Reviews of this property
Our summer looking for the longer, we have chosen the family apartment in Sopot, and were enthusiastic about having Equipment, Service and weather very much! This was a great holiday in Sopot! The sea is 10 minutes walk through the Polnochny Park. All malls close as Bedronka, Lidl.
The apartment features such as IKEA Still.
From negaitve moments: the fridge was completely "frozen", but "it does not hurt." We have it even cleared. Nevertheless, everything was great !!!
Always recommend Wimdu!
Unseren Sommerurlaub nach den längere suchen, haben wir die Familien-Appartement in Sopot gewählt, und waren mit Ausstatung, Service und Wetter sehr begeistern! Das war einen schönen Urlaub in Sopot! Das Meer in 10 Minuten durch den Polnochny Park laufen. Alle Laden in der nahe wie Bedronka, Lidl.
Die Wohnung Ausstattung wie IKEA Still.
Aus negaitve Momente: der Kühlschrank war komplett "eingefroren", aber "es tut nicht weh". Wir haben er selbst geräumt. Trotzdem alles prima!!!
Immer Wimdu empfehlen!
The apartment was perfect for 4 people. We had a supermarket next door to the train station and about 2 kms from Monte Casino Street for a night out. The garage a bit small for a large minivan. The house was all appliances. Overall we put a note of 8 out of 10. It met our expectations. Poland has surprised us as a country, where there are many things to see. We recommend it.
El apartamento para 4 personas fue perfecto. Teníamos un supermercado al lado, la estación de tren y a unos 2 kms de la calle Monte Casino para salir de noche. La plaza de garaje un poco pequeña para un monovolumen grande. En la casa había todo tipo de electrodomésticos. En general ponemos una nota de 8 sobre 10. Se cumplieron nuestras expectativas. Nos ha sorprendido Polonia como país, donde hay muchas cosas que ver. Lo recomendamos.

nice room, nice neighbours.
Maybe one thing minus -> no shower.
Nice apartment in sopot center. Close to the beach. Clean and tidy.
Fin leilighet i sopot sentrum. Nært stranden. Rent og ryddig.
Dear Sirs
The apartment had a great central location, it was everything we needed available, and it was very clean.
However, a major drawback was the garbage disposal, which has picked up on Friday morning at 4:00 clock on Saturday at 6 clock and on Sunday at 6.00 clock in front of our apartment the trash.
Yours sincerely
Barbara Mächtle-Brown
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren
Das Apartment hatte eine super günstige Lage, es war alles was wir brauchten vorhanden und es war sehr sauber.
Ein großer Nachteil war jedoch die Müllabfuhr, die am Freitag Morgen um 4.00 Uhr am Samstag um 6 Uhr und am Sonntag um 6.00 Uhr vor unserem Apartment den Müll abgeholt hat.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Spacious 3 bedroom apartment with good standard. A bit worn from some previous guests, but overall nice. Well equipped kitchen for both cocking and dining. Location is ok, but it is between railway and road so a bit more noice then average. Very short walk to the start of main pedestrian street thru the center of Sopot leading to the pier. Approx. 10 minute walk to the beach.

text: North American dance teams look really strong. Think Crone & Poirer will make top 5 at Worlds this year. If V&M come back for the rest of the season, it will be a real battle for that third spot on the world team. Same for US with Samuelson & Bates likely out this season, there will be a battle for that third spot. We haven't seen the Hubbells yet - they dance next week in China. Kerrs are always fun and should medal at Euros. Faella & Scali yet to compete - they will be in China as well along with Pechalat & Bourzat, Hoffman & Zavozin and Bobrova/Soloviev. Should be quite competitive.

Police say no drunk drivers were uncovered through a month of stepped-up checkstops around the holiday season. But that doesn't mean there weren't any out there — officers on patrol nabbed 11 impaired drivers during the same period.
The Festive Spirits enforcement campaign, which ran from Dec. 5 through Jan. 1, saw Brandon police officers conduct a number of high-profile checkstops. In total, they screened 3,265 vehicles.
The vast majority of those drivers were obeying all the rules. Police say they issued 45 tickets under the Highway Traffic Act during the recent checkstops — 12 for unregistered vehicles, 11 for driver licence violations, five for distracted driving and 17 various other tickets. They also issued one citation for open liquor.
In 2012, during the same program, Brandon police checked 3,169 vehicles and also found no drunk drivers. However, they've been getting a little stricter with the rest of the ticket book — in 2012, they handed out just 27 tickets, while only 15 were issued in 2011.

Bills that would provide for mental health care, veterans care and invasive species research are advancing in the Hawaii legislature.
A Senate committee Wednesday pushed forward dozens of bills on a range of issues. They will next go to the Senate floor for a vote.
Among the highlights are bills aimed at preparing Hawaii residents for the costs of aging and a bill that would increase the amount of affordable housing in the state.
Another bill would make kindergarten mandatory for five-year-old children in Hawaii. Other bills would try to attract investment in such Hawaii industries as film, technology, geriatric research. Under another, Hawaii would move its public safety facilities to a central place, where they would be less vulnerable to storms.

