The sound of innovative learning rang out at the Killeen Independent School District Education Foundation luncheon Wednesday as the Manor Middle School "Freedom Ringers" regaled the audience with a handbell mini-concert.
The Freedom Ringers are one example of the foundation's funds being distributed to KISD teachers who apply for grants to be used for creative projects. Janice Young, the Freedom Ringers' director, said she was amazed when thousands of dollars were granted to her to buy English handbells for her students.
"Evidently, someone saw the wisdom in such a program," she said.
Other grant recipients at the luncheon included Fowler Elementary School teachers Julie Burke and Laura Holz. The duo talked about how they attained a Foundation Education grant to create a garden at their school and explained the impact it has made.
"Children are learning in that garden, and it's not just for them," Holz said. "They are also growing vegetables that we take to the soup kitchen."
Burke said it's made a significant impact on teachers, and said now she always keeps her "grant ears" open when she hears ideas that could be a good candidate for a grant.
"It gets us thinking out of the box," she said.
For the first time, the foundation picked an "Innovator of the Year." Three teachers who received grants last year were chosen for exemplary grant projects, and one winner was picked to receive an additional $1,000 to go toward the grant project.
Renee Reavis was named "Innovator of the Year" for "Get a Poducation." Runners-up were Gwendolyn James, of Clarke Elementary, for "Micro Postal System," and Lisa Brinson, of Union Grove Middle School, for "Lights, Camera, Action! Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving through Cross-Curricular Filmmaking."
The Charles Patterson Living Legacy Scholarship was awarded to fourth-grade Oveta Culp Elementary School teacher Anne Marie Rodriguez-Victory. Through this scholarship, she will be able to attend the National Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.
Also recognized at the luncheon were the Education Foundation's charter board members: Elizabeth Bigham, Annie Roe Buckley, Peggy French, Mary Gauer, Connie Kuehl and Dr. Charles Patterson.
Education Foundation president Ken Finch thanked the many individual and corporate donors which enable the foundation to award grants.
"All of this is done in the spirit of trying to create a better community," he said. "... Being involved in the community in this way is probably one of the best things you can do."
Sponsors were thanked as they symbolically signed oversized checks to the foundation during the luncheon ceremony. Partners include:
n Platinum Partners: Actus Lend Lease, LLC, Huckabee Community Excellence Fund of the Community Foundation of North Texas and the Scientific Learning Corporation.
n Gold Partners: Embarq, Parsons Commercial Roofing and Time Warner Cable.
n Silver Partners: First National Bank Texas/Fort Hood National Bank, Lott, Vernon & Co., P.C., CPAs, and Metroplex Health System.
n Bronze Partners: Leroy and Elizabeth Bingham, Herff Jones/Overall Office, JM Electronic Engineering, Dr. Henry and Joyce Mayer, Mary Sloan, Union State Bank, Peggy French, Indeco Sales, Frank W. And Anyse Sue Mayborn Foundation, Bill and Jean Shine, Superintendent's Council, Greater Central Texas Federal Credit Union, retired Gen. Robert M. Shoemaker and Technology for Education.

You are assigned to write a heaven essay. What was the first thing you did when you got the assignment? Did you look at the sky and thought "Gosh! What should I write about in my heaven essay?"
Unfortunately, waiting for some sort of help is a bad idea. However, you have a chance to find reliable tips for writing heaven essays in this article.
Do you know what three easy ways of preparing a thrilling heaven essay are? Well, you just need to watch a movie, read a book, or listen to music. Let us give more details.
Watch a movie and write a heaven essay
Have you heard about "Kingdom of Heaven" by Ridley Scott? This exact movie you need to find, watch it carefully, and write your heaven essay based on it. In a few words, the film tells a story of Muslims and Christians relations in the 12th century. If you choose to write the "Kingdom of Heaven" essay, focus on the major themes of tolerance and understanding between people of different races and religions.
Read a book and write a heaven essay
If reading is your hobby, you also have a chance to create an outstanding heaven essay. First, you have to read "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom. Second, you need to understand the author's message: who are those five people and why are they important? Finally, present your ideas in "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" essay.
Listen to music and write a heaven essay
This way of writing heaven essays will suit those who like rock music and particularly Nirvana. So, this time we suggest you listen to a couple of its songs, listen to the voice of Kurt Cobain, and try to understand his lyrics. Then, you can write a perfect "Heavier Than Heaven" essay. Do you know what "Heavier Than Heaven" is? It is a book of C. Cross devoted to the biography of Kurt Cobain. Probably, you will manage to explain why Kurt Cobain was so "passionate" about his own death.
If one day you have absolutely no ideas, use our tips for writing firefighter essays or a zoot suit essay.

