West Mifflin Area School Board keeps lawsuit options open
West Mifflin Area School District says its tentative plans to sue state Department of Education over what it claims are unfair reimbursements it receives for educating Duquesne students will remain an option if negotiations don't work out.
The school board on Thursday approved an action that keeps the threat of the lawsuit on the table.
The board earlier rejected a motion that would have outright authorized district solicitor George Gobel to move ahead with legal action against the state.
Board member Judy Andzelik, who wanted to table the motion altogether, said she doubted a lawsuit would have any success against the state because of the current political climate in Harrisburg, which she characterized as pro-charter school.
She and school board member Harry Fast voted against the lawsuit.
Board member Ron Rubinsak said he thought the district should authorize the solicitor to negotiate with involved parties before filing suit.
The district began considering the legal action several months ago over what it says are discrepancies between what it receives for educating Duquesne students and reimbursements the state pays to charter schools.
The district says it only receives $10,500 per Duquesne student while charter schools may receive up to $28,500 for teaching those same students.
The district has estimated its losses at about $4 million since it started taking Duquesne students five years ago because of the discrepancies.
Superintendent Daniel Castagna said he's in favor of such a suit.
"I would love to make a statement to the state about this," Castagna said. "The time to take the fight to them is now."
Gobel wanted to keep the option of a lawsuit on the table as a bargaining chip.
He told board members who were hesitant about the action that the matter shouldn't be tabled.
Gobel said he has discussed the matter with officials from East Allegheny School District, which also is mandated to take students from the troubled Duquesne school district, and expects the East Allegheny board will discuss the matter in February.
Gobel said delaying the action could cost West Mifflin Area more money if all of Duquesne's students are transferred to the two districts next year.
This past year, the state ordered the two districts to take seventh- and eighth-graders from Duquesne. High school students from Duquesne have been attending school in the two districts since 2007.

COLLINGWOOD'S opening victory of 2012 has been soured by a calf injury to veteran Chris Tarrant, whom coach Nathan Buckley conceded had virtually no chance of playing in Friday night's clash with Carlton, as the club assesses the damage to its gun full-back.
Richmond also was hit with an injury to a resuming player last night, as aggressive small forward Jake King hurt his posterior cruciate ligament and will miss the next six games.
Both Tarrant and King were hurt in the first quarter. While King, who hurt his knee in the first two minutes, was able to play out most of the game g being subbed off in the third quarter, Tarrant opted to pull the pin immediately and was subbed off at quarter-time.
Buckley said last night that Tarrant had entered the game ''ready to go'' and said that if he could not get through a quarter last night, he couldn't back up and play against the Blues.
''When you've played as much footy as Taz has you know your body pretty well and he was concerned about how his calf was feeling as the first quarter rolled on. Came off to have it assessed, tried to warm it up again … and felt that he wasn't comfortable continuing given that he thought he was very likely to rip it. So we'll see how it cools down and see how he comes out of this game. ''If he can't get through a quarter of footy, no I wouldn't have thought six days later he'd be right to play four.''
But the injury to Tarrant is offset by the return of others, with the Magpies set to regain skipper Nick Maxwell, Sharrod Wellingham and possibly Ben Johnson for Carlton. Buckley said Maxwell would return for the Blues game, while Wellingham, withdrawn from the VFL yesterday, was available for Carlton. He said Johnson, too, was a chance to play.
Travis Cloke hurt his shoulder in the second quarter, but had ''played the game out, so Clokey's good''. In what was a scrappy 21-point win, the Pies broke the game open in the third quarter with five quick goals in seven minutes, three of them to Dale Thomas, whom Buckley had asked for a special effort. ''The first three quarters were exactly how we wanted to go about it. Our contested ball was good, our ball movement was OK … we defended a lot better than last week. To keep them to three goals just shy of three-quarter-time was pretty good form to that point.''
Richmond coach Damien Hardwick said King would miss the next six weeks, having hurt his PCL in the opening two minutes. He said of Collingwood's five goal burst: ''I felt like putting my fist through the glass pane window. I think we gave up 5-0 at the centre bounces … we've just got to get better in that situation.''
Hardwick said the Tigers were ''smashed'' in contested ball in the that match-deciding period of the third quarter, having performed well in that area for the most of the match.
Buckley said his defenders, especially Ben Reid, were ''fantastic''. '''Reidy led the charge with his performance on [Jack] Riewoldt.''

Drummer Without Hands Destroys a Red Hot Chili Peppers Cover [VIDEO]
There a plenty of talented people in this world. The members of the Red Hot Chili Peppers are some, the inventors of popcorn, and this guy are among the most talented of the talented. Watch as this guy absolutely rocks this RHCP cover without hands.
To say some one is handicapped is, in a way, to say that they would have a harder time than a "normal" person at completing some tasks. This guy, having lost his hands, proves that he can do more things and better than the "average" person.

Guilty plea to a reduced charge
The first of a half dozen men arrested in a Seneca restaurant parking lot crime last winter has seen his case resolved in the court of General Sessions. A plea of guilt to a reduced charge of assault and battery third degree netted Montrez Obrian Jones a 30-day jail sentence, with credit given to time served. Jones and five others were arrested and charged with assault and battery by a mob,as part of a Seneca police investigation of the beating of a Franklin, North Carolina man during the early morning hours March 17 outside Applebee's Restaurant. At the time of arrest, Seneca Police Chief John Covington said the investigation disclosed racial factors as a contributor to victim's beating and a copy of the investigative report was being sent to the FBI for a review of whether the case qualified as a hate crime under federal law. The defendant, represented by court-appointed attorney Suzanne Earle, entered the plea and submitted to sentencing July 26.

