Heat Pumps are a well proven technology that have been in use for decades across the world, they are able to heat and cool using minimal electrical input. Heat pumps are a low carbon technology, they do rely on some electrical input but this is far outweighed by the output they are able to produce.
There are many different types of heat pump, the most common in nearly every home is the refrigerator, which most people do not realise is a heat pump. The two main types of heat pump that can be used to heat the home are ground source heat pumps and air source heat pumps. Both of these are growing in popularity as an affordable low carbon technology.

Obama, McCain show their arts
We all know (ish) what they think about healthcare, the economy, war and the like, but there's been little comment about the differences in the two candidates for the American presidency when it comes to the arts. And there are differences. Obama, whose arts policy is outlined here , wants to create an Artist Corps of young artists to work in low-income schools, and supports increased funding for the National Endowment for the Arts. John McCain, who finally released a four-sentence statement on his own arts policy this week, supports arts education though he leaves it up to local entities to decide on funding.
No big surprises then, and one wonders, given the current state of economic chassis, whether any of it even matters. Americans, if you're out there and happen to be reading the Irish Times arts blog, will this new release by John McCain have any effect on your vote?
Here's his full statement, in case you missed it: "John McCain believes that arts education can play a vital role fostering creativity and expression. He is a strong believer in empowering local school districts to establish priorities based on the needs of local schools and school districts. Schools receiving federal funds for education must be held accountable for providing a quality education in basic subjects critical to ensuring students are prepared to compete and succeed in the global economy. Where these local priorities allow, he believes investing in arts education can play a role in nurturing the creativity of expression so vital to the health of our cultural life and providing a means of creative expression for young people."

One woman died Thursday morning from her injuries in an early morning west side apartment fire. Though her name hasn't been released yet, she was a 60-year-old with mobility issues. Initially, she was taken away from the scene at the Pangea Meadows Apartments to Eskenazi Hospital in extremely critical condition. She died there about an hour later from her injuries. The fire broke out at about 3:45 a.m. in 3400 block of Ashley Lane, near 34th and Moller Road. At least three other residents have fire-related injuries and six units are damaged, impacting at least 14 people. According to AM-1310′s Deacon Drew who was on the scene, residents jumped in to help rescue each other. At one point, Drew and others held a mattress to catch a woman who had to jump from her apartment window to escape the spreading flames. Early reports indicate that food left unattended while cooking on a stove may be the cause of this blaze.

If you're a fan of the Trailer Park Boys, you will NOT want to miss this month's event. Even if you're not a fan, mark your calendar anyway because the discussion is guaranteed to be lively.
Mike Smith, Robb Wells, and John Paul Tremblay — otherwise known as "the Boys" — are Canadian actors and comedians you might know from the Trailer Park Boys, The Drunk and On Drugs Happy Fun Time Hour, and now Swearnet. This month, we get an inside look at the design and launch of Swearnet.
Swearnet is a new channel for the the Boys to share their style of humour online. It permits them to keep ownership of their intellectual property and better monetize their lives as actors — in other words, they can own the business instead of handing it over to major media outlets and multinational empires. It also frees them from regulatory bodies such as the CRTC and FCC, which to their frustration impose limits on the number of times they can say ****, ****, or even **** *** **********.
Our guide for this journey is Dan Nedelko of ArtBarn and Honeypot Marketing in Cambridge. Dan has worked with the Boys to make Swearnet's vision a reality, guiding the production of the website. He'll share lots of juicy insights into both the design process and the outcomes of the launch, in a 90-minute meetup you won't soon forget.
The design concept behind the launch of Swearnet is a lot of fun: in a series of weekly videos, the Boys create a narrative arc in which the Swearnet website gets designed and developed by Randy, one of the show's characters. In each video, they harangue Randy for being such a terrible designer while resetting his priorities for the next week; and with each new video, the website itself changes to reflect Randy's most recent work, which continues the cycle.
If you've ever complained about having a nightmare client, you'll relate to Randy's situation. Though it's unlikely you've ever had a client speak so... well, so frankly of their feelings about your work.
WARNING: Expect to encounter LOTS of foul language during this event! We'll be showing videos from Swearnet that make it obvious where the site got its name.

