|Turnaround Firm Cleans Up St. Louis Schools' Fiscal Mess
In one tumultuous year that began with the surprise disclosure of a $55 million deficit by the outgoing superintendent, Alvarez & Marsal of New York accomplished the following steps which had eluded previous superintendents:
"Financially, the system was flying blind," explained Vincent Schoemehl, a school board member and former mayor of St. Louis. "We've demonstrated that there is a way to connect the cultures of the private sector with the culture of urban education. I would recommend the model to any public entity that needs to refresh itself." (Education Week, 6-23-04)
An assessment by the Council of Great City Schools, while critical of many aspects of St. Louis schools, concluded that St. Louis, in hiring a professional restructuring firm, set itself apart from other cities that are "captives of their inaction." The school board made its hiring decision shortly after a new majority reform slate was voted into office.
On the heels of Roberti's departure, the school board voted to close five more schools some of which were more than half empty, and two of which had just had air conditioning installed a year earlier. In addition, the board decided in late September to adopt the phonics-based Open Court reading program.
No one would say that St. Louis's school problems have been solved. Educationally, the district has a very long way to go. But putting its fiscal house in order was a necessary first step.

Two comments on this: 1. I still would like to see a way to properly run some submodule other than `main' that is not tied to a "raco test". But probably a better place for this is a new command-line flag for the main `racket' executable, where the default for the flag would be `main'. (This should probably use the same terminology as `slice', or anything else if it changes.) Then, `raco test' could be explained as doing two things: changing the default to `test'[*], and running it recursively over a bunch of files (which is definitely suitable for testing but not for other modes). ([*]I still prefer `tests' but...) 2. It sounds dangerous to encourage using this by making drdr do it. The thing is that while the tests don't have a loading overhead, they will still add dependencies to the files. -- ((lambda (x) (x x)) (lambda (x) (x x))) Eli Barzilay: http://barzilay.org/ Maze is Life!

Berlin (UPI) Jun 10, 2010
The German navy surprisingly decommissioned more than half of its submarines, a move observers say is part of a larger effort to cut costs.
The six 500-ton U-206A-class diesel-electric submarines were retired last week and could be sold or scrapped. Their retirement date had been set to 2016 but in light of increasing pressure to cut the German defense budget by around $1.3 billion per year, the decommissioning might have been advanced. That means Germany has four U-212A-class subs left for international missions.
The Kieler Nachrichten newspaper said the decommissioning has dropped Germany from second to sixth among nations that operate non-nuclear submarines. In Europe, Turkey leads the pack with 14 subs, followed by Greece (eight), Italy and Norway (six each) and Sweden (five).
The six retired vessels were to take part in several international training and military missions, including the anti-terror Operation Active Endeavour in the Mediterranean.
The U-206As were built in the 1970s and modernized in the late 1980s by Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft and Thyssen Nordseewerke. Small and agile -- they're just more than 150 feet long -- the vessels were designed to operate in the shallow Baltic Sea, the main theater for a potential Cold War conflict with ships from the Warsaw pact.
Germany is left with a small but excellent sub fleet. The 183-foot-long U-212As, built by HDW in the late 1990s and early 2000s, are the successors of the U-206As. They're among the world's most modern non-nuclear submarines, banking on a new hybrid drive with a hydrogen fuel cell that allows them to operate fully submerged for up to three weeks. The fuel cell propulsion system is said to be vibration-free, extremely quiet and virtually undetectable.
The U-212A is especially capable of executing covert operations as it is capable of operating in depths as shallow as 55 feet, allowing it to operate much closer to shore than most contemporary submarines.
Two additional U-212As will be commissioned next year and in 2012 and enter service no later than 2015, a Navy spokesman told Defensenews.com.
Germany is one of the world's major arms exporters. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, the country is No. 3 in the global market, trumped only by Russia and the United States.
Companies including ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, Rheinmetall and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann develop high-quality submarines, ships, armored vehicles and tanks. And European Aeronautic Defense and Space Co., a multinational giant producing all kinds of airplanes and helicopters, has a strong German profile.

Many people shy away from buying generic, mostly because it's not the brand they saw on TV, or because they believe the quality is not as good. Consumers are used to seeing brand name goods on their TVs, billboards and online. Many experts claim there are zero differences in ingredients between generic and name brand. Some consumers would beg to differ, claiming there is a difference in quality, and choose to be loyal to a certain brand.
The editorial team at MyBankTracker also implemented a Money Challenge in which we spent a week buying generic products to see if there was a difference in quality and on our wallets.
There are certain items that make sense to buy generic, as they are much cheaper than their expensive counterparts. We've picked the seven most universally agreed upon items that you should buy generic. These items are among the most common household products, from things you would find in your pantry, to what powers your remote control.
Begin our slideshow to check out these high-quality generic items.

