Critics say a Muslim group picked the wrong day – Sept. 11 – to march on Washington to complain about religious profiling and President Obama's handling of an investigation into the terror attacks that rocked America 12 years ago.
The mass demonstration, called the "Million Muslim March," was changed to a more mainstream-sounding event, "Million American March Against Fear," but the name did not seem to gain much traction and has apparently reverted back to its original title.
"These guys are problematic and they're trying to exploit 9/11."
– Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, president of the Islamic Forum for Democracy
American Muslim Political Action Committee (AMPAC), which is organizing the march, claims Muslims nationwide have been the victims of anti-Islamic bigotry in the years following the Sept. 11, 2001, Al Qaeda terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people on American soil.
"On 9.11.01 our country was forever changed by the horrific events in New York. The entire country was victimized by the acts done on that day," the group said in a statement. "Muslim and Non Muslim alike were traumatized but we as Muslims continue 12 years later to be victimized by being made the villains. To this day every media outlet and anti Islamic organization has committed slanderous and libel statements against us as Muslims and our religion of Islam."
"Yet our Government either sits idly by and does nothing to protect our freedoms or it exacerbates the problem with its constant war on terrorism in Islamic countries, congressional hearings on Islam in America, and its changes to the NDAA law," the statement says.
In an interview Thursday with Fox News' Sean Hannity, M.D. Rabbi Alam, one of the march's main organizers, defended the movement, claiming demonstrators will stand on that day to "show America that we Muslims denounce terrorism."
"We Muslims have become villainized and victimized" following the attacks, Alam said. He added that 12 years after 9/11, he feels that he "is looked at" as one of the 19 Al Qaeda hijackers who committed the attacks.
But critics say the U.S. has gone to great lengths to differentiate between Islam and Islamic extremists since the 2001 attacks — and that claims Muslims have been victimized by the government are unfounded. Critics also say the date chosen for the march on the nation's capitol — Sept. 11 — is insensitive to the victims and their family members.
"They're basically a bunch of 'truthers' who think that America's to blame for everything," Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, president of the Islamic Forum for Democracy, told Fox News on Friday. The Anti-Defamation League, Jasser said, has identified some of the leaders of the march as "being virulent, anti-Semites who think 9/11 was a conspiracy theory."
"These guys are problematic and they're trying to exploit 9/11," Jasser said. "If they were truly patriotic Americans and moderates, they'd be marching on the courthouse steps of the Fort Hood trial that's happening this week to tell Americans that we want the death penalty for Nidal Hissan rather than this circus that they're doing in exploiting the murders and horrific acts of 9/11."
"America has gone on to liberate Muslims," he continued. "They gave our families freedom that we could not have in any so-called Muslim countries."
LeaderSpeak Note to the Reader:
Take a few moments and revisit the horrors that was "9-11". Ask yourselves this question, "If our fellow Americans, who were actually in New York as eyewitnesses to the horror unfolding before their eyes, were exclaiming in disbelief, "It's a terror attack! It's a f**king terror attack!", then what has happened to our mindset since then? It's as if our churches have become deaf, dumb and blind to what is unfolding before our very eyes, politicians are scrambling like rats on a sinking ship to shore up their political bases in a vain attempt to stay in power, our hard earned dollars are funding the "muslim brotherhood" takeovers of all the countries surrounding Israel, homosexual is being touted as the new marriage and the new military, our public school systems are the new youth indoctrination camps espousing socialism and fascism and we are being told its anti-American to retain the right to bear arms in order to protect ourselves from the very political tyranny that is exploiting all of us. Well, I have had enough. I may be a nobody in the media's eyes. But, I know in Whom I believe. It's not the fantasy god of make believe the muslims call, "allah." I refuse to be intimidated by it's blood thirsty followers either. Nor will I ever bow the knee to rulers of any kind save Jesus Christ. He is this world's True King of kings and Lord of lords. He alone will bring peace to this chaotic planet. Until He makes His appearance, what shall I be doing as a Christian and as an American citizen? I will be supporting the right of Israel to exist as a nation and a people no matter what everyone else thinks about them. I will honorably defend my beloved nation, the United States of America – the very place where God chose to birth me as its citizen – from every attempt to subvert our freedoms and the welfare of my own children and grandchildren. I will uphold our founding father's Constitution intents. And, if need be, will work to remove from office ALL who work toward the destruction our nation's foundations. And, I will only support those men and women who have a track record of upholding the ideals and virtues that has made our country so great; the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness… so help me God. What are you waiting for American?

Not So Proud Papa
Our son is an unmotivated lunkhead. How can we light a fire under him?

