After making honey sesame chicken last spring, I have been determined to make more take-out recipes. And if I could make them in the slow cooker, that's even better!
Chicken Teriyaki is another one of my favorite take-out dishes, so I wanted to give it a try. I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Make sure you use low-sodium soy sauce, otherwise the chicken will be very salty (and not in a good way).
- 3 lbs. chicken breasts
- 3/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/3 cup light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 tbs. orange marmalade
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 tbs. cold water
- 1 1/2 tbs. corn starch
- cooked rice
- sliced green onion and/or sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Place the chicken breasts in the slow cooker.
- In a bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, cider vinegar, honey, ground ginger, garlic, brown sugar, and the orange marmalade. Pour the mixture over the chicken and cook on low heat for 5-6 hours.
- Remove the chicken and shred with a fork. Set aside.
- Dissolve the corn starch in a small bowl with the cold water. Pour the sauce from the slow cooker into a sauce pan. Heat on medium heat. Stir in the corn starch mixture. Bring the sauce to a light boil, whisking constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from the heat.
- Place the shredded chicken back into the slow cooker (now turned off or on warm) or into a bowl, Pour the sauce over the chicken and mix until the chicken is covered in the sauce.
- Serve over rice and/or veggies. Garnish with green onion or sesame seeds.

I don´t think the accused lable is needed sinch the girlfriend´s mother witnessed it.Not to sound heartless but the Chiefs won´t play any worse because of this than they already do (I´m a Chiefs fan)
If Obama had a son, he´d look like.....
These cases are simply .. tragic.
......and the lawyers will be all over this, screaming about head injury liability in 3-2-1.
We are saddened here in KC.....such a tragedy for a 5 month old orphan baby........our hearts go out to the family´s.
The self centered vicious selfishness of this man is beyond understanding.
No need to name call these people. He was obviously out of his mind and things got worse since last night. Suicidal/homicidal people become irrational and then they are lost resulting in tragedies like this. He shot her in front of her mother so it´s not alleged anymore. To drive over to the stadium and kill himself tells you how crazy this is and for his bosses to witness the suicide is just beyond belief. Supposedly he was a good guy. But one has to wonder what drove him to that point. I say money, the girl, it never fails.
G-d bless the poor girl´s family and the baby. Really don´t know about the guy & girlfriend but sounds like a mental illness tragedy.
Leave it to the A Pee headline writers.
The 10-year Great Depression, with it´s families living through difficulties that no families experience today never had such an environment of crazy, ego-demanding, short-tempered, evilness that we´ve been experiencing every day for the past 30 years. It´s the people´s crazyness and the insanity of the politicians they vote in that are the reason why this county is already dead. We´re just not ready to admit it yet so we can just take this mess out and bury it and start over. And that cannot and will not happen until America gets down on it´s knees and prays to the One True God publicly every chance it gets.


text: Forgotten People of MavingaSeptember 19, 2002According to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), a complete lack of food at reception areas in Matungo and Capembe in Angola's southern province of Cuando Cubango has spurred nearly 10,000 people to make their way to the town of Mavinga, nearly 50 kilometers away. The isolated village deep in the province is completely surrounded by landmines, and has little save a battered airstrip and dusty roads connecting it to the rest of the country. A direct, clean water supply is urgently needed as 10 people have already died from shigella, or bloody diarrhea. What water is being brought in is not enough for the people who were there before the recent influx, and with so many new arrivals, the situation is likely to get far worse. MSF Epicentre epidemiologist, Thomas Grein, was conducting a mortality survey in the region, dubbed "o fin do mundo" or "end of the world" by the Portuguese, when the mass exodus started two weeks ago. "News spread through the quartering areas that people should move to Mavinga where the food is," he said. "We saw hundreds of people start walking in single file down the road carrying bundles on their heads." Mavinga is already home to 10,000 displaced people, and the international community has been slow to react. General food distributions remain largely insufficient and irregular, but it is the only area where people know there is any food. The airstrip was closed recently because of the discovery of anti-tank mines. Yet there are no de-mining agencies working in the entire region, which is known to be one of the most heavily mined in the country. "We need more realistic support such as new trucks to deliver the food and we need some serious water and sanitation intervention before a cholera epidemic spreads through the population," said Fred Meylan, MSF's Head of Mission in Angola. "Above all we need de-mining agencies to start surveying the area so that we can reach isolated populations and work safely." Currently, MSF is treating nearly 300 severely malnourished people at a therapeutic feeding center (TFC) in Mavinga and providing food to thousands of moderately malnourished at three supplemental feeding centers (SFCs). MSF staff have also vaccinated 17,466 children against measles and has provided blanket feeding for up to 10,000 people in the area. MSF has been present in Angola since 1983, and currently has 174 international volunteers and 2,200 national staff. Their operations in Angola are the largest the group is undertaking in the world today. Tags: Angola, Malnutrition |