I'm not sure how much academics factored into the National Honor Society criteria back when I was in school, but I'm pretty sure these criteria included more than a 3.0 grade point average. Today, a 3.0 is all you need, as long as you meet these other criteria (from the National Honor Society website):
This quality is defined through the voluntary contributions made by a student to the school or community, done without compensation and with a positive, courteous, and enthusiastic spirit.
Student leaders are those who are resourceful, good problem solvers, promoters of school activities, idea-contributors, dependable, and persons who exemplify positive attitudes about life. Leadership experiences can be drawn from school or community activities while working with or for others.
The student of good character upholds principles of morality and ethics, is cooperative, demonstrates high standards of honesty and reliability, shows courtesy, concern, and respect for others, and generally maintains a good and clean lifestyle.
The student who demonstrates citizenship understands the importance of civic involvement, has a high regard for freedom, justice, and democracy, and demonstrates mature participation and responsibility through involvement with such activities as scouting, community organizations, and school clubs.
The curricular framework for meeting the wide range of gifted needs and abilities include these essentials:So here's my question. For the many bright introverts, bright children with Asperger's, bright but bored underachievers, and asynchronously developing gifted children out there, is there any form of "academic" distinction that doesn't impose standards of personal character that can only be met by cheerful, charismatic, organized extroverts?
Affective skills
Leadership skills
Communication skills
Creative thinking skills
Decision making skills

A commission convened by some of the country's most influential college admissions officials is recommending that colleges and universities move away from their reliance on SAT and ACT scores and shift toward admissions exams more closely tied to the high school curriculum and achievement.But then there are problems even with curriculum-based assessments. The problem with these, as I note in my book and in an earlier post, is that curricula (and even grades) are based less and less on challenging academic standards, and more and more on sociability and positive attitudes.

Washington, D.C.—Nevada Senator Harry Reid issued the following statement in celebration of Rosh Hashanah, the first of the Jewish High Holidays.
"Today, my family and I join the millions of Jewish families throughout Nevada and our nation as they gather to welcome the New Year, and pause to reflect on the events of the past year. The High Holy Days are a time to renew the ties of kinship and the bonds of friendship. They are also a time to acknowledge the suffering that continues in our own nation and around the world, and recommit ourselves to the universal values of mitzvot and tzedakah.
"From our earliest days as a country, Jewish families have celebrated this holiday. As their family ties have bound together people and communities throughout the generations, so too has our commitment to the State of Israel persevered. Each new year will bring new challenges, but throughout the years, our commitment to the State of Israel will remain unshakeable.
"L'shanah tova – for a good new year full of health, peace and happiness."

" Address: Thornbarrow Road / Windermere / Lake District / Cumbria / LA23 2DF / Telephone: 44 (0)1539 443 636 "
I've just got back from a long weekend in the Lake District. You might question the wisdom of going to the Lakes for a weekend of watersports and outdoor activities in wintry March, and you'd be right to do so! However, the gale force winds, hail and snow were made bearable by the excellent Hillthwaite House Hotel where we were staying. The hotel was an absolute haven!
The hotel is a family run business and has about thirty rooms. We were staying on a special weekend offer and paid £185 each for three nights, including bed, breakfast and dinner. The hotel is in Windermere and is about a fifteen minute drive from the M6. It has a swimming pool, sauna and steam room.
Getting There
The hotel had sent a brochure after I booked on the phone and the brochure had a map on the back so I wasn't expecting any navigational issues when getting to the hotel, but I was wrong. The map, however, was pretty useless so we ended up having to ask for directions from the tourist information office. The hotel was a two minute walk from the centre of Windermere so was ideally located, however, the only problem is that the hotel is situated on top of a very steep hill, the road to which is only wide enough for one car at a time. I wouldn't have wanted to attempt ascending that hill in the dead of winter!
My review has been a bit negative so far, but that is all about to change! Dinner (which was included in the price we had paid) was served every night in the restaurant. There were no less than five, yes that's right, I said five, courses! We pre-ordered dinner during the day which meant that there was no fuss over ordering and we didn't ever have to wait for ages to get served. Each night we were at the hotel there was a completely different menu on offer, and all the dishes my friends and I had can only be described as exquisite! Most of the food had a French theme and would probably be described as being quite fancy but I couldn't fault it. Portion sizes of posh food are often on the small side for my liking, but not in this restaurant. The service was fantastic too - all of the staff were friendly without being over-familiar. My only slight issue with the restaurant would be that it was exceptionally quiet - background music does play in the restaurant but very quietly. It was hard to have a conversation at a normal level of volume without feeling that everyone else in the room could hear exactly what you were saying. Most people dressed for dinner but you still wouldn't feel out of place in jeans and a t-shirt.
We were staying in basic rooms (hence the cheap price!) but they were more than adequate. Decoration was tasteful and the rooms all the features you would expect - TV/phone/hairdryer/bath/shower/tea/coffee etc etc. The room I was staying in was really near to reception so there was a bit of noise, but it's not the kind of hotel where you get large groups of rowdy nightclubbers coming in at all hours, so it wasn't really a problem. Superior rooms are also available - these boast stunning views of Lake Windermere and have Jacuzzi baths.
Service in the hotel was of an excellent standard. Reception staff were really helpful and always willing to go out of their way to assist with directions or with suggestions of what to do in the area. We hadn't brought a map with us and the staff were happy to lend us one. There was a really friendly atmosphere in the hotel - probably due to the fact that it is run by a family.
Value for Money
The price we were paying worked out as £60 per night which was exceptionally good value for a hotel of this standard. We felt like we were staying somewhere really posh but the price didn't match this. I would have expected to pay at least £30 for a meal in a restaurant of this standard so that meant we were getting our rooms for only £30 a night.
Overall - definitely recommended!
Just a short walk from Lake Windermere, Englands largest natural lake.

