Gregory was recently appointed to fill the seat on the board that became vacant when Rosario Salazar died.
"I didn't have the privilege of meeting her, but I hear she was very committed to the community," Gregory said. "That was a rough time for the board. They chose to appoint someone that had been working closely with the district. I was honored that they considered me."
Gregory will finish the time remaining on Salazar's term, and the seat will be up for election in May 2015.
"If things go well for the next nine to 10 months, I'll run for that seat," Gregory said.
One of Gregory's primary initiatives will be to help the district keep up with Portland's growth.
"I would like to see us adapt to accommodate the increased population, and the industry boom," she said. "The district has seen growth in the past few years, and I expect it to grow more. We need to have appropriate facilities to accommodate the numbers we'll be seeing."
One point of emphasis for helping the district adjust to growth lies in technological advances, Gregory said.
"I feel like the district is behind a bit as far as the digital age," she said. "I think the communication system can be enhanced with technology."
Gregory—who grew up in Clute—has lived in Portland for seven years. She moved here with her husband, Charles Gregory, when the physician was in residency training in Corpus Christi.
"We decided to stay in the area," Gregory said. "One of the main reasons we moved to Portland is we heard so many good things about the school district."
Gregory has four daughters and began volunteer work for the district when her oldest, Samantha, 8, began kindergarten. She served on a committee that worked to promote a bond that was eventually approved. The bond was proposed to fund the addition of the district's new athletic facility, the construction of a new East Cliff Elementary School, and the addition to Stephen F. Austin Elementary School. All projects are currently under construction.
"Thankfully, we were successful," Gregory said. "And then I kept attending board meetings."
Gregory served on the committee that recommended Stoddard Construction Management, Inc. - a company based in Bulverde - for the construction contract of the new East Cliff facility. The project will cost $16 million.
"They started (construction) a few weeks ago, and it's going like gang busters," Gregory said. "I'm happy to see that."
Gregory is a physical therapist and works at Affiliated Therapy Group in Corpus Christi. She received her bachelor's degree in health education at Texas A&M University at College Station and her master's degree in physical therapy at Texas Woman's University in Houston. She plans to help students develop plans for attending college or entering the workforce.
"Especially with all the industry coming to town, there's so much opportunity for those students," Gregory said. "We need to make sure those kids are ready for college or to go into the workforce. I want to see every kid succeed."

Special considerations to keep in mind when purchasing Adhesive Transfer Gun (ATG) tape is that it is reverse wound; the release liner is on the underside of the tape when it is unwound from the roll; so it requires the use of an ATG dispenser to apply it. Also rolls are wound on a plastic core which allows them to easily snap in to an ATG dispenser.
ATG tapes are used for picture framing, scrapbooking, graphic arts application, photo mounting, exhibit & POP displays, product assembly, and designing & packaging prototypes. The tapes used for this purpose have good adhesion to most plastic films, paper, and metal foils.
The ATG tapes which are used for photo mounting and scrapbooking are typically pH or acid neutral (pH 7, acid free) and are designed to not yellow over time. Examples of acid-free ATG tape include 3M Scotch 908 ATG Gold Tape and JVCC ATG-7502 ATG Tape.
ATG tape can also be used to create strong bonds with glass, wood, metals, paint, and most plastics. The 3M Scotch 924 ATG tape is all-purpose transfer tape that provides great adhesion to most materials. It is therefore great for assembling promotional items and posters. 3M Scotch 924 ATG tape is characterized by solvent resistance and UV resistance.

Affirmative Inaction!
With the issue of race dominating the headlines this week, I felt it my civic duty to address an all-too-often overlooked issue that has been increasingly detrimental to the game of baseball and society as a whole. It is a matter that has been consistently neglected by both casual fans and executive suits, the media and the players. Frankly, bringing it up now, in this forum, at a time when our country is in great need of healing from past and present atrocities, I must admit that I fear for my life.
But somebody has to say something. Because grave inequalities saturate our stadiums from the east coast to the west coast, in red states and in blue states, which sorta leaves out Canada, but they're guilty of sins too! Fear not, baseball fans, for I may be but one, but I am one for all.
And sacrifice is needed.
Ladies and gentlemen of this great nation, there are six birds currently employed by Major League Baseball. You will find them in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Washington D.C., Baltimore and Toronto (that's in Canada).
Ladies and gentlemen of this great nation, there are six monsters currently employed by Major League Baseball. You will find monsters in Cleveland, Boston, Tampa Bay, Cincinnati, Atlanta and Chicago (Southside).
While it saddens me that our nation's ignorance towards the fact that the privileged birds and monsters of the world are hoarding a great percentage of the jobs in baseball, I am happy to say some minority groups have been able to worm themselves into arguably comfortable positions. That is not to say it has been easy. Being a sea creature is not easy, folks. The pain, the ridicule, all that time spent out of water in the hot summer sun. That is not an easy life by any means. But you won't hear a complaint from the fabulous Lou Seal of San Francisco or Billy the Marlin in Miami. You also won't hear complaints from the two felines with steady jobs, even though they endure countless acts of ridicule themselves as victims of a vindictive world. Paws used to be the most exciting thing at Comerica until Leyland came in and that pizza man started buying all those rich ballplayers. And of course, who could forget the spiteful slangs of hate by the disenfranchised snake population directed towards D. Baxter the Bobcat, icon of the Arizona Diamondbacks?
Though outnumbered for now, it is apparent that at least the sea creatures and the felines of the world are making great strides towards a brighter tomorrow. And MLB is slowly rising to the call.
But ladies and gentlemen, this is 2008.
And it is embarrassing to report that there is only one, (yes I said just one), phanatic employed throughout the entire game of baseball.
I know, I know, phanatics are Republicans. I know. But ladies and gentlemen of this great nation, Republicans are living things too. Republicans have
feelings thoughts heartbeats. Republicans have mouths to feed. In fact, republicans have much to offer this world, including running around on ballfields pulling down players' pants and dancing the macarena on the tops of dugouts.
Ladies and gentlemen, it is time we stand up against these injustices. It is time we recognize that phanatics/republicans are just as capable of making fools out of themselves (in fact, much more capable) as birds, monsters, sea creatures and felines.
Consider yourself informed. You now have no excuse.
Don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.
P.S. Look for The Filibuster this weekend, the new weekly segment where Al and I jar one another with provocative questions in an attempt to get each other angry, or at least thinking about something in an opinionated way.
9 Comments
happy b-dau to me! spring break here i come!
Russell, you make a good point. The next question is: who would you rather pick up that 3am phone call, an angry man of god or a disenfranchised phanatic?
With regards to: "Ladies and gentlemen of this great nation, there are six birds currently employed by Major League Baseball. You will find them in St. Louis, Pittsburgh, San Diego, Washington D.C., Baltimore and Toronto (that's in Canada)."
What bird is in SD? Just not sure how the Padre bird counts… is this a metaphorical bird of some sort?
As usual, Republicans are getting short shrift from the liberal power elite who run universities, the media and many influential coffee bars in this country.
Courageous reporting.
Guy, to answer your question, the SD Padres' mascot is the infamous San Diego Chicken. Obviously you don't watch baseball. I still love you (as a brother) though.
Matt, this bit of ethical reporting was inspired by a chai tea latte at one of those 'coffee bars' that I will not name here on this unaffiliated site…unless they want to pay me.
just goes to show ya that everybody needs a job to eat. The older you get and the more money you get ya'll, the redder your going to be
Sooooo….the Phanatic is a republican because he was forced to meet Pres. Bush and actually resisted the urge to twist his head around like a defective barbie doll? Hee! Thanks for the link and the welcome…very cute article :o) Have a good one!