Got a burning question for Prudie? She'll be online at Washingtonpost.com to chat with readers each Monday at 1 p.m. Submit your questions and comments here before or during the live discussion.
Dear Prudence,
My son is 25 years old and has always been unmotivated in nearly every aspect of living. My wife and I have been nurturing and supportive of any potential he has shown. He has few friends and had only one girlfriend, briefly. He stays up late, sleeps at odd hours, and eats lots of junk food. He is probably 50 pounds overweight but doesn't seem to notice. He was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes as a boy. He manages it pretty well, although my wife and I still have to monitor his health care. He dropped out of college after freshman year. Around that time he was prescribed antidepressants, which he has taken off and on since. Six months ago we insisted he move out, and he now lives with his 23-year-old brother. He refuses to engage in any meaningful conversation with us. On the plus side, he has chosen to be an automobile technician, is very capable at it, and makes good money. He has a passion for motor sports. He doesn't seem to be unhappy. My wife and I are trying to reconcile ourselves that this is how he will live his life, although it's not healthy or what we consider fulfilling. Should we give up, give in, or just let him find his own way?
—Concerned Parent
Dear Concerned,
As I started reading your letter I thought, "We've seen this movie so many times before." Slacker Americanus: Cheetos-munching, tubby, semi-verbal, nocturnal, no prospects, repulsive to females. Think of the house of slobs in Knocked Up. Then you threw in a twist ending. The kid is employed, he's got skills that are in high demand, he has a passion in life. He's happy! (I understand he's been on anti-depressants, but they're effective.) I'm inferring that you and your wife would prefer, and understand better, an arugula-eating son toiling on a doctorate in comparative literature. However, it could be that at the end of that son's labors, you'd wish he'd spent less time analyzing Love's Labour's Lost and more time getting some skills that resulted in a paycheck. Your son may be naturally monosyllabic, but it's also unpleasant to constantly discuss with your parents why you're such a disappointment. Since you say you were nurturing and attentive parents, I assume you engaged professionals to figure out what was going on with your son and got no definitive answers. So now, instead of working on your son, try working on yourselves. Start by letting him know how proud you are that he's developed the skills to have a successful career. Take your car in for a tune-up to his shop as a paying customer. Tell him you don't know a bleed nipple from an output shaft, and that you're impressed that he does. Ask if he would take you to some car races with him. Once you establish a better relationship, tell him you and his mother are going to start turning over his diabetes care to him. Before you do, say you'd be happy to pay for some consultations with a nutritionist to help keep his condition under control. Tell him you're making this offer because the healthier he is, the better he'll be able to do the things he loves, and because you love him.
Dear Prudence: Mixing Business and Carnal Pleasure
Dear Prudence,
Should I report sexism from a business school interview? I'm a young female professional living in a big city, with several years of work experience in the event planning industry. This week I had my first MBA interview at a business school here, and I was appalled by the comments made by the admissions director. In addition to my work experience, I graduated from college magna cum laude, lived abroad, and volunteered with large nonprofits. The interview was standard until the end, when the director gave me some constructive criticism. He said I need to refine my "'elevator pitch" and explained why. Then he added, "How do I know you aren't just another pretty girl whose looks got her these opportunities?" I thanked him for his feedback and left the office angry that I didn't ask him to clarify his comments. How do I report this behavior without jeopardizing my graduate application? I certainly don't want other female applicants to have their experience judged by their looks.
—Just Look at My Résumé
Dear Résumé,
The head of admissions either had a stroke during your interview or he's been watching way too much Mad Men. That this guy said to your face that your success is possibly a result of your pretty face is a violation of about 30 years' worth of evolving higher education rules. His superiors definitely need to know. Look at the school's directory and find the appropriate deans in positions over him and send them an email. You can make your subject line something like "Disturbing question asked at my admissions interview." That should get their interest, and blood pressure, up. Make your description factual and uninflammatory. You can say that the bulk of the interview was fine, but you were completely taken aback when the admissions director said what he did about your looks. Give a short summary of your work history and say you were appalled to have someone question whether your achievements were based on anything but your skills and hard work. Add that you know their school is excellent and you are still interested in being a student, but that they need to know the kinds of things being said to applicants. I doubt you will have hurt your chances for admission, though the head of admissions may have helped his chances for retirement.
Dear Prudence,
I am a 22-year-old wife and mother of two young children. My husband is not the father of my eldest child, who is 7 years old. I met my husband when my daughter was 2 years old, and since then he's been the father figure to her. My husband's family refers to her as their granddaughter. But they often ask why my daughter's father isn't in the picture and why his name isn't on her birth certificate. It's a private matter that I find difficult to discuss, so I just change the subject. When I was 14 years old, I was raped by a family member and became pregnant. I am ashamed and disgusted that I never pressed charges. The rapist is living his life like nothing happened. My husband is aware of my daughter's origin. He wants us to tell his family so they will stop asking. But discussing it would be like reliving it over again. Is there something I can tell his family so that they will stop asking?

in Plants
I have been given a load of firewood from a work colleague and amongst it all is this tree stump or trunk.
I had planned to use it as a bug pile to rot down in a corner of the garden, tucked behind Geranium and ferns and being a bit of a feature as well. However, seeing the RHS Tatton Park GreEnCo garden on the Gardeners World Tatton Park TV programme with the plants growing from the top of log piles I am wondering if there are any plants I can plant into any natural holes in it. I don't want to start growing Ivy over it just small plants. It's more or less in the position I want it in which is tuked away in a shady and damp spot.
Can anyone give me some suggestions for plants???
Maybe you could use some rockery plants? They might like this sort of environment?
I'd be looking at small ferns
I have a tree stump in my garden that has nay self set asplenium-scolopendrium growing from it it's very effective!!! I also have pots of hostas on top of the cut branches . Will take a pic tomorrow and upload it
I'd be going for ferns too, and some of the succulents that grow in barely any soil.
Hope this works this site doesn't seem to like iPad uploads!!!!!
Many thanks for the fern ideas, I think I will go that way to add variety to the ferns already planted in the position I will be putting the stump

