RetailMeNot's "Do the Math" Campaign Highlights Recent Education Budget Cuts and How Parents Are Increasingly Bombarded With School-Related Costs
- 95% of parents will have to contribute to their kids' classroom supplies because of school budget cuts
- In addition to tuition costs, the average parent estimates that they will spend another $285 per child for school related costs this fall
- Nearly 3 in 4 parents start back-to-school shopping before the end of July
Aug 06, 2013, 06:50 ET from RetailMeNot.com
AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 6, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- RetailMeNot.com (www.retailmenot.com), the largest digital coupon website in the United States, today released its findings from a recent back-to-school survey on the upcoming school year. Continuing with the "Do the Math" campaign, more in-depth data is being released on the impact of nationwide education budget cuts and how they are increasingly affecting parents.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130312/DA74245LOGO)
As previously reported, a recent study from the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities demonstrated how elementary, middle and high schools in 26 states received less state funding in the 2012–13 school year than they did the year before. In fact, in 35 states, school funding was below 2008 levels. In addition to teachers' funding more of the cost of education out of their own pockets, parents are facing increased pressure to supplement the cost of their child's education this year.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average household income has been decreasing over the past several years. As of 2011, the median household income was $50,054, a 1.5% decline from the previous year and the second consecutive annual decline. Despite these significant drops in household income, according to our study, parents also have to bear the burden of education budget cuts for their kids in the classroom.
The RetailMeNot study was conducted with The Omnibus Company (www.omnibus.com) and follows the recent survey released on the impact of budget cuts on teachers.
In short supply
Of those parents surveyed, 95% say they will have to buy or contribute to their child's classroom because of their school's budget cuts.
- Almost half of parents (45%) will have to supply their kids with basic cleaning supplies, such as paper towels.
- Parents will be getting a jump on the flu season, with 47% saying they will supply their own antibacterial products.
- Working parents and parents with a yearly income of $50K+ think they will have to contribute to the purchase of sports equipment (34% vs. 29%, respectively), musical instruments (26% vs. 25%), iPads (23% vs. 24%), computer software (20% vs. 18%) and uniforms (42% vs. 23%).
Are budgets practical?
Eight in ten (80%) parents typically set a back-to-school budget every fall, less than a quarter (23%) of these parents are likely to come in under this budget.
- Younger parents are keen on saving money, with ages 18–34 being more likely than those 35 and over to set a budget and come in under it (27% vs. 9%).
- Parents with an income under $50K are more likely than those with an income $50K+ to set a budget and stick to it (37% vs. 26%).
- Almost 4 in 10 parents (37%) with an income $50K+ are likely to set a budget and go over it.
How many hundreds will be spent?
When their children in grades K–12 return to class this fall, the average parent estimates that, in addition to tuition costs, they will spend another $285 per child on school-related costs. And more than 1 in 5 (21%) imagine that they will have to invest more than $300 per child on additional school related costs.
- Fathers are banking on a higher per-child cost than mothers ($333 vs. $247).
- Parents with an income of $50K+ are likely to spend more than those with income under $50K (average $368 vs. $217).
- Working parents are likely to spend more than nonworking parents (average $325 vs. $216).
"The financial pressures that have been placed on the backs of parents due to budget cuts can mean a difficult start to the school year," says Trae Bodge, senior editor for The Real Deal by RetailMeNot. "It's important for parents to start shopping early and plan their back-to-school needs well in advance so they can set a budget and try to stick to it. Using coupons from a site like RetailMeNot.com can help parents significantly stretch their dollars so they can buy more of the things their kids need."
When to shop?
Nearly 3 in 4 parents (71%) start school shopping for the upcoming school year by the end of July.
- Early shoppers! Parents in urban areas (16%), parents ages 18–34 (14%) and working parents (12%) are more likely shop before the previous school year ends.
- Parents with an income under $50K are more likely than those with an income of $50K+ to have started shopping by the end of July (52% vs. 41%) and before the previous school year ends (14% vs. 6%).

Survey Methodology:
This survey was conducted between May 22 and May 28, 2013, among 306 parents of children in the U.S., in grades K–12, using an email invitation and an online survey. Results of any sample are subject to sampling variation. The magnitude of the variation is measurable and is affected by the number of interviews and the level of the percentages expressing the results. In this particular study, the chances are 95 in 100 that a survey result does not vary, plus or minus, by more than 5.6 percentage points from the result that would be obtained if interviews had been conducted with all persons in the universe represented by the sample. The margin of error for any subgroups will be slightly higher.

It would be such an honor. I just noticed he/you is/are was/is at 1899. Perhaps I made this thread celebrating this in time.
There will be no statue of Keeanu Reeves (if I spelled that right) for you! We will gladly provide an NSYNC fingerboard or plastic green army truck. All are great and brought to you by TransWorld and Swell Info.
You are now sponsored by oxygen as well! You can breathe all that you want! Don't do it too much though. Too much of anything is not a good thing...

Ok, despite my efforts, this post took place elsewhere. I am devastated. Ima go surf now. Done talking to myself. asdf jkl;
I place my hands in the proper places on my keyboard. This is how I celebrate my 259th post.
Posts should be a reason for celebration! Emass, I look forward to 2,000. Please make it count. This is not hate, but something for me to look forward to. In the meantime, I will start a thread about the type of wetsuit I think YOU wear. Hmmm, the imagination runs wild in times like these.

I read this forum for years but never joined, until I saw one of Emass's threads. So I also thank you
Nov 22, 2013, 08:50 PM #5
Braddahs, just seeing this now. Don't know whether to laugh or make someone cry. Gracias for the respek. I'd caution about starting complete threads about me though. There are far too many good topics that we don't want forumites deterred from. Maybe this is just lighting a fire under my arse to put forth top performance and content.
As for sponsorships, I will have to defer to my attorney. His name is PB&J and you know where to find him.
Is he the next NJshredmachine or what?