Title: President and CEO
Company: China Mist Tea Brands
Describe your very first job and what lessons you learned from it.
At 12 years old, a friend and I got together a bucket, soap and a sponge, then went door to door asking if we could wash our neighbors' cars. When they would ask "how much," we would say "whatever you want to pay us." I quickly learned my first business lesson, which is have an idea of what your service is worth before heading out. This job was short lived after we knocked on the door of Vern and Claudia Lipp, who bred and showed Himalayan cats. When we asked if we could wash her car she replied, "No, but I have a bunch of litter boxes that need cleaning and cats that need grooming." … For the next three years I cleaned and groomed cats, a job that could have definitely earned a spot on the Discovery Channel's "Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe!"
Describe your first job in your industry and what you learned from it.
My first industry job was at China Mist right around the time I turned 16 years old. Over the course of 26 years, I have learned an incredible number of lessons and I still learn something everyday. … The most important lesson is to surround yourself with truly great people because your team is your greatest asset. Average employees don't last long at China Mist. Next, is to always challenge the norms of your industry. … Indeed, it is the people who continually strive for a better product, better process, etc., who set themselves and their companies apart from the rest. Finally, focus on what you do best.
What were your salaries at both of these jobs?
When I started at China Mist, I earned minimum wage, which was around $3.35 per hour at the time. I cannot recall my hourly wage at Hotlipps Cattery, but the memories are priceless.
Who is your biggest mentor and what role did they play?
I have had many mentors along the way, but would have to say that Mignon Latimer has been the biggest in my career. Mignon is the wife of a consultant hired by China Mist some years ago. I was an 18-year-old general manager at the time I started working with her. She taught me how to read and interpret financial details important to the company and precisely why they mattered. She gave me a truly sound financial base from which to build.
What advice would you give to a person just entering your industry?
While the barrier to entry is quite low, the competition is strong, so be sure you have a strong point of differentiation.
If you weren't doing this, what would you be doing instead?
I really cannot imagine doing anything else, but if I had to pick a new industry it would be something in real estate.

Why Were Reproductive Rights Left Out Of Last Night's Democratic Debate?
Something was missing from the democratic debate last night. Well, a lot of somethings. But one thing specifically stood out to me as a reproductive justice activist and writer: there were zero questions about abortion. The moderators didn't even reference it by euphemism. There was no "Tell us what you think about Planned Parenthood" or "We recently marked the anniversary of Roe v. Wade" or "How would you protect a woman's right to choose?" Nothing. Zip. Zilch.
This omission — on the supposedly "liberal" media channel, MSNBC — is particularly glaring because the candidates themselves have made it an issue. In recent weeks, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have both come out unequivocally against the four decade-long punishment of the poor and communities of color perpetrated by the Hyde Amendmentwhich prohibits federal funding for abortion (despite what you may have heard from the republicans perpetually investigating Planned Parenthood).
Considering every Democratic president and any Democratic member of Congress who has voted for a federal budget since 1976 has at the very least tacitly approved of Hyde, a unified democratic presidential platform to abolish it — something that could be done unilaterally in their first year by refusing to sign a budget with a coverage ban attached — IS HISTORIC. While 86% of voters think someone's economic status or health insurance provider shouldn't affect their access to abortion, politicians and corporate media are lagging behind the cultural shift. This means abortion access is still contentious even if the electorate has largely decided how they feel about it and the mass of people tweeting #AskAboutAbortion last night want to hear the candidates' plans to affirm and expand our rights.
We aren't just shouting about it because we're a bunch of angry feminists hoping to foment outrage about something. Abortion access has been incrementally diminished since Roe with a major acceleration over the past few years: more than one-quarter of the 1074 abortion restrictions passed have been enacted since 2011. Just in 2015, abortion restrictions were introduced in 46 states. If you were feeling comfortable or smug about your state, but don't live in Nevada, North Dakota, or Utah, you need to check out this 22 second video from National Partnership for Women & Families:
The channel hosting the debate has covered the outbreak of laws as well as the legal challenges by the Center for Reproductive Rights, Whole Woman's Health, and others as they've wound through state and circuit courts all the way to the highest court in the land. The first abortion case in eight years is going to be heard next month at the Supreme Court — but NO ONE has been able to think of a question about reproductive rights at the democratic debates?
Chuck Todd, Rachel Maddow, and MSNBC should collectively be ashamed of themselves. They had time to ask a question about Barry Goldwater and electability, but not about the one in four insured by Medicaid experiencing an unwanted pregnancy who is forced to carry to term against their will? And don't tell me that they weren't asking about "social issues" because "the candidates agree on 90% of them. Agreeing that an issue is important is NOT THE SAME THING as having THE SAME PLAN. Don't just tell me what you BELIEVE, tell me what you're going TO DO.
Example question on Hyde/reproductive rights: "Senator/Madam Secretary, you've come out against the Hyde Amendment; would you veto a budget with Hyde attached?"
THIS IS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. Especially for people who have covered politics in the US for as long as Todd and Maddow.
We still don't know that much about either of their plans on topics where they agree. The point of the primary debates is for primary voters — who are largely on the same side of the aisle as the candidates — to know the difference in the plans. Does no one remember the endless health care questions from 2008? It was and remains important for us to know more than "I support a woman's right to choose" or "All Americans should have healthcare." Obama and Clinton both were for all of us having access to healthcare in their soundbites, but their plans were very different. Many of us chose a candidate based on that particular issue — I know I sure did. I went back to my home state of Indiana, swallowed my anxiety, and door knocked for Obama the two days before the election. I'd been up for 40-something hours when election returns were coming in and stayed awake to watch Indiana turn blue on the map. I'd supported him since early in the primary race because I liked his plan better.
So, when do I get to hear the kind of policy/plan debate questions we had eight years ago? What are the candidate's priorities in the first 100 days? What do they think they can accomplish without Congress? What will they need down ticket support on to push through the legislature?
And I don't just mean on abortion. The rampant restrictions have made reproductive rights my most pressing concern, but many who like things about both candidates and/or want the strongest campaign from the democrat in the general are waiting to hear about a whole host of things.
After Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, we only have Nevada and South Carolina ahead of Super Tuesday on March 1 when fifteen contests are scheduled. We're only scheduled to see one debate between now and then — February 11th in Milwaukee, WI. Let's hope PBS and the Wisconsin Democratic Party can deliver a more on-point debate.

Initial Review: 28,900 miles on tires
July 04, 2012
These were OEM on my 2011 Honda Accord 4 cyl. These tires are decent, they do everything good, nothing spectacular, nothing to brag about either. The only true complaint is that they are not quiet. I commute nearly 100 miles daily on both interstate and rural roads, with little city driving. These tires are noisy, and when it comes time to replace them, I will select a different tire.

