The brightest man-made light in the sky is scheduled to make a spectacular appearance across the skies of Hawke's Bay this Saturday.
Like many avid sky-watchers, Napier astronomer Gary Sparks is looking forward to seeing the overhead passing of the international space station and said, weather willing, it would be impossible to miss.
"It will be a really bright pass - this is a magnitude -3.3 and they don't get much brighter than that," Mr Sparks said.
"It will appear out of the northwest at 8.45pm and pass directly overhead at 8.48pm - it will be visible for another three minutes after that."
At this stage the prospects of getting a good view of the space station are not too bad with the Metservice long-range forecast for the Bay being mainly fine but partly cloudy with light winds.
The last bright and directly overhead passing of the station, which orbits the earth 15 times every day at an altitude of 370km, was on July 13 last year.
Its mere six-minute appearance underlines the pace at which it is travelling. At 27,600km/h, or 7.7km/h a second, it would cover the distance between Napier and Hastings in just under three seconds. There are six crew aboard, with the group of three who went aboard last September set to return to earth later this month. The second group of three, are scheduled to return in early May. Mr Sparks said like last year, astronomers were likely to be joined by anyone with a good camera in trying to grab shots of the passing.

Around 20 december or a bit before that.
does anybody knw whn the wii zapper is comin out in the uk? by any chance?
Around 20 december or a bit before that.
Tip of the day:
A big mistake a lot of you make is that wiiware games will be free.
Wiiware is just the same like the virtual console. Its different in that it offers new games instead of old console games.
I can think of some easy games ( Like tetris and some other in that direction ) that can be free but the majority will cost money.
you wouldn't happen to know when it comes out in the us because if im not mistaken doesn't MOHH 2 come out on the 6th of nov and then Resident evil comes out the following week on the 13th but i haven't seen any thing about when the Zapper was coming out yet.
Don't Be A Fan Boy Its Not Benaficial
December 7th confirmed.
The zapper games kept getting delayed till after the Zapper release/
America: November 17th (I think)
UK: December 7th
I've read it's to be released in the States November 19thOriginally Posted by Cpt.McCloud

So will the Resi Evil UC come out in the UK before Dec 7th or after?
Sorry bro ,Originally Posted by Cpt.McCloud
Ever since I discovered Wii Play's shooting gallery allows for duel Wii Remote action on single player I've been all over this topic like bee's to honey. I've even went as far as ordering a pair of Brando Light Gun cradles and in the process of modding them. (The trigger has way too much play, and the objective is to convert them to a hair trigger without the forfeit of the trigger-like motion.)
As soon as I have time and can remember, I will make the drive to this specific hardware store known to carry a large array of compression springs, and complete this project. Those who are interested, I will try to take some pictures of the process and post them.

On another forum I am the defender of the zapper
People are not all towards the idea complaining that it is an eye sore and doesnt improve game experience and it lowers accuracy.
I am the one who is there to fight for the zappers cause, and it looks like it is growing in popularity due to several top sites (IGN etc.) beginning to speak of the zapper improvement, of cause earlier reviews were quite bad but they are improving and showing more promise now.
I believe UC will be released around the 7th of december mark, I will have to check on that.

The Voice I Hear
By Sally Fiedler
A wee Puritan fellow lives
in my lower, right-hand kitchen cupboard
next to the oven, where it's warm.
He's about the size of a soup can,
but when he first came to me
(and I was only three)
he took up most of the space
in my hulking cardboard closet.
We have argued often through the years,
and I have managed to convince him
that matters of the flesh
can be jolly matters,
that clenching of the teeth results
only in jaw dysfunction,
that letting it all hang out applies
to more than shirt tails.
He still occasionally grumbles and growls,
stamps his tiny feet, but only when
I have failed to do what is right
does he shake a fist in my face and shout:
"Thou wast not brave! Thou wast not true!"
SALLY FIEDLER is a widely published poet and retired educator living in Buffalo.

When you are immature, selfish, and don't give a crap about your work, your co-workers, your company, or your reputation.
Normally when you skip work and don't call in to let them know where you are, are late for work meetings, yell at your boss on national TV, get fined every week for insubordination, and shoot yourself with an unlicensed firearm in a NY nightclub which damages your very career, you might say you are feeling Plaxidaisical about your job.

Powerful Antioxidant
- A Powerful Antioxidant Which Fights Disease Causing Free Radicals
- Reduces Inflammation & Joint Pain
- Supports Healthy Liver Function
Turmeric for Cancer - How Turmeric Can Help Prevent Cancer
A great deal of recent research into cancer prevention has focused on the foods, herbs, and supplements that are capable of providing high doses of antioxidants, which help fight off cancer causing free radicals in the body. One of the most promising developments in this field of research is the studies involving turmeric for cancer. Turmeric is a root that has a bright yellow color, used in Eastern medicine for thousands of years for its anti-inflammatory properties. The active ingredient that provides these health benefits is called curcumin, which is a compound containing strong antioxidant powers.
There have so far been a few studies that have been carried out to determine how turmeric supplements can be used to prevent cancer. One of these gave patients supplements with purified curcumin, and found that the curcumin was able to reduce the progression of tumors in many patients. This indicates that turmeric for cancer may be used in those who have stomach, oral, skin, and cervical cancers, according to this study. However, more detailed research is needed to learn more about how this mechanism works, and how much turmeric is needed to eradicate tumors or slow them from developing into full blown cancer.
Another study that investigated turmeric for cancer suggested that it can be used as a treatment rather than preventive measure, for patients who had skin, pancreatic and colorectal cancers. As with the studies investigating turmeric as a prevention method, there were some promising results from these treatment studies. It's thought that the reason why turmeric may be effective as both a treatment and prevention possibility for cancer is due to the antioxidant power of the curcumin.
Because the curcumin is able to protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals, turmeric for cancer may be a way to oxidize free radicals and prevent cellular damage. Turmeric may also be able to prevent tumors from recruiting blood vessels for their own purposes, so that they are unable to get any larger. If you are interested in potentially using turmeric for cancer, it's best to speak to a healthcare professional about what your options are first. This may be a good first step towards preventing the spread of cancer, however, particularly if it runs in your family or you are considered to be at high risk. There are far fewer side effects associated with turmeric supplements as opposed to other cancer treatments, which makes it worth a try for many patients.

