Crestwood Local Schools to Lose $1.75 Million per Year of State Funding
MANTUA, Ohio (April 28, 2011) -- This is a challenging time for school districts across the State of Ohio and Crestwood is no exception. Proposed state budget reductions and the loss of federal stimulus monies have left the district searching for a way to offset $1.75 million in lost funds for each of the next two years. Crestwood's yearly revenue (state, local, and federal) has typically been about $20 million per year.
"There are still some looming questions, such as what the final approved state budget will look like in July, as well as how significant the reductions in special education and Title 1 funding will be," said Joe Iacano, Crestwood Local Schools Superintendent. "Combined with a smaller student body, new legislation and further proposed reductions in federal funding in the areas of special services, we will continue to make necessary, but very difficult, decisions."
According to Iacano, some reductions in state funding were anticipated, but the reductions went beyond what most districts anticipated. The reductions to the district are too significant to absorb without making changes to all areas of operations including curriculum and instruction, service contracts, personnel and miscellaneous operating expenses.
"As a result of the budget cuts, the district does not anticipate the complete loss of any program or service but will see reduction in personnel and educational opportunities," said Iacano. "The Board of Education has approved a Reduction in Staff (RIS) of eight teaching positions, and I will soon be recommending the net reduction of two administrative positions through attrition and consolidation of duties. We may also see some small reductions for classified, non-teaching, staff as well."
As a result of the reductions, the exploratory Spanish course will no longer be offered at the middle school, students and families may see less field trips, more user fees, and higher student-teacher ratios in some classes at the middle and the high schools.
Despite years of proactive reductions and responsible management of the budget, the significant loss of revenue requires the district to make these decisions. Today, the district remains fiscally stable because the district has built up cash reserves through proactive cost reduction measures during the past several years. However, according to Carol Corbett, Treasurer/CFO, the district anticipates a deficit by July 2013 unless there are more reductions or there is an increase in local and/or state funding.
"It is unlikely we will be able to cut our way out of a future deficit without making significant sacrifices to curricular and extracurricular offerings," said Iacano. "We will continue to make a genuine effort to postpone local levies until there is no other choice. The uncertain future of school funding in Ohio, however, may mean we have to consider local funding options earlier than we planned."

The Truth about Dog Ownership
What I like about having dogs instead of children is that I can crate and leash them without social services showing up at my door. A treat or a raw bone solves any issue. When they grow up dogs don't need a college education paid for and afterwards they do not show up to live at home again rent free while writing a tell all book about me that becomes a best seller at the expense of ruining my reputation. No. With a dog I can post goofy shots to Blipfoto and who is going to tell India I did it :-) Not you!
Silly dog!

Press Release
Arianespace to launch ViaSat-1
Washington D.C., December 4, 2008
Jean-Yves Le Gall, Chairman and CEO of Arianespace, and Mark Dankberg, Chairman and CEO of ViaSat Inc., announced today in Washington, D.C. that they have signed the launch Service & Solutions contract for the ViaSat-1 satellite.
ViaSat-1, a high-capacity Ka-band spot beam satellite, is scheduled for launch by an Ariane 5 during the first half of 2011 from the Guiana Space Center, Europe's Spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
ViaSat-1 will be dedicated to providing broadband Internet media services to consumers and businesses over North America. With a capacity estimated at 100 Gbps, ViaSat-1 is expected to be (at launch) the highest capacity satellite in the world. Built by Space Systems/Loral in Palo Alto, California, the satellite is expected to weigh approximately 6,000 kg. at launch.
This is the 86th launch contract won by Arianespace in the United States.
"Winning this contract from ViaSat confirms our ability to deliver top-quality launch services," said Arianespace Chairman and CEO Jean-Yves Le Gall. "Arianespace is proud of our contribution to ViaSat's pioneering role in the deployment of new broadband services."
"The track record of Arianespace clearly shows how well they understand the importance of each launch and how to execute the very detailed and demanding schedules of these missions," said Mark Dankberg, Chairman and CEO of ViaSat. "We are seeing a lot of anticipation in the marketplace for ViaSat-1, which is designed to deliver more capacity and a lower cost per bit than any satellite before."