Denying that she may have mimicked the Tinseltown trend to become too skinny, a waif-like Keira Knightley told reporters at London's premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest on Monday night: "Whatever people say about my weight they are all wrong."
Defending her appearance, the 21-year-old told PEOPLE, "Hollywood is all about the way you look, and I don't think that's the healthy thing for anyone. But, if you're strong and comfortable with yourself, then you're going to be fine."
On Tuesday she addressed the rumors again, saying she was surprised by the suggestion that she had an eating disorder. "(The press) said to me yesterday 'How does it feel to be called anorexic?' and I had no idea that I was," Knightley told the Associated Press. "I'm not saying there aren't people in the film industry that suffer from it, because I am sure that there are. But I'm quite sure I don't have it."
The questions about her health came up at the premiere when Knightley showed off her rail thin figure in a low-cut, backless bronze Gucci dress.
Still, she said there's nothing to worry about. "I've got a lot of experience with anorexia – my grandmother and great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who suffered from it," Knightley said. "I know it's not something to be taken lightly and I don't."
Adorned in Cartier jewelry, Knightley said at the London premiere that was happy to be back in her hometown. "We had such a good response in the U.S., but I'm a London girl – so it's always special to do a premiere here," she told PEOPLE.
For his part, Pirates star Johnny Depp was decked out in a fedora and sunglasses to keep his cool in the uncharacteristically hot London. He greeted fans and signed autographs for more than an hour.
Costar Orlando Bloom was also at the Pirates premiere. Press reports say he couldn't help himself, and peeked down the front of Knightley's gown, which opened to her belly button. "I haven't flashed anyone yet," she joked.
Among the other stars sighted: singer Charlotte Church, dealing with the heat in a white sundress and flip-flops, and Mischa Barton, sporting a blue baby-doll dress.

