There exists a fairly rare group of genetic disorders that have unfairly branded many sufferers with the term "vampire". These poor souls are extremely sensitive to sunlight that can easily result in burns and abrasions, and so they prefer darkness. They suffer from acute attacks of abdominal pains, vomiting and loose stools. Their urine may have a purplish-red color leading some to wrongly believe that it results from drinking blood. Those afflicted may have increased hair growth, and with repeated damage, their skin tightens and shrinks. When this occurs around the mouth, the canine teeth appear to be more prominent, and suggestive of fangs. At other times, it causes depression and affects the brain to produce peculiar behavior. It is probably no surprise that garlic makes all the symptoms worse. Porphyria is a misunderstood condition that has affected the likes of Mary Queen of Scots and King George III.
Porphyria refers to a growing collection of disorders in which there are abnormalities in the enzymes involved in heme production. Heme is an iron-containing compound used throughout the body. The most common heme-containing substance found in our bodies is the hemoglobin in our red blood cells - an essential component to transport oxygen around our bodies. There are at least eight steps in the production of heme, and at least eight different types of porphyria can result when an enzyme malfunctions and levels of intermediate substances rise to beyond what the body is accustomed to. It is a condition that runs in families and is inherited. At one time, it was thought to be a dominant trait requiring only one gene from one parent, but there are recessive forms now identified in which genes need to come from both parents.
Porphyria is very difficult to diagnose. Its symptoms mimic those of a hundred other conditions. Traditional testing rarely shows a problem, and patients who develop recurrent acute attacks often require strong narcotics to control the abdominal pain. They often undergo surgery for appendicitis or ovarian conditions without positive findings, and then run the risk of being labeled with a narcotic addiction. There are no easy tests available to diagnose the various porphyria conditions. The best time to attempt diagnosis is when the symptoms are active. Special urine tests looking for PBG (porphobilinogen) and ALA (delta-aminolevulinic acid) can provide a starting clue. More intricate testing then follows in an attempt to make a precise diagnosis.
Porphyria sufferers are affected by anything that can alter the functioning of the deficient enzymes. This can occur to different degrees. Some people are affected so slightly that the diagnosis is never considered. Herbs, drugs, alcohol and even hormones can produce acute attacks by interfering with enzyme function. Sufferers are counseled as to which medications to avoid. Maintaining a hardy diet low in carbohydrates is essential. The best news of all is that if the diagnosis is considered, then infusing heme molecules produced in the laboratory can treat acute attacks. After all, heme is what the body is ultimately craving for when an attack occurs.
When encountering the supernatural, consider the evidence because it usually provides an alternately plausible explanation. Have a safe All Hallow's Eve, and remember that those vampires may be nothing more than ordinary people experiencing distress. Have a treat on me.

● 17 What is porphyria, why is it called "The Vampire Disease"? "Porphyria is actually a group of diseases, all pertaining to the metabolism of porphyrin rings that, along with iron, are responsible for the oxygen-carrying properties of hemoglobin--the red ingredient in blood. Porphyria is a very rare genetic disorder and is not contagious."
● What Is Porphyria? from WiseGeek. "All types of porphyria are rare, and the condition is often misdiagnosed . . . Diagnosis is made through analysis of urine, blood, or stool samples, and tests . . . There is no cure for porphyria, but it can be managed through diet and drug therapy . . . Biochemist David Dolphin speculated in a 1985 speech that erythropoietic porphyria cases may have been the basis for vampire legends, due to the sufferers' sensitivity to light and strange appearance. He also suggested that people with porphyria may have craved and ingested blood in the belief that it would alleviate their symptoms and that they have an aversion to garlic, but neither of these speculations has ever been substantiated."
● Vampires/Dracula from Castle of Spirits by Rowena Gilbert. "Another medical condition attributed to vampires publicly aired by Professor David Dolphin (Canadian biochemist) in 1982 is that they could be suffering from a congenital blood disorder known as iron-deficiency porphyria now dubbed 'Dracula Disease'. The metabolism of sufferers is very inefficient in combining iron with complex compounds called porphyrins to yield haem, an much needed component of the blood pigment haemoglobin. The disease results in their skin becoming increasingly impregnated with iron-free porphyrins, which are stimulated by daylight to incite a chain of reactions causing skin lesions and other disfigurements. To avoid this, sufferers tend to only come out at night - they also suffer from gum tightening which causes the teeth to protrude - giving them vampire-like appearance and habits. Even more fascinating is that garlic activates a killer enzyme which destroys that which is most valuable to them - the precious haem which their bodies is lacking - hence they are pretty much allergic to it!"

But other, older, versions of the vampire were not thought to be human at all but instead supernatural, possibly demonic, entities that did not take human form."
● Porphyria the Vampire Disease That Started the Legend by Melanie Gueco, Knoji - Consumer Knowledge. "The Vampire Disease, or porphyria in scientific term, is a set of genetic disorders characterized by the malfunction of the hemoglobin production. It is a rare disease that is said to originate from the intermarriages of the European nobility. The good news is, it is not contagious. Unfortunately, it is not curable.
While the term 'porphyria' is relatively new, the disease itself has been in existence since the beginning of time. It is referred to, before, as a liver or a blood disease due to its symptoms. It was later called the 'Vampire Disease' and was actually the start of the vampire legend."

"Archaeologists in northwestern Poland have a found a suspected vampire. The burial was found in a cemetery in the town of Kamien Pomorski. A stake had previously been driven through one leg of the skeleton. This was designed to stop it rising from the grave after its death. It also had a small rock in its mouth to stop it sucking blood from victims."