There has been considerable change in the taxonomy of Rana and ranines in the last 20 years. Particularly relevant literature is noted below. See Ranidae account for relevant literature as well. The summary of Asian "Rana" (now parsed into many new genera and several families) by Boulenger, 1920, Rec. Indian Mus., 20: 1-226, remains useful. Dubois, 1981, Monit. Zool. Ital., N.S., Suppl., 15: 225-284, presented a generic and subgeneric arrangement of the ranines which has largely been superseded. Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 305-352, provided a system of sections, subgenera (33), and species groups that criticized by subsequent authors (see in particular Inger, 1996, Herpetologica, 52: 241-246; Frost, Grant, Faivovich, Bain, Haas, Haddad, de Sá, Channing, Wilkinson, Donnellan, Raxworthy, Campbell, Blotto, Moler, Drewes, Nussbaum, Lynch, Green, and Wheeler, 2006, Bull. Am. Mus. Nat. Hist., 297: 1-370), who noted a number of problems in the diagnoses of Dubois' subgenera, particularly Eburana (now part of Odorrana), Hylarana, and Pulchrana. Farris, Kluge, and Mickevich, 1982, Syst. Zool., 31: 479-490, and Farris, Kluge, and Mickevich, 1979, Syst. Zool., 28: 627-634, disputed the phylogenetic arrangement of North American Rana (now Rana plus Lithobates) proposed by Case, 1978, Syst. Zool., 27, and Post and Uzzell, 1981, Syst. Zool., 30: 170-180, noting that the Rana boylii group was probably a paraphyletic group from which the Rana temporaria group was derived. This suggestion was rejected by Uzzell and Post, 1986, Syst. Zool., 35: 414-421. Macey, Strasburg, Brisson, Vredenburg, Jennings, and Larson, 2001, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 19: 131-143, reported on the molecular phylogeny of a monophyletic Rana boylii group. The Rana boylii group of most North American authors is equivalent to the Section Amerana of Dubois, 1992, Bull. Mens. Soc. Linn. Lyon, 61: 322, which in his system contained two subgenera, Amerana (Rana boylii and Rana muscosa) and Aurorana (Rana aurora, Rana cascadae, and Rana pretiosa). Hillis and Wilcox, 2005, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 34: 305, demonstrated that Aurorana (in the sense of Dubois, 1992) is paraphyletic with respect to pieces of a polyphyletic Amerana. Orlova, Bakharev, and Borkin, 1977, Trudy Zool. Inst. Akad. Nauk SSSR, Leningrad, 74: 81-101, reported on karyology and taxonomy of the Rana temporaria group. Pope and Boring, 1940, Peking Nat. Hist. Bull., 15: 48-63, provided a key and reviewed many of the Chinese species. Liu, 1950, Fieldiana, Zool. Mem., 2: 253-322, reviewed the species of western China. Liu and Hu, 1961, Tailless Amph. China: 137-217, reviewed Chinese species and indicated phylogenetic arrangement by recognizing groups. Mensi, Lattes, Macario, Salvidio, Giacoma, and Balletto, 1992, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 105: 293-311, studied phylogenetic relationships within the European members of the Rana temporaria group. Japanese species discussed by Maeda and Matsui, 1990, Frogs Toads Japan, Ed. 2. Veith, Kosuch, and Vences, 2003, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 26: 310-327, reported on the phylogenetics of the Western Palearctic members of the Rana temporaria group. Xie, Fei, and Ye, 2000, Cultum Herpetol. Sinica, 8: 74-80, reported on the phylogenetics of the Rana japonica group in China (Rana zhenhaiensis, Rana chevronta, Rana chaochiaoensis, and Rana omeimontis). Pseudoamolops was suggested by Fei, Ye, and Jiang, 2000, Acta Zool. Sinica, 46: 21, 25, to be the sister taxon of other members of the Amolopinae (Amo, Amolops, Huia, and Meristogenys) and derived with respect to a paraphyletic "Hylarana". Hillis and Wilcox, 2005, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 34: 311, provided a study of American Rana and phylogenetic applications of the names Amerana Dubois, 1992, Rana Linnaeus, 1758, and Laurasiarana Hillis and Wilcox, 2005. Hillis, 2007, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 42: 331-338, suggested that Laurasiarana Hillis and Wilcox, 2005, is valid within Linnaean nomenclature, although Dubois, 2007, Cladistics, 23: 392, documented its status as a nomen nudum. Pauly, Hillis, and Cannatella, 2009, Herpetologica, 65: 115-128, attempted for the third time to consider Lithobates (and by implication Pseudorana) as parts of Rana; this was discussed and rejected by Frost, McDiarmid, and Mendelson, 2009, Herpetologica, 65: 136-153. See comment under Lithobates. Lu, Li, and Jiang, 2007, Acta Zootaxon. Sinica, 32: 792-801, provided a good discussion of the state of the literature of Chinese brownfrogs (Rana amurensis, Rana chensinensis, and Rana longicrus groups). Che, Pang, Zhao, Matsui, and Zhang, 2007, Zool. Sci., Tokyo, 24: 71-80, reported on the molecular phylogenetics of Chinese brown frogs. Wiens, Sukumaran, Pyron, and Brown, 2009, Evolution, 63: 1217-1231, corroborated the monophyly of this taxon (sensu Frost et al., 2006), and found it to be the sister taxon of Lithobates, but did not employ this taxonomy. Yan, Jiang, Chen, Fang, Jin, Li, Wang, Murphy, and Zhang, 2011, Asian Herpetol. Res., Ser. 2, 2: 61-71, discussed mtDNA relationships among members of the Rana longicrus group. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, in their study of Genbank sequences confirmed the monophyly of this taxon and its placement as the sister taxon of Lithobates (but this is difficult to appreciate given the authors' adoption of a nonmonophyletic and antiquated taxonomy), and provided a tree of exemplars. Powell, Collins, and Hooper, 2011, Key Herpetofauna U.S. & Canada, 2nd Ed.: 51-53, provided a key to the species of the United States and Canada.