1953-04-24 Jimmy Carter w rsc 4 (15) Tommy Collins, The Garden, Boston, Massachusetts, USA - WORLD
1953-04-24 Jimmy Carter w rsc 4 (15) Tommy Collins, The Garden, Boston, Massachusetts, USA - WORLD. Referee: Tommy Rawson. After two rounds of skilful boxing it was ominous that Carter (134¼) was merely sizing up Collins (133¾) and in the third when he began to blast home punches from both hands to head and body the latter was sent crashing seven times in all before being allowed to answer the bell to start the fourth in a helpless state. With his left eye badly damaged and hardly able to stand, Collins bravely stepped up to the plate until having been relentlessly chopped down a further three more times the referee decided to bring the fight to a halt on the 2.28 mark. He was already counting over Collins for the tenth time when the latter's seconds jumped into the ring and it was only their action that caused the count to stop when it did.

Mount Oliver grocer pleads guilty to food stamp fraudApril 16, 2014 4:58 PM
Share with others:
A man who ran the Dollar Grocery Center in Mount Oliver pleaded guilty today to wire fraud and food stamp fraud.
Emile Bizimungu, 32, got USDA approval to accept food stamp cards in August 2011. Starting a month later, according to the indictment against him, he began trading benefits for cash, then billing the government as if they were spent on food. The total reached more than $40,000, according to the charges.
He faces sentencing Aug. 11 before U.S. District Judge Gustave Diamond.
Mr. Bizimungu was one of numerous small shopkeepers charged in a push to prosecute and deter food stamp fraud.

The A-hole's Guide To Winning Your Fantasy Draft
The A-hole's Guide To
Winning Your Fantasy Draft
Page 2 of 2After every pick of his, chuckle quietly. Since he will no doubt be expecting unanimous praise for his selection, your chuckle will be unnerving. Or make a comment that you can't believe he took Player X over Player Y. After 10 rounds of that, he'll be so frazzled that he'll start second-guess himself and lose all of the gusto he came in with. Advantage: you.
Make every selection an eventMaking your selection can be the best way to psych out your opponents. They need to feel like every single pick you make is leading you one step closer to the championship. After the person before you picks, jump up and go: "Oh my gosh! I can't believe you didn't pick Player X! Wow! I thought there was no way you would pass him up!" and then pick that player, continuing to express your amazement that he's now on your team.
Another way is to carefully scan the available players left, use almost all of your allotted time, then go: "Wait a minute, is Player Y left? Are you kidding me? How in the world did you all miss him?" Then pick that player. Basically, every pick of yours will be the best move you could possibly make. There's no "I guess I'll take this guy," or "I'll take him, but I'm not happy about it." It's all good news, all the time.

Lima Bean
Description: Lima beans are often called butterpeas and butterbeans (depending on size) for good reason. Fresh harvested home grown lima beans are not the same horror of childhood. They are rich and creamy with just the right toothsomeness, and even better with a bit of real butter. Unlike many other beans, these germinate and set pods in hot weather, which only gives one more reason for the southern love affair with this bean. Harvest when the beans are young and tender for fresh shelling, or let dry on the plant for storage. Nutrients: Protein, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin C and Manganese.

Well chapters officially out at mangapanda/mangareader!
So check it out, pretty interesting this week!
What, ok? Best chapter in a long while. That spread on last page is epic.
7/10 chapter. ı didn't get the latest two panels though. what is the wind cutting tehcnique and who is the one dong it.
Well the start of this chapter was terribly anticlimactic. All of that build up last week and this week the Juubi simply flicks away everyone. The translation on the last two pages didn't make much sense. I'm sure that will get hashed out though. And i guess all thats left now is for "he who shall not be named" to arrive to the party.
Great chapter. I don't think I'd fully appreciated the size of the Jyuubi before this chapter. Although, I don't get why Kakashi's ability was upped so much just to have it's effort casually flicked away. The arrival of the rookies had long been awaited, and they brought along the entire army with them. It seems the battle has changed to Jyuubi v The Shinobi World, things should get interesting from here on. I'm curious to see what Naruto's new technique is. Everything pretty much worked in this chapter. Looking forward to next week.
well .... it was good chapter ... but if Naruto could shot his mouth , then it would be better .... although , Obito talk so much as well ...
This was actually a good chapter, I'm curious about the jutsu tho... Could this technique be that jutsu?? The jutsu that naruto was passed down to complete by minato??
i didn't get the Jutsu ? really i didn't get it? i read it as wind cutter jutsu ? so this can make allies invisible in thin air? it can make allies teleport in thin air? or the last word naruto saying is Team work is the best jutsu invented in the shinobi world?
Gonna have to wait for Mangastream's version, the translation in the last page seems really odd. For one they have Naruto saying ''no jutsu'' twice...and could he really have developed such a strong jutsu? Oh, and if Naruto really does have this new ubber technique....we're gonna need to know some specifics about his magical training with Bee in the Turtle Island...or maybe he found DBZ's hyperbolic time chamber somewhere. So far he gained control of his original Rikudo Cloak chakra arms, then he got a hand-full of Rasengan variants...now this?
wow, talk about an awesome chapter :D...
i too didn't appreciate the size of the jyubi before... the way he flicked the dama like it was nothing is epic ( expected but epic nonetheless ) .
the jyuubi once faced by the creator of the ninja world stands now in front of his descendents and followers and the world he created.... wonderful
"You'll become like me one day"- Obito.
No Obito...not even Naruto's stupid enough to become like you. He's already gone through much much much much much more than you ever have and he hasn't become like you.
Besides which, he isn't an Uchiha. That automatically exempts him from becoming like you, from birth.
Why is this....thing (Obito) still alive? Damn it Kishi, just kill him already. He's a soggy, sad, mess of a joke that's begging to be shot in the head out of kindness.
Actually now that I look maybe the guys with the fans in the background are doing the jutsu, but that then ask the question how does naruto know about it? So this just might be narutos jutsu
PS: The name of the jutsu of the last page is clearly Friendship-no-Jutsu.

