Ralph Helmick & Stuart Schechter
"Fata Morgana"
Sculpture - Mobile
32' x 32' x 16'
Port Everglades - Terminal 21
Ralph Helmick and associate artist Stuart Schecter designed and fabricated a giant three-dimensional pointillist ship sculpture for the lobby of Terminal 21. Measuring approximately 32 feet high, 16 feet wide and 32 feet long, the sculpture dominates the south end of the expanded cruise ship terminal. 'Fata Morgana', the sculpture's title means an optical illusion of water, also known as mirage. The image of a mid-twentieth century ocean liner and its reflection on the sea is created by more than 25,000 small cast pewter elements hung on nearly 1,700 fine cables with incredible precision to an overhead suspension grid. Visitors entering Terminal 21 on ground level would gaze up at the underside of the ship, and they could also look at the whole sculpture on the second floor of embarkation level. Viewing is limited to travelers only, other viewing is by appointment. The artists worked closely with the architecture firm, Scharf & Associates, Inc. to determine a highly visible location for the artwork.
Artist Statement
"Fata Morgana: an optical phenomenon that creates the illusion of water, often with inverted reflections of distant objects, and results from distortion of light by alternate layers of hot and cool air. Also called mirage."

Brian Giles=Bucco Killer
Well it's nearly 2am on a Friday night and just like everybody else on the WVU campus, I'm wide awake. With music blaring out my window and everybody awake and drunk, they're having a good time. Me on the other hand, am quite depressed. I hate when the Pirates lose, I hate when the Pirates lose in extra innings and I really hate when a former Pirate beats the Pirates in extra innings. All three occured tonight. In the bottom of the 12th of the 1th with Chris Burke on second Brian Giles came through with a sharp line drive into right field. It hurt inside. I had passed up a night of debouchery (yes debouchery) to stay on my couch and watch my team. It also hurt because seeing Giles come through in the clutch brought back fond memories.
The good old days of the 100 loss first season at PNC Park. Giles hit a walkoff homerun against the Astros towards the end of summer. I'll never forget fathers day 2001 when Giles slid across home plate to down the Indians and give the Pirates their first series sweep of the year. Giles was a good player and i'll never forget his batting stance, short stature, power swing and of course the McLouth-esque slicked back blonde hair.
I really do feel we should have won this game. We were right in it but squandered key opportunities. Here are my 3-up, 3-down for tonight's contest.
- Jason Jaramillo- Great plate discipline and game control. He can definately handle the weight for these next 8-10 Doumit-less weeks
- Ian Snell- solid game in a quality start. Looking to finally come around and become the starter we all knew he could be.
- Brandon Moss- 1st RBI of the year….bout time bud
- Jack Wilson- 0-5. Pooped, yes pooped out on a bunt, that could have broken the game open.
- Nyjer Morgan- while he is leading the NL in stolen bases with 6 he wa spicked off on a key base running incident in the 9th inning.
- Matt Capps- gave up the winning run, looked shaky and not his overpowering self.
Well, there's two more game to be played. With DUUUUUUUUKE on the mound tomorrow it'll be interesting to see if his hot streak continues. Gotta get the whole team back on the hot streak more than anything.

it wasn't fun for me either man, stinking Giles. Honestly I thought we were done scoring after the first run and when we fell to being down 3-1 I was about ready to give up, I thought there was no way we could put any runs on the board with the way that lineup looked in the first couple innings. I was very impressed with their ability to get the 2nd and 3rd runs with really good at bats. We only hit the ball hard a couple times (Hinske and Andy), but we still stayed in the game, which was very impressive.
McLouth is a huge loss and we probably would've won that game if he'd have been in the lineup. Let's hope he's back tonight.
Nothing like pooping out a bunt to kill a rally. I went nuts when I saw Carlos Delgado hit a basees-loaded chopper back to the pitcher for a 1-2-3 double play. What a pain in the neck. Good luck with Duke on the mound tonight. I really fancy your chances of getting a win. Ashhttp://ashleymarshall.mlblogs.com
Great series…for you guys! I've gotta give you credit, the Pirates are reallly hot right now. You really pounded my Padres hard. But Friday's game was amazing🙂 Cool year for baseball so far, huh? Who'd have thought that the Padres and the Pirates would be this good? GO PADRES!!
Brian Giles Kills everyone. It's surpizing he not putting up better numbers, but a park like Petco will do that!

WW II medal of Neb. man found in Vt.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS | May 11,2014MILTON A World War II service medal belonging to a Nebraska man could be on its way soon to the mans son after it was found along with a number of unrelated medals hidden in a tree in Milton.
No one knows how the medals ended up in a VCR cassette and wrapped in plastic or how long they had been there before they were found on Green Up Day on May 3.
In addition to the 1945 good conduct medal of Richard Gene Woody, there were commemorative coins, a Veterans of Foreign Wars medal from the 1930s, a Spanish American War medal, a womans Relief Corps medal and a Civil War pay stub for Pvt. Lewis N. Lucas, of the Vermont 2nd Light Artillery.
Milton police were put in touch with Zachariah Fike, of Georgia, the founder of the group Purple Hearts Reunited, an organization that returns medals to servicemen and woman or their families.
I think these were stolen items, Fike said Friday. These were items that a collector had picked up over time.
Fike found Woodys son, Myron Gene Woody in Sidney, Nebraska. Myron Woody didnt know how the medals would have ended up in Vermont, but he thought his father, who served 30 years in the Navy, was once stationed in Maine, Fike said.
Id sure love to have it and then I could pass it to one of my daughters, said Myron Woody on Saturday.
Robert Woody died in 1982, Fike said.
Milton Police Officer Frank Scalise said it was unlikely police would ever learn where the medals came from.
More than likely it will be us getting in touch with the recipients son and arranging to send that medal out to him, Scalise said.
The other medals will most likely be turned over to Fike, Scalise said.
Fikes organization, Purple Hearts Reunited, works across the country to return service medals to the original recipients or their families. While the organization is based in Vermont, the medals found in Milton marked the first time hed found any in his home state.
I have to say, Vermonters are really good at not losing things, Fike said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep. Peter Welch, D-Vt. Full StoryVermont Attorney General Bill Sorrell plans to join the U.S. Full StoryMONTPELIER Gov. Full Story

