'Divergent' and the Class Struggle in the Classroom Library
Older Americans have long been uncomfortable talking about class, but today, young Americans are wildly interested in reading about it.
Many of the most popular young adult novels right now–including "Divergent," "The Hunger Games," and "Red Rising"–portray futuristic dystopias in which society has been divided by totalitarian rulers into sharply defined castes, factions and districts. Near the beginning of the film adaptation of "Divergent," which opened last night, one character offers a kind of social status manifesto: "The future belongs to those who know where they belong."
According to Rentrak, "Divergent" pulled in an estimated $4.9 million during special Thursday night showings yesterday.
Science fiction writers–including such authors as Ursula K. Le Guin and China Miéville–have long used stories set in the future to explore ideas about social status.
H.G. Wells's 1895 novel "The Time Machine" imagined journeying to A.D. 802,701 to find that the human race had evolved into two species–the beautiful, surface-dwelling Eloi and the ape-like, underground-dwelling Morlocks. The time traveler concludes that "it seemed as clear as daylight to me that the gradual widening of the present merely temporary and social difference between Capitalist and the Labourer, was the key to the whole position."
Books about the future are really about the present. Nobody really believes the plot of "Divergent" will come to pass, and that society will split into fancifully named factions like Dauntless, Candor and Abnegation. But the colorful storyline resonates with readers because they see seeds of similar situations now.
In recent months, global leaders ranging from President Barack Obama to Pope Francis have sought to turn the world's attention to the issue of wealth disparity. Earlier this year, The International Monetary Fund released a report that argued that wealth inequality in the U.S. and other advanced economies had returned to levels not seen since before the Great Depression, and that it was fueling political instability and possibly serving as a barrier to global economic growth.
Younger readers, picking up on the anxieties of their elders and perhaps the tenor of the times, are seeking out books that transform Occupy Wall Street-type concerns into dramatic narratives. In turn, these dystopian science fiction novels are surpercharging such issues with science fiction themes.
"Red Rising," a bestselling novel released last month, transports the class struggle to Mars, where mankind has been divided into color-coded factions, from the lower-class Reds to the ruling Golds. At the start of the book, a Gold caste member declares "All men are not created equal…The weak have deceived you. They would say the meek should inherit the Earth. That the strong should nurture the gentle. This is the Noble Lie of Demokracy."
Dystopian books can encourage cultural procrastination. By setting the stories in the future, readers feel less threatened by the problems presented in the books, and perhaps less driven to take action in their own time. Most of the buzz on Twitter about the "Divergent" movie is about its sexy young stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James and not the unsexy old topic of the factionalization of society.
"Divergent" and other such books are almost completely unconcerned with issues beyond social status. In the future they present, gender differences have been pretty much swept away, except for the fun parts, which allow for tattoo revealing love scenes.
And, at least according to these books, nobody cares much about race in the future, in part because almost every group, black, white and other, is utterly impoverished. "Decades ago, our ancestors realized that it is not political ideology, religious belief, race or nationalism that is to blame for a warring world," one character explains in "Divergent."
In July 2012, Roth had this note posted to her Tumblr: "The truth is, I often wish that I had chosen to have a darker-skinned main character in the books (so, either Tobias or Tris), but I wasn't aware of my own racial 'default setting' when I wrote Divergent, or of the severe lack of diversity in YA main characters. I have since become aware and I intend to change things up in the future."
The class struggles in some teen dystopian novels sometimes seem to hark back more to high school class struggles than anything to be found in the writings of Marx and Engels.
For decades, teen books and movies have fed off the conceit that high schools are hierarchical houses of horror, with jocks and cool kids on top, wimps and nerds on the bottom, and ordinary kids of various types muddling around the middle. In the new wave of teen dystopian fiction, high school age heroes face cliques with a sci-fi spin.
In "Red Rising," Darrow, a teenage lower-caste Red, remakes his life to ascend to power among the ruling Golds. In"The Hunger Games," Katniss "Kat" Everdeen, a poor teen from an oppressed district, becomes a symbol of the struggle to overthrow the wealthy, powerful Capitol. And in "Divergent," 16-year-old Beatrice "Tris" Prior discovers that she doesn't fit into any of the factions that have been set up by the rulers of her society, and she moves to subvert their dominance. All three heroes are faced with life-changing exams, aptitude tests, and contests along the way.
In these books, classroom struggles segue to a class struggle that never ends.
We've seen the future and it looks a lot like high school.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, Sept. 25, 2012
EVANS, Ga. -- Georgia voters head to the polls in just six weeks to cast their ballots for big decisions on the local and national level. One state issue on the ballot is the amendment involving charter schools in the state.
Supporters want to give a state board power to approve charter schools, but many local school leaders are against it, saying they deserve to control what happens in their district.
"It's really a feel good issue, choice for parents, good school choices -- everybody wants that -- but you can do that with the laws the way they are now. We don't have to amend the Georgia Constitution for that," said Columbia County Board of Education Chairperson Regina Buccafusco.
Buccafusco is ready to debate her point in a public forum next month.
"You can't make a good choice unless it's an educated choice," she said.
Many against the amendment say the real issue is that it's stripping local districts of their power.
"I'm not opposed to charter schools at all, some of them are very effective. I think they parallel public schools, some are really good and some are not really good," Buccafusco said.
Right now, local school boards control the fate of charter schools, but supporters want power given to the state, too.
"This amendment will create charter schools that are approved by a commission in Atlanta," Buccafusco said.
"Really the whole purpose of the amendment is to allow parents some kind of secondary review, if they do have a high quality application that's turned down," said Jerri Nims Rooker with The Brighter Georgia Education Coalition.
While there are only a handful of charter schools in our area, many charter schools are focused in Atlanta.
"Unfortunately, if we look at data over the past three years, local school boards have tended in some instances to turn down applications that were actually very high quality," Rooker said.
Supporters argue this gives parents more choice in their child's education.
"The voices in support are typically parents," Rooker said. "The voices we're really hearing in opposition don't tend to be parents, don't tend to be individual teachers, it tends to be superintendents and others who are at the administrative level."
This is really just the tip of the iceberg with the issue; performance comparisons and funding are other hot topics here. As we mentioned, at least one public forum is in the works for sometime next month. We will keep you updated when we have a date and time.
We expect to hear more from people on both sides of the issue as Election Day draws closer.

