Boy hospitalized after incident on Disney Fantasy cruise ship
The Orlando Sentinel reports that a 4-year-old boy was airlifted to an Orlando-area children's hospital Saturday afternoon after being pulled from a pool onboard the Disney Fantasy cruise ship. The incident reportedly took place before 3:00 p.m., while the ship was still docked in Port Canaveral prior to it leaving port on a seven-day Caribbean cruise.
The Sentinel reports that the family departed the ship after the child was transported, and the Fantasy left Port Canaveral about 45 minutes later than usual. Disney spokeswoman Rena Langley told the Sentinel, "We're focused on assisting the family. Clearly, our thoughts are with them at this difficult time."
Disney confirmed for MousePlanet that the incident took place before the scheduled lifeboat drill. The pools are open from the time passengers are allowed to embark and remain open, weather permitting, until the mandatory lifeboat drill. There are no lifeguards on duty at any of the pools. There is no update as to the condition of the child at this time.

The new promotion offers discounts of 5 to 30 percent off room-only bookings for most dates June 13 through August 14. You also have the option of adding non-discounted tickets and dining plans.

New Disney Vacation Club incentives
The Disney Vacation Club has announced new incentives for existing members to add on points at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas or the Disney Vacation Club Villas in Aulani. Members who purchase at least 100 points at either of these properties will receive a discount of at least $500 on their contract, and will receive their choice of either four free 5-day Park Hopper tickets for Walt Disney World, or exchange certificates for two Disneyland Resort Premium Annual Passports.
There is too much legal fine print to include here, so interested DVC members can visit the special offer page for more details.

Construction notes
A few interesting items appeared in the construction permit paperwork filed with Orange County last week.
- A "temporary Visa kiosk" is to be installed near the Haunted Mansion queue in Libery Square. There's also a paving project starting in the area.
- Three permits were filed for meet-and-greet areas inside Epcot, including Aurora in the France Pavillion, Donald Duck in the Mexico Pavillion and Goofy in Future World West. Another permit was filed for a Goofy meet-and-greet inside Animal Kingdom.
- Graphics for the Wilderness Explorers interactive game are set to be installed inside Animal Kingdom. The permit lists sign locations as Conservation Station, Conservation Train Station, Restaurantosaurus Dinosaur, Island Merchantile and Yak & Yeti Restaurant. Still no word from Disney when the game will open.
- Disney's Animal Kingdom also pulled a permit for roofing work on the Theater in the Wild. We've speculated that the Festival of the Lion King might temporarily move to this theater when Camp Minnie-Mickey closes to make room for the Avatar expansion, and before the new FotLK venue behind Tusker House is ready to open, so this might be a step in that direction.
- Roof repairs will also be made on the former Mannequin's Dance Palace building in Downtown Disney, suggesting the existing building will be retained for use in the Disney Springs project, and not torn down during the construction.
- A sign permit was issued to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort for installation of new exterior signs and graphics relating to the "Grand Floridian expansion." Disney has yet to official confirm that the new building is a Disney Vacation Club property.
Quick takes…
…Registration for the 2014 Walt Disney World Marathon Weekend (January 9–12, 2014) opens on next Tuesday, April 9, but Disney Vacation Club members can register starting April 3 and receive a discount on selected events during the Member Early Registration period. Visit the special offer page for details and to register.
Events include the Walt Disney World Marathon, Walt Disney World Half Marathon, Walt Disney World 10K, Disney Family Fun Run 5K, Kids Races, Goofy's Race and a Half Challenge, Dopey Challenge, Family Reunion Breakfast, Pasta in the Park Party.
…Walt Disney World visitors now have the opportunity to sample some of the food items created for the new Cars Land at Disney California Adventure park in Anaheim. Marketplace Snacks has introduced two new "cone-coctions" served in a bread cone filled with your choice of Chili Cone Queso or turkey meatballs with provolone cheese and marinara sauce. Both are $9.50, and come with a bag of chips. No word if this is a permanent addition or just another option added during the busy spring break period, but the location has a new menu sign listing the two new offerings.
…This week's Limited Time Magic event is a continuation of the Year of the Ear theme, with a new strawberry design Ear Hat being released at select locations inside Epcot park. If you think this hat looks familiar, you're right - limited quantities were released at the begining of the Flower and Garden Festival.

…Author Ridley Pearson will be at Walt Disney World April 10-11, 2013 to sign copies of his latest Kingdom Keepers book, "Kingdom Keepers VI: Dark Passage."

…Blizzard Beach is also the first of Disney's venues to completely do away with the traditional turnstile in favor of the RFID-activated gates. Jeff noted that the new configuration can be somewhat confusing for people trying to find the exit.