Cardboard sled race and donations for food pantry
February 20, 2013 —
Representatives of a dozen companies lined up with their cardboard sleds at the Holiday Mountain Ski and Fun Park on February 9 to take part in a race. The sleds could be made only from cardboard, tape and paint. The Woodstock Wind Balloon Company took the prize for "most creative," while the Poley Paving Company created the fastest sled.
After the race, five restaurants competed in the Second Annual Winter Wing Fling to benefit the Sullivan County Food Pantry. The Judge's Choice winners were Larry Valentia and Jerry O'Donnell of Holiday Mountain Ski and Fun Park.
The proceeds of the event, sponsored by the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce and Young Emerging Leaders, netted a donation of $1,000 to the pantry.

Lucky's Market moving HQ to Niwot
- published_in
- Today's News
Lucky's – which has stores in Boulder; Longmont; Columbus, Ohio; Columbia, Mo.; Billings, Mont.; and Louisville, Ky. – has leased 13,700 square feet at 6328 Monarch Park Place in the Boulder Tech Center near the intersection of Highways 52 and 119.
Owner and founder Bo Sharon – who partnered last year with Sunflower Farmers Market co-founder Patrick Gilliland to start the out-of-state expansion – said Friday that the plan is to be in the new digs by August. Sharon said Lucky's has about 80 employees at its headquarters and will add about 20 more over the next year.
It's full-speed ahead for a company that just earlier this year was entangled in a dispute with Albertsons and Save Mart Supermarket, which had filed a lawsuit in Montana accusing Lucky's Market of infringing on the trademark of California chain Lucky Supermarkets.
Sharon said Friday that the lawsuit was settled "amicably" a few months back. Without disclosing further details, he said his chain will be able to keep using its logo and branding going forward.
Lucky's Market's new headquarters will be more than three times the size of its 4,200-square-foot Gunbarrel location. The company had just moved to Gunbarrel a year and a half ago after outgrowing the office space at its original store in North Boulder.
Becky Callan Gamble of Dean Callan and Co. represented Lucky's on the lease of its new headquarters, while Chrisman Commercial and The Colorado Group represented the landlord.
"The ironic part of it is, from where we started, the Boulder store will fit inside the new home office," Sharon said.
Sharon said two more stores will open this year, with another eight in the works for 2015. The next will open in the St. Louis suburb of Ellisville, Mo., at the end of July. New sites have also been announced in Jackson Hole, Wyo.; Ann Arbor, Mich.; Bloomington, Ind.; and Rock Hill, Mo.
Sharon said the growth at the headquarters is due, not only to the addition of the new stores, but also to the success of those that have opened so far.
"Luckily everything's working very well, so in order to support the store base today and next year, (the headquarters expansion) is what we've got to do," Sharon said.
Editor's note: A previous version of this story incorrectly listed Chrisman Commercial as Chrisland Commercial. We apologize for the error.

Stingly Defense Leads Cortland Over Union
from press release
CORTLAND, N.Y. – The nationally second-ranked Cortland men's lacrosse team held 14th-ranked Union to just one goal in each quarter and defeated the Dutchmen, 9-4, in the NCAA Div. III Men's Lacrosse Quarterfinals Wednesday afternoon at the SUNY Cortland Stadium Complex. The Red Dragons, who set a school record with their 20th win against no losses, advanced to the national semifinals for the sixth time in the last seven years and will host fourth-ranked Tufts, a 15-13 winner versus RIT in the quarterfinals, Sunday, May 20 at a time to be determined. The Dutchmen ended their season at 13-5.
Seven different players scored at least one goal for Cortland, led by sophomore Joe Slavik (Binghamton/Seton Catholic) who tallied two goals and one assist and senior Greg Wright (Irondequoit/West Irondequoit) with a pair of goals. Senior Mike Tota (Webster/Webster Schroeder) contributed one goal and one assist, and seniors Zack Mulvaney (Deferiet/Carthage) and Eric Richards (Skaneateles) and juniors Tom Casey (Yorktown) and Taylor Mendoza (Greensboro, NC/Western Guilford) each netted a goal. Freshman Mike Cantelli (Holmdel, NJ) picked up an assist.
Junior goalie Mike Kaminski (Sayville) turned aside 10 shots in 59 minutes, six seconds before giving way to sophomore Scott Tota (Webster/Webster Schroeder), who did not face a shot in the final 32 seconds. Junior Nick Jarvis (Syracuse/Onondaga Central) won 9-of-16 faceoffs. Sophomore Doug Meehan (Sayville) collected a game-high five ground balls, Mike Tota had four and sophomore Brian Winterfeldt (Merrick/Calhoun) also scooped up four ground balls.
Seniors Ted McKenna (Westford, MA/Philips Exeter Academy) and Nick Alfonzetti (Brewster) and juniors Peter Greisinger (Winchester, MA) and Nolan Connors (Niskayuna) scored one goal apiece for Union, while sophomore Rob Santangelo (Rye) chipped in with an assist. Senior goalie Sean Aaron (Great Falls, VA/Philips Academy) registered 16 saves in 59:28, and freshman Stefan Basile (Fayetteville/Fayetteville-Manlius) played the final 32 seconds between the pipes.
The game featured a deliberate pace throughout as each team worked the ball in search of quality scoring chances. Tota gave Cortland a 1-0 lead at 7:49 off Slavik's feed with a man-up goal, and Mendoza made it 2-0 at 4:24. Greisinger put the Dutchmen on the scoreboard just over a minute later and the Red Dragons led 2-1 after the opening 15 minutes of play. Cortland took control of the game in the second quarter, rattling off four consecutive goals for a 6-1 lead. Slavik sandwiched a pair of goals around a Wright score and Casey found the top corner of the net with a bounce shot at 3:05. The Dutchmen, however, took some momentum into halftime when Connors collected a loose ball on the right side of the cage and tucked in a shot at the horn to make it 6-2 at the break.
Union came out quick in the third quarter, pulling to within 6-3 on Alfonzetti's unassisted goal at 14:07. That goal would prove to be the only score of the third quarter as Aaron registered six of his saves in the game on eight Cortland shots. In the fourth, Wright and Mulvaney recorded quick scores at 14:13 and 12:02, and the Red Dragons led, 8-3. McKenna answered with his goal at 10:49 to make it 8-4, but Cortland kept the Dutchmen from scoring again and Richards completed the scoring with an unassisted effort at 7:20 for the 9-4 final.