AbCheck pockets pharma deal
Plzen – Czech antibody discovery and development specialist AbCheck s.r.o. has signed its first contract with a big pharma company. In October, the yearling Czech spin-off from German antibody drug developer Affimed GmbH announced an antibody discovery deal with Eli Lilly and Company. Under the terms of the agreement, AbCheck will use its three antibody discovery libraries, which are comprised of 10 billion structurally diverse proteins, to deliver fully human antibodies against diverse IgM, semi-synthetic and fully synthetic library display antibodies as scFv on the surface of phage particles. Lilly will receive all rights concerning the antibodies from AbCheck, which in return will receive discovery fees and development milestones totalling an undisclosed amount, according to the contract negotiated with IP consultants from Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer. The Plzen-based antibody service company took over IP antibody discovery processes – from early stage research to lead optimisation – from Affimed, which is focussed on developing its pipeline of preclinical tetravalent monoclonal antibody drugs.

It's official. Lindsay Lohan has lost her last, best friend on the planet.
Attorney Shawn Holley -- the woman responsible for Lindsay Lohan being free to crash cars, drink too much, and punch fortune tellers -- has asked a judge to let her out of Lohan's pending criminal case, according to TMZ.
Lohan, who earlier this month fired Holley on the day her longtime attorney was scheduled to cut yet another deal to keep Lohan out of jail, has signed the documents Holley needs to escape. As it was reported earlier, New York attorney Mark Heller -- who doesn't have a license to practice law in California, where Lohan does most of her damage -- will somehow take Holley's place.
Judge Stephanie Sautner will almost certainly make the change official when Lindsay appears in court Wednesday over accusations she lied to police about her June car accident in Southern California.
But since Heller can't represent Lohan in California, he needs a California lawyer to sponsor him. According to TMZ, there is some confusion over just who will do this, and that Lohan could wind up with no lawyer at the hearing.
Wednesday's hearing could be very interesting.

I have had a Beretta A391 now for about 3 years or so and I noticed yesterday that where the shells eject from, the shells are hitting/knicking the ejection port area causing it to basically erode this area down where the shells fly out of. Wondering if any other owners/users are seeing this happening to their gun or is it just mine and I should take it in and get it looked at? I would say it has eroded this part of the ejection port probably 1/16th of an inch. Just wondering what other's have seen in regards to this. Thanks all

When I had my beretta I noticed that the ejecting or the bolt was beating the crap out of the port. I sent the gun back to beretta twice for other issues but they never seemed concerned with the ejection port. I have since sold it due to its endless malfunctions so I dont know how bad it continues to get.

A lot of times it just comes down to poor engineering. There are only a very few autos that are near flawless.
Like Flannel said, you can contact Beretta, but it might come down to if it still cycles your shells, just keep going.

Well, probably most of the time, it's comes down to personal experience----my opinion is the Beretta 390,
and Benelli SBE2----just my choice. Many competition shooters will trust nothing but the original 390.

The Star-Spangled Banner
On September 7, 1814, Francis Scott Key visited the British fleet in Maryland's Chesapeake Bay to secure the release of his friend Dr. William Beanes. The elderly physician had been taken prisoner when the British invaded Washington, setting fire to several government buildings, including the U.S. Capitol, White House and Treasury Department.
