Balanced Man Program
It's no secret that SigEp is here to make men better men – Balanced Men. So what exactly do we mean? We believe that shared experiences and continual growth of our minds and bodies helps us live a full life.
The Balanced Man Program will guide you through the changing needs you will have in college as you grow and mature as a leader. Each Challenge is self-paced and self-determined and emphasizes three specific areas in your life: Self, Chapter, Community. These areas are all important in developing your leadership and interpersonal skills.
SigEp is there to help you along the way and provide opportunities and new experiences on your quest as a Balanced Man. As you develop as an individual within your SigEp chapter, you are helping to build a stronger chapter with diverse experiences. You are encouraging others to get out there and try new things – to stretch their minds and bodies to new heights.
Ultimately, the goal of The Balanced Man Program is to help you develop the skills, gain the experience, and meet the people that will help push you one step ahead - things you'll be able to use for the rest of your life.
The Balanced Man Program will help you learn more about yourself, about your Fraternity, and about your campus and community. You will also learn innovative ways to impact each of these areas within your life to fully develop your potential. Through a re-dedication to the ideals of brotherhood and personal responsibility, The Balanced Man Program is one of the best ways for you to make the most of your time in college and beyond.
How will you live up to the expectations set before you? How will you become a Balanced Man?
In 1991 Sigma Phi Epsilon developed a four year, continuous development 'Balanced Man' program, which abolished pledging altogether, instituted year-round recruitment, encourages lifestyles based on the three cardinal principles, and includes a number of tasks geared towards creating diverse experiences that promote the ideals of "a sound mind and a sound body". Colorado Gamma implemented this innovative member development program in 2000.
SigEp headquarters credits the Balanced Man Program as the driving force behind the continued growth and success of the fraternity. Some of these accomplishments include SigEp's 90% undergraduate retention rate, a major improvement in the national average SigEp GPA (3.04, Fall 2007), and SigEp's status as the nation's largest fraternity by undergraduate membership.
The Balanced Man Program consists of four challenges labeled Sigma, Phi, Epsilon, and Brother Mentor. Each challenge contains required tasks that progressively develop a member's self, chapter, and community.
A new SigEp brother is welcomed with the introductory phase of the program, the Sigma Challenge, and must complete a program based on self-discovery, chapter activities, and community service. After completing the Sigma Challenge he enters the Phi Challenge.
This challenge is centered on building balance. Here, more advanced tasks await him that include becoming a member of other on-campus organizations and taking a leadership role in the chapter.
The third challenge in the Balanced Man Program is the Epsilon Challenge, centered on being an effective campus and community leader; at this level the brother has a full understanding of the Fraternity, the brother is also expected to hold an executive or chairman position in both the Chapter, and at least one outside organization.
Brother Mentor
This is an additional level introduced with the Balanced Man program. Brother Mentor signifies a brother's commitment to his chapter by completing all three levels of the Balanced Man and by going beyond and completing the challenges set forth by the Brother Mentor program. These include a very large community service requirement and tasks that better the chapter as a whole.
All challenges in the Balanced Man program are self-paced.
Balanced Man Program Questions
Sigma Phi Epsilon supports a national member development program called the Balanced Man Program (BMP). This program was designed in the late eighties by the leaders of SigEp in order to eliminate the many problems that had developed out of the traditional pledge system. Although SigEp has not forced the BMP on individual chapters, many chapters have adopted the program because of its progressive and positive thinking. Today over 80% of all SigEp chapters are Balanced Man chapters. The following is a list of common questions concerning the Balanced Man Project.
What is the main difference between the BMP and a pledge system?
First of all, lets clear some things up. A pledge system does not always equal a hazing fraternity, however it does promote hazing activities for a number of reasons. First, a pledge chapter is a two-tier system where there are two groups, pledges and brothers. This is not true with a BMP chapter where there are multiple levels of development, and The only separation is the member's knowledge of the ritual and their progress on their individual journey of brotherhood. A person becomes a brother when they accept the invitation of membership, not after a certain time period and a one time initiation process. A new member in a BMP chapter has all the rights and privileges that any other member in the chapter has.
Does such a strong emphasis on the individual journey of each member take away from the unity of the entire group?
This is a common misunderstanding and an argument commonly heard among pledging fraternities. They believe that pledging develops pledge class unity. Although this maybe true, the idea of pledge class unity can only take away from the brotherhood of the entire chapter. The BMP fosters unity among all his brothers, not just among individual pledge classes.
How does this journey of brotherhood differ from a pledge type initiation?
The BMP is based on a lifetime journey of brotherhood that continues even after graduation. There are five stages of brotherhood; the last of which can only be achieved after graduation. Thus, the SigEp man continually has a goal to strive for; a new level of excellence to reach. In a pledge system, new members are put through a pledge program where they are taught all the knowledge necessary to be put through initiation. This leaves the member of a pledge system with nothing more to achieve and the development of the man sometimes comes to a halt.
If there are no pledge activities, how does the chapter determine when a member is ready to go through the next rite of passage?
Unlike the pledge system, there are no mandatory house cleanings, scavenger hunts, or hell weeks. The BMP has set goals for each rite of passage that must be achieved before continuing to the next challenge. These include milestones such as community service, GPA requirements, campus and chapter activities, progress in sound mind/sound body discipline, and even achieving the personal goals that each member sets with his mentor. Passage into the next challenge is determined solely by the achievement of these goals and not by the vote of the "active" chapter.
Isn't the Balanced Man Program just a modified pledge system?
Absolutely not! New members receive all the rights and privileges of any other member. Furthermore, new members do not have to wait to become involved in the operation of the fraternity. Every new man is quickly given some sort of responsibility, and is free to move up the ranks of leadership. Pledge type activities such as house cleaning, yard work, etc. fall on the entire chapter, not just the new members.
Every brother in the BMP chapter has the responsibility to look out after each brother and promote brotherly love among the chapter. The BMP not only helps out new brothers but continues to encourage older brothers and alumni.
In the words of our Founding Fathers ...
"The purpose. . . . shall be to create and encourage the perpetuation and friendship among men; to develop, strengthen and maintain a high moral character among its members; to inculcate those high moral principles which are essential in the proper discharge of the duties which naturally devolve upon an individual as a member of society; to promote the formation of such friendships as will result in the highest degree of happiness of its members; to induce and encourage work along scholastic, athletic and social lines, and to create and foster such sentiments and encourage the performance of such deeds conducive to the upbuilding of a pure and noble manhood; to impress upon its members the true significance of fraternal relationship; and to aid and sustain as far as possible the government and the discipline of the institution at which its chapters are located."
- Sigma Phi Epsilon Founding Fathers, October 20, 1902