Oven-Fried Chicken — Most Popular Pin of the Weekby Maria Russo in Community, January 24th, 2016
If you think the only way to guarantee crispy-skinned chicken is to dunk to the bird in a deep fryer, think again, because this week's Most Popular Pin of the Week proves that an oven will do the job well too. After being dipped in a hot sauce-spiked egg wash and breaded with a mixture of panko, paprika and cayenne, this juicy chicken is baked until it's tender on the inside and browned on the outside.
For more hearty favorites, check out Food Network's Let's Cook Comfort Food board on Pinterest.

Art Education BFA
129 credit, four-year program of study
Challenged to be critical thinkers, students in CVPA's Art Education program develop visual, verbal, and written skills which serve them well professionally and personally as discerning individuals living in community with others.
Licensure is the goal of most students in the Art Education program. The BFA in Art Education program offers a sequence of practical, theoretical, and studio-based experiences through which students can gain the knowledge, skills, and confidence to become proficient art educators. While at UMass Dartmouth, Art Education majors take courses in studio art, the social theory and philosophy of education, human development and learning in art, and teaching methodologies. Pre-practicum fieldwork and supervised teaching components are essential requirements of the program. Opportunities for fieldwork exist in public and private schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and community centers and public service agencies.
The program strives to honor how the arts are integrated into daily life, thereby adding depth and dimension to the environment we live in by shaping our daily experiences. As a community, the program conveys the idea that the arts are valuable vehicles that can engender compassionate views of how we can all become better citizens of the world.

MH17: missing bodies spark anger
The arrival of a refrigerated train carrying bodies of MH17 victims was shrouded in secrecy, but confusion turned to outrage when it was revealed that almost 100 bodies are missing, reports Paul McGeough in Kharkiv.
Only 200 bodies were aboard the train that arrived in Kharkiv from the eastern war zone on Tuesday, said Jan Tuinder, the head of an international team of forensics experts tasked with preparing the bodies for transport to Holland. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was carrying 298 passengers and crew when it was shot down by a Russian-supplied surface-to-air missile on Thursday over territory held by Moscow-backed rebels in eastern Ukraine, US and Ukrainian authorities have said.
The number of bodies that arrived in the train's refrigerated rail cars was significantly lower than the 282 bodies, plus 87 body parts believed to belong to the remaining 16 victims, that Ukrainian officials have said were recovered. The train, which left the rebel-held mining town of Torez on Monday night, took more than 17 hours to travel a route that normally takes five hours or less.
Asked about the discrepancy, Michael Bociurkiw, a spokesman for the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said on Tuesday in Donetsk that 290 was "the last number [of bodies] we were told" had been recovered. "We had no possible way to verify that count," he said.
He said an international group of observers saw body parts at the crash site on Tuesday. There still has not been any systematic attempt to comb the scene for all human remains, he said.
Mr Tuinder said he did not know the whereabouts of the missing bodies.
"The only thing I'm sure of is the number 200," he said, characterising it as a "hard" count. Of the remaining victims, he said: "They will be found. We have to find them."
The train, which had been held up for days in Torez near the crash site, arrived about 12:30pm. Tuesday in Kharkiv, where more than 90 forensics experts and about 30 diplomats waited for it at a small, secondary train station.
"It was a very emotional moment, when the train stopped in an area somewhere in a foreign country," Mr Tuinder said. "It was a very respectful moment. It was very quiet."
The first group of bodies will be flown to Holland on Wednesday morning, officials said.
The remains were being processed by forensics experts from the Netherlands, France, Malaysia and Australia — all countries whose citizens died in the crash. They were placing the remains in stronger body bags and putting them in sealed coffins for transfer to the Netherlands, where the process of identifying the victims would start.
The delivery of the bodies and the plane's data and cockpit voice recorders offered some hope that an international investigation might clarify how the civilian airliner was shot down. Experts warned, however, that the crash site has been compromised.
The vast main site of the plane crash was secured by only two men with rifles on Tuesday, despite an international outcry for an impartial investigation to begin there as soon as possible.
Small pieces of plane debris blew in the wind as grasshoppers buzzed in the wheat fields. No one was inspecting the fields except journalists, nor were there guards besides the two men who idled on chairs 200 feet from a piece of the cockpit.
In a nearby village, other pieces of the plane that appeared to have shrapnel marks and could be important for an investigation sat untended at the side of a road.
There were reports of intense fighting near rebel-held Donetsk, roughly 60 km west of the crash site. Sporadic gunfire and explosions were heard around the airport and a mining compound in the city, the cradle of the separatists' self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic. Fighting on Monday damaged 28 transformer substations, leaving some districts in the region without power, according to a statement on the Donetsk City Council's Web site.
The processing of the remains in Kharkiv is "going to take some time," said Esther Naber, a spokeswoman for the Dutch forensics team, "because of the sad fact we have so many victims."
The train carrying the remains pulled into the Balashovka Railway Station, where the locomotive was switched and taken to a building at the nearby Malysheva factory, a compound that produces military tanks and drilling equipment.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, whose country is home to 193 of the passengers killed in the shootdown, said on Tuesday in The Hague that Ukraine has agreed to allow the Netherlands to lead the investigation. The black boxes, which were turned over earlier to Malaysian representatives in Donetsk, were aboard the train that arrived in Kharkiv, Mr Rutte said. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, a Boeing 777, was en route from Amsterdam to the Malaysian capital, Kuala Lumpur, when it was shot down.
Mr Rutte said the Netherlands would observe its first national day of mourning in more than 50 years on Wednesday, when planes carrying the remains of the MH17 victims are scheduled to arrive at an airport in Eindhoven. The Dutch king and queen are expected to attend an arrival ceremony, along with Rutte, other government officials and foreign dignitaries.
British Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted on Tuesday that British air accident investigators would analyse data from the MH17 black boxes, in response to a Dutch request.
In Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said on Tuesday that separatist leader Alexander Borodai had lived up to two of the three agreements he had made during behind-the-scenes negotiations that resulted in the handover of the black boxes and the remains. He said the rebels have not yet granted "full access to the crash site so that the investigation may begin."
A Malaysian team has "taken custody of the black boxes, which appear to be in good condition," he said. "They will held securely in Malaysian custody while the international investigation team is being formalised. At that time, we will pass the black boxes to the international investigation team for further analysis."
Mr Najib said he was "relieved" that the two sides were able to "secure the breakthrough" that has ended the impasse but that he continued to press for full access to the crash site for investigators.
"So far, the agreement has been honoured," he said. "Malaysia requests that this cooperation continue, and that investigators are granted the full access to the site which was agreed."