Have you heard of the Sybian?

After hearing them constantly raving about it I decided to get one for myself and see if it lived up to its reputation. One of my girlfriends swears that it's even better than a real man. I'm not so sure about that but she did make a good point about it being hard 24 hours a day 7 days a week no matter how long or.....

Today's "Bad Super Costumes" entry comes to us via "Steve Does Comics", and features Legion of Super-Heroes villain "Adam Orion":
I suppose he could remind Bouncing Boy of Otto Orion. Or maybe its because he resembles the filthy love spawn of Harley Quinn and Kraven the Hunter. By way of Nick Fury. Seriously, I'm trying to imagine a scenario where pink pig tails and an eye patch are a good combination, but I'm drawing a blank.
But perhaps I'm being unfair. Maybe when push comes to shove, Adam Orion is a certified, card-carrying member of the Bad-Ass Club. Let's see him in context to give him a fair shake:
I believe I speak for all of HeroMachine Nation when I say, for the love of all that's holy do NOT show me what happens as soon as those gravatar boots are strapped on. I don't want to see the results of a pig-tail-sporting, zebra-print go-go boots and leopard print bustier wearing hunter (hunter! as in camouflaged!) whose big weapon is neon pink finally getting to interact with the flesh and blood model on whom his Real Doll was built. I really, really don't.
Look, if you're a pink-weapon-toting, pig-tailed and eye-patched man running around in animal-skin corsets, I think it's probably time to reevaluate your priorities, particularly when your arch rival is Bouncing Boy. Bouncing Boy. A guy whose powers are indistinguishable from a beach ball. Imagine Bouncing Boy is at a baseball game, and someone picks him up and starts throwing him around, batting his blue-clad butt around the stadium until he ultimately lands on the field and has to be hustled off by an embarrassed groundskeeper.
That's your prey.
Maybe horrible fashion sense isn't this guy's worst problem after all.