"I to the World" from Oh, Brother! (Original Broadway Cast)
music, Michael Velenti. words, Donald Driver.
performed by David Carroll (credited as David-James Caroll in those days), Harry Groener, Joe Morton, and Alan Weeks
This number is a breezy delight that I've been playing on loop for the past 24 hours. A wistful ballad for four men—how many of those even exist? And what a cast! Both sets of twins are seen, in their respective parts of the world, searching for their other halves. I love the tone and vocal arrangement. The lyric is another story. It starts of innocently enough—perhaps a bit earnest, but serviceable. But the end of the refrain (which is sung about 3 times in the song) is indecipherable nonsense almost a direct quote from Shakespeare that scans REALLY poorly, obscuring the meaning. Does anyone care to take a stab at decoding the following?:
So I to find another
(So I to find my brother)
In the search for him unhappy lose myself
I found this album a few years ago at Academy Records in NYC (on 18th St btw 5th and 6th Aves—GO! Their cast recording selection is finite but always revolving and always includes one or two discoveries or unbelievable bargains). Prior to that I had only read what Ken Mandlebaum has to say about it in Not Since Carrie. I wasn't even aware a cast recording was made—but I think I can safely say I'm glad one was.
The show (with Book direction and lyrics by Donald Driver, who had a big success with contemporizing Shakespeare as the librettist for Your Own Thing) is a musical version of Comedy of Errors, set during "a revolution in an oil rich Middle Eastern country on the Persian Gulf." Hell, the liner notes are short, so I'll just past them below:
The middle east here is depicted with a complete and utter lack of understanding about the culture and customs. This was a bit before American political involvement in that area, so I think the creators figures they could treat their location like an updated Ali Baba setting. And most of the songs are more rooted in the Shakespearean situation, using the locale more as a musical palette than anything else. The writers really get into trouble when they try to add social commentary—not realizing how loaded a battle-of-the-sexes song like "It's a Man's World" is when you set it in Iraq. They number they provide is great fun and sung by no less than Judy Kaye, Alyson Reed and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (the later credited without her middle name), but would seem quaint and dated even if it weren't set in a part of the world whose gender politics are one of the great socio-policial battles of our generation.
Because of numbers like "It's a Man's World" and "Revolution" (as well as that plot point involving a terrorist hijacking a plane and taking it to Iraq), I think we can safely assume that this show will never see the light of day again.