Beanes' release was secured, but he and Key were held by the British during the shelling of Fort McHenry, the principal fort defending Baltimore. On the morning of September 14, 1814, after the 25-hour British bombardment of Fort McHenry, Key peered through the clearing smoke to see a 42-foot by 30-foot American flag flying proudly over it.
He was so inspired by the sight of the enormous flag that he wrote a verse he named "The Defence of Fort McHenry" to commemorate the occasion. He also included a note that it should be sung to the tune of the popular British melody "To Anacreon in Heaven." Within a month, the words had been published in papers along the eastern seaboard. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson ordered that the anthem, which had been popularly renamed the "The Star-Spangled Banner," be played at military and naval ceremonies. On March 3, 1931, President Herbert Hoover signed a resolution passed by Congress that officially designated "The Star-Spangled Banner" as the U.S. National Anthem.
Star-Spangled Banner Commemorative Coin Act
The Star-Spangled Banner Commemorative Coin Act (Public Law 111-232), signed into law on August 16, 2010, requires the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue up to 100,000 gold $5 coins and 500,000 silver $1 coins in commemoration of the bicentennial of the writing of our national anthem. According to the law, the designs shall be emblematic of the War of 1812, particularly the Battle of Baltimore that formed the basis for the lyrics of "The Star—Spangled Banner."
Surcharges collected from sales of the 2012 Star-Spangled Banner Commemorative Coins—$35 for each gold coin and $10 for each silver coin—are authorized to be paid to the Maryland War of 1812 Bicentennial Commission. The commission will use these funds to support its bicentennial activities, educational outreach, and preservation and improvement of the sites and structures related to the War of 1812.
Coin Designs
Gold Five-Dollar Coin
The obverse (heads side) design of the 2012 Star-Spangled Banner Commemorative Gold Five-Dollar Coin is emblematic of the theme "The Battles at Sea During the War of 1812." It depicts a naval battle scene from the War of 1812, with an American sailing ship in the foreground and a damaged and fleeing British ship in the background. Inscriptions are IN GOD WE TRUST, LIBERTY and 1812 — 2012.
The reverse (tails) design is emblematic of the theme "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the song). It depicts the first words of the Star-Spangled Banner anthem, O say can you see, in Francis Scott Key's handwriting against a backdrop of 15 stars and 15 stripes, representing the Star-Spangled Banner flag. Inscriptions are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM and FIVE DOLLARS.
Silver Dollar
The obverse (heads side) design of the 2012 Star-Spangled Banner Commemorative Silver Dollar is emblematic of the theme "The Battle of Baltimore at Fort McHenry." It depicts Lady Liberty waving the 15-star, 15-stripe Star-Spangled Banner flag with Fort McHenry in the background. Inscriptions are LIBERTY, IN GOD WE TRUST and 2012.
The reverse (tails) design is emblematic of the theme "The Star-Spangled Banner" (the flag). It depicts a waving modern American flag. Inscriptions are ONE DOLLAR, E PLURIBUS UNUM and UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
All four 2012 Star-Spangled Banner Commemorative Coin designs were approved by the Department of the Treasury on November 3, 2011, at the recommendation of the United States Mint, after consultation with the Maryland War of 1812 Bicentennial Commission and the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, as well as review by the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee.