Without any reference to my liking to dinosaurs, this book deserves the attention of many people, since its author is none other than Greg Bear, primarily known as a writer of hard science fiction (Blood Music) – furthermore, the leading characters are every bit as much interesting fellows.
The keynote on which Bear opens up his novel Dinosaur Summer (first published in 1998) is that Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle was based on real events. He places the plot in an alternative past, the summer of 1947, thirty years after professor Challenger's find: so the book is simultaneously a sequel of AND an homage to Conan Doyle's story. And to a lot of other people as well…
Two central characters of the story are photographer Anthony Belzoni (divorcee, bringing up his son on his own, struggling with problems both in his private and his professional life, in a more and more desperate financial situation) and his teenage son, Peter. Their life is rather shuffled, they move a lot; the father is still afore intemperance but well beyond bohemianism. In the meantime the Public has lost all interest in the great Challenger's once front-page discovery, dinosaur shows are in the red, and the director of the last dino circus is preparing to return his animals to the place where they belong: the plateau in South America. Anthony is hired to cover the adventure, and he takes it as the only prospect, the last chance to set his wasted life right again. Peter also goes with him; his task is to comment on the events, to write a diary – therefore he'll be our main character. It's an unusual thing from Greg Bear, but he is about to give us an adventure book for the young.
Bear is paying obeisance not only to Conan Doyle but to the filmmakers of his childhood, when to the members of the expedition he commissions the creators of King Kong (i.e. Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack) along with the legendary stop motion animators, Willis O'Brien and Ray Harryhausen (!!!!!) – or rather, their equivalents from this alternative past. For those who know them well, the book is full of insider jokes with typical phrases or gestures, however those unfamiliar with them can still enjoy this exciting book altogether.
The novel has the storyline of the classic adventure stories, strengthened by the tools of the modern writer. What makes it really outstanding is Bear's profoundness in picturing the setting and the creatures. In his lost world evolution hadn't stopped short, so while well-known, so-called "classic" dinosaurs can also be found in the book, you can meet new, unacquainted species, too.
The book is primarily aimed at teenage readers, although adults will also find it most entertaining. There is some violence, of course, the plot requires it, but Bear doesn't lavish his power to enlarge upon gory scenes. In addition, Dinosaur Summer was published with illustrations by Tony DiTerlizzi.
Besides the series of adventures Bear also tones the father/son relationship, when the child is becoming an adult in the parental eyes. The boy is wrestling to shake the drag of infancy and to prove his father that he can stand his ground as a grown-up. At first they are not quite on terms, but they gradually realize the importance of using each other's strength – to be able to give support in need at the end. The book is recommended to anyone with a son, especially if he likes dinosaur fiction, so that the little idols of our days like Harry Potter or that glamour-vampire-boy Edward can step into their last buses!

Titans dash Jets' playoff hopes
Steelers/NFL Videos
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Chris Johnson went 94 yards for the longest touchdown run in the NFL since 2006, and the Tennessee Titans beat the Jets, 14-10, on Monday night to eliminate New York from playoff contention.
Jake Locker's first touchdown run of the season put Tennessee ahead late in the third quarter, and the Titans intercepted four passes by a struggling Mark Sanchez to snap a three-game skid.
The Jets (6-8) needed to win their final three games and get help elsewhere to earn an AFC playoff spot. Instead, the Titans sacked Sanchez three times and got a fourth on Tim Tebow. Jason McCourty and Michael Griffin each had two interceptions, keeping the Jets out of the playoffs a second straight season after reaching consecutive AFC title games.
Johnson, with the names of the victims of Friday's shootings in Connecticut written on his cleats, ran 94 yards for a franchise-record TD in the second quarter. Locker's 13-yard TD run at the end of the third put the Titans (5-9) ahead to stay.

The Yankees' Kevin Youkilis high-fives coach Larry Rothschild after hitting a two-run homer in the first inning of an 11-9 win over the Pirates.
- Filed Under
Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira's wrist injury is slightly - but significantly - different than originally announced, and according to general manager Brian Cashman, Teixeira still has a 30-percent chance of needing season-ending surgery.
"If I come back early, I'm not going to be very good," Teixeira said. "And I could blow it out."
The damage is in Teixeira's tendon sheath, not the tendon itself as previously announced. It may seem like a minor difference - it's a partially torn right wrist either way - but the sheath holds the tendon in place, and if the tendon itself becomes unstable, ...

December 24th, 2008 10:01 AM Firstly have a Merry Christmas. It's the 24th and we are all waiting to open and give away gifts along with love. We staffers from ICM hope that all your wishes comes true. As an extra little Christmas gift from Santa we have an article that mentions Rupert Grint's next upcoming film Cherrybomb officially being selected for Berlinale. There's nothing new mentioned in the article, but with the words from Louise Ryan comes a picture of Robert Sheehan (Luke). This picture is interesting to discuss as you will notice Luke's bloody knuckles and sad face when you view it in our gallery here. Feel free to speculate about the reason for his appearance in the spoiler thread at our forums.
And if you just entered ICM, make sure you don't miss our interview with the graphic maker from "Cherrybomb" Brian Philip Davis.
Irish Film Cherrybomb Officially Selected for Berlinale Film Festival
The Irish film Cherrybomb directed by Lisa Barros D'Sa and Glenn Leyburn has officially been selected to screen along with five other titles in the Generation 14 plus of the renowned Berlinale Film Festival in February 2009.
Starring Robert Sheehan, Rupert Grint and Kimberley Nixon it tells the story of three teenagers who embark on a wild weekend of drink, drugs, shop-lifting and stealing cars. But what starts out as a game turns deadly serious when they discover the wild ride they've set in motion won't let them get off.
Cherrybomb which was produced by Michael Casey, Mark Huffman and Brian Kirk for Generator Entertainment, Octagon Films, and Green Park Films with funding from Bord Scanna nhEireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB), Northern Ireland Screen, BCI and BBC NI and sales being handled by The Little Film Company. Cherrybomb was filmed in Northern Ireland and developed with the support of the IFB.