Big Four: Time to improve UK audit quality
Accountancy News
The 2008-09 financial crisis and ongoing downturn has highlighted a number of areas for improvement in the City, not least where audit is concerned. With poor quality audit seen by many as a contributory factor to high profile collapses such as that suffered by Lehman Brothers, the spotlight remains very much on the industry. The ensuing investigation of auditor Ernst & Young should have encouraged service providers to refocus on their best practice goals, but whether or not firms are doing enough to meet their responsibilities remains a topic for debate.
Latest findings from the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) certainly do not show the audit industry in an altogether positive light. After inspecting the Big Four service providers, the regulator has raised fresh concerns over the quality of some UK auditing. Based upon a study sample, one in ten inspections carried out by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, KPMG and Ernst & Young fell into the lowest category based upon quality. With "significant concerns" raised about ten per cent of audits completed by the major firms, it is questionable whether the industry is doing enough to repair its tarnished reputation.
Auditors can be put in a difficult position given the commercial demands on their business, but above all else they need to ensure that the books are correct and business decisions are being based on accurate financial information. They may be eager to keep clients on-side to safeguard future business, but this cannot be allowed to influence and impede the quality of audit. In order to safeguard the interests of shareholders and creditors, and protect the reputation of the industry, it is vital that any concerns are acted upon and poor practice is not overlooked.
In its inspection of PwC, the FRC found instances where the firm's auditors were not sufficiently sceptical about the information provided to them by the client. And in the check on KPMG, three of the 14 audits looked at were deemed to be of a low quality. Deloitte also found itself in hot water, with the council raising concerns about excessive cost cutting and a lack of diligence in checking facts. Lastly, Ernst & Young saw two of its 11 studied audits classified in the bottom category. Notwithstanding the fact that most of the firms' checks were of a suitable standard, the FRC report is not something the Big Four will be able to brush under the carpet.
"We need to see auditors doing work diligently and challenging management," said Paul George, FRC's director of auditing. "The actions firms take on scepticism have to start flowing through to day-to-day practice." He commented that efficiencies cannot be made at the expense of quality, however difficult the markets are at the current moment in time. For the sake of their own reputations and future income, the auditors are better off settling for lower profits and ensuring their job is completed to the required standard.
"As we have moved from a largely historic cost accounting framework to one which has a significant fair value component, the level of precision in the average set of financial statements has reduced," Mr George stated. The numbers may be more relevant but they "become more difficult to audit and to conclude whether they are right or wrong. Therefore there is an increased need for auditor scepticism." He claimed that the auditor reporting model has not kept pace with change in the financial reporting model, and this is an issue that needs to be addressed urgently.
However, Mr George was eager to stress that some good work has been done by the Big Four, and progress is being made towards higher standards. But in the current climate, and based upon the events of the last few years, it is inevitably the failings of the Big Four that claim the headlines, rather than their achievements. This is likely to be the case until the industry manages to restore public faith and business confidence, something that could take some time.

And the City That Has the Most Sex Is ...
If you watched Sex and the City, you would have probably guessed, like I did, that New Yorkers have the most sex of any residents in any city. Well, you and I were mislead. A small survey of 1,000 adults uncovered that when it comes to cities with the residents who do it the most, Los Angeles is numero uno. What the eff? Eff that!
To me, Los Angeles is the least sexy city ever. All the fake body parts and ulterior motives and sleazy agendas turn this east coaster off. But apparently those Lala landers love themselves some of themselves, because they can't help but get busy 135 times a year. The national average is 120. Gross! Stop doing it, LA!
I don't want to think about all those plastics going at it. All I can visualize is stacking my Barbie on top of Ken and I get freaked out. But good for LA. All that exercising and surgery have really paid off in the sex department. But is the sex any good?
Nope! LA ranked highest in the number of people who admitted to faking orgasms (actors man, they're always showing off), so it would seem that the sexy people in LA only care about themselves and aren't really into pleasing one another.
It's the Philadelphians who have the best sex, according to the survey. Maybe all the grittiness and little brother complex (to NY) make people of the City of Brotherly Love great in the sack. Maybe Philly residents are eager to be liked, eager to please -- that combined with the dogged energy of the city and you're looking at some excellent sexy time. The city with the second best sexers? NYC.
I guess LA is more quantity over quality. But that's really no surprise ... how many Stars Wars movies have there been? How many damn The Fast & The Furious iterations have there been? Enough said.
Were you surprised that LA residents have the most sex?

this poster is a complete moron. Los Angeles is not full of "plastics".To think of Los Angeles and it's people being fake, makes you look like a judgemental idiot. Have you ever been to los angeles and the areas that aren't swarmed with tourists? The REAL Los Angeles is great. Which is why so many people love to come here. As an L.A Native, I'm actually proud to see that we're not all a bunch of boring prudes. And if the sex wasn't any good, we wouldn't be having it often. We're not all full of ourselves. Your post (opinion) is f*cking moronic. Think before deciding to say something stupid about a city you know nothing about.
- That's right, Mama Skywalker! Born & raised in Los Angeles here and far from fake! Get over yourself, west coast hater!

The Toktumi / Line2 Team has recently sent out an important email to users, urging them not to update to Apple's upcoming iOS 4.2 software update. If you do, when you receive a call, "the ringer will continue to ring even after an incoming call is answered." Here's the email:
Attention all Line2 iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad users:
Please do not upgrade to iOS version 4.2.
If you upgrade to iOS 4.2 and you are running Line2 in the background, the ringer will continue to ring even after an incoming call is answered. This affects Line2 as well as all other VoIP and social calling apps. (Note: If you do not use Line2 your Toktumi service will not be effected.)
Apple Developer Support is aware of this issue and has designated its status as 'severe'. However, as of the most recent iOS beta (GMSeed build), this issue is still not resolved. We apologize for this inconvenience and will update you as soon as we get more information from Apple.
Line2 will continue to work as normal with your current operating system. We strongly encourage you not to install iOS 4.2 until Apple fixes the upgrade issue. We will send out an email update as soon as it is safe to upgrade.
Line2 is an interesting service which allows users to run two numbers on one iPhone handset. Additionally, it allows non-US residents to create their own US number, to activate Google Voice for example.
However, if you are using Line2, be sure not to upgrade to iOS 4.2 until it is safe to do so. We'll keep you updated on the situation, so check back for updates. Alternatively, you can check out Line2′s site here.