Everybody complains about Naruto becoming boring or not as good as the first part. Well the reason for that is not the manga itself, but the negativity from the readers who calls themselves Naruto Fans.
Here are some examples.
Some of you look for plotholes in each chapter. Saying plothole when they don't understand something and don't even give Kishi time to explain things. When the time really comes for Kishi to explain things, the damage are already done and it still counts as a plothole, even though it's been explained.
Even little mistakes like the hokage faces in the Obito flashback or the first view of the rinnegan, when pain was shown in the cave (which had a different design)are counted as a plotholes, even though it's just mistakes.
We all know that they do the most damage. Often makes their character look invinceable and annoy the hell out of the other fans. And with that, people start to hate the characters that becomes overhyped. When that character shows a new feat, like say Kakashi... The fanboys starts to overhype him, making his feat look more impressive than it actually was, which makes other fans try to bring that hype down. Making hate threads about that character.
Comparing mangas:
There are often people who are fans of other mangas, that compare Naruto with them. I don't care if there are better mangas out there, but they are totally different mangas. I don't watch or read Naruto to compare it with dragonball, one piece or bleach, because they are worlds apart from each other.
Some come up with ridiculous theories. I don't say it's bad to go a little overboard, but some actually believes the stuff they put in their theory and when it's not happening, they become dissapointed and blame Kishi, calling him a bad writer.
There are more examples, but that alone gives you an example of what people are doing. It's not that Naruto is becoming boring, it's because of the so-called fans that makes it look boring. With so much negativity coming from fans, it's hard to enjoy the manga. I know I won't change anything with this, but I atleast want people to get an idea on how we are affecting Naruto.

Reporting from Jinqiao
10.01.2013 - 13.01.2013
View Winter in China on aboo10's travel map.
Mum and Dad have been visiting since Christmas, and very kindly and ably looked after our little darlings while last week we went to Harbin. And as part of their ticket to China received a 'free' domestic flight and we had suggested Beijing as somewhere that after 9 trips to China they should really consider visiting. Aside from which Jie Jie had told me that she needed to climb the Great Wall of China, as she clearly doesn't remember her first visit when she was 2 years old. Needless to say Didi didn't remember visiting it either as a 10 week old baby. So we decided to go along too as an opportunity to visit the Great Wall. But Mike was in Bangkok for a work thing, and would fly in to Beijing on Saturday morning ready to go straight up to Mutianyu.
I decided to make life easy for us in Beijing, as without Mike for most of it, and managing both my small children and my 'old' parents (as described by a number of Chinese) by hiring a car and driver for the whole trip. Unfortunately, I also booked us into a Hutong style accommodation as they had been keen to give authentic Chinese life a go after our great success in accommodation in Yangshuo last April. The owner had assured me he would make everything as comfortable as possible for my parents, and then checked them into a room where the shower was literally above the toilet. There was no way to not get water all over the bathroom, completely inappropriate for 'old people'. I had booked the family room for us, yet it was quite kid unfriendly, well Didi managed to burn his hand (quite mildly) on the heater, but our bathroom did have a bath and shower! So after one night we checked out, and into the super plush Peninsula.
Our first full day in Beijing was a full one. After breakfast, packing up and checking out, we headed to Tiananmen Square. We walked around the enormous square, marvelling at its size and for Mum and Dad realising just how cold -10 degrees really is. I felt quite at ease, as I had got used to super low temperatures the week before in Harbin! We saw the queue to visit Mao's Mausoleum, and decided that in the cold we were really better off keeping on moving around.
After Tiananmen Square, we headed across the road and through the Gate of Heavenly Peace (the one with the massive portrait of Chairman Mao) and up to the Forbidden City. While we were walking up there, I got a phone call from Mike (who was at an International Job Fair in Bangkok) telling me that he'd been offered a job... In Düsseldorf, so suddenly I was about to visit the Forbidden City, but thinking about a possible move to Germany! All very exciting and conflicting... thinking about Black Forest cakes, castles and sausages while marvelling over Ming Bridges, decorated wood panels and clocks all at the same time. Speaking of clocks, in the Forbidden City, for a small extra fee there is an amazing collection of clocks and watches, mostly made in China over the last 300 years, but also a number of fine specimens from Europe. Some were very elaborate, and exquisitely decorated with jade, gilted gold, pearls and other precious gems.
But our time in the cold was starting to take it's toll, so from there we called our driver and decided to go and check into our new hotel. Although it was only mid-afternoon, we told him to finish up for the day, because the next day was going to be a super early start...

At the Paris Motor Show, Toyota revealed the specs of the new Verso S MPV. The equipment list of the Toyota Verso S includes on-board audio, Bluetooth and rear parking monitor. After the launch of the Toyota Verso S the company will also introduce a Navi-Box multimedia booster system.
The Toyota Verso S price list will be announced later, as the new version of the MPV will go on sale in February 2011.
Toyota marks a first in the mini-MPV segment by equipping Verso-S with a new 6.1-inch, full colour Touch Screen Multimedia Interface. This gives clear and easy access to controls for the radio, CD/MP3 player and Bluetooth. There is also a USB port for connecting portable music players, and the screen can display album cover artwork (with compatible music players) and present the real-time view from a rear parking camera.
At a later date, Toyota will introduce Navi-Box as an option, a booster system that allows pictures to be viewed and music to be sorted from a USB-connected source.
Navi-Box enhances satellite navigation functions, with speed camera warnings and motorway signage, and it gives access to Google-connected services, for example points of interest that can be downloaded from the internet and entered as destinations. Other applications include links to social networking services, fuel prices, news and weather reports.
Note: At the Paris Motor Show, Aisin AW displayed an internet-capable Toyota navigation system.