Fixed-income veteran exits Deutsche Bank
One of the top European executives in Deutsche Bank's giant fixed-income sales and trading operations is leaving – the second senior departure from the bank's markets business to come to light this week.
Michele Foresti, until recently head of European credit and rates trading, is to leave, according to two people close to the situation. Foresti could not be reached for comment.
He first joined the German bank in 1996 and has risen to become one of the most senior members of staff within its giant sales and trading business. Rates and credit are two of the biggest contributors to Deutsche Bank's trading revenues. Last year, analysts at JP Morgan estimated that the two businesses typically accounted for more than 40% of fixed-income revenues.
The news comes hot on the heels of the exit of Steffen Fuchs, co-head of equities distribution in Europe, which was revealed by Financial News on Monday.
Their departures follow changes at the top of Deutsche Bank's fixed income business and institutional client group. Rich Herman, the previous head of ICG, which houses the bank's global sales force, was moved last month to take over as co-head of fixed income and currencies.
Herman is not being replaced as head of ICG, with the equities sales force now reporting to Garth Ritchie, who heads equities overall. The debt sales team will continue to report to John Pipilis.
Wayne Felson, the previous co-head of FIC, was moved to a newly-created role focusing on technology, leverage, capital and risk as a member of the corporate banking and securities and markets executive committees.
-- Correction: An earlier version of this story mis-spelt the name of Steffen Fuchs. This has been corrected.

A former Kauai politician will head to court Thursday to answer charges of disturbing and damaging a historic Native Hawaiian site.
Meanwhile, Garden Isle prosecutors are cracking down on the thefts of sacred stones.
"The Hawaiians tapped the water coming from the mountains and built a 100-mile irrigation system to irrigate the pockets of dirt within this rock outcropping," said Koloa resident Ted Blake.
Kauai's heiau and other ancient Hawaiian sites are a source of pride for Blake, "We have such an archeological treasure trove of sites here, and finally it's being re-discovered by people."
Blake has seen a number of the sacred sites restored, but he's also seen others damaged when people come to the rock-strewn landscapes for more than just a look at Hawaii's past.
"For people building stone walls, they come and help themselves to rock here. All of the rocks they are taking down are archeological sites they are taking down," said Blake.
Former state Rep. Roland Sagum III and Lealiki Koli are accused of doing just that, taking rocks and damaging a cultural preserve on Kauai's south side, near a popular heiau.
While there haven't been many arrested recently, it is a crime Kauai's prosecutor said his office takes seriously.
"The cultural and historic resources of our islands are something we want to preserve for future generations," said Kauai Prosecutor Justin Kollar.
Sagum and Koli are accused of taking truck loads of the rock during the summer of 2011. The rocks were on land owned by Kukui'ula Development Corporation. The pair reportedly used those rocks for a wall that was built on Sagum's property.
Sagum's attorney said that was not the case and wants to prove it in court.
"We believe the charge against Roland is based on misunderstanding of the facts. Once all the information is turned over, we will likely file for a dismissal for Sagum," said his attorney Craig De Costa.
Kollar said these types of criminal case can sometimes be hard to prosecute because it may be difficult to identify exactly where the sacred stones were originally located.
This time though, Kollar said the case is rock-solid because there are eyewitness reports. Which, he added, was the key to keeping other sacred sites intact in the future.
"People may see things that are being desecrated, or improper things going on. For us to find out about it, someone has to speak up and say something," said Kollar.
No court date has been set for Koli. Both men face second degree theft charges, which are considered felonies.
In addition to this latest criminal case, there are other rock theft investigations going on.

St. Johnsbury Country Club - The Crown Jewel of the Northeast Kingdom
A Rich History of Golf at St. Johnsbury Country Club
Golf began in St. Johnsbury in 1923 when Willie Park, Jr., two-time winner of the British Open designed nine diverse, interesting and singular golf holes for the newly formed club. It would be the last of Park's 60 North American designs due to his ailing health. The installation of the greens was completed by his brother Mungo.
In 1992 famed architect Geoffrey Cornish, aided by lifelong member Jim Havers, cradled the original nine in the embrace of nine peripheral holes. While the older holes require finesse, the new nine demand power. Bring your best up-and-down skills to par the outward half, display placement and clear thinking on the way home.
There are three factors to consider when looking for a golf-course: quality, value and fun. St. Johnsbury Country Club scores a hole-in-one on all three.
1. Quality: St. Johnsbury has earned a reputation for flawless greens, lush fairways and well-carpeted tees. The maturity of the original nine holes and the state-of-the-art new loop blend together to produce two distinct golfing experiences that complement each other perfectly.
2. Value: There's no contest here. St. Johnsbury offers reasonable rates, and much more value for your golfing dollar than you're accustomed to.
3. Fun: The fun begins with the scenery, the course, the staff and the shotmaking. Play at your own pace on the historic links with all modern amenities. You will be back to rise to the challenge again.

Quick iPad link
Here is a quick link to an interesting iPad article over at InfoWorld: The iPad questions Apple won't answer
Saving and loading documents is a biggie for me, without options like those certain uses for the iPad are totally lost. Being able to edit documents that you don't have to email yourself seems a pretty big requirement to me, I don't see how Apple would omit it. Sounds like we'll just have to wait and see.
iPad News
Since the launch of the iPad there have been a lot of articles and blog posts written about it. Many of them are positive and many, perhaps even more of them have been negative. Personally I understand that. Robert Cringley doesn't seem to like the iPad all that much, and neither does John Dvorak, while John Gruber over at DaringFireball.net seems to like it quite a bit.
One interesting point that Dvorak brings up is the fact that people are griping about the iPad, and he seems to feel that there is more griping then in the past. While I'm not sure if there is more griping about the iPad then there was about the iPhone initially or the Apple TV, there are a lot of unhappy people.
And to tell you the truth I was one of those unhappy people at first. I saw the iPad and I just wasn't excited about it. However over the weekend I thought about the iPad more and more and my opinions began to change.
I had issues with the fact that it wasn't as powerful as a laptop, it wasn't open, I couldn't program on it, it wasn't like any computer that I had ever used. In the end it was that, it wasn't like a laptop or a desktop it was something different. It wasn't for programming or any "hardcore" computing (yet) it was for checking your email quickly without having to leave the room, checking the news, checking the weather, maybe sending an email or writing up a few notes. Will I use it to read a book? probably not. Will I use it to watch a movie? probably not...well maybe something on youTube. But I will use it for quick tasks, and maybe some document writing depending on how the keyboard feels.
One of the biggest selling point for me is gaming. The iPad has (in my opinion) some great opportunities for new styles of games, games that I cam play anywhere in the house. Take the games that were available for the iPhone or iPod Touch and make them real. Now that's something that I can get behind.