Darrell (Darrell Waltrip) Wallace (Rusty Wallace) Jr. (Junior Johnson), but Darrell Wallace Jr. is going to be much more than a cool name — he is a talented young driver on the rise. According to Jim Utter's Lucky Dog Blog, Wallace has landed his first full-time ride in one of NASCAR's National Series. Wallace will run full-time in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series for Kyle Busch Motorsports, and in doing so he will become the first African American driver to run a full-season since Bill Lester's final full truck season in 2006. However don't expect Wallace to simply be happy with making the field. He has won at every level he's competed at before making it into the National levels of NASCAR, so expect him to have a shot at becoming the first African-American driver to win a NASCAR National Series race sinc...

Fox contributor Kondracke calls Sarah Palin a "joke"
As we've seen, when a news network employs both politicians considering running for office and analysts expected to give their honest political assessments, things can get messy. A split is emerging in Fox News between people who think Fox contributor Sarah Palin is qualified to run for president, and those who don't.
Fox contributor Karl Rove recently indicated [1] that he did not feel Palin has the "gravitas" necessary for the presidency. Palin responded by questioning why Rove feels "so threatened and so paranoid." Apparently Rove has some company among Fox employees.
As reported [2] by Politico's Keach Hagey, Fox contributor Mort Kondracke thinks Jim DeMint and Sarah Palin "are responsible for the fact that the Senate did not go Republican" due to their support of candidates Sharron Angle, Christine O'Donnell, Ken Buck, and Joe Miller. Discussing whether Palin could be the GOP nominee in 2012, Kondracke said that she is "a joke even within her own party" and "the idea that she would be the presidential nominee is unthinkable."
Kondracke has previously had harsh words [3] for Palin, saying during an appearance on Fox News' Special Report in 2008 that she is "utterly unqualified to be President. She is the Dan Quayle of - she's worse than Dan Quayle. Dan Quayle at least had served as a senator and was, you know, and was conversant with national issues."
Here's the video of Kondracke's comments:

Obama Moves to Keep Kill List Permanently Secret As Congress Asks More Questions Into Program
(MintPress) – President Obama has moved to keep the kill list hidden from the public forever, the latest evasive measure aimed keeping the details of target drone killings permanently confined to the executive branch. This opposes efforts by members of both the House and Senate wanting to hear more about extrajudicial attacks executing Americans suspected of terrorist activity without trial or due process of law.
This reverses an earlier promise by Obama to share information regarding the drone program with the Senate Intelligence Committee. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) confirmed this agreement in a statement earlier this month, saying, "I am pleased that the president has agreed to provide the Intelligence Committee with access to the OLC (Office of Legal Counsel) opinion regarding the use of lethal force in counterterrorism operations."
John Brennan, President Obama's hand-picked nominee to head the Central Intelligence Committee, helped create the kill list authorizing drones to illegally execute individuals suspected of being involved in terrorist activities.
Concerning for civil liberties advocates is Brennan's possible support for future drone strikes on U.S. soil targeting U.S. citizens. Assassinations violate international law and U.S. national legislation that upholds due process of law in civilian courts for U.S. citizens. Brennan previously supported the use of torture against detainees at Guantanamo Bay prison during the Bush administration.
A final vote on Brennan's nomination has been delayed until the end of February at the behest of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and others who want more details about the September 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi.
Information about drone attacks, generally, and the kill list, specifically, has been released piecemeal to the public, remaining mostly hidden by the Obama administration.
On Tuesday, Senator Graham became the first elected official to mention the numbers killed during U.S. drone attacks during a public speech at the Easley Rotary Club in South Carolina.
"We've killed 4,700. Sometimes you hit innocent people, and I hate that, but we're at war, and we've taken out some very senior members of al-Qaeda," said Graham. These figures roughly correspond to estimates made by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism based in London, an organization that has tracked the numbers killed during U.S. drone operations in Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia since 2004.