To confirm or refute the notion that only parathyroid adenomas have radioactivity higher than 20% of background.
Retrospective analysis of a prospective patient data set.
Tertiary care referral center.
Forty-six patients (9 men and 37 women; mean ± SD age, 53.7 ± 12.1 years) underwent thyroid and parathyroid surgery between December 2005 and December 2006 to collect data on ex vivo radioactivity percentages on a variety of tissues.
Patients were injected with 296 to 925 MBq of technetium Tc 99m sestamibi 1½ to 3½ hours before surgery. Biopsy specimens were taken of normal parathyroid glands, normal thyroid tissue, and lymph nodes and ex vivo radioactivity was recorded. Hyperplastic parathyroid glands and adenomatous glands were excised. Finally, some enlarged glands were cut into segments, and radioactivity counts were recorded and compared with the weight of the tissue.
Main Outcome Measures
All counts were compared with radioactivity percentages in the surrounding tissues, and results were expressed as a function of these background radioactive counts.
The mean ± SD ex vivo background radioactivity of parathyroid adenomas was 148.5% ± 83.1% of background activity (range, 40.1%-388.9% but never less than 40%). The mean ± SD ex vivo background radioactivity of hyperplastic parathyroid glands was 74.6% ± 18.0% (range, 49.5%-109.1% but never less than 40%). A significant difference was found in ex vivo background radioactivity between pathologic parathyroid tissue and the other tissue specimens studied (normal parathyroid glands [2.4% ± 1.8%], thyroid tissue [4.5% ± 2.8%], lymph nodes [1.6% ± 0.8%], and fat [0.4% ± 0.3%]).
Ex vivo radioactivity percentages can differentiate hyperactive parathyroid tissue from any other tissue, but they cannot differentiate adenoma from hyperplasia and thus are not helpful in ruling out multiglandular disease. Interpretation of ex vivo radioactivity percentages should take into consideration the size of the specimen.
Radioguided surgery for the treatment of parathyroid adenoma has been popularized as a new, more efficient, less morbid, and even safer operative strategy.1 The underlying principle of radioguided surgery is that radioactivity percentages of diseased, hyperactive parathyroid tissue, whether it be hyperplastic or adenomatous, are clearly higher and different than any other surrounding tissue and are therefore an easily detectable marker for the identification of abnormal parathyroid tissue. In addition, proponents believe that radioactivity percentages are significantly different in parathyroid hyperplasia than they are in parathyroid adenoma, thus making them a substitute for intraoperative frozen section analysis, eliminating the need for intraoperative intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level assays or even frozen sections.2- 7 The opponents of the radioguided technology, on the other hand, claim that an experienced surgeon can visually identify abnormal parathyroid tissue with accuracy that is as good as any kind of radioactive detection procedure. Disagreement surrounds the statement that the levels are precise enough to eliminate the need for intraoperative iPTH levels and frozen sections.
A study by Murphy and Norman2 of 1290 specimens from 345 patients reported specific radioactivity cutoff levels that can differentiate among thyroid tissue, lymph nodes, normal parathyroid tissue, parathyroid hyperplasia, and parathyroid adenoma. Clear-cut levels of radioactivity in tissue specimens could significantly simplify and expedite parathyroid surgery, since both frozen sections and iPTH analysis add considerable time and cost to a relatively short procedure. According to Murphy and Norman, lymph nodes, normal parathyroid tissue, and fat never have a background radioactivity of higher than 2.2%, whereas thyroid tissue radioactivity is higher than 5.5%. On the basis of the data of Murphy and Norman, hyperplastic parathyroid glands have a mean radioactivity of 7.5% of background activity but never more than 16%. Any excised tissue that contains more than 20% of background radioactivity in a patient with a positive sestamibi scan is diagnostic for a solitary thyroid adenoma. Once an abnormal gland with radioactivity higher than 20% of background is excised, the procedure is concluded without additional exploration of the remaining glands. This decision is reinforced by the diagnosis of a single abnormal uptake spot, presumably the adenomatous, hyperactive parathyroid gland, on a preoperative sestamibi scan.
Other authors,8- 13 however, have attempted to reproduce these data, with variable results. Most studies, additionally, were based on the percentage of radioactivity of excised tissue without attention to the volume of tissue being measured. The assumption must have been that the percentage of radioactivity is not dependent on the mass of the excised tissue.
The primary objective of this study was to confirm or refute the notion that only parathyroid adenomas had radioactivity higher than 20% of background. The secondary objective of the study was to assess the significance of specimen mass in the actual ex vivo radioactivity percentages, in addition to histopathologic diagnosis.
The medical records of patients who underwent thyroid and parathyroid surgery between December 2005 and December 2006 were reviewed for data collected on ex vivo radioactivity percentages on a variety of tissues. Forty-six patients (9 men and 37 women; mean ± SD age, 53.7 ± 12.1 years) referred to a tertiary care referral center had data available for analysis. Ten patients underwent thyroidectomy for neoplasm, and 38 patients underwent parathyroidectomy for primary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The preoperative iPTH levels of all patients were reviewed. Three patients assumed to have normal parathyroid glands during thyroidectomy were excluded from the study because of an incidental diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism by preoperative iPTH levels. All other patients had preoperative iPTH levels consistent with their preoperative diagnosis.
All patients had preoperative iPTH and calcium measurements taken. Patients with hyperparathyroidism underwent administration of technetium Tc 99m sestamibi (296-925 MBq) before the day of surgery, and nuclear scanning images were taken 15, 90, and 180 minutes after injection to determine the washout rate of the thyroid gland. The last image taken at the third hour was used to determine parathyroid location and rule out any abnormalities.
At 1½ to 3½ hours before the operation, technetium Tc 99m sestamibi (296-925 MBq) was again administered to patients undergoing either thyroidectomy or parathyroidectomy. All patients with hyperparathyroidism underwent 4-gland exploration, and only enlarged glands were excised. In patients undergoing thyroidectomy for thyroid neoplasms, normal parathyroid glands were occasionally biopsied, whereas intracapsular parathyroid glands were excised, biopsied, and reimplanted into an incision pocket in the sternocleidomastoid muscle. A handheld, GS-1 gamma probe (RMD Instruments LLC, Watertown, Massachusetts) was used to measure the radioactive counts of the excised tissue. The probe was held in contact with the tissue, and ex vivo counts were recorded. Similarly, the counts of excised fat tissue and lymph nodes were recorded. Finally, the background radioactivity of the neck was measured by holding the probe in contact with the skin of the neck over the lateral part of the incision. Diseased parathyroid glands were cut into 4 comparable size and weight segments, and the percentages of radioactivity were again measured for each segment. Ex vivo radioactivity values were recorded as a function of what percentage of background radioactivity they corresponded to, with background radioactivity being 1 (100%). All parathyroid specimens were submitted as frozen sections for pathologic diagnosis. Intraoperative iPTH levels were measured 15 minutes after parathyroid excision. Finally, confirmed normal glands were reimplanted along the ipsilateral sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS statistical software, version 15.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, Illinois). Continuous data were displayed as mean ± SD. Statistical significance was accepted when P <.05. The Levine test for equality of variances was used to determine statistically significant variances. The univariate (GLM model) analysis of variance and the Neuman-Keuls tests were used to determine statistical significance for parathyroid background radioactivity percentages in parathyroid adenomas, hyperplastic parathyroid glands, and normal parathyroid specimens.
Ex vivo radioactivity of 61 parathyroid glands from 46 patients who underwent parathyroid or thyroid surgery were assessed and expressed as a percentage of the background radioactivity. Fat, lymphoid, or thyroid tissue ex vivo radioactivity percentages were also measured for comparison. These data are summarized in Table 1. Of 61 parathyroid glands, 35 were adenomas, 12 revealed hyperplasia, and 14 were normal based on pathologic examination, clinical presentation, and baseline iPTH levels. Mean percentages of background radioactivity for parathyroid adenoma and parathyroid hyperplasia were significantly higher than those of the normal parathyroid glands and other tissues (P <.001). Although the mean percentages of background radioactivity in parathyroid adenoma were statistically higher than in hyperplastic parathyroid glands (P <.001), the spread of individual values overlapped (Figure).
Log linear plot of ex vivo radioactivity percentages of parathyroid adenomas, hyperplasia, and normal parathyroid glands.
Ex vivo parathyroid glands from 15 patients with parathyroid adenoma were divided into 4 comparable weight segments, and the radioactivity of each segment was compared with the whole gland. In all cases, the ex vivo radioactivity percentage of each segment was lower than that of the original whole parathyroid gland (P <.001) (Table 2).
During the 1990s, minimally invasive, targeted parathyroidectomy gained attention among surgeons.14 This attention was the result of the use of a technetium-labeled myocardial perfusion agent, technetium Tc 99m hexakis 2-methoxyisobuthyl isonitrile (sestamibi), for parathyroid imaging by Coakley et al15 in 1989. Since then, sestamibi scanning has been used as the primary agent for parathyroid imaging. Intravenous sestamibi administration before surgery has often been used for radioguided parathyroidectomy. Sestamibi localizes nonspecifically in the mitochondria and cytoplasm in response to elevated membrane potentials across the membrane bilayers. It is concentrated in tissues that have increased cell activity or higher numbers of mitochondria. In addition, sestamibi also tends to be taken up by thyroid tissue; however, it washes out faster in the thyroid than in the parathyroid glands, making it an ideal agent for parathyroid scanning when the appropriate protocol is used.16