"Porphyrins are complex molecules in the body that combine with iron to produce heme, which is responsible for giving blood its red color and combines with globin to form hemoglobin. Besides delivering oxygen through the body's circulatory system, heme is important in metabolism and human physiology.
Porphyria is a genetic disease that is caused by an enzyme deficiency in heme production. Heme is synthesized from smaller molecules through several enzyme-catalyzed steps in a biochemical pathway. An enzyme deficiency in any of these steps inhibits heme production, causing porphyrins to accumulate and clog the pathway. The high level of porphyrins is responsible for the physical symptoms, such as port-colored urine, sensitivity to sunlight, and the mental instability that sometimes accompanies this disease."

We discuss the history, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment of porphyrias and then briefly describe the 8 types of porphyrias and their distinguishing features."
"Porphyrins were named for the Greek root for "purple" (porphyra). The name porphyria commonly is credited to Schultz, who was a German medical student in 1874. B.J. Stokvis, MD, made the first clinical description of acute porphyria in 1889. In 1930, Hans Fischer, a Nobel laureate, described heme as the crypt that makes blood red and grass green. In 1937, Waldenström in Sweden published his findings on one specific type of porphyria, acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). By the 1960s, all known types of porphyria had been identified and environmental factors were shown to affect the disease course. Research in the 1980s and 1990s led to the identification of the molecular defects in each type of porphyria. Currently, scientists have focused on gene therapy as a treatment for porphyria."

Nuclear North Korea
Will North Korea give up its nuclear and missile programs? Under what conditions could this take place, and what are the consequences if the DPRK insists on being a nuclear weapons state? Perhaps most importantly, what will the passing of Kim Jong Il and a transfer of power mean for stability in East Asia in light of the North Korean nuclear program?
Since 2006, SSP's North Korea Research Project has considered these questions. Working with colleagues at the Korea Society, Harvard University's Korea Institute, and the John Hopkins' School of Advanced and International Study, Dr. Jim Walsh has tried to unpack the causes and consequences of the North's nuclear program and consider ways to navigate tensions on the peninsula. In the process, Dr. Walsh has traveled to Pyongyang and met with North Korea officials in the US and Europe.
The project looks forward to sponsoring an SSP Working Group on "The North in Transition" during the 2010-2011 academic year.
Related Publications:
Dr. Walsh is currently writing a book on the North Korea for Palgrave Macmillan due to be published in 2011.
This project is managed by Dr. Jim Walsh, a Research Associate at the MIT Security Studies Program.

'Glee' cast sings 'Friday,' director Eric Stoltz reflectsMay 11th, 2011, 5:42 pm by RICHARD CHANG, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
In case you missed Tuesday night's episode of "Glee" on Fox, it was the much-anticipated "Prom Queen" episode.
Though the results were spoiled weeks ago, we learned that in-the-closet jock Dave Karofsky (Max Adler) was crowned prom king, and out-of-the-closet Glee Club member Kurt Hummel (Chris Colfer) was chosen as a write-in candidate for prom queen, much to the chagrin of Quinn Fabray (Dianna Agron) and Santana Lopez (Naya Rivera). Kurt was pretty upset about it too, because it was a mean joke, but he decided to get coronated and wore the queen's crown with pride.
Because Air Supply reportedly canceled, the New Directions Glee Club provided the evening's entertainment. During the latter half of the episode, three members of New Directions (Puck, Sam and Artie) sang the infamous song "Friday," originally recorded by 13-year-old Anaheim Hills resident Rebecca Black. The video for "Friday" -- which has been labeled by critics and online haters as the worst song and music video in the history of pop music -- has attracted more than 136 million views on YouTube.
The "Glee" cover of "Friday" is passable -- you can listen to it here. What it means is this: "Glee" has officially sanctified the song as part of the popular culture. The TV show has done this with many other tunes, including "Don't Stop Believin' " by Journey and "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry.Read the rest of this entry »

A Dauphin County jury that is weighing the case against Rashawn Mosley for a 2004 murder in Harrisburg told Judge Scott A. Evans this afternoon that it is having difficulty reaching a verdict.
The jurors have been deliberating since Thursday morning. Earlier today, they asked to review a recorded statement Mosley, 26, made to police nearly eight years ago regarding the slaying of Christopher Thompson, 23, in Hall Manor.
Mosley is accused of fatally shooting Thompson during a robbery that occurred when Thompson and a friend drove to Hall Manor in the middle of the night to buy heroin.
Mosley on Wednesday recanted the recorded 2004 statement in which police said he confessed to Thompson's murder. His stepbrother, Christopher Stephenson, also recanted a statement he gave to police in 2004 implicating Mosley in the killing.
In asking to hear Mosley's 2004 statement again, the jurors told Evans they wanted to try to gauge whether it was given voluntarily or, as Mosley claimed, was coerced by police.
When the jury told Evans of its difficulties he told the jurors to go back to the deliberation room and "wipe the slate clean, start things over."
"I don't think we can find another jury better than you folks to decide this case," Evans said.
Mosley pleaded guilty to third-degree murder in 2005 for Thompson's slaying and was sentenced to 20 to 40 years in state prison. He appealed and in 2010 the state Superior Court sent the case back to the county for trial.
Charges the jury is weighing include first- and second-degree murder. A conviction on either of those counts would send Mosley to prison for life.

text: Just got a Chargemaster this past week and I am not that pleased with its speed. It is just a touch faster than I am when I throw light charges in my lee perfect powder measure and then trickle the last bit. The problem is that it is throwing powder either spot on or as much as almost 1/10 gn over my 43.1gn of H4350 for my 260. I don't have the time to reload and test the velocity and SD for the loads from the Chargemaster, so does anyone know how big of an impact would you expect this to have on my SD? I will be shooting this out to 1200m or so pretty soon and have already had repeatable hits on a 9"x16" steel at 1Km but that was with my trickled loads.