Canon says they will market a new C100 camera just in time for Christmas.
Combination Camcorder/DSLR camera.
One problem is the price
I would like a camera that I can shoot video for the purpose of getting good photos of my terriers in motion. I need to get nice photos of my dogs, but my camera is not fast enough to capture them. I take thousands of photos and very few are good enough for my website. More frequently than not the dog is not even in the frame. When I shoot video and look at the stills the composition is good but the quality is terrible. Please advise.....thanks

This is my favorite because I don't normally read mysteries. Since I am not familiar with mysteries I just chose the first one that came to my head. I also thought that this story was the best out of all of the mysteries I have ever read because, I like all of the suspense and the way Holmes is so mysterious. I like how he keeps you reading until you are satisfied with the ending. I think that the best beginning for a mystery would be……. It was pitch black. I knew I had to get out of there. There was only one way in and out. I kept hearing strange noises. No doubt they were trying to torture me out of my mind. I had been a day since I had gone into this dreadful cottage. On the outside, a friendly looking vacation home made out of ginger bread and candy. Now, a damp dark prison in which I was now being held. I had to get out of here. I was slowly going insane. I knew that there was a witch outside my cellar. I could hear my brother scream as her wicked hands enveloped him. I kept trying to remember how I got here, but with the fear that I would meet my brother's same fate, it wasn't so easy. I couldn't really tell if my brother's life was ended or not, but I had to get out of here. It was a while until I heard an eerie voice break the silence. The witch! She sang a dreadful little tune to herself, The stove is hot and as is the pot, The girl is fat and the stew is tasty, She is the final ingredient, I will add her to the stew, Then I shall dine upon her flesh.

St.Francis is seen taming the wolf, Gubbio, in this stained glass depiction in the campus' Immaculate Conception Chapel.
We were thrilled to learn last week that our new Pope chose the name "Francis." The choice of his name is a popular conversation topic. We are proud of the connection to our University's patron, St. Francis, who made it his life's work to care for nature, the poor, and the disadvantaged. Pope Francis was inaugurated on Tuesday and, like St. Francis, echoed that statement when he pleaded, "Let us be protectors of creation, protectors of God's plan inscribed in nature, protectors of one another and of the environment."
We were asked to speak to the local media about St. Francis and what it means to live Franciscan values. Check out the stories:

Hang Gliders, for instance, offers not only a tally of the required gear but also covers techniques for steering, changing speeds, and landing safely. Both the narratives and images feature men and women in roughly equal numbers-and, even more laudably, Space Vehicles highlights a Russian Soyuz and its launch vehicle rather than now-obsolete American spacecraft, though the Hubble Space Telescope does make a cameo.

Hampton Inn Bakersfield Airport
Traveler Comments
The hotel was convienently located and the staff was friendly. There are very little amenities however.
We are quite happy with the Hilton properties in general; we use Hilton exclusively.
This hotel always provides consistent service and a nice complimentary breakfast with some hot items. The staff are friendly and accomodating, and have good attention to detail. For instance, the last two times I have reserved a room on their website, I have requested a crib, and they have always made sure the crib was available in the room.
i recommend
This chain is consistently good quality and value. This Bakerfield hotel is one of the best of all Hampton Inns we have experienced
Everything about our stay met or exceeded our expectations; would've expected the same service from a more expensive establishment
good, standard hotel. Friendly service, free breakfast, clean - all I needed!

Russell Martin got the Yankees on the scoreboard in the top of the third with a solo homer. The Yankees had a chance to take the lead as Brett Gardner drew a walk and stole second. With two outs, the Rays intentionally walked Cano. Alex Rodriguez walked to load the bases, but Mark Teixeira flew out, ending the threat.
The Yankees rallied again in the top of the fifth as Gardner and Nunez hit back-to-back singles, putting runners on the corners. Curtis Granderson hit into a double play, but allowed Gardner to score, tying the game at 2-2. The Pinstripes continued their rally in the sixth, as Rodriguez worked another walk and Teixeira doubled. A RBI double from Nick Swisher put New York ahead 3-2, but once again they missed a chance at extra runs. Jorge Posada was intentionally walked, loading the bases with no outs. Martin followed with a grounder to third, which turned into the perfect triple play ball as Longoria fielded it while standing on third and sent it around the horn to end the inning. It was the third triple play in Rays history.
Colon pitched into the sixth inning, but was replaced by Cory Wade. Rafael Soriano came into the game in the seventh inning and promptly walked Upton and Longoria. Matt Joyce followed with a big three-run homer and the Rays retook the lead. The Yankees went down in order in the eighth and ninth, giving Tampa Bay a 5-3 win.
Bronx Cheers:
Rafael Soriano: Soriano had trouble right from the start, despite being on his old home turf. He gave up three runs on two walks and a hit, before settling down and finishing the inning.
Curtis Granderson: Grandy went 0-4 and stranded three runners. He managed to get one run in, but hit into a double play in the process.
Robinson Cano and Jorge Posada: Cano and Posada both went 0-3 with a walk.
Curtain Calls:
Bartolo Colon: It wasn't the best outing, but it was an improvement over his last few games and was enough to have the Yankees in the lead when he was pulled from the game. In 5.1 innings, Colon gave up two runs on seven hits and two walks. He had three strikeouts, picked off a runner and also had an throwing error.
Mark Teixeira and Eduardo Nunez: Both went 2-4 and were the only Yankees to have multiple hits. Teixeira had a double.
Brett Gardner: Gardner was 1-3 with a run scored, a walk and his 49th stolen base of the season.
In the On Deck Circle:
As I am writing this, the Yankees have yet to pick a starter for the final game of the season. David Price will be starting for the Rays – so I would be very nervous if I was a Red Sox fan…luckily I am not.