Faculty and students are enjoying the rare chance to collaborate with a composer of international fame. Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky, North Central's composer-in-residence, is sharing his vast experience that includes commissions for renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, countless movie scores and other international projects. A native of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, he most recently has been a composer-in-residence at Harvard University and Dartmouth College.
"While it's a challenge to teach in English, I teach in the language of music," he says. "Music bridges all languages and everyone can understand it." During winter term, Yanov-Yanovsky is mentoring composing students who meet as a group to listen to other composers and then individually to create their own compositions. "Many of the pieces I am working on are simple little etudes to help me develop a better connection between my thoughts and the paper," says Brian Riordan '11, a music major. "The bar has been set high but I enjoy what I am learning. It is great studying with Dmitri."
Yanov-Yanovsky is also helping the music department organize a Chamber New Music Festival for April 11-13 at North Central. He's also composing a piece for North Central's string ensemble that features Beatles music. "Using familiar music is a good way for students to practice and experience new techniques," he explains. While at North Central, Yanov-Yanovsky will work on several commissions, including one for an English group called the Hilliard Ensemble. Another piece underway will debut at a special U.S. Library of Congress event. His pieces are unique to each instrument, ensemble and theme and he embraces diversity in his work.
Among Yanov-Yanovsky's esteemed projects was his collaboration with Yo-Yo Ma on the Silk Road Project, which produced "Night Music: Voice in the Leaves" that opened the Chicago Symphony Orchestra's season in 2006. Culturally versatile, he wrote music for the Chinese sheng—a folk instrument that's a mouth organ consisting of vertical pipes— which was featured in his work for the Silk Road Ensemble.
Yanov-Yanovsky came from a musical family and was known in his native country for organizing an international contemporary music festival in Tashkent. But his success was probably his downfall, he says, and the festival was no longer permitted by government authorities. "It was the only cultural event in Uzbekistan that was independent," he says. "But that means the government had no control. I had no future there."
He returns to visit family but feels unwelcome in Eastern Europe to pursue his craft. He has support from the Scholar Rescue fund, which assists international scholars at risk in their home countries.
"I appreciate the opportunity North Central has given me, it's a wonderful place," he says. "I hope I can do something useful for the students during my residency here."
Cellist Yo-Yo Ma, who will perform in North Central's Wentz Concert Hall on Oct. 1, 2011, as part of the College's Sesquicentennial celebration, praises the Russian composer's work.
"Dmitri Yanov-Yanovsky's musical voice is a testament to his deep interest in cultural understanding and communication," Ma said in an email. "His compositions are embraced by classical musicians and audiences alike, as deeply appreciated in his Central Asia homeland as in the Western world."

A bunch of bunnies gave it their all and kept judges hopping Tuesday at the Roosevelt County Fair Rabbit Show.
The special interest rabbit competition makes it possible for children to show animals when they might not be able to raise cattle, pigs, or other large animals.
"I've been showing rabbits since I was 5," said Michael Nicholes, 16, of Portales. "We've gone through several different breeds. First we had Florida whites, New Zealands and Californias. We got rid of the Florida whites to make room for our different colors of New Zealands."
They started out with 15 rabbits. His family finally built a rabbit barn.
Being rabbits, the population soon swelled to 200, give or a take a few.
Nicholes won first place with his Californian senior buck. A senior doe won Best in Breed.
He also placed fifth in meat pen, where rabbits are sold for consumption.
Most competing rabbit owners belong to the American Rabbit Breeders Association, an organization dedicated to the promotion, development and improvement of domestic rabbits and cavies, or guinea pigs.
Each rabbit is judged on strict guidelines. The slightest imperfection, such as a blaze of color on a rabbit's face, or even the loss of a nail, can result in a disqualification.
The rabbit show has been part of the fair for more than 35 years.
Meat pen Grand Champions can sell for up to $1,400 or as low as $800.
Madison Belcher, 9, of Portales, won Reserve Champion and Colter Lamb, 9, of Portales, won Grand Champion in the meat pen.
Andrew Underbrink, 10, of Portales took California Best in Show for his senior doe Sundae, along with a few ribbons for first, second and third-place finishes. Andrew said he's been showing rabbits for two years.
"It's fun. You make a lot new friends if you can," Andrew said.
Some might call it rabbit fever.
"Well," said Andrew's father, Scott Underbrink, "when you have so many people who love animals, someone is going to have some kind of show to see who has the best one."

U.S. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings today announced the release of non-regulatory guidance to assist states and local educators in implementing the public school choice and supplemental educational services (SES) provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act. These provisions are intended to help increase academic achievement by giving parents of eligible students, in Title I schools identified for improvement, the options to transfer to another better public school in the district or to receive free tutoring.
"Families want choices in education because they know their children benefit from them. By offering a range of educational options for parents and injecting competition into the system, we support innovations that help students do better," said Secretary Spellings. "SES and public school choice are lifelines for students who need more resources and parents who want more options. Research shows that students participating in SES are improving in both their reading and math skills."
The two non-regulatory guidance documents released today update and expand upon previous versions of the guidance. The guidance addresses issues related to the new Title I regulations released in Oct. 2008, and includes information on other major policy guidance the Department has released over the last few years. The new guidance documents include information on the following topics, among others:
- The requirements for districts to notify parents of their transfer options at least 14 days before the start of the school year;
- The requirements for districts' SES notices to parents;
- The requirements for districts to post certain information on public school choice and SES on their Web sites;
- The allowance available to districts for costs associated with parent outreach and assistance as part of their 20 percent funding obligation;
- The requirements for districts that do not meet their 20 percent funding obligation;
- The requirements for states to approve and monitor SES providers.