The play also delves into the world of dyslexia and the power of an uncle's lessons in how one can learn to read by playing the game of Scrabble.

SPRING HILL — Challenger K-8 teacher Margie Yurtinus recently helped her students celebrate what they learned this school year with a literary cafe. Parents and grandparents were invited to her classroom for lunch and a chance to see how her students grew in literary skills.
Yurtinus has been teaching kindergarteners how to read and write in Hernando County for 31 years. She has been at Moton Elementary, Westside Elementary, Suncoast Elementary and J.D. Floyd, which is now a K-8 school.
She saved writing pieces every month through April and early May for the cafe's display.
"It showed their growth of writing and reading throughout the year," she said.
At the beginning of the school year, Yurtinus said, children are generally nonwriters. The children learn some phonics and sight words and their writings are combinations of both.
She said she encourages the children to write about what they know. The focus, she said, is on enjoying writing and expressing their thoughts and getting them down on paper and adding details. Worries about spelling and correct grammar can wait.
As they complete projects, the children take them to Yurtinus, who goes over revisions with them individually and tries "to nudge them along to another level," she said.
Besides writing about things they know, the children also write about what they learn in class. A big project this year was about Colonial times. They discussed and wrote about various topics like the era's foods, games and George Washington.
"They do a lot of reading through their writing pieces," she said. "We do writing every day."
At the literary cafe, where the children served fruit, vegetables, quiche, muffins, doughnuts and beverages to their guests, there were a number of examples of each child's work. Parents were asked to choose their favorite of their children's pieces and distinguish it with a sticker.
Misa Viveiros, 6, liked that part. "They got to put a sticker on their favorites," she said. My mom liked the Japanese one best." Misa also enjoyed the other parts of the event. "We got to read to our parents and we got to serve them food," she said.
Other children echoed Misa. Makayla Messaris, who likes to write letters, said, "We got to read to our parents. They got to see how good we write."
Christian Cooper, 6, whose mother and baby brother came to the literary cafe, said he liked reading "I Am America," one of his writing pieces, to his family. Reading is important, he said, "because you can learn how to write very good." He also sees the value in writing. "You can use it for reading and practicing words."
Lisa Kroll, 42, is a volunteer in Yurtinus' classroom, where her daughter Kylie Kroll, 6, is a student. She also had another son who in the class an earlier year. Lisa Kroll said could see that Kylie got more artistic throughout the year. She became better able to express herself and her spelling has improved.
Kroll appreciated the opportunity to see her child's progression at the literary cafe. "You get to see how your child has grown throughout the year," she said.

Another vegan-friendly restaurant with yummy appetizers is Cafe Koi. The menu has a special section for "karma appetizers" that includes vegetable dumplings, crispy ginger tofu chunks and yam wedges.

Came across this little piece of tour footage we posted while on the road, and I figured it might not hurt to give it some attention again.

Christina Aguilera
I think that this Santa dress should be mandatory clothing for all women in the month of December. Sure there are a lot of fatties out there that wouldn't make it look as good as Christina Aguilera does, but that's the kind of sacrifice you have to make when you want to see a bunch of sexy Santa-ettes walking around. And believe you me, that's something I'd very much want to see.

I'm a novice at jquery (or maybe just a beginner).
I have this page - http://aug4th.com/testpage/index_test.html (content has been removed so ignore the broken menu and empty areas)
I only need help with the portion that says, "Target at scale..." and has floating people.
Right now on hover, the profile images change along with the background image. I need the profile images to animate in a way where their name remains in place (animators, photographers, etc) and the image quickly fades into the next and fades out when you move away. Right now it's jumpy. I'm not sure how to approach it.
I tried to animate it and do some things but i really couldn't get right.
Hey rpeg,
The trick here is to, rather than swap the images out like you're currently doing, to have both images on the page and then fade from one to the other.
I've knocked up a quick demo on JS Fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/GeekyJohn/Skf6v/
The basics are:

Just basic markup - a container that will be relatively positioned, then we absolutely position the images inside of it.
.pic { /* pic container */
position: relative;
float: left;
.pic img { /* pics are absolutely positioned so their content can overlap exactly */
position: absolute;
/* if you need to, you can position the off or on image slightly differently so that things line up better */
.pic img.off { /* hide the "off" state by default */
display: none;
so, css is pretty basic as well - no need for it to be too complicated
//monitor the mouseenter/leave events
$(".pic").on("mouseenter mouseleave", function(e){
//make sure we're showing/hiding the correct els
var showEl = e.type === "mouseenter" ? ".off" : ".on",
hideEl = e.type === "mouseenter" ? ".on" : ".off";
// fade in/out the elements, play around with the speeds for different effects
// sometimes a fast fadeout and slightly slower fadein can look nice for example
$(this).find(showEl).fadeIn( 500);
Again, the JavaScript is relatively simple, it's the combination of css/js/markup that makes it all work nicely

