The college grad gender gap
Category: Urban Ed Written by CNN
Why do more women than men earn college degrees? The reasons are complex, but new research suggests that money plays a big role.
FORTUNE -- The facts are plain, if puzzling: Not only do women enter college at higher rates than men, but they're less likely to drop out once they get there. Female grads now account for about 60% of U.S. bachelor's degree holders.
Does that mean men are less studious or committed than women are?
Not necessarily. Instead, it seems the gender gap's roots are partly financial: Men are less willing to take on the heavy debt loads that are increasingly required to complete a college degree. When they reach the point of owing $12,500 in school loans, men "are more likely to be discouraged" than women -- and to decide it makes sense to leave school and start working full-time.
That's according to a new study, "Gender, Debt, and Dropping Out of College," published in a recent issue of the journal Gender & Society. The researchers, three professors from Ohio State University and Pacific Lutheran University, analyzed data from a national longitudinal study of youth from 1997 to 2011, funded by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that included interviews with about 9,000 men and women in their 20s.
It turns out that persistent wage gaps in the labor market play a big part in motivating women to finish school. In the short term, men who drop out face no financial penalty in their entry-level salaries. Women, on the other hand, pay a steep price right away for dropping out, since female dropouts earn entry-level pay that averages $6,500 a year lower than what their male counterparts earn.
"Female dropouts simply face worse job prospects," the authors observe. "They are more likely to be employed in lower-paying service work, while men who drop out have more opportunities in higher-paying jobs in manufacturing, construction, and transportation."
True, but parents of college-age kids may want to emphasize one further finding: Male dropouts' earnings advantages are short-lived. While men who leave college before graduating "don't face a wage penalty early on, the penalty accumulates later," the study notes. "By middle age, men with a college degree earn $20,000 a year more, on average, than men with some college but no degree."
An unwillingness to pile on debt when they could be making money may explain why more men quit school, but what accounts for the fact that fewer men start college in the first place? In a new book called The Rise of Women: The Growing Gender Gap in Education and What It Means for American Schools, Thomas A. DiPrete and Claudia Buchmann, sociology professors at Columbia and Ohio State, respectively, tackle that thorny question -- and come up with answers that challenge conventional wisdom.
Boys get lower grades than girls, and report liking school less, not because girls are naturally more studious or because schools aren't "boy-friendly" enough, they write. Rather, "our research shows that boys' underperformance in school has more to do with society's norms about masculinity … Boys involved in extracurricular cultural activities such as music, art, drama, and foreign languages report higher levels of school engagement and get better grades than other boys. But these activities are often denigrated as un-masculine."
DiPrete and Buchmann believe schools need to do better in two main areas. First, "the most important predictor of boys' achievement is the extent to which the school culture expects and rewards academic effort," they write. "We need schools that set high expectations [and] treat each student as an individual, as opposed to a gender stereotype."
Second, the authors write, their research shows that "boys have less understanding than girls about how their future success in college and work is directly linked to their academic effort in middle school and high school." Making that connection clear, they argue, could go a long way toward closing the gender gap in higher education.

Digital classrooms: The future of education
Category: Urban Ed Written by Britney Spear, Regional Content Editor
We live in a digital world. As technology continues to expand, industries are faced with the task of making the most of innovation to meet their goals. Education is no different.
The challenge to provide students with an engaging, effective learning experience is one that institutions across the country continuously face. Oversized classrooms and limited resources make that challenge even more difficult in a steadily growing population. Schools must carefully balance novel ideas with foundational aspects of learning.
A new direction is gaining more attention as institutions aim at meeting the demands of a new educational climate.
Will classrooms of the future be completely different from what they are now?
Bill Gates recently announced a push for education that caters to the individual. It involves making classrooms digital, where students learn remotely. The big question rests on whether being physically present is a necessity to the educational experience. Gates says "no". He believes that the days of overcrowded lecture halls will soon be a thing of the past. The Microsoft Chairman envisions a college classroom of the future in which students watch lectures online, given by the brightest minds in their fields.