Former lightweight title challenger Nate Diaz has taken the UFC to task in recent months on everything from unfair fighter pay (via Fight! Magazine, h/t Bloody Elbow) to undeserving title challengers (via Twitter).
While a number of topics have irked the 28-year-old, it remains a mystery as to what motivated him to seemingly request his release from the UFC on Wednesday afternoon over Twitter. Diaz sent out a cryptic tweet that tagged both the UFC and Dana White, asking for his release from the promotion by citing it was time for him to move on:
@ufc @danawhite I would like to request to be released from the @ufc Its time for me to be on my way .. ?— Nathan Diaz (@NateDiaz209) February 26, 2014
The question mark at the end makes it hard to decipher whether or not Diaz was being completely serious. As the staff over at Fightland pointed out, The Ultimate Fighter 5 winner could merely have been poking fun at the recent contract negotiations between the UFC and fellow Gracie Jiu-Jitsu fighter Gilbert Melendez. On the other hand, Diaz did publicly feud with White earlier this month regarding his contract status.
Either way, the fact remains that the longtime UFC fighter—he has been with the organization since 2007—made a public play to be released from his contract.
Did Diaz seriously request his release?
Diaz has been successful in four of his last six showings inside the Octagon, with his most recent outing resulting in an impressive first-round knockout over Gray Maynard. His November victory over the former No. 1 contender reestablished Diaz as a major player in the lightweight title race, but his next bout has yet to be scheduled.
If Diaz's request is any indication of his future with the UFC, though, that next fight could come with a different MMA promotion.

FOXBOROUGH – Asked what he is looking to improve upon in his second season, running back Stevan Ridley didn't miss a beat.
"Not fumbling," he said.
Last season Ridley began to overtake BenJarvus Green-Ellis as the lead back, carrying 39 times for 210 yards over the final three weeks of the season, but after fumbling in Week 17 and again in the divisional round of the playoffs against Denver, he didn't touch the field again.
Those images have haunted Ridley and he knows it's an issue that must be remedied for him to have a shot at replacing Green-Ellis, who left for Cincinnati over the winter.
"You look back and you learn from your mistakes," Ridley said. "Two fumbles on the ground you can't have, but this is a new year, you can't live in the past, but you should have to remember what you did that took away that plan."
Ridley joked that he may have carried a ball with him everywhere he went like Omar Epps did in "The Program" if he were younger, and instead opted to focus on his fundamentals.
"It's just going to be holding onto the football high and tight, focusing on that and just keep doing what I'm doing," he said. "Just playing the game the way I do, the way I know how to do it."
By doing that, he hopes that he can earn the trust of the coaching staff and take on a bigger role this season, but Ridley refused to proclaim that the job should be his.
"I wouldn't say it's my time, because I'm not the coach, I can't make that call," Ridley said. "It's my time to go out there and work hard, I know that.
"I know I'm going to have to go out there and bust it everyday if I want to hit that playing field, so I will say that that's what it is with my time. To be my time, to be the guy, no I'm not going to say that at all. I'm just going to go out there and work hard everyday."