RANDOLPH – Gifford Medical Center is launching a Caregiver Support Group this November.
Open to anyone caring for a family member or loved one, the group meets on the second Tuesday of each month from 11 a.m. to noon in the Randolph hospital's Conference Center.
The group is participant-driven with members deciding how the meetings will be designed, choosing a facilitator and picking discussion topics. Samantha Medved, a licensed social worker and behavioral health specialist at Gifford, will also work with the group, providing ongoing support.
"Caregivers invest so much of themselves – both physically and mentally – into caring for others. This group is an opportunity to have time away to deal with the normal range of emotions all caregivers experience, by gaining support from peers experiencing similar issues," Medved said.
The group is offered as part of Gifford's efforts through the Vermont Blueprint for Health. No registration is required. Medved and the Blueprint team can be reached at 728-7100, ext. 6, with any questions.
The Gifford Conference Center is in the main medical center at 44 S. Main St. (Route 12) in Randolph. From patient parking, the Conference Center entrance is marked with a green awning. For handicapped accessibility, take the elevator from the main lobby to the first floor and follow signs to the Conference Center.

Product Technologies and Benefits:
- Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge's job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what "makes or breaks" the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.

Minnie Driver Gossip
Minnie Driver gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Minnie & The Scenemakers
Every day I scan the photo agencies, see if there are any interesting shots from the night before. Last night there was a party happening at Chateau Marmont called "Express and Vogue Celebrate The Scenemakers". Which, naturally, means that no one there was actually a scenemaker. There were some Twilight people. Full Story
BAFTA Minnie Driver
Written by Duana Prevailing wisdom says Minnie – who has had a series of ridiculously hard knocks in the romance department, but who works steadily if not flashily – can act. I don't doubt it's the case. I have yet to see Barney's Version, mostly because to a person, everyone I've asked has said "I really want to finish (read: Start) the book first. Full Story
TIFF 2010: Style Trends
Written by Sasha TIFF is finally over and if I hear someone say "TIFF' again I might have to sew their mouth shut. Sorry, it's been a long ass week and I'm feeling fragile. But as promised, here's my guide for a few things to look out for this season. All in all, the red carpet attire was pretty boresville-- no major couture moments, no jaw droppers. Full Story

Minnie after baby
Minnie Driver gave birth to her Henry Story a month ago. Don't lie… I know you want to see what she looks like now. We're girls. It's what we do. This is Minnie yesterday headed out for a walk, a better example of how not to become pin thin immediately after pregnancy like all the other idiot twats in town. Full Story
Prettier than Ever
Minnie Driver today on the NY set of Motherhood starring Uma Thurman – lovely makeup, hair beautifully blown out… she's never looked prettier. Will always think of her fondly from Good Will Hunting. It's one of those movies I always watch if I come across it on tv on a Sunday. Full Story