"Quoth the raven 'Nevermore.'"
Once upon a midnight dreary, a mad killer, eyes blurry, concocted a plan to recreate the grisly murders found in his favorite author's stories in the hopes of becoming a storybook killer himself.
The Flick: The Raven
The Skinny: Director James McTeigue's (V For Vendetta) period mystery thriller is a fictionalized account of the last days of Edgar Allan Poe, creator of the detective fiction genre of literature and writer of such classic macabre stories and poems as "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Purloined Letter" and "The Raven."
The Players: John Cusack stars as Poe, a once-great writer who has become a social pariah. When a series of murders in Baltimore appear to be based on Poe's stories, Inspector Emmett Fields (Luke Evans) enlists Poe to aid him in the hunt for the killer. Alice Eve and Brendan Gleeson also star.

Kingdom City Out of all the clanging cymbals judges listened to before selecting winners, only a few Mid-Missouri high school bands came out sounding sweet.
North Callaway High School was among eight schools chosen as winners of the recent Project Glee contest held by KQFX Fox 22. The school's band received a $2,500 check this week to go toward instrument repair.
The TV station began promoting the contest this spring and requested Mid-Missouri schools send in a video outlining why their fine arts departments needed the grant money. More than 60 schools applied, and the winners were chosen two weeks ago.
Gene Steinberg, KQFX general manager, said the station came up with the contest idea through the TV show "Glee" and decided to collect $22,000 in award money to distribute to schools' music, arts or theater departments.
"We know the fine arts departments in high schools are suffering due to the financial crisis everybody's suffering under," Steinberg said.

I'm thankful he has accepted the role as consultant while also transitioning into retirement. As for the restructuring, we have promoted several members of our staff and given them more responsibility in their roles of expertise. I'm confident this group, as well as the others who remain with the department, will continue to work at a high level and make huge contributions to our future success."

Royals have something to "Crow" about
The Royals landed a highly touted prospect in the first round today, and the pitcher was in their own backyard. University of Missouri product Aaron Crow, who went to Washburn Rural High School in Topeka, was the 12th overall pick. Crow went 13-0 with Mizzou as a junior in 2008 to earn Big 12 Pitcher of the Year honors. He was selected by Washington last year, but did not sign. Crow has pitched for the Fort Worth Cats in the independent American Assocation in 2008 and 2009.
Royals team photographer Chris Vleisides was in the "war room" during today's first round. Here are some exclusive pictures.
First, we see General Manager Dayton Moore as he talks with Midwest Regional Supervisor John Flannery.
Here's Dayton discussing draft strategies with Lonnie Goldberg, Mike Arbuckle, J.J. Picollo, Steve Williams, and Dean Taylor.
The Royals have made their pick! J.J. Picollo gets congratulations from the baseball operations staff, including National Supervisor Junior Vizcaino.

Madison, WI—In response to the Russian credit union system's request for short-term training opportunities, World Council of Credit Unions (WOCCU), the Russian Credit Union League (RCUL) and the Louisiana Credit Union League (LCUL) began a 10-day training program in New Orleans' French Quarter on Monday for eight credit union executives and board members from across Russia.
LCUL staff, in conjunction with the league's education department, are presenting topics this week that include credit union regulation, board governance, corporate credit union structure, marketing, strategic planning, security, member services and internal audit training. As part of the workshop's unifying theme on the types of services leagues provide, the Russian visitors also had the opportunity to join 100 other credit union professionals at the East/West Orleans Chapter Meeting on Tuesday. They will be attending a function Thursday evening in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, as part of a joint Louisiana/Mississippi Supervisory Committee Training program.
Anne Cochran, LCUL President and CEO and lead organizer of the training, set the tone on Monday by sharing her insight and experience in providing league services.
"We are honored to have this group in Louisiana to share our expertise with them as they continue growing the credit union movement in their country," Cochran said. "Establishing consistent, accurate policies and procedures lays the foundation for a strong movement in Russia and Eastern Europe over the long term. We've shared LCUL's vision with them and have worked hard to develop a curriculum that will provide valuable information they can implement in Russia to make their credit unions successful for many years to come."
John Kalfayan, WOCCU Senior Manager of Technical Services who has been working closely with RCUL to develop a long-term training program in Russia, will be leading sessions on financial management and the PEARLS financial monitoring system together with Peteris Zeltins, WOCCU MIS Officer.
Credit unions in Russia use basic accounting software but lack cohesive financial management tools. WOCCU and RCUL have collaborated on translating the PEARLS system into Russian and incorporating Eastern European accounting methods. The short-term training in Louisiana provides a testing ground for expanding PEARLS throughout Russia. "The training not only serves to meet the immediate needs of a diverse group of RCUL members, but it will also help the league better tailor its training curriculum for credit union managers and board members throughout Russia," Kalfayan pointed out. "LCUL's hospitality and expertise bring RCUL a great step forward along its roadmap to strengthen and unify the Russian credit union system."
Kalfayan noted that the LCUL workshops expand on training that the California Credit Union League offered to a group of credit union executives from Siberia last November.
Cochran, who has been working with WOCCU and RCUL to develop a permanent training program in Russia, will be a presenter at the upcoming Eastern European Technical Congress, September 10-12, in Moscow.