Cost-effectiveness is a central aspect of education. Administrators have become increasingly concerned with making the most of each dollar while providing a quality learning experience for students. Eliminating the need for a physical presence in the classroom means allocating resources differently. Institutions will gather material from a multitude of sources, and ones that are not just limited to professional educators. Borrowing from the outside world of professionals who work in fields of choice might mean a more diversified learning experience. It will give students a "real world" taste of the industries they seek to work in. Less professors might also mean more resources allocated to study groups and labs.
Bill Gates' vision of the classroom of the future is an innovative approach to an industry on the cusp of rapid transformation. As the keynote speaker at this year's South by Southwest conference, the technology titan called attention to critical challenges that plague our nation's education system. Gates' proposed solutions center around the theme of personalized learning, a concept he feels can be enhanced by new technology.
Gates employed well-recognized figures from pop culture to illustrate the importance of personalized learning. Displaying a picture of Star Wars' Luke Skywalker crouched next to Jedi-Master Yoda, he referenced the mentor's brilliance for his ability to tell when his pupil was no longer "interested" in the lesson. It is a figurative image that comes from the mind of George Lucas, yet it resonates loud and clear with Gates' real life vision of the direction of education.
Gates described a new software currently in development that gives students the opportunity to learn at their own pace and based on their individual needs. Some students require special attention and must return to certain concepts to understand. The new software would give students a chance to engage with material, helping them absorb information based on strategies unique to their learning style.
Gates' latest concept is one that he strongly believes in and aims to bring to life. His Foundation recently announced a $100 million investment in startup inBloom, a service designed to help teachers tailor their lesson plans to the individual needs of students.
Important questions arise with the prospect of a completely digitized learning environment. People are undoubtedly split as to which aspects of the traditional classroom experience must be preserved.
The primary mission of our institutions is to provide students with a quality education. Will moving toward a system completely reliant on technology be the key to accomplishing that end?

Tax tips for college students to avoid mistakes
Category: Urban Ed Written by Emily Driscoll, FOXBusiness
College students might be facing a deadline not imposed by their professors, but by Uncle Sam: April 15, tax day.
Students risk losing money if they choose not to file an income tax return and could be leaving money on the table in the form of deductions and write offs. Filling out and filing tax forms can be complicated and mistakes can be costly to a student's bank account.
Many students will be filing for the first time and it can be difficult to know exactly what to include on a return, particularly if students earn only a small amount of income through a summer or part time job while in school, warns Margaret Munro, author and tax consultant.

Top Winners List: Stillman College's Lawrence Brown, Ketrina Childs of Bethune-Cookman, Nandi Stewart from Spelman College And Talladega College's Alexis Tardy
ATLANTA (February 27, 2013) - Students from the nation's leading historically black colleges clashed in a battle of wits at the 7th Annual Ford Black College Quiz Show. This year's winners shared over $25K in cash prizes, and earned 12-months of bragging rights for their respective schools. Host RonReaco Lee (BET's "Let's Stay Together") awarded championship medals and cold hard cash to the student participants in the "Jeopardy-style" nationally televised challenge.
"Participating in this year's Ford Black College Quiz has been one of the most rewarding experiences in my career to date," said Lee. "Being able to interact with the students and witness first hand their enthusiasm, competitive nature and sheer brain power is something I know I'll never forget!"
Produced by Central City Productions, in the show's seventh season the format was tweaked slightly to allow each participant an opportunity to win cash prizes based on their ranking after four rounds of competitive play. The first-place winners, Stillman College's Lawrence Brown, Bethune-Cookman student Ketrina Childs, Spelman College's Nandi Stewart, and Alexis Tardy from Talladega College received a prize of $5,000 to further their studies. Second-place winners, Artis Collins III of Paine College, Rust College's Noah Moore, Leroy Myers Jr. of University of Maryland Eastern Shore, and Coppin State University's Tanisha Smith were awarded $1000 scholarships. $500 was given to third place prize recipients Claflin State University's Brandon Britt, Ryan Brookens of Hampton University, Central State University's Karon Jones, and Terri Simon-Coleman of Southern University at New Orleans.