Papers and Presentations, Mathematics and Science Initiative
Thank you Susan (Susan Sclafani, Counselor to the Secretary, U.S. Department of Education) for that gracious introduction. I wish to thank each and every member of the audience for your heartfelt expressions of condolence to the families of the Columbia astronauts and to the NASA family. In these difficult times, your support means a great deal to the men and women of our proud agency.
When we accepted your generous invitation to speak at this distinguished event, never for a moment did I think we would be meeting today under such sad circumstances, with our hearts united in grief.
Indeed, people of all races, religions and nationalities have gathered this week in spirit to mourn seven fallen heroes. And the members of the NASA family sincerely appreciate your expressions of condolence.
Tuesday, I was in Houston to participate in the memorial service in honor of the astronauts. President Bush, a man of great faith, comforted the astronauts' families and the entire Nation with his moving tribute to the Columbia crew.
For the past six days we have been working nonstop to find out what caused Saturday's terrible accident. And when we find these answers, and we will, we will correct the problems and do our best to assure that this never happens again. As Administrator Sean O'Keefe has said, we owe this to the brave families of the astronauts and the American people. And we will make good on this solemn pledge.
As you can expect from the dedicated public servants who work for NASA--our scientists, engineers, safety and support people--we are conducting our work with tremendous professionalism and respect for the enormity of our duty.
We don't know when our efforts will be completed, but you can be assured that we will strive unceasingly to honor the legacy of the brave Columbia astronauts.
We will honor their legacy by continuing to pursue our mission goals of understanding and protecting our home planet, exploring the Universe and searching for life, and inspiring the next generation of explorers.
It's that next generation of explorers that I wish to speak about this morning.
We believe that because of the space program's unique hold on the imaginations of the young and the young at heart, we have a special opportunity to inspire and motivate our youth to explore the wonders of math and science, and to aspire to be scientists, engineers, mathematicians and astronauts when they grow up.
To all the educators, scientists, mathematicians, foundations and business leaders with us today who have dedicated their best efforts to improve the mathematical literacy of our Nation's youth, I pledge you this: Even as we intensely focus on finding the cause of Saturday's accident, correcting any problems that we find, and ensuring this never happens again, NASA will also continue our ongoing work to promote math and science education in America.
And working together, we will help raise the level of student mathematic achievement, ensuring that the next generation of explorers will be well prepared and motivated to take on the challenges and opportunities of the century that are just starting to unfold.
In the previous panel, Congressman Ehlers, Tom Loveless, Bill Schmidt and Craig Barrett did an excellent job in laying out the case for improving student mathematics achievement levels. And believe me, we keenly understand how important this education priority is to NASA's ability to undertake our ambitious aeronautics and space research and exploration missions in the future and to ensure safety of flight.
Indeed, our mission goals of understanding and protecting our home planet and exploring the Universe and searching for life will not be carried out if we don't have qualified, well trained people to do it.
Today, as your previous speakers have noted, America has a serious shortage of young people entering the fields of mathematics and science. The U.S. Commission on National Security for the 21st Century--better known as the Hart-Rudman Commission--had this to say on the subject:
"The harsh fact is that the U.S. need for the highest quality human capital in science, mathematics, and engineering is not being met. Given the requirements of advanced 21st century economies, it is not good enough that we produce a sufficient elite corps of science, math, and engineering professionals. We must raise levels of math, science, and technology literacy throughout society."
Now, while those in this audience know that employment opportunities in science and engineering are expected to increase at a rate almost three times greater than for all other occupations through this decade, enrollment in science and engineering college courses, has been in decline. Our best and brightest are being drawn into other professions.
And as many of you know all too well, the best time in life to mold the scientists and mathematicians of the future is when they are young. Yet somehow we are not doing as good a job as we should in nurturing the tremendous natural inquisitiveness that young children have about math and science concepts and the natural world.
At NASA we believe we have a unique ability to reach many of these budding young students, and excite them and their parents about the possibility of engaging in scientific careers.
Tuesday, at the memorial for the astronauts in Houston, Administrator O'Keefe recalled the tremendous enthusiasm that the students from Fowler High School in Syracuse, New York had about their ant colony experiment onboard Columbia. And Mr. O'Keefe noted that this was of 11 Shuttle experiments provided by students throughout America and the world.
As you can imagine, we are doing our best on a number of fronts under the leadership of our new Associate Administrator for Education, Dr. Adena Williams Loston, to attract young students with diverse interests, cultural backgrounds, ethnicity and gender to the study of science, technology, engineering and math.
We do so in a number of ways. We provide educators with curriculum support materials that we hope will not only assist them in conveying the math and science concepts they are teaching, but will also serve to spark students' interest and imagination as we demonstrate how these concepts are applied in our Nation's space program.
We produce technology-based teaching tools and strategies that are grounded in or derived from NASA's missions.
We support professional development of practicing teachers and pre-service teachers.
We send our astronauts, scientists and engineers to visit schools to talk about career opportunities in science and engineering fields.
We offer summer job opportunities and scholarships for promising college students.
And we provide opportunities for older students and faculty such as the ones at Fowler High School in Syracuse to participate in NASA research.
We also plan to continue our Educator Astronaut program.
Last April, Administrator O'Keefe announced that NASA was going to make good on its promise to send an astronaut with an educational background to space--a person who will be fully qualified to participate in mission activities onboard the Space Shuttle and International Space Station, and who will also be uniquely able to take our children...and by extension the rest of us...on an incredible journey of learning from Earth orbit.
Our first Educator Astronaut, is Barbara Morgan. Barbara's an accomplished second and third grade teacher from McCall, Idaho, who for the last four years has been a terrific astronaut as well. Barbara wanted to be with us today, but due to the events of the week, she had to remain in Houston.
And even as we look forward to Barbara's mission when we are able to return to flight, last month we began to set in motion a process in cooperation with the White House, the Department of Education, the National Science Foundation and other partner organizations, to recruit three to six Educator Astronauts to follow in her footsteps.
On multiple flights involving both the Space Shuttle and International Space Station, our Educator Astronauts will demonstrate to students what can be accomplished in space using cutting-edge math and science, and underscore how today's young people can be a part of such adventures in the future.
We think this program has a tremendous potential to complement the goals of Secretary Paige's Mathematics and Science Initiative and we look forward to working with our colleagues at the Department of Education and elsewhere to realize its full potential.
Let me tell you a bit about the application process to become an Educator Astronaut. Educators who are U.S. citizen and certified K-12 teachers with a minimum of three years in-classroom teaching experience within the past four years are qualified to apply. They must also have a bachelor's degree in physical science, biological science, engineering or mathematics, or an education degree with a concentration in these fields.
Applications for Educator Astronauts will be accepted until April 30th of this year, with the announcement of the new corps of Educator Astronauts due early next year. The application package is available on the web at http://edspace.nasa.gov.
Fittingly, this program is designed to engage large segments of the population in the excitement of the Educator Astronaut program. We will invite students and parents to nominate outstanding educators to be considered for an Education Astronaut position through the web site I just mentioned. And NASA will then ask the teachers who have been so recognized to submit a formal application.
We will also encourage students, educators, parents and other members of the public to join something we call the Educator Astronaut "Earth Crew." The Earth Crew is a web-based initiative linking audiences with educational activities and programs, astronaut profiles and training information, basic information on living and working in space, NASA career profiles and more. Of course, all these materials are being created with the goal in mind of supporting national content standards for mathematics, science and technology.
To date, just two weeks after announcing the Educator Astronaut program, we have received over 2,000 nominations for the program, and, most importantly, 700 of those nominations came in following the Columbia accident. The education community has been quite vocal regarding the need to continue pursuing this important initiative.
NASA also recognizes the importance of supporting classroom teachers as they develop the pipeline of our math and science students. To this end we are establishing professional development opportunities through Explorer Schools. These schools will provide inquiry based interactive curriculum that will be conducted at NASA Centers.
NASA has also entered into collaborative partnerships with producers of film and media education materials and with a major text book publisher. The publisher will incorporate NASA's technology, teaching tools and know-how into their 2006 science textbook edition.
Through all our efforts, NASA is committed to developing and sustaining initiatives that capture the imagination of our youth. We have the capability and capacity to advance the President's education agenda in this way.
So while we acknowledge the challenges of space exploration will remain, especially during this difficult period, we will continue to forge ahead in nurturing, inspiring, and motivating students in our nation's classrooms to pursue goals that yield fresh new explorers and discoverers.
Thank you for all that you do to advance the nation's math and science education agenda, and thank you for being here today.