Hi ladies! I'm looking for some help here. My DS 16 wks old just started daycare this week. All last week he was with an RN/lactation consultant who helped us (without success) on a bottle. He only took a few sips here/there and while I was gone for 8 hrs he only took 3oz. Tried all sorts of different bottles without any real luck-small luck on Gerber latex which of course he doesn't like at daycare. At daycare he's refusing the bottle but will accept it if it's gently squirted into his mouth a little at a time or spoonfed. Cup feeding hasn't worked either. He's hungry but doesn't seem to know how to suck? Although he eats just fine with me-a whopping 18 lbs! and will suck on a pinky slightly-refuses pacifiers as well. Thankfully they've gotten 3oz into him during a 4.5hr period via this method. We're working our way up to a full 10hr day by Friday (today is Tuesday). He nurses well when we come home, but is extremely tired and seems to konk out right after nursing for the rest of the afternoon. Thankfully I'm also able to pump about 10-13 oz each session so there's an abundance all around-he just wants it from me. I work 1 hr away so I can't even go and nurse him at lunch.
Is this normal and should I be concerned if he doesn't take much milk at daycare? (e.g. is 3-4 oz in a day ok?)
Will this eventually even out?
what about being so tired?
any hints? this is killing me that he doesn't eat well (on top of the fact that I hate him having to go to daycare)
I'm looking for some support and suggestions if anyone has them. Thank you!

text: Hi, I have a little boy who is 9 1/2 months old . He is not too interested in food yet. . . will take a couple of bites each day.I first intro'ed food to him when he was 7 1/2 months old. So far we have tried, rice cereal, peas, beans, corn, carrots, mashed potatoes, noodles, apples, pears, and his FAVORITE cheerios . For everything but the Cheerios I use my food mill to mash up the food into a lumpy consitency. But he seems to like the Cheerios the best because he can self feed himself the bite size pieces. What other types of finger foods have any of you given to your little ones? I am afraid to give too much because I am afraid my son will choke (he seems to have a terrific gag reflex, which the dr said will go away as he matures) He doesn't any any teeth yet so he just gums everything. He is becoming so independent now that I think he would prefer to feed himself with his own fingers than have me give it to him on a spoon. Any suggestions on what food to try?

Parsonage Turner Syndrome
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Parsonage Turner Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.

- Idiopathic Brachial Plexus Neuropathy
- Neuralgic Amyotrophy
General Discussion
Parsonage-Turner syndrome (PTS) is an uncommon neurological disorder characterized by rapid onset of severe pain in the shoulder and arm. This acute phase may last for a few hours to a few weeks and is followed by wasting and weakness of the muscles (amyotrophy) in the affected areas. PTS involves the brachial plexus, the networks of nerves that extend from the spine through the neck, into each armpit and down the arms. These nerves control movements and sensations in the shoulders, arms, elbows, hands, and wrists. The exact cause of PTS is unknown, but it is believed to be caused by an abnormality of the immune system (immune-mediated disorder). The severity of the disorder can vary widely from one individual to another due, in part, to the specific nerves involved. Affected individuals may recover without treatment, meaning that strength returns to the affected muscles and pain goes away. However, individuals may experience recurrent episodes. Some affected individuals may experience residual pain and potentially significant disability.
The initial descriptions of this disorder in the medical literature date back to the late 1800s. In 1948, Drs. Parsonage and Turner were the first physicians to describe a large series of patients. They termed the disorder 'amyotrophic neuralgia'. There is an extremely rare, inherited form known as hereditary neuralgic amyotrophy, on which NORD has a separate report. Sometimes PTS is referred to as idiopathic neuralgic amyotrophy to distinguish it from the genetic form and to denote that the cause is unknown. However, usually PTS is simply referred to as neuralgic amyotrophy. PTS can be broadly classified as a form of peripheral neuropathy or disorder of the peripheral nervous system, which encompasses any disorder that primarily affects the nerves outside the central nervous system (i.e. brain and spinal cord).