Cool t-shirt.
December 24th, 2008 at 5:16 AM
If you look at the pic with Luke and Malachy (Luchy), his knuckles are bloody. So, that may have taken place after the "beatdown."
I thought that the times the articles were posted would reflect the time the person is in.
It's only 5:17 am here, so I have to watch out for that.
December 24th, 2008 at 5:19 AM

December 24th, 2008 at 10:02 AM
Merry Christmas, Everyone! Happy Birthday, Val!
If Luke bloodied his knuckles on my baby Malachy, I swear to God I will smack a bitch.
I'm on the tamale-stuffing assembly line today. The process goes like this:
1. Open corn husk.
2. Sip margarita.
3. Shmear corn masa on husk.
4. Sip margarita,
5. Slap meat filling on shmeared masa.
6. Swig margarita.
7. Fold corn husk closed and grab another corn husk.
8. Refill margarita glass. Repeat.
For some strange reason, the first batch always comes out so nice and pretty and the last ones, not so much.
December 24th, 2008 at 10:04 AM

December 24th, 2008 at 11:48 AM
Like I said at the R/E Forum: I HAVE NO WORDS!!! SPEECHLESS!
December 24th, 2008 at 12:00 PM
I cannot wait to see this movie. I will settle for getting the trailer soon.
I watched Robert in a short film and he was absolutely amazing. The kid has serious chops.
December 24th, 2008 at 12:02 PM
Katie, did you see the new NMA stuff in the video I posted above? I'm squee like a a dumbass right now!!! OMG.
December 24th, 2008 at 12:13 PM
Yes! I just commented over in the RandEforum!
December 24th, 2008 at 12:18 PM
OMG…. 0_O Why haven't I seen that video before??? THERE WAS SO MUCH FRIKIN TENSION!!! lol 😀
December 24th, 2008 at 12:19 PM
Yes, I just read it!!! OMG. Emma's staring was intense. I bet Rupert could feel her eyes on him. He looked so stiff during that moment. lol
December 24th, 2008 at 12:24 PM

December 24th, 2008 at 1:15 PM
First off, Happy Birthday Val you christmas birthday girl.
Second noooooo way do I believe Luke and Malachy got into the fight. They may become enemies competing for Michelle but I don't think they physically fight, I need more evidence first.
December 24th, 2008 at 1:37 PM
Dan's floating head looks so funny here:
More chitchat and caps at the R/E Forum:
December 24th, 2008 at 2:06 PM
Merry Christmas Enock!!! All best, mate!!!
December 24th, 2008 at 2:06 PM
Val hope you do have a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Mentioning Lady made me sad. I miss her.
Love getting these little peeks into the movie. Luke sure wears alot of black doesn't he? I agree Jo, I just don't see a beat up between Luke and Malachy. But then again the movie sounds like it's totally different than your average story.
Happy Holidays everyone. Thanks for a great year at ICM. The staff has done such a great job to make this site even better than before. Can't wait to see how things will develope for the YEAR OF THE GRINT!
December 24th, 2008 at 2:27 PM
Merry Christmas everyone! I love how modest Rupert was about Dan deserving it more than him. I disagree, but…and how he joked it was fixed. Everyone laughed and he kept a straight face. He's amazing!!! Happy Holidays Rupert. I hope all your wishes come true.
December 24th, 2008 at 2:55 PM
Happy Holidays to everyone….hope all are healthy and happy wherever you are.
Happy Birthday to Val and Dove and whomever has one this month that I missed.
Blessings to you all
December 24th, 2008 at 3:03 PM
Is hard to me to believe that Emma isn't crazy about him just like us.
He's so sweet and sooo hot in the same time!
You are so great. I have so much fun in here.
I'm brazilian. Sorry my english.
Happy Christmas!
December 24th, 2008 at 3:49 PM
Well, she said he's not her type. I'd like to know what is her type!
Perhaps it's because they have been friends for sooo long.
All I know is, it's a damn lucky bitch that gets to spend 11 months out of the year with Rupert every year for 8 years…
December 24th, 2008 at 4:06 PM
Hi, Nina!! Welcome to Rupertland!
I´m Brazilian too and your English is pretty good!
Don´t worry because the girls here are all patient with us! 😀
You made my day!
The best gift I could get from fandom today!
Who said she isn´t crazy about him?
The way she look at him at 2:13 cant´deny!!
And pleae what Rupert said at 4:02 that made everybody laugh?
I can´t hear it well!
Oh and again… MERRY CHERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
And VAL, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! 😀
December 24th, 2008 at 4:06 PM