I entered the world just after the famous Stock Market crash and soon encountered President Franklin D. Roosevelt. My formative years were in a Depression and World War II. I currently am part of what is termed a "recession." So, what do I miss most:
1. Warm bagels delivered by a bagel man.
2. People who regard themselves as members of the working class.
3. People who can get through the day without using a machine.
4. Republicans who actually believe in human rights.
5. Movies without aliens and zombies murdering and murdering.
6. Playing stickball in the streets of New York.
7. A president who communicates with all Americans and can explain complex issues so even a ten year old knows what he is talking about.
8. A great team of New York Yankees which contains young talented players who never give up, not even on a ground ball to the pitcher.
9. A society that respects teachers and the hard work they do.
10. A society that believes in evolution.
11. Feeling proud of being Jewish because we lead the fight for human rights for ALL.

Dear Reid,
This guy I dated casually about 5 years ago popped back into my life the day after my ex of several years and I broke up. We started hanging out, and he told me how he wanted to date me, how he's more attracted to me than any other girl and how he thought about me all the time. We dated for like 6 weeks, and then he started to get distant. I was getting clingy and seemed confused and insecure because it was so soon after my breakup. I'd usually start acting over-analytical and confused when we did something sexual…
I told him I needed to be single awhile and take a break from guys, but I wanted one last fling. He turned it down, and said he wanted to date me in the future. That was 3 months ago. I hadn't heard from him for about 1 month but now he's poking me on Facebook, called me/texted me once when he was drunk and left a message. I returned the call and never heard back. I text him back and he'll respond once, but not keep the convo going. Ran into my ex of 3 years, who told me this guy came up to him and introduced himself out of nowhere.
He texted me on my birthday, but then didn't respond when I said thanks. I'm confused, we really got along and I dont' know why he doesn't act like he wants to be friends. Or why he contacts me every so often "just to stay in touch." Should I be pissed at being the fall-back girl? Or should I be flattered he is waiting for when I'm ready to date him again? He also went up to my ex and introduced himself at a bar- I don't know what to make of this behavior.
Signed, Confused & Annoyed
I know how you feel. You've kept this guy on the hook for so long that it's quite a shock to discover that he has finally grown a bit of a backbone. The poor guy has been waiting in the wings for you for years… probably hoping against hope that you'd eventually dump your jerk of a boyfriend and give a nice guy a shot for once. Then, when he finally saw his window and made his move, you told him that you weren't ready to be with him right now, but you'd sure be happy to have a little fling. Hardly what he was looking for, and it seems to me he was quite clear about that.
Take a good look at the situation here: you're not his fall-back girl, he's your fall-back guy. And if you like him at all, you have two humane choices: date him for real, or let him off the hook once and for all. It seems like you're ready to date again, or you wouldn't be so confused and annoyed at his recent behavior. So, if he's a candidate, let him know you're back on the market and ready to give it a shot. If he's not for you, and never will be, just let him know so the poor schlep can get on with his life. But please, for the love of Pete, no matter what you do, don't tell him you just want to be friends.