It is exactly ONE MONTH till my birthday!!
Are you excited? I know I am!
Last month I posted my birthday wish list for a couple of people that wanted to send me a lil' somethin' somethin'. Seriously, that is way to sweet and makes me totally smile.
This month I have an idea that I stole from my friend Sami from Sami by the See who is a fellow virgo. She is requesting people send her birthday cards from all over for her birthday. And I thought, "Well that is just an awesome idea!"
So, I want the same thing! I want cards! I adore birthday cards and I adore my birthday and of course I adore all of you so please send me cards! If you'd like to, just email me (firstname.lastname@example.com) and I'll send you my NEW address! Then I'll take a picture of all the lovely cards to share with all of you!
Moving on! My weekend was decent. Jake's funeral was on Friday and I will say it was absolutely amazing. His parents both spoke and they were so, so strong. I just could not get over the amount of love felt in that room. Afterward, Jo and I (Jo is a friend of mine that worked at Caribou with Jake and me) went to Caribou for our Jake inspired cookies 'n cream snowdrifts. It's the first time I've been back to my old Caribou since I was fired and thankfully two of my favorite people were working. So, it was a sad but good day all in all.
Saturday I worked. People were CRANKY! I don't get it. How can you be cranky when the day is gorgeous, it's Saturday, you aren't working and you're shopping for clothes? What on earth? Nonetheless I had a great day because I got ANOTHER credit card application which is awesome! I felt darn accomplished.
Sunday I was on call but when I called at noon to see if they needed me they DIDN'T! Yay! So Dustin and I met up with Taryn and Matt at Dunn Bros. for coffee and then went out to lunch with them and the in-laws for my father-in-law's 50th birthday! The rest of Sunday evening was spent lazing around – we ate way too much food, ugh.
This week will be spent PACKING PACKING PACKING. I am not looking forward to it but I keep thinking about how amazing it is going to be once we're out of this apartment and into the house. Just have to get through these next few weeks!
More soon (and don't forget to snag my address if you'd like to send a birthday card! =-)
Tweet tweet! See what I have to say on Twitter.

COLUMBIA - South Carolina finished well ahead of Clemson in the Learfield Sports Director's Cup final standings, but both schools trailed the competition within their conferences.
The Gamecocks finished No. 35 with 591.5 points in the final standings, which ranks a college athletics department's overall success on the field in all programs. South Carolina was ninth in the SEC.
Clemson finished No. 60 with 355.5 points in the final standings. The Tigers were 10th in the ACC.
Points are awarded based on a school's finish in up to 20 sports. Those sports are split evenly between 10 men's and 10 women's programs.
The SEC and ACC did quite well, as expected. Florida led the SEC with 1,216.5 points, second-most in the country. Notre Dame led the ACC with 1,128.25 points, third-most in the country.
South Carolina and Clemson are experiencing unprecedented success in the most public college sports arena, with both finishing in the top 10 for the first time in history last fall. The Gamecocks finished a program-record fourth in the final Associated Press poll and won their fifth-straight game against Clemson. The Tigers finished eighth in the AP and won the Orange Bowl.

Chuck Pagano thinks Freeney and Mathis can do everything Mario Williams did as he made the move to 3-4 OLB:
"If we can move towards the type of defense, the brand of defense that we've been playing where I just came from, we can evolve to that. I was talking to Mr. Irsay, if Wade Phillips can go to the Houston Texans and install the 3-4 with no offseason and make Mario Williams an outside linebacker and stand him up on early downs, that the two explosive, great athletes, the great pass rushers that we have on the edge here, I don't see an issue. Our motto is simple me, complex you. To say I'm a 3-4 guy, we want to build a defense that is really flexible. It's going to be really simple for our guys to execute, but when the offense prepares for it and they see it on Sunday, it's going to look very complex to them. Just because we may line up and they say 'Hey, look, they're a 3-4 team,' we could be a 4-3 team on first down, we could be an odd 3-4 look on second down and the Lord only knows on third-and-7-plus. That's our goal. That would be my answer to that."

