3100 S. Tillotson Avenue Muncie, IN 47302 Telephone: 765-747-5370 FAX: 765-751-0666 Principal: DiLynn Phelps Grade Levels: 6-8 Wilson Middle School Web Site
Research Rubric: (3) School staff, pre-service teachers, and University faculty are engaged in the examination of an important educational research question through study of research literature and classroom experimentation. Results could lead to professional dissemination through publication or presentation. Notes: Interviews with a parent, faculty and staff members of various experience levels revealed a reliance on action research to guide student learning. There is evidence of action research as a way of life at Wilson. Veteran teachers are willingly challenged by BSU pre-service teachers to try new teaching methods in their classrooms. The fear of change, which often paralyzes student achievement, has been replaced by excitement for the results to be found in new and innovative lessons and units for school improvement. Interviewees discussed posting pre- and post-test results, reliance on ISTEP data, requests for parent input, a research-based school focus on vocabulary, a growing use of the Internet for best practices across the curriculum, and an acceptance that data is "seamlessly woven into the fabric of who we are and who we want to be." Student Learning Rubric: (3) Students at the school site are demonstrating good improvement in achievement or related desired behaviors, and these improvements appear to be clearly linked to PDS project activities. Notes: Wilson is a data-driven school. Faculty analyze ISTEP scores and look at trends in student performance to determine school improvement goals. Math and English have been incorporated into all subjects. Ball State has supported a teaching literacy skills program for teachers in content area classes. BSU faculty have been involved in recommending resources to improve student learning, obtaining literacy materials, conducting workshops, and consulting with individual teachers. BSU students bring new materials and methods into the classrooms and provide additional support to many Wilson students through both academic and athletic activities. The BSU students demonstrate their impact on student learning through LAMP units, which include the required pre- and post-testing. BSU students learn from Wilson administrators and faculty through the multitude of experiences provided each semester. NCATE STANDARDS Standard I. Learning Communities Standing: "At standard" Conclusion: Support multiple learners. The faculty and staff of Wilson Middle School, along with the BSU PDS liaison, Site Council members, and pre-service teachers show exuberance as they embrace a systemic use of data to address the needs of all of their students. They have all joined hands to organize, what amounts to a safety net, to keep students from failing. Teaching and learning teams are a part of the everyday design of the school. The entire school benefits from administrative and BSU support of PDS by allowing daily office hours for the Wilson liaison. This fosters continuity. All stakeholders are encouraged to access the available resources of BSU and Wilson to attempt new teaching strategies for individual learners. Work and practice are inquiry based and focused in learning. Again and again, interviewees representing a wide range of Wilson stakeholders openly discussed the use of data-driven decision making as a way of life. One veteran teacher noted that a pre-service teacher had brought LAMP units to his classroom and made him a believer of pre- and post-testing. There is a shared sense of mission that goes beyond a feckless mission statement. Interviews and artifacts reveal a fearless reliance on research and data to drive student achievement. One "off-team" member, however, did confess a feeling of isolation from the collaborative decisions about curriculum. Wilson is challenged to reach out to those "off-team" faculty members. Develop a common shared professional vision of teaching and learning grounded in research and practitioner knowledge. Wilson is a school on the move. Interviews with a parent, a pre-service teacher, a new teacher, and a veteran teacher revealed a variety of research-based innovative teaching strategies designed for student achievement and school improvement. This group of interviewees seemed eager to try new strategies without fear. They were a group of professionals who understand their student population and through collaboration and courageous conversations have articulated a shared vision. The challenge is to nurture that vision so that all stakeholders are willing and eager to join the cause. Serve as an element of change. Interviews, artifacts, and conversations revealed a school moving in concert to change the tune. There is a culture devoted to professional development, student achievement, and school improvement turning an unwieldy system away from the status quo toward change. Every interviewee was willing, even excited, to access resources offered via the PDS partnership. University personnel have been seamlessly welcomed to the middle school and are a vital part of the operation. The smoothness of this process is credited to a natural evolution rather than a forced infusion. Extended learning community. Even though many of the stakeholders have attended professional conferences and accessed professional development opportunities, Wilson educators are encouraged to share their stories with other learning communities. Many fledgling PDSs would benefit from knowing how Wilson has designed, nurtured, and evolved as a dynamic learning community. Successes abound and challenges exist. Standard II: Accountability and Quality Assurance Standing: "At standard plus" Conclusion: Develop professional accountability. All teachers' and BSU participants' lesson plans and projects are reviewed by a Wilson administrator, and are posted in most rooms, alongside the agenda for the day. Some teachers are quite detailed, and use the exact standard, (e.g., 7.1.4) and others use the simple basic standard, (e.g., L.A. Standard 4). Teachers are given a folder at the beginning of the school year with the individual students' and schools' ISTEP scores and AYP information. This information and lesson plans must be available for any administrator who enters a classroom and asks for it. Lessons and activities are expected to be based on the data after it is analyzed. Assure public accountability. The Wilson newsletter was cited several times as a way of dispersing information about scores, programs, and allowing parents to have information about research-based methods to improve their child's grades and standardized test scores. In the fall, school administrators meet with parents and review general ISTEP+ information and testing procedures. Once testing results have been received, administrators and teachers meet with individual students and parents to discuss ISTEP+ results and possible remediation strategies. Midterm progress reports and report cards are mailed home. Parents know that information will be coming in this fashion, so they are more cognizant about receiving it. Open House is held twice each year. The first one is held in the fall, and the second is a May event, showcasing the school's achievements in and out of the classroom. Informational booths are also available for the parents and students seeking community resources. The PL-221 school improvement committee consists of staff, parents, and community leaders to help affect change in the school. Tutoring is available after school, through "Motivate Our Minds" at a local community center for a fee. Scholarships are available to pay for the cost. Students are also able to take advantage of an after-school program, AOK, in which they are able to have snacks, tutoring, and mentoring. A grant pays for teachers to facilitate this program. The activities to involve the public are numerous. A monthly "Dad's Night Out" is held, so that the students and the positive male role model in their lives are able to come hear speakers, participate in leisure activities, and gain information about community events and resources to increase parenting skills. In addition, a reading day involving community leaders occurred during the 2004-2005 school year. Individual teams have continued the initiative. Set PDS participation criteria. Wilson is accredited through the North Central Association. All participants are licensed in their areas, although some 6th grade teachers may need to obtain more coursework due to the No Child Left Behind "highly qualified teacher" mandates. Develop assessments, collect information, and use results. Eighty percent of the school's faculty is using pre- and post-test data to evaluate student learning, and this information is used for further planning and assessment. Analysis shows significant student growth in areas assessed. Wilson has also used grant money to hire Kim Tyson, a