Sometime before Christmas I came down with either the flu or the Andromeda Strain and was forced to take a day off work while I died. If you're wondering why I'm still here, and why the world hasn't just emerged from a three-month period of mourning, well, it turns out that my temple-like body (falling apart, mossy) apparently had exactly the right antibodies to fight off this mortal threat, and I emerged stronger than ever. I even managed to write a completely bonkers column during the spell, which I understand now has epidemiologists poring over it for clues.
Along with nearly dying and writing completely insane nonsense, like everyone else who takes a day off sick, I spent much of it on the couch, reacquainting myself with the miracle of daytime television. And, having fortunately slept through the 10 a.m. showing of the bizarre new skinny Drew Carey era of The Price Is Right, I lurched from the bedroom around midday to make the happy discovery that on TV at that very moment was the Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liner delivery vehicle The Running Man.
"Uplink underground! Uplink underground! If you say that one more time, I'll uplink your ass, and you'll be underground!" -Actual quote from the movie.
The Running Man, for those of you who didn't nearly die the same day I did, is a 1987 science fiction movie starring Schwarzenegger at the peak of his scene-chewing talent. Set in the distant year of 2017, in an America under the boot of a fascist police state, the film features Schwarzenegger as Ben Richards, a police officer convicted of a crime which, get this, he didn't actually commit. After a failed escape attempt, Richards is caught and forced to compete on The Running Man, an extremely popular game show where criminals are pursued through a massive arena by a group of assassins called stalkers who butcher the contestants with various themed weapons. The central conflict of the movie is whether Richards will somehow manage to murder his way through the stalkers and subject them to thematically appropriate one-liners.
"Killian! Here is your Subzero. Now plain zero." -Yes, it looks like he will.
It is, in short, a completely awesome movie, and like most good people, I've seen it eight or nine times, I think exclusively when I've been home from work sick. This time, however, because of the 8,000-degree fever I was running, my brain was operating on another level entirely, and for some reason I began taking copious notes of my viewing experience. Notes that I've only just managed to decipher, and I've discovered that my fevered brain correctly identified The Running Man as the most profoundly wise movie that ever was.
"I'll live to see you eat that contract, but I hope you leave enough room for my fist, because I'm going to ram it into your stomach and break your goddamn spine!" -Check that flawless lesson in anatomy.
You see, as is the case with all good science fiction, The Running Man uses its setting to explore some deep fundamental truths about how the world works. Most people miss this stuff, distracted as they are by the surface details.
(After strangling Subzero with barbed wire) "What a pain in the neck." -It is, admittedly, hard to get past dialogue this fantastic.
But I did manage to see past it, and I managed to glean four totally real, totally useful life lessons from The Running Man. And here they are.
4If We Do Not Study History, We Are Doomed to Repeat It
Although The Running Man is science fiction, its depiction of a public manipulated into condoning and even cheering for horrific acts has occurred many other times in history. It doesn't seem to take much to get us to start baying for the blood of a scapegoat. Nor is it something we've grown out of; there's no reason to think we've gotten wiser, and indeed, when we consider how a non-zero percentage of us are now consuming Four Loko, humanity may actually be dumber and nastier than ever before. If you happen to have a neighbor who's a gay illegal communist Middle Eastern immigrant, ask him how welcome he feels in America today.