If there are any guy out there curious about getting this type of piercing, feel free to contact my about any questions you may have.
Both times I got pierced down there, it has been quick and almost painless to get. You have to decide how long you want your barbell to be and where exactly you want it done. I thought real hard about where I wanted mine and how it would change the way I have sex and how it would best feel good for my partner.
The things I like about my piercings are how they make sex a better feeling for me and the woman I am with. The middle barbell rubs inside the woman while I am going in and out. The barbell close to the base of my shaft, I can put a vibrating barbell in so that it makes the whole shaft vibrate like a woman's toy. At the same time, it makes the barbell inside vibrate.
I have to make sure to keep my piercings clean and it is important to make sure the woman is very lubricated before inserting myself inside her. I made sure to give myself at least 3 weeks to heal after getting the piercings, before I had sex.

Click here to see frenum piercings pictures or videos.
Does the piercing not come in the way and obstruct the smooth in and out movement of the penis during sex...? Does the barbell not rub against the vaginal walls and cause injuries inside...?
The penis looks nice with the barbells.......
As long as I make sure the woman is ready for penetration, there have not been any problems. That is also why it is important to consider how long you want the barbell to be. If you notice on mine, the length does not go past the width of the shaft. It is also another reason why the in the middle of the shaft shorter than the one closer to the base.
I made sure that the balls at the end of the barbells were also of a small size. They are not solid barbell ends. They are the ones with the smaller rattle ball on the inside. When I put a vibrating barbell in the lower piercing, not only does it make the shaft vibrate like a woman's toy, but it makes the small rattles inside the higher barbell vibrate while inside the woman. If you add me as a friend, there are more pictures in my personal gallery
Nice frenum piercings; good to hear you're pleased with them!
"Very little of what we say is important, but if not careful, much of what we say can be harmful."
Nice Frenum, I'm waiting for the rattlebell to put it in right below the head. Looking forward to the first time with the misses.

I can log in to cca before the issue.
I made some changes to login policy of company ASP Service, to which user admin belong. After this change, user admin can not log in to cca anymore.
I restored the changes to company ASP Service, but i still can not log in to cca, so i posted it here.
Occasionally, i disabled the agent cache option of company ASP Service in AM, then i can log in to cca.

The Short Version:
N||GGA it shrinks 2" inches max. I WAS RIGHT.
Of course specific to 710xx.
Um... not quite... The denim, due to weave and other factors, will shrink about 1" (possibly just a bit more) with the regulated hot soak. You could probably get another half inch out of the waist if you give them hot soak + machine dry, but that's really quite irrelevant. You can e-mail Gordon and ask him, and I'm almost sure that he'll say what I said. Ask other samurai 19oz samurai denim wearers how much initial shrinkage they had (not hypebeast members; chances are, they can't measure), and I will stand corrected if one of them actually says they shrank 2 inches in the waist (they will not). Also, that's not specific to the 710, its specific to the 19oz samurai denim, the cut has a negligible effect on the amount of shrinkage.

The importance of this feature, as President Orton pointed out in these pages a few months ago, can not be overestimated.
The foregoing are the most important of Mr. Orton's statements.
"He was director of the Darwin Bank," answered Orton, discomfited.
I am indebted to Mr. Orton for a letter on the same subject.
"Furth" was a word used by the inhabitants of Orton long ago.
And you'll be specially fond of Mrs. Orton Beg when you know her, I fancy.
Orton bought a revolver to guard it with, and nearly shot one of his priceless feet off with it.
"No," muttered Orton, for he feared such a step might prove successful.
She and Orton rode home in a hack and she cried all the way.
Orton Campbell threw himself back in his chair and eyed Jones.

Nick Lachey has been spotted with Laguna Beach's Kristin Cavallari
Since splitting from Jessica Simpson, Hollywood guy Nick Lachey has been romantically linked to several women. And recently the handsome man was spotted with US reality TV star Kristin Cavalleri. The two some reportedly had been in the same restaurants and parties.
Nevertheless, "there's nothing to talk about, there's nothing going on," Cavallari revealed while adding "He's a nice guy, but I'd have to say we're just friends." Strengthen the statement released by the beauty, a friend of Lachey's said "Nick is not looking for a girlfriend or anything serious. He is a single guy now."