reading specialist and independent consultant, to provide staff training on areas of need. Mrs. Phelps oversees the grading of student writing assessments throughout the year. Teachers give an ISTEP- style writing prompt in the classroom, and teachers who received training through Ms. Tyson are then paid a stipend to grade these according to the ISTEP rubric for writing. The teachers (writing assessment team) also discuss overall results, make note of weaknesses and strengths and have shared this information with staff. These assessments aid in driving their writing progress. In particular, analysis of data shows that the students who fail one or both portions of the ISTEP also perform poorly in language arts classes. Therefore, the teachers are utilizing a team approach and emphasizing language arts skills across the curriculum. Guidance counselors are using the discipline data to identify children in need of conflict resolution skills training. They also have individual counseling sessions with these students, in addition to helping them with interpersonal skills. Engage with the PDS context. PDS participants are able to network with other schools at the PDS Institute meetings held each semester. Wilson also meets with Southside High School's PDS to collaborate on the design of experiences from one school to the next. In particular, the 2006 Southside juniors who were on individual teams at WMS will return to mentor 8th grade team members attending Southside, and will then serve as informal mentors to those same 8th grade students when they are freshmen next year, and the mentors are seniors at Southside. Additionally, two of the Wilson Site Council members are on the Minnetrista Site Council. Misty Barton, one of the adjunct faculty members, is also involved in lobbying at the state level as a member of her teachers' union and is able to bring about discussion regarding the PDS in that manner. Standard III. Collaboration Standing: "At standard plus" Conclusion: Engage in joint work. Wilson and BSU have a history of collaboration in the preparation of future teachers, but the formal partnership has expanded the collaboration to include staff development, research, and a focus on learning at all levels. As one teacher said, "There is a Ball State feel in the building, a knowledge that the university is here." Wilson Site Council members have served as consultants to BSU as the university developed new professional education licensing programs. The university liaisons and BSU students have been involved in the Wilson professional development by organizing a forum for new teachers, recommending resources, making classroom presentations, and demonstrating new methodology. "Teachers of the Year Day" was organized by the BSU liaison and those teachers spent most of the day at Wilson. University math faculty have assisted with analyzing student assessments. The Site Council involves both Wilson and university representatives. Wilson Site Council and Southside Site Council have had joint meetings because they share the EDSEC 380/385 students and share the same student population. Design roles and structures to enhance collaboration and develop parity. Wilson dedicates one classroom to the university partnership work. Two Wilson teachers are awarded BSU adjunct faculty status as the primary teacher representatives in the partnership and they are given a daily duty period by Wilson to facilitate the partnership work. They collaborate with the BSU liaison to provide seminars for EDSEC 380/385 students, offer daily assistance to Wilson supervising teachers, and provide support for the student teachers. Lesley Schaeffer has been actively involved on the PDS Network Executive Committee and, along with Misty Barton, participates on the Minnetrista Site Council. Both adjunct faculty members and the principal are active participants in the PDS Network. Systematically recognize and celebrate joint work and contributions to each other. Wilson faculty members regularly attend the showcase portfolio presentations of the student teachers each semester. The adjunct faculty have shared at PDS Network Advisory Council meetings. BSU provides Wilson with $1,000 yearly in appreciation of their participation. Standard IV. Diversity and Equity Standing: "At standard" Conclusion: Ensures equitable opportunities to learn. Wilson teachers and administrators gather data about the strengths and weaknesses of students through a variety of testing measures. Data from standardized tests and formative classroom assessments is analyzed to identify strengths and weaknesses. NCREL has provided training to assist administrators and teachers as they examine student data. Through this process staff have identified student learning according to race, gender, etc., and utilizes information to target students that need additional help. Goal sheets are created, and faculty work to help those students. The goal worksheets establish plans for improvement, actions to take, timelines, and how what is working will be assessed. Best practices are shared during faculty, team, and department meetings. Evaluates policies and practices to support equitable learning outcomes. There are several programs at Wilson that provide support for students of diversity. The ICAN Store was established in order to provide for the educational needs of Wilson students with moderate to severe disabilities. These students will have the same support at Southside. Practicum students from the BSU Department of Counseling and Guidance Services provide free after school counseling for students and parents. To prepare for ISTEP+, the "Rap, Rhythm and Rhyme" writing seminar was initiated by administrators and staff for 2006. Big Brothers and Big Sisters of Central Indiana conducted a training session for more than 45 faculty members to participate in the PAWS mentoring program. This program for identified at-risk students assigns teacher mentors for the purpose of helping students cope with the everyday stresses and responsibilities of school and home life. The program is being monitored to determine if grades and attendance are improving and there is a reduction in referrals. Honors placement exists for those students who qualify in English, math, science, and social studies. The Twenty-first Century Scholars program is instituted by the Wilson guidance department early in the year and is established as a possibility for students who qualify and will continue to qualify throughout their high school career. Recruit and support diverse participants. Wilson provides a diverse population for BSU students to learn from and teach before joining the professional workforce. This is a critical service for the BSU students, as their training in diversity and special needs is limited in the secondary education program. The BSU student group is not a diverse group nor is the teaching staff at Wilson. It would be an asset to have more of a diverse group of BSU students at Wilson. Standard V. Structures, Resources and Roles Standing: "Leading" Conclusion: Establish governance and support structures. The Wilson Site Council that includes the BSU liaison, Wilson administrators and teachers, and community representatives, meets regularly fall and spring semesters. The adjunct faculty members take leadership responsibilities for partnership activities on a daily basis. BSU assigns a faculty member as the liaison. The principal, adjunct faculty, and BSU liaison participate in PDS Network activities. Ensure progress towards goals. The Wilson Site Council establishes goals for the partnership. These goals are reviewed and revised yearly and a written report is submitted to the PDS Network director. BSU grants have provided Wilson teachers and administrators support to attend national conferences and resources to implement follow-up activities to improve instruction Create PDS roles. Wilson faculty members supervise student teachers and work with the practicum students in EDSEC 380/385. Two Wilson teachers and the principal have BSU adjunct faculty status. A BSU faculty member is assigned as the liaison for partnership activities. Resources. BSU gives Wilson $1,000 annually to support the partnership. Individual teachers receive a stipend for each student teacher they supervise. The school corporation supports requests from administrators and teachers to participate in partnership activities. Teachers and administrators devote extra time to mentor BSU students and the school provides a classroom for BSU classes. Use effective communication. The partnership is recognized throughout the school as well as in school brochures, newsletters, and the Wilson Web site. The Site Council submits required reports and the school representatives communicate partnership activities at the PDS Network meetings. Summary/Recommendations The site review team enjoyed its visit to Wilson Middle School and sees evidence of a strong PDS partnership. Commendations:

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Pierce Hornung had 18 points and 10 rebounds, leading four players in double figures, as Colorado State crushed Virginia Tech 88-52 in the Las Vegas Classic championship game Sunday night. The Rams, after a methodical and balanced approach in a first half that gave them a 33-27 lead at halftime, opened the second half on a 12-2 run and went on to outscore the Hokies 55-25. Dorian Green also scored 18 points for the Rams (10-2), while Greg Smith had 17 and Colton Iverson added 15. Playing in front of a sparse crowd at the Orleans Arena, the Rams made a statement in winning the title in front of a nationally televised audience. Facing arguably its toughest test of the season, the Mountain West's Colorado State showed no signs of intimidation against the ACC's Hokies (9-3), in the first-ever meeting between the two programs.

Perfect for my 3 yr old daughter. We bought it and put it together prior to Xmas morning so we could be sure it was all set. For the price we couldn't have beat the deal anywhere else. She will be so happy when she gets it on Christmas. Oh and this was the easiest toy I've ever put together...my husband and I got it together in no time.

See all my reviews
This is the second dollhouse that we have bought for our granddaughter, because her Barbie's need to visit each other. We didn't have room for another large dollhouse, but this one fit in just perfect. It is really more spacious than the larger dollhouses due to not having stairs to deal with. She was so happy when she opened it up. It's a great dollhouse for the money. You really can't go wrong with this product!
Very Cute

Mickie James Speaks - WWE Firing, TNA Debut, Piggie James
By Ryan Clark | August 27, 2010 | Comments
One of the hottest names on the wrestling scene right now as she sets her sights on success outside of it, Mickie James stops by to discuss her new CD, her upcoming concert supporting Gretchen Wilson and Montgomery Gentry, and her time in the wrestling business working in bars and clubs all the way through working in front of nearly 100,000 on the showcase of the immortals, WrestleMania. It is a fun interview with a talented performer.
This interview was conducted on Monday, August 23 for air on August 25. This was conducted before the passing of Luna Vachon. As we didn't mention it on the air, I'd like to send out our sincere condolences and to dedicate this interview and broadcast to the memory of Luna Vachon. Her hard work will always be remembered at the Wrestling Epicenter.
To listen to this interview including downloading it for play on any portable device, go to http://www.WrestlingEpicenter.com/. If you like what you hear, check out the store and support us to keep us 100% free!
- Mickie comes onto the show and jumps into a discussion on her new album "Strangers & Angels" and she says the experience has been very positive with good reviews & a great fan response.
- She decided to go into music because its something she's always loved. She played violin in high school and was always interested in it, and she began writing songs while on the road in the WWE. She was never professionally trained to sing, but decided to give it a shot and she's very happy with how its turned out.
- For right now, she's trying to balance both wrestling & music, and will actually be facing Awesome Kong in October. She did make it sound as though music was more the route she was hoping to travel.
- Going into her wrestling career, James mentions being a fan of her work since first seeing her in BBOW back in 2001. She says going from the independents to the WWE was a huge accomplishment in her career. She was also very proud of the storyline with herself and Trish Stratus for Wrestlemania 22. She feels she was brought up to the main roster in an awesome story that helped her in the long run.
- James mentions that on this show's WrestleMania 22 preview years ago, they remarked that the longest running story going into the show was the Mickie/Trish angle and as a result, it was one of the most anticipated. Mickie says there was pressure to deliver, but they both knew their characters well & understood the storyline perfectly, so they made it work.
- In comparing music to wrestling, she says that wrestling is more of a display of strength while performing music shows a more vulnerable side of her, so fans get to see a different side to her personality.
- She talks about her appearance on the television show "Psych" and she had a lot of fun playing the role she played. She says acting isn't really the route she's attempting to travel but she's open to it.
- Mickie felt that the reason WWE didn't want to use her Indy name "Alexis Laree" is because they probably thought it didn't sound like a real name. She had no problems using her real name on WWE television as the name sounds cool. She gives her mother props for the cool name though Mickie and James brieftly joke about the "Hey Mickie" song from the 80's.
- When she started going into music, she says that the WWE supported her every step along the way up until she left the company.