Down seven with two minutes to go, about all the West Windsor-Plainsboro South High school boys' basketball team could do was ratchet up the defense.
Boy, did it. Forcing back-to-back turnovers, WW-P South scored nine of the game's last 10 points over the last two minutes to defeat North Brunswick 48-47 in the first round of the NJSIAA Central Jersey Group IV tournament.
The eighth-seeded Pirates will advance to visit top-seeded Montgomery, a 66-54 winner over Marlboro Tuesday night.
Danny Borup and Jonathan Lee co-led WW-P South with 15 points apiece, while L.J. Williams put in 14 to lead North Brunswick, and Eric Slade added 11.
The Pirates also won without getting a point from Tommy Hussong, who saw his 31-game 3-pointer streak end. Trenton, on Feb. 14, 2013, was the last team to blank Hussong from long distance.
"Tommy is a special kid," West Windsor-Plainsboro South head coach Bob Schurtz said.
"On a night when he goes scoreless, for the rest of the guys to step up and find a way to win, that's outstanding."
Turnovers were plenty last night — 42 in total, with 22 committed by North Brunswick — but the last two for the visitors were the real back-breakers. Down 47-43 with just more than a minute to go, WW-P South's Borup stripped the ball from Slade and drove for a fast-break bucket and a foul. The three-point play cut the Pirates' deficit to 47-46 with 54 seconds to go.
"We tried to pick up our pressure," Schurtz said. "We kept feeling as if we were letting them dictate tempo and letting them kind of control the game. We never really got to establish a tempo ourselves."
WW-P South then forced a backcourt violation on North Brunswick's very next possession, and the Pirates worked the clock inside of 15 seconds left. When Borup's drive to the basket didn't fall, C.J. Howell was right there for the put-back that gave WW-P South the lead at 48-47.
The Pirates needed one more stop, and Borup gave it to them. North Brunswick came out of a timeout with 11 seconds to do something, but Borup knocked the ball away from North Brunswick's Williams. Borup never got a firm hold of the ball as he pursued it down the court, but he knocked nine seconds off the clock as he jostled for possession all the way down to the opposite baseline.
By then, North Brunswick only had a couple ticks left and too long to go. WW-P South advanced.
"What we said was, 'OK, let's go get stops,'" Schurtz said. "If we can keep them where they are, I think we can get that number. It was good to see the guys make enough plays to go win that late in the game."
The win pulls the Pirates further from the disappointment of back-to-back first-round upsets in 2011 and 2012. Last year, WW-P South reversed its fortunes and was on the good side of an upset, knocking off third-seeded Rancocas Valley in the quarterfinals as a No. 6 seed before falling to Trenton in the semis.
"I thought it was a bad omen, when the referees walked in — it was two of the guys that had that Monroe game that we lost two years ago," Schurtz said. "I thought, 'Shucks, this is going to be bad news for us.'"
Schurtz's team overcame it all last night, and it will have to do it again if the win over North Brunswick isn't to be its last of the season.
"Early in the year, all we talked about was embracing the ugly," Schurtz said. "We make games ugly, but as long as you end up with more points on the board, we'll take ugly every day of the week."
WW-P South (16-9) 48, North Brunswick (17-7) 47
NB — Williams 6-0-2-14, Reardon 3-2-1-9, Castellanos 2-0-3-7, Slade 3-0-5-11, Patel 1-0-1-3, Gayle 0-0-1-1, Omowole 1-0-0-2, Khan 0-0-0-0. Team 16-2-13-47.
WW-P SOUTH — Elhossieni 1-0-2-4, Howell 2-0-0-4, Hussong 0-0-0-0, Register 0-0-1-1, Borup 5-1-4-15, Lee 5-3-2-15, Kline 2-0-1-5, Meersma 0-0-0-0, Erinjogunola 2-0-0-4. Team 17-4-10-48.

BARMER: Defying BJP over ticket denial, Jaswant Singh today filed his nomination papers as an independent candidate from Barmer Lok Sabha seat and attacked party president Rajnath Singh and Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje, accusing them of betraying him.
The betrayal is not with Jaswant Singh alone but with BJPs principles and ideologies, he said while addressing supporters after filing his nomination.
Though the 76-year-old leader launched a stinging diatribe against Singh and Raje, he made no mention of partys prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi.
As BJP president in 2009, Rajnath Singh had expelled him from party in a manner in which even a peon is not sacked, Jaswant Singh said, adding that he got carried away by emotions when he joined back the party.
The former Union Minister said he had informed Advani almost 18 months back of his wish to contest his last election from hometown Barmer and then told Rajnath Singh and L K Advani a few weeks back.
No announcement was made about Barmer in first few meetings (of CEC). I called up Rajnath Singh. He informed me the next day that I wont be given ticket . Who was given ticket? Not a BJP worker but somebody who joined BJP from Congress and had been abusing us till recently. I was very hurt, he said.
Congress defector Sonaram Choudhary has been given the BJP ticket from Barmer.
Singh recalled his long association with the partys founder leaders Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L K Advani and lamented its current state of affairs.
I have taken a step for Barmer. Relief is what I am feeling right now.
I am contesting on principles and for honor, not just for my honor, but for the honor of all citizens of Barmer, he said.PTI

More than a year ago, Moorestown officials rejected an ambitious $19 million proposal to demolish and replace the town's smoke-damaged municipal building, as well as the library next door and its adjacent recreation center.
The cost was too high, they said.
The main building - which housed the town hall, police station, and municipal court - was left unusable by a 2007 fire and finally was razed last fall. The only progress on the site has been the growth of an impressive patch of weeds.

While their ordeal will truly never be over, we hope the families of Scott Garlick and Raymond Williams, as well as everyone else affected by the horrible events of April 6, 2009, will find some closure with the conviction of Nicholas A. Horner.
It's been a long, difficult ordeal - just shy of three years - for Horner to get his day in court, and while formal sentencing remains, what it will be is no mystery.
Horner, 31, will spend the rest of his life in prison for killing the 19-year-old Garlick, a Hollidaysburg Area High School student, and the 64-year-old Williams, who had recently retired, during a robbery of the 58th Street Subway and subsequent getaway. Another Subway employee, Michele Petty, was shot during the robbery.
While their lives were most directly affected by Horner's actions, many others also were scarred by the events of that day and have had their lives changed forever. They, too, must continue the healing.
A jury unanimously convicted Horner on two counts of first-degree murder as well as aggravated assault, three counts of robbery and two counts of making terroristic threats but was divided when it came to the prosecution's request for the death penalty.
That means the sentence will be life in prison, a punishment fitting of such a heinous act.
While admitting his actions, Horner's defense attorneys tried to deflect some of the blame onto post-traumatic stress disorder from his time with the Army in Iraq. It didn't change the jurors' minds in the guilt phase, but it probably saved Horner from facing the death penalty.
Too bad.
We can see no justification for Horner's actions that day. It's ironic that he received a degree of mercy from the jury, when he showed no similar mercy to his victims - innocent bystanders - that fateful day. Their families continue to cope with the grief, the pain of their losses. We continue to offer our sympathies.
And while convictions are in the books, this case won't completely disappear from the news. Undoubtedly there will be appeals that will dredge up this painful event again for the victims and their families. We hope they continue to show the resolve that got them through this trial in the years ahead.
Even if Horner had received the death penalty, there is no way to wipe away the pain and hurt of April 6, 2009.
We only hope all of those affected will rest a little easier. The holes in their hearts can never be repaired.
They can only take comfort that 12 men and women have acted to ensure that the criminal responsible will pay by spending his life behind bars.