A fantastic way to amplify acoustic guitar!
The Seymour Duncan SA-6 Mag Mic is an acoustic pickup that begs the question: "Why mix a magnetic pickup with a microphone?" Because, the magnetic pickup senses the guitar strings' vibrations while the mic accurately reproduces the complex and rich character of the acoustic guitar's tone. Blended together, the result is the most natural-sounding, 3-dimensional soundhole pickup. The Seymour Duncan Mag Mic is the first active, humbucking, magnetic soundhole pickup ever created. The SA-6 features a blend circuit and adjustable pole pieces--2 for each string. It uses Seymour Duncan's patented, hum-cancelling stack design to eliminate 60-cycle hum. Permanent or temporary installation is a snap, and the sound is amazing. Deep, rich lows; percussive mids; and shimmering highs. The SA-6 pickup accurately duplicates and amplifies your acoustic guitar's entire sound spectrum. The Mag Mic gets up to 500 hours continuous operation from a single standard 9V battery. You can attach N-size battery clips directly to the Mag Mic pickup for a completely self-contained unit.
- First pickup of its kind
- Blend circuit
- Adjustable pole pieces
- Pattern: omni-directional
- Sensitivity: -35dB
- S/N ratio: 62dB
- Frequency range: 20Hz-20kHz

REVIEW SNAPSHOT®by PowerReviews

Comments about Seymour Duncan SA-6 Mag Mic Active Acoustic Guitar Pickup:
The humbucker has a nice warm rhythm sound with good sustain (more bass than highs, though EQ takes care of that). Not muddy at all. Very warm sound, suitable for jazz or ska if you wanted. Don't plan on playing any metal with it, though it can handle a little distortion. The condenser mic accurately produces the guitar's sound, though it tends to feed back when played too loud through my fender Princeton chorus electric amp. It sound sweet through my Fender Passport PA system. I'm guessing the Princeton feeds back more the speakers project alot more ringing highs high's than the passport, which the mic "hears" because of it's excellent frequency response. You shouldn't have any trouble running this through a PA, though I may be concerned running it through 'acoustic' amps that are optimized for piezo pickups. Using the SA-6 with a passport, I was able to crank up the mic to near room-shaking volume with the speaker 3 feet away without feedback. The passport (standard) doesn't project alot of highs. The pickup without EQ and the mic all the way up has a great solo unplugged sound for either strumming or picking. I find, though, when I need to kick up the volume and play over bass and drums, I have to back off on the mic and boost the highs on the humbucker. However, rather than do this, I mix in the piezo already installed on my guitar. Combine this thing with a piezo (with the piezo's mid's scooped out of the picture, highs boosted slightly) and now the guitar sings. Run the mixed signal through a Presonus compressor, and now it's ready for the studio. I'm playing a $300 Hohner acoustic electric with shadow electronics. The guitar has an excellent sound. It's not a Taylor, but it plays better than many $600-$1000 guitars I've played. I was looking for a pickup that would reproduce the acoustic sound, something I could plug straight into PA's of varying quality. I would take the setup I have now over any acoustic electric I've yet played under $2000. The pickup is well worth the cost, and played through a decent PA, will accurately reproduce (if I may use the industry buzzwords) the "subtle nuances" of your acoustic guitar. If you have the cash to spend, this pickup is definitely worth it. Note that the pickup outputs a mono signal into a TRS jack. I was able to run my Piezo through the ring channel on the SA6's TRS jack, so now I have a pretty versatile system.