- How to Read a Study Record
Mesalamine is commonly used to induce and maintain remission in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Behavioral and psycho-social barriers to mesalamine adherence exist in patients with IBD. These factors can be identified using qualitative testing in order to develop a validated instrument to measure the "adherence profile" of an individual patient, and design appropriate behavioral interventions to reduce non-adherence.
To test a novel interview instrument that determines the medication adherence profile of patients with IBD prescribed mesalamine by correlating with objective measures of adherence

Times taxing poor ScroogeVANCOUVER -- Finance Minister Ebenezer Scrooge VI stared from his office window at the unpopulated square below. The building was empty, silent. His face was a study. Reflective? Troubled? Conflicted? Perhaps all. It had been a long road for the Scrooges from the once-considerable 19th-century firm of Scrooge & Marley. Scrooge's uncle several times removed, the first Ebenezer -- so the family oral story went -- had some ghostly experiences on Christmas Eve.

Winnie was a rogueVANCOUVER -- I'm not as young as I look. So readers will be surprised to learn that I well recall, as a boy, the astonishment in Canada when British voters quickly dumped Prime Minister Winston Churchill in July 1945, before the Pacific War ended, 67 years ago this week. Inexplicable ingratitude toward the man voted the greatest Englishman ever, the leader who rallied Britain in the darkest days of 1940, even cast as saviour of Western civilization? Anglo-Canadians couldn't believe it.

An early Christmas schnoodle
VANCOUVER -- In the household where these words were written, Christmas arrived early this year. To be precise, on May 17.
You may question whether the following qualifies as a Christmas story. I can only reply that, like the enduring masterpiece by Charles Dickens, it revolves around a tiny cripple who touches many hearts, a gift of priceless proportions.

He was one of those square-cut diamond-in-the-rough Midlanders, smoothed by hard experience, who left Britain for Canada in post-war flight from the disaster of victory. An election approached. Wilkinson gave me, a green reporter, a durable political lesson. Wilkinson's advice was simple, unoriginal: Throw the rascals out. Not an infallible premise but always a good starting point.

Hugo Chavez in Cuba for medical treatment
Published 10:55 pm, Wednesday, November 28, 2012
Havana --
Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez arrived in Havana Wednesday for medical treatment.
Chavez on Tuesday announced plans to travel to Cuba for more medical treatment after spending much of the past 18 months fighting cancer.
In a written request to the legislature, Chavez said doctors recommended sessions of hyperbaric oxygen treatment to continue strengthening his health.
Chavez has said that tests earlier this year showed he was cancer-free. Medical experts say treatment in a hyperbaric chamber can help cancer patients recover from damage to nerves or muscles that can be caused by radiation therapy.
Latest news videos
Chavez is expected to return to Venezuela by Jan. 10, when he is sworn in for a fourth term.

Ahead of this year's Gamescom 2011 in August, the executive VP of organiser Koelnmesse has told MCV of his hopes for this year's gathering.
"With Gamescom 2010 we certainly reached a new level for a games and entertainment trade fair," Oliver Kuhrt stated. "This is confirmed by the overwhelming feedback on the part of exhibitors, trade visitors, retailers and consumers.
"505 exhibitors from 33 countries showed innumerable new products, with numerous Europe and world premieres among them. All in all, more than 254,000 people visited Gamescom, including about 19,000 trade visitors from all over the world and 4,400 media representatives from 49 countries.

- Barb Peterson, 2016 Cardigan Welsh Corgi Club of America Nationals Show Chair
Disney World for Dogs!! That is what one of our exhibitors said about Purina Farms. It's a wonderful place for dogs, dog shows and dog people because it is FOCUSED on dogs. The staff is well trained and very hospitable and helpful. The equipment is all there and set up when you arrive, and the facility itself is "state of the art" for dog shows and show sponsoring clubs. I received rave reviews from so many people in our club who were visiting Purina for the first time.
One of the nicest aspects of the facility is that it has everything and the price is all inclusive. There are no "hidden" or unanticipated costs, so budgeting an event there is much simpler. I can, without reservation, recommend it highly.

Anti-Static (ESD)
Static electricity cannot be avoided. Hundreds of times each day, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) events occur without notice.
Unfortunately, an increasing number of electronic components are susceptible to damage from low voltage levels.
ESD events affect the electronics industry at all levels of production. The further development in miniaturization and complexity of electronic circuitry are setting the trend towards packaging of approved conductive material.
Our ESD-Pallets and ESD-Hybox provide effective protection for handling electronic components in assembly, storage and processing areas.
We supply ESD products in anti-static in 3 classes:
Our basic grade designed to avoid the accumulation of electric charge with a resistance in the range 1011 - 1014 Ohms and are available in a number of colour options dependent on quantity.
Designed with dissipative properties to ensure controlled discharge our ESD pallets have a resistance in the range 104 - 1011 Ohms, and are available in black or grey.
Designed to be fully conductive to ensure immediate discharge, our conductive pallets have a resistance below 104 Ohms, and are only available in black.

IB Graduate Featured On CBS's Survivor Reality Show
A natural athlete, Duhm ran cross country and track and played soccer at International Baccalaureate, and now is part of the crew team at University of Florida.
That natural athleticism should make the challenges a little easier, but Duhm is not permitted to comment on his actual experiences filming the show.
"(Prior to going) I would watch the show and see the little skinny girls and think I can do better," he said. "Because I am a runner, I thought to myself I could do well on the challenges (requiring athletic ability)."