"Even the ACLU's been advocating for drone strikes against me."
What's really neat, though, is how this message of history repeating itself is coded into the film's visual grammar. Consider: The Running Man is set is 2017, the same 2017 that's a mere four years away (start planning your Running Man-themed parties now). And this is what 2017 is supposed to look like:
That's right. 2017 will look exactly like 1987, and if you wanted any further proof that history works in cycles and man is doomed to commit the same atrocities again and again and again, like fascism, and state sponsored murder ...
... and whatever the hell this is ...
... it was staring you right in the face the whole movie.
3People Want to Be Lied To
How did the world get to the point where people began cheering for people to be put to death? I mean, we have pretty violent sports now, but everyone gets real quiet at an NFL game when a player goes down hurt. We may be drunk monsters, but we're drunk monsters that care.
Well. Except for Eagles fans.
Doug Pensinger/Getty Images Sport/Getty Images
Here seen "raising the roof" for a compound fracture.
This is explained explicitly toward the end of the movie, when a man with one of the greatest names in villainy, Damon Killian, tells Ben how it really is:
"Americans love television. They wean their kids on it. They love game shows, they love wrestling, they love sports and violence. So what do we do? We give 'em what they want!"
The audience wants sports and violence and justice, so Killian gives it to them. More importantly, the audience also wants to be told they're right for wanting sports and violence and justice. No one likes thinking they're a monster. We'll go through our whole lives with ourselves mentally cast as the protagonist, the good guy. Killian understands this. The people want to believe that the criminals they're cheering to the death deserve it. That they're the ones to blame for all the problems in the world. It's why the audience eats up Ben Richards' framing so easily.
In the real world, we call this confirmation bias. It's a totally natural reaction to living in a complicated world. If you happen to be out of a job, the list of people who could be responsible for this is vast: The managers at your former company. The managers at competing companies. Executives in every company. Every politician at every level of government. Cracked writers. All of us could have had a part in you losing your job, and many of us in fact did, although none of us knew it at the time.
Jupiterimages/Polka Dot/Getty Images
"Boy, I sure hope this list of badass things doesn't take food off anyone's table. But what am I going to do? Check first?"
But knowing that no one specific is to blame is really unsatisfying, and it seems to be all too easy to instead blame your job loss on Obama, or Bush, or illegal immigrants, or the Ents. And once we've set ourselves up with this simplistic view of the world, we'll gravitate toward media that tell us what we already know. It explains why you keep reading the same three websites for all your news, and why most of television news is such a shit-reeking cesspool.

"This administration's insistence on providing a legal path to citizenship for Ents is OUTRAGEOUS. They are taking jobs from honest Americans, and lacking wives, they're probably going to be after our women, too."

Janesville School District considers dress code for teachers
Teachers union says teachers should be able to wear jeans
Teachers in the Janesville School District may no longer be able to wear jeans at work.
The Janesville School Board is reviewing a draft of the district's new dress code Tuesday night.
David Parr, president of the Janesville Education Association, said the district's proposed dress code policy came out of left field.
"It went from one sentence to four pages. That's quite a jump," Parr said. "Is there a problem? We don't believe there is. But if there has been a problem, why hasn't anybody heard about it?"
Steve Sperry, the district's human resources director, said there is a problem.
"Do we have some people that would wear their pants below their belt line? Yes. That's not acceptable. Do we have some people who'd wear flip flops to work? Yes, and we've had some people doing that," Sperry said.
Under the new proposal, teachers would be required to wear a sport coat, collared shirt and tie, or polo shirt. There are also rules for skirt length and sundresses. Sperry said the district wants to outline its expectations for employees.
"As we were working on developing a new employee handbook, we decided, 'Let's clean this up. Let's make sure we have very clean expectations for all of our employees,'" Sperry said.
Sperry said the policy will be enforced at the discretion of the principals or direct supervisors.
Parr said the teachers want to dress professionally and they'll provide input on this new proposal. But he said removing jeans from the wardrobe of the union's 1,400 members just isn't practical.
"In a regular school day, it's hard to do the things we do in a skirt or dress slacks or a suit," Parr said.
Though the school board is expected to discuss the proposal Tuesday, no action is scheduled.
Parr is scheduled to meet with the district superintendent next week to discuss the proposal.

A Polish couple plunged to their death while trying to take a selfie with their kids at the edge of a steep cliff in Portugal.
The family was visiting the cliffs of Cabo da Roca on the west coast of Portugal, the Independent reported.
They decided to capture the moment with a selfie, but the parents somehow slipped and fell hundreds of feet to their death.
Bad weather forced rescuers to give up their search Saturday. The couple's bodies were eventually found on Sunday.
The children, ages 5 and 6, were being cared for by Polish diplomats and undergoing counseling, according to the Portugal Resident.

Welcome to the Wikijunior Dinosaur project.
Tyrannosaurus Rex
When working on this project, remember that it's aimed at children. It's more important to be understood than to be precisely accurate on every detail. Use technical vocabulary when you need to, but don't use big words where simpler language would work. Whenever you have to use a word, list it in the glossary of basic terms, and define it. Either that, or note it needs to be defined in the glossary page. Giving definitions when such words are used is generally a good idea as well.
Please, if you can contribute to this book, do so. Many sections are in need of cleanup and complete rewrites.
If you have made contributions to this Wikibook and would like to have formal credit for being an author, please add your name to the list below:

- What did they look like? (Their size, how they walked, some interesting facts about their different parts, etc.)
- What did they eat? (Plant-eaters, omnivorous, or carnivorous, or more?)
- When did they live? (Not all species of dinosaurs were alive during the K-T event. There were several development periods for different dinosaur species and some were likely "ancestors" of other dinosaurs found in later periods.)
- Where did they live? (Ocean, shallow seas, jungle, grasslands, etc.)
- How were they discovered? (Discussions about where the fossils were found and perhaps even names and information about the discoverer.)
- What do we need to learn? (To demonstrate that science is still evolving and that we don't know all of the answers.)