Sorry that theyre not very good pictures, but I don't really have many more.

On Monday, Sal had a follow up with his doctor. He said his numbers look good and he is still in remission. He did ask if we had heard from the transplant coordinator. We told him that they still have not found a donor match for Sal.
The doctor stated that if the cancer comes back within the next two months he would have to give Sal a different course of chemotherapy because it is within a year of his last consolidation. However, if it is after the year, he would be able to do the same regiment that he gave him to put him in remission. The doctor said that no matter what kind of chemo you get, they are all strong. There is no hard and fast answer with cancer. He said that when it comes back Sal will know and it will be within weeks that it will spread. Acute Myeloid Leukemia is a type of Leukemia that is very aggressive, so this is why Sal continues to go each month to get blood work done.
We can not stress enough how important it is to find a match. If you haven't already, please go to the bethematch.org website and order your kit to sign up as a bone marrow donor or join us on Oct 27th at Menifee Roadhouse. The kit is simple, 4 q-tips that you swab the inside of your mouth and a few questions that you have to answer.
As of right now, Sal is doing fine. He is a little on the heavy side, but he is hoping to fix that….I guess that means we can't eat out all of the time
We have some events with Relay for Life coming up and we would love everyone to join our team and help us fight cancer! If you can't join our team, please consider donating to help us reach our team's goal of $15,000! If you have any questions, please let us know!!! All of the money raised for the Relay for Life goes to the American Cancer Society which helps support cancer patients, caregivers, and trying to find a cure for all types of cancer.http://main.acsevents.org/goto/TeamSalMenifee

NotesAge 17 in Shippuuden. |
Rock Lee (a.k.a. Thick Eyebrows, as Naruto likes to call him) is a genin level ninja at the beginning of the series. Just like his row model Gai-sensei, he is a taijutsu specialist. Lee is incapable of using ninjutsu or even genjutsu. But due to Lee's great determination and extreme hard work, he was able to counter this great weakness by specializing in taijutsu.
In Lee's schooldays everyone thought he would never be able to become a ninja, simply because he can't use ninjutsu and genjutsu. But Lee has great determination, and said to himself that he could be a very strong ninja that only uses taijutsu. That's when he met Gai-sensei. Gai is also a ninja that only uses taijutsu. Gai-sensei became Lee's teacher and row model, and he taught Lee everything he knows now.
Lee also has a crush on Sakura. At first Sakura didn't want anything to do with him because he looks weird. But after saving her life and the fight with Gaara, she is starting to see what's so special about him: his unstoppable determination. Lee's training consists of physical training only. He always wears extremely heavy weights around his ankles. Lee only takes them off in 'life and death' situations. When he does this, his speed and strength increase dramatically. But Lee's true power lies in the fact that he can open several chakra Gates. After opening several of his Gates he can temporarily even triple his chakra, which makes him inhumanly fast. The downside of this technique is that it does severe damage to his body, that's why Lee can only do it for a very short time. If he can't finish his opponent before his body receives too much damage, he's done for.
Another one of Lee's talents is the Drunken Fist mode. When he drinks even one drop of alcohol, he will become an unpredictable and unstoppable force and it will cause him to destroy everything or everyone near him, be it a friend or a foe.
Lee became a chuunin during the timeskip to Shippuuden. He has also improved his taijutsu greatly, and is now able to recover from using the Chakra Gates quickly with minimal to no damage to his body whatsoever. Lee still has a fiery passion towards tough missions and training.