…The Walt Disney World Resort awarded $1.5 million in Helping Kids Shine grants to 59 Florida nonprofit organizations at a ceremony in Orlando last week. Mickey Mouse and Goofy were on hand at the Orlando Repertory Theatre as the grants were announced.

Theater in the Wild is where the Nemo show is now, right? That would be a fairly reduced show, without the floats.
Also, is this new discount for Visa holders a new way of them doing discounts? Where you don't have to do a package, but can?
- By disnut8
Festival of the Wild is where Flights of Wonder is. This is going to kill my husband if that show is removed. Looking for the final resolution.
- By Drince88
I'm not so sure, disnut8 -- I checked the WDW guide here on MP - and it says this on the Nemo stage show section:
The original show in the Theater in the Wild was Journey into Jungle Book, which ran for a year from the park's opening in April 1998. The show roughly told the story of The Jungle Book using human actors in very complex animal puppet suits to play several of the characters. Tarzan Rocks appeared in the theater from July 17, 199, through January 21, 2006, at which time the formerly open-air theater was completely enclosed.
And it doesn't name the theater in the text of the Flights of Wonder show - but it has this picture
http://albums.mouseplanet.com/guideicons/BFB201.jpgAttachment 7406
Which makes me think that's the Caravan Stage and not the Theater in the Wild.
- By davidgra
Drince88 is right -- the Theater In the Wild is home to Finding Nemo: The Musical. The Flights of Wonder show is located at the Caravan Stage.
I like the UV/sun sign. Seems like they could be useful at the entrance to every park, although I guess in Florida you expect pretty maximum UV exposure almost all the time...

Is there a place that I can find out further info on the Photopass+ offerings? Ive seen the term used in trip reports but not have actually seen what it is? Thanks!

Maybe if we could trade out of the first for an early team's (up until Cleveland) 2nd and 4th? Then Minter and Thomas in the second round would make sense and we get a free draft pick.

I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
It's your mock. The way I see it though is if we do take an OL in the first, they have to display great mobility and an exceptional ability to pass block on deep throws. If you really want a RT, there's a few you could snag in the mid to late rounds anyhow.
A passing team taking a right tackle who is not a good pass blocker at 19? Doesn't make much sense.
Minter can't back peddle and turn. If you enjoy watching the linebackers get beat in coverage all the time then he's your guy
fluker and minter back to back...yuckkkkkk

While the iPad is brilliant for games, watching movies and offers passable web-browsing and e-reader experiences, I always thought that one of its cooler applications was as a digital canvas. Apps like ArtRage that replicated the entire experience — from the canvas to tubes of paint and the brush — were fascinating and an early showcase for the platform's capabilities. My kids (and in particular my daughter, who has an artistic bent) were taken by this capability as well and I can't stress how nice it is as a parent to get such a close approximation to the water-color painting capability quickly, without the production and mess that usually results with the real thing. Along with ability to quickly e-mail results. The one thing that threw a bit of water on this experience was the idea of using your finger to represent the paint brush. Once you got past the wow factor of lifelike brush strokes and the ultra-realistic effects of blending different kinds of paint, the finger kind of killed the illusion. A stylus was better, but still not perfect. The demand was obviously there, because when the Sensu Artist Brush for iPad was unveiled on KickStarter, it quickly surpassed its production funding goal.
I had the opportunity to play around with one of these thanks to JetPens.com, a company that carries a wide range of interesting and unusual pens, pencils, stationary and other high quality writing gear. They're now stocking the Sensu Portable Artist Brush & Stylus for Touchscreen Devices. Continue Reading "GeekDad Review: Sensu Portable Artist Brush & Stylus for Touchscreen Devices" »

SPEEDY ORTIZ ::SPORTS [Exploding In Sound] :: In 2013, Western Mass could be the new Brooklyn, and leading bands like Psychic Blood, California X, and Bunny's a Swine is Northampton's Speedy Ortiz, a sludgy, noisy post-grunge guitar-rock outfit led by the brash lyricism of Sadie Dupuis. Top track: "Silver Spring."
RIBS ::RUSSIAN BLOOD [self-released] :: Rock Act of the Year in the 2012 Boston Music Awards, RIBS are as experimental as they are explosive, developing a meticulous sound of arena-charged power-rock that combines sonic theatrics, industrial precision, and sky-high riffage in one post-apocalyptic rock-and-roll time bomb. Top track: "Alarms."

"The danger here is that everybody will forget about the budget and turn now to immigration and guns, and we leave the budget until the next crisis hits," says Bob Bixby, executive director of the Concord Coalition, which advocates balanced budgets. . . .
That kind of bargaining brinksmanship proved unpopular in the past, though, so Republicans may not want to push it too far in the lead-up to the 2014 elections.
"Boy, that's getting to be a tired old game," says Bixby. "At some point they're going to have to deal with these problems."
Bixby's prediction: some sort of summertime "mini grand-bargain" that avoids a disruptive debt crisis, delivers a limited dose of deficit reduction and requires more work later to take a larger swipe at the budget.