President Bush is making a fresh appeal for Congress to move quickly on his proposal for a $700 million program to stabilize cascading financial markets. Bush made a terse public statement outside the oval office Friday morning, the day after an apparent agreement on the broad outline of a relief bill fell apart. The president said he expected that individual lawmakers would have disagreements about the details of the plan but said there is no choice but to act. Bush said, "there is no disagreement that something substantial must be done." He's trying to round up members of his own party and get them behind a proposed bailout of Wall Street. The White House says there's no reason a rescue package can't be put together by Monday. The administration is putting pressure on Congress with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and Vice President Dick Cheney talking to lawmakers. John McCain has also been on Capitol Hill today to meet with Republican leaders. The ongoing talks mean Congress will likely have to put off a scheduled adjournment next week and stay in Washington to address the issue.
Administration and Congressional leaders working on the financial market bailout are hoping things turn out better today than Thursday. A White House summit meeting involving Bush, the two presidential candidates, Congressional leaders and Treasury Secretary Paulsen "devolved into a contentious shouting match," according to McCain's campaign. The meeting revealed that the bailout plan had been suddenly sidetracked by fellow Republicans in the House who favor a different approach. It involves a package of tax breaks and a new government-sponsored insurance program for mortgage-backed securities. Instead of the government buying toxic mortgage securities, this plan would have banks, financial firms and other investors holding them pay premiums to the Treasury to finance the insurance coverage. Democrats say the idea is unworkable and that Paulson agrees. The idea behind the plan is that the insurance would give investors enough confidence to buy the illiquid securities and establish a market for them. The plan emerged after it became clear that House Republicans in large numbers weren't coming around to the Bush administration approach.
Weary Congressional negotiators worked into the night, joined by Paulson in an effort to revive or rework the proposal that President Bush said must be quickly approved by Congress to stave off potentially "a long and deep recession." The plan's centerpiece still is for the government to buy the toxic, mortgage-based assets of shaky financial institutions. Democratic House Financial Services Chairman Barney Frank says the fate of the proposal is in the hands of House Republicans, who he says need to drop their "revolt" against the measure. Frank, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, also suggested that unexpected late resistance to the administration's plan by many House conservatives, may amount to Republicans carrying water for John McCain. Frank said he did not think that Democrats were going to have to "referee" an internal republican ideological war over the 700 billion-dollar proposal that the administration has been trying to sell to lawmakers.
For the second time in six months, JPMorgan Chase is taking over a major financial institution crippled by bad bets in the mortgage market. JPMorgan Chase came to the rescue of Washington Mutual Thursday, buying the thrift's banking assets. The move came after WAMU was seized by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in the largest failure ever of a U.S. bank. The deal will cost JPMorgan Chase $1.9 billion. The bank says in a statement it plans to write down WAMU's loan portfolio by approximately $31 billion. JPMorgan Chase, which acquired Bear Stearns last March, also says it will sell $8 billion in common stock to raise its capital position. The FDIC, which insures bank deposits, says it won't have to dip into the insurance fund as a result of the seizure.
JPMorgan Chase tops the list of the largest secured creditors in the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy case, with $23 billion in claims. Secured creditors would be paid back first in the event there is money to be distributed. Secured creditors are paid before unsecured creditors–shareholders rank lowest and often get nothing. Next on the list is Hudson Castle Group's Fenway, which is owed $3 billion; SwedBank of Sweden with $1.35 billion in claims; and State Street with $1 billion. Lehman Brothers Holdings filed the biggest bankruptcy in U.S. history on September 15th. It reported assets of $639 billion and debt of $613 billion.
Republicans in the Senate have blocked a plan by Democrats to pump $56 billion in government spending into the economy through public works projects, help for the jobless and money for states struggling with their Medicaid bills. The 52-42 tally fell well short of the 60 votes needed to defeat a GOP filibuster. The White House promised a veto anyway, saying the measure would not work and would cost too much. The failed measure would have followed up on a bipartisan plan enacted this winter to try to boost the economy through tax rebate checks. With the economy still sagging, Democrats have long pressed for a follow-up plan to extend unemployment benefits, boost food stamp payments and build infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, water and sewer projects and school repairs.
The government says the economy's spring rebound turned out to be slightly less energetic than previously thought. Even so, the improvement is expected to be short lived as the country gets pounded by the worst financial crisis in decades. The Commerce Department reports that gross domestic product increased at a 2.8 per cent annual rate in the April-June period. That wasn't as strong as the 3.3 per cent growth estimated a month ago. But it did mark a pick up after two terrible quarters. Economists were predicting the second-quarter GDP reading would stay at 3.3 per cent.
The average retail price of gasoline in Houston fell 15 cents this week to $3.54, according to AAA Texas. Galveston averages dropped seven cents to $3.56 per gallon. Statewide averages are down more than ten cents to $3.59. National averages are down 13 cents to $3.70 per gallon.
France's Total refinery in Port Arthur is restarting, after regaining power. The plant is the last of 14 refineries shut down for Hurricane Ike to regain electricity. Marathon's Texas City plant is undergoing repairs, but all other area refineries have begun ramping up production.
The fuel shortage that has drivers across the southeast scrambling to fill their tanks is pinching independent gasoline stations. Such stations rely on gas sales to lure customers who also buy snacks, soda and other incidentals. Experts say it could be weeks before the region again has a steady supply of gas. Trade associations that represent gasoline retailers in Florida, Tennessee and Virginia say their supplies are below normal–but the situation had improved. A handful of the 14 upper Gulf Coast refineries that halted operations as Hurricane Ike approached–remain shut down. But at least two prepared to resume making gasoline and other products. Pump prices also continued falling across the country amid the nation's economic doldrums and dwindling demand. Retail gasoline prices in Texas dropped 11 cents this week, to $3.59 per gallon.
The number of rigs actively exploring for oil and natural gas in the United States dropped by 23 this week to 1,995. Of the rigs running nationwide, 1,559 were exploring for natural gas and 423 for oil, Houston-based Baker Hughes reported. Thirteen were listed as miscellaneous. A year ago, the rig count stood at 1,760. Texas gained three. Baker Hughes has tracked rig counts since 1944. The tally peaked at 4,530 in 1981, during the height of the oil boom. The industry posted several record lows in 1999, bottoming out at 488.
Cameron International, a Houston-based provider of valve equipment to the petroleum industry, will add 110 jobs as part of a $49 million expansion of its Ville Platte manufacturing plant. The plant currently has 500 jobs that pay an average of $49,000 annually. The expansion includes a new 125,000-square-foot building. Plant manager Josh Stanford says it's the second largest manufacturing capital investment for Cameron. Cameron officials selected Ville Platte for the expansion after considering several other existing company sites in other states. Officials say the state and the company are working out the final details of an economic incentive package that will be tied to capital investment and job creation requirements.
Chrysler says it will fire about 250 salaried workers by the end of the month as the automaker tries to meet its goal of cutting 1,000 white-collar jobs. Chrysler had said it hoped most of the cuts would come from early retirements, attrition and voluntary separation programs. But the company says that it only achieved about three-quarters of the planned reduction. The cuts come as Chrysler continues to struggle amid the nationwide slump in auto sales.
The latest movement for mortgage rates aren't going to help would-be homebuyers or those looking to refinance. Freddie Mac says the average for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages rose to 6.09 per cent, up from 5.78 per cent last week. For 15-year fixed-rate mortgages, the national average was 5.77 per cent, up from 5.35 per cent last week. And for one-year Treasury-indexed adjustable rate mortgages, the average was 5.16 per cent, up from 5.03 per cent last week.
KB Home says its third-quarter loss quadrupled from a year-ago period helped by hefty gains on the homebuilder's now-discontinued French operations, and missed Wall Street expectations. The Los Angeles-based company's loss widened to $144.7 million from a loss of $35.6 million a year ago. But excluding gains from its divested French operations, year-ago losses totaled a whopping $478.6 million. Latest-quarter results included pretax charges of $82.2 million to write down inventory values. Revenue for the period ended August 31st fell by more than half to $681.6 million from $1.54 billion, as continued deterioration in new home demand and pricing, excessive inventories and less mortgage availability hurt sales across most markets. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters had predicted revenue of $734.7 million.

RIOS, Leonardo et al. Prevalence of intestinal parasites and social-environmental aspects in an indigenous Community in the Iauaretê District, Municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira (State of Amazonas), Brazil. Saude soc. [online]. 2007, vol.16, n.2, pp.76-86. ISSN 0104-1290. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0104-12902007000200008.
The Iauaretê District is the second largest human concentration centre in the municipality of São Gabriel da Cachoeira, state of Amazonas. Situated in Alto Rio Negro Indigenous Land, on the border between Brazil and Colombia, Iauaretê aggregates ten villages, encompassing 15 ethnic cultures. This indigenous district has been undergoing a process of progressive transformation from a disperse and riparian occupation pattern into a settlement with urban features, with approximately 2,700 inhabitants, triggering public health problems. Aiming to investigate the distribution of the prevalence of intestinal parasites in the local population and to discuss the relation between this health indicator and socio-environmental aspects in the Iauaretê district, the quality of the drinking water was analyzed and parasitological exams of excreta and soil samples were conducted. Of the total of analyzed water samples, 89.2% showed positive result for thermotolerant coliforms. The Dom Bosco village was the one presenting the highest prevalence index in excreta samples, with 76% of the individuals infested. The São José village presented the lowest index (56%). The most prevalent parasites were, in decreasing order: Ascaris lumbricoides (64.84%), Entamoeba coli (32.58%), Endolimax nana (14.84%), and Blastoyistis hominis (13.39%). The most significant prevalences of parasites in soil samples were Ascaris sp eggs (52.6%), Entamoeba coli cysts (52.6%) and hookworms larvae (52.6%). In conclusion, high indexes of intestinal parasitism in the population, together with lack of basic sanitation and maintenance of traditional sanitary practices are matters of concern in the public health area.