Great series the first time around and will be awesome to see it in better quality. I really wish they didn't take out so much of the storyline but the fans will know and those that don't wont really be lost.
23 out of 23 people found this review helpful:Hunter X Hunter is my favourite animethis anime is really fun to watch, you may think that it is only about a little kid trying to find his dad, but it gets a lot deeper than that. I think this anime should be as popular as One piece, Naruto or Bleach. I don't think there is one single episode in hunter x Hunter where I was bored. The best thing is that this anime has no fillers at all.

A DOG rescue charity has praised the Government's plans to microchip every dog in England by 2016 which intends to cut a rise in strays.
If owners ignore it they could be fined up to £500.
The chip, usually put on the animal by a vet, contains the owner's details and can be read using a scanner.
Stokenchurch Dog Rescue takes in hundreds of dogs every year and many are found to have no chips.
Nationally about 110,000 dogs are picked up as strays every year with about half unable to be reunited with their owners because they cannot be identified.
Some rescue centres put dogs to sleep if too many are brought in and kennel space is limited, but the Stokenchurch charity has a policy to never put a healthy dog to sleep and rehomes nearly 40 dogs a month.
They always chip them before they go to new owners.
Spokesman Geoff Perfitt, said: "We much welcome this government compulsory measure. It can't come soon enough. It will mean welfare charities like us, and the police and councils, can trace owners of dogs which have strayed or have been mistreated, neglected, abandoned or lost. Distress for humans and dogs is reduced. It's bad news too for irresponsible dog owners."

Microsoft's Surface Windows 8 Pro tablet is on sale from Saturday, costing 50 per cent more than its equivalent Windows RT forerunner – from $900 rather than $600 in the US for the 64Gb versions.
At first glance, the two look identical in their size and dark titanium design, but Microsoft is providing quite a few more features for the money. Whether they are enough to justify this price for a tablet is debatable. A review after the jump. Read more