Though she's been in the movie business for a few years now, relative newcomer Eleanor Tomlinson said she feels like she's walking on air lately, and for good reason. After all, it's not every day where you get an opportunity to star in a towering film like "Jack the Giant Slayer," director Bryan Singer's re-imagined take on the classic folktale "Jack and the Beanstalk."
"This is my big break. It's so exciting. It's been a roller coaster ride every minute since I got the job," Tomlinson, 20, told me in a recent call from London. "I've loved absolutely every minute of it. It's taken me on a fantastic journey and I'vemet some brilliant and beautiful people. In a way, I'm sad to see it's all coming to an end, yet Iam excited to see where it might lead."
Tomlinson stars as Princess Isabelle, the headstrong daughter of King Brahmwell (Ian McShane) whose adventurous nature leads her to the doorstep of Jack (Nicholas Hoult) -- a poor farmhand who has just unwittingly secured a handful of magic beans.
Even though Jack's been warned without reason to keep the beans away from water, one of them accidentally gets wet, creating a monolithic beanstalk that stretches skyward and stops at a gateway between Earthand the heavens. Unfortunately, that gateway is also inhabited by primitive giants who want to reignite a war against the descendants of the royalty who banished them -- starting with Isabelle, who ascended the beanstalk while being trapped in Jack's house.
Opening in 2D, 3D and IMAX theaters nationwide on Friday, "Jack the Giant Slayer" also stars Ewan McGregor, Stanley Tucci, Eddie Marsan and the voice of Bill Nighy as the villainous giant General Fallon.
Tomlinson, who previously appeared in the supporting role of Fiona Chattaway in director Tim Burton's blockbuster adaptation of "Alice in Wonderland" in 2010, said she feels so fortunate to have worked with such acclaimed filmmakers as Burton and Singer.
"Tim is just such an amazing man to watch and in the same way so is Bryan. They're just brilliant people to observe because their imaginations and their passions are so extreme," Tomlinson enthused. "It's hard to believe I'm even talking about this, saying, 'Yeah, I've worked with Tim Burton' and 'Yeah, I am Bryan Singer's leading lady.' I still can't get my head wrapped around it at all."
Apart from the opportunity to work with Singer on "Jack the Giant Slayer," Tomlinson said she absolutely had to be a part of the film because the script painted a much different picture of a movie princess than audiences are used to seeing.
"Isabelle is different from other princesses -- she's feisty and she wants to prove that she's independent, and she's willing to go out of her way to show that to her father," Tomlinson said. "She doesn't just want to be a piece of history, and doesn't want to be married off to some lord (played by Tucci) that she doesn't love -- she's not a girl waiting in a tower to be rescued."
In many ways, Tomlinson said, Isabelle's tale is similar to Jack -- who's not your stereotypical hero, either.
"He's not a naturally, ripped hunk, he's just a farm boy who is very kind and humble, but looking for an adventure of his own, and she's just a princess who happens to be looking for an adventure of her own," Tomlinson said. "She's not taken seriously until she proves herself by running away, but unfortunately, for her, she gets taken up a beanstalk."
Tomlinson said Hoult -- who previously starred in "X-Men First Class" and more recently, "Warm Bodies" -- was just as warm and generous in person as his character.
"He's just an absolute gem to work with -- he's quite lovely. He's a brilliant friend at the same time, and gives you so much to work with as a performer. I think Jack and Isabelle's relationship shines through so clearly on screen because Nick and I are such good mates as well," Tomlinson observed. "I can't imagine not getting on with a co-star. It must be absolute hell if you don't get along with your co-star, particularly if you already have the pressure of such an enormous movie on your shoulders, so I'm blessed."
Of course, Tomlinson didn't always have the benefit of working opposite a co-star on "Jack the Giant Slayer" with the multitude of complex computer-generated special effects involved to bring the giants to life. But with Singer in charge, Tomlinson knew that the end result would be spectacular when she saw the completed film.
"The stuff they've managed to create with the CG special effects is fantastic," Tomlinson beamed. "Even working on the film, I couldn't have imagined the giants looking likethey do, and so terrifying, too. It's really fantastic with what they've done with the movie. I'm so proud of it. I just hope that it's a big success."
Apart from the thrilling effects, Tomlinson is confident "Jack the Giant Slayer" will also resonate with audiences because the emotional core of the movie stayed intact -- which, with an effects-heavy film, is not an easy thing to do.
"The relationship between Jack and Isabelle is so important and has to be established so quickly because you have to believe that he cares about her enough to chase her up a beanstalk," Tomlinson said. "It doesn't matter what's going on around you, there's still a basic relationship happening there and that's lovely."

In response to the PopSci.com article: Genetic Bar Code Search Can Use RNA to Pick Out Individuals From Huge Gene Pool
Quote from the principle investigator of the Mount Sinai study: "Rather than developing ways to further protect an individual's privacy given the ability to collect mountains of information on him or her, we would be better served by a society that accepts the fact that new types of high-dimensional data reflect deeply on who we are," he said. "We need to accept the reality that it is difficult—if not impossible—to shield personal information from others. It is akin to trying to protect privacy regarding appearances, for example, in a public place."
Genetic privacy may be difficult to achieve, but it remains essential for people to trust physicians, researchers, health IT, and the government.
The public will not accept the idea that genetic information "is in the public domain" anytime soon. We never agreed to have our genetic information made public, and have fought for years to preserve genetic privacy at the state and federal levels. Those who built systems to take blood and tissue and do research without consent could have easily anticipated massive public concerns about such unethical research practices–and not built systems that violate Americans' expectations and strong rights to health privacy.
Clearly it's time for Congress to pass a federal law restoring personal ownership and control over blood and tissue that leaves our bodies, and restore the right of informed consent before any research can be done using our blood, tissue, or health information.

Firefighters saw fewer calls in 2012
The Lisbon Fire Department had a busy year in 2012, although not quite as busy as the year before.
The 2012 annual report submitted by Chief Dave Lewton to Village Council at this week's meeting showed the fire department responded to 229 calls, down from 254 the year before.
Of those 229 calls, 11 were for structure fires: three each in Lisbon and Center Township, and five in Elkrun Township. The fire department handled a total of 19 structure fires in those service areas in 2011. The fire department responded to a combined 44 fires, which include vehicles, campers, grass fires and trash fires.
The department continued in 2012 to receive an inordinate number of false alarms from Lisbon businesses. According to Lewton's report, 40 of the 101 fire calls received in Lisbon last year, or 39.6 percent, were false alarms. The department responded to 36 false alarms in Lisbon the year before.
Council considered charging for false alarms when the issue was raised last year because each call costs between $500 to $1,000, depending on the number of firefighters who respond.
The chief culprit was a malfunctioning sprinkler system at the Vista Center, which shut down when the air compressor overheated. Lewton said the Vista Center must have addressed the problem because the number of false alarm calls have dropped since the fire department threatened to begin billing them, as did the village water department for the water loss.
In other action at the meeting:
– Council approved purchasing five new sets of firefighter turnout gear at a cost of $2,301 per set, with the money coming from the general fund. Fiscal Officer Tracey Wonner pointed out after the meeting this represents about 50 percent of what the fire department is usually paid during the course of the year.
– Village Solicitor Virginia Barborak reported the dispute over water flowing into the basement of the Motorcycle Dream Shop building following installation of new traffic lights at the intersection is between the owner and the Ohio Department of Transportation, which erected the new signal.
– Council agreed to spend $1,050 to purchase the fuel tank the village had been given to use at the street department garage. The 1,000-gallon tank is owned by the fuel supplier, Hays Oil, which is going out of business and offered to sell the tank to the village rather than take it back. Street department foreman Jim Oliver recommended they purchase the tank since the new fuel supplier does not provide them.
– Council accepted the resignation of Cameron Reynolds, a part-time police department dispatcher.
– Lisbon Historical Society official Gene Krotky informed council about the plan to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Morgan's Raid with a series of events scheduled for July 28 in Lisbon, West Point and Wellsville. She wanted to let them know what is being planned and the fact village cooperation is needed. Krotky also asked council to consider providing some financial assistance to help underwrite the cost of the historical re-enactment, which is free.
"It's a gift to the village and its people," she said.