India Favorites in England Clash
The big match many people have been waiting for is here, India vs. England, specially relocated to Bangalore from Calcutta and spiced up with further controversy after some fans desperate to see the clash ended up on the wrong end of police batons.
India should be the favorite to win the match, and not just because of the significant home advantage. The team is in good form and boasts arguably the strongest batting line-up in the tournament. England's prospects, meanwhile, aren't nearly as bright as they were on the Test team's march to Ashes glory in Australia a couple of months ago.

Daily Bread Food Bank Production Garden Expansion
~~The Daily Bread Production Garden is expanding its growing space! Last season we had 2136 sq. ft. of growing space and next season we will have 3072 sq. ft.. We were able to grow 1260 pounds of organic produce in 2013 and we are hoping to increase that number for 2014. Unfortunately, we do not have the budget to be able to expand our irrigation system to incorporate this new addition to our growing space. We will need to purchase new feeder hoses, drip-lines, connectors and clamps for our garden. Better irrigation will allow our crops to be nourished over the weekends when our organization and access to the garden is closed. Daily Bread Food Bank accepts non-perishable donations from generous community members and corporations, but our garden helps to provide our local families with a variety of fresh, organically grown produce that adds more nutrition to their food basket and gives access to perishable items that families would otherwise have limited or no access to.

Zipz let you combine a wide variety of shoe tops with one pair of soles for any number of cool looks. Zip on, zip off…it's that easy! The Zipz come in tons of cute toddler styles and, yes, in case you're wondering, they're also available in mom sizes.

In the summer of 1967, Carolyn McCoy was 12 years old and visiting Japan with her family. On Aug. 6, they visited Hiroshima, where they took part in memorial activities marking the 22nd anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city.
This digital story—created last month in an AFSC-led workshop at the Friends General Conference gathering—tells how the experience changed her life.
The workshop
At the FGC gathering this summer, AFSC's Lori Fernald Khamala, Project Voice Program Director in North Carolina, and Tony Heriza, Director of Educational Outreach, led a digital storytelling workshop called "Using Technology to Tell Stories of Spirit and Struggle," in which an intergenerational group of participants created short videos about their spiritual journeys and political concerns.

Switzerland-based GPS specialist Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN ) shares were soaring in early Wednesday trading, up 6.8% following release of the company's Q2 earnings results. Shares were up around 6% at the time of publication of this article.
This is despite Garmin warning of a "particularly challenging" third quarter ahead, and despite the firm's reporting numbers that seem somewhat underwhelming for Q2. Sales at the firm were down 3% in comparison to the year-ago quarter. Gross profit and operating profit margins both declined four full percentage points, pro forma earnings per share fell 22% to $0.76 per share, and the company's net was down 7% at $0.88 per share.
Nonetheless, this exceeded the number analysts had been expecting to see out of Garmin -- $0.65 per share -- which may explain the enthusiastic reception a decline in earnings is receiving. Garmin CEO Cliff Pemble noted that however bad the numbers may look on the surface, "the second quarter of 2013 was highlighted by stronger than expected revenue performance across all segments."
Longer term however, Pemble notes that Garmin continues to entertain hopes of returning to "sustained revenue and EPS growth." Analysts, on average, are forecasting earnings growth of better than 5% over the next five years.

No one expected the Penticton Vees to duplicate the dominance they displayed in the 2011-12 season, when they posted a 54-4-0-2 regular season record and rolled through the BCHL playoffs with little resistance before winning two more tournaments on their way a national championship.
However, the 2012-13 season was an extremely exceptional campaign, especially considering that only Captain Troy Stecher, Cody DePourcq, Wade Murphy and goaltender Chad Katunar returned from last season's championship squad. Unfortunately for the Vees, the campaign ended just a tad too early for their liking.
Adam Tambellini scored at 2:34 of double overtime in Game 6 of the BCHL Finals, as the Surrey Eagles edged the Vees 3-2 on Sunday, clinching the series for the Eagles as they captured their first Fred Page Cup since 2005. Tambellini's goal came after a first overtime period that was played at a frantic pace, with both teams going end to end and missing a number of glorious chances to win it. Both Katunar and Eagles netminder Michael Santaguida were outstanding between the pipes, particularly in the aforementioned first overtime period when they were faced numerous point-blank scoring opportunities.
The exciting overtime session was preceded by a minor miracle for the Vees as they trailed 2-1 with less than a minute to go before Michael Rebry tied the game at two in the dying moments of the third period, saving the season momentarily. The goal came after Sam Mellor threw the puck from the right-wing wall towards the Surrey net and, through heavy traffic, the puck managed to deflect past Santaguida, sending the 3,142 fans in attendance at the South Okanagan Events Centre into a frenzy. The goal was originally credited to John Siemer but later given the Rebry; his first of the post-season officially tying the game at 19:34.
At the very least, Penticton played a thrilling game to end their season, even though they eventually fell short of the ultimate prize. The Vees say goodbye to graduating players in Stecher, Katunar and Murphy, as well as Sam Mellor, Sean Flanagan, Bryan Sinz, Rob Mann, James De Haas, John Siemer and Thomas Nitsche.
One question mark for the Vees heading into next season will be status of BCHL Rookie of the Year Ryan Gropp, who was drafted by the Seattle Thunderbirds in the first round of the WHL draft. Gropp has also been named one of ten finalists for the Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) 2013 Rookie of the Year Award, but it remains to be seen whether he will return to the Vees or join the WHL next season.

GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- Grand Rapids Superintendent Teresa Weatherall Neal is on a mission to reinvent Grand Rapids schools, where excellence would become the norm, rather than exception across the district.
On Monday, the school board approved a three-year contract with Neal that includes a $165,000 salary this school year.
With that settled, Neal said she is ready to pick up the pace on addressing challenges the district faces as she develops a 3- to 5-year action plan that ensures all students are in rich learning environments and achieve at high levels.
Related: School board approves contract for Superintendent Neal
Last week, the state released its 2012 School Report Cards. Ten Grand Schools were put on its new list of Priority Schools -- schools in the bottom 5 percent of the annual top-to-bottom school rankings that need to improve their attention on student learning. Four schools were named Reward Schools for having high student achievement.
Related: West Michigan schools named to state's three new designations
"I can set the district up for what needs to happen over the next three to four years, with regard to reducing the number of schools and programs, so that we can reinvent Grand Rapids Public Schools," said Neal, but she added some hard decisions have to be made.
In a recent brainstorming session, school board president, Senita Lenear, spoke about closing failing programs and reopening attractive programs that work. Other board members talked about the need to rethink the concept and number of comprehensive high schools.
This week at its annual board retreat, Neal said she expects to begin talking about the process for reinventing the district and what that transformation will look like. The time, date and location of the open meeting has not been publicly announced, but it is expected to begin Friday.
A key part of the retreat discussion will be the results of a district-wide review to improve teaching and promote student achievement, conducted by the consulting firm Cambridge Education. In the spring, the firm reviewed a sample of 12 district schools, gathering information through interviews with school personnel and data analysis, to strengthen instruction.
Related: Consultants to point out of areas to improve teaching and learning
"I hope that people who know me continue to trust me, and I want people who don't know me to get an opportunity and know that they can trust me to do what is best for the children and system," Neal said.
Neal, who served as assistant superintendent for community and student affairs for nine years, replaced Bernard Taylor in January as "interim," a label that was removed from her title in June. She has been with the district 36 years in various administrative roles.
"I don't need two years to feel my way around," she said. "I am from this community and a product of GRPS. I know where the gaps are."
Neal has hit the ground running and generally been embraced by staff, students, parents and community stakeholders. Now, armed with a new contract and a "can-do" attitude, she says she is ready to start using some of the political capital she has earned over the past seven months.
She said some hard decisions have to be made, and the community will be included in the discussion about the future of the district.
"These are our schools, this is our community," Neal said. "We are going to reinvent Grand Rapids Public Schools."

I see her point.
But I don't 100% buy it.
I don't feel fearful. I love my son. I think he could use some therapy for focus. A diminishment of tics would be awesome also. I've seen how all the things Brain Balance proposes works since I've utilized much of it over the past five years, namely diet and supplements.
What I have not done was any sort of "brain rewiring" that you get with specific exercises at the clinic. To me, if we can rewire a muscle in our legs through training at a gym, why can't we rewire an understimulated portion of the brain? To me this makes so much sense.
But speaking of "cents", yes, it's a lot of money. It's something I have to be very very careful about as, well, I don't have that kind of cash laying around.
I also don't have the kind of anti-alternative sentiments the above blogger has laying around, either. To me, this program seems like a really great option and one worth considering.
I'll know more when we get the results back from Stink's 2 hour motor skill and 2 hour academic intake. The director says that these exercises targeted 1200 areas of Stink's brain. I also spoke to a neurologist - one who happens to own the franchise. To the blogger above's point, the neurologist's opinion was clearly swayed because that was his business. But then again, if you talk to an owner of an icecream store, they're going to tell you how fabulous sweets are because they have seen the results of very happy families in and out their doors. I'm willing to give any business owner the benefit of the doubt that they are not just after my wallet but they are doing something they are inspired to do because it works.
Back to the cognitive and motor report: From the outcome of these in depth tests, we'll be able to see where he's most lacking, as often the academic reports match up to the motor skills portion. (For the record, they used the same Brown and DSM scales that a psychologist would use to determine ADD, ADHD, Aspergers, etc. I did not feel they were a sham in the least, but instead, very comprehensive.)
The assessment cost me $245. That wasn't cheap either! But at least after this report, I'll have a good sense of what is going on in Stink's brain and I can decide if I want to continue with the program, head back to UCLA for drugs, or continue as needed.
In closing, I am not a sales person for Brain Balance. I am not a fearful idiot who will do anything to change my child. I am a mother who will do what is best for her child whether or not some snarky blogger thinks an organization is a sham. People think Christianity is stupid, also, and so far, I'm more peaceful than I've been in my entire life. I think I can live with a differing opinion from someone.
I'll keep you posted.

McDonald's Introduces New York-Themed Burger in Britain
Hot on the heels of its (admittedly odd) NYC-themed cupcakes in Germany, McDonald's has introduced a New York burger for diners in the United Kingdom.
According to the website Burger Business, the New York Special is part of a new "Great Tastes of America" promotion in the UK. The sandwich is topped with onions, lettuce, smoked cheese, bacon and onion mayonnaise (Onion mayonnaise! — Ed.). Dusted atop the bun are chives, sesame seeds and bits of chile peppers.
In advertising "Great Tastes of America," the company is using some decidedly non-New York stereotypes: football, Baywatch, Mardi Gras and monster trucks. (Maybe football counts, since the city could host the Super Bowl in 2014).
McDonald's sells several New York-flavored burgers elsewhere around the globe, including the NYCrispy (sold in Spain), New York Burger (sold in Japan) and New York Supreme (sold in Denmark, Norway and Sweden).