Cast Iron at the Omni Fort Worth
Online Reservations
I tried this on a whim. Very happy with the entire experience. Calamari steak and pot pie in a jar! Wonderful selection. Thank you to the staff.
st Iron. We had reservations for the Easter Brunch. It was very well organized to accomadte the volume of people. The service and food was outstanding and will make this our new Easter Tradition with our family. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
We enjoyed Easter Brunch with our family of four (two kids) and it was perfect for all of us! Lots of food choices, atmosphere and service was upscale, yet they even had a small kids table they could serve themselves from! Food quality was perfect and service was so friendly and efficient even with the little ones! Plus we were an hour early for our reservation and since it was just 4 of us they were able to seat us within 10 min! We will be back and would recommend!
Our experience was enjoyable. Restaurant was not full, so we were able to visit with our guests comfortable. We had salmon and were pleased with that selection. Desserts were yummy. We actually ate at this restaurant three times during our three day stay at the Omni.
Well prepared and presented, but from very limited menu. The service was very attentive without being obtrusive. If you need be at the Omni or the Fort Worth Convention Center and need a place to eat then Cast Iron is a good choice. If you are just in Fort Worth and looking for a place dine there a number of other options.
This was our first visit to Cast Iron, but we will definitely be going back. We live in Arlington, TX and will joyfully make the trip back to Fort Worth to eat here. The food was absolutely wonderful. I had the salmon and my husband had the BLT. Then we indulged in their desserts, me having the Sweet Potato Creme Brulee and him having the Dr Pepper Chocolate Cake!! Our waiter was Andre and I would recommend that you ask for him, as we have never gotten as good of service as we did from him. For the price and the food AND the service, we will be going back on a regular basis!!
The food, quality, and service are all outstanding. You cant go wrong for brunch at Cast Iron. Be prepared though that they may add a significant charge to your debit or credit card without informing you. When I called the restaurant later in the day to find out why so much more was added to my card then I had signed for at the restaurant all I received was poor attitude and run around answers. There best explanation was that it is charged that much and is pending until the next business day when the actually charge will show on my bank statement. If this is the case then that needs to be explained, although I have never had this happen before at any other restaurant but it has now happened twice as Cast Iron.
We were actually seated early which was great. Great selection and quality was really good. Will go back often. Service was exceptional for a brunch.
This is our third year to attend the Mother's Day brunch. The food choices were awesome! I highly recommend The Cast Iron Skillet for any brunch occasion. Can't wait for next year!!
Mother's Day Brunch was exceptional! Great variety of choices for anyone's tastes, even kids. Service was spot on and always there when needed, and the buffets were set in separete areas so there was never any crowding, (except for the waffles and omelets, but hey it was a great time to meet and chat with others). I recommend the prime rib and seviche, and of course, the free mimosa's were superb as well!
We decided to spend the extra money and have Mother's Day Brunch here. It was well worth it. The service was incredible from providing us drinks while we waited for our table to constantly making sure we had enough coffee and a clean table. The staff serving the food were delightful and could have a conversation. The food was incredible and there were so many options ranging from elaborate to simple stuff for younger eaters. Overall one of the best brunches we have had in a long long time.
Wide variety of foods for a great sunday brunch. Complimentary mimosas are a great touch. Servers are attentive
Brunch buffet was nice. Salad bar great. Could offer more breakfast selections, and have sturdier tongs. Service was excellent! Bottomless mimosa for the price was very good. Would recommend.
I planned a business lunch and it came off perfectly. Thanks to the Cast Iron staff.
We loved the food described as "southern comfort food". We were not disappointed and especially enjoyed the salmon and the chicken pot pie! I love champagne and they have White Star by the glass, no less! It is perfect for a large group of friends. We were in a quiet spot where we could visit despite our group size. The service was superb!
Can't beat the price for such a selection. Unlimited Mimosas, carving station, 2 entrees that change, omelet station, breakfast bar, dessert bar, shrimp, apps, and salad all for $28.95. Food was great as well as the service. Been here often and will continue to go back.
Great restaurant for Sunday brunch before a Bass Hall performance. Valet parking is validated by the restaurant. Great food selections and mimosas
Great variety of foods to appease any palate. Complementary mimosa top of the end of a wonderful experience.
First time there, it was quiet so we could talk without having to yell over the noise. Since my sister was in from out of town this was great so we could leisurely talk. The staff did not rush us, so the evening was a total success at catching up in our small family reunion.
We had a lovely brunch before heading to Bass Hall for an early afternoon performance. I am usually skeptical about hotel restaurants, so Cast Iron was a nice surprise. Very nice, yet comfortable and casual atmosphere, great brunch selection, very good coffee (big with us), and our server gave us just the right amount of attention. Would definitely recommend and return.
The food was very good and diverse but perhaps a bit overpriced.
We decided on Thanksgiving dinner out this year which included the important considerations of a small child. The service at Cast Iron was friendly, courteous and attentive without being interruptive and hovering. The dining tables had ample space between them so that one didn't feel imposed upon by neighboring diners and their conversation. The food selections were plentiful and tasty, with the desert table especially exciting, but turkey dinner under warming lights just can't measure up to one prepared in my own kitchen.
This is was our first visit to Cast Iron - having attempted reservations too late the past two years. We attended based on a review (consistently good) in the Fort Worth Star Telegram. We were not disappointed. Leave room for the food. The meal was excellent with a few current trendy items and some traditional. Excellent seafood alternatives also. We'll definitely come again next year.
Consistent, diverse quality breakfast and lunch menu options. Great value for money. A Fort Worth treasure.