And with the addition of hourly service to LaGuardia, we'll be providing the most frequencies, the widest choice of airports and the greatest convenience of all airlines flying between New York and Canada.
Book your flight to New York now! But remember that service between Toronto Pearson and JFK starts May 3, 2012.

Nowhere in Southeast Asia like it.
The island state of Singapore is split into five administrative areas, of which the Central Region is by far the most relevant to foreign visitors. This Central Region, which is what we cover on Travelfish.org, is itself made up of a dozen or so areas, including the Central Area and Marine Parade.
The heart of Singapore's hotel accommodation, restaurants and entertainment venues are all within the Central Area — in fact probably the only time you'll find yourself outside of it is when you're heading to Changi Airport, Malaysia, the Night Safari or Jurong Bird Park.
Singapore offers an array of accommodation options, from budget hostels -- mostly in the Little India, Bugis, Kampong Glam and Chinatown areas -- through to luxury hotels, mostly centred around Orchard Road and the Quays. Food in Singapore is amazing. While it's not always cheap, you can eat for less than S$10 a day.
Use your savings to spend up on some of Singapore's impressive sights -- the museums and galleries are world class, the temples, mosques and churches a fascinating reflection of Singapore's multiculturalism and the parks exceptional. And while it's true that Singapore is Southeast Asia's most expensive city, you can still find some things to do for free. It's also a remarkably easy city to get around.

My 15 month old boy has problem staying at a daycare. He was rejected from the first one because he cried all the time there. He cried when we left him with his grandma but he's getting better there. My partner said, if I don't wean him, he won't get a chance to be happy at any daycare because he's so attach to me.
It's true that he's very attach to me but I think it's very natural right? But again, when I saw other babies at daycare, they were happy there without their parents. I don't know what to do. I want to breastfeed him at least until he's 2 years old. Also he's a very picky eater and he doesn't like formula or pumped breast milk. He doesn't take bottle. He's okay with cow milk in a sippy cup but we suspect that he's allergic to cow milk because of diaper rashnso we don't give him often.
We just had an interview with a new daycare and she said it's better for him to wean so he won't cling to my breast so much as a soother rather than food source. And he won't look forward to getting my breast at the daycare. I really like a new daycare and I want it to work out with him. But I still want to breastfeed my boy. What should I do? I don't even know how to wean him. If I pump milk and give it to him, mixed with cow milk, will that be okay? But if I only pump milk, will my supply get so low. Now I already have difficult time pumping, taking about half an hour to get 4 oz. What should I do?

Are you prepared for corporate reporting's perfect storm?
Fraud and corruption – driving away talent?
Audit Committee Bulletin: June 2015
Assurance Services
Meeting today's auditing, financial and reporting challenges
The global business landscape is being reshaped by transformational events and trends. And that means the financial and reporting environment is also being reshaped, resulting in significant challenges for management, boards, audit committees and auditors.
We can help you understand and address today's most critical financial and reporting issues.
- Accounting change
Sweeping changes to accounting standards are coming — are you ready?
You operate in an increasingly uncertain business environment, complicated by the unprecedented range of potential changes to accounting standards. In this environment, management and audit committees are asking what they should be doing today to ready themselves for such significant change.
The IASB and FASB have undertaken a number of ambitious standard-setting projects to improve both IFRS and US generally accepted accounting principles as well as to work to achieve convergence. These new standards, when issued, are expected to significantly alter accounting treatments and disclosures in several critical areas, including financial instruments, leases and revenue recognition. The number of standards being revised is significant, but of greater importance is how the accounting for common transactions will change as a result of these standards.
- Fraud
Fraud, bribery and corruption continue to expose companies to heightened financial, regulatory and reputational risk
Our first Asia-Pacific Fraud Survey echoes the findings in our most recent Europe, Middle East, India and Africa Fraud Survey and our Global Fraud Survey, that the challenging economic conditions in Asia-Pacific have increased the risk of unethical practices.
There exists a real need for companies and those charged with their governance and oversight, to revisit their focus on the risks of fraud, bribery and corruption. Given the current environment, more robust anti-fraud and anti-corruption efforts are an imperative.
- Corporate governance
Increasing transparency, improving control
Economic conditions generally improved during the past year, but uncertainties still remain. The world is demanding greater corporate transparency. Investors want access to more accurate and relevant information about companies, transactions, markets and risks. Regulators are moving to exert more control.
There's much debate about how corporate governance should evolve. It's a debate that's being held against a background of legislative and regulatory change, the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standards and increased public scrutiny. We believe that global coordination is a necessity, not a luxury, in today's interconnected and interdependent markets. Regulators and standard-setters need to continue to work together, to promote global consistency.
- Sustainability reporting
A growing trend toward disclosure of nonfinancial information
In the face of mounting pressure to be transparent, an increasing number of organisations are choosing to report on sustainability or corporate social responsibility (CSR). Sustainability reports help internal and external stakeholders understand how well the organisation adheres to the "triple bottom line" of environmental, social and economic performance.
Seven things you should know about sustainability reporting
1. 3,000+ companies issue sustainability reports. 2. Stakeholders increasingly expect companies to provide sustainability reports. 3. Sustainability reporting can bring operational improvements, strengthen compliance, and enhance corporate reputation. 4. Reports should contain key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant to the reporter's industry such as materiality, stakeholder inclusiveness, sustainability context, and completeness. 5. Sustainability reports are more closely monitored than ever before. 6. Sustainability reporting presents many challenges, including:
- Data consistency
- Striking a balance between positive and negative information
- Continually improving performance
- Keeping reports readable and concise
7. Sustainability reports can be a valuable communications tool. They can help with cutting costs, efficiency, achieving business imperatives and accountability.