This is definitely a global issue for indigenouspeople.
The few success stories generally arise from adetermination within
communities to gain land titles, increasedpublic awareness both at
the national level as well asinternationally and get the crucial exposure
to other groupsinvolved in similar struggles.
Some of the miss representedsolutions to similar problems given
media coverage as solvedbut in the actual sense, far from it are:
The establishmentof the Indian protection service (s.p.i), which was
agovernment agency, commissioned to protect the Indian lives in
theamazon. As a result of the deculturing and destruction through
disease and genocide (supported and contradicted by theconstitutions)
employed (perpetrated by the frontiers ofdevelopment invading the lands
used by the indigenouspeople, Hiring of professional ways tactics)
of killing thepeople. The same (s.p.i), like most of the government
supportedorganizations started to see into the well-being of the
indigenouscommunities and people was found guilty of gross abuse
of thepeople they were meant to protect. In 1967 an investigationcarried
found officials guilty of corruption amongst officials,revealing shocking
testimonies of undesired ,cruelty, ranging frommassacre of whole
tribes to child slavery and further indictmentsincluded the deliberate
introduction of infectious diseases andpoison in the form of "gifts" of
sugar laced witharsenic, Evidence implicated (s.p.i) workers in murders.
Sexualperversions, embezzlement of funds, robbery and fraudulent sale
ofIndian lands (same as what the councils are currently doing inKenya).
The above events led to the formation of the FUNAI,which still exists to
this date. In this we have seensimilar problems arising, one official
(Antonio cotrin) one ofbrazils most dedicated Indian agents, resigned from
FUNAIannouncing that he could not continue and was tired of being agrave
digger of the Indians "I do not intend tocontribute to enrichment of economic
groups at theexpense/cost of the extinction of the "primitive" cultures,
the denunciation of pacification techniques employed by FUNAIagents
served as a turning point, publicizing what contrimclaimed were orchestrated
and brutal tactics against allrecently contacted tribes during that time.
The question weask is how genuine are we in up holding human rights?
Fromour historical backgrounds, most of the governments concernedharbor
hidden agendas and operate back-stage and work as secretagents for what
we are against, thus defeating the whole purposeof our organisations.
The governments are the only unifying bodythat we were hopeful of after independence.
They haveunfortunately betrayed the support of the native indigenous peopleand are
being led and dictated to, by the whims of a few Superwar powers.
......What sets the native cultures apart frommany others is our attitude toward
life. Simply stated, we believewe were not born ON this Earth, we were born OF this
Earth. Inother words, the Earth is our mother and we would no sooner mistreather
than you would the woman who raised you. This is the primaryingredient in the
cultural glue that holds us all together.
In 1851, the united states
congresspassed the indian appropriations act which authorized the creationof
Indian reservations in modern day Oklahoma. Relations betweensettlers and
natives had grown increasingly worse as the settlersencroached on territory
and natural resources in the West.
Bythe late 1860´s, President Ulysses
s. grant pursued a stated"Peace Policy" as a possible solution to
the conflict.The policy included a reorganization of the Indian Service, with
thegoal of relocating various tribes from their ancestral homes toparcels of
lands established specifically for their inhabitation.The policy called for
the replacement of government officials byreligious men, nominated by
churches, to oversee the Indianagencies on reservations in order to teach Christianity
to thenative tribes. The Quakers were especially active in this policyon
reservations. The "civilization"policy was aimed at eventually
preparing the tribes forcitizenship.
Reservation treaties sometimes included stipendagreements, in which the federal government would grant a
certainamount of goods to a tribe yearly. The implementation of the policywas
erratic, however, and in many cases the stipend goods were notdelivered.
The policy was controversial from
the start.Reservations were generally established by executive order. Inmany
cases, white settlers objected to the size of land parcels,which were
subsequently reduced. A report submitted to Congress in1868 found widespread corruption
among the federal Native Americanagencies and generally poor conditions among
the relocatedtribes.
Many tribes ignored the relocation orders at first andwere forced onto their new limited land parcels.
Enforcement ofthe policy required the united states army to restrict the
movementsof various tribes. The pursuit of tribes in order to force themback
onto reservations led to a number of Native American Wars.The most well known
conflict was the sioux war on the northerngreat plains, between 1876 and 1881,
which included the battle oflittle bighorn. Other famous wars in this regard
included the nezperce war.
By the late 1870s, the policy
established byPresident Grant was regarded as a failure, primarily because it
hadresulted in some of the bloodiest wars between Native Americans andthe
United States. By 1877, President Rutherford B. Haves beganphasing out the
policy, and by 1882 all religious organizationshad relinquished their
authority to the federal Indianagency.
Most Indian reservations, like the Laguna Indianreservation in New Mexico, are in the
western United States, oftenin arid regions unsuitable for agriculture.
In 1887, Congressundertook a significant change in reservation policy by the passageof the Dawes act, or
General Allotment (Severalty) Act. The actended the general policy of granting
land parcels to tribesas-a-whole by granting small parcels of land to
individual tribemembers. In some cases, for example the Umatilla indian
Reservation,after the individual parcels were granted out of reservationland,
the reservation area was reduced by giving the excess landto white settlers.
The individual allotment policy continued until1934, when it was terminated by
the Indian Reorganizationact.
The Indian New Deal
The Indianreaorganization Act of
1934, also known as the Howard-Wheeler Act,was sometimes called the Indian
new deal. It laid out new rightsfor Native Americans, reversed some of the
earlier privatizationof their common holdings, and encouraged self Government
and landmanagement by tribes. The act slowed the assignment of tribal landsto
individual members, and reduced the assignment of ´extra´holdings to
For the following twenty years,the
U.S. government invested in infrastructure, health care, andeducation on the
reservations, and over two million acres (8,000km²) of land were returned to
various tribes. Within a decade ofJohn Colliers´s retirement (the initiator of
the Indian New Deal)the government´s position began to swing in the opposite
direction.The new Indian Commissioners Myers and Emmons introduced the ideaof
the "withdrawal program" or "termination"which sought to
end the government´s responsibility andinvolvement with Indians and to force
their assimilation. TheIndians would lose their lands but be compensated
(though thosewho lost their lands often weren´t). Though discontent andsocial
rejection killed the idea before it was fully implemented,five tribes were
terminated (Coushattas, Utes, Paiutes, Menomineesand Klamaths) and 114 groups
in California lost their federalrecognition as tribes. Many individuals were
also relocated tocities only to have a full third of them return to their
tribes inthe decades following.
The Canadian Indianstory.
Indian Reserve (19630).In Canada, an Indianreserve
is specified by the Indian act as a "tract of land,the legal title to
which is vested in Her Majesty, that has beenset apart by Her Majesty for the
use and benefit of a band."The Act also specifies that land reserved for
the use and benefitof a band which is not vested in the Crown (for example,Wikwemikong
Unceded Reserve on Manitoulin Islands) is also subjectto the Indian Act
provisions governing reserves. Superficially areserve is similar to an American
Indian reservation, although thehistories of the development of reserves and
reservations aremarkedly different. Although the American term reservation
isoccasionally used, reserve is normally the standard term inCanada.
The terms Native reserve, First nations reserve andFirst Nation are also
widely used instead of Indian reserve.Strictly speaking, however First Nation
more properly designates agroup which may occupy more than one reserve.
For example, theMunsee-Delaware nation in Ontario is only one of three
reservesin Western Ontario occupied by members of the Munsee-Delaware
FirstNation. In all, there are over 600 occupied reserves in Canada, most
of them quite small in area.
The Indian Act gives theMinister of indian Affairs the right to "determine
whetherany purpose for which lands in a reserve are used is for the use
andbenefit of the band." Title to land within the reserve may onlybe
transferred to the band or to individual band members. Reservelands
may not be seized legally, nor is the personal property of aband or
a band member living on a reserve subject to"charge,pledge, mortgage,
attachment, levy, seizure distress or executionin favour or at the instance
of any person other than an Indianor a band" (section 89 (1) of the Indian
Act. As a resultreserves and their residents have great difficulty obtaining
financing. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has,however,
created an on-reserve housing loan program in whichmembers of bands
which enter into a trust agreement with CMHC andlenders can receive
loans to build or repair houses. In otherprograms loans to residents of
reserves are guaranteed by thefederal government.
Provinces and municipalities mayexpropriate reserve land only if specifically
authorized by aprovincial or federal law. Few reserves have any economic
advantages, such as resource revenues. The revenues of thosereserves
which do are held in trust by the Minister of IndianAffairs. Reserve lands
and the personal property of bands andresident band members are exempt
from all forms of taxationexcept local taxation. Corporations owned by
members of FirstNations are not exempt, however. This exemption has
allowed bandmembers operating in proprietorships or partnerships to sell
heavilytaxed goods such as cigarettes on their reserves at pricesconsiderably
lower than those at stores off the reserves.
Mostreserves are self-governed, within the limits already described,under
guidelines established by the Indian Act.
A majority of the communities inKenya considered as marginalized or
indigenous are normallypastoralists and hunter-gatherers. Their
choice of livelihoodcould be because of the territories they elect
to inhabit. Thepastoralists have traditionally occupied lands
suitable forlivestock grazing, mainly situated in the savannahs,
arid andsemi-arid regions.
The hunter-gatherers are usually forestdwellers relying on the
forests for fruits, roots, honey andhunting such as the Ogiek.
Land and property rights ofMarginalized Communities
From the time of Kenyascolonization, lands traditionally owned by indigenous
peoples weretreated as being terra nullius
This is a view erroneously adoptedby the state from the colonial law
doctrine of terra nullius andwas applied to mean that indigenous lands are legallyunoccupied
until the arrival of a colonial presence and cantherefore become the
property of the colonial power throughoccupation.
In Kenya, since colonial times laws have servedto dispossess indigenous
peoples of their traditional lands. TheCrown Lands Ordinance of
1904 and subsequent colonial land lawsand policies were aimed at further
disinheritance andmarginalization of Africans.
Eventually, through the RJMSwynnerton Plan of 1955, the colonial
authorities decided toindividualize land tenure. This discriminatory
land policy wasadopted and retained by the independent State of
Inadequateconsultation and participation of indigenous peoples over
mattersaffecting their lands and resources
In Kenya, theestablishment of the national parks, such as the Manyara,
Serengeti,Maasai Mara and Amboseli, has caused tremendous land
alienationand eviction and a restriction of local communities from
resourcesthat were critical for their survival withoutcompensation,
supposedly in the national interest.
The UNSpecial Rapporteur on Indigenous Peoples in his report on an
officialmission to Kenya notes that in Kenya local indigenous
communitiesdo not participate in the management of the parks and
reserves anddo not benefit from the revenue.
This has often caused tensionand conflict with investors and
government agencies running thereserves.
Access of marginalised communities to justice
InKenya, corruption
and the biased application of the law, resultingfrom the lack of
independence of the judges from the Executive,have been identified
as impediments to the effective enforcementof law and order, with
serious negative consequences forindigenous peoples claims for
example the decision of theAfrican Court in the Endorois
case is yet to beimplemented.
Another factor inhibiting indigenous peoplesaccess to justice is a lack
of comprehension and knowledge of thewestern law, often due to the language
and complexity of acolonial and a criminal inspired law. The first component of theissue is
closely linked to the question of indigenous peoplesaccess to
education. The languages used in Kenyan courts areEnglish and
Kiswahili. Most indigenous peoples do not speak theseofficial
languages. Their inability to understand the languageused in the
courts jeopardises greatly their access to a fairjustice and can
even inhibit their will to approach a court.
TheOgiek Community
During the colonial
period, the Ogiekwere not recognized as a tribal entity and
therefore excluded fromthe National distribution of Land in 1930s.
They were thus neverplaced nor settled in any specific reserve by
the colonialists butinstead allowed to live in their ancestral lands
within the largerMau Forest complex. Successive Government regimes
have continuedto ignore their rights and have not made any steps in
correctingthese historical injustices.
Not long ago, the Ogiek who arehunter-gatherers were forcefully removed
from the Mau forest,through the gazettement of the forest, which in
effect denied themaccess to their traditional lands which formed the
basis of theirculture, spiritual beliefs and livelihood. The
Ogiek claimed thatthey have lived in the forest for hundreds of
years, in harmonywith their surroundings. Their hunter-gatherer
lifestyle, whichdoes not involve either farming or livestock
grazing, has had avery low impact on their environment. They also
practicebee-keeping, which actually aids the propagation of wild
flowersand trees.
The reasons given for their forceful eviction from theforest was that
the Mau Forest is an important water catchmentarea and the
government of Kenya is concerned that the residentsof the forest are
committing irreparable environmental damage andmust be relocated.
But the Ogiek are not the only currentresidents of Mau; in recent
decades the forest complex has seen aninflux of loggers, tea
planters and other agriculturalsettlers.
For the Ogiek to be singled out as the ones causingdamage to the forest
amounts to discrimination as there are allthese groups and
organizations causing greater harm to the forestthan the Ogiek.
The Maasai Community
that the Maasai constitute about 1.2% of Kenyaspopulation (36.9
Million). In
Kenya, the Maasai are found inKajiado, Narok, Transmara, Laikipia
and parts of Baringo district.They are also cousins of the Samburu
(since they speak the samelanguage) who in turn reside in Samburu, Marsabit
and Isiolodistricts.
The Maasai are considered as a marginalised pastoralistcommunity in
Kenyan, their discrimination and marginalisation canbe said to have
began in 1904 when a number of Maasai leaderssigned a treaty with
the British colonial authority according towhich the Laikipia
reserve shall be protected on behalf of Maasaias long as the
Maasai as a race shall exist, and that Europeanor other settlers
shall not be allowed to take up land in thesettlement.15
Despite this clause, later in 1911 the colonialauthority then
administering Kenya managed to conclude anothertreaty with a number
of Maasai local leaders. In terms of this newagreement, the Maasai
were once again asked to move toward thesouth. For most of the
Maasai, in so doing, the colonial authoritydisregarded the terms of
the agreement of 1904 which, as it isquoted above, stated that the
Maasai shall never be moved again aslong as they shall exit. The
Maasai also argued that the secondagreement was obtained by duress
and that it did not receive theapproval of the tribe. These
arguments were particularly echoed inthe 1913 case of Ole
Njogo & Others v The Attorney-General &Others.
In the case, a number of Maasai, claiming to represent allother
Maasai, went to court. The Court of Appeal for EasternAfrica ruled
that the agreements were not contracts, as alleged bythe Maasai, but
treaties which are not enforceable in municipalcourts.
The Nubian Community
Kenyan Nubianshave
been defined as stateless people because their identityis
questioned. They are without doubt one of the countrysmost
invisible and under-represented communities economically,
socially, politically and culturally. This isbecause they have been
silent victims of discrimination, exclusionand violations of human
rights and fundamental freedoms for aslong as they have been in
Urban Settings in Kenya suchas Nairobi (Kibera slum), Kisumu,
Mumias, Kisii, Isiolo, Kapsabet,Migori, Meru and Eldama Ravine
have become hosts to many Nubianfamilies over the years.
Their occupation in Kenya can be tracedback to the reign of the
British colonialists in Kenya in the1900s and now
number to about 100,000. Nubians in East Africa arenot a single
ethnic group but a constellation of people belongingto different
tribes. Nubians live in temporary structuresthroughout Kenya
and often on contested lands. Most Nubianssettlements do not
have title deeds and are only occupied on aTemporary
Occupational Licence (TOL), leaving the presentgeneration of
Nubians as mere squatters.
Originally fromthe Nuba Mountains present day Sudan, many have been bornand
continue to live in Kenya for decades by virtue of beingdescendants
of the Sudanese ex-servicemen conscripted into theBritish colonial
military, the Kings African Rifles (thencalled Askaris)
Following a mutiny in 1897, the British rescindedits decision to
repatriate them and instead dispersed thecommunity into Kenyan
territory. Most of the Nubians in Kenyapractice Islam (are Muslims)
and have acquired a shared identity.
The Nubians have attempted to present their grievances throughthe courts
.with no success.
How we manage to have peacewhile living in such a society, is a clear
miracle and i wonderif it really does exist, if not just peoplepretending.