Many conditions exist for false negativity and false positivity in parathyroid scanning.7,11,17- 19 Sestamibi counts are related to (1) the baseline iPTH level, (2) the weight or mass of the tissue, and (3) the cell cycle phase.20 If the iPTH level is below 200 pg/mL (to convert to nanograms per liter, multiply by 0.1053), the accuracy of sestamibi scanning decreases to 81%. In contrast, when the iPTH level is above 400 pg/mL, 100% accuracy is usually obtained.21 Increases in perfusion and functional activity, as well as targeting of abundant mitochondria-rich oxyphil cells, seem to be key components in a successful uptake. A relationship has also been observed between the intensity of focal uptake in the parathyroid glands and the cell cycle phases for patients.20
Radioguided parathyroidectomy is a frequently performed procedure. Although the value of radioguided surgery is somewhat controversial, it has become a popular technique. Proponents of radioguided parathyroidectomy affirm that this technology decreases operative time, cost of surgery, postoperative complications, and length of postoperative stay by allowing for smaller, more cosmetically appealing incisions and eliminating the need for 4-gland exploration.4 Critics of the technology believe that they can attain the same results without the use of radioguided technology.22 The purpose of this study was not to ascertain or deny the value of radioguided surgery but to further assess the value and accuracy of radioguided surgery for those surgeons who use it.
This technology is used in 2 ways. First, in all cases, preoperative technetium Tc 99m sestamibi is injected 1 to 3 hours before surgery. Many surgeons will use the probe to identify the quadrant of increased radioactivity level to localize the involved gland, which is complemented by the localization studies performed preoperatively.11,23,24 Radioguided surgery helps identify hyperactive parathyroid tissue in normal and abnormal locations in the neck and superior mediastinum.25- 27
The second use of radioguided technology is for measurement of ex vivo radioactivity percentages of excised tissues as a guide to their histopathologic diagnosis.2,4,5 On the basis of initial studies by Murphy and Norman in 1999, it was proposed that the ex vivo radioactivity percentage can differentiate the following tissues from each other: nonparathyroid tissue, normal parathyroid tissue, parathyroid hyperplasia, and parathyroid adenomas.2
Data from their study of 1290 tissue specimens from 345 patients led to the conclusion that lymph nodes, normal parathyroid glands, and fat never had radioactivity that was above 2.2% of the background radioactivity percentage. Thyroid tissue radioactivity was never above 5.5% of the background radioactivity percentages. Hyperplastic parathyroid tissue always had radioactivity between 7.5% and 16%. Tissues that had radioactivity of 20% or higher of background radioactivity percentages were diagnosed as solitary parathyroid adenomas. These data are currently accepted and used as a guide to identify excised tissue in lieu of frozen section pathologic diagnoses. Ex vivo radioactivity has also been used as a substitute for intraoperative, postexcision iPTH measurements.3- 5 Ex vivo radioactivity determination takes only a couple of seconds, as opposed to the 10 to 30 minutes required for histologic processing of frozen sections and/or blood sample processing for iPTH measurements.
In 2001, McGreal et al3 studied ex vivo radioactivity percentages in 75 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism and concluded that the cutoffs mentioned herein are accurate in confirming histopathologic diagnoses. Their data, however, revealed that normal parathyroid glands often have radioactivity of more than 2.2% above background radioactivity. In addition, 2 patients in their study were diagnosed as having a single adenoma by the cutoff of 20% above background radioactivity and were subsequently found to have either a second adenoma or hyperplasia.
Goldstein et al4 studied 40 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. On the basis of clinical results (having based their surgical decision making on radioactivity measurements), they concluded that radioactivity percentages could substitute for histologic studies as an accurate method of tissue identification. They, however, reported no data on actual radioactivity percentages. A follow-up study5 in 2003 by the same group studied 127 patients. In this study, ex vivo radioactivity percentages of hyperplastic parathyroid glands and thyroid tissue were measured, and their clinical results were consistent with the cutoff of 20% above background radioactivity (also called the 20% rule).
Other studies have contradicted these conclusions. Burkey et al8 studied 150 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and used the 20% rule to diagnose parathyroid adenoma. They described an 84% cure rate when using it as the only measure of confirmation of adenoma. Nichol et al27 studied patients with secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism; in their series, all hyperplastic parathyroid glands had radioactivity greater than 20% above background percentages. Chen et al9 found that all of their patients with hyperplastic glands had radioactivity that exceeded 20% of the background activity. Olson et al12 studied 21 patients and concluded that ex vivo radioactivity values could not differentiate between adenoma and hyperplasia. Lal et al10 reported similar findings after studying 419 patients. Ugur et al13 evaluated 35 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. They could not differentiate hyperplasia from adenoma by ex vivo radioactivity percentages. They found statistically significant differences in the in vivo radioactivity percentages between adenoma and hyperplastic glands.
All of these studies assessed radioactivity percentages of different tissues without taking into account the size of the specimen. It has been postulated that the likelihood of positive preoperative localization with a sestamibi scan could be related to the size of the involved gland. It is, therefore, logical that ex vivo radioactivity counts are related to the size of the tissue being measured. We, therefore, sought to determine if the size of the specimen affected the ex vivo radioactivity counts. This is the first study, to our knowledge, to assess the relationship between the size of the specimen and the ex vivo radioactivity counts. Radioactivity levels of lymph nodes, on the other hand, when measured to identify sentinel nodes have not been related to the size of the node according to any published studies.
The mean percentage of ex vivo background radioactivity of parathyroid adenomas, relative to background, was 148.5% (range, 40.1%-388.9%). Hyperplastic glands have similar values (mean, 74.6%; range, 49.5%-109.1%). A significant difference was found between adenomatous and hyperplastic parathyroid tissue when compared with other tissue specimens studied (mean, 2.4%, 4.5%, 1.6%, and 0.4% for normal parathyroid glands, thyroid tissue, lymph nodes, and fat, respectively). These tissues never had background radioactivity of more than 5% (Table 1).
The original 20% rule was based on primary hyperparathyroidism cases, compared with normal parathyroid glands. Biopsy specimens of normal parathyroid glands belonging to the same patients diagnosed as having an adenoma were studied. It is possible that normal parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were suppressed, perhaps not truly functioning as normal glands, and therefore had a decreased uptake of technetium Tc 99m sestamibi.
To clearly identify the parathyroid adenoma and the ex vivo background radioactivity percentage, we first measured the ex vivo radioactivity percentage of the gland. We then divided the gland into 4 comparable size and weight segments and repeated the counts again. We observed that the percentage of radioactivity above background of these segments was always less than the undivided gland. The percentage of radioactivity above background is therefore proportional to the mass of the specimen, which has significant implications when decisions are being made based on radioactive counts obtained from whole excised parathyroid adenomas vs biopsy specimens of hyperplastic or normal glands.
Our preoperative technetium Tc 99m sestamibi dose was 740 MBq in most instances, but some variability occurred during the first couple of studies (range of doses, 296-925 MBq). Low doses such as 111 to 185 MBq or even 37 MBq can be used, and radioguided parathyroidectomy is still found to be safe and effective in patients with solitary parathyroid adenoma. Doses of radiation exposure can be reduced 20-fold, thus minimizing radioactive exposure to the patient and the operating room personnel.21 In our study, we administered doses between 296 and 925 MBq of technetium Tc 99m sestamibi. By expressing our results as percentages above background instead of absolute values, we minimized the potential impact this variability could have had in our results and conclusions.
Although the ex vivo radioactivity percentages greater than 20% above background clearly represent pathologic parathyroid tissue, no definitive conclusions can be made to differentiate single-gland disease from multigland disease (parathyroid hyperplasia or multiple adenoma). Radioactivity percentages are proportional to specimen size; therefore, the use of the ex vivo background radioactivity percentages for confirmation of the presence of parathyroid adenoma should incorporate the size of the specimen. Small biopsy specimens of tissues will not necessarily yield the expected high ex vivo radioactivity level diagnostic of hyperactive parathyroid glands. Excised tissue with radioactivity percentages greater than 40% above background are most likely hyperplastic or adenomatous parathyroid glands. Ex vivo radioguided surgery is not a substitute for intraoperative iPTH assay. It may replace frozen section diagnosis, since it can identify hyperactive parathyroid tissue.