Rob Zombie's The Lords of Salem Interview

We talk to filmmaker and music mastermind Rob Zombie about Lords of Salem.

What is there to say that hasn't already been said about Rob Zombie? He's the father of cult horror films such as House of 1000 Corpses, The Devil's Rejects and the Halloween reboot while still managing to continue his iconic music career. We had the chance to sit down with Zombie and chat about his latest venture, The Lords of Salem, and ended up talking about so much more.
Playboy.com: New album, new book and new film. Your fans must be losing their minds. Was your idea to always release all three of them closely together?
Zombie: That was always the plan, yes. Whether that was a good plan, I'm not sure, but it was always the plan.
Playboy.com: I had the pleasure of reading the book Lords of Salem over the weekend. Do you think you should read the book before going to see the film or vice versa?
Zombie: I'd say see the film first. They're very, very different. The book is much more closely related to the original script; the movie changed quite a bit, so I would say see the film first. The film is what came first; the film is more important to me than the book, you know? The book is more important for the fanatics to read, but the film is what matters.
Playboy.com: I'm just going by the book because I wasn't at TIFF last year, but I feel as if there was a major shift between this book and your past films. They have always had that skewed creep factor, but I felt as if this book was eerie in a more psychological sense, which really creeps me out. Is there something that prompted this change?
Zombie: That's the vibe of the film also. I tried to make a very different movie. It's a very slow sort of psychological film. I wouldn't even know if I'd totally classify it as a horror movie, but I guess it is. It's more of a psychological terror.
Playboy.com: Could you talk a bit about the cinematography? From what I've seen from the stills and trailer it looks incredible.
Zombie: I wanted to do something very different with the cinematography on this film. I've always been a really big fan of gritty handheld you-are-there photography, but I don't always want to do the same thing all of the time, so for this film I thought the subject matter wanted a different approach and that approach was very slow, wide open camera work. And all of the shots are very symmetrical, very composed; there is no unmotivated camerawork. A lot of the other movies had the cameras moving around all over the place with no real motivation, whereas in this film, if I didn't need the camera to move, I didn't move it. So it plays a lot more still. A lot of times when you move the camera around it tends to be very much about the people because you're showing close-ups and you're in people's faces, but this was so much about the environment also that it was very wide open and still. I don't think you could really creep people out if the camera is jumping around.
Playboy.com: What films were you watching while you were shooting this?
Zombie: Not while I was shooting, but obviously before I started I sat down with my cinematographer and we watched a bunch of movies. There's really no other way to convey what you're thinking to another person about a movie that doesn't exist yet. But honestly there wasn't really a lot of movies that we could find that had the same feeling I wanted. It has a very European sensibility, this slow style approach; a lot of the Polanski films are like that, the Argento movies are like that. And Stanley Kubrick movies are definitely like that, that very slow camera work with the very composed shots that looks like every single tiny little thing is there for a reason, which is what I was trying to do, which is hard on a short shooting schedule. That's the most complicated way of shooting something. We're constantly at war with each other.
Playboy.com: Your wife is a knockout. Was this role written with her in mind?
Zombie: It was. I had actually started writing this about five years ago. I think back then we were doing a radio show together. I always had her in mind. Most of the people in the movie I had in mind when I was writing it, actually. Some people changed, but for the most part it stayed.
Playboy.com: I'm sure bands send you demos all the time. What's the weirdest or most elaborate demo you've been sent?
Zombie: I don't listen to anything. If somebody hands me a demo or script I won't even touch it. [laughs] Mostly because of the fact that in six months someone is going to say, "Hey man, you stole that from me!" So when people say, "read my script" I just say, "Nooo thanks!" because the next thing I'll be hearing is your lawyer calling saying it was all your idea. It's unfortunate that I can't, but in a sue-crazy society you can't take that chance.
Playboy.com: How do you go about tackling songwriting while you're also writing films?
Zombie: I don't do them at the same time, obviously, but it's not easy jumping from one thing to another. With this film it was difficult because I shot the film, then I went on tour, I came back, we edited the film, went back on tour again, came back and finished the movie, writing, then went to the studio to make an album, came out of that. I was actually finalizing the color timing on the film when I was in Austria on tour, so it gets kind of crazy but it's the only way to get it done. In a perfect world you'd have all day long, but it never seems to work that way.
