the man who shot the video, has filed a complaint with Boise Police Department.
In his complaint, Gavin says:
"[Police Officer] Sperry assaulted me in taking hold of my arm…Her behavior crossed from unprofessional to criminal."
On Your Side sat down with attorney Joe Filicetti and reviewed the video. He says Officer Sperry was within her rights to grab Gavin.
"A lot of police officers get shot because people have their hands in their pockets and they pull out a gun and they shoot or they pull out a knife and they cut," said Filicetti. "So she's right to be able to see his hands. That's a normal police officer safety technique."
Gavin declined to show his I.D. to Sperry - something he is well within his rights to do.
But Filicetti says Gavin doesn't have the right to stand where he was if Sperry was feeling threatened by his presence.
"She's telling him I can't do this and watch this traffic stop and have you in this place, move over here," said Filicetti. "He's not moving. She says get your hands out of your pockets he keeps not complying. She could have arrested him at that point."
Gavin has not said whether he will take this issue to court.
According to a statement by Chief Mike Masterson, Boise PD is conducting an internal investigation concerning the incident.

Down Boy
White Terrier, 1991 by Jeff Koons, multiple collections.
In 2000 Koons carried this image of the terrier to a huge scale when he created a giant floral version of the dog in Rockefeller Center. His work is always controversial and often outrageous, just as he intends it to be.