We are interested in how malaria parasites acquire nutrients and other essential solutes from the human bloodstream. Our studies have identified two unusual ion channels that play a central role in trafficking solutes between serum and parasite compartments. One of these channels, the plasmodial surface anion channel (PSAC), is exposed on the infected erythrocyte surface and is generally recognized as an important drug target.
Significant accomplishments include the following:
Our work was highlighted with the first animated cover of a major biological sciences journal. The animation is accessible from the print journal using a smart phone with a downloaded QR code reader. Click the journal cover image below to view the 3-D animation on YouTube.

Leaving On a Jet Plane
I am getting ready to head to Manila, Philippines for the first ever International Autism Conference (IAC) to be held in that country and the largest to be held in that region. It is being organized by the Autism Hearts Foundation and Autism Hearts Philippines and among the sponsors is Autism Speaks.
Medical experts from around the world will be onsite to present the most current research and information on diagnosis, assessment and treatments of ASD, as well as to review current policies to create a baseline from which to support individuals on the spectrum and their families. I am attending to present on autism awareness along with two of my colleagues from the science team – Andy Shih, Ph.D. and Michael Rosanoff, MPH.
The conference will also launch the Global Autism Public Health initiative in the Philippines (GAPH Philippines), a partnership between the Autism Hearts Foundation and Autism Speaks. The GAPH focuses on increasing public and professional awareness of ASD; increasing research expertise and international collaboration through training of autism researchers, with a focus on epidemiology, screening and early diagnosis, and treatment, and enhancing service delivery by providing training and expertise to service providers in early diagnosis and intervention.
Stay tuned later on next week for an update. The conference runs Feb. 3-5 and I hope to be able to post at least one or two recaps. I will also be tweeting if anyone wants to follow me at twitter.com/dmarnane!
By Dana Marnane, National Director Communications and Marketing, Autism Speaks

Related Media: LASIK
Vision problems are common. It used to be that glasses or contact lenses were the only option. Today, eye surgery has the potential to correct vision without these visual aids.
When you look at an object, the light the object reflects is bent or refracted through the cornea—the clear layer that forms the front window of the eye—and then through the lens, to land on the retina. The nerve endings in the retina send signals through the optic nerve to the brain, where the image is recognized.
The most common eye problems result from refractive errors caused by poorly focused light waves. This can be due to a misshaped eyeball, cornea, or lens. The four basic types of errors are:
Making light rays focus on the retina properly will reduce refractive error. Traditionally, glasses and contact lenses correct the error and enhance vision. Today, more and more people are opting for refractive surgery. By changing the shape of the cornea, which is responsible for most of the eye's focusing power, refractive surgery can decrease or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses. It cannot, however, improve vision beyond what glasses or contacts were able to accomplish. Below are the most common types of refractive surgery.
PRK reduces refractive error by sculpting the surface of the cornea using a laser. It may be used in people with:
It will take a couple of days for the epithelium to regrow over the cornea. For the first few weeks, your vision may fluctuate between clear and blurry. Functional vision returns in six weeks, and vision stabilizes over the next six months.
uses the same laser as PRK, but adds an additional step that allows the treatment of more significant refractive errors with less postoperative pain and faster visual recovery. For this reason, it has become the most widely performed of the refractive surgeries. It may be used in people with:
Removing the tissue on the inside of the cornea changes its shape, which reduces the refractive error.
It can take up to three to six months to for your vision to stabilize.
Other procedures that are being used more commonly include:
If you are considering refractive surgery, be sure that your surgeon explains all possibilities to you and gives you a convincing reason why the proposed procedure is best for you.
As with any medical procedure, there are risks involved with refractive surgery. Some risks and possible complications include:
Not all people with refractive errors are good candidates for refractive surgery. Talk with your doctor to determine what line of treatment is right for you.