Playboy.com: I'm really anxious to hear your new album; anything I've heard so far is good. You've said that it will make both White Zombie and Rob Zombie fans happy. What sets this record apart?
Zombie: It's hard to say, who knows! Maybe it will make nobody happy. Maybe it will make both sets of fans unhappy, I don't know. [laughs] I didn't have that in mind when I was making it; I never have anything like that in mind when I'm creating, but when I played it for a few people who had been around for a long time that was their response, that it sounded like the perfect mesh of both worlds. It was never something I set out to do, but I suppose there's somewhere where it's all in my mind. I guess part of it is that back in the days with White Zombie we were an up-and-coming band, you're not really thinking about writing hit songs. You don't think about that stuff because you're just trying to be a band. You're doing whatever crazy thing that comes into your head. Plus you're young so you don't think about that stuff. And I think now, MTV doesn't really play music and radio is sort of changed and everything is on the internet and you don't really sell records the way you used to; as much as that has destroyed a certain aspect of the music business, which it surely has, it has also opened up a bit of freedom because you don't think of things the way you used to. It doesn't matter how spectacular your record is, you're not going to sell three million copies anymore because it just doesn't happen. So I guess for that reason you just don't think about it. It's kind of like the freedom of making a movie, the same thing as Lords of Salem. It was a fairly inexpensive movie shot on a quick schedule; you don't have to try to make a movie that's going to appeal to everybody. If you're spending a hundred million dollars on all this, you have to come up with a movie that everyone is going to love, from little kids to grandparents. But what's nice about doing it like this is you can be more specific with what you're doing and it's okay that it's weird and a lot of people don't get it. It doesn't fucking matter, you know?
Playboy.com: I'm kind of obsessed with the whole internet changing music thing. I hear sometimes that this new form of social interaction with fans makes them much more present in your life.
Zombie: People are more present in your life, but I think sometimes that you're more present in their lives than they are in yours. I find that sometimes people, if you have a Facebook page or whatever, people will write a comment on something and they just assume that—in a thread with a thousand other comments—that you saw it. And since you didn't respond to their specific comment, you're a fucking asshole. They don't think. They think, "Oh well I put it there, he's just ignoring me!" as opposed to "How the fuck would he see this comment amongst a thousand others." So it has created this weird thing. And as far as writing, it's no insult to the fans, but I don't think on any level that you can let your fans dictate what you do. Because it's always your job to give the fans what's next and what they didn't think about But what I've found over the years and what I've found more now is that there's this funny dynamic that's happened on every record I've ever done and every movie I've ever done: as soon as something is old, everyone loves it and as soon as something is new, everybody hates it. Everything is like, "why the new record is not as good as the last record and why that record wasn't as good as the one before. And why the new movie isn't as good as the old movie until the new movie is not the new movie but now the old movie and now we love it and we don't like the new…" you know, it just never ends! [laughs] I think people forget. Of course you think that record is better, you've had that record for five years, you know every song! You've had this record for the past five minutes. It's funny, 25 years ago that used to freak me out, but now I see that it's such a predictable pattern, probably a mathematical equation that we can chalk it all up to.
Playboy.com: So at the end of April when all of your projects have been released, what will you be doing?
Zombie: I don't know, a lot of promoting I guess! I don't really get any time [off]. I hit the road in June for serious touring. I don't have to start any touring till then, so probably from April to June will be a lot of promoting and doing stuff.
Playboy.com: I read that you may be doing something for Chris Hardwick's Nerdist channel. Is that ever going to come to light?
Zombie: Probably not, maybe another time. That was just one of those things where I talked to Chris about it—I've known Chris for a million years—I wanted to do it, but I have this bad habit of saying yes to everything because I think I have time to do it all, but I don't at the moment. The next thing I'm working on is my next film called the Broad Street Bullies, and it's a hockey film about the Philadelphia Flyers. I'm actually going to Philly tomorrow to not start shooting or anything, but to research and write some stuff about it.
Playboy.com: That sounds like a fun thing to research.
Zombie: Yeah, it's very cool, it's going to be a very different movie.