I bring you a special message related to an important announcement. Earlier today, Governor Blagojevich announced his Higher Standards Better Schools plan. At the heart of this plan are strengthened high school graduation requirements in Illinois, with an emphasis on the important work of preparing students for long-term success after high school.
In addition, the Governor's commitment to education funding continues with this new plan, which puts an additional $300 million into education funding over and above the $140 million he had already proposed in his Budget Address.
I have included the Governor's press release below, which details the proposal. While I know many of you are enjoying Spring Break, I wanted to get this important information out to you as soon as possible.

Gov. Blagojevich unveils comprehensive
Higher Standards, Better Schools plan
Proposal increases school funding by another $300 million, and implements strict new high school graduation standards to
better prepare Illinois students for college and the workforce
Governor's plan requires students to take more math, science, writing, English courses; mandates algebra for all students
OAK PARK – Governor Rod Blagojevich today announced his Higher Standards, Better Schools plan – a comprehensive proposal designed to boost education funding and better prepare students to compete and succeed in today's economy. Building on his efforts over the past two years to improve public education in Illinois, the Governor's proposal pumps $300 million more into K-12 education – for a total increase of $440 million in Fiscal Year 2006. Higher Standards, Better Schools also increases the number of credits required to graduate from 16 to 18; requires Illinois high school students to take more math, science and writing-intensive courses; and requires school districts to offer a broader range of electives and Advanced Placement courses to students.
"You can't get ahead without a good education. And you can't get a good education if you're not learning what you need to know to compete in today's economy. We can't keep telling ourselves that we shouldn't increase our standards simply because it costs more money or requires extra effort. We can't keep telling ourselves things are good enough – or that they'd be good enough if we only had more money. They're not good enough. Money alone won't make our schools better. We have to set higher standards," the Governor said.
"The issue of high school reform is being discussed all across the country. The National Governors Association has made it their focus. And when you consider that Illinois' high school graduation requirements are some of the weakest in the nation, improving graduation standards should be our focus too. Simply put, we are not preparing our students for college and for the workforce the way we need to," Blagojevich said. "For years, the higher education community in Illinois has been calling for stricter high school graduation standards. The business community also has called for higher graduation standards. They know that companies can only do well in Illinois if the workforce is up to the job. The future of our children – and the future our of economy – depends on improving our schools."
Illinois ranks 11th in the nation, and the best in the Midwest, in increasing education funding over the last three years. In his first two budgets, Gov. Blagojevich boosted school funding by more than $1 billion, increasing general state aid by 16% and funding for the Chicago Block Grant by 17.7%. Increases for early childhood education have enabled 17,000 more Illinois children to attend pre-school.
The Higher Standards, Better Schools plan unveiled by the Governor today would provide for an increase in general state aid by more than $240 per student, add $30 million more for early childhood education, and would fund new high school curriculum requirements designed to better prepare Illinois students for higher education and the workforce.
Illinois students can currently graduate from high school with only two years of math, only one year of science, and without taking a single writing-intensive course. Illinois students can even graduate from high school without taking algebra. If the Illinois General Assembly approves the Governor's plan, the state will implement a series of reforms critical to better preparing students for life after high school.
1. Tougher Standards, Better Trained Students
Earlier this year, the American Diploma Project, created by Achieve, The Education Trust and the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, found that few of the nation's high school students actually gain the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in college and the workforce. Nationwide, business leaders spend billions of dollars each year providing their employees and students with skills and knowledge they should have attained in high school. Business leaders look for employees who can write, communicate effectively, analyze information, conduct research and solve problems. The quality of Illinois' workforce is critical when it competes with other states for businesses deciding where to locate.
If students are graduating from Illinois high schools unprepared for college and the workforce, businesses aren't going to want to locate here. That's why Illinois must do its part to better position high school graduates for success. Making sure students are better trained and equipped both for college and to work in the modern day economy will help them get better jobs, and in turn, grow the economy.
To arm students with the skills and knowledge they need after high school, the Governor's Higher Standards, Better Schools plan requires students to take an additional year of math. Currently, Illinois students are required to take only two years of math. Math skills are critical in today's high-tech workplace. The Governor's plan requires students to take a third year of math and requires students to take algebra and geometry to graduate. Right now, it's possible for a student to graduate from an Illinois high school without ever taking algebra. Moreover, Illinois students can currently graduate from high school with only one year of science. The Governor's plan requires students to take an additional year of science.
Effective writing and communication skills are also critical to being successful in college and the workplace, but currently, Illinois students are not required to take a single writing-intensive class. The Governor's plan changes that by requiring two writing-intensive courses, one being an English course. It also adds an additional year of English to ensure students take English in each year of high school. The Governor's plan also puts emphasis on schools offering more foreign language, arts, music and agriculture education courses.
Just as schools should prepare students for college, they should also recognize that some students enter the workforce after high school graduation. These students need to be trained to get good jobs as soon as they finish high school. As part of his plan, the Governor is calling for improving career and technical education services.
The Higher Standards, Better Schools plan also helps college-bound high school students prepare better for their work in higher education. The plan calls for students to take more Advanced Placement courses. AP courses, in a wide range of subjects, give students exposure to college-level material, giving them a jump start on the competition when they begin college. The plan also expands access to dual credit-dual enrollment programs at community colleges. Thousands of high school students are already taking community college courses, but other high schools and community colleges need to encourage even more students to participate.
In summary, the Governor's plan would:
-Require at least two years of science
-Require at least three years of math, including algebra and geometry
-Require at least two writing-intensive courses, one being an English course
-Require English every year of high school
-Help schools offer more foreign languages, arts and music
-Provide more training opportunities for vocational students
-Help schools offer more Advanced Placement classes
-Give more high school students access to community college courses
2. Providing additional resources to schools
The Governor's Higher Standards, Better Schools plan provides schools financial resources to train and hire more teachers, and buy more textbooks and materials. In addition to the $140 million in new funding the Governor proposed in his Fiscal Year 2006 Budget, the Governor is proposing an additional $300 million in new funding for education, by authorizing an increase of positions at Illinois' existing riverboat casinos. This plan would increase education funding without asking the hardworking people of Illinois to shoulder the burden by paying more in sales taxes or income taxes. The Governor also explained increasing the number of gaming positions at existing casinos does not bring gaming to places where it doesn't already exist.
Of the $440 million, $380 million will be used to increase per pupil spending by more than $240, $30 million will be used to expand early childhood education, and $30 million will cover the cost of new high school curriculum standards.
"My approach is simple – provide more money, get kids reading as early as possible, and insist on higher standards," said Gov. Blagojevich. "Money without good teachers is a waste. Money without standards will be wasted. And standards and teachers without the resources to run our schools won't work either."
3. Start Learning Early
A portion of the new funding will go towards sending even more children to pre-school. Illinois has one of the best early childhood education systems in the nation. Over the past two years, Gov. Blagojevich has increased funding for early childhood education by $30 million, enough funding for more than 17,000 additional children from at-risk communities to attend pre-school. In Fiscal Year 2006, the Governor proposed another $30 million increase for pre-school, and proposed the first ever recurring revenue source for early childhood education. If the legislature approves the Governor's proposal, even more children will be given the opportunity to go to pre-school. The earlier children begin to learn and read, the better students they become. In fact, The Chicago Longitudinal Study found at-risk children who receive high-quality early education are more likely to complete high school, less likely to be arrested as a juvenile for a violent offense, less likely to be neglected or abused and less likely to be placed in special education.
4. Building Better Learning Environments
The Governor's Fiscal Year 2006 Budget includes $550 million in annual funding to build new schools and renovate existing schools. A survey conducted by the Capital Development Board found that Illinois schools reported that they need more than $6 billion in new construction. The state must help schools eliminate overcrowding and give students and teachers better environments to learn and teach in. In order to meet these needs and fund the state's other capital needs, the Governor proposed increasing the cigarette tax by 75 cents to pay the debt service on a capital program.
5. Allowing Teachers and Administrators to Focus on the Classroom
Finally, the Governor believes it's critical that teachers and principals are afforded the time to focus on their classrooms. The Governor's plan calls for further reducing the number of cumbersome rules and regulations that consume teachers' and administrators' time and energy. The Governor's new appointees at the State Board of Education have already begun reducing the number of burdensome rules, and have overseen the streamlining of the teacher certification process. This process will continue to help schools stay focused on what matters most – teaching children.
"This can be done. And when it's done, our children will take tougher classes and they'll learn more. They'll start reading at an earlier age. They'll be better at math. They'll learn more science. They'll write better. They'll think better. They'll be better prepared for college, and they'll be better prepared for the workplace. That's what I believe our schools need. And it's what we're going to fight for," said the Governor.