December 24th, 2008 at 4:14 PM
Yeah we don't understand why Emma doesn't want to date Rupert but she has known Rupert since they were kids so she looks at him in a completely different way. They are really cute together but I get tired sometimes because I want to see Rupert with a girl who is genuinely interested. Plus he might be the one now who just isn't feeling it.
December 24th, 2008 at 4:14 PM
I know LILLY! What a FABULOUS TREAT TO FIND!!!
Rupert said it was a fix when the reporter asked him how he felt about Dan winning over him. Emma whispering "That was brilliant!". SO SWEET!
There is more discussion going on here:
and obviously at the R/E Forum.
In response to the new NMA footage we got today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3nlJrwGwag
DElusional: Uhuh, right. Theyre only talking. Theres nothing special in this video. You guys just imagine that emma and rupert are together which is not true. Theres NO chemistry between them.Emma said about hundred times that rup is her friend and kissing him on the HBP set is boring and weird. Its true if you like it or not
December 24th, 2008 at 4:15 PM
It think it was about Dan winning an award over him, and he said that "It must have been a fix." and Emma was side-commenting to him saying, "Brilliant." afterwards.
December 24th, 2008 at 4:16 PM
Oh and thanks Enock for the Christmas greeting, and Merry Christmas again guys. I am about to eat me some pie and it reminds me of Rupert.
December 24th, 2008 at 4:19 PM
"Plus he might be the one now who just isn't feeling it"
Aw, as much as I would hate to hear me saying this, I think so too. I think, although, I was and still hopeful Rupemma fan, I have a hunch Rupert doesn't really feel genuinely attracted to Emma.. I think he just thinks she's a friend… awww hopefully im wrong. lOl.
But whatever, all i want Rupert to do is to show himself to US every minute of everyday.
December 24th, 2008 at 4:22 PM
As we say it in our language, "Maligayang Pasko" all ICMers and ICmlurkers! Gosh. another year. Love ICM! why do they get the latest and all possible news ever??!!!
December 24th, 2008 at 4:26 PM
I'll celebrate Christmas on 7th January but anyway Merry Christmas, everyone!
Happy Birthday, Val! All the best!
December 24th, 2008 at 4:28 PM
Rupert also needs somebody to spoil and pamper him, (right ivana,wink) Emma won't do that becaue she wants to be spoiled so they cancel each other out. Actually he needs somebody with a bit of Hermione in them because Hermione loves to take care of Ron lol. Doesn't mean they still don't look cute together though.
December 24th, 2008 at 4:40 PM
*sigh* Rupert just needs me…. or mabie I need him.
I'm gonna grab Santa tonight and hitch a ride to Rupert's house.
December 24th, 2008 at 4:43 PM
yeah, he said so himself that he was so much like Ron…
December 24th, 2008 at 4:43 PM
be careful vanessa.
December 24th, 2008 at 4:45 PM
JO, in this video, Emma looks like she wanted so much to take care of him!! 😀
Rupert just need her pushing him on a wall like a ball and kissing him powerfully, so I bet he will forget everything around him!!
And it´s so funny!
Him looking in "her ups" and she… well you watched the video!! Hahaha!!

Have you guys ever seen the Rankin & Bass animated "Santa Claus is Coming to Town?" (you know, with the Burgermeister, meisterburger?) That picture of Rupert looks like the animated Kris Kringle BEFORE he becomes Santa. Heehee
December 25th, 2008 at 12:41 PM
lol Bilius! I said that like 2 yrs ago. So funny someone else noticed.
December 25th, 2008 at 1:36 PM
Good morning all,
Hope everyone who celebrates it is having a nice Christmas.
Happy Belated, Val!!!
Bilius, I think long ago there was actually some fanvideo of Kris Kringle (from SCICTT) that had something to do with Ron or DD.