ingredient information
Turkey Roast
Turkey is a large, widely domesticated North American bird with white plumage and a bare, wattled head and neck. The name turkey was originally applied to an African bird now known as the guinea fowl, which was believed to have originated in Turkey. When the Europeans came upon the American turkey, they thought it was the same bird as the African guinea fowl, and so gave it the name turkey, although the two species are quite distinct. Turkey is low in fat and high in protein. It is an inexpensive source of iron, zinc, phosphorus, potassium and B vitamins. Did you ever wonder why the breast and wings of chickens and turkeys have white meat while the legs and thighs are dark? The explanation is a physiological one involving the function of muscles, which gives some insight into humans as well as animals. The dark coloration is not due to the amount of blood in muscles but rather to a specific muscle type and it's ability to store oxygen.

Originally founded in 1967 as the Teachers Institute in Liberal Education, the Graduate Institute seeks to preserve a commitment to the education of teachers as a special part of its mission. The Graduate Institute therefore offers special grants to educators.
Additionally, the Graduate Institute offers low-interest loans through the Stafford Loan Program, which are awarded on the basis of need. In recent years, at least 50% of the students in the Graduate Institute have qualified for some form of financial assistance. St. John's grants are applicable only to tuition, while loans may be used to cover living expenses as well.
This grant is need-based and offers a minimum grant of $500 and a maximum grant equal to 50% of tuition for those with demonstrated need. To apply a student must complete the FAFSA, the Teacher Grant Application, and obtain a letter from their Headmaster or Principal verifying employment. A minimum of one year of full-time teaching experience is required to qualify for the grant.
Graduate Institute Teacher's Grant Application
This grant provides a one-third tuition waiver and is not need-based. It is available to students working in education as teachers, administrators, professors, and curriculum developers. The National Educator's Grant Application and a letter verifying employment are necessary to apply. A minimum of three years of full-time teaching experience is required to qualify for the grant.
National Educator's Grant Application
National Educator's Grant Brochure

In which we review a feel good film for a change.
10. Maniac & The Act of Killing
The only two films this year that nearly had me take a shower when they were over. One a remake of the 1980 cult classic the other a documentary that employs powerful reenactments of historical violent culls in the Philippines to reconcile the personal delusions of the perpetrators. Bonus points to Maniac for best opening horror sequence of the year.