text: It's nothing new to lighten the inner corner of the eyes. I remember reading Kevyn Aucoin's Making Faces in 1995 where he explained how he noticed children's inner eye corners were so light and bright and how when we get older the area gets darker and darker. So for years we added white shimmer eyeshadow to the area, which more than did the job. Now in 2013, it looks a little distracting and obvious, so we here at TBD recommend retiring the shimmer and switching to a white pencil, blended into the skin to where it's undetectable. Here's how: (more…)


text:
Since its release, Grand Theft Auto V has become one of the biggest critical and commercial successes in any media. It made more than a half-billion dollars in its first week, and its Metacritic rating of 97 means we agree as a people that it's perfect. Its online launch and iOS companion game were a disaster, but everything's online launch and iOS companion game are disasters. The whole point of the Internet is to destroy what you love, which is what I'm about to do, here. Here are the five best but also worst parts of GTA 5.
The Good:
GTA is a relentless engine of unplanned comedy. Every pedestrian you sucker punch or intersection you cartwheel a truck through can set off a chain of ridiculous events, usually ending in death by tank. The citizens of Los Santos exist only to add screaming sounds to your explosions. Their lives are so pointless the only thing they have to discuss during their afterlife is the hilarious ways we killed them. I'm not much of a theologist, but Donkey Kong probably had to build an entire new wing of video game heaven after I found out driving on sidewalks was faster than weaving through traffic. I murder so often and stupidly in GTA that even the worst lawyer could convince a jury I was too retarded to execute.
The Bad:
On top of all the emergent funny, GTA V includes a massive amount of scripted material. As you probably know, it's set in a parody of Los Angeles with every detail dedicated to mocking it. But before LA starts crying, it should know the jokes are as clumsy as a photo caption in Maxim and as incomplete as a photo of tits in Maxim. Whatever wrote GTA V learned how to make jokes by devouring the brain of an Earth cosmonaut. Hour after hour, comedic premises are set up, and then no punchlines arrive. It's like this sentence was the Mayor of Farts, and he walks into his town's finest jar store.
GTA V criticizes American culture with all the elegance of a grumpy pastor watching his first reality show. Missions have you acting as a paparazzo to catch a wholesome actress with a dong up her ass, massacring hallucinations after too much marijuana, and terrorizing immigrants. Most media outlets praise the game for outrageously mocking every aspect of Los Angeles, but it mocks them without any understanding or tact. If you held a gun to the head of the most secluded Eskimo seal farmer and said, "List California stereotypes," you would not be able to distinguish his list from a GTA V Mission FAQ.
"Just six more missions and multiplayer mode, Inuckchuck."
GTA V has such a robotic sense of humor that Jenny McCarthy has linked it to PS3 vaccinations. If a forensic psychologist found a poem on a suicide victim called "WHY EVERYONE IN MY HIGH SCHOOL SUCKS," his summary of that poem would be identical to any gag in Grand Theft Auto V. Each one follows the same two-step structure: Clearly explain what it's mocking, then nothing else. It'd be almost sad if it wasn't so mean-spirited.
A recreation of the GTA V creative process based on actual GTA V scripts.
Satire and parody are more complicated than Scary Movie 11 would have you believe. You need to do more than point at social trends and call a dwarf casting agency. For instance, the GTA V writers explore fertile comedy ground with the idea of women being dumb whores. Any idiot will tell you that ridicule is a hilarious alternative to leering when you're dealing with giant-breasted sluts, but GTA attacks with no wit. And when you mock something without wit, you're just a cranky bully. Grand Theft Auto V's writers read the instructions on a rape kit and decided they knew everything they needed to know about women and comedy.
If a holocaust survivor was reunited with his captor and spent an afternoon explaining the jokes in LA Story, that elderly Nazi would write a funnier, more biting satire of Los Angeles culture than GTA V did.
Hating things brings people together more than liking them. It's why Republicans were able to shut down a government out of spite, yet can't cure gay out of love. It's also why the dickish bullying in GTA V really resonates with people. Because they hate caricatures of awful things, too! Ha ha, I hope they mention how dumb stupid people are next! I've read dozens of reviews praising its comedy, so maybe I'm a snob for thinking good jokes require more than a tired premise and a stumbling, predictable execution. Plus, now that I think about it, there are a few gags in the game that totally work. For example:
I was like, "SMELL LIKE A BITCH!?" Ha ha ha ha, nailed it.
The Good:
GTA is enormous and detailed beyond reason. There are hundreds of activities and missions, and nearly some of them are fun.
The Bad:
As you might imagine, having a billion square miles stops being interesting long before you've seen them all. Since it's a video game, your first instinct will be to climb over and look behind everything to get little items. You'll stop doing this after 500 back alleys and mysterious structures are completely empty. You have a better chance of finding a crate of guns on a real roof than on a GTA V roof. It's possible scientists made this game in order to see exactly how little cheese you need before rats stop running a maze.