Do you like paranormals? Vampire hunters? Macabre humor? Then pick up Power in the Blood, by Angelia Sparrow.
This is the first novel I've edited for Storm Moon Press, and it's the most outright fun I've had with an edit in quite a while. Full of quirky characters, from the insatiable Oren Stolt and the six kids who've grown up in his shadow to assorted lunatic immortals, nothing about Power in the Blood is bland, stock, or repetitive. It's composed of equal parts horrifying ideas and inappropriate giggles.
It won't be for everyone–the violence level goes past "high" all the way to "gruesome" and two pagan readers have suggested that it really ought to carry a blasphemy warning for the Christian portion of the audience. But if you think you can handle that, it's a hoot. The eBook is priced under $6, and the dead tree version should be available within the next month or so.
Here's the official blurb:
Oren Stolt understands the natural order better than most people. Vampires prey on humans and Undying keep the vampires' numbers in check.
Until now.
Now, across the United States, vampire numbers are exploding, thanks to a new church. The Tabernacle of the Firstfruits preaches a Risen Lord and invites believers to follow Him in death and resurrection… quite literally.
In Memphis, the church is about to host its first conference, with an eye to converting the whole world to the vampiric gospel.
And all that stands between humanity and eternal night is Oren, his kids, and a thin line of insane immortals.
Power in the Blood, by Angelia Sparrow, now available from Storm Moon Press

Original Message
As Adolf Hitler and his Nazi
party ascended to power in the 1930's
various groups such as the O.T.O.
and the Freemasons were banned and
some of their members arrested.
Otti Votavova said that Hitler belonged
to the legendary "FOCG" or "99 Lodge"
of black magick, described in
Frabato The Magician and Fire And
Ice (see the bibliography). Apart from
this, Hitler and some of his
intimate friends were supposed to be
members of the "Thule Order,"
which was the external instrument of a
group of powerful Tibetan black magician
Haushofer and the Vril
This secret community was founded, literally,
on Bulwer Lytton's novel The Coming Race. The book describes a
race of men psychically far in advance of ours.
They have acquired powers over themselves
and over things that make them almost godlike.
For the moment they are in hiding.
They live in caves in the centre of the Earth.
Soon they will emerge to reign over us.
This appears to be as much as Dr. Ley could tell us. He added with a smile that the disciples believed they had secret knowledge that would enable them to change their race and become the equals of the men hidden in the bowels of the Earth. Methods of concentration, a whole system of internal gymnastics by which they would be transformed. They began their exercises by staring fixedly at an apple cut in half…. We continued our researches.
This Berlin group called itself The Luminous Lodge, or The Vril Society. The vril [the notion of the 'vril' is mentioned for the first time in the works of the French writer Jacolliot, French Consul in Calcutta under the Second Empire. Is the enormous energy of which we only use a minute proportion in our daily life, the nerve-centre of our potential divinity. Whoever becomes master of the vril will be the master of himself, of others round him and of the world. [Reich's "orgone"...? -B:.B:.]
This should be the only object of our desires, and all our efforts should be directed to that end. All the rest belongs to official psychology, morality, and religions and is worthless.
The world will change: the Lords will emerge from the centre of the Earth. Unless we have made an alliance with them and become Lords ourselves, we shall find ourselves among the slaves, on the dung-heap that will nourish the roots of the New Cities that will arise. [shades of Crowley's Liber AL? -B:.B:.]
The Luminous Lodge [Silver Star, Argon Astron, L.V.X. and latter-day "Lightworkers" woven together in this Luciferian tapestry? -B:.B:.] had associations with the theosophical and Rosicrucian groups. According to Jack Fishman, author of a curious book entitled The Seven Men of Spandau, Karl Haushofer was a member of this lodge. We shall have more to say about him later, when it will be seen that his association with this Vril Society helps to explain certain things.
The Vril Society
from LetUsReason Website
The Vril Society was one of he most influential of the occultic groups in post-WWI Germany, many of Germany's social elite were members. Like the Thule Society, the Vril Society was at the base of the Nazi gnosis for the early leaders of the movement. The Vril Society was also known as the Lodge of Light, and as the Luminous Lodge. It is difficult to obtain reliable information most secret initiations in the Vril Society. As it is with most secret lodges like the Masons one must leave to divulge any information.
This society finds its beginnings in France and associated with French writer Louis Jacolliot (1837-1890). Who drew on the esoteric materials from occultic sources such as the Swedenborgians. Also associated with the Vril Society was the 16th-century teachings of mystic Jacob Boehme (a cofounder of modem Rosicrucianism) and Claude de St. Martin, a leader from French Illuminism during the early 19th-century. There seems to be a thread of parallelism of these and others related to the illuminati in the 18th cent from Bavaria (Adam Weishapt) (Ravenscroft)
The Vril movement is said to still exist throughout the orient where, it is claimed by Angebert, (The Occult and the Third Reich by Jean-Michel Angebert) there can be as many as two million converts, mostly in India. The current Vrilists are sun worshippers. Vril temples in India are said to be decorated with swastikas.
One of the primary qualifications for admission to the Vril Society was minimum competence in Blavatsky's The Secret Doctrine. Karl Haushofer was alleged to be a master of the secret doctrines exposed by Blavatsky, and it was he who initiated prisoner Adolf Hitler at Landsberg Prison. Haushofer eventually became one of the earliest members of the fledgling German Workers Party (DAP), which is the group that changed its name to the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP or "Nazi") when Hitler became its leader.
The Mother of The Nazi Party
from Whale Website
The Vril Society was the mother of the Nazi party. "Vril" means the Light Force. What Light force? Lucifer the light bearer's light force. The true nature of Nazism is being concealed. When Hitler came to plan, he was placed into power in accordance with the Illuminati plan which was spelled out in writing. This plan said,
"Nowadays if any state raise a protest against us it is only pro forma (provided in advance) at our discretion and by our direction, for their anti-semitism is indispensable to us for the management of our lesser brethren."
Illuminati international bankers brought Hitler to power, and Illuminati kingpins like Rockefeller, Onassis and the King of Sweden traded with the Nazis. Spain stayed neutral during the war to serve as a conduit of supplies to keep Hitler's war going. Hitler was a participant in rituals where human sacrifices were carried out. He himself killed a number of men by pulling their hearts out of their bodies while they were alive. One Monarch slave remembers his father, who was powerful in the Illuminati, describing how Hitler killed a man in front of him by pulling his heart out. Some of Hitler's key advisors and key men were in the Illuminati.
There are also lots of tie ins with the OTO, the Vril Society, the Thule Society, the Society of Green Men. The head of the Tibetan Monks that Hitler imported to help him lead Germany was known as The Man with the Green Glove. The monks were posted in Berlin, Munich, and Nuremberg.