I am trying to nurture along my garden at the same time as my bees. The garden is not doing too well. There have been many pests(bugs/insects) that have been eating the leaves of my plants(pumpkin, rhubarb, cauliflower, cabbage, beans). I now that I am a beekeeper I am really hesitant to use any sort of "bad" insect killer, I have also always taken pride in not adding anything to my garden(chemical wise) except water and love. Do any of you know if there is a product "out there" that kills unwanted pests and doesn't affect bees and also is considered organic?
By the way- I did a search on the site and the rest of the web already, so I apologize if this thread has already been started elsewhere. Thanks, juzzerbee.

The Texas Rush Soccer Club Recreational players & families ventured down in large numbers to watch the Houston Dynamo vs. LA Galaxy.
The Texas Rush had 400 Recreational & Competitive players and their families get involved with the Houston Dynamo on Sunday, October 23, 2011 at Robertson Stadium. Players lined up on the field to meet and greet the teams in the rally tunnel in front of 30,000 people to watch the final home game at Robertson Stadium (University of Houston). Houston Dynamo won 3-1 in front of the biggest home attendance of the season.
"A once in a lifetime opportunity to greet the players as they take the pitch in front of the biggest crowd of the season at Robertson Stadium. Parents and Rush players lined up really early to get a chance to participate in the rally tunnel. It was quite an exciting moment and something that the people who participated will never forget. I'm really happy for those who got to experience this, and hopefully we can do this again in the near future. Everyone did a great job by supporting the club and wearing their Rush blue shirts, we looked like a sea of BLUE on the field. If you have a friend who doesn't play for RUSH, please invite them out to the Spring season in one of our 3 locations (Conroe, The Woodlands and Spring) and we'll look to provide this opportunity once again in the near future." Johanna Sanchez, Recreational Administrator, Texas Rush Soccer Club.

Warding off worry… B's blue liner returns
|12.09.08 at 3:08 pm ET
While he didn't take part in any contact drills on Tuesday, Bruins defenseman Aaron Ward felt good about returning to the ice after a left leg injury that has forced him to miss the last three games.
"That's the approach now," Ward said before joining the team on its sojourn to Washington for Wednesday's game against the Capitals. "Only have taken seven days off, I can't have lost a whole lot. To touch a puck and to play around with it rather than sit out three weeks and miss it, that's why I'm taking the road trip, hopefully start skating a little bit more aggressively and hopefully go from there. But there doesn't seem to be much of a need right now. I can take my time.
"It's just the pace of the game, getting your head up and playing with the puck, especially this team, so much more demanded from a defenseman in terms of putting the puck in the right place and reading the play and understand where you're supposed to be. That's the essential part of it all," he said.
While Ward is having fun watching the team continue to roll along, there is some tension knowing that other younger players are coming up and could make an even better impression.
"It's a double-edged sword," Ward said. "You don't want to be supplanted from where you feel where you might add to the team."
One of those younger players is Vladimir Sobotka, who was recalled on an emergency basis following Monday's game after Stephane Yelle collided with a linesman and suffered a minor rib injury.
"I was on the first line in Providence, playing on the power play some," Sobotka explained Tuesday. "Here I'll be on the fourth line. I admit I'll be a little nervous before the game (on Wednesday)."
As for Ward, he said he doesn't expect to return on Wednesday.
If I were a wagering man, I'd say no. But again, (Wednesday) is another step in the recovery process," Ward said.
The always artful Ward also made the following observation about Sean Avery's pending punishment from the NFL for his untoward remarks about a former girlfriend and his brotherhood of NHL skaters.
"How happy Plaxico Burress is that Avery shot his mouth off and now no one knows who Plaxico is," Ward said.
And props to Matt Kalman of The Bruins Blog, who didn't miss a beat responding, "Maybe in the hockey world, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the world (does)."
Don't have to look very far for confirmation of that, Matt.

Paige Unveils Summer Reading Pilot Program
Filling the Information Gap Among Latino Parents
Close-Up: No Child Left BehindCharter School Guidance
On the Horizon
Questions Parents Ask About Schools
Paige Unveils Summer Reading Pilot Program
U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige on March 20 joined Georgia Gov. Sonny Perdue, Atlanta Public Schools Superintendent Beverly Hall, students, educators and other community partners to kick off the No Child Left Behind Summer Reading Achievers program for students in Atlanta Public Schools.
The new program encourages school children in grades K-8 to read actively during the summer months and avoid the loss of reading skills that often occurs during summer vacation. If successful, the program will expand next year to schools nationwide.
"Reading is the one skill upon which all others depend and making sure that every child in our schools learns to read is a mission of the president's and mine," Secretary Paige said.
The Atlanta Public School system was chosen as the pilot site because the schools have posted gains over the past several years. These improvements include a significant increase in the percentage of fourth-graders meeting or exceeding the standard in reading as measured by the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test.
To participate in the program, students will be expected to read 10 age-appropriate books (about one a week) during the summer. Students will be required to describe briefly the books they have read by completing a simple form. Program participants will receive a certificate signed by Secretary Paige and Superintendent Hall.
Target stores, Scholastic, Inc., the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta and the Atlanta Metro Chamber of Commerce are among a host of partners in the Atlanta region supporting the reading campaign.