Sewickley Academy's anniversary celebration to be a 'Singular Sensation'
It's a family affair on many different levels.
"One Singular Sensation," a 45-minute musical review written, produced and directed by 1995 Sewickley Academy graduate Marguerite Park will feature many familiar faces when it is presented at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the academy.
It features Park's father, Walter Gregg, her daughter, Olivia, 9, an academy third-grader, and her mother, Pam Gregg, who is helping to direct the show commemorating the 175th anniversary of Sewickley Academy.
Featured will be a cast of close to 60 parents, students, alumni, faculty and staff from ages 7 to 70-plus and songs from a variety of musicals.
Park of Sewickley Heights said those who come to the academy as students find they are joining a family.
Walter, 71 agreed and said it's also the academy families that have helped the school thrive over the years with their generosity and facilities donations, which will be part of his brief talk in the show.
He said the physical structure is only one aspect featured in the show.
The musical focuses on the history and also celebrates what the academy is today in every aspect — appearance, athletics, academic excellence, theater and arts, he said.
Park said actors briefly will discuss a bit of history followed by a song and dance number focusing on that theme.
For example, Carol Semple Thompson will speak about athletics. Headmaster Kolia O'Connor will make a presentation at the end of the show.
Also featured will be information about the fire of 1972; the academy's transition from a neighborhood to a regional school; and the days of Headmaster Cliff Nichols.
But Park said she wanted to avoid having a musical that was merely a rundown of "this happened, then this happened," so the themes are not presented in chronological order.
Before she wrote the musical, she explored what the academy's mission statement is today and wrote around those aspects, like diversity, and explored history books written about the academy for its 150th anniversary.
Park and her parents also participated in the academy's 150th anniversary musical presented by the late Mario Melodia, an academy dance teacher and director of the musical theater program.
"I wanted this show to be like a pep rally to get people really excited about the school," she said.
She began working on the show after she finished writing her fourth Child Health Association of Sewickley show, "A Pirate's Life for Me," which was presented in November last year.
Park's daughter said her favorite part is singing the song "We're all in this Together" from High School Musical with the entire cast. She also sings with groups in "Consider Yourself," from "Oliver," and "One" from "A Chorus Line."
Olivia has been acting, singing and dancing on stage since first grade.
Being on the stage is natural for her, her grandfather said, which it is for most academy students who perform in shows in every grade and learn to feel comfortable speaking in front of others.
Joe Jackson, lower school academy dance teacher, is choreographer for the show. Tim Heavner, the new academy chorale director, is musical director. David Harrison, a 1996 academy graduate, will accompany on piano.
Park, who studied American history and women's studies at Vanderbilt University, said history, theater and writing are her passions, and the academy musical combines them all.

The Old Bikes of Spring II
9 comments:
Should be able to let you have something on one of my old girls; the 1930s "The Sun" is just about ready for a road test.ReplyDelete
The Raleigh will be ready sometime soon.ReplyDelete
I've recently started to attack my bicycle piles; so far I stripped the two god-awful 24" dept. store Huffys. I had these because they were free, I've gained some cables and cable housing, some bearings and bearing races, two frames I can mess with for projects, and four wheels I can practice truing with. The rest: fork, cranks, pedals, esp. the pedals, shifters, levers, and brakes are of such horrible quality it makes you cringe.
Next up is fixing my friend's family's three bicycles, then the finally onto the 1971 Raleigh.
Do you want just photos or do you want commentary, as well? Blue will be back together next weekend and I have shots of the whole thing that I just haven't posted to Flickr, yet.ReplyDelete
Photos, please, if you got 'em!ReplyDelete
I'll be done (I hope) next weekend, too, with both the Schwinn and the Huffeigh. Can. Not. Wait.
I can't wait to see your bike projects either. I'll send some photos of my Raleigh (Molly) mixte project.ReplyDelete
I need to find an inexpensive old bike as a project to play with. The nishiki is dead on the table and.. Well, perhaps I need to clean out the garage of bikes first.ReplyDelete
Oh, man did I miss label your web URL on my blog!ReplyDelete
It's still sooo cold in Michigan, but I'll have some pictures for you within the next couple months. In the meantime, I'm planning the most obnoxious paint job possible.ReplyDelete
I've been gone form here a little while,but I recently started on one of my project-able bikes,will email you with updates soon :)ReplyDelete