Update: "Power 105 1′s "The Breakfast Club" interviews Nicki Minaj. She talks about everything from the criticism of people saying she's pop, how video directors tell her she should take it back to the essence, how she feels about New York not fully embracing her as one of their own, how she deals with criticism from other female rappers and bloggers, her weird relationship with Drake and Lil Wayne, talks about the ring she's wearing on her ring finger and what is her relationship with Scaff Beezy and much, much, more!!" – The Breakfast Club
From our partners, TheUrbanDaily.com -
Nicki Minaj doesn't care about a sophomore album jinx, in fact-she doesn't really believe in it; so the scathing reviews of her second album probably don't faze her. Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is out. It was released at 12am last night to certain stores, including some in New York, which my younger sister (a dedicated Barbie) attended.
Hundreds of young girls lined the streets of Harlem just to buy what some people are calling a "mediocre" disc. None-the-less, Nicki doesn't think she gets much respect from New York. In an upcoming interview with Charlamagne Tha God of "The Breakfast Club," which is actually a track on her album entitled "Press Conference," Nicki expresses how she really feels about New York, being a star and looking like a fool sometimes.
Charlamagne: Let's talk about New York City. I actually get in arguments because people say Nicki doesn't rep New York. I say 'What do you mean, she shouts it out all of the time'?
Nicki Minaj: Y'all don't want me to rep y'all. Ya'll don't hear when I rep ya'll cause ya'll be d–kriding everybody else.
Do you feel you get the proper love from New York?
Hell F-cking no.
I never understood that because you ran the same circuits of all these other rappers. You came up on mixtapes like everyone else…
I was selling my mixtape out of my muthaf-cking BMW out on Jamaica muthaf-ckin' Avenue to Amadue and Hussaine and all them. F-ck you n—as! You n—as don't know the half of what I've been through!!!
What do you say to people that say you're trying to be something that you're not like Lady Gaga or Madonna and you're doing things for shock value?
Well, I don't know. In a minute, if I f*cking sit down and piss, they're going to tell me I can't do that cause another b*tch did it. [Safaree: Stupid azz bitches! People compare her to everybody. Nicki gets it so hard! ]
Charlamagne: I think when they don't understand something they have to compare it to something to make themselves feel comfortable
Absolutely, I always say that. For their minds to interpret it, they have to draw a comparison and I always say, even though it's very common, it's just a more simple-minded approach as opposed to looking at every situation as if it's the first time. It is what it is but even she gets compared to Madonna and it's a never ending cycle but I rather you compare me to someone that is winning and that's won then compare me to… [Charlamagne: someone that is washed].
Nicki Minaj Gallery
It's easy for a loser to be jealous of a winner. Do you ever look back at some of your costumes and your wigs and say, 'I did look like a damn fool'?
[laughs] Yes I do!!
You know what I like about super stars. I like my superstars to be out there. Be like Prince with your azz out. I may see it and say, 'damn she looks like a fool' but you're a superstar. That's how I want to see my superstars. I don't want to see my superstars regular.
I keep saying this: I went to school for theater. I took four years of my life and devoted it to theater. I did that because my passion was acting. When I started rapping, I felt like I couldn't really be myself. When I started winning, I started feeling that I can be myself. I can do my accents, I can do my voices, I can do my faces, I can do costumes. I can now bring me to who, you know, people see as Nicki Minaj. I can now really bring me into it. And I think that's where the confusion lies is that people thought that when I first came out, that that was me in my entirety. But that wasn't. That was a small facet of who I was. But, who you see now is a more multi-faceted mixture of all the different personalities that I have in me. I mean… and I think that if I was to not show that, then I wouldn't be doing justice to all the people who feel like I do. Cause for every person who doesn't understand it is, there is a person who feels like me, who feels like… sometimes I just break out in an English accent, you know, like, what's wrong with that? "
Do you think that pop Nicki and mixtape Nicki can exist in the same space?
They already are and they are both winning.
If it's one thing that I would love for little girls to embrace from Nicki Minaj is the fact that she is versatile. She knows how to kick it in the streets and she knows how to kick it in the corporate setting.
Right, because you can't do too much of either, you really can't. It's unfortunate that at times Hip-Hop culture will tell you to lean only to one side, when that is detrimental to your future. It's detrimental for your growth. It's detrimental to your longevity. At a certain point as a woman; I'm not talking about as a man because we've seen the blueprint with Jay. We've seen that you could come in the game and do 10, 12, 15 – still win and still be the king of Hip-Hop. We have not seen that with a woman so show me the blueprint. That's all I want you to do –Show me the blueprint.
I think you are creating it, because Queen Latifah doesn't exist in that space anymore. She went on to become an actress
[Queen Latifah] is someone who I tip my hat to because Queen Latifah looked at it and said, "Okay, wait, hmm, I mean I wanna be 40 years old rapping. I — the hip-hop fans may not want to hear me when I'm 40 years old rapping. So I'm going to move in a way so that every aspect of who I am can be seen. Queen Latifah does musicals, movies, voice overs for cartoons — is she a sellout or is she winning? So these other b-tches that only did rap and now they're washed, and they're living in, you know, low-income housing — is that winning? Just so that a n—-s in the street can give me a f-cking dap? The same n—-s that didn't buy my album any f-cking way, that downloaded the sh-t? Get the f-ck out of here.
Any regrets?
I think my only regret would be not enjoying every single moment as I should have.
On what she would like to do outside of rap, her bigger purpose.
I have to pray on that. I think that my purpose will eventually be related to some sort of movement for my younger fans really. [...] I really am interested in learning how to build the education system to a point where we have more of a success rate in terms of black children that go from high school to college. I feel like college was not something that was engraved in my brain. I don't feel like that ever happened. Most of my closest girlfriends, it was just like once they got out of high school they figured, "Oh well, we're out of high school' or 'I got my GED, I'm good' and I don't want my fans to think like that. One day, you're going to look back and think 'Wait a minute, did I really lose my life clubbing and miss out on a moment where I could've been building myself as a woman and having something to offer my children.' We got so many girls right now having children and don't even know the first thing to say to a child.
You're having a child because I want to keep this dude or it just happened. I want to get us to the place where it doesn't just happen and that we're smarter than that. We're the ones in control again. Why are we never in control? Why are we stuck with a baby? Why are we always stuck on the welfare line? Why are we always stuck having to beg, borrow and steal to provide for our children? Why do we think it's something wrong for waiting to have a baby? Waiting until you're 35 or 36 to have children; technology has changed – you can wait. Have something to offer them. That's something that's dear to my heart. Doing something that make children feel like I don't have to rush to grow up. I can enjoy my childhood.
How did you escape being more than just an a$$?
We said that the other day, before I was just a rapping butt. [Safaree: A butt with lyrics]
How did you get out of that?
Because I created a brand. People take for granted how hard it is so shout out to every woman and man that's won. It's very hard, mentally, this sh-t is draining. For you to be able to get up there and do music that people love, and do interviews with a smile on your face and act like this sh-t ain't getting to you, it's draining. It's crazy. That's why so many artists go on drugs or become alcoholics. When I was coming up, I never understood it. I use to be like, 'What? They are so ungrateful, why are they on drugs, why don't they f-cking appreciate their success, I would kill to be where they are', until you get here and you are like, 'Lord is this the price I have to pay if I really want this'. He's like, 'yup, now let's see who really want it'.
I think I became more than that, because people can not deny… **long pause** [Charlamagne: you the sh-t. Say it! You don't have to be humble. Be like Ray J. 'I'm tired of being humble']
I'm not a cocky person by nature.