I first decided to attend the British American Drama Academy at Oxford as an excuse to inspect a country that had inscrutably made its way in to my psyche. Post-punk music, Merchant Ivory films and Evelyn Waugh novels had ceased whispering and begun to scream at me. So had Gus Hardy, a still obscure English actor I'd determined to meet. I booked a flight that landed me at Heathrow thirty-two days before I was due at the portcullis of Balliol College (founded 1263) required Riverside Shakespeare (second edition) under my arm.
The only Londoner of my circle was a reporter I'd met at the 1982 New York City Flower Show, where I'd performed with Mayor Koch when I was ten. My Mom and this English journalist struck up an acquaintance and soon Soames was visiting the McGehean manse for tennis and pork chops.
Soames was the second son of one of the United Kingdom's wealthiest landowners. Having been born into the small straw hand of primogeniture he had packed up his bitterness in a monogrammed trunk, left Berwick-upon-Tweed, moved to New York City and deposited the box on the steps of the Unification Church. My mother was his only guest as he stood amongst 2,075 identically suited grooms and their brides at his Madison Square Garden wedding.
Although I was too young to understand the nuances of the Unificated, I knew enough to provocatively refer to Soames as a "Moonie" and to be genuinely sad when Mom told me the story of a midwestern couple next to whom she sat at the nuptials who tried with cheerful desperation to locate their son through a pair of binoculars.
Soames married a malasmatic Mexican peasant, moved her back to Albion, and with Bridesheadsian sadomasochism debuted her in London society. But Evelyn Waugh was dead and the aristocracy had, despite their efforts at stagnancy, given up their gills. Were Soames simply a feckless and sniveling rebel the Reverand Sun Myung Moon's benediction would surely have proved internecine to husband and wife. Instead the two tiptoed their way into a noble and kind relationship, one that soon brought them a son, Oliver, and later, a daughter, Beatrice.
Although a man of inconsistent but indubitable character, as proved in the unexpected efficacy of his rather odd choice, it was his maturation that would be the marriage's eventual undoing. Sixteen years later, after tending to nappies and teaching his shy wife the geography of Britain, Soames realized he was grown up enough to fall in love. Unfortunately for most involved, it was not with his wife.
It was at this time, alimony commenced, new flat procured and appointed, that I descended with an American thud and deposited no less than four suitcases and a bottle of Dom Perignon on his bachelor stoop in Battersea.
"Is that all you've brought?" he asked me.
"Do you know Gus Hardy?" was my response.
I spent a leisurely month at the theatre, at the museums, at the pubs. English bossiness tempered my American phlegmacy. I'd crawl from bed in the morning (perhaps afternoon) to find, next to the coffee, unequivocal instructions on how I was to spend my day: "Walk to Battersea Bridge Road. Take bus over bridge. Walk down King's Road and admire shops but do not buy more clothing as we've no room. Take tube from Sloane Square to Westminster. Admire it. Walk over Westminster Bridge and along South Bank to National Theatre and on to Tate Modern. Send your mum a postcard. Please buy us some flowers on your way home. S."
In this, my time of velleity, I had no interest in making my own decisions, in making any decisions really (except to choose peonies) and was content to follow Soames' instructions without question or compromise. I also inkled that strict adherence to my timetable allowed Soames the confidence of uninterrupted assignations between himself and his new grand passion, Fiona.
By the time I departed Paddington for Oxfordshire, London was my home. I had known I would love it. I was right. Nonetheless I relinquished my cosmopolis for a cloister, my tresses for a tonsure, my torpidity for text, and went to drama school.
Having learned my hours from the clock of show business, I have been well taught to do nothing when there is nothing to do. But when it is time to work, I expect no rest and am impeccably disciplined. I spent one month, six days a week, ten hours a day in class both laboring and blossoming under the iambics and pentameters of Romeo and Juliet, Much Ado about Nothing, and Julius Caesar. The other one hundred eight hours of the week were spent reading, memorizing, reciting, eating, sleeping (though little) and running before my 7am breakfast.
I have mastered inertia: at rest I remain at rest; in motion I stay in motion. Until disturbed by an external force. My friends who know me best have mentioned it might be interesting to glimpse my parallel universe, my Sliding Doors into a world where my ambition is not dictated by my libido. I seem goal oriented, yet the closer I come to the goal the more easily I rescind it, always opting for a love affair that interrupts the neat line I've drawn from point A to point B. My friends want to call it reluctance (it seems more elegant that I am psychologically unwilling) but to be honest, they call it hormones.
My Oxford professors were taken strongly by my artistic talents. The RSC director Barry Kyle said that my skill landed me in the 99th percentile of Shakespearean actors. Selena Cadell called my facility "very sound" and my vocal range "remarkably wide." Alan Rickman noted my wild imagination and David Leveaux, upon running into me in the buttery whilst I was swigging from an English version of the 40 oz. (2.08175 UK pints; 2,84125 litres) stopped me, looked me over, tucked his coy hair behind his ears and said, "That suits you."
In the beginning of my fourth week I was having a cigarette with a cherubically-curled smoke buddy when I realized I was twitterpated. My study break that began with a bummed Parliament on a bench in the quad ultimately also subsumed a pint or two at the White Horse, another at the King's Arms, a few whiskeys at Cafe Boheme and finally ended with a feast of ground spiced chick peas and fava beans at the falafel van.
Although my love for the toe-head was unreciprocated and therefore unrequited, my motion had been redirected and I was incapable of taking myself off its path. In the little time left at Balliol I continued to follow Jake about town, making his friends my friends and wearing my most alluring outfits. I memorized nothing, glossed The Merchant of Venice and only pulled off my final performance of because it was Romeo and Juliet and I compared my plight to that of Verona's great heroine.
I survived both theatrical poison and real rejection. Shakespeare has taught me to watch my tendency toward sentimentality. Newton has taught me to practice my friction.
Is this just your Red Room persona?
Hally, you've made me a faithful reader of your blogs. Your outlandish content, your recklessly flung about vocabulary and neologisms are a kick. If Johnny Carson were still on nightly TV you'd surely become a regular on his show, drawing an ever burgeoning home audience.
But are you for real?