Do you like playing video darts? Of course you don't. Who would? But you can! Plus yoga! And car towing. Dog training. Photography. Cargo crane operation. Underwater welding. It seems like GTA V stole its game design from a trade school commercial. There are so, so many boring activities you're required or at least encouraged to do, and they're separated by miles and miles of collectibles-free highway. GTA isn't really a fun story as much as it is an interactive encyclopedia on the totality of the human experience. There's a pretty decent adventure buried under all the dull garbage, but that's like saying there are a couple of interesting-looking vaginas in a heap of pig carcasses.
There's a mini-game where you use a thumbstick to pretend to stretch!? Nailed it.
So the game is a sprawling expanse of detailed nothing, but it's not all bad. Finding your way around is easy! You simply press pause and wait for a short loading screen to finish. This will bring up your map. Scroll along the map with your thumbstick for a moment before you remember this isn't actually the map. It's only the menu option for the map. Press A to go to the actual map and search for your destination. If your destination is too far away and you'd rather play the game instead of driving across it, exit out of the map and open your smart phone. Slowly scroll down your contact list since quickly isn't an option. Press A to call a taxi. Let it ring until a dispatcher picks up. If you are not playing the black character, a taxi will arrive 15 to 30 seconds later. It will be approximately one block from you, so look for it in the center of an exploding traffic jam it caused. It may start confusedly fleeing the crime scene, so tap the sprint button before it gets away. If you're not hit by emergency vehicles, you may be able to catch it! Now, simply scroll through the 75 possible locations until you find the one you want! While the taxi begins its long journey, it is the perfect time to ask your screaming spouse, parents, or children why you can't do just one god damn mission.
A recreation of the GTA V creative process based on actual GTA V gameplay.
Games are supposed to waste your time. That might even be their main goal. Roger Ebert already said they'll never be art, and according to psychologists, they don't even train you to kill better. But Grand Theft Auto might be the first game specifically designed to make you feel your time being wasted. When I first looked up from Skyrim to check the time, I was shocked to find I was off by 25 days. Grand Theft Auto V isn't like that. Like all GTA games, the constant arguments with the camera, cover system, and controls will remind you you're playing a game. And since so much of that game involves boring activities and travel, you'll feel like you're wasting your time within your time wasting. Maybe I'm spoiled from playing this game before only with a bat belt, bionic jumping power, parachute and grappling hook, or 300 playable LEGO superheroes, but so much of GTA V is a boring commute. If I wanted to run errands all day for a brief moment of amoral fun, I'd get a job as Jude Law's nanny.

Internship 0pportunity at Davidson College, NC
(Posted Feb. 20, 2014)
For sophomore and junior psychology majors:
Davidson College sponsors an eight-week summer academic program for undergraduates at Broughton Hospital in Morganton, N.C., a state psychiatric facility serving western North Carolina. The program is an internship in clinical settings at the Hospital; students earn credit for one course from Davidson College as Practicum in Psychology (PSY 290). This course is taught by the Internship Training Director at Broughton Hospital who is an adjunct instructor for Davidson College.
Besides working in the hospital, students have periodic discussion sessions with the instructor and attend a weekly seminar with presentations by clinical staff at the Hospital.
Because these times are arranged once the class arrives in Morganton, students should plan on being on site five days a week for the duration of the program. The program will run from May 27 – July 18, 2014.
Participants work with hospital professionals as observers and assistants in patient treatment programs. Students may have the opportunity to participate in other hospital trainings and/or field trips to settings where activities relevant to clinical psychology are occurring. Service to the hospital is an important aspect of all placement options. In past years placement options have included the Adult Admissions Division, Psychiatric Rehabilitation Division, or Specialty Services Division, which includes the adolescent, geropsychiatry, and medical units.
Program size is 6-8 students. The number of applications for the program has progressively increased over the last several years. Criteria for admission, therefore, are driven in part by the number of applicants and can become competitive. Applications from students enrolled at Davidson College will receive some preferential weighting. Applicants should have completed Abnormal Psychology prior to the program's start.
Tuition and room fees total $800. No financial aid from Davidson College is available; students needing financial help should inquire at their home institutions.
For detailed information, visit the Davidson College Department's webpage: http://www.davidson.edu/academics/psychology. The application form is also there. Deadline: APRIL 1, 2014. Visiting the Broughton Hospital web site at http://www.ncdhhs.gov/dsohf/broughton/ may be helpful.