With the demise of Kei Nishikori, the French Open men's draw lost its first single-figure seed early on a damp second day at Roland Garros.
The Japanese ninth seed, a finalist in Madrid and winner of his first career claycourt title in Barcelona earlier this season, was upset 7-6 (7-1), 6-1, 6-2 by Slovakian Martin Klizan in a match delayed by rain for more than an hour.
Now coached by 1989 French champion Michael Chang, Nishikori was outplayed by the 2006 French boys' champion after a tight first set, perhaps still troubled slightly by the back problem that caused his retirement against Rafael Nadal in Madrid and then kept him out of the subsequent Rome Masters.
Nishikori blamed his recent lack of practice for the poor performance.
"First time playing points after Madrid, so I didn't have much rhythm. And also serve, I didn't hit any serve 100 per cent, you know, before today. So I thought it's going to get better, get more rhythm after couple sets, but I couldn't. So I couldn't do anything today.
"I knew this is going to be happen. But (I was) able to finish the match. I was playing well on clay in Europe, so it's very sad for me to lose first round here. But, you know, it's good I didn't have another injury.''
Meanwhile, Maria Sharapova's problem is not injury, now that her latest shoulder issues are behind her, or form, or her recent record on the surface where she once described herself as moving like a "cow on ice". Instead, it is the fact that the 2012 champion is likely to collide with her nemesis, Serena Williams, in the quarter-finals.
Seventh-seeded Sharapova appeals as the second favourite behind defending champion Williams for the title, but could face Australian Open finalist Dominika Cibulkova - who beat Virginie Razzano 7-5, 6-0 on Monday - in the fourth round for the right to play Williams in the last eight.
Sharapova is 12-1 on clay this season, garnering titles in Stuttgart and Madrid, having lost last year's Roland Garros final to Williams in straight sets. A rematch, at this stage, is far from her mind, with a 6-1, 6-2 drubbing of Russian qualifier Ksenia Pervak carrying her only as far as a second round against Tsvetana Pironkova.
"It's tough to think about that match down the line where you have to compete in three matches before that, you know, three more,'' Sharapova said. "Obviously it's a match that many people always look forward to when we play against each other.
"But in many ways, it doesn't matter if it's fourth round or the quarter-final, semis, final. I mean, there is only one champion at a tournament. So it's not really about when you face somebody. It's about who comes through.''
On Monday, Sharapova did so. Comfortably. "I think going into a first-round match at a Grand Slam, you want to be solid, you want to do the things you need to do. It's never easy, no matter how good you're feeling before or bad you're feeling. It's just a different story once you get on the court. I thought I did what I had to do very well.''

In a world where computers increasingly define and control our life, the codes that are running them should not be secret and under exclusive control of some multinational copyright holders. Free Software is open for everybody to understand, to use and to modify. It allows the free flow of creativity, serves democracy and social justice and contributes to create a free society.
Richard Stallman has been called the "philosopher king of software". He is an internationally reputed computer scientist and powerful speaker, lecturing all around the world. His many awards include the MacArthur-Foundation "Genius Grant" Fellowship in Computer Science (1990) and the Takeda Award in Techno-Entrepreneurial Achievements for Social / Economic Well-Being (2001, shared with Ken Sakamura and Linus Torvalds). He earned a B A from Harvard University and was a researcher of M.I.T.'s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. He resigned in protest of increasingly restrictive copyright policy and launched the revolutionary GNU Project. GNU with Linux was the first freely distributable operating system with source code protected by the GNU GPL.