We're super excited to announce our new character education assembly for 2011! Character All Stars will teach your kids about Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship!
You're probably aware of our "EGGstraordinary" Anti-Bullying Assembly. Obviously bullying is something we're passionate about. We really want to make a difference.
Bullying and character education are really two sides of the same coin. Bullying is a specific problem. There are specific tactics we teach to help kids take a stand and make a difference in the schools.
Character education is different.
Character All Stars Teaches Kids
About Positive Character Traits.
Bullying and character education go hand in hand like peanut butter and jelly. If you had the "EGGstraordinary" show last year, Character All stars is a perfect follow-up!
The presentations are completely different and none of the "magic" overlaps. Your students will be presented with an entire new act with an entirely new message!
Every kid wants to be a star.
Every Act in the Show Relates to a
Positive Character Trait and a Way You Can Be a Star!
For example… You could be an all star by being a famous athlete! I (Matthew) take on one of your students in a cup stacking competition.
I don't do so hot. I start cheating by "magic" and ultimately lose! This opens the door to talking about fairness!
Every moment of the show is FUN. If you've seen the "EGGstraordinary" show, you know just how fun it is. Character All Stars does the same thing, but with character education.
Complements Character Counts
Character All Stars is designed to be a stand-alone assembly, but if you use Character Counts in your school it will complement it perfectly. Character Counts is one of the top character education programs in the world.
We chose to base our show off Character Counts because it's a solid program that addresses character education without any culturally specific overtones. Today's students come from a wide variety of backgrounds. It was important to us to be sensitive to all their needs.
Our Best Work Yet!
I can't tell you how excited I am to bring Character All Stars to students this year. We've developed some incredible material that's received universal praise, but this might be our finest work yet. If you're ready for character education that's FUN, contact us today!