how much more competitive is it to transfer to H from a state school even with almost perfect standardized test scores?
|By Fingercuffs2006 (Fingercuffs2006) on Thursday, January 08, 2004 - 09:40 pm: Edit
Close to impossible. But I'm trying anyways. I'm currently in my second year at Texas Tech University's Honors College, 3.9 GPA, 1510 SAT, state and nationally recognized clarinet player. The booklet they sent me says "Last year 55 students were admitted from over 1,000 applicants." That's an admit rate of about 5%. If you're serious about transferring, apply to several schools. In fact, one item on Harvard's transfer app asks you, "What alternative to Harvard are you considering?" They constantly remind you how ridiculous your odds of admission are throughout the application. Fun times. Good luck!
|By Kiwinuts (Kiwinuts) on Thursday, January 08, 2004 - 11:04 pm: Edit
hi fingercuffs2006! thanks for your feedback! Glad im not the only one on this. Please tell me if you get in, I will do likewise. Good luck!
Are you also applying to all the ivies?
And are you submitting sat II scores? I dont have them and I dont know whether I should take them or not...
|By Fingercuffs2006 (Fingercuffs2006) on Friday, January 09, 2004 - 01:03 am: Edit
Yes, I'm submitting SAT II scores. The booklet says "Applicants are encouraged, but not required, to submit the results of three College Board SAT II: Subject Tests." With so much competition, anything that says "strongly encouraged," "recommended," or "you might wanna do blahblahblah," I'm reading as "required" even if they technically are not.
I'm not applying to all the ivies. I've requested nearly all of their applications, but I won't send them all out. A couple I've looked at and decided they aren't for me, and one that starts with B and rhymes with "crown" doesn't offer financial aid to transfers. So no dice there. I'm not putting all my stock into ivy schools though; I'm also applying to UT-Austin and Rice.
On a fun side note, Harvard has a grammatical error in one of the faculty reference forms:
"Please estimate the degree of success that this student will be achieve in his or her academic program at Harvard (please circle one)"
On the other reference form, though, the word "be" isn't there and it's grammatically correct. Neat stuff.
I retook the SAT IIs, and when I got back the scores, my old SAT I and SAT II scores from my high school years were no longer on my score report. So I'm gonna have to pay some fee for them to retrieve my scores. Bunch of BS.
I'll let you know how it goes. We can help each other out, etc. Where are you applying from?
|By Pembroke (Pembroke) on Wednesday, January 21, 2004 - 01:38 am: Edit
Hey, I too am applying to Harvard as a transfer. I am curious about your comment on the SAT II exams. I did not do phenomenally well but have two years of college. I spoke with the transfer department, and they said that the SAT I is still very important but the SAT II is not if transferring. What do you think? I would love to know what the important steps are to take. It seems so difficult and random sometimes.
|By Fingercuffs2006 (Fingercuffs2006) on Thursday, January 22, 2004 - 01:37 am: Edit
They're not required. Besides, two years of solid performance in college outweighs any bad SAT II scores you have have. Good luck!
Where are you applying from? Texas here.
|By Fingercuffs2006 (Fingercuffs2006) on Friday, January 23, 2004 - 03:49 am: Edit
Also, I have a question about faculty recommendations. Should I get a recommendation from a professor who doesn't know me at all (class of 300 last semester) because it's the only class I've completed within my major (chemistry)? Or should I get one from a professor whose class was small enough that he/she noticed me, but risk not having a rec from a prof in my major?
The most the chem prof could really talk about is how he only gave 5 As out of 300 students (I got the highest grade) and how hard the class was. Other than that, it was flat out impossible for him to get to know me with so many students.
|By Kiwinuts (Kiwinuts) on Friday, January 23, 2004 - 08:20 pm: Edit
pembroke, what are your stats?
I was thinking about applying as a transfer too --but now, i dont know...
SAT IIs arent as important (as they said) ONLY if you had taken them in highschool -- i think taking them in college and not doing too well doesnt seem like a good thing (considering you are a soph in college).
|By Transferkid (Transferkid) on Sunday, January 25, 2004 - 02:18 am: Edit
Count me in too. Applying from UNC Chapel Hill.
Fingercuffs: Since you have two rec's, you might as well give one to that prof of your 300 student class. It would still be a good indication of "strong preparation in field of specialization", as said in the harvard website.
Pembroke: if your sat2's aren't that great, there is no need to include them in your app. I dont think that mentioning them would increase your chances.
Kiwinuts: pembroke has two years of college, and is therefore a junior. His sat2's are therefore even less important, regardless of when he took them.
|By Nivea (Nivea) on Monday, January 26, 2004 - 11:28 pm: Edit
OK, I have a question. I am a part-time student right now; I was also a part-time student last summer, albeit I was a full-time student last fall. I know that those classes will not transfer, but I am more worried about being not eligible to apply than five classes transferring. So, my question is, how will those semesters factor in to the two-year, full-time eligibility requirement?
|By Transferkid (Transferkid) on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 05:50 pm: Edit
If that full-time fall semester is the only college level work you've had so far, I am afraid you might not qualify because you need a minimum of "one continuous academic year of full time study". This is explained by the fact that part time study does not transfer. Were you to be admitted, you would therefore enroll as a freshman, and would not be filling any gap for the class of 2007.
However if this is your sophomore year, then you should be in good shape
Dont know if this answers your question...
|By Nivea (Nivea) on Tuesday, January 27, 2004 - 08:29 pm: Edit
Actually, I didn't apply this year, and I'm not planning on applying for transfer admissions until next year or the year after. Also, I'm already aware of the freshman and transfer admission procedures. I just wanted to know how those three semesters will factor in. That's all.
Thanks for your help, though.
|By Pacman (Pacman) on Friday, January 30, 2004 - 01:47 pm: Edit
How important are high school GPAs?
If I'm applying as a sophomore for their junior class?
|By Fingercuffs2006 (Fingercuffs2006) on Wednesday, February 04, 2004 - 12:15 am: Edit
Ahhhhh, my Harvard transfer app is officially SENT. What a load off! At first I didn't take it too seriously because of the low admit rate for transfers but as time went on, I put my heart and soul into it. I admit now I'll be a little disappointed if they don't need me. All I need to do now is get my Dean's Report done.
Pacman: High school GPAs are not too important for those of us already in our second year of college. An upward grade trend from high school to college would be favorable, however, if your grades in high school are generally higher than your college grades, depending on your schools and courses, it could work against you. If you're applying to be a junior, though, college grades really count the most.
|By Kiwinuts (Kiwinuts) on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 04:51 am: Edit
Does anyone know what the transfer eligibility is specifically based on? That is, credits? academic semesters (excluding summers)?
|By Pacman (Pacman) on Friday, February 06, 2004 - 10:31 am: Edit
go to the Harvard website. How are you going to transfer to Harvard if you are so lazy to even check this?
|By Kiwinuts (Kiwinuts) on Monday, February 09, 2004 - 06:06 pm: Edit
um... pacman shut up.
For your information, I did all my homework -- and if you misunderstood my question, it was whether harvard bases eligibility on specifically credits or academics semesters BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT SPECIFIC on the website.
By the way, if youre not going to be helpful, mind your business!