The liberal media's attempt to paint Republicans as a party in crisis continues, this time with fresh ammunition from the Republican National Committee's "Growth & Opportunity Project." The recently-released report provides a critical review of what went wrong in the 2012 election cycle and how the party can improve its effort to win future elections.
On Monday's PBS NewsHour, the taxpayer-subsidized PBS network brought on Susan Page from USA Today and Stuart Rothenberg of The Rothenberg Political Report to rip into the Republican Party. Or, as anchor Gwen Ifill put it, the guests were there "to talk about how deep the party's fissures go."
Page trotted out the usual admonishment that Republicans must evolve with the times: "In an America that is increasingly diverse and younger, [the party has] chartered an appeal that will not be able to win a national election unless they change course."
Rothenberg echoed this sentiment, projecting it onto party members themselves: "You get the sense that there are many people in the Republican Party that believe this is an unusually difficult period that they face, and that the future is rather bleak unless they make some dramatic changes."
Ifill then asked whether the report talked about changing the party's message or changing policies. To which Page replied, "Well, a lot of this talked about message, but I wonder if they're correct." Uh oh. Here comes the lecture from a journalist who believes she knows what's best for the GOP. She continued, "I mean, you can talk about putting something in a nice box, but if the contents of the box haven't changed, I'm not sure it appeals to people."
Following this analogy, one could argue that Democrats are able to sell their brand precisely because of their beautiful, shiny box. After all, they promote the equal validity of all lifestyles and viewpoints (except conservatism) in the name of "tolerance." Who doesn't want to be tolerant, right? They promote a massive welfare state in the name of helping the poor. Who doesn't want to help the poor?
As a non-commercial enterprise, PBS is in theory supposed to care not about packaging and marketing but about substance. This is supposed to be especially true of its news content. Yet here we have the folks at PBS focusing simply on the external packaging of the major political parties rather than the policies they prescribe.
American voters deserve deeper political analysis on PBS than the warmed-over pablum that they can get elsewhere on commercial broadcast television.
Below is a partial transcript of the segment:
GWEN IFILL: Joining us now to talk about how deep the party's fissures go are Susan Page, Washington bureau chief for U.S.A. Today, and Stuart Rothenberg of the Rothenberg Political Report and Roll Call. To listen to Jeb Bush and Reince Priebus talk, Susan, I got the sense that they were giving a belated rebuttal to the Mitt Romney 47% will never vote for us argument.
SUSAN PAGE: And look what they called this. They called this an autopsy on the Republican party. On whom do you do an autopsy? Something that's dead. I think that Reince Priebus, Jeb Bush and other establishment Republicans feel that the party has gone seriously astray. And in an America that is increasingly diverse and younger, it's chartered an appeal that will not be able to win a national election unless they change course.
IFILL: How unusual was it for you to read something 100 pages worth of that much – I think I called it unsparing criticism.
STUART ROTHENBERG: Right. It was very forthright and forthcoming as to the party's problems. Susan and I were talking about this. We have seen parties go through this angst over the years, over the decades. But you get the sense that there are many people in the Republican party that believe this is an unusually difficult period that they face, and that the future is rather bleak unless they make some dramatic changes.
IFILL: Are they talking message or are they talking policy?
PAGE: Well, a lot of this talked about message, but I wonder if they're correct. I mean, you can talk about putting something in a nice box but if the contents of the box haven't changed, I'm not sure it appeals to people. You can talk about spending $10 million on outreach to minority groups. But if you don't change the policies that have prompted a lot of minorities, African-Americans, Hispanic, Asian-Americans to go with the Democratic party, I'm not sure it has an effect.
IFILL: I remember hearing about the big tent many years ago.
ROTHENBERG: Well, part of this is about mechanics. It's about how many phone calls and who makes the calls and the amount of data you have and microtargeting and things like that. And that I think the national party can talk about and do and raise money for. I think Susan's right and you're right that the problem is the message and whether this is a big tent party or not. This report was clearly written by big tent folks. When you look at the people who are involved in drawing it together, a top ally of Jeb Bush, Ari Fleischer who is a big tent Republican. The national committeewoman from Puerto Rico. The national committeeman from South Carolina who happens to be African-American. These are folks who understand the party has a message problem. The problem is that there are lots of Republicans and conservatives who think a different message is the better message.

Ivy League Release
PHILADELPHIA - Junior high jumper Maalik Reynolds earned All-Ivy accolades for the fifth time in his career on Wednesday as announced by the league office. He finished second for the University of Pennsylvania men's track and field team on Sunday at the 2013 Indoor Heptagonal Championships.
Reynolds, a four-time Heps champion, was named second-team All-Ivy after he matched Cornell's Montez Blair throughout Sunday's high jump event. Reynolds passed on the first four bars. At that point, there were only four competitors remaining, including freshman teammate Thomas Pitt. Reynolds cleared 2.12 meters (6 feet, 11 1/2 inches) on his first attempt of the day.
Reynolds and Blair were the only two left when the bar was raised to 2.16 meters (7-01 ft.). Blair was over on his second attempt and Reynolds kept the event going when he cleared the bar on his third and final jump. However, neither competitor was able to cleanly pass the bar at 2.20 meters and Blair took home the Heps title with fewer misses on the previous bar.
This is the fifth All-Ivy honor for the Atlanta, Ga., native. Reynolds is a four-time first-team honoree, holds the indoor and outdoor school records in the high jump and is a three-time All-American.

In Singapore, the hijab is more commonly referred to with the Malay word 'tudung', which simply means a covering. In October this year, a petition was started on Avaaz.org by a "Syafiqah K." to allow Muslim women in Singapore to wear tudung (hijab) in the workplace. It aimed to reach 20,000 signatures, but was closed down recently with about 7600 signatures short of its goal. It was originally planned to be sent to several figures in the government.As of today, the Singapore government has wh … [Read more...]

Saudi women bridge the gender gap
November 11, 2008 by
A U.A.E.-based newspaper, The National, published a story yesterday about increasing numbers of Saudi women entering the workplace (read here). While this isn't the first story written about Saudi women in the workforce, it is one of the best written ones I've seen. There is no presumption of Western superiority in regards to women in the workplace, something seen far too often in stories about women in the Muslim world, and cultural attitudes aren't confused with Islamic norms, something also … [Read more...]