"I am extremely excited about our new format for the 2013 Ford Black College Quiz series, which increased our student scholarship monies to over $25,000 - the highest ever over the 7 years of the program series," said Don Jackson, executive producer and Central City Productions CEO. "Also, the new format provided an opportunity for us to have four first place winners, rather than just one grand prize winner at the end of our 4-part series. This added another dimension of excitement and competition for all of the participating students."
The Ford Black College Quiz Show featured 12 gifted students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) skillfully displaying their knowledge of notable African-American facts. Over the course of four half-hour episodes BCQ competitors, three participants per show, earned financial scholarships for their involvement, which is a change from previous years. The top performers received $5,000 scholarships while the second and third place finishers took home $1,000 and $500 each respectively.
The series airs in syndication in various markets around the country now through March 3, 2013. For local airdate information, please visit www.blackcollegequiz.com where the most recent list of airdates will be posted as they become available. Viewers can also consult local TV listings to get programming information for their area.

Risk assessment
Expected return to moderate growth
After several years of recession or stagnation, growth is expected to pick up somewhat in 2013. It will be sustained by an accommodative fiscal policy, while public investment in infrastructures, especially in the defective transport system, as well as education, health and sanitation spending will again increase. Hit by maintenance stoppages and security reasons in 2012, the energy sector (hydrocarbons, refining, gas chemistry), which represents 45% of GDP, will rally, as will construction, which suffered from a prolonged strike at the archipelago's one and only cement producer and supplier. By contrast, tourism, concentrated on the island of Tobago, the source of 10% of GDP and 15% of jobs, will remain limited. Finally, despite subsidies, particularly for petrol, and significant social transfers, as well as unemployment down to 5%, household spending will still be depressed.
Strong demands on public revenues, but comfortable external situation
The widening public deficit will go hand in hand with the accommodative fiscal policy. The balance would be even more negative were it not for the expected increase in contributions from the energy sector (50% of total revenues) thanks to renewed strong performance and rising gas prices. Public debt, which represented 60% of GDP in 2000, before falling to 20% in 2007 has climbed back to 39%. But the portion held by foreign creditors is limited to 6%.
The current account surplus is expected to stabilise at 7% of GDP. The rising food bill is likely to be offset by increased income from export of gas and chemical products. Hydrocarbons, chiefly natural gas, as well as ammoniac, methanol and urea resulting from the transformation of gas, make up 83% of exports and provide conditions for maintaining the surplus, enabling the Central Bank to set aside $10 billion, or 14 months of imports. This is more than enough to ensure the pegging of the Trinidad and Tobago dollar to the American dollar at a rate of 6.4:1. However, the competitiveness of traditional exports is suffering from this peg, which is equivalent to an appreciation of the currency, given that local inflation is higher than that observed for the main trading partners.
Hydrocarbons: paramount but ossified
Dependence on hydrocarbons is huge. As well as the budget and exports, local natural gas production fuels the electric power stations while petroleum production sustains the refining plants. It happens that because of weak domestic and foreign investment in exploration and exploitation, proven oil reserves have fallen considerably and production has stagnated. Petroleum represents only one tenth of total hydrocarbon production, which makes it necessary to import crude to meet domestic and refining capacity needs. Gas reserves will last for about a decade at the current pace of extraction. Failing increased investment, gas production, which grew strongly until 2006 before stabilising, could now fall. The authorities are projecting an increase in the gas price but will have to reckon with the expansion of North American shale gas. Whereas in 2004, all gas was purchased by the United States, now American imports have stopped. If the available gas could be directed to other parts of the world where prices are higher than on the American market, the export of North American gas could make a difference.
Political will to kick start the economy
Kamla Persad Bissessar's government, in power since May 2010, is seeking to reinvigorate the energy sector while fighting criminality. The government has introduced fiscal incentives aimed at attracting investment in exploration as well as exploitation, but also downstream to diversify chemical production. Finally, it has a sovereign fund, the Heritage and Stabilization Fund, for saving and investing some of the revenues drawn from the energy sector in order to mitigate any falls in price and a drop in production. However, due to the current budget deficit, deposits in the fund are reliant on additional public borrowing. The governing People's Partnership (PP) coalition is facing internal dissent but this should not undermine its majority in the Chamber of Representatives over the opposition People's National Movement (PNM). The next opportunity to go to the polls will be the election of the local House of Tobago, traditionally controlled by the PNM, where the PP is contesting the legality of two key contracts concluded recently by the majority PNM with private stakeholders.