At the beginning of its third year serving undergraduate students on campus, UC Merced is preparing for still more construction to start.
Here's a recipe for fun: 38 high school chemistry teachers, a bag of potatoes, several aluminum tubes and dowels, a big roll of duct tape and three enthusiastic presenters. Add a little explosive material and a sunny day at UC Merced and mix thoroughly.
That's just part of the equation for this week's Flinn Chemistry Workshop hosted by the School of Natural Sciences at UC Merced.
I'm a first year teacher, said Preet Ostwald of Ceres High School. I was scared to teach chemistry before I came here, but now I know what to do.
Don Payne, an enthusiastic veteran teacher from Carondelet High School in Concord, agreed.
A new teacher can come to this workshop and be completely set up with all the labs and demonstrations, he said. The students deserve that - some fun, some reward. They learn better.
The teachers were at UC Merced all week, learning new activities and building teaching devices to take back to their schools. Thursday afternoon saw the entire group out on the quad shooting potato-powered rockets and even an egg gun.
They also took back first-hand experience with the newest UC campus, having stayed in on-campus housing and used UC Merced labs and facilities all week long.
I was reading through the brochures Krista [Venicia] provided, and noticed professors who got Ph.D.s at MIT and Berkeley, said Hayes. You guys are obviously making the effort to hire the best.
About half the teachers came from the Central Valley, with others coming in from the Bay Area, Los Angeles and even as far away as Illinois and Arkansas. They got a taste of Merced-style fun at Lake Yosemite and the Thursday market downtown.
The Flinn workshop was the capstone of a summer of K-12 education outreach projects for UC Merced's School of Natural Sciences. The school also hosted students from the Math Engineering Science Achievement program and a program by the Higher Education Consortium of Central California for physics teachers, and has worked with the UC Merced Police Department Mentoring program to teach science to local students from Alicia Reyes Elementary School.
Design approval came over the summer from the UC Regents for the next academic building, a three-story, $47.5 million expansion of the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts.
The building will also house the planned E&J Gallo School of Management, funded by a $5 million gift from the famous wine-making family.
The new Social Sciences and Management building will stand on 1.5 acres next to the Science and Engineering Building near the current eastern boundary of the campus. Groundbreaking for the 101,900-square-foot building is planned for Spring 2008 with completion planned for spring 2010. The new building will allow the School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts to nearly double in size.
The school now has about 35 professors and the majority of UC Merced's undergrad students, studying history, the arts, economics, cognitive science, psychology, literature and cultures and political science.
Like all of UC Merced's buildings, the Social Sciences and Management facility will meet the campus's high environmental standards, including water-efficient landscaping and recycled materials. The building will be constructed to allow natural light for art studios and easy access for visitors and students. It will also contain room for laboratories where faculty members can work on their research projects.
But that's not the only construction in the works. In addition to expanding the Yablokoff-Wallace Dining Commons this year, there will be a new parking lot, called Lake Lot 2, opening in October, and other parking areas by the end of the year.
The campus has also received $10 million in extra funding for the next Science and Engineering building. This building will house open class laboratories, faculty laboratories and offices and shared laboratory support space. It is scheduled to open in fall 2012.
Construction also continues on Mariposa Hall in the Sierra Terraces dorms. This second phase of the new housing project will open in January. The first phase of Sierra Terraces, Tuolumne Hall, is already housing students this fall.

Why do so many politicians resort to sob stories and scare tactics when they are forced to get the government's financial house in order? Tom Oliver's antics are no different from the big government apologists in Congress; he simply raises the specter of slower emergency response and shuttered libraries instead of threatening Medicare cuts and the loss of cowboy poetry festivals.
The fact that Hall County has a chairman who thinks Little League and matching 401(k) contributions are core government functions should tell you all you need to know: Local government is bloated and inefficient. How that happened and why the county let expenses expand during the housing boom without preparing for a downturn is a good question for Oliver and his fellow commissioners.
But the answer isn't dumping poor decisions at the taxpayers' doorsteps in the form of a rate hike.

The Pittsburgh Pirates welcome the Beltway baseball clubs to PNC Park this week as the Baltimore Orioles visit for a two-game set followed by four games against the Washington Nationals.
The Pirates will be facing some excellent pitching this week, even though they will miss Nationals' lefty Gio Gonzalez, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday. Right-handers Chris Tillman, Jordan Zimmerman and Stephen Strasburg will be looking to shut the Bucs down while Doug Fister will look to get his season going after being recently activated from the DL.
Tuesday: Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Baltimore Orioles 7:05 p.m. | Francisco Liriano (0-3, 4.25 ERA) vs. Miguel Gonzalez (1-3, 4.76 ERA)
Throughout his career, Liriano has struggled against the Orioles, allowing a .339/.381/.610/.991 slash line in 63 plate appearances. The main culprits have been Delmon Young and Adam Jones. Young is 4-for-8 off of Liriano with a double, triple and home run while Jones is 4-for-15 with a trio of homers. The only Pirates' player to face the Mexican righty Gonzalez is Chris Stewart, who is 1-for-6 with a walk.
Wednesday: Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Baltimore Orioles 7:05 p.m. | Wandy Rodriguez (0-2, 6.84 ERA) vs. Chris Tillman (4-2, 3.34 ERA)
The only Orioles to face Rodriguez for a significant number of at-bats are J.J. Hardy and Nelson Cruz, with Hardy having the better numbers. Building up at-bats against Rodriguez from his time with the Milwaukee Brewers, Hardy is 6-for-23 with three doubles and two homes runs in addition to a pair of walks. Cruz is 2-for-9 with three walks and no extra base hits. Pirates' hitters have good numbers off of Tillman in just 30 plate appearances. Pittsburgh batters have a career .320/.433/.480/.913 slash line against Baltimore's top pitcher.
Thursday: Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals 7:05 p.m. Edinson Volquez (1-4, 4.71 ERA) vs. ?
This would have been the game Gonzalez started for the Nationals before he was injured, and the team has yet to name a replacement. Nevertheless, it is known that Volquez will be looking to get back to the good pitching Pirates fans saw from the Dominican earlier this year when he takes the mound Thursday against a Nationals club he has had success against in the past. In 43 plate appearances, the Nats own a below-average .216/.326/.351/.677 slash line against Volquez, although Nate McLouth owns good career numbers vs. the Pirates' fifth starter. McLouth is 5-for-12 with a pair of doubles and walks.
Friday: Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals 7:05 p.m. Charlie Morton (0-6, 3.45 ERA) vs. Jordan Zimmerman (3-1, 3.70 ERA)
With the weekend comes the best of the Nationals pitching staff in Zimmerman and Strasburg, a tall test for Morton and Cole. Fortunately for the Bucs, Morton owns good career numbers against Washington, as he has put together a .244/.261/.400/.661 slash line together in 47 plate appearances. Jayson Werth is 3-for-11 off of Morton with a pair of home runs. On the flip side, the Pirates have excellent numbers off of Zimmerman, as proven by a .327/.404/.673/1.077 slash line. Ike Davis is 5-for-24 with a pair of home runs and six walks off of Zimmerman, but Andrew McCutchen and, surprisingly, Clint Barmes are the main reasons for the great slash line. McCutchen is 2-for-3 with a pair of home runs while Barmes is 4-for-5 with a home run and 4 RBI.
Saturday: Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals 7:15 p.m. Gerrit Cole (4-3 3.84 ERA) vs. Stephen Strasburg (3-3, 3.48 ERA)
A dream matchup baseball fans and media have been waiting for. Two number one overall picks in Cole and Strasburg go toe-to-toe on the rubber for the first time. In just 15 plate appearances, the Nationals have awful numbers against Cole. Wilson Ramos owns the only hit, while Ian Desmond owns the only walk. The Pirates do not perform much better vs. Strasburg, as the team owns a .207/.278/.402/.680 slash line in 90 plate appearances. Pirates' hitters have struck out 31 times over those 90 plate appearances, although the Bucs own good power numbers off Strasburg. Davis has hit a pair of home runs, and has a 1.169 OPS vs. the right-hander, while Starling Marte, Pedro Alvarez and Barmes have each hit a bomb. Overall, Davis and Marte own the best career numbers off Strasburg.
Sunday: Pittsburgh Pirates vs. Washington Nationals 1:35 p.m. Francisco Liriano (0-3, 4.25 ERA) vs. Doug Fister (0-1, 4.76 ERA)
The week concludes with a second start for Liriano, who flat out dominates the Nats. In 32 plate appearances, Washington has a .138/.219/.241/.460 line against the left-hander as Nationals' hitters are just 4-for-29. Pirates batters aren't much better against Fister, as he owns a .672 OPS against the Bucs in 48 plate appearances, although McCutchen is 4-for-5 off of him.Tags: Baltimore Orioles, Baseball, MLB, Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Nationals