Hyatt Place Raleigh West
Top Business Hotel
Rp 1,400,000+
Airport shuttle
Plenty of room, was clean and quiet. I have no complaints
The staff members were so helpful and nice !! You cannot beat this place !! Had awesome time !! Free shuttle to airport and also the breakfast is luxury and restaurant food is legit !!!!
Entry, included breakfast, room layout, ease of access Coffee taste was not good
Modern, green conscious, staff was very friendly and we loved the suite set up. The free breakfast was so healthy and delicious
It's a nice hotel The night shift workers looked at me like I don't supposed to be in their hotel. Then put me in a handicap room. Never reserved a handicap room but they put me in one.
Well designed room, good location right off highway. Nice stay
Great value in a somewhat dated facility. This is a no frills hotel, but very convenient to RDU and the university. The daily breakfast was also as expected: plentiful, but institutional. The building could use some updating, especially the carpet.
Location and common area amenities were nice. The room was nice and seemingly updated relatively recently. The hallways need better lighting or different carpet or something. While not dark, they seem dingy, but not dirty. The bathroom in the room had mildew on the grout and seems like it is need to a quick renovation to have a new shower head, better tower bars, soap dishes and cleaner grout .
Convenience to carter-finley stadium. Needs to be updated.
A bit dated but overall clean and comfortable. Within walking distance to PNC Arena
Buffet breakfast and coffee with juice Room coffee pot and coffee
The hotel staff was friendly and accommodating. The bathroom was not as clean as it could have been. The shower walls in particular had a bit of mold in the grout.
The free dinner served Mon, Tues, and Wed. was a positive perk that was unexpected, along with the free breakfast. The batteries in the TV remote were bad in two remotes that were furnished to me to try and chage channels with.
The location and the price. The free breakfast was very good and had a lot of variety. The room smelled strongly of stale cigarette smoke, and the outside door (next to our room) closed very loudly due to the closer not operating correctly. Not a problem except in the middle of the night!
The staff was AMAZING!! They were very helpful and kind. I really enjoyed my stay!
Location The staff were rude
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Everything was a plus Nothing
Old and dirty in some places. Very outdated.
This guest did not leave comments about this hotel.
Location Bed linen was EXTREMELY soiled
Cleanest place that we have experienced in years. Help was great. Our room was better equipped then a house that we recently rented
The size of the room. It was clean, you had a suite, you could cook, microwave, place items in the refrigerator and dishes were available to use. Nice breakfast selections. I also enjoyed the exercise room. I was able to get a workout. It was hidden. It was hard to see this hotel from the road. I had to drive around several times to find it. There should be a sign letting you know where it is, that you can see from the road.
Liked the carpet and desk chair. Breakfast was good. Bed really nice. Clean. The breakfast seating area is to tight and crowded. Water pressure seemed really low at shower head. No ice available anywhere on arrival. Missed maid touchup one day.
Clean hotel, very friendly staff, central location in Raleigh easy to connect to NC State & other places in the City No restaurants close by except McDonald's, ridiculously high minimum purchase for room-service
Room was big.
check in clerk was unusually rude as if he was managing a prison and we were wayward prisoners. we are both respectful executives in our businesses and expect the same respect and courtesy we give others. overall, an excellent deal once you get past the checkin. rooms are clean, well maintained, quiet, beds comfortable, breakfast was good and the courtesy lemon water was a nice refreshing touch after a long day of travel.
decent sized clean room; simple but good breakfast; very nice lobby; ample parking; courteous staff. room was too close to elevator - pinging was too loud and interrupted my sleep; railroad behind hotel was loud every time the train passed through; small bathroom.
The rooms were very clean and up to date breakfast was fresh and tasted good (we ate early, though - not sure what it's like later in the morning) The staff was very friendly It was located right off the freeway in Cary which made accessing all different parts of the Raleigh area very easy This hotel neighbors an active train track
The room was spacious and clean. When arriving to the PNC arena in Raleigh North Carolina we were immediately disappointed. We booked online thru Kayak and on the website the pictures that were shown for the room that we wanted were not for the room that we received and payed for. So upon arrival we were told that in order to receive the room that we wanted (the one that the pictures were of online) we would have to pay an additional $80 to get. After speaking to the manager about my frustration she was nice enough to lower the additional fee to about $40. When we received our bank statement the next morning we had been charged over $70..we then had to go back and speak to the manager once again, and had to call the bank to have them release the charge and refund us the money, money in which we needed for our trip. That took another day or two to refund to the account. In all we spent about $180 for a two night stay in a room that was nice but mediocre. The shower in the room needed to be remodeled desperately the floor was caved in on either side. The vending machine showed a price for each snack but once you put your money in and paid for it you were charged more. There was also profanity engraved all over the entire elevator door. I will not be returning to this hotel in the future.
Nice place to stay in the area. Clean room and was in a safe location. Great value for the price. I would stay there again if in the area. Be careful where you stay in this area. I made the mistake of staying at the Motel 6 in this area to save a few bucks and it was very dangerous. Free breakfast but it's oatmeal, fruit and coffee. If you are looking for a cheap, clean , safe place to stay in the Raligh area this is the best I have found in the area so far if you are trying not to overspend on a motel. The desk guy was nice too. Well done guys. I can't complain. I'm sure I'll be back next time I work in Raleigh.
Room had clean composite flooring. Convenient to downtown and on way to airport. Safe location. Breakfast was apples and plain oatmeal. Coffee was good.
Spacious rooms; the bathroom was not cluttered. No left turn out of the entrance; pillows were a little too soft.
I liked the staff, they were very welcoming, and I also liked how the cleaning people did not bother me and were very kind and respectful. The one thing that turned me off was how dirty the floor was, it looked like it hadn't been vacuumed or cleaned in months. This could have been an easy fix if they would have just vacuumed it or mopped it before I stayed in the room. The dirty floor made me feel like everything else in the hotel was dirty, which I don't think was true. But I ended up not even sleeping under the covers.
The hotel staff and guests were very polite.
The staff was really cool Price
Had an excellent breakfast. Wasn't at the hotel long a little inconvenient that the pool closed at 11:00.
The room was large and very comfortable. The staff was friendly. The grounds were very well maintained. The breakfast was not very good. Eggs were obviously powdered, biscuits were hard, sausage was tough.
The King size bed was ok and the refrigerator in the room was a decent size. The shower was dingy with mildew on a few things including the shower head, the first room they tried to give us was supposed to be a non smoking room and smelled like someone had just smoked a pack an hour before.
This is an "okay" kind of place. Good for a weary tired traveler on a short stay. hot breakfast was nice. No hot water and the sink shot out air and popping noises. My wife and I had to take cold showers in the morning.
I stayed in a few hotels but Super 8 downtown was good. I don't remember the other ones.
Clean and spacious rooms. Breakfast, continental, was inadequate. It was the "American" definition of a continental breakfast, not the more fulfilling, international idea.
Displayed a pool both in photo and description was told pool has been closed for three years, wouldn't return my money
The location and a staff member The back side you can hear alot of noise from people who's outside starting up their cars.
Leaving. The room was messy, the staff was rude, the area was unsafe, it was noisy all night, the water pressure was awful, the shower needs repair, the beds were uncomfortable, the breakfast was microwave waffles, and bread. It was just an awful experianc.
Room location of the entire hotel was updated. No flat screen tvs and had to chase a gigantic cockroach around the room and into the bathroom to kill and flush. Carpet was moist and musky. Constant doors locking and unlocking, people arguing or making out. Echoing through the halls. I felt exhausted after leaving that hotel rather than rested
Bed was awful, pillowcase were urine yellow, the ac/heat button was broken and stuck on 86. Elevator was broken and I got charged extra to get a room on the bottom floor. Was awakened all night with what appeared to be drug deals right outside my room.