Good fundamental improvements score, cheap on Enterprise value to Book basis, not expensive on other measures
new mgmt;new program;new business with funding
This company will underperform long term because it seems more interested in cooking the gradebooks than actually educating teachers. Check out this email from the TN virtual academy ordering teachers to gin up better grades for students. http://www.newschannel5.com/category/257004/tennessee-virtual-academy-email
Defenders of the company look at this clear attempt to manipulate grades as some kind of virtue by allegedly grading students on where they are rather than where they have been but they teachers are clearly ordered to give extra work in the later period to allow students to move their grades up, which suggests to me that the idea is to push through a bunch of easy stuff, base the grade on that, and gin up higher scores.
If a public school pulled something this brazen, there would be no end of screaming about crooked teachers, administrators, unions, etc. For some reason, and underperforming for-profit gets a pass plus a pat on the back. But I doubt that lasts forever.
There are too many articles coming out now that show how badly these online schools actually perform, and given the fact that they often cost states MORE per student than traditional schools, it'll be tough to keep up the ruse for long.
We will have to watch this one very close, but if they perform to the potential of this market place; Growth could be unlimited. Competition might be fierce in the long run.
troubles with cost control, many quarters of missed expectations - doesn't sound like effective management. maybe K12 pulls it together eventually, but i'l wager it isn't anytime soon.
If it's overpriced, it's overpriced.
Fool pick for 2012
prices back to almost 7months ago. Thank you US government! The cut in budgets will actually benefit this company.
Uses technology to improve delivery of quality education
Bringing the classroom to people via the internet and pioneering the new frontiers of education. This company is going to be a big part of the future of teaching/learning.
hopefully the teacher's union isn't going to flex political muscle to schwack this.
Public education continues to underwhelm parents academically, socially and morally. However, private school education is out of reach for most. Those highly educated, top earning parents who make too much money to get private school aid but can't afford 30k per year are a prime market for K12.
As Rupert Murdoch quite rightly said at this years G8 education is the last holdup in the Internet market. I believe he is right. Right now the notion of full fledged education via the web sounds a little uncomfortable to parents but then so did buying flights via the web 10 years ago and now everyone is doing it. It's mearly a matter of the slow pace of acceptance that underlies cultural change.
I earned a Master's degree online a couple of years ago. I see plenty of potential for this at the K-12 level, as something to help with home schooling. American public schools are awful, and online learning may help those who wish to escape it. Consider this a long-term investment.
I think this is a revolutionary product that will change education.
This is a small/mid cap high growth stock that should outperform the S&P during the bull market.
Rule Breaker pick
What a shameless fact free plug--oblivious to the mountain of poor historical data on for profit education companies---states everywhere cutting back--im sure this is not on anyone's radar--this is really the lowest I have ever seen TMF go.

Moss, Marshall teaming up for high school camp
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (AP) — Randy Moss is teaming up with Marshall football coach Doc Holliday to hold a two-day camp for area high schools players this summer.
The separate camps will be held June 19 and 20 at Marshall's football stadium in Huntington. The cost is $15 per player.
Each day of the camp will involve a tournament-style competition pitting teams of seven players. It's aimed at enhancing passing games and the development of offensive and defensive lines.
Moss is a Rand native who starred at Marshall in 1996 and 1997. He played in the NFL for 14 seasons with five teams, retiring after the 2012 season.

Industry Advisor by George Slusser
RISMEDIA, December 18, 2009—"Adversity causes some men to break and others to break records" is a quote by William Ward that I believe is quite appropriate for our current market. We have a number of companies and agents doing quite well in what many consider difficult times.
This is not our first challenging market. When I started in the business in 1980, we had 18+% interest rates and less than two million homes sold nationally compared with four-plus million this year. Many did not survive that downturn or subsequent ones.
That brings me to another important point. Many brokers that should have sold during the mergers-and-acquisitions boom of a few years ago are now not able to because their company's value has decreased dramatically. Assuming you agree the market will stay flat for at least 12-18 months, how are those companies going to increase profitability so they can be in a position to sell for a profit at some point in the next three-to-five years?
In the 1980s and through today, profitable and sustainable companies all possess:
-Great leadership—positive, encouraging and consistent
-A willingness to make tough, but fair, decisions
-A strong, well-articulated and balanced value proposition
-"Rainy day" financial reserves
-Lower-than-average occupancy costs
-Higher-than-average volume per desk
-Higher-than-average variable costs vs. fixed costs
-Marginal profit even at lower transaction velocity
-Laser focus on improving market share, the only true economic variable a company can control
-Managing expenses, but always spending a majority of time driving top-line revenue opportunities
Profitability does not appear to be related to your brand, market size or brokerage model, even though these are all important. Profitability is all about achieving balance and being true to your model.
An example of a company model would be a high agent-compensation model. This can be profitable if the brokerage is providing an appropriate level of support for the company dollar derived. The agent is receiving fair tools and services for the compensation they receive or fees charged. In turn, the broker must be allowed to retain a fair profit for the services provided. Obviously, fairness is in the eye of the beholder, but if the equation is slanted too far in either direction, neither will prosper for long.
Many of the companies that exited the business, or will soon, are severely flawed in their balance. Because of their generally high fixed-overhead expenses, combined with high agent compensation, their model is sustainable only with high transaction velocity.
As with every industry, we must better manage our ability to adjust to market cycles. I believe many companies can emerge from this market "reinvented," combining a strong agent/client value proposition and scalable marginal income. The time to change is now.
History will repeat itself and lessons can be learned but hopefully not forgotten. Did I mention my profitability themes above were first presented over 25 years ago during the beginning of another difficult period?

The shoulder strap on this suit is way too long, like 4-5 inches or more! I would have had to alter it to keep it. The suit did not seem to have the structure to keep it looking good being strapless, essentially.

Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee
February 6 marked the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II's 60 year reign starting in 1952. To read about the Diamond Jubilee celebrations click here. Recent biographies written about the Queen include: Elizabeth the Queen: The Life of a Modern Monarch by noted biographer Sally Bedell Smith. Smith follows the young princess as a student to a love-struck teen (after meeting Philip) through her current reign. This is a well-written and engrossing account of a Queen that successfully balances royal tradition and modernity. Another title, The Real Elizabeth : an intimate portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, takes on the subject of the role of the monarchy itself specifically under her auspices over the past 60 years and how it has changed over time. And do not forget, her royal consort, Prince Philip, who has served by her side (and one step behind her). There is a recent biography, Prince Philip : the turbulent early life of the man who married Queen Elizabeth II that focuses on his turbulent childhood as his family is exiled from Greece (where he was born) to his mother's schizophrenia and his father leaving him at an early age in order to live with his mistress. His charm and good looks eventually win him the hand of the-then Princess Elizabeth for whom he renounces his titles, religion and even family. A storybook romance indeed! To read more about their life together, read Philip and Elizabeth : portrait of a royal marriage. Movies about her include Helen Mirren's outstanding portrayal in the Queen and the British TV show, Queen : a dramatic portrait of one of the world's most powerful women, as well as several documentaries including Windsors, a royal family.

Treaty Room
Washington, DC
May 10, 2010
SECRETARY CLINTON: Well, I'm delighted to welcome the prime minister back to Washington. We had very productive meetings last time when he was here. We continue to support the efforts for reform and positive changes inside Zimbabwe. And of course, the prime minister has played a major role in attempting to move his country on the right path. So again, welcome, Prime Minister.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you very much. Good to see you.
PRIME MINISTER TSVANGIRAI: Good to see you again.
QUESTION: Mr. Prime Minister, how important or how significant is it that Roy Bennett was acquitted today?
PRIME MINISTER TSVANGIRAI: Well, it's good news. It's very positive. As I've always said, he's not being prosecuted; he's being persecuted. So I hope that the persecution has ended.
QUESTION: But there are many other steps needed to restore confidence in the unity government, right?
PRIME MINISTER TSVANGIRAI: Obviously, obviously. There's more to do.
QUESTION: Thank you very much.
SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you.
PRIME MINISTER TSVANGIRAI: Thank you.

This week marks the 35th anniversary of the Rolling Stones' 1978 blockbuster, Some Girls. The album, which was competing on the charts and turntables around the globe with breakthrough punk and disco records, was able to absorb the musical influence of what was going down in the clubs and the streets of New York City and become the first album in years to drastically redefine the Stones' sound. It also featured the band's first chart-topper since 1973's "Angie" — the disco-based monster summer hit and instant classic, "Miss You, which remains the Stones' last chart-topper to date.
Check out this classic video:
The album's followup single to "Miss You" — "Beast Of Burden" — peaked at Number Eight, with the third and final single, "Shattered," stalling at Number 31. Mick Jagger explained that "Shattered" — like most of Some Girls — picked up on the key musical movements happening in London and New York City: ["It's kind of, like, a punk beat with this guitar riff that Keith does, and me — sort of what I do is a semi-rap thing. It's sort of half talking in it. So, I was obviously very influenced by that. But I think this record is a good synthesis of all those kind of things that were going on at the time."
- Although Some Girls had some obvious punk influences on songs like "Respectable" and "Lies," Jagger feels that it had a much broader pallet than just the sound of the gutter: ["Inevitably, you live in the time you're in. And you couldn't possibly avoided the whole thing, of the feeling of that. . . of those years. I mean the years before that. I think it's more in the playing than the writing — I mean, I think a bit of both. But having said that, of course you can say that and then you can turn around say (laughs) 'Yeah, but you did this country song that was really. . . you did this straight country song, and then this dance song ' — which is 'Miss You,' which had nothing to do with punk. Couldn't be more different."
- Highlights on the album include "Miss You," "Beast Of Burden," "Far Away Eyes," "Respectable," "Before They Make Me Run," and their cover of the Temptations' "Just My Imagination (Running Away With Me)," among others.
- Some Girls, which was released on June 9th, 1978 and marked the first studio album to feature Ron Wood as a full time member of the band, was recorded between October 1977 and March 1978 at Paris' EMI's Pathe Marconi Studios.
- The album hit Number One on July 15th, 1978 and topped the Billboard 200 album chart for two weeks. It has sold over six million copies to date.
- Some Girls' lead single, "Miss You," topped the charts for one week starting on August 5th, 1978.
- In 2011 the Stones released a deluxe reissue of Some Girls featuring a dozen vault tracks — some of which were recently completed by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, and producer Don Was, along with a DVD — Some Girls, Live In Texas '78. The concert was filmed on July 18th, 1978 in Forth Worth, Texas at the Will Rogers Memorial Center.

With as fast as time flies, making plans for retirement is something that shouldn't be put off.
Even if we know we need to plan for retirement, we often fail to act, because we're simply not sure where to begin or how to invest.
Here are some simple steps you can take to start saving:
1. Be sure to know your company's retirement plan. Do they offer a 401k? Find out if your employer matches employee contributions and to what percentage? Then make sure you contribute at least what your company will match. Anything less is turning down free money for your future.
2. Consider alternative retirement savings methods like an IRA account. Most financial institutions offer IRA accounts. Individual retirement accounts are specifically designed for retirement savings, and they are a great way to begin saving for your golden years.
3. Speak with a financial service representative about your desire to save for retirement. There are different types of IRAs, and each one has its own benefits. Work with that representative to create a plan that works for you.
3. Set up automatic transfers to contribute to your IRA account. Automatic transfers from your savings or checking accounts can make contributing to your IRA account easy.
4. Already have an IRA account? Now is the time to check the rate you're earning and compare it to rates offered elsewhere. Be sure you're getting the BEST IRA rate available! You're allowed to move an IRA from one institution to another, and a little bit of research can help you earn more on what you have already saved. Some institutions may even offer rebates for penalty fees you incur when switching your IRA over.
Sometimes people think IRAs require a lot of cash to get started or are only for the wealthy, but this is simply not the case. Some financial institutions have IRA savings accounts that can be started with as little as $100.
The time to plan for your retirement is now. Don't wait until "tomorrow," because time is not going to slow down. Even though it may seem far away, retirement is just around the corner!