We had a few ideas on places to eat for our friend's birthday but all of them were busy and would require either 30 mins to an hour wait. Hy's Steakhouse wasn't actually one of the options, because it is really pricey. But since it was on a friend's bucket list, we went anyway. Hy's was actually on the complete opposite side of the village from where we parked, and luckily when we got to the restaurant we were seated fairly quickly.
For my starter, I ordered the Carpaccio, and since I've been looking for a Yorkshire Pudding, I ordered the Prime Rib. The carpaccio was delicious – just the perfect mix of ingredients. Love the extra kick added from the mustard. The Yorkshire pudding was good too. A lot better than I've had recently. Thankfully not stale, and nice and airy, and still crispy. The prime rib was cooked perfectly, and very tender and juicy.
For starters, my friends ordered the Tuna Tataki, Fresh Oysters, and Shrimp Cocktail. From what I heard, the Tuna Tataki was amazing. It almost melted in your mouth, and didn't really taste like tuna. It was very meaty.
My friends ordered a mix of different mains. One friend said that his steak was the best he's ever had! Though the fish dish was overcooked.
For dessert we had Pecan Pie, Creme Brulee, and a Cheesecake, which were all really good.
Hy's is awesome, and we had such an awesome dinner to recover after a day on the mountain. The staff is really friendly too. I personally like the food here better than Gotham Steakhouse. I'll have to try a better cut to see if it is really better than my favourite steak (so far) at Del Frisco's in Las Vegas.