Fantasy Tip: There are no guarantees that Sanchez will make an impact in LA, but he might be worth tucking away in NL-only leagues if you're desperate. Josh Beckett (groin) may land on the disabled list soon, and although Ted Lilly (rib cage, neck) is close to returning, he's lost effectiveness as he ages.

The Los Angeles Dodgers appear close to signing free-agent SP Jonathan Sanchez (Pirates).
Fantasy Tip: Sanchez didn't stick with the Pirates and it may be a long shot that he contributes to the Blue's starting rotation. Sanchez has never been able to display the type of control that would make him a dangerous fantasy baseball pitching commodity. He'll have to prove himself in the minors before the Dodgers take a look at him, but if he does earn a starting job, he'll attract mild interest in deep mixed leagues.

|Pirates | Francisco Liriano pitching well in rehab
Tue, 30 Apr 2013 13:02:10 -0700
Pittsburgh Pirates SP Francisco Liriano (arm) struck out nine in six innings with Triple-A Indianapolis Tuesday, April 30. Sixty of his 82 pitches went for strikes, and he didn't walk a single hitter. Liriano struck out eight hitters in his first start with Indy last week. He's expected to throw 100 pitches in his third start for Indy Sunday, May 5, meaning he could join the team's rotation May 10. SP Jonathan Sanchez was designated for assignment Tuesday.
Fantasy Tip: Liriano is a very realistic option to take Sanchez's place in the starting rotation, so you should start making plans to acquire him in NL-only leagues if you're desperate for starters. The lack of walks in his rehab outings is encouraging, and if he can keep that up in his return to the majors, he'll be worthy of adding in mixed formats, too.