Tryon D. Lewis, R-Odessa (pictured), chairman of the Texas House Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence Committee, says lawyers should not expect sweeping legislation to come out of his committee this session.
"Most of what we're looking at is not really broad-based, not wholesale change, rather smaller things that have come up and need adjustment," says Lewis, a partner in Odessa's Atkins, Hollman, Jones, Peacock, Lewis & Lyon who served on the committee during the two previous regular legislative sessions.
As examples, the former state district judge cites likely proposals regulating litigation lending and addressing asbestos-related litigation in South Texas courts.
"I don't think it will be legislation that affects all lawyers," he says — nothing on the order of the loser-pays legislation that lawmakers wrestled with two years ago.
Lewis, though, adds a caveat to his predictions: "Having said that, I have to say, in the past, something has come up and thrown all the game plans we had at the beginning of a session out the window."

By Kerry Drager, Correspondent
The Royalton School District is preparing to establish the new Gifted, Talented and Enrichment (GTE) program for the coming school year. Supt. Jon Ellerbusch and GTE coordinator Shari Bishop attended a conference in Minneapolis this month to obtain more information about the program and how to identify those students who may benefit from its services.
There are three separate tiers of services that are available to students. The enrichment tier is geared more toward all children and will be used to help identify students who may qualify for additional GTE services. The second tier is designed for those students who exhibit talents and potential. The gifted tier is meant for those who have shown great improvement in their talents and are academically competent.
Each tier gives educators the opportunity focus on the individual needs of each student and their capabilities. Ellerbusch said the majority of students fall within tier two meant for the talented or "bright" students. Per the definition of "gifted," truly gifted students are extremely rare. In fact, only one in 10,000 students may be defined as gifted. However, with the GTE services, it is possible to further develop talented tier students and could potentially create a gifted individual.
"By developing the talented, we are pushing our students into the gifted tier. The more that we foster those talents and help them, the more likely they might flow into the next tier due to that development process," said Bishop.
These services will assist GTE students by offering them opportunities to discover and engage their talents. It is challenging enough to provoke expanded learning and even encourages other students and teachers to grow, as these services are done within the classroom among all students.
"This is raising the bar for everyone and for all students," said Bishop.
Students who may not be performing to their ability will also benefit from GTE services. For example, some students may not be gifted in mathematics or social studies but are very competition in mechanics. These children would still be considered for GTE services, Ellerbusch said.
"This will encourage curiosity and creative thinking. Students will be doing more authentic learning. They will be doing projects that could actually go into play with a decision that can be made in real life. I think that would be good for all kids and we could transfer this over to all students," said Ellerbusch.
Bishop said the best time to start implementing the program is between the ages of 5 – 8. This is the age bracket where the talents and capabilities of the children are most easily identified. After that time, peer pressure may cause particularly bright students to hide their abilities. A series of activities, test scores and student or teacher recommendations can be used to help identify GTE students and what tier they may belong to.
Royalton School Board Briefs:

Natalie Lui Duncan is the National Ombudsman / Assistant Administrator for Regulatory Enforcement Fairness (Acting) with the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).
Mrs. Duncan, a career...
Agencies must establish a policy for the reduction, and under certain circumstances, the waiver of civil penalties for violation of a statutory or regulatory requirement. Agencies may consider ability to pay in determining penalty assessments. Policies or programs should contain the following conditions:
Require the correction of a violation within a reasonable time;
Limit the applicability of violations discovered through small business participation in a compliance assistance or audit program; and
Require a good faith effort to comply with the law.
The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996 (SBREFA) makes certain that small businesses have a voice that will be heard by federal agencies as they go through the rule-making process. It also gives small businesses expanded opportunities to challenge an agency's final regulatory decision.
While the infringement or violation of your rights may be investigated by the National Ombudsman, filing a comment with this office does not suspend, cancel, modify, or replace any legal proceedings or required regulatory necessities that an agency may require. You should always continue to pursue any and all legal options you believe are in the best interests of your small business, non-profit organization, or small government entity.

With different tempos, sounds and styles at play, it's a well-rounded collection. Contrast, for example, the tough 80s-electro-goes house vibes of Legendary 1979 Orchestra's "Burning" and the slow, soulful bump of 78 Edits' "Can't Have My Love". Or, for that matter, the breezy party vibes of Andrei's "Let's Go Raw" and the heavy funk of Richmed's "Do Your Thang". There's also some more 80s disco tweakery from Spanish edit workhorse Rayko.