Filling the Information Gap Among Latino Parents
By Sara Martinez Tucker
As the Hispanic Scholarship Fund's outreach team travels across the country providing workshops on navigating the college process to inspire Latino students to go to college, we are witnessing a remarkable transformation in the Latino community.
Whether it's on a weekend morning or weekday evening, parents and students are attending our bilingual workshops in large numbers, eager to receive information about the sometimes daunting process of getting into and paying for college. Our town hall meetings and Steps for Success Saturday workshops empower Latino families to set an expectation that their children will attend and graduate from college. At the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF), we do not want our parents to ask if their children will go to college, but when.
|"Make no mistake that it will take time, creativity and constant attention by government and university officials to pursue effective race-neutral policies. However, as Americans, we owe it to our heritage and to our children to meet those challenges head on, rather than looking for shortcuts that divide us by race and betray the nation's fundamental principles."
Secretary Paige, in his remarks on the March 28, 2003, release of the report Race-Neutral Alternatives in Postsecondary Education: Innovative Approaches to Diversity.
In 1996, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund adopted the mission of doubling the rate of Latinos earning their college degrees to18 percent by 2010. And, as the No Child Left Behind Act holds our schools accountable for delivering quality education for all of America's children, our Partnership for Excellence in Latino Higher Education proposal, which was funded by the U.S. Department of Education, seeks to increase parental involvement in forming their child's educational destiny.
Research has shown that parental involvement plays a key role in children's academic achievement and that an effective method for engaging Latino parents is to provide them with the information and tools necessary for them to play an active role in their children's education. Although an array of educational materials exists, many are not user friendly, culturally appropriate, or distributed and used effectively.
Through the feedback we've gathered from the more than 5,000 parents and students HSF has served in the last year through its workshops, we are finding a significant difference in the level of knowledge about higher education among students and their parents. As expected, Latino students are more familiar with the topics discussed than their parents. In addition, we are reassured of the increasing need to provide meaningful information in a way that respects the values of the Latino family and its high regard for education, while acknowledging the language, cultural and generational differences that may impact how parents receive, understand and process information.
These dynamics have led to an information gap between Latino parents' education aspirations for their children and their children's academic achievement, due in significant part to the failure to integrate Latino families into the educational process, as well as a lack of familiarity with the U.S. education system among immigrant families. Coupled with the booming Latino population and consistently low education attainment rates in the Latino community, we know that creating a pipeline of college-ready Latino students will require a broader approach.
For almost 30 years, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund has been guided by a student-centric, solutions-oriented model, providing financial resources directly to our students to make their dreams to participate in higher education a reality. Now, we are complementing this strategy by expanding our model and playing a role in filling the information gap among Latino parents.
To achieve our mission, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund and its sister organization, the Hispanic Scholarship Fund Institute, will work collaboratively to assess how and what is being communicated, develop materials and points of delivery that are culturally relevant, and effectively deliver information to Latino parents in a way that will empower them to ensure their children's success-in order to create a national infrastructure that is sustainable over time.
Sara Martinez Tucker is president of the Hispanic Scholarship Fund, the nation's leading organization supporting higher education for Hispanics. During its 27-year history, HSF has awarded nearly 54,000 scholarships worth more than $89 million.
Close-Up On: No Child Left Behind: Charter School Guidance
On March 25, the U.S. Department of Education issued guidance on the impact of the new Title I requirements on charter schools. The 12-page document provides general information on how the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) impacts charter schools, including details on accountability requirements; public school choice; supplemental educational services; and teacher and paraprofessional qualifications. The department also will issue soon new guidance on the Public Charter Schools Grant Program, which is provided for under Title V of the law promoting informed parental choice and innovative programs.
Some of the questions the guidance answers are
There are now 2,695 charter schools in 36 states and the District of Columbia, a huge expansion from the first one that opened just a decade ago.
Source: Center for Education Reform, National Charter School Directory, 2003.
- How does the new law define a highly qualified charter school teacher?
- Are charter schools required to make adequate yearly progress like other public schools?
- Must parents be notified if a charter school is identified as in need of improvement?
Charter schools operate with a contractor charterfrom a public agency, according to individual state charter laws. They are created by groups of parents, teachers, school administrators and others who want to provide educational alternatives. They are free of cost to parents and open to all students, but exempted from most statutory and regulatory requirements in exchange for performance-based accountability. They must meet standards set forth in their charters for students and the school as a whole, or else the chartering agency can close the school.
Research suggests that charter schools can boost performance particularly among disadvantaged children.

The enumerator was instructed to report for each owner-occupied dwelling unit the estimated current market value of the home and, if nonfarm, its estimated monthly rental value; for each tenant-occupied unit, the monthly contract rent or, if no cash rent was paid, the estimated monthly rental value based on rents for similar dwelling units in the neighborhood; and far each vacant unit, the rent asked or the estimated rental value. The rental reported for a vacant seasonal dwelling unit represents the actual or estimated monthly amount charged for the unit during the portion of the year it is generally occupied. Average and median values and rents are presented for each census tract. The median value or rent may be defined as that value or rent which divides the whole number of dwelling units into two equal groups, one having values or rents higher than the median, and one having lower.