Time to address property taxesApril 15,2014The reform in education has gained momentum this year as property owners question their rising taxes and the results of quality education in our schools. A recent approval of a 4 cent increase in residential tax rates and a 7.5 cent increase on nonresident taxes for 2014 and more to come next year certainly have caused 23 towns to reject their school budgets. This should be of concern to our state representatives. The state Legislature and governor blame these increases on our local school boards and voters. Not so fast. The Brigham decision was meant to equalize education throughout the state so that each school would benefit from equal spending per student. Unfortunately, Vermont has lost 15 percent of its students under Act 60/68 while the spending continues to rise.
Currently, Vermont has 85,000 students, and the costs have risen from $600 million to $1.4 billion per year over the past 12 years. To pay for this increase, property taxes continue to rise. One reason is that the state has not funded its share of these increases by large amounts. It has found surplus funds to help cover the gap, but this will go away after this year.
Another big issue is income sensitivity. Approximately, 70 percent of Vermonters are voting on school spending while at the very same time they are not being affected by the rising cost. This is because 70 percent pay their property taxes based upon income, which is capped at 1.9 percent of their income. As such, if these income-sensitized voters are capped, they really do not care because if they get a $5,000 property tax bill, they only pay 1.9 percent or, let us say, at $50,000 income, or only $950. The rest of the taxes due come from those who have higher incomes above $90,000, which includes every out-of-state property owner. And these nonresidents cannot vote.
Another negative to this whole Act 60/68 dilemma is the equity value of our homes. Property owners, which includes nonresidents and higher-income residents, are paying larger taxes, and this is contributing to lower values of homes and in turn the selling value. In fact, the assessed values in many towns based upon the coefficient of dispersion are over-appraised. The equity value of a home is decreased by the taxes paid on the property. As such, the market value is going down while the taxes are going up, even when there are fewer students.
One must ask just one or two questions to our legislators. If plumbers, electricians, carpenters, roofers, lumber sales, carpeting and Realtors are not making a solid living, why would they continue to live in Vermont? The second question is: Why would anyone want to build a new house or remodel an old house, if their property taxes are going up?

Originally published in UCLA Newsroom
Although air quality has improved dramatically in Los Angeles in recent decades, a joint study by UCLA and the California Air Resources Board suggests that roughly a quarter of Angelenos are exposed to noxious plumes of freeway fumes almost every morning — far more people than previously believed.
Researchers found that overnight atmospheric conditions concentrate freeway pollutants in a plume stretching 1.5 kilometers (approximately 0.93 mile) downwind, seeping inside homes and buildings, and lingering as late as 10 a.m. The same effect would be expected downwind of any highway nationwide, the researchers said.
Half of the residents of the greater Los Angeles area live within these impact zones around freeways, meaning that about a quarter are on the downwind side of a freeway on any given day.
The 1.5 kilometer measurement is in striking contrast to earlier studies in the United States and Australia showing that daytime pollutant concentrations extended no more than about 300 meters (about 0.19 mile) downwind of major roadways, and confirms an earlier UCLA study that showed the same result at a single coastal location.
Professor Suzanne Paulson of UCLA's Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability headed the study, working with Professor Emeritus Arthur Winer of UCLA's Fielding School of Public Health and led by Wonsik Choi, a postgraduate researcher in Paulson's lab. The findings were published in December in the journal Atmospheric Environment.
The researchers measured pollutant concentrations upwind and downwind of the 91, 210, 110 and 101 freeways using a zero-emission vehicle equipped with specialized instruments to quantify the amount of ultrafine particles and other tailpipe pollutants such as nitrogen oxide and carbon monoxide. Starting before morning rush hour, a researcher drove back and forth several times on surface streets perpendicular to the four freeways, visiting each freeway five times.
"This is happening around every freeway," Paulson said. "It's clear that heavily trafficked roadways have a large impact on downwind populations, and a similar situation likely happens around the world in the early morning hours. The particles tend to end up indoors, so a lot of people are being exposed inside their homes and schools."
Although closed windows help block the particles from seeping inside, previous studies have shown that indoor pollution levels still reach 50 to 70 percent of outdoor levels, the researchers noted.
By knowing which way the wind is blowing, the researchers can extrapolate their findings to any freeway. Their latest measurements, and the most common nighttime wind patterns, result in the following impact zones:

The morning concentration of pollutants near highways is due to a combination of the nighttime cooling of the atmosphere, called a nocturnal surface inversion, and the weak evening breeze. At night, cool air sinks, trapping polluted air close to the ground, where it can't interact with cleaner air from above. As drivers create more emissions overnight and during morning rush hour, Los Angeles' mild "land breeze" pushes the increasing pollution in a plume to one side of the freeway. The cold layer traps the plume until well into the morning rush hour, when sun-warmed air begins to rise and a stronger sea breeze takes over, mixing pollutants throughout the atmosphere and diluting their influence.
"While freeway plumes vary slightly from location to location, all of the sites exhibited highly elevated traffic-related pollution at distances of at least 1.5 kilometers on the downwind side of the freeway in the early morning," Choi said.
Freeway pollutants have been linked to increases in asthma, heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, low birth weight, pre-term births and other ailments. So what can people do to limit their exposure to polluted air?
"If your home is within about 1.5 kilometers of a freeway, you may want to close your windows during the early morning hours," Winer said. "It's also best not to run or otherwise heavily exercise within the 1.5 kilometer impact zone in the early morning."
Likewise, schools near freeways should avoid holding gym classes first period, and people with breathing difficulties should filter their indoor air, the researchers suggested.