02 December 2008 16:11 [Source: ICIS news]
NEW DELHI (ICIS news)--India's inorganic chemicals and synthetic yarns producer NRC Limited has suspended the operations of all plants at its production complex in Mohone, in the Thane district of Maharashtra state, due to "labour unrest", the company said on Tuesday.
The company has resorted to periodic production cutbacks or shutdowns at the complex due to technical problems, competition from imports and acute shortages of working capital over the last year.
NRC's chemicals division has a capacity of 52,000 tonnes/year of caustic soda, 43,700 tonnes/year of chlorine, 58,000 tonnes/year of sulphuric acid and 26,400 tonnes/year of hydrochloric acid.
It also produces hydrogen, carbon di-sulphide, sodium sulphite and sodium sulphate.
The company also has plants at the site that produce 16,000 tonnes/year of viscose filament yarn and 12,000 tonnes/year of nylon tyre chord.
NRC incurred a net loss of rupees (Rs) 1.82bn ($36.14m) on net sales of Rs3.2bn in the 15-month accounting year that ended 30 June 2008.
($1 = Rs50.35)

At times like this, I like to remember the wisdom of UN nuclear specialist and IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei: Israel is a bigger threat than North Korea. But just in case he's wrong, how about we get Obama to give a speech to the "Asian World." Preferably soon:
North Korea said Tuesday it would use nuclear weapons in a "merciless offensive" if provoked — its latest bellicose rhetoric apparently aimed at deterring any international punishment for its recent atomic test blast. Pyongyang raised tensions a notch by reviving its rhetoric in a commentary in the state-run Minju Joson newspaper Tuesday. "Our nuclear deterrent will be a strong defensive means … as well as a merciless offensive means to deal a just retaliatory strike to those who touch the country's dignity and sovereignty even a bit," said the commentary, carried by the official Korean Central News Agency.
Remember how before the April launch Gates announced – in advance – that we had no military options against a North Korean missile launch? And how Clinton signaled – in advance – that we wouldn't really be able to do anything diplomatically either? And how Obama proved them right when he banned our cutting-edge radar system from monitoring the launch and failed to get the UN to respond adequately, having personally fumbled the question during a press conference?
You don't think that emboldened these sociopaths, eventually encouraging them to conduct the May nuclear test that caught us flatfooted, do you?
Oh well. At least Iran isn't tracking Obama's weakness in response to North Korean provocations. That would really degrade our negotiating position.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 10/08/12 -- Today eHealthInsurance (NASDAQ: EHTH), America's first and largest private health insurance exchange, released a checklist designed to help people with employer-sponsored health insurance choose the right plan for their personal needs and budget during this year's open enrollment season.
Open enrollment is the period when workers receiving health insurance and other benefits from their employers are asked to make personal coverage selections for the coming year. For many employers and employees, open enrollment for the 2013 calendar-year will occur between October and December 2012.
"Choosing the right health insurance plan isn't easy, even for those offered coverage through an employer" said Gary Matalucci, eHealthInsurance Vice President of Customer Care. "As the cost of employer-sponsored plans increases, some consumers may wonder how to stretch their dollars. At eHealthInsurnace, we encourage consumers to carefully review all their coverage options to find the best match for their needs. We've prepared this year's checklist to help during the decision process."
A printable PDF version of the checklist can be downloaded here or from eHealthInsurance's Media Center.
eHealthInsurance Open Enrollment Checklist
Premium Increases -- First, check to see if your share of the monthly premium for employer-based health insurance is increasing. That's the amount of money taken directly from your wages. If you can't afford the premium for your current plan, consider less expensive coverage options from your employer or an individually-purchased plan.
Deductibles, Copays and Out-of-pocket Costs -- Since your real health care costs are about more than just monthly premiums, check to see if the prescription drug or office visit copayments have changed for your health insurance plan. Look at the annual deductible too, and your annual out-of-pocket maximum. Some employers keep rising premiums in check by increasing your liability in other cost-sharing categories.
Changes to Your Benefits -- Will you still receive the same level of coverage as last year for prescription drugs, hospital or lab services, and other benefits? Employers often re-negotiate terms during open enrollment which may result in changed benefits. If you're sticking with the same plan, find out if your coverage levels have changed.
Discontinued Health Plans -- If your 2012 health insurance plan is being discontinued in 2013, find out if your company offers any other coverage options - especially if you or a dependent have a pre-existing medical condition.

The equity that Charlie Manuel built with the fans was clear on the day he was dismissed as manager of the Phillies. Most fans surveyed in Citizens Bank Park's Ashburn Alley before Friday's game thought Manuel should have kept his job, at least until the end of the season.

How anyone can put full blame on a manager for having a losing season, and give a pass to the real culprit the GM is mind boggling.
I notice Sandberg didn't sprinkle 'fairy dust' on the players, and put a W in the column. It's only his second game as a manager but he's been here since he came up from Allentown. He should have seen the problems without his fans saying he only has 40 odd games to correct them. He's been here for a couple of seasons now.
If I remember correctly, he managed Dom Brown. Why didn't he as a manager teach Brown how to field, and how not to get picked off first base ? He had Brown in the minors long enough to teach him something. phineas

Product Description

Installation Instructions
Product Reviews
- Overall Rating: 3 / 5
- 1 Reviews
These were an easy install, but be aware that these do not seem to be hardened bolts. I believe these bolts are just used to hold the lower control arm in place. Do not try to adjust the arms by just turning the bolt. The opposite side of the bolt will strip and the offset washers will not line up. Use a bar to pull or pry and once the lower control arms are in place, align the washer/bolt and tighten.