Vote Yes on Prop 37
Original post made by Susan Sasek, Another Pleasanton neighborhood, on Oct 28, 2012
I am dismayed to see that The Pleasanton Weekly recommendation is to vote no on Prop 37. Even more distressing is the reasoning: It is too expensive to relabel food.
I am not sure how anyone who has been in a grocery store in the last 10 years can put forth that claim!
When oat bran was found to have a benefit every product that had even a minute trace of oats changed their label to make sure consumers knew this fact. When trans fats were found to be detrimental every food changed their label to make sure that consumers knew they were trans fat free, even foods that never had trans fats changed their labels. When consumers began looking into gluten, products changed their labels to make sure consumers were aware they were gluten free. I have even seen gluten free on a package of chicken breasts.
If GMO foods had any benefit at all to human health or if consumers were scrambling to buy GMO food, you can bet that every product would be relabeling to make sure we knew that they indeed now had GMO corn or GMO wheat. So let us put this blatant lie to the side.
What do we know about GMO and how it affects human health? Very little. There has never been a well-constructed scientific study looking into this. What wee do know is that GMO foods are prevalent in our food supply and we are not being told. There is an insecticide engineered into the seed of crops that explodes the stomach of insects that eat the crop. Our population is plagued with leaky gut and IBS. Is there a correlation? We do not know. No one is studying this. These foods are being feed to our livestock and our population with no study telling us they are safe for us to eat!
Most of Europe has banned GMO's and these countries, because of our GMO's , are banning many of our exports. Why are the companies able to tell other countries but not their own, that there are GMO's in their products? These countries demand it, that is why! How will these bans affect our economy and food supplies worldwide in the future? I do not know.
I am voting YES to demand a right to know what we are eating. Until GMO's are proven safe for consumption, I am buying organic. I hope you will join me.

Well Susan, I cannot just sit by and let your post stand without comment. Labels proposed by Prop 37 would be laughable. There are 25 GM crops approved for commercial production. Nearly all vegetable oil sold in the U.S. is GM. Soybeans-95%, Corn-86%, Cotton-93% and Sugar Beets 95%. This list goes on.
So anything fried or sweetened is GM. All sauces containing oil or corn starch are GM.
This proposition is just plain silly.

In response to the two posters, 'Susan' and 'mooseturd':
Well Susan, I too cannot just sit by and let this post stand without comment. Especially when comments come from someone identifying themselves as a 'mooseturd'. I'm not really sure I understand someone using that moniker to identify who they are, unless of course mooseturd actually represents their sub-conscious statement regarding their own comments.
Susan, I agree with your comments. The industry should not be complaining so bitterly about this. Susan, your are right. At the slightest hint of the possibility of twisting a fact around to take advantage of a sales opportunity, companies do in fact update their labeling all the time. Almost at a whim. And they seem to do so without 'Giant Price Increases' and threats of devastation to the poor helpless farmer.
But on the other hand Susan, 'mooseturd' is right. Modified crops are becoming so prevalent in the basic foodstuffs that we consume each and every day, that it will be hard to avoid. But I don't agree with the implied conclusion. From a 'mooseturd' perspective, it's already out there, so just accept it and move on. 'Mooseturd', sounds a little overwhelmed by this and a bit defeatist to me. But to be fair, this is only my conclusion of 'mooseturd' comments.
I agree that knowing which of the grocery items offered for sale contain man made genetic modifications. One needs to be able to compare them with those that do not. This should be a simple right of the consumer to know what they are purchasing. And this must be known before the purchase. These purchasing decisions must be up to the individual, and not just left in the hands of the GMO industry.
And you are also right Susan, that we do not yet know the full and complete effects of the results of man made genetically modified foods. And I don't think we will know this for years to come. Here is an example. In the 1950's doctors started advising women to stop breast feeding their babies and to start using the newly developed industry product, 'Formula'. Women were told that 'Formula' was superior to breast milk and healthier for their babies. Everyone did this. Everyone. Only it wasn't true. It was not until the late 1990's that we finally uncovered the fact that using 'Formula' deprived the baby from receiving complete nutrients and antibody protections from the mother. These subtle but health necessary components of breast milk are not present in 'Formula'. Not even today.
Perhaps in the future, we may fully understand all of the qualities that naturally grown foods contain. Then perhaps we'll know that these qualities are missing from man made GMO foods. Or we'll know that GMO foods are just fine. But until that time, foods with GMO content should be identified on the label.
I'm not over the top radical about this, but I do not believe that Monsanto nor any other Crop Seed corporation knows all there is to know about the human body and its nutrient requirements. Especially the nutrient subtleties in food that not only sustain our lives, but help advance the species. I don't really believe that 'They' have my best interest at heart.
So 'mooseturd', I see no harm to, and no additional costs to the industry. They shoould continue to do something they are already doing, labeling their products. GMO content should go right up their with the amount of Salt, Fats and Sugars that are already on that label.