A BRIDPORT man whose disappearance sparked a major police search died when he drunkenly fell into a river, an inquest heard.
Phillip Guppy, of Alexandra Road, was reported missing at the beginning of December when he did not return home from a night at the Crown Inn.
His body was discovered in the River Brit near Palmers Brewery, following three days of enquiries and police appeals.
The inquest into the 62-year-old's death heard how he was in 'good spirits' when he left the pub at around 11pm on Sunday, December 1. He was 'euphoric' after joining in with the pub's monthly jam session, landlord Simon Warry said.
Mr Warry said Mr Guppy had consumed about eight pints of cider – a little more than he would usually have – but although drunk, he was 'happy'.
He said before leaving, Mr Guppy had shaken his hand and told him he would see him for his birthday, which would have been on December 6.
But officers believe Mr Guppy fell close to the river as he walked home and stumbled in and drowned. Blood was found on the tarmac around 25 feet from where his body was discovered, but DI Nicola Baker of Dorset Police said the death was not suspicious.
She added: "While intoxicated he has fallen over on his way home, hitting his head and bleeding.
"We believe he has then staggered into the water, where he was later discovered downstream."
The inquest heard that the search for Mr Guppy involved specialist water officers, the police helicopter, sniffer dogs and the coastguard.
Recording a verdict of accidental death, assistant coroner for Dorset Stephen Nicholls said: "I am satisfied that Mr Guppy's was an accidental death."