Manchester takes no action on homestead tax penaltyBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | September 19,2013MANCHESTER After a vote failed, the Select Board on Tuesday declined to take any further action that would alter the way the town collects a state education tax penalty added to those who filed their homestead declaration late this year.
Other Bennington County towns, including Arlington, Bennington and Dorset, have voted not to collect the penalty this year.
The issue was brought to the Manchester Select Board at their July 23 meeting by resident Orland Campbell, who is a former state representative and Select Board member.
Campbell said his concern was that some people didnt know the law had been changed during the most recent legislative session and now required property owners to file a declaration by April 15 declaring that their home in a certain town was either their homestead or not.
Vermont municipalities generally charge a different property tax rate on a home depending on whether its the owners primary residence. The law has changed in the past but, in 2012, the process was that once a homeowner had declared a residence as his or her primary residence, the declaration would remain in effect until that status changed.
The law changed this year and a penalty was enacted that calls for residents in towns like Manchester, where the residential tax rate is higher than the nonresidential tax rate, to pay a penalty equal to 8 percent of the education tax rate on the property.
However, the law also says that municipalities may collect the penalty which has been interpreted by several towns in Bennington County to mean that they can either collect or waive the penalty. As a result, Bennington and Dorset have voted not to collect the penalty this year because of the concern that people who didnt know about the change to the law could face a high penalty.
On Tuesday, Campbell, who admitted he was one of the people who missed the deadline because he didnt know the law had changed, said his penalty would be around $800 while a neighbor would owe about $2,000 to meet the penalty.
Campbells proposal was that Manchester waive the fee for this year only with the hope that residents would understand the new law in 2014 or that the Legislature would make another change in their next session.
David Fielding Jr., the towns treasurer, and Town Manager John OKeefe said they had concerns about the town waiving the penalty. Fielding said he was concerned because it would create a situation where a certain group of people, those who filed the homestead declaration late, were being treated in a different way than those who had filed on time.
OKeefe said waiving the penalty this year might open the door to people who paid other tax penalties in past years and who might request that their money be refunded and the penalty waived too.
However, OKeefe suggested the town could collect the penalty but give a credit equal to 5 percent from the 8 percent penalty to those who filed late. The credit would be applied to the second half of the tax bill, which is due in February, and would subject people to only a 3 percent penalty which OKeefe said was more reasonable.
A motion to enact OKeefes suggestion was defeated by a board vote of 3-2.
While no other action was taken to change the penalty or its collection in Manchester, Ivan Beattie, chairman of the Select Board, said action could still be taken at another meeting. Beattie said he thought that was unlikely, however.
The change in the law has had a strong effect in Manchester. Beattie said in the past two years, the town has collected a total amount of penalties of around $2,000 or $3,000 but this year, penalties owed are almost $40,000.

My daddy Ernie Hagenston is literally my walking miracle. He has survived the odds time and time again.
In the late months of 1993 my father was diagnosed with Non hodkins limphoma, a cancer affecting the limph nodes in the body. At this time I was 5 years old my older sister was 11 and my younger sister was due in April of the following year. At the age of 40 years old my father feared for his life. He underwent a stem cell transplant and many months of kemo therapy in Syracuse and miraculously cured his cancer, but he was not out of the water yet. Soon after, he was diagnosed with diabetes and congestive heart failure/ Heart disease. He has underwent a quadruple, triple and single bipass over the years. In 2003 my father was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. My father has always been a very happy person he laughs tells his famous jokes and loves to just make others happy. After finding out about the Parkinson's my once happy optimistic father was losing hope. He has always dreamed to walk his 3 daughters down the asile and hold his grandchildren in his arms, yet he began to believe that It may only be a dream. My father is now 55 years old and the disease is taking its toll. It breaks my heart to visit because I see a once fully capeable man struggling to even walk. My dad is the most important man in my life he would lay down his life for me and has shown nothing but love and guidence to his 3 daughters since the day we were born. I have currently began my degree as a nurse to help people like my father regain that much needed hope. My older sister is a Chiropractor and my younger sister gets straight A's in high school. He has raised 3 wonderful girls that will always value life and live it to the fullest everyday because you never know when a life altering diagnoses will take place. My father deserves to win this contest because he not only is the best father anyone could ask for but he is the strongest and most courageous man I know. Even through Cancer, Diabetes, Total knee replacements, Open Heart surgury and Parkingson's Disease he still smiles, laughs and upholds a very optimistic attitude! In his words "I'm not getting jiggy with it, I just have Parkinson's."
Thank you for considering my walking miracle!!!