Bangalore: Skipper Virat Kohli gave Royal Challengers Bangalore the high they needed to set their engine in motion in IPL 6, but in defending champions Kolkata Knight Riders they face a team on Thursday that can match Bangalore's star power man for man.
Bangalore were a little hurt losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Super Over and avenged that defeat in style in the return match on Tuesday as Kohli's blistering 93 not out off 47 balls made a mockery of the 162-run target, which they achieved with more than two overs to spare.
But what must have added to Bangalore's growing confidence is that they scored that big win without significant contribution from Chris Gayle, who made just 13. That must lift the morale of a team that has been time and again called to be dependent on Gayle.
The return of AB de Villiers has also added to RCB's batting power, though the South African perished after scoring just 15 on Tuesday. Mayank Agarwal looks good as well at the top with Gayle, with Moises Henriques filling the allrounder's spot in the middle, followed by wicketkeeper-batsman Arun Karthik. In short, no change expected on the batting front, with Tillakaratne Dilshan expected to sit out once again.
The RCB batsmen, though, will have to contend with the mystery spin of Sunil Narine, who remains unread so far in the tournament. Bangalore would like to keep him away from wickets and should settle for three to four runs an over from his spell.
RP Singh returned to RCB's line-up on Tuesday in style with his spell of 3 for 27. That evened out Vinay Kumar's off day at the office when he leaked 43 runs for his one wicket in four overs against Hyderabad, but he remains their top performer having bowled well in the previous two matches. Jaydev Unadkat, surprisingly, has bowled well to help RCB cope with Zaheer Khan's absence.
The two Muralis in the RCB side - Muttiah Muralitharan and Murali Kartik - are running the spin business well, with both applying brakes in the middle overs and proving difficult to get away. On the whole, RCB are not expected to change their Tuesday's winning combination.
KRR have landed in Bangalore taking a slightly different route, having lost to Rajasthan Royals after winning the first match against Delhi Daredevils. Their batting caved in chasing 145 against Rajasthan, and Gautam Gambhir will expect his batsmen to put that failure behind and get back to scoring ways.
Kolkata have problems at the top with opening partnerships of 5 and 19. Manvinder Bisla hasn't looked anywhere near his form last season. Though Gambhir has looked good in his knocks of 41 and 22, he would like to kick on for a big one. Jacques Kallis, Manoj Tiwary and Yusuf Pathan aren't at their best yet, with Eoin Morgan's half-century in the last match the only bright spot in the middle order.
Brett Lee and Narine will once again be Kolkata's chief wicket-taking hopes. Rajat Bhatia's seam-up variation has proved very effective, with the batsmen often falling in attempts to force pace when none is available. Gambhir replaced L Balaji with Shami Ahmed in the last match but is expected to bring the experienced Balaji back considering Bangalore's batting might.
Playing XIs:
Royal Challengers Bangalore: 1 Mayank Agarwal, 2 Chris Gayle, 3 Virat Kohli (capt), 4 AB de Villiers, 5 Moises Henriques, 6 Arun Karthik (wk), 7 Vinay Kumar, 8 Murali Kartik, 9 Jaidev Unadkat, 10 RP Singh, 11 Muttiah Muralitharan
Kolkata Knight Riders: 1 Manvinder Bisla (wk), 2 Gautam Gambhir (capt), 3 Jacques Kallis, 4 Manoj Tiwary, 5 Eoin Morgan, 6 Yusuf Pathan, 7 Laxmi Ratan Shukla, 8 Rajat Bhatia, 9 Brett Lee, 10 L Balaji, 11 Sunil Narine

Searching For Happy Ending To Ferry Tale
Never give up the ship, especially when that ship is a commuter ferry from Rockaway to Manhattan.
As soon as the subsidized American Princess ceased operation in July, those locals who rode the ferry and appreciated the service went to work looking for a new ferry provider – one that was not subsidized by the city and therefore subject to the mayor's whims.
"We need an alternative way to get off the peninsula," said John Lepore, the president of the Chamber of Commerce of the Rockaways. "We set out to find somebody who would operate a non-subsidized service that would draw people from all over the peninsula and that would connect to the ferry service in Manhattan so there could be multiple destinations."
"The key," Lepore added, "will be a service that those who now drive to Manhattan can afford, that is reliable and that makes multiple stops in Rockaway."
Lepore says that he believes he and the others pushing for a new ferry service have found that operator, but he won't say who it is.
"He's a legitimate player," Lepore said, "but it's not fair to make an announcement until the deal is done, which may be soon."
The chamber president believes that problems still exist.
One is the cost. "We will not be able to keep the cost to $5 or $6," he said. "But people who now drive to Manhattan and have to park their cars might find a 30-minute ride from Rockaway to Pier 11 an attractive alternative."
"We're trying to work it out so that the ferry will connect both to JFK Airport and to the water taxies that service midtown Manhattan," he said. Rockaway ferry activist Joe Hartigan, who never missed a chance to call the former ferry service, "the wrong boat in the wrong place with the wrong schedule," told Community Board 14 District Manager Jonathan Gaska that he had put the boat owner together with local ferry activist Ellen McCarthy-Coyne.
"Basically, it's like a car service for ferry riders," Gaska said. "Get together 100 people who will split the cost each day and the ferry runs to Manhattan and back."
Meanwhile, ferry activists continue to seek the perfect solution, a boat that can utilize several terminals throughout the peninsula, that will get to Manhattan in 45 minutes or less, and that will cost about $5 dollars.
So far, that dream has not been realized, but Lepore hopes that it will be realized one day.
"We're really trying to get something that Rockaway badly needs," Lepore said wistfully.

Coronado to reduce bike fines, give more tickets
Right now running a red costs nearly $500
Sheila Pell 8:30 a.m., May 22
A group of 20 migrants were detained by Border Patrol on Wednesday, June 11th, after agents found an empty boat on a beach. Agents followed the footprints which led them to the 20 migrants.
The migrants varied in age, and were carrying no drugs or contraband.
Carlsbad is roughly 55 miles north of the Mexican border by sea.
The Border Patrol has recently upped its maritime patrolling due to new drug and person smuggling routes along the sea. Drug shipments have been dumped in the ocean near San Diego due to Border Patrol pursuit, and smuggling boats have landed as far north as Los Angeles.
The Border Patrol is currently undergoing several changes in California. Those changes include closing the small Riverside, CA office, as well as constructing booths to better monitor outgoing traffic leaving California for Mexico.

|From The Principals Desk
I was invited to visit the Far Western areas of Broken Hill, Cobar, Wilcannia and Menindee last week. The communities made me feel very welcome. The achievements of Westfields Sports are very well known and regarded in this area. The community, District Superintendent, principals and teachers were very interested and along with parents, expressed the wish for students to visit Westfields Sports for a week or three to enjoy the opportunities, not necessarily available in an area disadvantaged by the great distances involved in travelling. I became aware of the isolation and the need to keep in touch. Over the six days I travelled over 3000 kilometres.