Jeanne-Marie "Aurora" Beaubier (jeanne_marie) wrote in x_fluff_x, @ 2008-11-01 16:08:00 |
Entry tags: | aurora, quicksilver, sunfire |
A night out! What a concept.
Who: Aurora, tag Sunfire and Quicksilver
Where: Bar/club in Manhattan
When: Friday night, January 8, 2010
What: Blowing off some steam. And getting drinks.
Status: Incomplete
Rating: PG-13
Aurora hadn't been out with people in awhile. Sure, she'd go out by herself, meet up with whomever she met up with (even if she didn't know who the hell they were), and have herself a grand old time. It was easy for her, being that person. Why she'd managed to stay stuffed down so long while boring, meticulous, irritatingly shut down Jeanne-Marie ran the show, Aurora had no idea. But she was out again, stretching her legs, and remembering exactly why it was so easy for her to lead.
It wasn't surprising to Aurora that when she went back to the X-Men, there was no overwhelming show of glad that she was back. Jeanne-Marie hadn't seemed to forge a relationship for crap, and Aurora was sort of glad to have a clean slate. There were those there that she already knew, but no one that Aurora wasn't fine to be around again. And there were many new faces to her. It was nice, it was like getting to start over with Alpha Flight again, but with a lot more people, and quite a few very powerful people.
New Years had come and gone, and apparently, leaving beer in the fridge was a one way street to no longer having beer in the fridge. Either way, Aurora wasn't too upset about it. Besides, she'd apparently struck up conversation enough to have company for the night. Aurora called a cab to meet her at the gate to the mansion earlier in the night. She didn't want the responsibility of a car. Besides, parking in Manhattan was a fiasco unto itself. She'd made plans with Shiro, and waited for him by the front door. When he finally showed up, Aurora smiled warmly. "Ready for a night out?"

With white Bai Mu Dan, sweet pieces of peach, macadamia nuts, and a big hit of smoky whisky flavour, this rich blend might just replace the bottle of bourbon you have stashed in the back of your desk. Of course, spiking it with an extra splash of whisky wouldn't hurt.

This is really what it looks like from the road; a little tired, drive up motel. The rooms are passable, clean, but the shower and actually the entire bathroom is quite outdated, mold in the shower tile, old vanity, rusty radiator, etc. Antique furnishings (like it says in the website)? I didn't see that. It's more like tag sale furnishings.... More

FCS Diversity and Inclusion - PROPOSED RULE - MARCH 2011
Dear Mr. Van Meter,
I am writing to request that Farm Credit Services adopt plans to increase lending to small and medium size farmers growing for local markets. In the southeast Michigan area, the demand for local foods fars outstrips the supply. There are trained individuals interested in starting small and mid size farms that need financial assistance and business supports that will allow them to grow for local and regional markets.
Thank you in advance for your attention to this important matter.