Research Matters Curiosity Shop coming to Laurier
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
Jun 9/14| For Immediate Release
Abby Goodrum, Vice-President, Research
Lori Chalmers Morrison, Acting Director
WATERLOO What could cause a zombie apocalypse? Is world peace really possible? Do plants really have feelings? Believe it or not, these are all questions that can be answered by university researchers.
On June 11, Research Matters, an initiative of the Council of Ontario Universities (COU), will bring the Curiosity Shop to Lauriers Waterloo campus, looking for curious people to pose questions simple or complex, specific or broad which will then be answered by Ontario researchers.
"The Curiosity Shop is a wonderful way for people to experience how research can provide insight into questions we think about every day," said Max Blouw, COU chair and Laurier president and vice-chancellor. "Universities play an important role in the broader community, and the Curiosity Shop does an excellent job of making the connection."
The Curiosity Shop travels the province, setting up on university campuses and at festivals and public events, collecting queries from the public. The questions are then answered online by a researcher from an Ontario university. Several Laurier researchers have answered previous questions from the Curiosity Shop, including:
- Penelope Ironstone, associate interdisciplinary professor: What is the most likely cause of the zombie apocalypse?
- Lee Willingham, associate professor of music: Why does every generation think the next generations music sounds like noise?
- Rhoda Howard-Hassman, Canada Research Chair in International Human Rights and Alex Latta, associate professor of global studies: Should access to water be considered a human right?
- Tim Donais, associate professor and chair of global studies: Could there really be world peace?
- Tristan Long, assistant professor of biology: Are we still evolving as a species?
- Colin Robertson, assistant professor of geography and environmental studies: How can digital technology benefit Canada in the future?
- Ginette Lafreniere, associate professor in the Faculty of Social Work, who answered: Why are women so obsessed with being youthful?
At Laurier, we are proud of our strong reputation for research excellence and we foster a deep commitment to the community in everything that we do, said Abby Goodrum, vice-president: Research at Laurier. The Curiosity Shop initiative provides an opportunity for our local community to engage with Lauriers world-class researchers as well as researchers across Ontario.
The Curiosity Shop will be in the Upper Concourse in the Arts Buildings E Wing on Lauriers Waterloo campus Wednesday, June 11 from 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The shop will also be at the St. Jacobs Farmers Market June 12 from 7 a.m. 3:30 p.m. and the Kitchener Market June 14 from 7 a.m. 2 p.m.

Students learn to help others tell their stories through video
By Sally Jongsma
Communication Professors Charles Veenstra and Mark Volkers are planning to expand video production education for their communication majors.
New video equipment is ordered for the communication department, and new courses in video production are on the schedule for next fall. Renovating studio and classroom space began already this past summer, and Professor Mark Volkers has settled in as the new communication professor and electronic media specialist on campus.
Dr. Charles Veenstra, chair of the communication department, believes that Volkers� appointment will make good things happen in the program.
�Volkers brings cutting edge expertise in visual technology, filling a position that has been vacant for the past year,� Veenstra says. As the department begins its scheduled program review, Veenstra is delighted to have Volkers help assess how the program can expand in the next five years.
Volkers� two big interests are missions and communication. In his former position as communications director for Christian Reformed World Missions, he combined both. He expects to do the same here�training students to live out their calling through visual media.
�My passion is to help Christian organizations tell their story,� he says. He is eager to have his students learn how to showcase organizations and share information through film, shaping that information in a way that encourages people to act.
�The focus for me is not on technique, yet it has to be that too,� Volkers says, adding, �Christians should set a standard of excellence, not drag behind.� Volkers tries to work with people in a way that allows them to communicate in the best way they can. He�ll try to help his students learn that lesson, too. He also stresses basic communication through the written word, believing that people need to be able to write well if they are to communicate well.
�I hope all of my students will take advanced composition,� he says. Communication has grown to include technology, but he believes that it still rests on good writing skills.
Volkers, who spent seven years doing mission work in Africa, has filmed, written, and produced documentary films about cultures and people from around the world. He has received fifteen Telly Awards for his documentaries. As communications director for CRWM, he oversaw their website, produced films, acted as photojournalist, and edited Proclaim magazine. Volkers recently completed his first year of a Ph.D in communications at Wayne State University in Dearborn, Michigan.
Under Volkers� supervision, Dordt College is adding ten Avid Suite stations. Avid is the industry standard in video technology software and is used by most of the television and movie industry. It will allow Dordt students to produce news and documentary stories and films in their communication program. In addition, they will take courses that teach them about lighting, camera work, audio, interviewing, directing, editing, and more.
�Our niche at Dordt College may well be to help students build good documentary videos,� Volkers says. That background will prepare them to work in video production firms that produce anything from Hollywood films to industry training videos to documentaries. It would also prepare them to work with an advertising agency.
While Volkers builds the video end of the communication major he is also putting his craft to work for the college. The admissions office is beginning to plan its next DVD to introduce prospective students to the college, due out in the spring of 2007. With some help from his students, Volkers will shoot and produce the video rather than bring in an outside production company to do the final product. The college will benefit from Volkers� award-winning expertise, and students will get hands-on experience.
�You can�t learn this stuff simply from a textbook,� Volkers says, adding, �You need to get in and get your �hands dirty��while you�re reading your text.� Students also need to learn to improvise. But much of the work comes down to basics�good lighting, good writing, and good design.
Volkers and Art Professor David Versluis have also begun to talk about how they can work together in the video communication and graphic art programs to develop and include animation in their projects.
�Video media is a powerful form of communication. If we don�t tell our story, someone else will. And they won�t necessarily get it right,� says Volkers. For him �our story� is what God is doing in the world. And that story needs to be told well.

Veteran prime broker leaves Credit Suisse
The former head of European prime services at Credit Suisse, who moved into an advisory role in September, has left the bank after seven years, according to three people familiar with the situation.
Roy Martins, who joined Credit Suisse in May 2007 after 12 years at Morgan Stanley, was most recently an adviser at the bank's prime services division in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, focused on business strategy.
He had run the division in Europe until stepping back last September and was also a managing director, and a member of the European equities management committee and the prime services management committee.
His former role as head of the unit in Europe is now held by long-standing colleague Dougal Brech.
Martins, who was named in the FN100 ranking of the Most Influential People in European Finance in 2012, was instrumental in building Credit Suisse's market share in prime brokerage. The Swiss bank has been the top European prime broker by assets since the end of 2009 and accounts for almost 20% of the European market by assets, according to the most recent annual survey from trade magazine EuroHedge, published last April.
In July 2012, Martins carried the Olympic torch through Croydon, after being nominated by colleagues for his work with a children's charity in India. Martins is chairman of Pratham UK, the overseas chapter of Pratham India. Pratham was started in Mumbai by UNICEF and Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai in 1994 with the maxim "every child in school and learning well".

I walked away from a career I loved, had spent a lot of money and 10 years of my life preparing for (I'm a veterinarian) and was very well paid in order to stay at home with my first child. It cut our income in half, and we don't live where it's cheap to live.
It can be done. We do without a lot of stuff, like cable TV, high speed internet, eating out, all kinds of nice stuff, but we have the basics covered plus a little.
I did start picking up PT work out of the home when my oldest was 18 months old; before that, I watched a neighbor's baby to just make a little pocket money for me.
Are the extra things your income buys worth missing all the firsts? That's what did it for me. The money is nothing in comparision to my children.
Good luck deciding what to do regarding going back to work or not.
For starting a stash, I would just start pumping a little bit every day and build up a day or two's worth of milk. Then, once you are back at work, you pump the next day's supply while away from your LO.