Completing the B.S. in Public Health Studies
This is a general guide to the steps you will need to take to complete your degree. The College and Department advisors will make every effort to assist you in the process. Remember, though, that this is your degree. It is your responsibility to stay abreast of the curriculum as outlined in the current catalog.
Declaring your major (60-75 semester hours completed)
You must be cleared by your general advisor in the HHP advising center in order to declare the major. The specific major requirements to declare are as follows:
Community Health– must be within 10 sh (32 hours or more completed) of completing your foundation curriculum and have an ECU cumulative GPA of 2.5 or higher.
Prehealth Professions- must be within 10 sh (32 hours or more completed) of completing your foundation curriculum and have a 2.75 GPA on CHEM 1150/51, CHEM 1160/61, BIOL 1100/01, and BIOL 1200/01 (16 hours).
Worksite Health Promotion- must be within 10 sh (32 hours or more completed) of completing your foundation curriculum, a 2.5 GPA on ECON 2113, HLTH 2000, and PSYC 3241 (9 hours), and have an ECU cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher.
If you are coming from another major or transferring from another college or university you must go through the college advising center for transcript analysis before declaring. Failure or inability (due to academic deficiencies) to declare the major before completing 75 semester hours may negatively impact your graduation date.
Declaring the major requires that you contact your current advisor from the college advising center.
Preparation for Internship and Graduation (90–100 semester hours completed)
Before completing 100 semester hours you should make an appointment with your advisor to (1) complete your Senior Summary, (2) complete your Undergraduate Graduation Application and (3) schedule an appointment with the Internship Coordinator, Ms. Rose Haddock.
The Senior Summary form designates the specific courses that you will take in order to satisfy the degree requirements. After it is filed any change in your program will require approval of your advisor. Your advisor will also file an amended Senior Summary with the registrar's office.
If you are completing an internship (most of you will be) the experience will be supervised by the program's Internship Coordinator. Internship guidelines for each program are available at the program's internship site. Prior to the 100-hour mark you should meet with the Internship Coordinator to begin exploring internship options.