As a new school year gets underway, President Obama launched a major back-to-school campaign today aimed at keeping kids in the classroom. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) new Chairman Inez Tenenbaum carried the President's message to South Carolina where she met with students and faculty at Rosewood Elementary School in Columbia.
Tenenbaum, a former South Carolina State Superintendant of Education, brings a strong focus to CPSC on educating and informing children and consumers across the nation about product safety. She released CPSC's "Back to School Safety Checklist" (PDF) and urged parents and schools to use it to create a safer school environment for children.
"It just takes a moment for a child to be seriously injured or even killed riding a bicycle, playing on the playground, using a movable soccer goal, wearing a jacket with a drawstring or by a recalled product," said Tenenbaum. "Let's keep kids in the classroom and out of the emergency room. Parents and school officials should make it a priority to check for hazards at home and at school."
-I checked with my school's officials to make sure that the school's playground equipment has been inspected and maintained.
-There are at least nine inches of shock absorbing surface material around my school's playground equipment.
Each year, more than 200,000 hospital emergency room visits are related to playground injuries. Most injuries involve falls onto the playground surface or playground equipment.
-My child wears a helmet that meets CPSC requirements every time he/she bikes or rides a scooter to and from school.
-My child's helmet fits snuggly, level on top of the head, with a buckled chin strap.
CPSC staff has reports of an annual average of 80 children under 16 years of age who died in bicycle-related incidents in recent years. About half of the approximately 500,000 bicycle-related emergency room-treated injuries in 2008 involved children under 16 years of age.
-None of my child's outerwear clothing has drawstrings at the hood or neck area.
Since 1985, CPSC has received reports of 28 deaths and 71 non-fatal incidents involving the entanglement of children's clothing drawstrings.
-All soccer goals are securely anchored while in use.
From 1998-2008, CPSC has reports of at least 8 deaths and an estimated 2,000 emergency department visits by children younger than 16 years of age that are related to soccer goal tip-overs and structural failures.
-I have checked CPSC's Web site, www.cpsc.gov, to make sure all back to school purchases and previously owned items have not been recalled.
-I have signed up at www.cpsc.gov to have email alerts of CPSC recall announcements that interest me sent directly to my email inbox.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission is charged with protecting the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death associated with the use of
thousands of types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction. Deaths, injuries, and property damage from consumer product incidents cost the
nation more than $1 trillion annually. CPSC is committed to protecting consumers and families from products that pose a fire, electrical, chemical or
mechanical hazard. CPSC's work to help ensure the safety of consumer products - such as toys, cribs, power tools, cigarette lighters and household
chemicals -– contributed to a decline in the rate of deaths and injuries associated with consumer products over the past 40 years.

This is Great product. True to color, same number as 10 + years ago and matches perfectly. Covers completely and smoothly in one coat. The inclusive primer is worth the money. The satin finish is just right. Resists dirt and salt air, cleans easily. We are on busy street which generates a lot of dirt, but also about 20 feet from ocean and a sea wall over which the ocean loves to spray. Have recommended to neighbor with the same aluminum siding which he thought was not "paintable". People give us great compliments.Pros Even Application, High Quality of Material, Easy to Apply, Easy Instructions, Good Coverage, Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, Good Protection, Looks Great, Looks High End, Dries Quickly, perfect color match by original number!

That Camaro in your photo looks very nicely done although the roll cage looks to be patterned after more modern designs rather than something from back in the day. I'm glad you found some usefulness in the rule books I posted. It provides some sort of validation for the effort being put in here. Best of luck with that new HMC group.

Jimmy King>>> all other wrestlers ( especially Diamond Dallas Page )
I think, this thread is derailing cause we haven't decided on what basis to choose the best wrestler of all times in WWE.
If we talk on the basis of impact in WWE, then that list will compose of greats like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Undertaker, Stone Cold, The Rock, Triple H & John Cena.
If we talk on the basis of wrestling skills in WWE, then the list shall compose of greats like Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Ric Flair, Chris Jericho, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, Christian, CM Punk & Daniel Bryan.
Personally, HBK is the greatest to me; wrestling-wise and Stone Cold is the most defining wrestler WWE had.
To the one saying, Kurt Angle, well, it's true that Kurt Angle had enormous talents in Pro Wrestling but his accomplishment and stint in WWE are too few compared to what he had in other Pro Wrestling Shows and in Olympics. In that way, HBK or Jericho or Hart surpasses him when it comes in WWE.
Yeah, perhaps in whole global pro-wrestling, Kurt Angle is the greatest ever. But he didn't each such magnanimous heights in WWE.

Everybody have their own choices of what kind of animes, movies, shows ect... that appeal to them. I'm sure, you have your own choices too. WWE shows are simply one kind of a show that appeals to me. I'd personally rather watch WWE than certain movies/shows of nowadays, for example.

It isn't a sport as wrestling isn't acknowledged to be a sport by Olympics. Boxing is a sport. Judo is a sport. Martial Arts is a sport. Wrestling is not.
It's categorized as a TV Show. In fact, Monday Night RAW just crossed the 1000th Episode and is the longest weekly running show ever. Even longer than landmarks like Friends, Dallas, Simpsons ect... The transition of WWF to WWE (E for Entertainment) also completes the point that Pro Wrestling is definitely not a sport and is not even claiming to be one.
It just needs to be enjoy for what it is. And it's a live show with staged fights, penned storylines, live-promos and the demonstration of the art that is 'wrestling'. But I'd rather watch WWE than a soap opera with mindless comedies or overstuffed melodrama.
It's a 'Like' it for what is or 'Dislike' it what it is. Still, it's stupid to dislike it because it's not real or not a sport. It's like saying, I hate all movies, animes, shows ect... because they are fictitious.
HBK easily
Razor Ramon !
you could join my wwe fan club.....and talk about this
aight fellah why not
I have to agree with HBK. He has it all.
There are many people with amazing charisma, wrestling skill, and even people with both that just have it all like HBK, but HBK is the top. Would I call him the greatest of all time? Perhaps, but Undertaker falls right next to him. Not out of favoritism because if that was the case, Y2J would be number one, but because Undertaker's name has to be mentioned.
Anyways, HBK.
This one has to fall between HBK and Y2J
Those guys are truly the best in the world at what they do, not Punk i mean dont get me wrong Punk is great but hes not the best. If i had to choose it would probably be HBK
Kane !
HBK imo. that match with Bret Hart top all in my book
Stone Cold, Rock, or HBK. I haven't watched wrestling in over 9 years though.
The Rock, HHH, Stone Cold, The Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Kane
They Defined the Attitude ERA along with Mankind and these were their best wrestlers
Hulk Hogan,Undertaker, HBK , Chris Jericho and The Rock
Sean Michaels and Triple H, Degeneration X all day *****, all day!
bret hart
HHH and shawn michacals . John cena is improving but hes childish .
My fave wrestler is Edge
Oliver Jones.
I'm sure that was someone's name.
Jobber Power.

the greatest of all time must be the one wrestler that had the most impact on all of wrestling and that by far is stu hart, the man trained more greats then been listed so far and im not just talking about the hart clan