The Fort Dorchester boys battled through two overtime periods Friday at Ashley Ridge to earn a 75-66 victory.
The first three periods featured multiple lead changes. The Patriots ended the third with a 10-0 run to take a 46-38 lead.
Fort Dorchester (9-3, 1-1) extended the lead to 11 points in the fourth, but the Swamp Foxes (5-10, 0-2) never gave up the fight and went on a 7-0 run late in the period.
Trailing by 2 with only 90 seconds remaining in regulation, the Swamp Foxes needed a big defensive play and got it when Tyquan Tucker made a steal. A shot on the other end of the court bounced off the rim with approximately 60 seconds remaining but Raekwon Jones tipped it into the goal for a 55-55 tie.
Fort Dorchesters Eric Hayward drove the lane in the closing seconds hoping to get a basket or at least a foul but his shot was blocked cleanly.
In overtime, the Patriot seniors took charge to earn the Fort the win.
Dimitri Carter grabbed eight rebounds, scored 13 points and made two steals in the two overtime periods. Hayward had 6 points and three rebounds in the overtime periods.
Our coaches prepare us for adversity such as overtime, Carter said. We were prepared for it and we just stuck together and kept our heads in the game. We run a lot during practice so fatigue wasnt really an issue. The adrenaline kicked in and we just focused on our game.
It seemed the Patriots had the game won in the first overtime period when Carter hit a pair of free throws for a 2-point Fort lead with only 5 seconds remaining. However, Jones quickly drove the ball across mid court and passed to Corbin Landers. For the third time in the game and the second time in the overtime period, Landers sank a shot from behind the arc for a 63-all tie.
The Patriots pulled ahead in the second overtime period but the Swamp Foxes managed to stay within 3 until the final 60 seconds. Then Fort Dorchester grabbed some key rebounds and made free throws to secure the win.
Both teams had two players post double-digit scoring.
Carter led all scorers with 21 points and Hayward finished with 20. Tucker led the Swamp Foxes with 17 points and Sean White finished with 14 points.
The night marked the third straight loss in overtime for the Swamp Foxes, who also suffered overtime losses to Bluffton and Stratford.
FORT DORCHESTER (75): Dimitri Carter 21, Eric Hayward 20, Reese 9, Hamilton 7, Synpe 6, Fields 4, Bennett 3, Munoz 2, Harris 2, McFadden 1
ASHLEY RIDGE (66): Tyquan Tucker 17, Sean White 14, Landers 9, Brown 8, Jones 6, Jenkins 5, Garland 5, Smith 2.

Edmonton Car Title Loans Offers a Better Solution to Traditional Loans
Times are hard enough without anyone taking out another loan. Nowadays, loan requirements are getting tougher to meet, and this makes many organizations ask for more before giving you cash.
In life, you must gather your courage to approach people and fit in, if only to be able to borrow. Yet as hard as you try, you still sometimes come out of the loan application process empty-handed. More often than not, it's that lack of employment or a poor credit score which gets in the way of your being eligible for any kind of loan.
The good news is that auto title loans are the easiest way to get the money you need. You can get a car title loan at the quickest possible time and at the lowest possible interest rate available in Alberta. It's a matter of entrusting your automobile without losing respect from your family.
How else can you get your hands on some desperately needed cash if no one gives you a chance? Well, the services of Edmonton Car Title Loans give every owner of a vehicle a fighting chance that equal opportunity at availing of a fast title loan as large as 40,000 dollars worth of cash given on the same day of application and payable over a 42-month loan period.

New York police may have blown the surveillance of a terrorism suspect during a sensitive stage in an FBI investigation, a criminal complaint suggests.
Acting without the FBI's knowledge, police questioned the Muslims' religious leader, Ahmad Wais Afzali.
"They came to ask me about your characters," Afzali told Najibullah Zazi in a secretly recorded Sept. 11 telephone conversation.
Further, the complaint suggests investigators may have tipped off Zazi, by towing and searching a rental car he was using on a New York City trip.
Authorities say that move produced evidence of bomb-making instructions retrieved from a hard drive on Zazi's laptop.
However, it also convinced Zazi that he was being watched, according to the phone conversation with Afzali.
NYPD and FBI officials have denied that missteps forced their hand in the series of terror raids last week.
Zazi, his father and Afzali were arrested over the weekend on charges they lied to the FBI -- but they weren't charged with terrorism.
They have denied the charges against them.

Emergency medical dispatcher Nasser Al Yazeedi speaking at the ceremony.
DOHA: In recognition of Hamad Medical Corporation (HMC) Ambulance Service's commitment to provide high quality emergency response, emergency medical dispatcher Nasser Al Yazeedi was given the Dispatcher of the Year Award by International Academies of Emergency Dispatch (IAED) during a recent three-day Middle East Navigator Conference in Doha.
The award was created by the US-based IAED to identify and recognise individuals who, through personal action, have made the most significant contribution to further the values and mission of IAED, which aim at ensuring that citizens in need of emergency, health and social services are provided with the most appropriate resource safely, quickly and effectively.
"We are very proud of Al Yazeedi for being honoured with the award. This is a big honour for the Ambulance Service and HMC," said Brendon Morris, Chief Operating Officer of Ambulance Service, who introduced the winner.
Al Yazeedi is trained to work quickly and calmly in a structured way to take essential details about the patient's condition and location, dispatch and support Ambulance Service resources responding to the emergency call, and provide assistance and instructions by phone to the caller prior to the arrival of the ambulance at the scene of the emergency.
"The work emergency medical dispatchers do in the control room is so important because it's the initial minutes when people make an emergency call that help save a life.
"There are other things we do to help with survival, providing a good quality emergency response and clinical care, but unlike the work of paramedics and the Emergency Department, the work of the dispatcher often remains in the background," said Morris.
He said Ambulance Service is working towards becoming an IAED-accredited Centre of Excellence.
Accreditation means an emergency dispatch centre or public safety agency provides superior, up-to-date public care and is able to utilise resources efficiently to achieve maximum results in emergency situations.
HMC is was key partner in the conference, organised by IAED as a premier educational venue for professionals working in public safety and emergency response.
The conference was also an important venue for highlighting the 'Help Us Help You: Know the 5 Things to Save a Life' awareness campaign. PENINSULA

This is harder for me than changing my diet is. I like the approach, which I interpret is less is more, but still some is important. Funny, I am not at all a couch potato. I don't own a television set, SWMBO has a small one, but it's never on. My work is mostly desk work (work station) but I get up frequently, at least once an hour. I like to walk in the mornings and I do this three mornings a week on average. I walk fast and I can walk miles and miles. Usually three to four in an hours time.
Weight training, lifting heavy objects. This I find is just boring. I don't mind it other than that. I have a full set of nice dumbbells 5-50 lbs. and some other basic gear and I irregularly use these, without making much progress. I like the PB workout book and will be working to get through it.
It's weird, I am at the highest level in squatting, but cannot do a single pull up! So I guess I've got some work to do. Of course trying to pull myself up with the 85lbs of excess fat on me is quite a task. I'll be doing the assisted ones just as soon as I can devise a bar somewhere in the house.
The sprinting I think I will like, but I need to work up to that very gradually as I am afraid with the excess weight that I will twist or pull something and that would set me back.
But I am enjoying the PB lifestyle so far (1week). Yay!