Program Memorandum - OVAE/DVTE - FY 99-8
|March 26, 1999
|State Directors of Vocational-Technical Education
State Directors of Community, Technical and Junior Colleges
State Tech-Prep Coordinators
|Patricia W. McNeil
|Distribution of Funds to Secondary School Programs in Fiscal Year 2000 and Succeeding Fiscal Years under Section 131(b) of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III)
Many States have inquired about possible problems with the data required for the distribution of funds under the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III) to secondary school programs in fiscal year 2000 and beyond. Under section 131(b)(1) of Perkins III, the eligible agency must allocate the 30% of the funds available for secondary programs to local educational agencies (LEAs) in proportion to the number of individuals aged 15 to 19 who reside in the school district served by the LEA in the preceding fiscal year compared to the total number of such individuals who reside in school districts served by all LEAs in the State for that year. We do not expect eligible agencies to have problems with the data needed to allocate this 30% of the funds under section 131(b)(1). The focus of this memorandum is on the data needed for the distribution of the remaining 70% of the funds.Availability of Data Described in Section 131(b)(2)
Under section 131(b)(2) of Perkins III, an eligible agency must allocate 70% of the funds available for secondary programs to each LEA based on "the number of individuals aged 15 through 19, inclusive, who reside in the school district served by such [LEA] from families with incomes below the poverty line (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget and revised annually in accordance with section 673(2) of the Community Services Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C. 9902(2)) applicable to a family of the size involved for the fiscal year for which the determination is made compared to the number of such individuals who reside in the school districts served by all the [LEAs] in the State for such preceding fiscal year." The Department has received numerous inquiries from States concerning the required data.
The Department has explored the availability of the data required for the 70% distribution. We have determined that the most current Census Bureau data for the population described in section 131(b)(2) are from 1990. In addition to the age of the data, the data are incomplete in some States and are difficult to use since they are based on the boundaries of LEAs in 1990. The boundaries for LEAs have changed since 1990 in many States; new LEAs have been created; and some LEAs, such as charter schools that are LEAs or secondary schools funded by the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), may have no geographical boundaries. The Census Bureau cannot adjust this database to reflect new LEA boundaries or LEAs without boundaries. Because the data required in section 131(b)(2) does not exist for the year required, we will grant eligible agencies waivers to use formulas based on other data.Waiver to Allow the Use of Alternative Data
Section 131(c) of Perkins III provides for a waiver for more equitable distribution if an alternative formula better targets funds on the basis of poverty. It provides:
(c) Waiver for More Equitable Distribution.--The Secretary may waive the application of subsection (b) in the case of any eligible agency that submits to the Secretary an application for such a waiver that -
(1) demonstrates that a proposed alternative formula more effectively targets funds on the basis of poverty (as defined by the Office of Management and Budget and revised annually in accordance with section 673(2) of the Community Services Block Grant Act (42 U.S.C. 9902(2)) to [LEAs] within the State than the formula described in subsection (b); and
(2) includes a proposal for such an alternative formula.
Given this waiver option, the Department examined alternative databases that States could use and determined that the Census Bureau's estimate of the relative number of children in poverty aged 5-17 has a very high level of correlation with the relative number of poor individuals aged 15-19, the data required in section 131(b)(2). Among the advantages of the ages 5-17 database are that it was updated by the Census Bureau in 1995 and relates to LEA (NCES type 1 and 2 districts) boundaries for the 1995-96 school year. By law, the Census Bureau will update these data every two years.
This school district data can be found at the Census web site. Please go to http://www.census.gov/, and read the "README" file. That file explains the types of files in the directory and how to find the information you need.
(We note that the Census Bureau is now receiving comments from the States that will allow them to correct transcription errors; this comment period will end on March 22, 1999. Changes made to these estimates because of these corrections will be posted on that site in mid-April, 1999.)
The Department has concluded that, if an eligible agency were to use the 5-17 database described above in its alternative formula as a substitute for the data required by section 131(b)(2), we would accept the substitution as meeting the requirements of section 131(c) for the 70% part of the formula in section 131(b)(2). We also would consider an eligible agency's use of these 5-17 data to result in a formula that more effectively targets funds based on poverty than the factors in section 131(a), which are the same as those used under the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Applied Technology Education Act (Perkins II). Further, we would accept an eligible agency's use of the 5-17 database as the criterion to judge whether a different proposed waiver formula from the eligible agency meets the more equitable distribution test under section 131(c). An eligible agency may request a waiver as part of the State plan or separately.Adjusting the 5-17 Database
The 5-17 database should be adjusted by State personnel to reflect changes in LEA boundaries since 1995 and to include LEAs without geographical boundaries such as charter schools that are LEAs and secondary schools funded by the BIA. Under section 131(i), an eligible agency must treat secondary schools funded by the BIA as LEAs for the purposes of distributing the secondary school funds. In addition, under section 133(d), an eligible agency must distribute funds to charter schools in the same manner as to other schools. The eligible agency's allocation plan must ensure that charter schools receive the appropriate funds for which they are eligible in accordance with the Charter School Expansion Act of 1998 (P.L. 105-278). Further guidance will be forthcoming from the Department on these requirements.
Since the 5-17 data are also being used for allocations under Title I of Elementary and Secondary Education Act, we recommend that State vocational education directors coordinate their efforts to reflect changed LEA boundaries and LEAs without boundaries with the State's Title I personnel.
Please note that this memorandum has not been assigned an OMB control number under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3507(d)) because it is not intended as an information collection instrument. Therefore, you are not required to respond to it as an information collection. Please see section VI of the State plan guide for more detailed information on addressing these financial requirements in your State plan. If you have any questions or need additional information on these matters, please contact Mr. Jon Weintraub at (202) 205-5602.