Coalition Launches Educational Effort to
Empower Cancer Patients
April 17, 2003
Philadelphia, PA: – The Coalition
of National Cancer Cooperative Groups (Coalition) announces the debut of Cancer
Research: A Guide to Clinical Trials, an online service designed to educate and
empower cancer patients and their caregivers. This easy-to-use program enables
users to educate themselves about cancer clinical trials through a step-by-step
interactive curriculum. It is only available online via
www.CancerTrialsHelp.org. This program was developed by the Coalition
and its patient advocate members, many of whom are cancer survivors who know
first-hand the struggle to learn about treatment options, particularly those
that involve clinical trials.
"About eighty percent of patients use the Internet
for health information," said Robert L. Comis, MD, president of the Coalition;
chairman of the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group; and director of the MCP
Hahnemann University Clinical Trials Research Center. "People living with
cancer are especially reliant upon the Internet because they need to make quick
decisions about their treatment. We developed this guide to aid them in this
process, giving them as much information as possible at the click of a mouse."
The Cancer Research online guide features
information about the many facets of planning, conducting and participating in
a clinical trial. Interactive features help make the learning process more
interesting and reinforce the important points. The five modules include:
Cooperative Groups, Cancer Clinical Trials, Drug Development, Surgical and
Radiation Therapies, and Protecting Research Participants.
Through educational tools such as Cancer Research:
A Guide to Clinical Trials, the Coalition hopes to increase awareness about the
benefits and risks of participating in a cancer clinical trial. Major
advancements in the treatment of cancer are the direct result of cancer
clinical trials. However, only three to five percent of adults participate in
cancer clinical trials, thus delaying the time to trial completion. The more
quickly clinical trials are completed, the sooner new therapies will be
available to those diagnosed with cancer.
"Patient-physician communication is key to
accelerating the rate of clinical trial participation," said Dr. Comis. "We
believe that our online services will help encourage this very critical
About the Coalition
The Coalition of National Cancer Cooperative Groups is a non-profit
organization dedicated to improving the quality of life and survival of cancer
patients by increasing participation in cancer clinical trials. Through a
variety of programs and services, the Coalition works to develop national
partnerships, provide professional support services, and to educate patients
and the public in order to meet its mission. Members of the Coalition include
cooperative groups, patient advocate organizations, and cancer research and

Judge Shyam Gyanda, who presided with two assessors in the Lotter trial, surprised many with his sentence.
He jailed the mastermind Mathew Naidoo for life for the July 19, 2008, murder of Magdalena Lotter and her husband Johannes.
Judge Gyanda described Naidoo as a cunning and conniving individual. He had a plan for the Lotters and carried it out, said Judge Gyanda.
But the judge showed mercy on the Lotters siblings Nicolette (Naidoo's ex-girlfriend) and her brother Hardus.
He imposed a 12-year and 10-year sentence respectively with the proviso that they serve six years before they are considered for parole.

Vintage Find – 1950s Novelty Zoo Print Skirt
On a recent shopping trip to the Rose Bowl with the lovely Tina Poppy of Violetville Vintage, I was on a shopping mission. I was hunting for adorable cotton skirts for summer. I didn't end up finding any in my size and budget, so I hit trusty eBay.com when I stumbled across this gem.
I am a sucker for novelty prints, but not the traditional Mexican/Fiesta type prints. I feel those aren't novelty enough since I am Mexican! I really love comical, absurd prints like the whale print dress I featured a few weeks ago. This adorable print of a family at the zoo, complete with cages and balloons is so original! Who would ever think to put a zoo scene on a skirt. I love it. I need it.

I get you. I keep wanting to make a dress out of 30s repro fabric with kittens on it, and people look at me like I'm crazy. Novelty prints are just plain fun.
- 2 Kim @ The HLMN { 06.25.09 at 12:59 pm }
I am in love with this print! in my opinion every needs a good printed circle skirt.
- 3 Ulrika / The Freelancer's Fashionblog { 06.25.09 at 3:36 pm }
I love that there are so many 50's patterns that are totally "crazy", but still in a very organized and stylish way. That's a great pattern indeed!
- 4 Sandra { 06.25.09 at 9:19 pm }
Solanah – kittens, zoo animals, whatever. Let them think you're crazy. They're too cute.
Kim – I agree!
Ulrika – Isn't it fab? I knew you'd like it.

I think novelty prints are so undervalued these days in fahion trends. They are so unique and really spicing up any fabric. Love this one by Mill street Vintage. The shop has inspiring and to die for clothings!
- 6 super kawaii mama { 06.30.09 at 3:01 am }
This is completely fabulous! We just had the most amazing lobster print dress at Circa Vintage that sadly didn't get past my shoulders, so I'm on the look out for the perfect novelty print.