COMING SUNDAY: The annual Trumbull County Fair kicks off this week, and this year -- along with tractor and truck pulls, bull riders, stock cars, carnival games and farm animals it will feature some Marvelous Mutts.
From catching Frisbees to sliding into big tanks of water and other acts, these tricky canines will be seen at least twice a day from Tuesday through Sunday near the Grandstand as the fair begins its 168th year.
Fair President Thomas Sawyer, who has been involved with the county event for more than 35 years, said he has always hoped to draw in a crowd of 100,000. In past years, they have come close, bringing in more than 70,000 fairgoers.
Last year, the fair was hit with a heavy thunderstorm on its second day, which dropped nearly 4 inches of rain on the grounds and closed many of the day's attractions and rides.
So far, this week's forecast is mostly clear, but Tuesday -- the fair's opening day -- shows a 50 percent chance of stormy skies.
Read the preview for this year's fair in the Sunday Tribune Chronicle.

Josh Hamilton Will Take Live BP This Week
The Angels? offense has been pretty darn good even without Josh Hamilton, but they?re a step toward getting him back anyway.
The Orange County Register reports that Hamilton is supposed to take live batting practice this week.
Hamilton, you?ll recall, needed surgery in mid-April for a torn ulnar collateral ligament in his left thumb and is likely to miss another 3-4 weeks, but actual baseball stuff like this is a step in the right direction.
The Angels currently have the #3 offensive in all of baseball, as they've scored 159 runs in just 30 games played, smashing 40 home runs along the way.

TVA Public Relations Staff Edited Engineer's Report on Failed Coal-Ash Dam
Dam inspections began before the Dec. 2008 spill incident of 5.4 million cubic yards of coal-ash slurry in Tennessee. Afterward, the initial draft engineer's report of the pre-spill inspection noted several eroded areas needed to be fixed "immediately;" the word was subsequently struck from the report.

Section 2 Introduction
(Last Modified on August 24, 2010)
The University System of Georgia (USG) uses a uniform coding scheme for the Chart of Accounts at all institutions. This uniform coding scheme is designed to allow standardized reporting for the entire system. The coding scheme was developed to allow classification of revenues and expenditures in accordance with guidelines developed by the National Association of College and University Business Officers (NACUBO).
The chart of accounts coding scheme is comprised of the following Account Number Segments:
- Fund Group
- Function Code
- Funding Source Code
- Department
- Project Indicator
- Account Code
- Budget Period
These Account Number Segments are not prescribed to be used in any certain order. The accounting software being utilized by the institution will probably determine the order.*
*Note: Since the majority of the USG institutions utilize the PeopleSoft Financials software, this manual will also describe the Account Number Segments (chartfields) as they are referenced within PeopleSoft Financials:
- Fund Group is referenced as "Fund Group"
- Function Code is referenced as "Program Code"
- Funding Source Code is referenced as "Classification Code"
- Department is referenced as "Department"
- Project Indicator is referenced as "Project ID"
- Account Code is referenced as "Account"
- Budget Period is referenced as "Budget Period"

"We recently purchased 3 (very different and equally amazing) horses from Alisha- one for myself, one for my 4 year old daughter and a mini pony for my 2 year old to familiarize her with horses. I spent an immense amount of time researching horses when we purchased our farm. While it seems crazy to purchase a horse sight unseen, because of the great marketing Alisha had done and the extensive videos she supplied for each horse, we decided to use her for this purchase as she promised we would be getting bullet proof horses. She spent a great deal of time listening to my requests for each of us and truly delivered what she promised. We are all absolutely in love with our horses and would highly recommend her to find a wide range of performance horses with the very best temperaments. The horse I purchased is one of the more expensive horses she sells and Frosty is truly a beautiful, sweet natured gem with great athletic ability and a fantastic jumper! I am very thankful to have found Alisha and would recommend her to anyone looking for a horse you can trust."

Tigers-White Sox postponed Tuesday night
The radar around Chicagoland is about as ugly as the Tigers' recent record, ugly enough that the White Sox — who have been known for waiting quite a while before postponing a game, and longer to get a game in — didn't wait for the gates to open before calling Tuesday's Tigers-White Sox tilt.
No makeup date was immediately announced. The two sides have night games Wednesday and Thursday, but the forecast isn't very good for Wednesday either. The Tigers come back to Chicago for a three-game series at the end of August, but there are no off-days on either side of that set, so they'd probably have to play a doubleheader on Aug. 29 or 30.
If that's what happens, the Tigers would face doubleheaders on the road on back-to-back weekends (they have a day-nighter in Minnesota the previous weekend to make up for the rainout there at the end of April). They'd play 24 games in a 23-day stretch, and that includes a scheduled off-day Aug. 25. Moreover, 15 of those 24 games would be on the road.