Modern Kitchen Designs
Modern Kitchen Designs will fit only in modern house. Therefore if you want to build Modern Kitchen you need to make sure that your home is really modern style. Modern Kitchen fit not only young copuples but also senior couples. To build a modern kitchen the concepts of the owners need to be fixed first. What is meant by concept is that whether the owners want to put priority on the impression, luxuricity, efficiency etc. But still, to make modern kitchen look best you need to combine wall color, cabinet color, space and kitchen utensils. Good Luck!!!

Bedfordshire Police are in consultation and negotiation with members of the Sikh community following a protest by around 250 people outside Luton Police Station last night
An estimated 250 people were protesting outside Luton Police station last night because of the alleged release of a 'Muslim man' accused of sexually assaulting a Sikh Girl.
The EDL leader Tommy Robinson said that the EDL would be protesting with the group.
Bedfordshire Police did not confirmed if the protest had taken place at first, but whilst many people reported that the police station had been cordoned off, they later confirmed they were in talks with the protesters to calm the situation down.
In a statement they said: "The Sikh community attended the police station at around 9pm to air their concerns about an assault on a young woman from their community that had been reported the day before.
"Senior officers had earlier attended the Gurdwara in Dallow Road to meet with Luton Sikh community leaders and other interested parties to explain and share information regarding the criminal investigation so far. This concluded satisfactorily and the officers left. An hour later a wider group, including Sikhs from outside of the town arrived at the Buxton Road police station to discuss the issues further."
Chief Superintendent Mike Colbourne said: "Obviously we have a duty to facilitate lawful, peaceful protest and if people have concerns it is right they are aired responsibly. Our priority first and foremost, however, is with the victim in this matter and her family."
The community felt the police had not done enough to make sure the man was convicted.
Some members of the community had learnt through social media sites that a protest was taking place.
Eyewitnesses say members of the EDL were spotted wearing Turbans to show 'solidarity with the Sikh community'. Luton has had racial tensions before.

The new cash follows a greater emphasis on social link sharing.
Bitly has secured $15 million in new funding led by VC firm Khosla Ventures.
The funding comes in the wake of a site redesign that steered the company away from its original selling point--simple link shortening--toward a greater emphasis on social sharing.
Initially, many users complained that the site's new features were unnecessary and complicated, TechCrunch notes--but Bitly says daily registrations have increased by 300% since the redesign launched.
"Our goals for the funding is continue growing Bitly as a consumer service for the social web," CEO Peter Stern told Inc. in an email. "We want Bitly to be more useful to a wider audience."
Bitly called the redesign a "huge step" toward its vision to be "the primary online service for sharing and discovering interesting content," and said that the new funding will enable the company to further expand its "social web products."
The company has now raised a total of $28.5 million in venture funding. Backer Khosla Ventures has previously invested in such companies as Square, Yammer, and Jawbone.

SpottyPros: might look nice in a red themed case Cons: I got this card refurbished, however the testing must not of been extensive because any time I got the card over 25% usage it would disconnect and then reconnect. I then replaced it with the 450 gts cyclone also from msi and I worked perfectly. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Inexplicably died with horrible RMA servicePros: We used this card to run a church media system (to run lyrics, video, images) every Sunday. It worked well enough while it worked. Cons: This card, inexplicably, after a year of use. One day it was working, the next day our motherboard was giving us a Long-Short-Short beep alert that notified us that the card was not working. I put in a different card in the same slot and it worked just fine. The card has a 3 year warranty, which is good. However... MSI's warranty service is horrible. Every time I call, I wait on hold for 15 minutes then get disconnected. I had to do a self-guided warrantee service on their website. But when I sent it in, they never found it. After an email to their RMA department, they finally "received" it. It supposed to be 5-10 days warrantee service... but they've had it 13 days and I haven't even seen an update yet on the status of my RMA. The card has been gone for 3 weeks now and I still haven't seen any progress. Other Thoughts: This card is discontinued now... so I don't know how many people will see this. But, I'm very frustrated at MSI for being utterly inaccessible. I bought this card because I thought MSI was a reliable brand. I was wrong. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: powerful card runs almost all current games at high settings Cons: fan is slightly noisy, and the vent for the fan plugs rather quickly Other Thoughts: for anyone have issues with windows startup freezing when installing new drivers do not install hd audio driver. After RMAing one card which might have been fine . My new card was working fine till those drivers were installed in the 280.26 drivers. If that doesn't solve the problem I suggest RMA. They did an awesome job with me they were fast and courteous. Did you find this review helpful? |
N450GTS deadPros: I always like NVIDIA. This is a shorter card so I had no trouble getting it into my case. Ran great for 6 months. Cons: Video started to shut off periodically. Spent a lot of time cussing at my computer for nothing, it was my new video card. Finally it would flicker off and on, then that was that. Never overclocked it either. Other Thoughts: I have a lot of MSI components, normally I have good luck with them. This time my luck failed. Did you find this review helpful? |
Terrible CardPros: Was ok when it worked. Cons: First one lasted about 4 months, took weeks to get the replacement, it lasted a few days. Card runs way to hot memory errors, restarts,black screens,driver corrupt, you name it. MSI has lost me as a customer. Other Thoughts: Never again. Did you find this review helpful? |
So Far So Good!Pros: runs cool...I set 2 up in SLI and runs anything I throw at them. Cons: none so far Other Thoughts: Buy it. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: fast, affordable, it is Nvidia. Drivers are stable. Sli ready Cons: 128 bit, 1 Gb ram, Hdmi Mini port is very hard to access. it sits very close to the edge of the card and the cord does not fit. Rather frustrating. Other Thoughts: Good card for the price. plan to get another one sometime. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Pros: installed like a dream.quite Cons: none so far 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
WorkedPros: Pros: It was cheap, a good upgrade from my previous computer GPU and played the games I was playing. Cons: Sadly it just recently started getting artifacts and causing crashes whenever it was used in my SLI setup. I have isolated it to this card (My other is a 450GTS cyclone) and my system works great when this card is disabled...otherwise I crash Other Thoughts: I wouldn't advise buying this card now purely because its fairly old. I would STRONGLY advise if this was in your price range that you buy the 450GTS Cyclone. It runs MUCH cooler and overall was much better than this one. Otherwise I would not recommend this card for gaming purely for its age. Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
Could have Been BetterPros: Works like it should, when it works. It's quiet, not too bulky for a mid-tower case and seems to handle watching movies in HD just fine. I'm not a gamer so I cannot comment on that part of it, but watching action movies I cannot complain. Cons: The driver for the card stopped responding after a month of use. Had to boot up in safe-mode to get to my desktop without it going blank or freezing. Uninstalled the driver which was put out in April 2011 and installed the one that came on the disk, which was put out in June 2010. Same thing kept happening. So I uninstalled the driver completely just using the Windows default driver and everything seemed to work just fine, without sound going through my DVI to HDMI cable anyway. Other Thoughts: This seems like a good card now that it's working fine again. But I cannot recommend this particular model due to the problem that I and others are having with it. If it dies again I'm going back to EVGA which has never let me down even once. If you're having a similar problems with this card, read down and find the email address of the MSI rep, they're very helpful and quick. As far as RMAs go, this was an alright experience with quick and efficient service. Did you find this review helpful? |