Should Catholic and Other Religious Institutions Have to Cover Birth Control? >
Contraception Mandate Doesn't Protect Religious Liberty
The First Amendment exists to shield believers and their institutions from exactly this kind of brute force
February 9, 2012
No. Because of the First Amendment and the Religious Freedom Restoration Act—a federal civil rights statute sponsored by Ted Kennedy and signed by President Clinton—the clear answer is "absolutely not."
Proponents of this federal HHS mandate would like you to believe the main question is whether and how to increase access to contraception. But the real question here is whether the government can force religious organizations to either pay for activity that contradicts their religious beliefs or pay government fines. The First Amendment exists to shield believers and their institutions from exactly this kind of brute force.
[Catholic Birth Control Fight About Healthcare, Not Just Religion.]
Constitutional prohibitions aside, the "access" argument advanced by HHS's defenders is thin. Affordable contraception is already available to the majority of Americans. In fact, the federal government already spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year funding free (or nearly free) family planning services under its Title X program. Incrementally increasing consumption rates may be a government policy objective, but that misses entirely the superseding constitutional point: Whom can the government force to pay to make it "free."
Proponents of the HHS rule argue that religious groups must provide these services—whatever their religious convictions—because they receive federal funding. Not so. It would be one thing if the mandate required religious organizations to choose between their convictions and federal funding. But this mandate is much worse: It applies with full force to every religious school, hospital, and soup kitchen, even if every single dollar of funding comes from private donations.
Advocates of better healthcare and education should think carefully through the foreseeable consequences of forcing religious groups to choose between offering what they view as morally unacceptable services or closing down because they can't afford the heavy penalties for not offering them. For Catholic Charities alone, if all of its 70,000 employees have health insurance, then not complying with the mandate would result in a $140 million fine the first year. This mandate risks eliminating a vast swath of religious charitable organizations from our country's social safety net. And if HHS enforces this mandate, many religious organizations could be forced to close and all of their employees—including their non-Catholic employees—would be out of a job. Particularly in light of our struggling economy, it should concern every American that the government is cornering religious groups into that choice.
[Obamacare Birth Control Mandate Tramples Religious Liberty.]
State governments have already recognized this risk and avoided it by permitting religious groups to opt out of various state contraceptive mandates. There is no opting out under the federal mandate, which is unquestionably broader in scope and narrower in its exemption for religious groups than all of the 28 states' comparable laws. Religious organizations in states with a mandate—even those where there is no express exemption—may opt out by simply self-insuring, dropping prescription drug coverage, or offering ERISA plans. The federal mandate permits none of these alternatives, and therefore is less protective of religious liberty, which is the central issue in this debate.

The Instructional Quality Commission (IQC), formerly called the Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission, is an advisory body to the California State Board of Education (SBE) on matters related to curriculum, instructional materials, and content standards in accordance with Education Code Section 33530-33540.
Note: Assembly Bill 250 (Chapter 608, Statutes of 2011) was signed on October 8, 2011 and takes effect on January 1, 2012. One significant change is to rename the Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission (Curriculum Commission) to the Instructional Quality Commission (IQC). Some of the first activities of the IQC will be revising curriculum frameworks and evaluation criteria aligned to the Common Core State Standards with California additions (CCSS) for mathematics and English language arts. The bill requires State Board of Education (SBE) policies to ensure that the English language arts curriculum frameworks for kindergarten through grade twelve (K-12) and instructional materials for kindergarten through grade eight (K-8) include the English language development standards and English language development strategies in the core subjects of mathematics, science, and history-social science. The bill also requires SBE policies to ensure that curriculum frameworks for K-12 and instructional materials for K-8 include strategies to address the needs of pupils with disabilities in the subjects of mathematics, science, history-social science, and English language arts.