You can easily convert 20 centimeters into inches using each unit definition:
- Centimeters
- centi m = 0.01 m
- Inches
- inch = 2.54 cm = 0.0254 m
With this information, you can calculate the quantity of inches 20 centimeters is equal to.
¿How many in are there in 20 cm?
In 20 cm there are 7.8740157 in.
Which is the same to say that 20 centimeters is 7.8740157 inches.
Twenty centimeters equals to seven inches. *Approximation
¿What is the inverse calculation between 1 inch and 20 centimeters?
Performing the inverse calculation of the relationship between units, we obtain that 1 inch is 0.127 times 20 centimeters.
A inch is zero times twenty centimeters. *Approximation

Mr Habre is wanted in Belgium for alleged abuses committed under his rule between 1982 and 1990 and has lived in Senegal for 15 years.
Senegal says the African Union summit in Khartoum will rule on the matter.
A Senegalese court on Friday said it did not have the power to decide whether to extradite him.
'Africa's Pinochet'
On Saturday Mr Habre was arrested and then released for the second time in a few days.
It was revealed the interior ministry had signed an order putting Mr Habre "at the disposal of the president of the African Union".
Senegalese Foreign Minister Cheikh Tidiane Gadio said: "Taking into consideration the arguments of Mr Habre and his lawyers, our country... has decided to permit Mr Habre to remain in Senegal in expectation of a decision by the African Union."
Mr Gadio said it was "decided to put this issue before the next summit of African Union heads of state on January 23-24 in Khartoum because it is not really a Senegalese issue, but an African one".
Human Rights Watch has called Mr Habre "Africa's Pinochet". His administration has been accused of murdering and torturing political opponents.
Alleged victims filed complaints under Belgium's universal jurisdiction law, which allows Brussels judges to prosecute human rights offences anywhere.
Mr Habre denies any knowledge of atrocities.

Zermatt itineraries
Pistes are numbered, not in an especially logical order, and also have colloquial names (eg. Black number 8, under the Patrullarve chair on Sunnega, is known as the National), some of which appear on signposts. Most lifts have names, even if only informal ones, relating to the mountain or ridge they ascend (eg. The Stockhorn T-bar). Lifts also have a letter or letter and number reference on the piste map, but these are not widely known and some are repeated on different mountains.
Be at the Gornergratbahn station early (by 8.20am to catch the 8.24 train). Aim for a seat at the front on the right-hand side for the best views of the Matterhorn – and of Zermatt. See if you can spot the enormous Mont Cervin palace, the hotel Beau Site, by the railway, or the shimmering glass Omnia, across town.
Alight at Rotenboden (2,815m) to warm up on the usually deserted "slow slope" (blue 38) towards Riffelberg, where you pick up the six-seater chairlift (M). Turn right off the chair and follow any freshly groomed blue, all of which lead back to the bottom of the chair. After a couple of runs, catch a summit-bound Gornergrat train (N3, every 20 minutes) at Riffelberg. At the top (3,089m), pause to admire the peaks and glaciers of the Monte Rosa massif and the vast Gornergletscher on the valley floor. Closer to hand are often ibex – brown, wiry-coated deer with curling, knobbly horns. To the left an elevator takes you to the Kulmhotel Gornergrat, which has four domed towers, home to an observatory. Have a break at Vis a Vis or the adjacent self-service.
The run down to Riffelberg is marked blue (36), but go steady after the tunnel on the narrower stretch. Fork left towards Rotenboden to return to Riffelberg, then take the gondola (Q) down, passing the valley station to Furi. Or, if you're feeling confident and conditions are easy, follow the reds 39, 41 and 42 down, by the railway then through the forest, and join the gondola at the valley station to reach Furi.
At Furi, change to the next gondola up (P2). Look out for chamois, mountain goats with striped faces, grazing below, and stay on all the way to Trockener Steg (2,939m), where you take the long t-bar (X1) up the glacier. If you have time, take the next t-bar (X2) to Testa Grigia (3,460m), by the border with Italy. Descend blue 87 and most of blue 73, then fork right over the X1 t-bar and take the easy red 74 – with some sidestepping up – towards lunch at the Gandegghuette, an unpretentious hut perched on a ridge with amazing views, and under friendly new management.
After lunch, follow the undemanding reds 66, 65 and 64 to Furgg, then ride the gondola (P3) to Schwarzsee, beneath the Matterhorn. Do a loop of the "slow slope" (56), a rolling, deserted blue that leads to a gondola mid-point (P2). If you're still raring to go, follow the scenic red 52 down, stopping at Stafelalp to fuel the skate to Furi along a woodland path. Otherwise, get back in the gondola at Schwarzsee to descend by lift.
Be at the Matterhorn Glacier Paradise gondola station by 8.30am to ride the first lift (P1, 2, 3 and 4) to Trockener Steg. Continue by cable car (O3) up the Klein Matterhorn: at this time of day you probably won't have to queue. Take it easy walking through the tunnel at the top – the altitude (3,820m) may make you feel light headed (it's best to wait until day two or three to do this itinerary so you're acclimatised). Half way along on the left, take the elevator to the viewing platform at 3,883m, which has a fantastic 360° panorama: Zermatt is surrounded by 38 summits higher than 4,000m. As an added bonus, at the far end of the tunnel there's a nice warm loo in the shop.
Follow red 85, aiming for Testa Grigia, the cluster of buildings to the left, on the Italian border. Ski into Italy on the wide, rolling red 7, forking left as it flattens out to take reds 35, 36 and then 12 towards Valtournenche. Take the short chair (g) over the next ridge and turn right down red 5, a sweeping gulley run – all but deserted at this time of day, as the Italians aren't early risers – to the six-seater chair (f).
Back on the ridge, pick up red number 1. Follow it towards the bottom of the valley, keeping left: feel like a downhiller as you carve down the wide, twisting forested part. Towards the bottom, look out for the chalet-style restaurant Foyes des Guides beside the piste on the right (which has friendly owners, a beautiful terrace and the smartest loos in Italy).
Just below it, take the small forest path on the right to La Pera Doussa, an enchanting "agriturismo", for an early lunch. The friendly owners will serve the day's speciality, with most ingredients from the doorstep – a platter of salami, dried ham and cheese, perhaps, or polenta with chestnuts. The Aosta Valley wine is excellent value, too, and don't miss a visit to the family's horses, cosy in the adjacent stables, or a chat with the two affectionate St Bernards. You'll be taken back to the piste by skidoo.
Ride the gondola (d), two chairlifts (e and f) and the slow button lift (h) back to the Cervinia side. If you've time, do a loop of the excellent red 37 from the top, otherwise, go straight to the new cable-car (F) from Laghi Cime Bianche (2,812m) to Testa Grigia (3,480m). Schuss back down the glacier on the Swiss side. By Trockener Steg, pick up the Furgsattel chair (V) and cruise the quiet, wide red 69 (fork left off the piste) with great close up views of the Matterhorn all the way to Furgg. Ride the gondola (P3) from Furgg to Schwarzsee, where you could have a drink on the terrace of the Schwarzsee Restaurant and listen to live music, then take red 51 back to Furi and on down into Zermatt, catching a quick lap on the new six-seater Hornli lift (replacing a steepish t-bar for the 2015/16 season) on the way down if you have the stamina.
Take the Sunnegga Express funicular (A1, new last season) at 8.30am and ride on up the chairlift or gondola (A2; they share a cable) to Blauherd (2,571m). Keep right off blue 7 onto the National, the excellent black (8) that sweeps through the forest beneath the Patrullarve chair. Ride back up and take the cable car (A3) from Blauherd to the Rothorn (3,103m). After a loop of the easy black (13) to the Kumme chair (E), pick up the yellow itinerary run (17, controlled but not pisted) from the top, which follows the flank of the mountain back to Patrullarve.
Take the A2 chair and cable car back to the Rothorn, then take the main red run and fork right onto red 11; there are sometimes nice moguls just next to the piste. Don't miss the left turning onto red 19, which leads to lunch at Fluhalp. Fuel up all you can because the afternoon will be spent on the tough slopes of the Stockhorn, opposite, which are full of moguls and off-piste but free of huts.
To get there continue on red 19 to Gant and take the fast cable car (G) to Hohtalli (3,286m), then a smaller one to Rote Nase (3,247m). There are several marked itinerary runs, but on arrival the whole mountain often just looks like a sea of moguls or powder, with perhaps a dozen skiers. One loop of the upper button (K) to the Stockhorn (3,532m) and the Triftji t-bar (I), plus the long route back, usually fills an afternoon, and the Gruensee restaurant makes a welcome pit-stop en route back to "civilisation". Ski back to Zermatt either via Findeln and Sunnegga (red 25, chairlift C and red 4/itinerary 20 or reds 4, 2 and 3), or descend via Riffelalp (red 27, plus the Gornergrat train down).
If you're visiting before February, when the Stockhorn runs are sometimes not yet open, instead spend the afternoon exploring the other Rothorn itineraries, yellows 16 and 18, the latter accessed from the scenic red 15, at the northern extremity of the ski area, and do loops of the National – see if you can do a run without stopping. The Blue Lounge, a recent addition to Zermatt's restaurant scene, and with a massive terrace and attractive interior, makes a handy stop-off for a drink any time of day in the Blauherd area – it's between the top of the Patrullarve chair and the bottom of the Rothorn cable car.
Another early season afternoon option, depending on snow cover, is the wonderful itinerary (yellow 30) beneath the Hohtalli cable car (G), accessed via red 30 – but beware of rocks.