It's no surprise that the world gets taken in by hoaxers and con men. They're really good at what they do and most of us are bored enough to believe anything as long as it takes our mind off the cubicle for a while.
And even when the hoaxers get accused of fakery, we may still take their side. After all, those negative doubting types try to shoot down everything! Who cares what they say! What is harder to explain, though, is the times when the perpetrators of a hoax come out themselves and confess to the fakery... and people still go right on believing.
Note: Look, we love mysteries as much as anyone. Probably more. Maybe so much that we have a problem. Whatever. Keep your psychotherapy to yourself, Internet.
But as this Cracked Classic shows, the thing about mysteries is that, before you go around talking about how no one has figured them out, you should make sure that that "long lost answer" is buried under more than five seconds worth of Googling. -Cracked.

This famous picture, which shows what looks like the head of a prehistoric creature emerging from the waves of Scotland's Loch Ness, was allegedly snapped by gynecologist Robert Wilson in 1934. It soon became known as the "surgeon's photograph," because searching for "gynecologist's photograph" on Google Images will absolutely not result in finding this picture.
Before Dr. Vagina's famous photo, the Loch Ness Monster had been limited to a few legends and scattered local sightings, which presumably accompanied spottings of highland prostitutes and grain alcohol. After the surgeon's photo, however, the creature gained worldwide attention, despite the fact that Wilson himself denied the Loch Ness Monster even existed and insisted he had just taken a picture of some animal he didn't recognize.
"Ooh, an animal I don't recognize! Good thing I don't believe in monsters or I would be shitting all over myself right now."
Monster sightings and photographs continued unabated in the area for the next 60 years until 1994, when a man named Christian Spurling finally confessed to the hoax. Spurling explained that his father-in-law Marmaduke Wetherall had staged the picture using a fake monster head attached to an 18-inch long toy submarine.
The whole ridiculous plan was an attempt to get back at his employer, a newspaper called the Daily Mail that had ridiculed him in a recent issue. Wetherall had Dr. Wilson submit the picture to give it more "respectability."
The original uncropped image, which is clearly a prehistoric beast and not a duck or a bathtub toy.
And Yet...
So that's the end of the Loch Ness Monster, right?
Not even close. Die-hard cryptozoologists immediately dismissed Spurling's hoax confession, insisting the resources that he described being used to make the fake monster didn't exist in 1934 (fake monster heads would apparently not be invented until much later).
To this day, the Loch Ness Monster industry is thriving, and every few years there's a new, expensive expedition setting out to find it. There was a 2003 BBC special that employed satellites and 600 separate sonar beams to try to track down the beast once and for all.
So Why Do They Still Believe?
The fact that there are "cryptozoologists" in the world (that is, people who specialize in tracking legendary creatures to prove they're real) should tell you. There are people who have staked their reputations on the creature being real and depend on the income from books asserting such. It's not so easy for somebody in that position to give in to the "wooden head glued to a toy submarine" theory.
Latest photograph of the monster.
If there were only some way to walk away from the theory and save face at the same time... oh, wait. Some Loch Ness Monster experts say the creature has probably now died. Due to global warming.
We should also point out that Loch Ness is located in an area where the other main attractions involve grim industrial sprawl and a dish made of ground sheep's heart, so they're going to promote the hell out of any mythical creature they can get their hands on. Scotland would probably be claiming Highlander as a true story if they thought they could get away with it.
4The Mummy's Curse
In 1922, Howard Carter and his friends opened the tomb of the Pharaoh Tutankhamen in Egypt, unearthing rooms filled with magnificent treasures and igniting a surge of interest in Egyptology. Unfortunately, they also ignited a series of terrifying events that was almost immediately attributed to the "Pharaoh's Curse."
Reports said there was an inscription on the wall of the gravesite that read "They who enter this sacred tomb shall swift be visited by wings of death." Sure enough, Lord Carnarvon, a member of the party who was originally sent to Egypt's warm climate by his doctor because of his poor health, dropped dead days afterward from an infected mosquito bite.
"Ha ha, I'm a mosquito, and... fuck you.
That unfortunate incident likely cast a dubious shadow over any advice Lord Carnarvon's doctor would offer anyone in the future because what fucking doctor tells you to go to Egypt if you're under the weather.
At the moment of Carnarvon's death, a blackout reportedly swept through Cairo, solidifying the notion of an ancient curse that newspapers around the world quickly picked up on.
Only one problem: the "curse" allegedly inscribed on the wall, never existed. It was apparently invented by one of the newspapers that covered the find. Records of curses have been found in other tombs, but evidently King Tut figured being buried in the sands of Egypt inside a giant stone crypt was enough to deter most people from fucking with his dead body.
So, combined with the fact that the curse physically is not there, and that most of Carter's remaining party lived to a ripe old age, you'd suspect this one wouldn't get much traction.
And Yet...
When artifacts from the tomb were on tour in the U.S. and one of the guards suffered a stroke, you guessed it: they blamed it on the curse. This was in the 1970s, 50 freaking years later.
The idea became so utterly entrenched that the concept of cursed Egyptian tombs and mummies is almost as much a cultural icon as the haunted house (count how many mummies you see among the Halloween decorations this year).
The curse has also inspired dozens of movies over the decades and countless dumbass Brendan Fraser one-liners.
Clearly, evil is at work here.
So Why Do They Still Believe?
Let's face it, mummies are awesome. They are corpses left over from a culture that worshiped death and their internal organs are kept in jars carved with the heads of animals. That is metal as fuck, so it's fun to believe they had all sorts of connections to the occult that we can only dream about.
Combine that with the whole "the ancient Mayans predicted the end of the world" theory and you realize that there's something attractive about the idea that people way back when knew things we didn't. Maybe it's because we look around at a world full of inane Twitterings and TV shows about dating Flavor Flav, and find comfort in the idea that once up on a time, not only was the world less retarded, but they possessed wisdom so deep they could bend the rules of time and space.
Sure, it seems a little odd that mankind somehow forgot all this supernatural knowledge when it offers such a gigantic advantage to whoever has it. But that's probably just because we aren't believing hard enough.