I Agree I have faith and trust in Delta and the patience to wait for her upcoming album because I also believe it will be definitly worth the wait. And wow, she looks so happy is these pictures! I'm happy for Delta.
I'm sorry but I really don't understand why everyone is complaining this much? Isn't it wonderful to get to see new Delta pictures every week? Even if she's with Nick in most of them? If she wouldn't be dating him, we probably wouldn't get to see new pictures of her this often so I reallly think you guys shouldn't be complaining about this. She seems to be very happy with Nick, and if she's happy - I think we should be happy. Cause we want her to be happy right? I really hope Delta doesn't visit this forum, cause I can imagine all these negative posts would make her very upset. I'm sorry, I really don't want to offend anyone but all that seems to be happening here lately are fans complaining about Delta's relationship with Nick and the album not being out yet. Please, just give her a break. She has been through a difficult time and she is working on it. I'm sure it will be out when it's ready. I personally don't care if it's going to take another year cause I know it will defenitely be worth the wait and I'm very grateful for all the wonderful music Delta has shared with us so far. I really think we should all appreciate that!
Edit: THANKS for posting those pictures Artin

Jun 5, 2010 7:55:49 GMT -5 Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by amodoko on Jun 5, 2010 7:55:49 GMT -5 Just got my first scooter, and like many states, Missouri doesn't require you to register your scooter, get insurance, get a Motorcycle endorsement, or wear a helmet if it's a 50cc scooter. But it also can't have more than 3 horsepower, and it can't be able to physically go above 30mph on flat ground.The thing is my stock scooter is 50cc, has 3.2 hp, and can go 43mph on flat surfaces (according to my speedometer). So really, it's illegal to drive it without insurance, registration, motorcycle endorsement, and helmet. But after looking into, almost all scooters go above 30mph, or at least a ton of them do. You think I'll have trouble with the law? Has anyone here been ticketed for not registering your 50cc scooter simply because it can go above 30mph? I just don't know if I should be worried about it.


text: 12 true tales of creepy NSA cyberstalking Politics 27 September 13 by Kevin Poulsen In 2005, a military member used his first day of access to run six e-mail addresses belonging to an ex-girlfriendYouTube The NSA has released some details of 12 incidents in which analysts used their access to America's high-tech surveillance infrastructure to spy on girlfriends, boyfriends, and random people they met in social settings. It's a fascinating look at what happens when the impulse that drives average netizens to look up long-ago ex-lovers on Facebook is mated with the power to fire up a wiretap with a few keystrokes.One such analyst working on foreign soil started surveillance on nine phone numbers belonging to women over five years, from 1998 to 2003. He "listened to collected phone conversations," according to a letter from the NSA's Inspector General to Senator Charles Grassley released today. The unnamed spy conducted "call chaining" on one of the numbers -- to determine who had called, or been called from, the phone -- and then started surveillance on two of those numbers as well.He was thwarted only after a woman he was sleeping with reported her suspicions that the analyst had been listening to her phone calls. The analyst resigned.In 2011, another civilian NSA employee abroad "tasked" the telephone number of her boyfriend and other foreign nationals. When she was asked about it, she claimed it was her practice to query the phone numbers of people she met socially to make sure she wasn't talking to "shady characters". (Because you wouldn't want that.)In 2005, a military member used his first day of access to run six e-mail addresses belonging to an ex-girlfriend.Some of the abuses were referred to the Department of Justice, but none resulted in prosecution. All 12 incidents can be found here. This story orginially apeared on Wired.com Latest on wired.co.uk

It should be obvious that the CIAC should have a catholic conference state chanpionship and let the true public schools, that can't recruit players, play for a public school championship.
This was as entirely suspected an outcome as any game in the tourney.
Credit StJHS for finally "outing" New Canaan.
I know NC will garner votes, despite the soft schedule , too many D2 and D3 games (never played Prep). They ended up being paper Rams.
The fact is that the only team Prep feared, lost to and was played, essentially even in the REAL biggest game of the year, is Hamden.
Placing any other team than Prep above the Green Dragons in the totality of this Hockey season in CT would be disgraceful.
I know that the writers and others will say that 22-1 is hard to argue with.
The truth is that Hamden and Prep are about as even as two teams can get.
I'd give St Joes a nod at 4th ( over Xavier and NDWH by a hair) they still have trouble with Amity, but the top three teams in CT this year are FP, HHS and NC....in that order.
Can't wait for December !!!!!
Thanks again , Matt.
Hopefully the paper will allow you to concentrate more on hockey next season.
We missed a lot of your insight this year.
Thanks again for being our link to statewide schoolboy hockey coverage. Without your efforts most of us would never have a clue of what kind of hockey was being played around the state. Congrats to all the Division winners and to all the coaches that put in the time with our high school players.