James Bond actor Daniel Craig and his Oscar-winning wife, Rachel Weisz, made a rare show of public togetherness on a night out in New York Monday as they accepted awards for their charity work.
Craig, clad in a gray suit, and Oz the Great and Powerful star Weisz – in a sleeveless light pink dress and towering black heels – arrived at the seventh annual Night of Opportunity gala at Cipriani Wall Street smiling and holding hands before being honored by The Opportunity Network, which aims to help underprivileged teens get into (and pay for) college and launch successful careers.
Weisz, 44, told PEOPLE the decision to collaborate with the New York education organization was an easy one, and that she valued being able to work closely with her husband on the initiative.
"It's really lovely" working together, she said. "It's something that was incredibly natural and obvious to us."
But the work is not without tears. "I've met several of these kids and they've told me their stories to my face, and it was very hard not to cry," she adds. "Not because it was sad, but because they're so inspiring, and so courageous."
And, Craig, 46, told PEOPLE, "It's not just the grand gesture that counts [when giving back] – it's the everyday that matters."
He and Weisz appeared to be in great spirits, cracking jokes and lamenting the freezing April rain as they gamely posed for photos and gave interviews about their adopted cause. Weisz, who has a 7-year-old son, Henry, with ex Darren Aronofsky (Craig has a grown daughter, Ella), said she's trying to parent by example when it comes to charity work.
"Kids watch their parents closely. They watch everything they do – the good things and the bad things," she said. "So hopefully they grow up in a culture of caring about others, and it will be up to them to decide what they want to do, but hopefully it will rub off on them."
Over a dinner of burrata, grilled halibut and vanilla cream meringue layer cake, the couple mingled with other guests before taking the stage to receive their honor, introduced by "OppNet" student Prisma Herrera.
As they stood close at the podium, Weisz rubbed her husband's back as he paid tribute to the students – some of whom were the first in their families to graduate high school and attend college thanks to OppNet's intensive program – and at one point the pair exchanged a long, loving glance.
OppNet's founder Jessica Pliska praised the acting duo as true humanitarians during the event. "People who know them all say the same thing and know this to be true – they're incredibly authentic, they really care about this, and this night really meant a lot to them."
"You can't always say that about everyone ... especially two superstars," she added. "We hit the jackpot."

Mandal Headboard from Ikea: Think Outside the Bedroom
We don't need a headboard but we've been eyeing the Mandal at Ikea for a while. We like it, as it's shown here, stacked three high… We'd like it even better in a high gloss white, against a white wall, where its black shelves would become almost sculptural. We even think we might like it used, not as a headboard, but just as a bookcase, running along a long hallway, its shelves randomly placed, holding favorite objects. RELATED LINKS:

BOCA RATON, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Bradley Ray Street, a 31 year old Boca Raton resident, died early this morning when a car illegally entered the intersection of Palmetto Park Road and US 441, crashing into his car.
According to the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office, Street was heading west on Palmetto Park Road and entered the intersection on a green light around 1am. Kelsey Cooper, a 32 year old Boca man, was heading north on 441 and ran the red light — crashing into Street.
Investigators — who call the crash "violent" — say Cooper was likely impaired by alcohol and/or drugs. Toxicology results are pending, as are charges.

A recent report by the Food Research and Action Center found that more than one in five Pennsylvania families with children struggle to put food on the table. Members of Congress expressed shock and indignation at the findings. Rep. Bob Brady (D., Pa.), who represents a district where nearly half the families are at risk of hunger, said the report shone a "glaring spotlight" on the hardship American children are experiencing.
As bleak as the figures were, though, the report shouldn't have been news to anyone who's picked up a newspaper since the start of the recession - let alone anyone representing Pennsylvania in Congress. The study merely confirmed what lawmakers should know full well: that tens of thousands of families in their districts can't afford the food they need.

In addition to his goal of leading Westtown to a Friends Schools League championship, Jared Nickens is preparing for his future career at Maryland.
"I want to become stronger, find more ways to create my own shot, get better at coming off screens, and get to the foul line more," the 6-foot-6, 180-pound senior wing said.
With Nickens making all eight of his free-throw attempts en route to 16 points, the visiting Moose nipped Academy of the New Church, 42-40, in overtime in an FSL showdown Tuesday in Bryn Athyn.
"We struggled with our energy level at times," he said. "There weren't a lot of fans in the gym. That may have affected us somewhat."