Won't the blue edge not be visiblle after you paint the engine? Will this pass for judging?
Is the 34510 correct for a L48 ?
9 thin and 10 thick, but I have seen some reference to left or right oil tube? In one description it described the dipstick as right side thick front for the 34510. Mine and most I've seen are on the left or driver side and thick front gasket?
The correct gasket looks like this.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Stetson Pours in 23 in OT Winner Over Kennesaw State
from press release
KENNESAW, Ga. – Danielle Horgan and
Christina Loya combined for 13 goals as for the second straight
year, the Stetson University lacrosse team beat Kennesaw State for
its first A-Sun victory of the season. The Hatters downed the Owls
in thrilling fashion Saturday, 23-21 in overtime, as five different
players scored goals in the extra frame to seal the win for
Goal Keeper Caili Guilday made 14 saves in the win as Stetson earned its first victory of 2014 in its first conference game. The 23 goals scored by SU set a new program record.
The Hatters came out firing against the Owls as they scored just 32 seconds into the contest and then another one less than two minutes later to make it a quick 2-0 lead. KSU did not take the two goal deficit lying down as it sent the ball into the net a total of nine times during the course of the next 15 minutes, to make it 9-4 Kennesaw State with a little more than 10 minutes left to play in the first half.
Undeterred from its opponent's sudden rash of scoring, the Stetson offense went to work, reeling off six more goals to close out the half, making it an even 10-10 after the first 30 minutes of play. Horgan netted five goals during the first half, while Loya added a pair to give the Hatters some much needed momentum heading into the second half.
All knotted up to begin play during the final 30 minutes, the two teams traded goals for the first two minutes of the frame, until Stetson went on a 7-2 run to grab an 18-14 lead with a little more than 10 minutes remaining in regulation.
From that juncture, the Owls scored four unanswered goals during a seven minute stretch to even things up at 18-18 as the buzzer sounded on the second half, sending Stetson to its first overtime contest in program history.
Kennesaw State picked up where it left off in overtime, scoring a pair of goals to begin the five minute frame to make it 20-18. Five Stetson goals in the next three and a half minutes put the Owl rally to rest, as the Hatters closed out KSU, 23-21 on their home field.
Horgan finished the game with a team high seven goals, while Loya scored six. Maylis Broderick netted a hat trick, as Ana Baranowski, Lindsay Summers and Christina Wittmeier each scored two. Horgan led the Hatters with five ground balls, while MaryKate O'Sullivan was not too far off Horgan's pace at four.
The duo of Horgan and Loya was a near perfect one as both players combined for 15 shots to go along with their 13 goals. Baranowski had a half dozen shots in the win as Broderick fired off five attempts.
Looking at team stats, the Hatters and Owls were fairly even in ground balls (KSU 42, SU 39), while Kennesaw outshot Stetson 26-15 in the first half and 18-13 in the second. The Hats' seven shots in overtime to KSU's five proved to be the difference though, as Stetson scored five goals in the extra frame to the Owls' three.
Stetson was a perfect seven for seven on clears and converted on nine free position shots to Kenensaw State's four. The Hatters also were tops in saves with 14 to the Owls' eight.
In 2013, Stetson defeated Kennesaw 19-7 in DeLand for its first win and first A-Sun win in program history. Fast forward a year later and it was another set of firsts as Stetson earned its first ever overtime win.
The Hatters (1-12, 1-0) next take on Jacksonville, Saturday, Apr. 12 at the Athletic Training Center in DeLand. Game time is set for 1 p.m. at the ATC.