The Fathead Sunburst Anthias also known as Fathead Anthias, is a colorful fish, predominantly pink, with heavy yellow-to-orange scale margins and facial markings. Pectoral and anal fins are fringed in blue.
The Fathead Sunburst Anthias prefers to live at the bottom of the tank, so the deeper the better, but still maintain plenty of surface area for proper water oxygenation. An environment of low-to-moderate light with lots of hiding places is ideal. It is best housed with peaceful tankmates such as gobies. If keeping more than one, it is ideal to introduce all anthias at the same time. Anthias species all share the trait of being hermaphroditic. If a dominant male perishes, the largest female of the group will often morph to take its place. The diet in the wild primarily consists of zooplankton and floating filamentous algae. In the aquarium, it should be fed mysis shrimp, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, frozen preparations and other meaty items for zooplankton feeders. The Fathead Sunburst Anthias should be fed 2-4 times daily. Approximate Purchase Size: Small: 1-1/4" to 2"; Medium: 2" to 3"; Large: 3" to 4" |

Shakespeare: odd-job man for the Tudors?_
The Elizabethan era named by the Tudor Queen Elisabeth (1558-1603) is known as one of the most attractive epochs in English history. This time combined the exotic way of figures, costumes, habits and a refreshing sensuality connected with both the individual and the collective view of community. That epoch did not only exist as historical reality but moreover as a myth- containing first of all the imagination of the Tudor dynasty. "Merry Old England"- Harmony and peace below a Queen, a land full of life-spirit, , celebrating and playing: England as such.
The real Tudor age started with Henry Tudor, a Lancastrian , who defeated King Richard III in the battle of Bosworth. As a consequence the Wars of the Roses came to an end..
Historically the mystery about the Tudor myth firstly was "founded" by chronicle writers. This aspect expresses the sight of many different critics, e.g.: Thomas More, Holinshed or Vergil. They all described King Richard as a brutally, cruel person full of villainy. The very famous playwright William Shakespeare was also fascinated by this persons wicked character, so that he wrote a brilliant play about him and his social surrounding. However, such considerations only modify a dramatic traditions from which emerges Shakespeares paradoxical villain-his Richard III is at ones evil and comical, hypocritical and candid, demonic and human . In brief , Shakespeares Richard is a complex literary character, not intended to represent the actual King Richard III. He himself, as king of England and the myth surrounding him had already become separated in the minds of Shakespeares contemporaries. His drama releases the spectators after Richmond's final speech into the mystery of this new beginning era. The author put a special emphasis on this theme he even endowed the audience with a vitality which seemed to be quiet astonishing. One will never be able to solve the "problem" whether Shakespeare really wanted to justify the Tudor dynasty. As a fact in the medieval age aristocrats usually hired playwrights for their private amusement therefore a critic of Shakespeare's drama could have claimed that he in a way was forced to try to justify this predominant myth. His intention and his decision was at least a result of social and financial acceptance in England. Consequently, the Queen's favor or the support of the Tudors might have been reasons for Shakespeare's choice. There is no doubt that Elizabethan history plays, including Shakespeare Richard III , were never intended as strictly historical documents. Most importantly, it was made clear that Shakespeares so-called history-plays undoubtedly represent a genre of dramatic literature. A drama leaves a more intensive effect for the posterity than facts which base on historical reality. Shakespeare was a creative dramatist but never an historian but the question of historical accuracy in Richard III persists. Some even had the Ricardian love-hate attitude towards the play "as very good Shakespeare, but very bad history."

Lovecraft Unbound
, by Datlow, Ellen- ISBN: 9781595821461 | 1595821465
- Cover: Paperback
- Copyright: 10/14/2009
Sorry, this item is currently not available.
The stories are legendary, the characters unforgettable, the world horrible and disturbing. Howard Phillips Lovecraft may have been a writer for only a short time, but the creations he left behind after his death in 1937 have shaped modern horror more than any other author in the last two centuries: the shambling god Cthulhu, and the other deities of the Elder Things, the Outer Gods, and the Great Old Ones, and Herbert West, Reanimator, a doctor who unlocked the secrets of life and death at a terrible cost. In Lovecraft Unbound, more than twenty of today's most prominent writers of literature and dark fantasy tell stories set in or inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

Hi everyone,
I just produced a list of patients (var = name, dob, current age, health plan, health plan id, and screening test), stratified by their Doctor.
There was a request by a couple of Docs to produce another list (alsmot identical) with the patients name and DOB, with some catagories for the Doc's office staff to use in filling out info on these patients.
I dropped in the new (empty) variables, and printed the new report, however, there was a feeling that each of these new fields should have row and column lines, to make this easier for the staff to use. Can I do this in proc print?
Should I be doing this in somthing else?
There is about 140 docs with an average of 50 or so patients each, so I am reluctant to export the data into excel or access (also I would loose the look and feel of SAS - - which I want to keep)

What an absolutely pathetic display! 100 people my a--. There were maybe 30-40 ACTUAL attendees with the rest being party of the "show" as I counted everyone there yesterday. Not only that, the event was supposed to go until 2pm but they had to cut it off early (115) because of the pathetic attendance. Keep in mind this event was sponsored by every republican club/group in Collier including the supposedly non-partisan Naples Tea Party (but we know they are just republican shills).
No wonder why the Republican Party is DYING. Fiscal conservatives continue to leave the party in droves, the social conservatives are a dying breed, and anyone who truly believes in limited, constitutional government left a long time ago.
When you have to trot up establishment hacks that voted against saving babies born alive during a botched abortion like Kathleen Passidomo and have a joke of a presidential candidate who is tanking in the pills to the worst president in our lifetimes you KNOW the party is dead.
you are being too hard on Passidomo, that was her example of "working with the other side!"
the only example, other than that she was straight Tea Party kool-aid on every vote.
dump her for the sake of the children..

Significant and unique literature for the organ. Each piece is unlike the previous, using creative melodic motives, contrapuntal flourishes, and harmonic progressions, always weaving into each texture the prominent hymn tune. Filled with surprising organ registrations and even the replication of a drum pattern pitched for the pedals.