I've been pregnant and nursing several times.
The B6 works well if taken with Unisom. The TABLETS, not the capsules. I would take one tablet at bedtime and take like half the dose of B6 the midwife suggested, then the other half of the B6 in the AM, and it really helped me with my third. The Unisom made me too sleepy to take in the day, but some moms find that a half dose of Unisom in the AM helps too. I was bordering on HE with my third through the whole pregnancy; I was throwing up until he was born. That said, I would use Zofran. It really helps
The nursling she has now, though, is nursing that much because the LO's instincts are telling her to nurse more to increase supply. The problem...supply while pregnant is NOT driven at all by demand. It is purely hormonally based. 80% or more of pregnant mamas lose their milk supply during pregnancy. Some nurslings continue nursing even though there is no milk present, others quit, others quit and come back to it. I've had all three. And the mother has no control over it. But yeah, the nursling's constant demands are very difficult. I used to feel terrible when I had to put my second child down to go throw up and the nursing sometimes made me feel physically sick.
The concern now is this really: a baby under 12 months should have the majority of its nutrition from mother's milk or formula. Not solids. Not juices. So the potential that she will need to start supplementing with something is very, very good. Watch diaper output. If wets start decreasing, then she will need to find a supplement. It doesn't have to be given in a bottle. She could use a cup or an SNS. If baby starts wanting more solids, she might want to supplement. IF baby was 11 months old, I would probably not supplement. But a 9 month old..I'd supplement.

I obviously feel sorry for guys like Devin Harris, Douglas Roberts, and Brook Lopez who are legit players who are stuck in a rut for a long season.
I do not feel sorry for the Nets management who allowed this horrible season to take place.
Any GM and Owner should be fired after having a 2-27 season. The NBA should make a rule that if a team sucks so bad that whoever owns it has to give up their rights to the team.
Wouldn't that solve most problems with struggling teams?

On October 30, 1938, rising radio star Orson Welles boondoggles the American public into believing that Martians have attacked Earth. With his clever adaptation of The War of the Worlds, the great showman proves he can get away with anything - maybe even murder.
Minutes before the fictitious invasion goes live on the air, a dead body is found in the studio and the polarizing Welles is the obvious suspect. Convinced that the star has been framed, Walter Gibson - creator of pulp superhero the Shadow - has exactly one hour, the length of the radio show, to solve the murder. But in show business, appearances are deceptive, and the facts of this case are not what they seem.
The sixth in the series of Max Allan Collins's disaster thrillers, The War of the Worlds Murder offers up historical high jinks of Welles-ian proportions.

"It was free and I still feel tempted to return it"
The entire story was disorganized and did not meet the expectations given by the title.
This story could have been organized with a clear point and clear characters. It had the promise, just no follow through.
Better than Average.
Probably not. I've been forcing myself to let it play through.
"Ran Out Of Heller Books Soooo..."
I would highly recommend that before you read or listen to this that you first pick up the MP3 or Audible file of the actual radio broadcast of Orson Welles and the Mercury Theater from 1938. The two together are great fun.

Keokuk Pleads With Black Hawk
Keokuk, a powerful leader of the Sauk, realized the hopelessness of Black Hawk's war against the whites.
Who indeed are our people, who do not morn the death of some loved one at the hand of some long guns, whose cabins are as plenty as the trees in the forest. In a contest where our numbers are so unequal to theirs, we must ultimately fail. Your long experience upon the warpath tells you that only failure with result from this suicidal undertaking. You have been cruelly deceived by evil counselors who are leading you into the crocked path of the bad spirit; those who have no love for you, or respect for your gray hairs, our good name. I beseech you by everything you hold sacred, abandoned this wild and desperate undertaking, stay in your village and plant the summer's crop. Rise to the dignity of your honored position of leader of your people and shake off the bad spirits which bind you hand and foot. If you persist on going on a warpath with the white people, then in deed may we bid farewell to Black Hawk, whose guiding spirit has forsaken him in his old age.
Ignoring Keokuk's advice and following that of misguided advisors, Black Hawk once again crossed the river to Saukenuk.

Dumas and the CountNovember 21,2012The senior Alexandre Dumas was a very prolific writer, particularly of historical novels, which sometimes ran to several volumes. He wrote in the days before there were typewriters, and sometimes hired hacks to write the background text for his works. But when he wanted to concentrate on personalities, he had a keen ear for dialogue and human nature.
The Count of Monte Cristo is a Gothic tale of unjust imprisonment, fabulous wealth and implacable revenge. One section is about a breakfast in Paris, given by a viscount, Albert de Morcerf, for the count. He met the count in Rome and invited him to the breakfast at 10:30 on a certain date. He had invited various friends to participate and the dialogue perfectly reflects the banter and gossip of upper-class Parisians of the time.
The background international event has to do with a pretender to the Spanish throne, Don Carlos, who the French have taken into protective custody on the Spanish border. The first guest to arrive at Morcerfs apartment for breakfast is Lucien Debray, secretary to the minister of the interior. Morcerf says:
Your punctuality really alarms me. You, whom I expected last, arrive at five minutes to 10, when the time fixed was half-past. Has the ministry resigned?
No, my dear fellow returned the young man, seating himself on the divan. Reassure yourself. We are tottering always, but we never fall....
Morcerf says: I see you have a blue ribbon at your buttonhole.
Yes, they sent me the order of Charles III, returned Debray carelessly.
Come, do not affect indifference, but confess you were pleased to have it.
Oh, it is very well as a finish to the toilet. It looks very neat on a black coat buttoned up ... It is for that reason you see me so early.
Because you have the order of Charles III and wish to announce the good news to me?
No, because I passed the night writing letters, 25 dispatches. I got up and went for a ride. In the Bois de Boulonge boredom and hunger attacked me at once. I then recollected you gave a breakfast this morning, and here I am. I am hungry, feed me. I am bored, amuse me.
After a little more conversation comes the arrival of Beauchamp a newspaper editor, But Debray says contemptuously that he never reads the papers.
Come in, come in, said Albert rising and advancing to meet the young man. Here is Debray, who detests you without reading you.
He is quite right, returned Beauchamp, for I criticize him without knowing what he does. Good-day, commander.
Ah, you know about that already, said the private secretary, smiling and shaking hands with him.
Soon there arrive a young aristocrat, Chateau-Renaud, and a soldier, Maximilian Morrel. After more chit-chat, Debray is impatient for breakfast, and says, Come, my dear Albert, confess that your cook is behindhand, that the oysters have not arrived from Ostend ... say so at once, and we are sufficiently well-bred to excuse you.
Morcerf explains how the Count of Monte Cristo rescued him from bandits outside Rome. His friends listen, half doubting, and just as 10:30 strikes the valet announces the count. The story continues:
The count advanced, smiling, into the center of the room and approached Albert, who hastened toward him holding out his hand in a ceremonial manner. Punctuality said Monte Cristo, is the politeness of kings, according to one of your sovereigns, I think. But it is not the same with travelers. However I hope you will excuse the two or three seconds I am behindhand. Five hundred leagues are not to be accomplished without some trouble, and especially in France where, it seems, it is forbidden to beat the postilions.
The count makes quite an impression on the group of young men, as blase as they profess to be, and the plot thickens as the story continues, but the conversations listed here illustrate what an acute ear Dumas possessed for the interchange of thoughts among upper-class Parisians of his day.