Super Mario Galaxy
Review by justsumdude899
"Pure joy on a disc: Mario's latest adventure is out of this world"
By Jeff Derrickson
(This is an unedited version of a review that will appear in Northeastern Illinois University's newspaper The Independent.)
For gamers who grew up in the same era as me, a plumber named Mario is synonymous with video games. Way back in 1985, Nintendo released its Nintendo Entertainment System, and with it came the classic side-scroller, Super Mario Bros. The title single-handedly saved the video game industry, bringing it back from the brink of collapse. I still remember playing the game for the first time, after my dad got the system hooked up. One of my favorite childhood memories, period, was getting Super Mario Bros. 3 for my 8th birthday, having a sleepover with my friends, and playing the game all night. In 1996, Super Mario 64 released with the Nintendo 64, and it introduced gamers to 3D platforming and analog controls; I was a freshman in high school, and I was as addicted as ever.
Now that I'm finally about to finish college, Mario is back and better than ever on the Nintendo Wii. Super Mario Galaxy never fails to live up to the legacy of the most-loved games in the series. Platformers had stagnated and all but died on the current generation consoles, but Super Mario Galaxy completely revitalizes the classic genre it created.
As the title suggests, Super Mario Galaxy is Mario gameplay in space. You'll run around small planets in which there is no up or down, just a center of gravity. Do a triple jump or a long jump and get some air, and you'll spin around the entire planet a couple times before landing. Find a blasting-off point, and you'll shoot across space to another planet. The gravity element inspires some truly insane level designs. You'll be walking across walls, and jumping around ceilings regularly. There are also switches that when flipped change the direction of gravity, essentially turning a level on its side. The shifts in perspective can be a little disorienting at first but it quickly becomes second nature and quite exhilarating. It makes jumping around feel fresh and new.
Those of you who have only seen promo footage of the game may be worried that Galaxy only takes place on small satellites and ditches the traditional, larger worlds to explore. There is nothing to fear. All the staples returnlarge ice worlds, lava levels, underwater levels, desert worlds, and of course, the sprawling green meadows. Instead, the space setting seems to have freed the developers' creative vision to do anything. You could be blasting from one piece of space junk to the next one minute, and then platforming your way to the top of a huge mountain the next. In one early level, you'll pilot a manta ray and race across a tube of water suspended in space. The developers basically had no restrictions and followed no rules, so every level in the game feels inspired.
On the technical side of things, the controls, graphics, and music are even more perfect than the nearly flawless gameplay. The Wiimote's unique motion and pointer controls are only used in places where they make sense. The graphics in Galaxy mark the first time I've played a Wii game and haven't thought, I wonder how this game would look on 360? The music you'll be humming for days. Songs from every game in the series are represented, and the new compositions will become just as much a part of your humming library. Some of these fully-orchestrated new themes sound like music from a Disney movie, and there are others that would be a perfect fit for the waiting line at Space Mountain.
This is also a game that will last you awhile. You can reach the final boss (spoiler: It's Bowser!) in about 12 hours by collecting only 60 stars, but there are a total of 120 stars. It's a game that people of all skill levels can enjoy. If casual gamers practice enough they can beat the main game, and for experienced gamers there are another 60 stars in which the difficulty ramps up significantly. Whichever category you fall into, Galaxy is so much fun, you'll want to get the other 60 stars.
And that's what it boils down tofun. Mario games have been known for one thing above all else, and that's the fun factor. This is the most pure fun I've had with a video game in a long time. It's a game that I'll come back to play again and again, even years down the road. Super Mario Galaxy is the best game of the year and arguably the best Mario game ever made.

In the middle of January I found a small red spot about the size of a milimeter on the top of my breast, it does not itch or hurt but after a week or so it rose slightly. The other day I noticed I now have a new one on the same breast. But has not risen yet. Other things that I don't know if it could mean anything or not but I have headaches, dizzeness, and I had a baby in December so could it be hormones? Or Stress because I have had some of that too?READ MORE
What could be causing red spots on breast?
Hi - Gosh, there's no telling what these spots could be. It seems if it was going to be something serious, it would have developed or become much more noticeable by now. I'd ask your doctor about it next time you go in - are you still going for post-partum checkups? If your breast starts to get a lot more spots; or if it feels infected (red, hot, swollen, itchy, sore, etc.), then best to get it checked out, OK? Good luck with the new baby! It's a stressful experience, but also one that's filled with love. PJH