Top 10 Classic Arcade Games
These are the top 10 classic arcade games and why they made such an impact on our lives. In the 80s, it wasn't uncommon for entire childhoods to be spent in an arcade, feeding quarters into your favorite machine to try to get your initials on that final screen. As Steve L. Kent writes, "arcade games defined a generation and helped to create a multi-billion dollar industry."
- Pong. Who knew that two lines on a screen and a circle that bounced between them would become the precursor to the complicated sports games of today? Atari's simple tennis game allowed players to challenge one another or play against the computer and led to the start of the entire video game industry.
- Pac-Man. Before Namco's ghosts in a maze, the only video games that existed were shooters and sports games. Pac-Man is one of the top classic arcade games because it created an entirely new genre and also started a mass media craze in the United States which led to television shows, board games, a film and many licensed consumer products, from lunch boxes to T-shirts.
- Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong is one of the top classic arcade games not just for Nintendo's breakthroughs in the platform genre, the excitement of dodging barrels and fire or the combination of skill and luck it took to conquer the game, but also because it introduced a certain Italian plumber to the world.
- Frogger. A simple word for avoiding cars and other hazards has joined the common lexicon because of Konami's Frogger. Popular culture frequently references "playing frogger" for any task that involves dexterity and timing, including in some modern video game challenges.
- Q*bert. A likable main character, addictive gameplay and innovative graphics (which included a 3-D effect for the pyramid) made Q*Bert one of the most popular classic arcade games. It was highly merchandised and its legacy has endured, even earning references in modern popular culture.
- Space Invaders. As one of the earliest shooting games, Space Invaders (and the pixelated enemies referenced in the title) has become synonymous with classic arcade games in general. Its huge popularity is said to have caused a shortage of 100-yen coins in Japan. The "Guinness World Records" ranks it the top arcade game.
- Centipede. Atari's Centipede was the first arcade game partially created by a woman and is known for drawing the first largely female audience to video gaming according to Steve Kent, author of "The Ultimate History of Video Games: From Pong to Pokemon and Beyond"
- Contra. Side-scrolling shooters became hugely popular after the advent of Contra and remains a defining genre in the modern arcade industry (although the action usually moves forward in modern versions of the game instead of to the side). The variety of weapons and futuristic threats made Konami's Contra especially memorable.
- Street Fighter 2. Characters with individual, specialized moves was pioneered by Capcom's Street Fighter series, specifically, Street Fighter 2. Multiple special attacks for each character as well as the introduction of grappling makes Street Fighter 2 one of the top classic arcade games.
- Asteroids. The biggest selling game of an error involved a spaceship traveling through an asteroid field and avoiding other flying saucers. The game was so popular that arcade owners at the time sometimes built additional boxes to hold all the coins used to play the game.

Memories leap over the years for Henry J. Bruman, professor emeritus at UCLA. So do idealism and the desire to give back what was bequeathed to him more than half a century ago by another music-minded spirit.
"It was 1936," says the former head of the geography department, "and I was a graduate student at Berkeley when the Budapest String Quartet came to campus. Going to those concerts changed my life. I had never heard all the Beethoven quartets before. Suddenly, a whole universe opened to me."

A local high school will have its homecoming dance after all.
WPBF 25 News reported Thursday that Lincoln Park Academy in Fort Pierce was going to cancel the event. Students bombarded the station's Facebook page this week, saying financial issues were to blame.
School officials responded Thursday by saying the cancellation was due to students' dressing and dancing suggestively, as well as the DJ playing inappropriately in years past.
But a school spokeswoman said Friday that enough volunteers have come forward with offers to help since WPBF aired the story that the school will now re-schedule the event.

Looking at the media through rose-colored glassesRather Says He Doesn't See Any Liberal Media BiasBy Don Irvine Saturday, May 26, 2012Former CBS Evening News anchor Dan Rather stopped by The View earlier this week and told Joy Behar that he doesn't think the media have a liberal bias. Rather, who has been hitting the talk show circuit this month to promote the release of his new book Outspoken, spent several minutes discussing his failed lawsuit against CBS and what he called the corporatizing of the news, banks and insurance companies, much to the detriment of our country. Then it was Behar's turn to quiz Rather. Once again, Rather is looking at the media through rose-colored glasses if he can't even see the liberal media bias that existed during his career at CBS, which he helped contribute to with his reporting. One of the most egregious examples was the Bush National Guard story that Rather continues to defend even to this day, but which was shown to be highly inaccurate and little more than an attempt by Rather and the network execs to derail Bush's re-election in 2004. Behar then asked Rather if he was a liberal and he said he wasn't, that he is fiercely independent and has voted for presidents of both parties. He's independent all right. That's why he told Larry King in 1998 that Hillary Clinton, who he said he wouldn't be surprised to see as the Democratic nominee in 2000, was the "Person of the Year." And what Republican president could he have possibly voted for? Eisenhower? Nice try Dan, but you will always be Rather biased to me. |

Glycopyrrolate Tablets Side Effects

Glycopyrrolate Tablets Side Effects - for the Professional
Glycopyrrolate Tablets
Applies to: oral tablet
Anticholinergics produce certain effects, most of which are extensions of their fundamental pharmacological actions. Adverse reactions to anticholinergics in general may include xerostomia; decreased sweating; urinary hesitancy and retention; blurred vision; tachycardia; palpitations; dilation of the pupil; cycloplegia; increased ocular tension; loss of taste; headaches; nervousness; mental confusion; drowsiness; weakness; dizziness; insomnia; nausea; vomiting; constipation; bloated feeling; impotence; suppression of lactation; severe allergic reaction or drug idiosyncrasies including anaphylaxis, urticaria and other dermal manifestations.
Glycopyrrolate Tablets, USP is chemically a quaternary ammonium compound; hence, its passage across lipid membranes, such as the blood-brain barrier, is limited in contrast to atropine sulfate and scopolamine hydrobromide. For this reason the occurrence of CNS related side effects is lower, in comparison to their incidence following administration of anticholinergics which are chemically tertiary amines that can cross this barrier readily.