On December 26, 1996, six-year old JonBenet Ramsey was reported missing, the victim of an apparent kidnapping, and later found dead in the basement of her Boulder, CO home. A bizarre ransom note and mismanaged investigation has led to over a decade and a half of speculation, most of it focused on JonBenet's parents, John and Patsy, and even her older brother, Burke, and what role, if any, they played in the child beauty pageant star's death. Most theories implicating one (or more) of the Ramseys allege sexual and/or physical abuse.
Are you laughing yet?
Of course, most, if not all, of the above true crime story is familiar to us, as is the media frenzy that surrounded it. That frenzy and the absurdity it fostered in this unfortunate case is where Medium Face Productions' JonBenet Murder Mystery Theater trolls for its humor.
The show opens with three JonBenets speaking to the audience from the afterlife – posing the question "Who killed me?" From there the play alternates between the Ramsey family discovering JonBenet's body and trying to figure out what to do with it so they can get on to their DisneyLand vacation – all while hurling sexually-charged accusations at each other – and a TV reporter, Cougar Jones, who stalks the family's house determined to discover the truth of the murder.
And they sing. Oh yes, they sing. The best moments of this show are its satirical folksy acoustic guitar-driven numbers about the Ramsey family's bizarre (mostly sexual) idiosyncrasies. John is portrayed as a wonton pedophile, Patsy a jealous drunk and Burke a manic child who desperately wants to take JonBenet's place in his father's sexual favor.
The play is crass, irreverent, satirical, haphazard … and occasionally funny. Bob McSmith deadpans John Ramsey's pedophilic obsession and Mary Croshie does a nice turn as a Stepford Wife who could be every bit as dangerous as her husband. April Kidwell as Cougar Jones even gets in on the singing, her best moment a fun song about possibly getting an STD from Geraldo Rivera (to the tune of David Bowie's "Space Oddity"). Tobly McSmith is frenetic to the point of grating as the sexually frustrated/confused Burke.
The best moment of the show is its closing number, the Avenue Q-reminiscent (and I'm paraphrasing the title) "Everybody Gets Molested Every Now and Then."
So, who killed JonBenet Ramsey? JonBenet's Murder Mystery Theater draws as many definitive conclusions as the real world legal system: none. It doesn't add up to much, but it also doesn't seem to intend to. It's 50 minutes of camp, shock humor and dirty absurdity that seems, in some ways, the logical end for this story after churning through our contemporary news media machine for 16 years.

Rakoff said the company "has made laudable progress" since the charges were brought.
Officials with WorldCom and the Securities and Exchange Commission declined to comment before the hearing.
The SEC has charged WorldCom with fraud for misleading investors by misstating and hiding expenses.
WorldCom has admitted to at least $US9 billion ($A16.1 billion) in erroneous accounting.
Four WorldCom executives have pleaded guilty to their roles in the accounting misstatements that plunged the telecommunications giant into bankruptcy.
Rakoff has already approved a settlement with two of those executives, former controller David Myers and former accounting executive Buford Yates.
WorldCom, whose MCI unit is the No 2 US long-distance company with 20 million customers, filed the largest bankruptcy in US corporate history in July.
Myers and Yates are cooperating with the Manhattan US attorney's office probe of the telecommunications giant.
In their earlier pleas in Manhattan federal court, Myers and Yates said the orders to falsify WorldCom's ledgers came from top levels of corporate management.
Former chief financial officer Scott Sullivan has been indicted, but has maintained his innocence.

Want to make a complaint?
All complaints about the BBC, our programmes and services should be sent via the BBC Complaints website. bbc.co.uk/complaints
How do you decide what goes on air?
We start with a daily 0810 editorial meeting to discuss the day's news so far plus what's in the "diary" - a list of court cases and events in Parliament. Reporters and staff suggest ideas - and the editors decide what to cover. It's often your opinion that makes the final difference; strong emails, texts or online reaction to a story make us more likely to do it.
Why is your style so different from the rest of BBC news?
Because that's the way you like it. We've done a great deal of research into exactly what you want from Newsbeat. You tell us you want a good digest of the issues that matter to you. You're after complex stories explained well. Entertainment news and sport play a big part on Radio 1 News because that's what our listeners are into.
Some people say the BBC is 'dumbing down' stories - what do you say to that?
We aim to give clear explanations of complex issues, in modern English. We don't like tabloid language or clichés. We avoid jargon and use slang sparingly. Our extensive research shows listeners appreciate this approach and style.
Where do you find contributors?
Our reporters have impressive contacts which they've built up over time. Our planning team also have a fantastic database of contributors and we develop this all the time.
Do the reporters really go to where they say they are, or is it just sound effects?
We never fake it. Absolutely we are on location - we like our reporters to be out "in the field" every day. The best way to get the truth of what's happening is often to get to the scene and talk to the people who experienced the event. We've recently been to Iraq, Israel, Afghanistan, Poland, Ibiza, Jamaica and Crete. We have permanent reporters in LA, New York, Leeds and Manchester and a satellite vehicle so we can broadcast from anywhere in the UK.
Who is responsible for what goes out, and who takes the blame if you broadcast something that isn't correct?
The editor takes the blame if anything goes wrong because he is ultimately responsible for everything on Newsbeat. We do check what we broadcast several times before it goes on air.
Do you take work experience people?
If you'd like work experience at Newsbeat or anywhere at the BBC visit BBC Jobs. Know a lot about the area you are applying to - and be willing and enthusiastic if you get the chance to do it.
How can I suggest an idea for Newsbeat?
You're very welcome to use the form at the top of the page (not available on mobile phones).
What is a typical day like in the Newsbeat office?
It's a long day and very tough. Reporters are usually up at around 6am so they can read papers, get a good knowledge of the day's news and do background reading and research before they arrive in the office at 8am.
After the editorial meeting they're on the road or train to stories around the country. They have to supply short pieces for hourly news summaries in between doing interviews, scripting their piece, producing it, having it checked by the duty editor and then sent back for broadcast via satellite, radio car or mobile phone file transfer.
They have to provide longer pieces for Newsbeat at 1245 and 1745 and for our sister station 1Xtra. If the story is ongoing they'll stay with it overnight and for several days on end if necessary... otherwise it's travelling back to base which may make their working days 12 or 15 hours long.
Do the entertainment reporters actually get to go to premieres and parties?
Yes they do! Most nights in fact.....
Are the presenters friends with the DJs?
Yes - there are lots of strong friendships across all levels of staff at Radio 1 - including between DJs and news presenters.
The BBC may edit your comments and not all emails will be published. Your comments may be published on any BBC media worldwide.