Children's Book by Faculty/Alum Wins Geisel Medal
'The Watermelon Seed' by Printmaking Lecturer Greg Pizzoli MFA '09 (Book Arts/Printmaking) named most distinguished American book for beginning readers
Congratulations to Printmaking Lecturer Greg Pizzoli MFA '09 (Book Arts/Printmaking), whose children's book The Watermelon Seed won the 2014 Geisel Award for the most distinguished American book for beginning readers. This prestigious award is given annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association.
Published by Disney-Hyperion and released last May, The Watermelon Seed marks Pizzoli's children's book debut. With perfect comic pacing, we are introduced to a funny crocodile who has one big fear: swallowing a watermelon seed. What will he do when his greatest fear is realized? Will vines sprout out his ears? Will his skin turn pink? This crocodile has a wild imagination that kids – and adults – will love.
A true picture book gem with bold color and a beautiful sense of design, The Watermelon Seed has received praise from The New York Times, Booklist and Kirkus Reviews, as well as starred reviews in the School Library Journal and Publisher's Weekly, which calls it "an expert debut."
A write-up on Philly.com's "Art Attack" blog, which includes a trailer for the book created by James Simpson '13 (Multimedia), says, "...this book is good enough to eat."
Pizzoli's work has been featured in Communication Arts and 3x3 illustration annuals, and he has received two Portfolio Honor Awards from the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators.

Morgan Stanley settled the case brought by the state of Massachusetts without denying or admitting any wrongdoing. "Morgan Stanley is committed to robust compliance with both the letter and the spirit of all applicable regulations and laws," a company spokesperson said in a press release.
According to court filings, the state alleged that a senior investment banker at Morgan Stanley instructed Facebook on how to selectively present revised revenue forecasts to Wall Street analysts, even going so far as to write most of the script used by Facebook to update analysts in circumvention of laws against underwriters directly influencing provided data. That gave Wall Street investors an illicit edge, according to the state of Massachusetts.
A Facebook spokesperson said the social networking company had no comment on the case.
Multiple class action lawsuits resulted from the May 18 IPO. The suits allege that Facebook provided false and misleading statements in documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and made available to the public prior to the stock offering. In addition, according to the lawsuits, the company allegedly gave a private heads-up to lead underwriters, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, who then decreased their revenue projections. The lawsuits allege that the underwriters told a handful of select investors about the change, but not the public.
Facebook stock was trading at around $26 on NASDAQ on Dec. 21; it had debuted eight months earlier at $42.05.

A Statement of Witness Against the Culture of Violence within Our Society
In the last year our nation has again experienced many violent tragedies. While we are shocked when such events occur, but we are no longer surprised that they do happen. Our hearts are with all who have suffered as a result of these events. While tears, prayers, and many other means of support are important, there is another kind of tragedy which occurs if nothing changes. We urge lawmakers and others in positions of influence to be bold and sensitive in addressing issues related to the violence. We ask that you support moves to putting severe restrictions on the purchasing and possessing of assault weapons, and also to support improved mental health care. Together, let us join in the efforts to build communities of peace.

Dear Mr. President:
The Prescription Drug User Fee Act of 1992 (PDUFA), as amended, requires an annual financial report to Congress. Please find enclosed the Fiscal Year 2005 report which documents how the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) met each of the necessary conditions specified in PDUFA for continued collection of prescription drug user fees. Availability of these fees makes FDA better able to strengthen its drug review process and meet the performance goals established for this program.
I look forward to working with the Congress during the reauthorization of PDUFA in the coming months.
Michael O. Leavitt