does anyone applying to harvard as transfers have a harvard-caliber HS record? or close to it? But missed getting in as a freshman by a margin?
You, fingercuffs?
I think Im gonna take harvard summer classes...
|By Kiwinuts (Kiwinuts) on Friday, February 13, 2004 - 07:06 pm: Edit
by the way, good luck with all your apps ppl!
Also, come back and post results! I will do the same =)
|By Fingercuffs2006 (Fingercuffs2006) on Sunday, February 15, 2004 - 03:58 am: Edit
Well, trying to decide what a Harvard-caliber HS record is can be a debatable thing, especially since you don't see essays, recs, and other stuff. All I can offer you are some stats:
Graduated 10 out of 642 from suburban Houston high school
SAT: 800m, 710v
SAT 2: 780 math IIc, 760 writing, 670 physics
National Merit Commended
AP Scholar With Distinction (took 9 AP exams my senior year, two of which I studied on my own for since our school didn't offer the courses)
I'm extremely angular when it comes to ECs; almost everything I like to do has to do with playing the clarinet. I've been in band and orchestra every year, was a drum major for the marching band, played in Carnegie Hall my freshman year, was a 3-time Texas All-State musician (ranked as high as 2nd), won the U.S. Marine Corps Semper Fidelis award for musicianship, won the John Philip Sousa Award, and all kinds of other music stuff.
Aside from the music stuff, I have the standard boring ECs like NHS, Spanish Honor Society, etc...ooo but I have also published 4 poems in two literary magazines, and I might write a chapter about media bias for a book that my friends (and hopefully me?) are writing. It's a political book aimed at kids to get them involved in issues and politics. We'll see if this falls through or not.
Now I'm in my second year of college. Basically, I have the same kind of stuff for college, except now my grades are better (all As except one B+), and the fact that I'm in the Honors College will help out since I'm in a third tier university and Harvard may look down on that (I hope not?). Anyway, all I can do now is hope they like me.

Hi guys (and girls although I think all the posts are guys),
Like all of you, I've sent my application to Harvard. I was wondering the following question:
Do you think that a school like Harvard is more likey to accept transfer students that were academic superstars in high school as well as college? or is harvard looking for people that change themselves? I know that some school look for transfers who had the power to change their lives but I havent heard that from Harvard. I know that all of you dont have the answers but I would still be curious of what you have to say.

Spatial-division multiplexing in the form of few-mode fibers has captured the attention of researchers since it is an attractive approach to significantly increase the channel capacity. However, the optical components employed in such systems introduce mode-dependent loss or gain (MDL) due to manufacturing imperfections, leading to significant system impairments. In this work the impact of MDL from optical amplifiers in few-mode fibers with either weak or strong mode coupling is analyzed for a 3x136-Gbit/s DP-QPSK mode-division multiplexed transmission system. It is shown that strong mode coupling reduces the impact of MDL in a similar manner as that polarization-dependent loss is reduced in single mode fibers by polarization-mode dispersion.

Custodians and nutritional services workers have reached a tentative contract agreement with Portland Public Schools.
The contract for custodians doesn't contain pay increases, but the district will contribute more toward their health insurance, said Ed Hershey, communications director for the Service Employees International Union, which represents both categories of workers.
Nutritional service workers will receive three cost of living increases of 2.5 percent over the life of their contract, which runs through July 2009. The first increase takes effect immediately; the second takes effect July 1st, and the third takes effect July 1, 2009. Nutritional workers also will get paid for the Martin Luther King Day, Jr. holiday and will receive the right to take paid personal days whenever they wish.
Bargaining for both groups of workers began last May; their contracts expired in June. SEIU and district officials have been in mediation since December.
"This agreement feels right," said Dan Ryan, School Board co-chair, in a prepared statement. "It's fair to our workers, is responsible given our budget constraints and is right for our schools and students. I appreciate that both sides worked diligently and creatively to get to this solution."
SEIU has scheduled a ratification vote Feb. 16. School board members are slated to vote on the contract Feb. 25.

The Haskell has the star power it was searching for.
After a workout this morning in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., with jockey Rosie Napravnik aboard, trainer Steve Asmussen confirmed his super filly Untapable will make her next start at Monmouth Park for the $1 million William Hill Haskell Invitational on July 27.
"I was very pleased with her, she breezed extremely well," Asmussen said in a release from Monmouth Park. "Weather permitting, we'll breeze her again next Monday and then plan to ship her to Monmouth either Wednesday or Thursday of race week."
Asmussen also confirmed that Napravnik, a Jersey native, will be aboard the filly for the Haskell. Napravnik, who finished second in last year's Haskell aboard Power Broker, is just coming back from a shoulder injury that kept her out of action for just over a month.
Bob Kulina, president of Darby Development LLC, operators of Monmouth Park, said Untapable's owner Ron Winchell called him at about 10 a.m. today to inform him of the good news after Untapable breezed five furlongs in 1:01. 1/5.
"Whenever a filly is running it's a big story and obviously she is an extremely talented filly and has a bright future in front of her," Kulina said. "That she can take on the males just makes the Haskell great. One more time it looks like we're going to have a really exciting event."
Asmussen has already had success at the Haskell with a filly when Rachel Alexandra dominated the field over a sloppy track in 2009. Serena's Song also successfully took on the colts in the Haskell with a victory in 1995.
Napravnik will also be seeking some history on Haskell Day. No female jockey has ever won the Haskell. Julie Krone has a Haskell mount four times but was never able to finish better than third.
"So maybe instead of 'Born to Run', we should play Bruce's version of 'Jersey Girl' because Rosie is coming home for Jersey's biggest race," Kulina said.
Untapable, who is undefeated this year including two dominant victories in the Kentucky Oaks and Mother Goose, will face an ever-growing field in the centerpiece of Monmouth Park's racing season.
Preakness starters Bayern and Social Inclusion confirmed in June they would be heading to Oceanport for the Haskell. A few other Triple Crown contenders in Medal Count and Wildcat Red will likely join Untapable in the Haskell gate.
A few horses familiar with the Monmouth Park oval will also join the field. Long Branch Stakes winner Irish You Well and runner-up Just Call Kenny are pointed toward the Haskell. Pegasus Stakes winner Albano, trained by Larry Jones, will join them.
But all eyes, undoubtedly, will be on Untapable. With Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome preparing to return to training this week after an extended vacation, Untapable is trying to make a play for 3-year-old of the year. A victory in the Haskell would go a long way to achieving that goal.
"We were pretty pleased that she's going to add that intrigue to what was going to be a very competitive field," Kulina said. "And now it's going to be a more interesting story line. It should make for a wonderful day and hopefully we have a great race."