This is an anti Chavez blog, with more than 95% anti Chavez readers that have made up their minds long ago. Thus trying to prove us wrong is considered a troll. Still, you are welcome as a chavista to post,> in particular if you want to explain us coherently as to why chavismo does this or that. We are still waiting for that to happen once.
Insults and put downs are frowned upon and I will be sole judge on whether to publish them.

Comments (0)
CHARITY chiefs are urging people to support sufferers of multiple sclerosis.
The MS Society says there are around 550 people living with the illness in Nottingham but a recent poll in the city found fewer then half those asked could only identify one symptom of the condition.
The charity is calling on people in Nottingham to support Challenge MS, an annual fundraising event, and raise £125,000 during September. Go to challengeMS.org.uk.

Chemicals are used throughout campus on a daily basis. When proper precautions are employed, most of these materials represent few hazards. Some examples of these precautions involve engineering controls such as proper workshop ventilation or using laboratory chemicals inside a fume hood. Other precautions include wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves or safety glasses. Examples of administrative controls to ensure safety include restricting access to areas where hazardous materials are used, training, or preventing the consumption of food in areas where hazardous chemicals are used.
In order to know what hazards the chemicals you work with present, you need to explore information about the products you use before you actually start working with the material. Sources of information are varied. For commercially available products, manufacturers are required by law to provide hazard information such as warning labels and material safety data sheets. For research materials developed internally, it is the responsibility of the developer/PI to define the unique hazards associated with the material and seek assistance from EHS to determine the proper precautions, controls, and medical surveillance.
Chemical exposures present various potential health hazards. Some exposures result in immediate acute responses (like a chemical burn), while others result from chronic or repeated exposures. The resulting response to exposures may be delayed. A latency period — such as for carcinogens — may be 15 to 30 years following exposures.
To avoid exposures, follow the recommendations for safe use and protective equipment and ensure that you also follow administrative rules established for your safety:
Refer to the Lab Safety Policies for additional information on laboratory safety policies, or contact EHS at 4-0242 for assistance with establishing proper handling procedures and controls specific to your work needs.
You should report exposures to hazardous materials to Risk Management. If you develop an illness you believe may be related to a work acquired exposure, you should report the condition to Risk Management even if you discover the illness after the actual exposures might have occurred.
A Safety Data Sheet (SDS) is designed to provide workers with information regarding the hazards associated with chemical products and recommended precautions for safe handling and storage. SDS include information such as trade names, chemical composition, physical data (melting point, boiling point, flash point etc.), health effects, recommended protective equipment, first aid measures, conditions to avoid, and in some cases disposal and spill procedures.
Supervisors are responsible for ensuring their employees have access to MSDS's for all hazardous chemicals used in the workplace or laboratory. An SDS for the materials workers will use must be readily accessible to the worker. Access to SDSs can electronically or in hard copy, but if electronic — then the employee must have ready access to a computer and know how and where to obtain the proper SDS.
If an employee or student has an accident involving exposure to a hazardous material, take a copy of the SDS to the health care provider to inform treatment.
It is preferable that you obtain a MSDS for your hazardous material from the actual manufacturer of the product you are working with. One should be provided with the shipment or available online through the manufacturer. The following are Internet accessible and searchable databases with MSDS for multiple manufacturers. Do not rely on an MSDS that is older than five years.
It is important for researchers to understand and define the unique hazards and required safety precautions related their research. When preparing research protocol descriptions, remember to include the unique safety precautions that should be employed while performing the various activities to be undertaken. The principal investigator (PI) is responsible for the training and safety of workers involved in their research activities.
When developing the proper safety procedures and when conducting training to the research staff, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) tab above for each material proposed for use in the research. This information should help inform the proper personal protective equipment (PPE), precautions for safe handling, emergency procedures, proper storage and segregation of chemicals, and appropriate first aid. It is important to include this information during protocol preparation and when applying for a radiation permit, animal use, or biosafety authorization.
In some cases, the use of specific pathogens or chemicals necessitates that workers enroll in a medical surveillance program. For more information or assistance contact EHS at 4-0242.