Many Kids' Cereals Loaded With Sugar: Report
Dec. 7, 2011 -- If you think giving your child cereal for breakfast ensures a healthy start to the day, check the label.
Many kids' cereals are loaded with sugar, according to a new report that looked at 84 cereals.
"In our study, three cereals have more sugar than a Twinkie,'' says Paul Pestano, MS, a research analyst at the Environmental Working Group, which issued the report. ''Forty-four others have more sugar in one cup than three Chips Ahoy cookies."
The Twinkie-equivalent cereals are Kellogg's Honey Smacks, Post Golden Crisp, and General Mills Wheaties FUEL, according to the EWG report. Honey Smacks is nearly 56% sugar by weight, Pestano says. That's more than double the maximum recommended by voluntary federal guidelines.
The study is titled "Sugar in Children's Cereals: Popular Brands Pack More Sugar Than Snack Cakes and Cookies."
In response, cereal makers say they have reduced sugar content in some products, giving people a choice.
Kids' Cereals: Study Focus
Overall, just one in four of the cereals evaluated meet the voluntary guidelines on sugar proposed earlier this year by a panel of federal nutrition scientists and marketing experts. The panel, the Interagency Working Group on Food Marketed to Children, was convened by Congress in response to the childhood obesity epidemic. One in five U.S. children is obese.
The panel has proposed that children's cereal contain no more than 26% added sugar by weight. (It also has guidelines about sodium, saturated fat, and whole-grain content.) Industry guidelines allow more sugar, up to 38% by weight.
Breakfasts high in sugar have been linked with poorer attention and school performance.
Others on the ''worst'' list and their sugar content:
- Kellogg's Froot Loops Marshmallow, 48.3% sugar
- Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch OOPS! All Berries, 46.9%
- Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch Original, 44.4%
- Quaker Oats Oh!s, 44.4%
- Kellogg's Smorz, 43.3%
- Kellogg's Apple Jacks, 42.9%
- Quaker Oats Cap'n Crunch's Crunch Berries, 42.3%
- Kellogg's Froot Loops (Original), 41.4%
Kids' Cereals: Healthier Options
Cereals making the EWG "best" list meet guidelines on sugar and other ingredients. These cereals also are free of pesticides and genetically modified ingredients. Most are lesser-known manufacturers:
- Ambrosial Granola: Athenian Harvest Muesli
- Go raw: Live Granola, Live Chocolate Granola, and Simple Granola
- Grandy Oats: Mainely Maple Granola, Cashew Raisin Granola, and Swiss-Style Muesli
- Kaia Foods: Buckwheat Granola Dates & Spices, and Buckwheat Granola Raisin Cinnamon
- Laughing Giraffe: Cranberry Orange Granola
- Lydia's Organics: Apricot Sun, Berry Good, Grainless Apple, Sprouted Cinnamon, and Vanilla Crunch
- Nature's Path Organic: Optimum Banana Almond, Optimum Cranberry Ginger, Corn Puffs, Kamut Puffs, Millet Puffs, and Rice Puffs
Six major-brand kids' cereals got a "good" rating because they meet the federal guidelines on sugar, sodium, saturated fat, and whole grain content:.
- Kellogg's Mini-Wheats -- Unfrosted Bite-Size, Frosted Big Bite, Frosted Bite-Size and Frosted Little Bite
- General Mills Cheerios (Original)
- General Mills Kix (Original)

Lauderdale County's elections, still weeks away, are not without controversy. A judge removed a local man from the 2011 ballot in the District 2 justice court judge's race.
There were two issues for the court to decide involving candidate Eddie Gray Holt, his criminal record and residency.
"All saints have a past and every sinner has a future," said Holt.
Holt said in 2003 he was convicted of conspiracy to uttering forgery, which is a felony. But it turns out it's not one of the felony convictions that would prevent a Mississippian from running for justice court judge or from voting.
The judge ruled that Holt couldn't run because he hadn't met the residency requirement of living in Lauderdale County for two years prior to the election. He cited the fact that Holt was also registered to vote in Alabama and he had filed a lawsuit as a resident of Alabama. Holt says he can't argue with those facts, but does want other convicted felons to know that, depending on their conviction, they may be considered a qualified elector.
"I will not be appealing the judge's decision, I think it was fair," said Holt.
"It shows how one man can make a difference," he said. "But what I was doing based on my own research was running for a position. And I think if people want to choose me, and knowing about me, because we have judges now across the state that have been convicted of a felony."
"He found that conviction would not disqualify him for running for the office of justice of the peace," said Bill Ready, Sr., attorney for the Lauderdale County Election Commission.
Ready also agrees that the ruling was fair and cleared up a common misconception.
"He has brought to light something which was not in the sunlight," said ready. "And I think you have to give great credit to Judge Williamson for that."

Product Details
The Origin is Unity's true twin park board. They are traditional camber boards. Completely symmetrical in both shape and flex and feature a centered stance. The Origin is perfect for hitting huge park jumps or boosting in the pipe.
This year the Origin features unidirectional fiber pads that run side to side under the binding area. This makes for fiber strands that run opposite to the tip to tail fibers creating enhanced reinforcements under each foot. The added strength reduces the possibility of the binding breaking the board from extrmeme impacts that often occure when riding the park.
This is the board choice for Unity riders: Zack Black, Dylan Bidez and JJ Thomas.

We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.