I just got back from the supermarket
And apparently it's the end of the world because I've never seen it that crowded. There were huge signs in produce saying "WE HAVE NO BANANAS". There were maybe ten loaves of bread left in the entire store, and a handful of cans of soup and beans, at best.
Bananas were actually the first thing to run out at my supermarket too… Since when did they become an emergency supply?

Just a quick update - if you access the Cerberus Network now through Mass Effect 2, you'll find that the heavily scarred mercenary, Zaeed, is now available for download.
Just as a BioWare rep explained, the DLC would be available by Wednesday or Thursday. Thankfully, it's the former.
DLC delayed. DLC fixed. DLC now released. Case closed? Yes. That is, if it doesn't go the way of Return to Ostagar and get pulled for a last-minute problem.
This story sucks? This story rocks! |

i was thinking maybe the problem was with the cerberus network, but seeing as normandy crash went up trouble-free, it must've been issues with the zaeed content..
RE: RE: Zaeed now available via Cerberus Network —

Quoting unggoy:
yes, zaeed is free
are these dlcs free?..
yes, zaeed is free
RE: Zaeed now available via Cerberus Network —
2010-01-28 14:45
If you are a part of the Cerebus Network, then it's free. If you don't have the Network, it will cost $15 to access it, but it will also give you the free dlc now and more when Bioware gets it up and running.

The first time I ever saw Yojimbo perform was a surprising, revelatory experience. Colorful in
appearance and coming on with just the right touch of aloofness, they proceeded to exhibit such crackling energy, such a palpable sense of enthusiasm for what they were doing (exacerbated many-fold, no doubt, bythe welcoming and well-lubricated vibes of the near-capacity crowd) that the delightful mayhem I was assuredthey would deliver seemed all the more potent as a result…so it was with a great sense of curiosity that I dove into their debut record, We Are Dogs, seeking an answer to the question of whether or not their oh-so-blazing live presence could come off as powerfully on disc. And the answer, friends, is a veritable YES.Song by song, this record offers a wildly pleasurable palette of sounds and sensations. The overriding mood is one of jaunty aggression, some tracks designed to enliven you right up off your dainty little feet, others of a more caustic, belly-curling flavor (they also happen to bear some of the most memorably tongue in cheek titles of recent memory, for instance: Yo Mama (Is a Man) and Mr. Happy Bunny (Goes Bounce Bounce Down Da Boom Boom Path of Righteousness). Each of Yojimbo's four members – highly skilled and damned creative players all – are afforded space aplenty to let themselves go as far as their respective talents will take them, complementing and urging each other on along the way, resulting in a debut that is nothing short of fantastic; a harbinger of musical delights that are sure to follow…
Yojimbo are:
Adam Gartner (Drums, Percussion)
Carly Meyers (Trombone)
Drew Sharp (Moog Bass, Keys)

Odds are Ian Kramer should be working. He has a MBA from USC. He has experience in the cut throat world of Miami real estate development. The unemployment rate for someone with his education is half that of the overall level. And real estate is rebounding with several residential high rises sprouting from once dormant stretches of land.
Half of the paychecks of Floridians are smaller today than they were in 2004. Thanks to a wicked combination of fewer working hours and the financial erosion of inflation, the median hourly wage in Florida is $0.63 less than what it was eight years ago, according to a recent study by the Research Institute on Social and Economic Policy at Florida International University.
Ian, Jay and Sal. That's them in the photo on the right. Each of them is an unemployment statistic with a story.
Jimmy Choo at Sawgrass Mills. Hermes in the Design District. Even Marky's Caviar in Miami Gardens. South Floridians are welcoming luxury retailers with open arms just like Britto's "Welcome" sculpture greets shoppers near Dadeland Station in the photo on the right.
Luxury retailing in South Florida is expanding beyond its traditional glitzy locations and stretching to include not just shoes and accessories, but also shoppers' appetites.
Of course you shop online. You're a digital consumer. You're on the Internet right now. You are a savvy shopper, looking for the right product at the right price and you want it fast and easy. Point, click, buy.
But you're in the minority. The vast majority of retail sales across the nation take place at brick and mortar stores. While Americans spend about $1 trillion per quarter in the retail industry, only a nickel of every dollar is spent online. But in the fight between online and in-store retailing, online spending is growing faster, much faster.
One square foot is not a lot of space. You can fit a pair of shoes in one square foot. But, if you are a luxury retailer at Bal Harbour Shops in Bal Harbour, you sell $2,800 worth of merchandise per square every year. That's six times what the average shopping center generates in the same amount space.