There's all kinds of lists about the greatest Nebraska football players ever. But as we await a new season, it might be time to take a little different slant on the list. Rather than asking who the best players were at the end of their Nebraska careers, let's think back and look at the Nebraska players who had the greatest potential. In other words, who were the players for Nebraska that had the most hype, the most buzz, coming into their careers?
Sometimes, the greatest player and the greatest potential will end up at the same place. Sometimes, not so much, although obviously the player must have some baseline level of talent. But as we look toward the start of a new season with a lot of new faces on the field, it might be helpful to think back and see where we have been.
Keep in mind, if ranking the greatest Nebraska players at the end of their careers is a difficult and subjective task, then ranking the potential greatest players at the beginning of their careers is even more challenging. Historical recruiting information is also very difficult to locate, meaning it is difficult to ascertain or substantiate the recruiting of past Huskers.
So this list is a bit of a leap of faith and my best shot to answer the question put before you. Please share your thoughts, comments, criticisms and suggestions in the comments section below.

i am frm the uk and i have got it 2
Yeah this is so pointless to the point where I actually think it is a conspiracy where the actual point of it is to observe data transfer to prepare for online gaming. Nintendo is creative.
i am frm the uk and i have got it 2
I tried to update this morning after getting all excited about my blue lush blue light being there to greet me and an wii-mail telling me to go get a new channel...
The channel did not download and I was disappointed.
My first thoughts on the idea of the channel were negative - just another way to get free marketing info and get people to take surveys in a 'fun' way.
It does depend on the content and what you get for participation by way of 'rewards' and incentives.
At the end of a gaming session I normally have a quick look at all the channels (Weather/News/Shop/Mii/Photo) so I guess I will probably use it.
Interesting to see what others think.
Deffo think they should be getting the online gaming stuff sorted before PS3 hits the beach!
This thread is pointless as pointed out earlier. Not to mention there are several others JUST LIKE THIS ONE! As for this new channel I don't mind nor hate it. Perhaps Nintendo is trying to gauge how much online activity is going on right now to see whether or not their program can handle all the users at once. Who knows!? I for one though like the idea/concept and will probably answer the random polls because I like to see other peoples opinions. Not to mention its FREE. As in its no skin off your back if you don't like it. Nintendo isn't forcing you to download it.
I have it aswell.
Its free, its novel and its fun for now so what.
I suggested a potical question about Iraq which I doubt they'll post.
Official Wii MemberProud owner of:

I typed in a question myself. Which old style games do you prefer?
Kirby games
Mario games
I never played any Kirby games but they seem pretty popular.
ok so another post about this new channel..
oh well;
i posted something like smurfette did here, for now its pointless (kind of), but its hopefully gonna be used to find out the most popular choices for new vc games, maybe ideas for new channels etc...
i doubt nintendo would bother with something as pointless as whether we prefer 'cats or dogs', or 'sleeping or eating'
or if they did i think they need help with their plans
I hate it when people complain about free stuff. It isn't as if Nintendo have said "here's our new channel, now give us some cash." They've given us this channel for free, and given us the option of downloading it or not. Why complain? Either download it or don't. Either use it or don't. There isn't really any point in criticising the thing.
Regarding the new channel, I think it is great. Much better than my initial impression when I first read Nintendo's message. I'm going to really enjoy having this channel, seeing the results of old polls, seeing how accurate my predictions were, the new polls going up, etc.
Nintendo are really succeeding in building an all-round machine that serves different purposes and targets different audiences. As well as gaming, both current-gen and retro, we have the serious, mainstream channels of Internet, News and Forecast, and now have a fun, light-hearted, gimmicky channel with this Everybody Votes thing. Ninty are giving us reasons to turn on our Wiis daily, which is a great strategy because the longer the machine is on, the more likely games are to be played. More games played = more games bought = more money for Nintendo.
That isn't a cynical outlook, because Nintendo seem to value consumer enjoyment as much as personal well-being.
I bet you Nintendo are Selling Market Research!!!
"Free stuff" my ass...
Not everything thats free is good. For instance I gave my friend a "free" kick in the balls the other day just for fun. Ask him if he liked getting his nuts booted whilst eating his cereal...

Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser of Qatar Contributes $20 million to UNESCO
14.12.2011 - UNESCO's Special Envoy for Basic and Higher Education, Her Highness Sheikha Mozah Bint Nasser of Qatar, is making an immediate contribution of $20 million to help UNESCO manage its financial shortfall. Her Highness met with UNESCO's Director-General, Irina Bokova, on 11 December in Qatar and committed the funding support during the meeting. It is the first step in a longer-term engagement with the Organization.
"This is a most welcome expression of support for UNESCO," stated the Director-General. "Her Highness is concerned that the financial difficulties faced by the Organization will have serious consequences on UNESCO's core programs."
UNESCO faces an immediate shortfall of $72 million following the suspension of U.S. contributions in October. A further $167 million is required to meet budgetary commitments for 2012 and 2013.