Watch: 'SNL' parodies Bravo with 'The Real Housewives of Disney'
Cinderella as a lush? A gay Prince Charming? A broke Jasmine having sex with... a parrot? "Saturday Night Live" skewered every cliche we've come to know in "The Real Housewives" franchise in its parody sketch, "The Real Housewives of Disney." The verdict? If the "SNL" writers responsible for this sketch ever need work, we think they'd do a bang-up job at Bravo.
Though Wiig made the biggest splash as a drunken and debauched Cinderella (read: Kim Richards from the Beverly Hills part of the franchise), Lohan acquitted herself admirably as a judgmental Rapunzel. She also gets one killer punchline which you have to watch to appreciate (it involves a tiny hat). Kudos to "SNL" for skewering so many of the shows in the franchise, from Atlanta and New York (Belle's impression of talentless Kim Zolciak and/or The Countess attempting to sing), to Beverly Hills (Kelsey Grammer got a dig) to New Jersey (Jasmine going broke brought up shades of Teresa Guidice) and beyond. The parody was so spot-on, in fact, it might make a pretty good show of its own -- if Disney would ever go for it. Watch the entire sketch below.

In this lesson, we are taking a look at how to make sentences in the "Passive Voice" in Korean. This will be covered through two parts and this is Part 1 of the Passive Voice in Korean lesson. For Part 2, please check out Level 6 Lesson 23!
What is Passive Voice?
Passive voice is a form of sentence in which the focus is on the recipient of an action, rather than the subject. For example, when you *make* something, that something is *made* by you. When you recommend a book to someone, the book *is recommended* by you. That is passive voice, and the opposite of passive voice is active voice.
How to make passive voice sentences in Korean
In English, you change the verb into its "past participle" form and add it after the BE verb, but in Korean you need to conjugate the verb in the "passive voice" form by adding a suffix or a verb ending.
Listen to this lesson to find out how to conjugate a verb into the Passive Voice in Korean!
You can view a free PDF for this lesson here, or if you want to study with our TalkToMeInKorean textbooks, you can get them here.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Myriad Genetics said it entered into a deal to acquire Crescendo Bioscience for $270 million cash—to be lowered $25 million for repayment of a 2011 loan to Crescendo—in an acquisition the buyer said would diversify its revenue while complementing its existing molecular diagnostic tests.
Myriad said the deal was expected to close before the end of its 2014 fiscal year, which is June 30, subject to customary closing items and regulatory approvals. Should the deal close as planned, Crescendo will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of Myriad Genetics, retaining its name and its home base of South San Francisco.
The seeds of the Crescendo deal were planted late last year, when Myriad said in a regulatory filing it told Crescendo of its "preliminary, nonbinding interest" in acquiring the company. That interest followed Crescendo telling Myriad that it had attained a minimum revenue milestone, triggering an acquisition option Myriad secured in 2011, in return for the $25 million loan.
Founded in 2002, Crescendo focuses on molecular diagnostics for inflammatory diseases and autoimmune diseases. The company has successfully launched software products for physicians. These products include VectraView™, which allows a comprehensive overview of all rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients' level of disease activity and trends, and MyRA®, a patient tracking and communications tool.
Crescendo's core product, Vectra® DA, is a quantitative, protein-based test designed to assess RA disease activity, while the company's development pipeline includes products for a variety of diseases and conditions managed by rheumatologists. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Crescendo tested 27,000 RA patient samples—a 23% increase over 22,000 in Q3 2013, and 69% above 16,000 in Q2.
Last year, Vectra DA was approved for reimbursement by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and is now working to obtaining coverage from private insurers. Typically, a patient with RA may undergo a Vectra DA test at least twice per year.
The prospect of additional revenue through reimbursement is one reason why Myriad expects Crescendo to generate significant operating profits in the future and add to its earnings beginning in its 2016 fiscal year, which begins July 1, 2015. Vectra DA alone represents a $3 billion global market opportunity, according to Myriad.
Long-term financial benefit was one of five advantages articulated by Myriad for its acquisition of Crescendo. The other four:
Myriad said it will use cash on hand to acquire Crescendo, yet remain with enough cash to carry out its current $300 million share repurchase program.
"I really believe that the combined strength of Myriad's operational expertise and Crescendo's outstanding products will bring our business to new heights over the next few years," William Hagstrom, president and CEO of Crescendo Bioscience, said yesterday.
Hagstrom spoke during Myriad's quarterly conference call following release of results for the fourth quarter of 2013—the second quarter of the company's 2014 fiscal year. Myriad enjoyed a 44% year-over-year jump of 44% in quarterly net income, to $50 million, on revenues that zoomed 37% compared with the year-ago quarter, to a record $204 million. The company's earnings per share rose 57% to 66 cents compared to 42 cents in Q4 2012
Myriad raised its guidance to investors, to a revenue range of $740 million to $750 million for FY2014, representing 21 to 22% growth, and earnings per share of $2.09 cents to $2.12, representing 18 to 20% growth.