Malaria kills one to three million people worldwide each year, and the quest for an effective and safe vaccine poses unique scientific challenges. The Malaria Research Program at the Emory Vaccine Center applies a global approach to this problem. The program encompasses basic research aimed at understanding the parasite and the disease, pre-clinical vaccine testing in mice and non-human primates, as well as clinical studies involving people living in malaria-endemic regions. Of paramount importance is the inclusion of systems biology approaches.
Scientists identify and evaluate optimal malaria vaccine candidates, develop delivery systems for selected targets and study their safety and immunogenicity, paving the way for eventual clinical trials. A major focus is on understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern and regulate antigenic variation of parasite proteins encoded by multigene families, and the relationship of these proteins to the virulence of the parasite and its ability to evade the immune system. A commitment to deepening our understanding of malaria infections and the pathogenesis of the disease is at the core of much of the research.
The EVC's Malaria Research Program was established by Dr. Mary Galinski beginning at the time of the opening of the vaccine center premises in 1999. Key to the success of the program are the unique specialized scientific backgrounds of its investigators in P. falciparum and P. vivax malaria vaccine target discovery, basic molecular biology and molecular evolution studies with an emphasis on understanding the invasiveness and pathogenic characteristics of the parasite in non-human primate models as well as humans, basic immunology with experience in designing and implementing both pre-clinical and clinical malaria vaccine trials, entomology expertise, and over 25 years of combined experience working in malaria endemic communities. This research group is among only a few worldwide with the ability to study in depth both of the major human malaria species, several non-human primate malaria species, and rodent malarias. The comparative analysis of each of these diverse infections allows for a broad and in depth understanding of the parasite and the disease.
Scientists researching malaria at the EVC work closely with Yerkes' investigators and the veterinary staff at the Yerkes National Primate Research Center. Joint investigations have included the testing of malaria vaccine candidates for the US Naval Medical Research Program and the Malaria Vaccine Initiative (MVI) at PATH (Program for Appropriate Technology in Health); pathogenesis studies of malaria in pregnant rhesus monkeys, and studies of anemia caused by malaria. This groupalso collaborates locally with other scientists at Emory, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Georgia. Additionally, the EVC malaria scientists interface with collaborators from other US institutions, Australia, Brazil, Colombia, India, Papua New Guinea, Singaporeand several countries in Africa and Europe..