They Say It's Your Birthday
Today is my husband's birthday. I won't say which one, because I think we're both getting to that point where we'd rather not think about how old we actually are. It's also George Washington's birthday. You know, our first president, the guy on the dollar bill.
I often joke to my husband that I'm glad his parents didn't name him George. It's just not one of my favorite boy names. Sparky Anderson's parents, however, didn't ask my opinion before naming him George (well, that would have been impossible, I'm not that old!).
Yep, Sparky was a Phillie during his brief playing career, and his birthday is today, too.
I decided to see who else's birthday was on February 22. There is a nifty feature on Baseball-Reference.com that gives you a list of every major-league player born on a given day. Only two other Georges though – George Genovese, who played for the Washington Senators in 1950, and George Davies, who played for several teams from 1891-93.
Among the 51 players listed is the Mets' new set-up man, J.J. Putz. Now there's a name that seems like great fodder for jokes!🙂 J.J. was the object of one of last season's most unusual stadium giveaways, the J.J. Putz Soul Patch.
Everyone who attended the Mariners game on April 12, 2008 got to go home with their very own self-adhesive chin hair! These come up for sale on eBay every now and then, but I haven't gotten one yet. I'm tempted to, just for it's oddness quotient.
The most unusual name on the list has to be P*ssy (!) Tebeau, given name Charles Alston Tebeau. He appeared in a grand total of 2 games for the 1895 Cleveland Spiders. Let's hope that his nickname was meant to imply that he had feline agility.
Phormer (almost) Phillie Update
Kris Benson has signed a minor-league deal with the Texas Rangers. Benson was signed by the Phillies last year to a minor-league deal after missing the 2007 season following surgery for a torn rotator cuff. After going 1-6 with a 5.78 ERA during stints with the Clearwater Threshers, Reading Phillies, and Lehigh Valley IronPigs, he was released last August. Here's a photo of him pitching in Clearwater last June:
Good luck, Kris – hopefully 2009 will be a better year for you!
(Benson photo mine)

I love it – a player named Red Bird (who played one year) was born on my birthday! Tell your hubby Happy Birthday!
Julia – was Red Bird a Cardinal? That would be too perfect!
I see that somehow the system automatically removed the player's name from my post. Well, I can tell you via email, or you can look up "Tebeau" on Baseball-Reference.com.
Happy Birthday hubby! I am dreading mine…21 days and counting…blah!
Happy B-Day to your husband, Sue! As for the age thing? A reporter came to my house on Friday to do an interview about the book. He asked me how old I was. I said, "None of your business." I told him to describe me as a Baby Boomer. Figured that would cover it.
Tell your husband that I say 'Happy Birthday'! I didn't know that Sparky Anderson's real name was George. And did they really give away a JJ Putz soul patch? That's the wackiest giveaway I've ever seen!
Hmmm. That Benson fella. One of these days…
Julia, Jenn, Jane, and Elizabeth – my husband thanks you all for the birthday wishes!
Jeff – along with Kris comes Anna. You guys gotta like that, right?🙂

"make sports betting legal in every state!!!"
PLAYING WITH HOUSE MONEY IN 5 SPORTS IN 2016! Unbelievable BUT TRUE! AAA Sports finished +$17,000 with ALL MLB this season. They're now +$10K ALL NFL YTD (after finishing +$9,000 last season!). They're +$4,000 ALL NHL YTD and +$2,500 ALL CBB YTD. They're also +$2,300 ALL NBA YTD (looking back to 2013 sees them +$45K ALL NBA!). Time for a "sub?!"
1* Free Play Bruins.
REASONING: Boston has started to turn things around of late, having earned points in its last four contests. Florida gets caught looking ahead here with the first game of a back-to-back set. The Panthers mustered just 24 shots in a 2-0 loss to the Sens on Saturday. Goaltender Roberto Luongo has been good this year with a 2.04 GAA, but note that he's just 1-3-1 in his last five against Boston. The Bruins most recently beat the Sabres 2-1 on Saturday. Goaltender Tuukka Rask is 13-4-1 with a 1.60 GAA on the year. Note that he's an even better 16-3-1 with a 1.48 GAA lieftime against Florida. All things considered, we think the home side offers pretty good value in this matchup.

Silent Night, Pirate Style
In honor of my ongoing series, "Posts that have absolutely nothing to do with baseball except for the tangential mention of the word 'Baseball' in them," I bring you today's entry. At least this one has something to do with sports.
Hey, it's a step in the right direction. And it's even kind of Christmasy. Not only that, it could be fun to try at a baseball game. Imagine getting every fan in attendance to agree to be silent up until the home team scores their first run of the game. As a side note, I recommend that Pirates fans choose a slightly different idea. That could be a very silent night otherwise.
1 Comment
Yeah, yeah, yeah. A baseball silent night is all fun and games until someone starts pitching a shutout…because you know, superstitious lot that we are, that baseball fans would keep up that eerie silence the whole time. Happy Holidays guys!
– Kristen

text: Lipstick has come a long way since its moniker was coined in 1880! Not that I don't still love lipstick and plan on using it until the day I die… but in the last few years, new textures and finishes have emerged that have earned their keep along side of lipstick in our makeup drawers. Some last all day and never end up on your teeth, others are velvety and some are ingeniously matte and shiny at the same time! To really study them, I picked one color (a classic red) and one model (my sweet friend Sophia) to see how they compare and contrast. None look like a lipstick, even though all are just as pigmented and intense. (more…)