I've heard of being buried in the sand, but Amanda Merrill, 14, of Fabius, was being buried in the corn this morning.
Her younger brother and three younger cousins from LeRoy were burying her in the Cargill corn playfield.
The children piled the corn on top of Merrill just like you would if you were burying someone in the sand.
"It feels funky," she said. "It's heavy."
Merrill and her brother Nathaniel dyed their hair green. They attend Faith Heritage School and are not allowed to dye their hair during school, so this was one last hoorah before school starts.

When Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital opens in November 2016, residents of Lorain County will have a high-tech, patient friendly hospital in their backyard.
"The hospital will offer many services that our community hasn't had before," says Brent Burkey, MD, Vice President of Medical Operations. "We're excited about offering the newest medical technology."

Doing what's best for employees and seeking progressive ways to control employee benefit costs, ShurTech Brands LLC recently opened an employee health clinic in its Avon headquarters facility. Operated and staffed by Cleveland Clinic physician assistant Stacey Herman and includes an exam room and lab. The space will give ShurTech's more than 350 employees convenient access to world-class health care.
"Within our health system, we have taken steps toward value-based care and cost containment through management of chronic conditions," says Joseph Knapp, MD, Regional Administration, who directs the new clinic. "Now, through this relationship with ShurTech, we have extended the model into an employer setting."
Designed as a "hospital of the future," Cleveland Clinic has broken ground on its new hospital in Avon, which is scheduled to open in 2016.
The five-story, 221,500-square-foot addition, estimated at more than $143 million, will be built onto the north side of the existing Richard E. Jacobs Health Center located off Nagel Road. The new facility will have 126 private hospital rooms, including a small intensive care unit which can be converted into an observation or a medical-surgical unit based on patient needs.
Learn the latest information in your community in our Health Essentials newsletter.
Ground has officially broken on the new Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital. Due to the construction, new parking spots are available at Richard E. Jacobs Health Center. All parking spaces west of the facility are now open for patient and visitor parking. Complimentary valet and shuttle services are also available for your convenience.
We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience and understanding during this construction phase.
Twenty women celebrated their breast cancer survival with a day of pampering, provided by members of Richard E. Jacobs' breast health team. The survivors were treated to a morning of free facials, make-up application and mini massages. Afterwards, the women enjoyed lunch and an afternoon of educational talks on skincare after cancer, breast reconstruction and nutrition after cancer from Cleveland Clinic experts.

Spending on Trail Often Gets Personal
Political candidates are telling voters that Congress needs to tighten its belt and cut wasteful government spending. A review of federal disclosures suggests many candidates aren't applying the lesson to their own campaign finances.
Rep. Robert Aderholt, an Alabama Republican, regularly used his campaign funds to pay his babysitter. Republican Rep. John Duncan spent nearly $1,000 on tickets to the Knoxville Ice Bears, a minor league hockey team in his district. Democratic Rep. Robert Andrews spent $6 from his account at Liquor Mart in Bellmawr, N.J.
Mr. Aderholt's campaign pays for babysitters when he has campaign events in Washington, a spokesman said. Mr. Duncan's ice-hockey tickets are "a way to support the hometown team," said Patrick Newton, a spokesman for the campaign.
Mr. Andrews said he stopped by the liquor store for a gift to bring to a constituent's holiday party. "It couldn't have been a very generous gift for $6. I'm a little embarrassed," Mr. Andrews said in an interview. "My supporters would tend to be beer drinkers."
Such expenses are generally permitted because election law lets candidates dip into their funds to cover nearly any cost related to running for office. Candidates disclose their campaign's receipts and expenditures on a regular basis to the Federal Election Commission, usually four times a year. Campaigns file more frequent reports in the weeks before an election.
"It doesn't take too much creativity to shoehorn an expenditure that may appear personal into some campaign activity," said Ken Gross, an election lawyer with Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.
For years, candidates for office have used election funds for seemingly unrelated costs. Democratic Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada in 2002, 2004 and 2005 used his re-election account to hand out $3,300 in holiday bonuses to doormen and staff at his home at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Washington.
Mr. Reid's lawyer said in 2006 the tips were permissible because Mr. Reid often held campaign events at home. The current Senate majority leader reimbursed the expenses "to prevent the issue from being used as a distraction," the lawyer said in a filing with the FEC.
House Minority Leader John Boehner (R., Ohio) often dips into his campaign funds to pay for rounds of golf. Mr. Boehner says the expenses are for fund-raising events.
On rare occasions, a lawmaker's campaign expenses will run afoul of the rules. In 2007, New York Democratic Rep. Gregory Meeks's campaign agreed to pay a $63,000 fine in part for using his election account to pay for a fitness trainer. Mr. Meeks said he didn't know about the expenditure and his treasurer took the blame in an affidavit.
Last year, Rep. Steve Buyer, an Indiana Republican who is not running for re-election, paid for green fees of $101 and $162 at Dallas National Golf Club in Texas, a private golf course ranked by Golf Digest as the best in the Lone Star State. A spokesman for Mr. Buyer didn't return calls seeking comment.
Rep. Mike Doyle, a Pennsylvania Democrat, often uses his campaign funds to pay for funeral baskets. Mr. Doyle's report shows he bought 21 funeral baskets for a total of about $3,000 in the last two years. Mr. Doyle lists the reason for the outlay as "operating expense" on his election-spending reports.
Election rules prohibit candidates from using campaign funds to pay for funeral costs unless the candidate, campaign employee or volunteer dies while campaigning. But an exception to that rule allows candidates to use re-election funds to pay for gifts of "nominal value" for constituents.
Live Updates on Election Night
Mr. Doyle's campaign also charged $241 on lodging for the funeral of Rep. John Murtha, the Pennsylvania Democrat who died in February.
Before his death, Mr. Murtha appeared to use his campaign account frequently. In 2009, campaign records show near-weekly charges at a Giant Eagle grocery store in Johnstown in his district. The expenses, which totaled nearly $5,000 in 2009, were listed as "campaign office expenses."
In January 2009, Mr. Murtha's account paid $1,600 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, who played in the Super Bowl that Feb. 1. That March, Mr. Murtha paid another $3,000 to the Steelers for "gifts," according to his spending report.
Jan Baran, an election lawyer with Wiley Rein LLP, said the expenses could "arguably be OK" if Mr. Murtha thought it was important to "show up at the Pittsburgh game to show the Murtha flag."
Lawyers for Mr. Murtha's campaign account did not respond to requests for comment.