Anatomy of Uvea by Parthopratim Dutta Majumder
Uvea is the middle vascular coat of eye ball. From anterior to posterior, the uvea or uveal tract can be divided into three parts- Iris, Ciliary body and choroid. The name "uvea" has originated from Latin word grape. Why a grape? If the stem is removed from a grape, the hole looks like the pupil and the grape the eyeball.
Iris :
Iris is the anterior most part of the uveal tract. It is a thin and circular structure which forms a diaphragm like structure in front of the crystalline lens. The word "iris" has originated from a Greek word. In Greek mythology the iris is the name of Greek goddess of rainbow.
The diaphragm formed by iris contains a central aperture known as pupil. The location of the pupil is not exactly central, its little nasal to the center. The pupil determines the amount of light entering the eye. The normal size of pupillary aperture is 3-4 mm. Details on pupil will be discussed in chapter "Pupil".
Iris is attached to the middle of anterior surface of ciliary body. The iris divides the space in front of the lens into anterior chamber and posterior chamber.
Topography of IRIS: Average diameter of the iris is 10 to 11 mm. It is thickest at collarette, which is located approximately 1.5 mm from the pupillary margin and thinnest at iris root, the part of iris which joins with the ciliary body. The thickness of iris root is approximately 0.5 mm.
During blunt trauma, damage to iris occurs most commonly at the iris root, where the iris rips away from the ciliary body
Anterior surface of the iris is divided into a pupillary zone and a ciliary zone by a circular ridge, located 1.5 mm away from pupillary margin, called collarette (also known as iris frill).
Collarette is the site of foetal pupillary membrane attachment.
Pupillary Zone: Pupillary zone extends from pupillary margin to collarette. Pupillary zone is relatively flat. Pupillary margin is marked by a dark border, known as pupillary ruff. Pupillary ruff is the anterior termination of the pigmented layer, which lines the posterior surface of iris.
Ciliary Zone: Ciliary zone of iris extends from collarette to iris root. There are some depressions or pit arranged in rows present in this area known as crypts. Crypts are found in two locations. Those present near collarette are relatively larger and known as Fuchs's crypt and few are seen in periphery of the iris.
In laser iridotomy, the opening is created in areas of iris crypts, as it requires less amount of energy in these thinnest areas of iris thickness.
Posterior surface of Iris: Posterior surface of the iris is much more uniform.Posterior surface of the iris is darker than the anterior surface and shows numerous radial contraction folds. However circular folds are also seen.

Gingered Butternut Squash Soup with Spicy Pecan Cream
Dean Fearing loves the holiday feel of butternut squash, especially when it's combined with ginger, as it is for his smooth, gently sweet soup. He tops it with whipped cream flecked with chopped pecans for a number of reasons: "Usually holiday soups have a dollop of cream—adding pecans gives it a dollop of flavor. And crunch. I think everything should have a little bit of crunch to it. Plus, this is Texas, and pecans are Texas."
Slideshow: Chef Holiday Recipes Made Easy
Slideshow: More Squash Dishes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 12
- 2 large butternut squash (5 1/2 pounds), halved lengthwise and seeded
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 3/4 cup pecans (2 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 large onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
- 1 small fennel bulb—halved, cored and cut into 1/2-inch dice
- One 1 1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
- 6 cups chicken stock
- One 14-ounce can of unsweetened coconut milk
- 3/4 cup chilled heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon hazelnut oil
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°. Rub the cut sides of the squash with the olive oil and set them, cut side down, on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake the squash for about 1 hour, or until very tender. Remove from the oven and let stand until cool enough to handle. Spoon the squash flesh into a large bowl; discard the skins.
In a pie plate, toast the pecans for about 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant; let the nuts cool.
In a large pot, melt the butter. Add the onion, fennel and ginger and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the squash and the chicken stock, cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Uncover the pot and continue cooking until the squash starts to fall apart, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut milk.
Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse the pecans until they are finely chopped. In a medium bowl, beat the cream until soft peaks form. Fold in the chopped pecans, hazelnut oil and cayenne pepper and season with salt.
Working in batches, puree the squash soup in a blender until smooth. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with a dollop of the pecan cream and serve.
Make Ahead
The soup can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. Reheat gently, adding a little chicken stock to thin the soup.
Suggested Pairing
A fruity, aromatic Viognier will have enough body to stand up to this rich soup. Try one from Texas or Napa Valley.

Do you have clinical data about the surface area that can be treated with the standard applicator in centimeters? How about the dimensions with the large applicator? Knowing how much area can be treated will help me plan my visit and budget. thanks
Zeltiq CoolSculpting - What Are the Dimensions of the Area That Can Be Treated?
Doctor Answers 4
Choosing the best applicator for your Coolsculpting Treatment
When you consult for coolsculpting a clinical exam is done. We measure the area based on which applicators would fit best to determine the course of treatment. That is why an in office consultation is the only way to determine the best fitting applicator and treatment plan and price.
Learn more: http://www.michelegreenmd.com/coolsculpting-nyc
Applicators of CoolSculpting by Zeltiq are chosen by contour and size
It is not only size that is evaluated, but more importantly, the contour and fit of the applicator on your body. The bony framework of the hips may preclude one applicator from fitting well despite it being of a good size for you and a different applicator would be chosen based on your examination.

CoolSculpting Applicators
Thank you for your question. It is difficult to give you dimentions of what can/cannot be treated with the different sized applicators. It is very important to have the consultation with the doctor so that they can show you on your body exactly what areas can be treated. The patient's history must be taken into account as well as their goals, skin elasticity, etc. Best to be seen and examined. That way, you can get the most precise information. Best Wishes!

Dimensions of the Area That Can Be Treated.
We get this question all the time on the phone! What is hard for me to describe is the three dimensional aspect of the different applicators. When we do a free consult, we first ask a medical history to see is there are any contraindications. Then we asess the area the patient wants to treat with a set of templates which are similar to the applicators. We also need to see the quality of the skin and fat since if the area is looser, usually you get a more dramatic result since more fat can be sucked into the applicator. I think the best thing for you to do is to go to an office that offers complimentary consultations for a true evaluation since everyone's fat is so surprisingly different!