Executive Summary
The Prescription Drug User Fee Amendments of 2002 requires the Food and Drug Administration (FDA or the Agency) to report annually on the financial aspects of its implementation of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act (PDUFA), as amended. This report covers fiscal year (FY) 2005.
PDUFA specifies that the following three conditions must be satisfied each year in order for FDA to collect and spend PDUFA fees:
- FDA's overall Salaries and Expenses Appropriation, excluding fees, must exceed FDA's overall FY 1997 salaries and expenses appropriation, excluding fees and adjusted for inflation.
- Fee revenues collected must be specified in Appropriation Acts.
- FDA must spend at least as much from appropriated funds for the review of human drug applications as it spent in FY 1997, adjusted for inflation, within certain tolerances.
This report describes how FDA met those specific statutory conditions or "triggers" during FY 2005. The statements and tables included in this report also provide the user fee revenues and expenditures in FY 2005, the carryover balance, and comparative data for earlier periods.
For FY 2005, FDA collected $283 million in fees, including fees collected for earlier periods. This is slightly more than the $278 million FDA projected at the beginning of the year when fees for FY 2005 were established. The higher revenue is attributable to receiving a greater than anticipated number of fee-paying applications.
In FY 2005, FDA obligated $269 million from PDUFA fee revenues. This accounted for about 56 percent of all funds obligated by FDA from all sources in support of the process for the review of human drug applications. This $269 million was about $14 million less than net collections for the year, increasing the balance of funds collected and appropriated in previous years, and still available for obligation, to $65 million at the end of FY 2005. FDA spent over 65 percent of the fee revenue for employee salaries and benefits.
Challenges facing FDA in FY 2006 include hiring, training and maintaining the staff to meet the PDUFA III goals and maintaining application review productivity. In addition, during the current fiscal year FDA must negotiate the initial terms of draft legislation to extend PDUFA beyond FY 2007 and publish this information shortly after the end of September 2006.

Basil Brush: Ballot box icon
Basil Brush, the 38-year-old television personality, is to spearhead a campaign to encourage students to vote.
The National Union of Students says that the fox is an "icon" to today's students and that his involvement will help to raise the turn-out in union elections.
Basil Brush, now old enough to have his own cubs at university, was quoted by the students' union as looking forward to his new role.
The union's national secretary, Ben Monks, was hopeful that the fox could help to persuade more students to vote in elections which begin in January, including for the union's presidency.
Showing his attraction to a younger audience, Basil Brush has received a lifetime's achievement award from the magazine, Loaded.
The puppet was created in 1963 by Peter Firmin and Ivan Owen (who died last year), with the character's raffish manner believed to have been partly based on the actor Terry Thomas.
The fox went on to appear in a show featuring magician Roy Nixon, before becoming the star of his own series.
Applauded by fan websites for his "cheeky volpine antics", Basil Brush and his assistants were watched by over 12 million viewers in their Saturday afternoon shows in the 1970s.
His assistants, always called Mister, included Rodney Bewes, Derek Fowlds and Roy North.

Taking the Plunge
Posted By rivka On October 18, 2010 @ In events | Comments Disabled
Wonderful readers: many of you have been reading since the very beginning, over three years ago, when I took the plunge into this public space. You're great, and perhaps a little crazy, for keeping on reading all this time. Sometimes I ramble, other times I disappear unexpectedly, and yet, you stick around to see what comes next. You're great like that; thank you.
Today's a day for thanks of another sort. Today I've got a ring on my finger, a wonderful wife, and a weekend full of amazing memories to carry me. D and I are the luckiest people on earth.
Yesterday was an absolutely, positively magical day. If you live in DC, you know that the weather yesterday was as perfect as DC gets. Not a cloud in the sky. Our friends are the most spirited, funny, loving bunch, and we continue to feel about as blessed as two ladies can get. Now, we're married, and we are simply filled to the brim with joy and blessing.
I guess it just proves some risks are worth taking.
photo by my amazingly talented friend Gaby Schoenfeld.
In my day-plus as a married lady, I've learned that part of the game is heeding your wife's requests. I won't be posting pictures of D. That said, I hope you enjoy the photos I do post, which hopefully will give a taste of how beautiful the day was.
(For all you curious folks out there, I promise more pictures once we have them.)