Westfields: Hot Off the Press
On the consecutive weeks of Thursday 1st March and Thursday 8th March, Year 12 Business Studies students went on an excursion to Fairfax Printers Limited at Chullora. Students were given a tour of the multi-million dollar complex by Fairfax staff, as well as attending a workshop with the Sydney Morning Herald's Educational officer, Ali Davies. Students also visited the Fairfax museum where they viewed a brief video on the history of Fairfax Printers Limited as well as having a hands on experience with obsolete and outdated printer machinery. Students were fascinated with the technology and team work needed to compile a newspaper, and the sheer size and budget for the Fairfax Group. The excursion was very informative and relevant to our studies as well as being enjoyed by all. Special thanks must go to Mr Thomas, Mr Brennan, Mr Patmore and the social science faculty for organising the excursion. --------------------------------------------------------------------Danilo Zivanovic & Zuber Hussien

Year 10 Commerce Excursion
As part of the Year 10 Commerce Course, students recently had the opportunity to visit the Justice and Police Museum, and Parliament House, located in the city. At the Justice and Police Museum, we were able to participate in a Mock Trial, which ran with a real magistrate. We were also shown various murder weapons which had been confiscated from past criminals. Then we were able to see the cells that prisoners were housed in. We listened to some gory stories of crimes in the 50's and 60's. At Parliament House we were able to see the rooms where State Parliament is conducted. We were able to sit in the Lower and Upper Houses. The information that we learned on our excursion will provide us with knowledge for our exams. Altogether it was a great day, with lots of good photos and lunch in St James Park. ---------------------------------------------------Jenni Immonen
Cricket News
Having won the Davidson Shield, the Boys Open Cricket team represented CHS in the GHD All Schools Competition to find the Champion NSW School Cricket Team. This cup replaced the old Ominicom Trophy, won in outstanding fashion by Westfields in year 2000.
All looked on target for a second consecutive championship with Westfields easily accounting for the GPS Representatives, St Josephs College, in the quater final. In a resounding victory, the Westfields lads scored 4/277, led by an inspiring 81 n.o. by Cameron Nupier, and an equally good knock by Scott Jamieson with 68. Gavin Atkin added 44, and Matt Williams 36, to reach the second highest total in the history of the competition. St Josephs replied with 159, with Cameron completing a fine double with 4/27, and Anthony Percy with 4/41. Mark Oliver was the remaining wicket-taker with 1/10.
The semi-final was against the CAS winners, Barker College, who we had defeated in the final of 2000. Our preperation was somewhat upset by difficulties with transport, and having to field first, we struggled to contain Barker, who reached 9/175 from their mandatory 50 overs. Wickets were shared between Matt Williams, Cameron Nupier, Gavin Atkin, and Kurt Minard. Our batting was similar to our bowling and fielding and we were dismissed for only 114. Mark Oliver was the only batsman who showed any resistance, with a top score of 40.
The loss brought to an end an outstanding run of victories by the first XI side who had gone through an undefeated run of 16 matches. All the boys can be proud of their achievements, winning two Davidson Shields and an all Schools Championship, as well as being semi-finalists in the same competition.
State Baseball Representatives
From the CHS Baseball Carnival, last month, four students have been chosen in the NSW State school boys team to play against the NSW Catholic schoolboys on April 5. From this match a squad will be chosen to play in the Australian School Boys Tournament in Melbourne later this year. Well done to David Welch, Matthew Sundstrom, Paul Morrison and Andrew Erickson.
World Youth Championships

Legal Studies Excursion
On Tuesday 3/4/01, Ms York's Year 11 Legal Studies class went to the Fairfield Local Court. The court deals with crimes, civil or criminal, that have been committed in the Fairfield District, or anywhere else in NSW. Ninty eight percent of trials heard will be given a verdict in the local court. The remaining two percent will be moved to the next higher court. Which in this case is the District court. The class was split into two sections with group one going to court one and the second group going to court two. The cases which were heard ranged from assault to road rage. Many students were extremely interested in what the magistrate had to say to us. We were treated like guests rather than spectators, and we were therefore extremely grateful. Overall the day presented an excellent paradigm of how the legal system in the local court is run.---------------Noor Georges
Westfields Students Imprisoned!n
On Friday 23rd of March, Year 12 Legal Studies students visited the Silverwater Prison Complex, accompanied by Mr Pearson and Mr Barr as part of their crime and the law unit. Students toured the Silverwater Correctional Centre and the Mulawa Womens Gaol, and vowed never to return.
Everybody had the opportunity to speak and interact with the prisoners themselves and gained an insight into the life of an inmate. Students also had the chance to greet the Governor of Silverwater Prison Complex and discuss issues facing the legal and gaol system today. We heard the viewpoint of the Governor on whether the system is addressing the burden of overcrowding in Australian gaols. All those who attended on the day learnt a valued lesson as to the consequeces of recklessness regarding criminal activity. Overall, it was a wonderful day and a terrific experience for all!-------------------------------Hong Vu & Lucy Tang

A consortium of researchers headed by Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center has discovered a gene expression pattern that could lead to improved diagnosis and treatment of pediatric septic shock -- still a serious public health problem despite today's potent antibiotics and pediatric intensive care units.
Consistent with Cincinnati Children's increased emphasis on personalized and predictive medicine -- where diagnosis and treatment coincide with a person's genetic predisposition -- the study involves the largest gene expression analysis to date of blood samples from children with septic shock. It found new evidence linking adverse clinical outcomes with the decreased expression of genes that encode proteins involved in zinc regulation. This unexpected finding suggests these proteins and zinc regulation could provide a target for therapeutic intervention to inhibit septic shock's progression to multiple organ failure.
"Zinc was not even on our radar screen for this disease process," said Dr. Hector Wong, M.D., professor of Pediatrics and director of Critical Care Medicine at Cincinnati Children's. "This study demonstrates the potential power of genomic medicine for discovery and the generation of novel hypotheses. We are ultimately interested in determining whether or not there are biologically significant gene expression profiles that distinguish survivors from non-survivors. The rationale is to discover novel biomarkers of poor outcome and novel therapeutic targets as means for developing more effective treatment strategies."
The study -- published in the July issue of Physiological Genomics -- and consortium were led by Dr. Wong. The paper describes how comparative gene expression analysis of blood samples from children identified 63 genes expressed differently in patients with septic shock. This includes two forms of metallothionein where higher levels of metallothionein and lower levels of zinc were associated with increased chance of death. A total of 57 children participated in the study, which used individual micro-array chips to analyze samples from 15 control patients without septic shock and 42 patients with septic shock, including nine fatal cases.
Researchers at Cincinnati Children's continue to investigate the potential for analyzing zinc levels as way to understand the biology of septic shock and allow for more effective therapeutic intervention. This includes the possibility of using zinc supplementation as a form of treatment.