Peter Uihlein felt right at home in the windy conditions as he gained a share of the lead after the second round of the Irish Open golf tournament on Friday, while Rory McIlroy missed the cut in his final tournament before the British Open.
Uihlein shot a 4-under-par 68 to move to nine under overall with England's Robert Rock, the 2009 runner-up who posted a 66 at the Carton House course on the outskirts of Dublin.
It was a disappointing day for the home fans, however, as McIlroy could only manage a 72 to remain two over, missing the cut by two shots.
Fellow major winners Padraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell and Darren Clarke also failed to make it to the weekend, making for a dismal showing by the Irish and Northern Irish contingent.
"I hit quite a few good shots out there, but there are a few bad ones in there and it's those bad ones that are costing me, and I wasn't sharp enough around the greens," said McIlroy, who doesn't plan to add another tournament before the British Open at Muirfield next month.
"I am still confident in my ability to hit the golf ball and hit good shots but then confidence comes from hitting good shots and seeing the ball go in the hole, and shooting good rounds and posting good results.
"I guess in that way the results are not great, but from being on the golf course and seeing some good shots today I am definitely more positive now than this time yesterday."
Uihlein honed his game in often windy conditions on the Karsten Creek course designed and built for Oklahoma State University.
"It's something I got used to at Oklahoma State as it can be pretty windy there," he said.
"I spent three-and-a-half years in Oklahoma where sometimes we would play in a tornado. In the wind, your game doesn't have to be that perfect.
"I seem to struggle when it's calm and sunny but when it's windy you just play golf, I enjoy it."
Uihlein celebrated his 21st birthday when he captured the 2010 US Amateur and he turned pro in 2012. Last month he earned his first European Tour win at the Madeira Islands Open.
Rock broke through for his first European Tour win at the 2011 Italian Open, and secured his biggest victory last year in defeating Tiger Woods by two shots at the Abu Dhabi Championship.
Rock, looking for a first win since Abu Dhabi, highlighted his Irish Open second round with an eagle on the par-5 4th hole.
Jose Maria Olazabal, the 1990 Irish Open winner, carded 69 to sit in a five-way tie for third, two shots back.
Best of the Australians was Daniel Gaunt, four off the pace after a 68.

ALEPPO, Syria, Aug 4 (Reuters) - A Syrian army helicopter fired machinegun rounds on the city of Aleppo on Saturday, a Reuters witness said, as Syrian troops fired artillery shells to break through the rebels' frontline in the battleground district of Salaheddine.
"There is one helicopter and we're hearing two explosions every minute," a Reuters reporter said.
In Salaheddine, rebels from the Free Syria Army hid in alleyways, dodging the Syrian army's bullets and tank rounds that struck a building in the district.