In the 1970's it was water beds. In the 1980's, Keith Koenig sold dinette sets. Now it's couches and entertainment centers.
Koenig and his brother began what would become City Furniture in 1971. He has seen plenty of cycles in the South Florida economy, as well as how consumer tastes impact his business. Housing booms and housing busts. A growing population. And wicker. Koenig has a unique perspective at the intersection of two industries: real estate and retail. His outlook? Very positive.
If you've wandered the hallways of the Dadeland or Aventura Malls or walked down Lincoln Road in Miami Beach on a Sunday afternoon, you know shopping in South Florida can be a full contact sport.
South Florida is home to both the biggest outlet mall in the United States (Sawgrass Mills) and the shopping destination generating the highest sales per square foot in the world (Bal Harbour Shops.) The reality of retail is a reflection of two of our most important industries; real estate and tourism.
Florida public school teachers will get about $250 dollars this year to spend on classrooms supplies.
RELATED: The Sunshine Economy: Education
Teachers have gotten an annual stipend for more than a decade, helping make up for some of the money teachers spend out of their own pockets for student supplies.
WLRN's Sunshine Economy spoke with several teachers about what they spend and why.
This week, Sawgrass Mills Mall announced that it will add the Jimmy Choo name to its lineup at the Colonnade Outlet Malls.
Jimmy Choo is a new-to-market retailer.
Business reporter Karen Rundlet visits the mall to find the well documented "suitcase shoppers."
A letter grade can be one of the clearest methods to communicate quality. The USDA uses it for meat. S&P uses letter grades for credit ratings. The state of Florida uses it for public schools.
But the leaders of the two largest public school districts in the state have little or no confidence in the current letter grading system used by Florida.
Jon Hage may be one of the most important school leaders you probably have never heard of. No one elected him to a school board or hired him as a superintendent.
But his company, Charter Schools USA based in Fort Lauderdale, is one of the fastest growing charter school operators. It runs more than a dozen schools in Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties and has expanded to a half dozen more states.
During the past several weeks, South Florida business executives from manufacturing, hospitality and other industries have told The Sunshine Economy how challenging it is for them to find qualified employees locally.
A new school year is underway for hundreds of thousands of children in South Florida. A new year brings with it the potential of new learning, new skills... and new challenges.
Are our kids learning what they need to in order to compete in the global job market of the future?
South Florida schools welcome back students August 19 and WLRN's Sunshine Economy looks at the education industry with "Getting Schooled, Public Education in South Florida."
The demand for electricity is growing in South Florida, but Florida Power and Light has been tearing down power plants.
The power plants like the one in the slideshow above have been generating electricity for more than 50 years in many cases. Often, they burned oil to make power.

Description: I took this photo last summer up at my cabin when I was clearing out the bullrushes to make a path for our boat to get to the dock. If you pulled them up with just the right amount of force you would reveal this beautiful green stalk, I got it down to a science and I pulled out hundreds of these bad boys and laid them out on the dock then snapped some pictures of them fresh out of the lake.

Arnold-Chiari Malformation
Arnold-Chiari malformation is a rare genetic disorder. In this syndrome, some parts of the brain are formed abnormally. Malformations may occur in the lower portion of the brain (cerebellum) or in the brain stem. Doctors are not sure of the cause of Arnold-Chiari malformation.
A German pathologist named Arnold-Chiari was the first to describe Arnold-Chiari malformation in 1891. Normally, the brain stem and cerebellum are located in the posterior fossa, an area at the base of the skull attached to the spinal cord. In Arnold-Chiari malformation, the posterior fossa does not form properly. Because the posterior fossa is small, the brain stem, cerebellum, or cerebellar brain tissues (called the cerebellar tonsils) are squeezed downward through an opening at the bottom of the skull. The cerebellum and/or the brain stem may extend beyond the skull or protrude into the spinal column. The displaced tissues may obstruct the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), the substance that flows around the brain and spinal cord. CSF nourishes the brain and spinal cord.
Although this malformation is present at birth, there may not be any symptoms of a problem until adulthood. For this reason, Arnold-Chiari malformation is often not
diagnosed until adulthood. Women have a higher incidence of this disorder than men.
Other names for Arnold-Chiari malformation are Arnold-Chiari malformation, Arnold-Chiari syndrome, herniation of the cerebellar tonsils, and cerebellomedullary malformation syndrome. When doctors diagnose Arnold-Chiari malformation, they classify the malformation by its severity. A Arnold-Chiari I malformation is the least severe. In a Arnold-Chiari I malformation, the brain extends into the spinal canal. Doctors measure the length of brain stem located in the spinal canal to further define the malformation.
A type II malformation is more severe than a type I. It is almost always linked with a type of spina bifida. A sac protrudes through an abnormal opening in the spinal column. The sac is called a myelomeningocele. It may be filled with part of the spinal cord, spinal membranes, or spinal fluid. Unlike many cases of Arnold-Chiari I malformation, Arnold-Chiari II malformation is diagnosed in childhood. Doctors have identified Arnold-Chiari III and IV malformations, but they are very rare.
Arnold-Chiari malformations may occur with other conditions. There may be excessive fluid in the brain (hydrocephalus), opening in the spine (spina bifida), or excessive fluid in the spinal cord (syringomyelia), but many people with Arnold-Chiari malformations do not have other medical problems.

text: http://www.gapersblock.com/detour/archives/the_vagaries_of_contemporary_rock_crit.php You too may not agree with his doctrine that one of the points of record reviews should be to educate people with a bunch of formal music terminology, and it suffers from the fact that nobody but a critic whings about how nobody takes criticism as seriously as critics do, but it's worth reading for observations like this: "I don't know about you, but I love reading record reviews. They seem so erudite, so witty, so carefully crafted to impart what? Well, in a word, cleverness. The author wants to show you just how witty, well-learned, and clever he or she truly is. That's all well and good -- art for art's sake and all of that -- but it's utter bullshit when it comes to helping consumers make decisions and educating a listening audience in the descriptive language that successfully describes the music the reviewer is attempting to review. ... Most music critics are fans, primarily, and their enthusiasm or lack thereof is more evident in their work than any discussion of structure, meter, tone, etc. Consequently, the average rock review comes off like the excited and/or snide writings found in an erudite college student's journal -- essentially telling a reader in ornate terms that he or she thinks something rocks or sucks. It all boils down to this: music reviewers are even less successful in evoking the very sound of a piece of music than an art reviewer is in evoking the visual elements of the work they're reviewing."