Shoppers camp out early for deals and discounts; businesses market and mark down for positive sales numbers
ALBANY, GA -- The National Retail Federation estimates that Black Friday shopping will bring in $447 billion for 2010.
Just as Black Fridays before, consumers began lining up at stores hours before they opened.
Debbie Hinman camped out at Target starting at 6 pm Thanksgiving Day waiting for the 4 a.m. Black Friday deals. She brought along her brother-in-law, grandkids, nieces and daughter. To occupy their time the kids played soccer and Hinman crocheted.
Many shoppers eagerly awaited Target's discounts.
"We arrived at Target at 11 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. We sat in our lawn chairs and we waited and we talked to different people," says Black Friday shopper Janeen Griffin.
That wasn't her first stop: After Target, Janeen Griffin and her three cousins headed to the mall at 6 a.m.
"We've been shopping all night!" Griffin says.
People aren't just buying a few small items. On Black Friday, it's about spending big money on bulk and big ticket items.
Griffin knew exactly what she wanted when she went to Target: The 40-inch TV for $298. She bought it and says she probably saved $200 on it.
Other shoppers in line at Target on Thanksgiving Day were also after the low-priced TVs.
Griffin says she spent $500 and saved $300 because she shopped on Black Friday. But are the deals worth getting up early for?
"Black Friday: It's worth it. Just for the appliances, the technology, gadgets, those things alone," says Griffin. She says the discounts on clothes are sometimes not worth getting up early for.
Not only does Black Friday shopping benefit the customers, the stores also gain from the spike in shopping.
Black Friday kicks of the holiday sales season, which runs from November through December. These sales can account for up to 50 percent of a store's sales and profits.
"Black Friday for the businesses means an opportunity for us to be able to go from actually if you're in the red maybe to an opportunity to get into the black," says Albany Mall's JCPenney Store Manager Joseph Iles.
JCPenney's store manager also says marketing materials prior to Black Friday creates even greater competition among the various stores.
Despite shoppers and employees being up way before the sun rose, everyone seemed to be in good spirits.
"We've had a ball! We've been out since about five and we went to Home Depot first and then we came to the mall," says Black Friday shopper Linda Widner.
Griffin says people were tired but everybody was congenial and having a good time.

Lars Boilesen New Chief at Opera
Opera's CEO and founder, Jon von Tetzchner, is to take up a new strategic position in the company. New CEO will be Lars Boilesen.
Boilesen started his career as Lego's European Manager and has been at Opera for five years. His talents can be found mainly in the areas of sales and marketing. From 2000 to 2005 he was head of sales at Opera, before taking up a position at Alcatel-Lucent, responsible for Scandinavia and the Baltic states. Tetzchner brought him back in 2009 where he became Chief Commercial Officer.
Boilesen, it seems, brings no surprises with him. Referring to further development of the Opera browser he said, ''Our goal is to continue the current strategy'' His change of status at the Oslo company has trebled his personal shares options from 580,000 to 1,780,000.

By Mom of 3
from Huntington park, ca
Nice nightstand that goes well with the cars twin bed. Not too small and not too big. Fits well in my sons small bedroom. Love the idea that you can later take off the picture for when he outgrows Disney cars. Very easy to make and comes with the screwdriver and screws, no need to use your own. Would have love it even more if it had like a cabinet door under the drawer.

Ms. Walker, a licensed social worker who works full time as a drug and alcohol educator, is currently completing her requirements to earn licensing as a Clinical Social Worker. She is available to see clients here at Psych Choices on Wednesday and Thursday evenings and will soon offer weekend hours as well.
We are especially pleased that she is able to offer her services at a lower, sliding-scale rate for those without insurance, or those who cannot afford their high insurance co-pays.
Ms. Walker especially loves working with teens and young adults on issues of relationship dysfunction, parenting young children, adolescent behavior problems, and life transitions, among other issues.
Ms Walker holds a master's degree in Law and Social Policy from Bryn Mawr College (August 2011) as well as a master's in Social Work (MSW) from Widener University (2008). Her bachelor's degree in social work was earned at Temple University in 2005. She also holds certificates in Drug & Alcohol Counseling (Villanova University, 2009) and School-Based Crisis Response (2007). She is a member of the National Association of Black Social Workers and the Bryn Mawr College Black Student Alumni Association.
She states: "It is my belief that we cannot achieve our full potential based on self-reliance, it takes a cast of characters to bringing in fresh ideas and resources to achieve a goal. I am incredibly humbled every time I get to work with people on their life goals and aspirations by helping them identify the barriers and work towards solutions.
"As a licensed social worker, I have worked extensively in the field of drug and alcohol prevention, education, and counseling. I have also served as a caseworker with families at risk, providing crisis counseling and in-home counseling to help families stabilize.
"I currently work full time providing community based drug and alcohol education, while offering my services as a part time therapist at Psych Choices. My hours include late afternoons, evenings and weekends.
"Because I am still completing my training as a Clinical Social Worker, I receive ongoing clinical supervision from a very experienced psychotherapist who is a licensed clinical social worker. My supervisor is someone I can turn to collaborate with the most challenging cases, and my studies with him enhance my effectiveness as a therapist.
"At present, I am not able to accept health insurance. However, I do offer my services on an affordable sliding fee scale basis. Please contact the office for more information."