Someone has to introduce the president.
On the final day of the presidential campaign, President Barack Obama, however, didn't bring along an opening act. He brought along two main acts.
Bruce Springsteen. Jay-Z. Theirs wasn't an introduction, it was pop culture moment.
The Boss was spending the entire day with Obama, travelling on Air Force One from Madison, Wisconsin, to Columbus, Ohio, and then to Des Moines, Iowa, where Obama planned a coda for his campaign, a finale where his run for the presidency began five years ago.
Jay-Z boomed his way into Columbus's Nationwide Arena, performing a rendition of his hit 99 Problems with a political twist for a crowd estimated by fire officials at more than 15,000 people. He changed a key R-rated word to make his own political endorsement. "I got 99 problems but Mitt ain't one," he sang.
"They tell the story of what our country is," Obama said of the two performers, "but also of what it should be and what it can be".
Springsteen added a whole new sense of vigour, even giddiness, to the Obama entourage, with many of the president's aides and advisers clearly star-struck by the rocker's presence.
Springsteen, in jeans, black boots, a work shirt, vest and leather jacket, was not wearing the typical Air Force One attire. But the Obama camp has left formality aside; many aides are growing beards through Election Day and ties have been left behind in favour of sweaters for the chilly outdoor events during the last hours of the campaign.
Asked if there was any downside to using celebrity glitz instead of substance to drive voters to the polls in the final days, Obama spokeswoman Jen Psaki laughed. "I think Bruce Springsteen might be offended by you calling him glitzy," she said.
"Bruce Springsteen, and some other celebrities who have been helping us, reach a broad audience that sometimes tune out what's being said by politicians," she said.
As Psaki spoke to reporters at the back of the plane, Obama was up front and on the phone with New Jersey Governor Chris Christie discussing the recovery from Superstorm Sandy.
Christie, who says he has attended more than 100 Springsteen concerts, said Obama then handed the phone to Springsteen, a New Jersey native whose songs often have been tributes to his youth in the state.
Upon landing in Columbus, Springsteen told a reporter that it was his first trip on Air Force One. Grinning, he said, "It was pretty cool". As for New Jersey, he said, "I'm feeling pretty hopeful" that the state's hard-hit shore will recover.
In Madison and Columbus, Springsteen serenaded audiences with renditions of top anthems No Surrender, Promised Land and Land of Hope and Dreams. But he also has a custom-made campaign song named after the Obama motto "Forward" - which he acknowledged was "not the best I've ever written".
"How many things rhyme with Obama?" he asked.
Obama, no doubt, didn't mind.
"I'm going to be fine with Bruce Springsteen on the last day that I'll ever campaign," he said above the din of the crowd.
"That's not a bad way to bring it home. With The Boss. With The Boss."
Other celebrities who support Obama: Will Ferrell, JJ Abrams, Mariah Carey, Ellen Degeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio, Amy Poehler, Aretha Franklin, Gordon Ramsay, Tom Ford, Salma Hayek, Alicia Keys, George Clooney, Ricky Martin, Daniel Craig, Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Bourdain, Steven Spielberg, LeBron James, Nicole Richie, Jerry Springer, David Lynch, Gwen Stefani, Jada Pinkett Smith, Snoop Dogg, Foo Fighters, Bryan Cranston, Jon Hamm, Tom Hanks, Jane Lynch, Zach Galifianakis, Axl Rose, Zooey Deschanel, Morgan Freeman, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Bruce Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Beyoncé, Madonna, Lena Dunham, The National and Chris Rock.
Celebrities who support Romney: KISS frontman Gene Simmons, Melissa Joan Hart, Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman Johnny Van Zant, Cindy Crawford, Adam Sandler, Dave Navarro, Kelsey Grammer, Chuck Norris, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Selleck, Lindsay Lohan, Kid Rock (who wrote Romney anthem Born Free), Clint "Empty Chair" Eastwood, Ted Nugent, Donny & Marie Osmond, Donald Trump and Meatloaf.

Review: 'Sherlock' sequel continues to reinvent
'Game of Shadows' introduces new characters
There's certainly much intrigue in "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," but one thing that isn't a mystery is that everyone involved in the film seems to be genuinely having a jolly good time, despite sinister plots that are happening all around them.
Director Guy Ritchie continues to put his stamp on the Robert Downey Jr. star vehicle by turning "Sherlock" on its ear. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's cerebral sleuth gets a shot of adrenaline (literally in this sequel) with Ritchie behind the camera and Downey putting his own sly spin on the character. Like the 2009 "Sherlock Holmes," this is a big-budget modern action movie, no doubt about it, despite its backdrop of 19th century London. The two worlds collide beautifully, creating a cinematic dream world in which the man on a mission, Holmes, tracks clues in England, France, Germany and Switzerland.
Screenwriters Kieran and Michele Mulroney -- brother and sister-in-law to actor Dermot Mulroney -- pluck from Conan Doyle's story "The Final Problem" for their nemesis to add excitement to the movie franchise. This time Holmes matches wits with a most challenging adversary, Professor James Moriarity (the wonderfully sneering Jared "Mad Men" Harris), an evil genius whose skill set may put to the test those of the usually untouchable Holmes. Readers will also recognize Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock's older brother, played to the eccentric hilt by English treasure, Stephen Fry.
Adding even more fun to "Sherlock Holmes 2" is another new character, Gypsy fortune teller, Sim. It's the first English speaking role for Swedish actress Noomi Rapace, the original "Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." She has her work cut out for her and holds her own partnered with Downey and Jude Law, who returns as Dr. Watson, in many of the high-octane action sequences.
Those looking for a faithful adaptation of "Sherlock Holmes" will believe that Conan Doyle is turning over in his grave watching Downey in a skin tight jumpsuit, dressed in drag and brawling bare handed ? things we'd never imagine the Burberry wearing, pipe-smoking Detective Holmes of lore to do. Yet, that's truly what brings the new Holmes to Technicolor life, re-invented and ratcheted up for contemporary movie audiences.
Downey has said his desire is to play the Holmes character until he's old and gray. After seeing "Shadows," it's definitely not a mystery as to why.

Wesorick gives Meijer Lecture, meets with students
Posted on November 08, 2011
Prior to giving a Frederik Meijer Lecture presentation, Bonnie Wesorick met with nursing students and asked them why they chose to become a healer.
Their answers were poignant and compassionate, characteristics that Wesorick said will benefit them during their careers.
"You are entering health care at this hard time, with the economy and with the challenges health care is facing," Wesorick said on November 7 at the Cook-DeVos Center for Health Sciences. "We're going to need you as young leaders to help change the health care system."
Wesorick is founder and chair emerita of the Clinical Practice Model Resource Center in Grand Rapids. The CPM framework supports the patient, family, community and caregiver to advance the practice of care.
More than 300 people attended Wesorick's evening presentation at the Eberhard Center. The next presentation scheduled for the Meijer Lecture series will also focus on health care. Barbara Pierce Bush will discuss global health care on February 27.