Spending E-learning credits with Schools' ICT Services|
A number of schools have enquired about the use of e-Learning Credits and whether the Schools' ICT Services was an authorised reseller.
The Westfield Centre is now registered as an accredited reseller of software on the Curriculum On-Line web site, under Lancashire County Council with the supplier ID 6232. Schools may therefore purchase software that is approved under the e-Learning Credits Scheme. We will purchase from those accredited suppliers on your behalf. Clearly the bulk purchases available will be advantageous in the discounts that can be negotiated on behalf of schools.
Schools wishing to take purchase materials with e-learning credits should contact Diane Robinson at the Westfield Centre on (01772) 450 705.
If you purchase materials with e-learning credits please clearly mark all orders under the e-Learning Credits scheme and ensure that similar note is maintained within school for validating claims for the DfES.
Remember Podd|
What can Podd do? is the original Podd activity. Podd waits for the children to type in a verb. If he doesn't recognise the verb, Podd says 'Oh no, I can't'. When Podd recognises a verb, he will speak it aloud and perform the action. Indigo Learning have re-vamped this old favourite and its is now available from the site listed below.

This November a coalition of anti-Muslim and Religious Right groups are hosting "The Constitution or Sharia—Preserving Freedom Conference" in Nashville, Tennessee, dubbed "the first national conference on Sharia and the Islamization of America." The location does not seem to be coincidental: the Tennessee legislature recently weighed a bill that would make it a felony to follow Sharia law and the town of Murfreesboro, just south of Nashville, has witnessed vicious anti-Muslim attacks and arson against a planned mosque. A lawsuit against the mosque declared that... MORE

When you listen to David Barton on a regular basis, you learn all sorts of interesting things - a lot of them happen to be false and/or terrifying, but interesting nonetheless. For instance, on "Wallbuilders Live" today he explained that federal judges are not appointed for life but simply "during good behavior," which means that any time any judge issues a ruling that Congress does not like, they simply have to convene a hearing, force the judge to defend the ruling, and then impeach them: Rick Green: So where is the accountability if a judge is appointed...

Following the certification of the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell, the Family Research Council today is asking members to pray that the "godless policy be reversed." Their prayer alert echoes the message of FRC president Tony Perkins that the organization will be dedicated to monitoring the supposedly devastating consequences of Don't Ask Don't Tell's repeal. The group warns that the "Pandora's Box has been opened" and that President Obama will need to answer "questions about religious freedom, conscience exemptions, and same-... MORE

While in Amarillo, Texas, after his archdiocese recalled him from New York over allegations of financial mismanagement, Frank Pavone of Priests for Life is still making his voice heard. Pavone writes in his blog today that in the same way voters cannot find common ground with politicians that support terrorism, they can't find common ground with pro-choice candidates: "When I preach – and help other priests to preach – the clear message that candidates and parties must defend life, some – including clergy – complain to me that my message hurts their...

On his radio program yesterday, Bryan Fischer argued that the next President must take a stand for limited government by vetoing any budget that contains any spending that Fischer's believes falls outside the parameters of Article 1, Section 8 of the Constitution. Claiming that the government "no moral authority" to do anything about schools or roads or pretty much anything else, Fischer called for the wholesale elimination of the Departments of Education, Agriculture, Transportation, and Health and Human Services as well as the Federal Housing Administration: Once...

Today's installment of Liberty Counsel's "Faith and Freedom Radio" program was dedicated to promoting next month's Values Voter Summit, which Liberty Counsel is co-sponsoring along with the Family Research Council and the American Family Association. During the broadcast, Matt Barber said that this year's gathering was more important than ever because conservatives must stand together as Liberals are realizing that their hold on government is about to disappear and, as such, are engaging in outrageous rhetoric and pointed to the recent remarks by James Hoffa as evidence. At Mat... MORE

A few weeks we wrote a post noting that, at her core, Michele Bachmann was just a Religious Right activist who got elected to Congress and now hopes to become president. In that post, we compared Bachmann to fringe right-wing activist Janet Porter but it would probably have been more accurate to compare her to Phyllis Schlafly, as that is what Bachmann herself did on a recent "Tea Party Cyber-Town Hall and Webcast" where she lauded Schlafly as her heroine, mentor and everything that Bachmann hopes to be while also calling her the most important woman in the US in the...

The study presents observations of biopsies from 47 patients with cutaneous sarcoidosis and 45 patients with tuberculoid leprosy. Epidermal changes showing parakeratosis, liquefaction degeneration, and glycogen occur more frequently in sarcoidosis. Nerve invasion is seen only in tuberculoid leprosy. Infiltration of arrectores pilorum muscles frequently occurs in tuberculoid leprosy and is rare in sarcoidosis. Fibrinoid degeneration within tubercles is common in sarcoidosis and absent in tuberculoid leprosy. Attachment of tubercles to the epidermis, sharp margination of the tubercles, and naked-appearing tubercles are seen more frequently in sarcoidosis than in tuberculoid leprosy. Elongateshaped tubercles and lymphocytes within, and forming a mantle about, tubercles are prominent and seen more frequently in tuberculoid leprosy. Cutaneous sarcoidosis and tuberculoid leprosy show similar microscopic features, but distinction can be made on the basis of critical histopathologic and histochemical evaluation.