Dr. Giglioli is equally well acquainted with the English and Italian languages, but before taking the slightest decision your conditions should be clearly and fully communicated, and for that purpose you had better write it over to Dr. Giglioli whose address is 36 Lung'arno Nuovo 3 floor. Florence
I know no one at Sarawat who can collect insects scientifically , at Labuan Mr. Hugh Law, Treasurer to the colony might prove the person.
Yours faithfully | Odoardo Beccari [signature]

Here are the highlights for Kansas:
During a life growing up in Kansas, and getting a public education's worth of state history, I remember hearing somewhere that Kansas counties were carved up so a one day horse ride could get citizens to a county courthouse. Those boundaries, some dating to 1855, still determine who will be providing fire, police, judicial, and other services to Kansas citizens to this day. Because of the ancient county lines and numerous municipalities, Kansas has one general purpose government for every 1,445.1 residents, according to data from the Census Bureau. Only the Dakotas have fewer residents per government entities.
Kansas consistently performs poorly in tax rankings due to high property tax burdens. The 2012 Tax Foundation study Location Matters, found Kansas has the 3rd highest tax burden for mature businesses and the 2nd highest tax burden for new businesses. The study cited high property taxes for Kansas' poor showing. A 2011 study by the Minnesota Taxpayers Association found Iola, Kansas had the highest effective tax rate on rural commercial property taxes and the 2nd highest rural industrial property taxes of all the rural communities examined.
Over 150 years of innovation would now allow Kansas to redraw the map and take advantage of enormous economies of scale. This doesn't necessarily mean the State should force consolidation. While that option is worthy of serious consideration, shared services or even unified governments (e.g. Wyandotte and Kansas City) offer ways to increase efficiency, lower the burden of government and make Kansas more competitive.
The following is a representative sample of recommendations submitted to the Governor's School Efficiency Task Force. Submissions were made by school employees, parents and involved members of the community. The recommendations do not necessarily represent the views of Kansas Policy Institute.
Organization/ Logistics
Personal/Human Resources
Looking at the state level a similar conclusion is found; higher government spending correlates with slower economic growth:

Hi All,
I am planning to use concurrent workflow execution concept for one of my workflow to load data from JAN2012 to DEC2012.
As per my research and testing, i am using seperate parameter files for each periods from JAN2012 through DEC2012.
Is there any possibility to have this concurrent workflow execution option using a single parameter file for all the periods.
Thanks in Advance,
Hi Arul,
It totally depends on your mapping design. If your extraction logic is capable to use START_DATE, END_DATE concept. Then you can extract the whole year data based on the simple criteria.
Extraction Start Date = $$v_start_date = JAN2012
Extraction End Date = $$v_end_date = DEC2012
Hi Felix,
Thanks for your reply.
Actually my requirement is,
All the periods from JAN2012 to DEC2012 should run in Parallel. If a single period is taking 10 mins to complete, my all periods should run in parallel and all the 12 periods should complete with in 10 to 12 mins at the max. If we give the parameters as mentioned above the load will run the periods one by one. It will take 2 hours.
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.

Maplets[Examples][LinearAlgebra][QRDecomposition] - display a graphical interface to the QRDecomposition function
Calling Sequence
The QRDecomposition(M) calling sequence displays a Maplet application that returns the QR decomposition of the matrix M.
A definition of the QR decomposition of a matrix is given in the Maplet application.
By selecting the Full QR factorization check box, force the routine to perform the full QR factorization, which is generally performed only if M has full rank.
By using the Output drop-down box, control the output returned to the worksheet.
Note: If M has floating-point entries and R and rank are included in the Output, the rank returned is not the rank of M. For more information, see LinearAlgebra[QRDecomposition].
By using the Matrix has real values check box, control the algorithm used. If the matrix has real entries, a faster algorithm can be used. The default value is determined by using the value of hasM,I, which returns true if M has complex entries. That is, it is selected, by default, only if M has no complex entries.
Note: If Matrix has real values is selected and the matrix has any complex entries, an incorrect result may be returned.
By using the Upper-triangular shape and storage for R check box, control the form of the matrix R returned.
By using the Return read-only matrix(ces) check box, control whether the matrix(ces) returned by the Maplet application are read-only. The default behavior is that the matrix(ces) returned are not read-only.
By using the Evaluate result check box, control whether the Maplet application returns the output requested or the calling sequence required to calculate this output in the worksheet. The default behavior is to evaluate the result, that is, return the requested output.
The QRDecomposition sample Maplet worksheet demonstrates how to write a Maplet application that functions similarly to the Maplet application displayed by this routine.