Newton Falls. LaBrae. Arguably the two best boys basketball teams in this area.
Tonight, they collide in this long-standing rivalry inside the confines of the LaBrae High School Gymnasium. Tipoff for the varsity game is roughly at 7:30 p.m.
LaBrae enters with an 8-0 record. Newton Falls is 6-1 with a stumble on Dec. 20 against the Fitch Falcons.
Newton Falls' Cody Dillon had 22 points, seven rebounds, and six assists Tuesday against Southeast. The 6-foot-4 senior seems to be out of offensive funk he was in for the past couple of games. It wasn't like he didn't have the available shots, but they weren't going down.
It isn't all Dillon for the Tigers. Chase Nichols has been a steady force the last couple of games, scoring in double figures for Newton Falls.
Dale Kernan has been a decent double-figure scorer for the Tigers as well, but he was held to two points in Tuesday's win.
Newton Falls needs a balanced attack to hold off the defensive-minded Vikings tonight.
Speaking of LaBrae, the Vikings have had close games at Poland and at home against Brookfield.
Peyton Aldridge, the 6-7 sophomore two-guard, has been a force on the outside and inside - especially in Tuesday's win against Howland. Aldridge used his length to adjust many of the Tigers' shots en route to the team's 74-66 victory.
Carl Brown, Carrington Herron and John Richards are good in their own right as well, but the key to tonight's game lies in the Vikings' point guard - Matt Szorady.
The 5-8 senior is truly a game changer. It was his last-second 3-pointer that lifted the Vikings past Brookfield and it will be his propencity to shoot the 3 that may be the difference in tonight's game.
If Newton Falls wants to beat its archrival, containing Szorady is a huge key.
However, as much as some might think this will be a high-scoring affair since both teams readily put up about 70-75 points per game, expect a game in the 40s packed with a fair share of steals and lock down, zone defenses.
Tonight is a battle for the All-American Conference, National Division and the game later this season at Newton Falls, most likely, will be for the division title.
ELKINS HONORED: Tonight, former LaBrae basketball player Andre Elkins is being honored for his feats off the hardwood.
In early June, Elkins jumped 22-feet, 5.75 inches to win the Division II state track and field boys long jump title.
He was the first LaBrae athlete to win gold since one of the best sprinters to come through this area, Bobby Cruse, won seven state titles in his tenure during the 1990s.
Cruse, who later competed at Kent State University, won three 100-meter dash and three 200 titles, along with a 400 crown.

Will he or won't he?
May 2, 2010 - Mike McLain
There seems to be some confusion regarding the chances that rookie quarterback Colt McCoy will log playing time next season.
During an interview on WTAM last weekend, team president Mike Holmgren said that McCoy won't play in 2010. He later told a group of reporters at a press conference that he doesn't expect McCoy to play.
Coach Eric Mangini, when asked if he's on-board with Holmgren concerning McCoy, referenced former coach Ted Marchibroda. "He said never say never and never say always. What Mike said is what we're anticipating happening, but you don't know."
That definitely leaves the door open for McCoy to play. For that to happen, both Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace would have to be out with injuries. If Brett Ratliff makes the roster, it might also require an injury to him for McCoy to get on the field.
I'm not sure it's wise to rule McCoy out for the entire season. Assuming he learns the offense quickly (which shouldn't be a problem) and shows progress in practice, why wouldn't the front office want to see him in a late-season role if the Browns are out of playoff competition?
It's understandable why coaches don't want to damage a quarterback's psyche by playing him when he's not ready, but one or two games late in the season is far different than 16 starts.
Every scouting report on McCoy states that he's physically and mentally tough. He comes across a little bit like former Browns quarterback Brian Sipe, but he's definitely bigger than Sipe.
We all know how the Sipe experiment turned out. He stepped in for Mike Phipps (now there was a quarterback that lacked mental toughness) and became a fan favorite with his accurate but albeit weak right arm.
Part of the playing decision concerning McCoy might boil down to how Mangini perceives his job security late in the season. If the team has a bad record and he thinks a change will be made (Jon Gruden is a phone call away from Holmgren), he could go against organizational logic and play McCoy.
One thing is certain -- the fans will be calling for McCoy if all is lost.

Five High-Concept Houses You Might Actually Want to Live In
MVRDV, the barn is in Suffolk, England, situated near a small lake. The metallic exterior is traditional to the area, as is the barn shape. It's even available to rent here. 2. Cloud House — This Melbourne, Australia home also looks surprisingly conventional from the street — the original facade has been preserved to respect the character of the neighborhood. But walk through the home, and it reveals extensive renovations culminating in a playful, cloud-shaped protrusion leading to the backyard. Its curving and cavernous walls give it a uniquely beautiful silhouette. Designed by McBride Charles Ryan Architects. 3. Hill House — One could mistake it for a gentle, grassy hill in the Danish landscape. To emphasize the harmony between nature and man-made space, architects Bjarke Ingels created this unobtrusive design covered in hardy, low maintenance grass. The design is flexible because it can be altered to accommodate various sites by changing the size and building materials in order to blend into the surroundings. 4. Alligator House — This home was designed and built as a New Orleans re-housing project, post Hurricane Katrina. Although it's only 872 square feet, architects buildingstudio created a two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath home to accommodate a family. Funded by donations, the home is an example of how low-cost structures can also be functional and comfortable. It's narrow (13 feet wide) to fit into the long, narrow lots typical of the area, and the large front stoop encourages community involvement, which is essential in flood-ravaged neighborhoods like Central City. 5. ZeroHouse — This is a prefabricated house, easy to ship and assemble. It operates completely self-sufficiently, generating energy through solar panels, collecting rainwater and processing all waste into dry compost, all controlled by sensors and a laptop. Because it requires no foundation and touches the ground at only four places, it can be installed in areas where conventional construction would be impossible, including in up to 10 feet of water or on a slope of up to 35 degrees. It seems ideal for remote living, places without access to external utilities, or for those who just want to live off the grid in any location they choose. (Images: As linked above)

Would it
Would't be said that new year's waste of time instead? What'd happen if mere mortals stopped toiling for bread? You will never see the old year again that's gone under an overprotective world heralded out asunder thunder.