Download Categories Synchronizer 1.2 |
Internally, all people with even a touch of OCD are just really misunderstood. At least I think so, because I have to have so many things set up to sit right in categories and be color coded and coordinated. I know that drives some people crazy, but at least I know exactly where to look for what I want when I want it.
Categories Synchronizer, then, just made my day. It took all of categories and just made them that much more organized by syncing them all together. It made for a perfect mesh of cross- referencing and color matching that only a person with intense OCD could truly appreciate. I don't have OCD but you would not know it by the excitement I exhibited about finding this free download that makes a perfectly hyper- organized situation even more organized than ever before.
I am so pleased with all of my synced categories I think I might have to take a picture to remember this moment. Then again, that might be a little off, so I should just let everyone know what a great program this is and let things go at that. I have a super tidy friend who could appreciate this....I'll have to share it with her.

What's New Pussycat

Time Out says
At the time, Richard Williams' credit titles were thought to be better than the film they introduced. In retrospect, it is clear that while Woody Allen, who wrote the script and appears as the hero's friend, saw it as a satire on womanising - the O'Toole character is based on Warren Beatty - Clive Donner saw it as a morality tale in the form of a farce. The mixed results are entertaining, if flawed. O'Toole is the promiscuous hero, with Schneider, Andress, Prentiss and Capucine as some of his women, and Sellers the decidedly camp psychoanalyst he goes to for help.Author: PH

Now that Britney Spears is free from the demanding schedule of The X Factor and has no significant other stealing away her attention, she seems to be on a mission to churn out new music and conquer Vegas. Of course, this is great news for Brit fans, since we'll soon be sampling new flavors from the icon. For now, though, we have an amuse-bouche in the form of a "Gimme More" remix.
Simon Ellis, the musical director for Brit's 2011 Femme Fatale tour, has posted a free download of the "Gimme More" remix used during that string of concerts. It blasts open the original track's tightly wound dance energy, turning it into a cavernous, Lady Gaga-like theatrical number that could be coming from an S&M ball in a cathedral. In other words, it's worth a download. Head below for a free copy.
OK all you Britney fans who wanted my Femme Fatale tour Gimmee More remix. It's now availabe for download, FREE here!!db.tt/sTh5gvek

Believe there has been a lot of unnecessary concern and hand-wringing regarding the present issues on the Korean peninsula. According to this morning's news, Actions have been taken by the Sec of State to address the situation.
Hillary has demanded an apology from NK for sinking the SK ship. And in the event they (NK) resist/refuse to provide that apology she is fully prepared to unleash the extreme measure of condemning Li'l Kim.

New campaign cracks down on begging in Exeter
A FRESH crackdown on begging was launched in Exeter today in a bid to cut off the supply chain for those funding their addiction.
The team behind the campaign argue that people who give money to beggars are doing more harm than good as money handed over is often spent on drugs or alcohol or to fund a comfortable lifestyle away from the streets.
The problem has now been highlighted in a poster campaign run by the Exeter Community Safety Partnership, which lists the city council and police among its members.
People are being encouraged to donate instead to an Alternative Giving Scheme, where funds are channelled directly towards projects to help the homeless and those sleeping rough. These include Exeter Community Initiatives, St Petrocks, Esther Community, Shillhay, EDP Drug and Alcohol Services, Addaction and Community Housing Aid.

City council leader Pete Edwards, said it was not about demonising homeless people but trying to offer them the help they need.
He said: "Evidence that the overwhelming majority of people begging on the streets of Exeter spend their begging money on crack cocaine and heroin is indisputable. Giving money to these people could be fuelling a drug habit that will eventually kill them.
"These people do need help but paying them direct will cause more harm than good. The best way to help is to donate money instead to the Alternative Giving Scheme where it will go directly to projects involved with helping the homeless and rehabilitating those who have addictions to drugs and alcohol."
Begging has been a priority issue for the city centre police team in recent months. A recent operation to target the problem showed that all those arrested for begging during a recent sweep were either housed or had been evicted from housing.
Sgt Chris Leisk, city centre beat manager, said the clear distincition needed to be made between genuine homeless people and those begging.
He said: "This is not about trying to establish services that should be provided for people that need help. They are already in place and ready to accept people.
"This also isn't about targetting people who are down on their luck. It's not about arresting or cutting off the help for people who find themselves in hard times. We see the same people every day of the week using begging to fund the lifestyle they choose.
"This campaign is about educating the public to help us make these people get the help they need to challenge their addictions.
"People have expressed concerns over whether stopping the begging will turn these people to other crimes but all the indications we have show that instead they tackle their addictions and turn to the support agencies available."
Matt Bell, Chief Executive, of Exeter Community Initiatives, said: "This Scheme is a great idea and Exeter needs to support it. Many of us feel we want to help people who are obviously going through difficult times.
"By using the Alternative Giving Scheme the public can make a difference in a way that helps people with their problems by vital funds going to frontline homeless charities like St Petrocks and Shilhay Community who support thousands of people put their lives back together."
Other evidence has shown that beggars can earn up to £80 a day. A recent audit proved that over 70 per cent of people begging were not homeless. When they had finished begging and obtained their fix they were then returning to their accommodation.
Begging is a criminal offence and giving to beggars on the street continues the cycle of homelessness for those caught up in it. Anyone who sees someone begging can report it to the police by contacting 101. The message is simple 'don't give money to people who are begging – if you would like to help the homeless please support the Alternative Giving Scheme.'

in response to KathrynSimpson:
For the past 10 years, SKSD has spent hundreds of dollars less per year, per student, than the state average. Anyone who would like a spreadsheet detailing that information, please feel free to email me.
I would also like to correct Ducky's false assertion that Dr. Cheney is collecting full retirement and her SKSD current salary. That is simply not factual. Dr. Cheney is in a retirement 'tier' that limits the retire-rehire time she is allowed to double dip. Instead of walking away from SKSD when that cap hit, Dr. Cheney knew she would spend most of her contract year (until June 30, 2013), with a suspended retirement and not receiving her retirement pay for the majority of her temporary role here in SKSD. Dr. Cheney was willing to serve as our interim superintendent, knowing this in advance, because she is an individual who cares about South Kitsap and our students. I sincerely thank her for her commitment to our community!
"Cost per student" I sure have to agree with you that you saved money there no matter what your student count is.
The average federal funded "cost per student" in the United States today is $19,000 per student. The lowest funded state in the US of A is Arizona at $13,929 per student. The highest funded "cost per student" state in the US of A in New York at $29,836 per student.
You state that you use $9,375 per student yet SKSD finance officer, Sandy Rotella, states the district only spends $5,116 per student. Don't care which number you use there is a minimum of $6,000 by your number and a minimum of $9,000 by Rotella's number missing.
Where is that money Ms Simpson?