Well I certainly can't this one out on the fence either.
In the never ending saga of trying to feed our growing world that has been plagued by global warming, drought, insect infestations, ground water pollution and an ever so increasing overly litigious nature of the citizenry, our beloved scientists have created strains of grain, fruit and vegetables that have the ability to grow in these adverse conditions. What began decades ago when the first hybrid grain strands (triticale in particular) were created, crop yields have increased almost threefold, their resistance to disease, drought and long term storage have increased.
So in reality,"Susan", the world actually is and has been scrambling for a means to increase grain production to feed our growing population for the better part of over 100 years. Your statement that the EU is banning GMO based foods is also false. The trade alone from Northern Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe would be brought to a standstill if any ban on genetically modified foodstuffs were to be put in place simply because almost ALL of their crops have undergone some form of either hybridization or genetic modification.
My final reason for opposing this measure stems from what one of its own authors, James Wheaton, a Trial Lawyer in Oakland who has made a history of (and a very lucrative one to the tune of over $12M) in shakedown and frivolous lawsuits aimed almost primarily at small businesses, farms and agro business concerns. Passage of Prop 37 opens he doors to predatory trial lawyers who spare no expense to milk businesses into compliance, putting thousands out of work, driving up food costs and creating just another special place in hell for trial lawyers.
When you follow the $$$ trail and the vague wording in this proposition something begins to smell foul and very suspicious.
I urge all concerned citizens to vote NO on Prop 37.

Sorry you don't like my handle, R. Tompson. I don't think your name is so neat either.
The people behind Prop.37 view labeling as a first step. They want to reduce or eliminate the consumption of GMO food. This morning's Wall Street Journal has an opinion piece by Henry I. Miller, founding Director of FDA's Office of Biotechnology. In his column, he points out that 200-300 million children suffer from vitamin A deficiency. Every year half a million become blind. These deaths and illnesses could be prevented by the use of GMO rice that was developed more than 20 years ago. This rice has genes that produce beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A. It's not used because policies like Prop. 37. LET THE CHILDREN DIE.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Trial ICATUS code 02Structure Notes
This Major Division is divided into the following Divisions:
Explanatory note
- All activities performed in relation to the primary production of goods by households whether for market or for own final use. A person's activity is classified as primary production of goods if it is performed in relation to the economic activities of agriculture, hunting, forestry, fishing, mining or quarrying
- Activities performed in relation to collecting, distributing and storing of water
- Participation in meetings/training and studies directly related to one's work in primary production activities
- Activities performed in relation to acquiring inputs/supplies for work and disposing of outputs
- Activities related to seeking employment and the setting up of a business
- Travel to and from the workplace
Note: In these divisions of activities it is assumed that working time arrangements are generally more informal or flexible compared to those in the formal sector. Thus, this major division does not include specific divisions for short breaks and for lunch breaks. Activities associated with such breaks from work are classified in the corresponding class; for example, eating snack/meals is classified under 15121- Eating meals/snack.

text: Greetings all fellow beekeepers out there. I have a few questions regarding the use of liquid smoke in haulting the robbing process. I was wondering what the difference was between regular liquid smoke found in the grocery store and liquid BEE smoke marketed by retailers. Also, the book where i found this possible solution states just to spray the entrance and the robbing will hault instantly, well, how much am I supposed to spray? Finally it says to dilute the concentrate, would I also need to dilute the standard liquid smoke if I decided to go that route and to what degree? Thanks for taking the time to read!!!

Easter Bunny Breads RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
4 2 2
These cute bunny breads are a must at our house during the Easter season. Kids of all ages love the chocolate egg surprise found inside. —Molly Hurd, Newcastle, Washington
Featured In: 14 Easter Bunny-Shaped Recipes
- 2 packages (1/4 ounce each) active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5-1/2 to 6-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 16 small milk chocolate eggs
- 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon water
- 1 drop red food coloring
- In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add milk, sugar, oil, egg, salt and 4 cups flour. Beat on medium speed 3 minutes; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400°. Punch dough down. For each bunny, shape a 3-in. ball for the body; press a chocolate egg into each ball. Shape dough around egg so it is completely covered. For each head, shape a 2-in. ball; press a chocolate egg into each. Shape dough around egg so it is completely covered. Add a 1-in. ball for the tail and two 2x3/4-in. pieces for the ears.
- Place bunnies 2 in. apart on greased baking sheets. Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Carefully remove from pans to wire racks to cool.
- For icing, in a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar and water; tint pink with red food coloring. With a small new paintbrush, paint a nose and whiskers on each bunny. Yield: 8 servings.

"This was easy and fun. But it did not taste good. I would make these again but more as a decoration than a food. I don't know if it was my inexperience with my new dough hook and yeast breads or just that I was expecting a lite texture but that bread was heavy, like a bagel."