The Idiot HTML version
Chapter 10
The entrance-hall suddenly became full of noise and people. To judge from the sounds
which penetrated to the drawing-room, a number of people had already come in, and
the stampede continued. Several voices were talking and shouting at once; others were
talking and shouting on the stairs outside; it was evidently a most extraordinary visit that
was about to take place.
Everyone exchanged startled glances. Gania rushed out towards the dining-room, but a
number of men had already made their way in, and met him.
"Ah! here he is, the Judas!" cried a voice which the prince recognized at once. "How
d'ye do, Gania, you old blackguard?"
"Yes, that's the man!" said another voice.
There was no room for doubt in the prince's mind: one of the voices was Rogojin's, and
the other Lebedeff's.
Gania stood at the door like a block and looked on in silence, putting no obstacle in the
way of their entrance, and ten or a dozen men marched in behind Parfen Rogojin. They
were a decidedly mixed-looking collection, and some of them came in in their furs and
caps. None of them were quite drunk, but all appeared to De considerably excited.
They seemed to need each other's support, morally, before they dared come in; not one
of them would have entered alone but with the rest each one was brave enough. Even
Rogojin entered rather cautiously at the head of his troop; but he was evidently
preoccupied. He appeared to be gloomy and morose, and had clearly come with some
end in view. All the rest were merely chorus, brought in to support the chief character.
Besides Lebedeff there was the dandy Zalesheff, who came in without his coat and hat,
two or three others followed his example; the rest were more uncouth. They included a
couple of young merchants, a man in a great-coat, a medical student, a little Pole, a
small fat man who laughed continuously, and an enormously tall stout one who
apparently put great faith in the strength of his fists. A couple of "ladies" of some sort
put their heads in at the front door, but did not dare come any farther. Colia promptly
banged the door in their faces and locked it.
"Hallo, Gania, you blackguard! You didn't expect Rogojin, eh?" said the latter, entering
the drawing-room, and stopping before Gania.

Home team hit by flu on Test eve
Page Tools
Australia's quest for a record-equalling seventh consecutive win over Great Britain on English soil has received a boost, with flu ripping through the Lions camp ahead of tomorrow night's Tri Nations Test.
Utility Iestyn Harris and in-form prop Stuart Fielden have been sent home, while coach Brian Noble and his assistants Graham Steadman and Jon Sharp also are battling the bug.
That news came as Australian prop Shane Webcke warned a Great Britain victory in Wigan this weekend could upset the balance of power in international rugby league.
An Australian win would equal the record of seven-straight in England set during the 1980s.
"I keep reiterating this, I hope they don't sit there thinking we think they're anything but a quality football team," Webcke said. "You get the perception that they think we laugh at them or something or they're a joke to us.
"They're a long way from that. They are so close to beating us it isn't funny. For all intents and purposes, this weekend could be it, so we have to be on our guard and playing better than we're playing.
"What will happen is, not only will they close that minuscule gap that might be there, they'll go right through it.
"In saying that, I have a tremendous amount of confidence in us, too. It's one thing to talk them up and talk us down.
"But we are, and rightly so I think, recognised as the best team going around. But they're not a long way behind us."
If it were to lose Fielden, it would be a savage blow to Britain.
The Bradford front-rower has been the home side's best player in their two Tri Nations hitouts and was man-of-the-match in the 12-8 loss to the Kangaroos at City of Manchester Stadium.
"He's very crucial to our plans," Steadman said. "He's on fire at the moment. He felt he had a very inconsistent season with the Bulls and he's out to make his mark as one of the leading props in world rugby league.
"His first two hitouts have certainly put him up there with the best of them and he'll be looking to kick on."
Harris, who looked impressive off the bench in Great Britain's 22-12 win over New Zealand last weekend, is rated almost no chance to play.
"Iestyn is in the worst condition of anybody, and if I was honest, the chances of him figuring at the weekend would be minimal," Steadman said. England winger Mark Calderwood has been put on standby.
Australian coach Wayne Bennett is expected to whittle his squad down from 19 to 17 players today.
Mark O'Meley, Matt Bowen and Shaun Timmins are involved in a three-way battle for a spot on the Australian bench, while back-rower Craig Fitzgibbon is on target to return from a shoulder injury.

Where I stayed
Hotel Pamela
Of course, the heat here can be a good thing, as it makes the excellent Greek coffee taste even better, when it served over ice. Plus, this type of weather makes watching all the **pretty Greek girls (of which there are many) an even more enjoyable activity.
** If Benita asks, I do not know this personally, as this was only discovered through discussions with male tourists and locals
Thessaloniki's port area is an interesting one, with cinema and photography museums, and an art gallery, in addition to the massive Kitchen Bar. You could see this becoming a very desirable place to live, if they were to expand outwards and erect housing - waterfront property close to all the action, with spectacular views, at least for homes facing away from the ugly industrial section of the port.
During initial planning of this trip, Greece wasn't even on the radar - the two nights spent here were originally earmarked for Kosovo, but the flight from Barcelona to Pristina was both expensive and inconvenient, with a connection in Switzerland. The idea of arriving there just before midnight and flying out again at 6:30 AM wasn't appealing, either having to sleep at the airport or check into a hotel for just a few hours. But ... a flight into Thessaloniki was just over half the price, and involved a fairly decent daytime connection through Athens.
It was a good excuse to check out Greece, a country high on my list for a number of years, but never convenient to visit and fully enjoy all that it has to offer during my preferred months of travel. The heat during July and August would be brutal, and what's the point of visiting during winter when you can't swim in the ocean or enjoy the beaches? But having had a nice little taste of the country, it's making me think of coming back next summer ...
The border crossing into Macedonia was a pain, taking nearly 90 minutes to go through customs on both sides - the checkpoint wasn't particularly busy, making me wonder if it was a result of animosity between the two countries, with the controversy surrounding the name Macedonia. Historically, "Macedonia" encompassed regions of Bulgaria, Greece, and the FYROM (Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), the most widely-accepted name of the country I'm crossing into.
When the modern nation of Macedonia was born in the early 90s, Greece protested the name, fearing that it implied a claim on the Macedonian region in Northern Greece, resulting in international usage of the name FYROM. But even after all this time it's still a sore point in the region, with Greece not wanting to accept FYROM, which they considered to be only a provisional name until a more suitable one could be chosen
The location of the border crossing leads smack dab into the middle of Macedonia's wine country (betcha didn't know it even had one, did you?). Similar to Bulgaria's long and storied history of wine production, it was something I only discovered during trip planning and decided that the Tikves wine region was a must see, despite it not being at the top of most Macedonian itineraries.
Coming from Greece by public transport, the easiest first stop is Negotino, a small little town that is big on wine. The population is somewhere around 20,000, but you wouldn't know it on this evening - it seemed like the entire town was out on patios tonight, watching Spain vs Portugal in the Euro Cup, even though the game played until past midnight.
Negotino had a great buzz tonight, but sadly, I did come across some racism as I ate dinner - though Asian tourists are fairly common in Greece, and there is even a relatively sizable Chinatown in Thessaloniki, I doubt there are many Asians seen in Macedonia. The family next to me kept saying "chinky, chinky" - normally, it would've been offensive, until I remember that in the Balkans, "cinki" means pancake or crepe. They were discussing what kind of dessert they wanted!