Of music, they're the rebels your mother doesn't want you to hang out with: the "bad boys" of Celtic rock.
Think about what you'd expect to hear at an Irish pub on St. Patrick's Day. Now imagine that the instruments are plugged into a streak of lightning, with the snarl of an electric guitar and the snap of the electric fiddle. It brings an eye-opening energy to the sound of Tempest.
Tempest has been doing its thing since 1988. The band is critically acclaimed, renowned on the folk rock circuit, and ever-evolving and enjoyable.
Tomorrow night, you can be part of it at the New Hope Winery, where Tempest is scheduled to perform its mesh of reels and ballads, taking the audience on a musical tour from Norway to Scotland to Ireland and back.
Attendees can expect a variety of songs from Tempest's wide repertoire: 15 albums (most recently signed under WEA-distributed Magna Carta Records). The latest, "Another Dawn," still carries the traditional form, yet stands apart from the band's other works.
Tempest's lineup has changed over the last 25 years. Members say that's what keeps the sound original and inventive. The cast currently comprises Greg Jones on guitar and vocals, Caith Threefires on bass, Lief Sorbye on lead vocals and mando, Kathy Buys on fiddle and vocals and Adolfo Lazo on drums.
Each member hails from a different region of the United States and the rest of the world. They bring innovation with their experience, from fiery licks and rock-steady drumming to dance-fusion fiddle lines.
They're a staple at festivals both in the States and elsewhere, whether it be the Philadelphia Folk Festival or the Skagen Festival in Denmark.
Doors open at 7 p,m.
For more information or to purchase tickets, log onto newhopewinery.com. Note that the winery charges an additional $5 for each ticket purchased online.
What else is happening
Its sound is perfect for a venue like this.
When a band or musician plays at Puck Live in Doylestown, Pa., the artists know above all things that their sound is going to consume the air and vibrate the walls.
So when a psychedelic rock group shows up, it's more than just a performance, it's a full-body experience.
Tonight, you can be part of it at Puck, where the Peace Creeps will take the stage with special guest Cliff Hillis.
Based out of Philadelphia, the Peace Creeps is led by Richard Bush, former frontman of the A's.
In the A's, Bush put out hits like "A Woman's Got the Power" and "After Last Night."
The Peace Creeps is his latest musical project, and it's got the vibe of the late '70s with a modern twist.
Bush brings it on lead vocals and guitar, Johnny Marchiano is on lead guitar and backup vocals, Roy Fisher is on bass and backup vocals, and Jeff Pancoast is on drums.
To get a sense of the experience for yourself, check out "Deep and Dreamless" at youtube.com. It's an ultimate psychedelic experience: pulsating and distant, with wiry guitar slides and reverberation.
Other songs, such as "Down the Drain," still carry the psychedelic sound, but incorporate more elements of rock and pop. The band's latest album, "Time Machine," will be available for purchase.
The show begins at 8 p.m. and ends at 11. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 on the day of the show.
For more information, log onto pucklive.com, or call (215) 348-9000. Puck is located at 1 Printers Alley, Doylestown.
Open mic
Calling all musicians:
Open Mic with Benny takes place Tuesday at the Trenton Social. Signup starts around 7 p.m., and the event starts at 8 and can last until 1:30 a.m.
The Social is located at 449 S. Broad St. For more information, log onto trentonsocial.com or call (609) 989-7777.
When: 8 p.m. tomorrow
Where: New Hope Winery, 6123 Lower York Road, New Hope, Pa.
Admission: $25/V.I.P. tickets $35; (215) 794-2331 or newhopewinery.com

North Kitsap Vikaneer
Follow sports and news from across North Kitsap School District with Herald reporter Kipp Robertson.
Follow sports and news from across North Kitsap School District with Herald reporter Kipp Robertson.
The North Kitsap School Board is being asked to approve a contract with Tremco Incorporated to replace the Gordon Elementary roof.
If approved, the roof replacement will cost the district $391,136.76, plus tax. The work will be done by Weatherproofing Technologies Inc., a branch of Tremco, which submitted the lowest bid for the project.
The board will vote on the contract during the regular board meeting on June 11 in the administration building at 18360 Caldart Ave., Poulsbo.
Replacing Gordon's roof was expected as the next big building project. As reported in March, Dave Dyess, the district's director of facilities and maintenance, hoped to have work done on the roof before the 2014-15 school year.
If the contract is approved, it will be the second roof replacement project in less than two years. The district had extensive work done on Vinland Elementary's roof the summer of 2013.
Below, a photo taken in March of a portion of Gordon's roof — above the faculty lounge — which is covered in tarp to help prevent leaks.
The tarp can be seen from above using Google Maps (click here for the satellite image).