Need The Perfect Last-Minute Holiday Gift? DonorsChoose.Org Fits Everyone
Posted by Augie Ray on December 18, 2010
- 653 Recommendations
- 2 comments
If you're in need of a last-minute holiday gift, how about giving the gift of charity and education? I had a series of experiences with DonorsChoose.org this year that exceeded every expectation. Never have I been more appreciated for a contribution, nor have I felt and seen the impact of a donation more directly. The affirmative feelings I received from DonorsChoose.org were so wonderful, I want to share them with you (and I'm giving gifts of DonorsChoose.org to people on my gift list this year).
I came to know DonorsChoose.org through Twitter, which distributed $50 gift cards to attendees of its Chirp Conference in April. (Classy move, Twitter!) I was not familiar with DonorChoose.org and learned that it is a site where public school teachers in the US can post classroom project requests for which they need cash. Visitors can surf the site for projects based on topics or location and may give as little as $1. DonorsChoose.org vets each teacher's request and purchases the requested classroom materials, shipping items directly to the school.
With Twitter's gift card in hand, I surfed the site for a worthy school project in my home state of Wisconsin. I found a request from Mrs. D's classroom in a high-poverty area of the state. Their need was simple: 16 current children's dictionaries and 16 current children's thesauruses. Others had already donated, such as Kirsten from Santa Fe, NM, who had attended the school in the 1970s and Sharon from Bayside, WI, because "I'm a strong believer in Literacy education." I used my $50 Chirp gift for Mrs. D's request and then chipped in another $25 of my own to help the classroom hit its necessary total.
The purpose of the site and the way it operates was impressive, but it was after the classroom achieved its goal that DonorsChoose.org made an impact on me that was perhaps even greater than the impact I had for Mrs. D's kids. You can, if you care to, remain anonymous when donating, but given my experience, I'd recommend you identify yourself and reap the rewards:
- At first, I received a simple online note from the teacher: "To Augie: Jubilation!!"
- Then, every donor received a heartfelt email from Mrs. D. She wrote, in part, "I want to thank you, not only for your precious financial support, but also for the way in which you have inspired me… Thanks to you, my students will have the joy of using and treasuring up-to-date writing tools. Thanks to you, these readers and writers will share in what we know to be the magic and power of words." Potent words and feelings, but the appreciation continued…
- I soon received photos of the kids using the books I helped purchase. Look at those faces! How could one not be touched by that kind of happiness and acknowledgment for the simple gift of dictionaries and thesauruses?
- And finally, the Pièce de résistance: handwritten notes from the kids. Said Anjahli, "We love to write. It is important to be a good writer." Said Bao, "You can earn when you read. I love to learn from books." Madeleine wrote, "We will use them very much and they will help me lots and lots. There is just something nice about knowing words and what they mean." Meng said, "I like to read and write because it helps me learn sentences and words. They make me feel smart. I hope I can be a police officer when I grow up."
Perhaps if I was a better person, the flood of gratitude wouldn't mean so much. But it was exactly this level of positive reinforcement that has driven me back to the site this holiday season to give more to classrooms and to gift this same experience to my loved ones. I hope you'll do the same! Visit DonorsChoose.org and make a difference in the lives of some students!
P.S. DonorsChoose.org gets a four-star rating from Charity Navigator with 92% of donated money going to classroom programs. To date, 350,000 donors have donated $68 million and helped more than 4 million students. Most of the projects funded have been in high-poverty schools. Teachers have reported that 94% of their funded projects have increased their effectiveness in the classroom.
P.P.S. In the event any of Mrs. D's kids should read this, I used a thesaurus to write this blog post. Best of luck, and thanks for making a difference in my life!
P.P.P.S. If you're still reading this, I'd very much appreciate your tweeting this blog post. Perhaps we can introduce this worthy organization to others and make a difference in many students' lives this holiday season!

Isn't it a shame, the such a big economy as the US need something like this? 3rd world behind the frontage. Even it is a good idea, I am suprised.
Comment from Augie Ray on Sun, 12/19/2010 - 11:15
There is something profoundly wrong with a government that can find TARP funds that end up funding million-dollar bonuses (http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2009/02/bonus-babies-the-big-tarp...) while teachers have to ask for donations to support their classrooms. I cannot argue that!
But, regardless of what this says about our priorities, it's still a great way to support education and a good cause. As one person, I can't get Washington or Sacramento to alter their policies, but I can donate some cash to help teachers and kids!

The Nut Gourmet by Zel Allen
Zel Allen, along with her husband, Reuben, run the popular monthly 'zine Vegetarians in Paradise. Now she has come out with a wonderful new cookbook, The Nut Gourmet: Nourishing Nuts for Every Occasion* (Book Publishing Company, 2006). Nuts are an underused source of protein, vitamins, minerals, and healthy fats. In this vegan cookbook, Zel talks about the merits of nuts in the diet, and presents dozens of delicious recipes from soups to…well, nuts.
Chapters include appetizers, soups, salads, grains and legume dishes, sauces, sandwich, vegetable dishes, spreads and dips, desserts, and more. A plethora of cooking and storage tips and nutritional information make this a definitive guide. Included also are recipes for using pumpkin, sunflower, and sesame seeds as well.
As the mother of two vegan teens of the male variety (that is, always hungry), this book is especially valuable to me. The boys were very active this past summer and I was always looking for ways to get some high-quality protein and calories into them. Nuts and nut butters provide one excellent way to do so.
I sampled a number of recipes from the book, and plan to try lots more, as so many of these sound truly luscious. Cheezy Tofu Spread with Pine Nuts, Peanut Butter Carob Pie, and Zesty Black Bean Patties were all hugely successful. I also made Cool Quinoa Salad as part of a dinner for extended family—filled with peas, broccoli, red bell pepper, herbs, and pecans, it is a vigorous, delectable treat.