As Beijing touts a high-profile crackdown on corruption, experts say it should look south to Hong Kong as an example of a Chinese territory that has succeeded in cutting out the rot.
Four decades ago, Hong Kong was one of the most corrupt cities in the world, according to anti-corruption organization Transparency International.
"I would compare Hong Kong [in the 1970s] to Argentina today," said Ran Liao, the group's senior program coordinator.
Transparency International has only been publishing its Corruption Perceptions Index since 1995 but, had data on Hong Kong been available at the time, Liao said it would have rated at a similar levels not only to Argentina, but Gabon and Tanzania.
According to its latest Corruption Perceptions Index, all three countries score a lowly 35 out of 100, on a sliding scale from 0 ("highly corrupt") to 100 ("very clean.")
Hong Kong, meanwhile, earns 77 out of 100, placing it at number 14 of 176 countries; meaning it's perceived as slightly more corrupt than Germany (13) but less corrupt than the United Kingdom (17) and the United States (19).
How did Hong Kong clean up its act?
Change came to the former British colony following mass street protests after Peter Godber, the then police superintendent, fled the territory while being investigated for alleged corruption.
The outcry led to the formation of the Independent Commission Against Corruption, a government body with wide investigative powers. But the changes weren't only aimed at officials.
"They adopted a three-pronged approach, that means punishment, education and prevention," Liao said.
The education starts at local kindergartens, where characters created by ICAC present children with ethical dilemmas and stories where the honest one always wins.
"We don't teach them about the laws but we teach them about the values," said Monica Yu, executive director of the Hong Kong Ethics Development Centre, an ICAC division.
Hong Kongers 'will never tolerate corruption'
Two generations after adopting this approach against skirting the rules, Yu says there's evidence of a major cultural shift in the attitude of the local Chinese population.
"We measure the tolerance level of the people to corruption, from a scale of zero to 10. Zero means total intolerance and 10 means total tolerance. For the last decade or so, the average was 0.8, 0.7 or so," Yu said.
And this drew Yu to the following conclusion: "Nowadays in Hong Kong, people will never tolerate corruption."
She says the lack of tolerance for rule-breaking reinforces ethical behavior, both in private and public spheres, as violators are named and shamed by their peers.
"Very often people would come forward to ICAC to report corruption, whenever they suspected there was a case. That's a big difference compared with before the ICAC was set up," Yu said.
Liao agreed.
"Before the ICAC there was nobody to think about such a comprehensive way to fight against corruption," he said. When jail is the only remedy for corruption it shows there's another problem: there's no real fight against it.
"Punishment means you have committed the misconduct," Liao said. "Prevention is very important, [the ICAC] talks to different sectors, for example, the banking and the construction sectors."
The ICAC publishes guidelines for business and tries to identify operations with high potential risks. The institution also organizes events to talk about these issues and push the prevention agenda in the business and government sectors.
In that process, employees are told how and to whom to report suspected wrongdoing.
How corrupt is China?
The distaste for corruption in Hong Kong contrasts with the situation in China, which ranks just below Sri Lanka in the Corruption Perception Index -- sharing 80th place with Serbia and Trinidad and Tobago in the ranking of 176 countries.

Generic Drugs offers less price then the brand named drugs. So it will be benefit for the patient as there would be cheap generic drugs. Take for instance Generic Viagra is much more cheaper than the authentic brand Viagra like kamagra jelly.
Generics discounts ignite Medicare Rx competition
Just when you thought the low end of the generic drug price spectrum couldn't get any more commoditized, the $2 price point debuted with a big splash in September 2010.
Walmart stores tossed the rock that made the splash when it partnered with insurance giant Humana to launch a new, steeply discounted Medicare Part D drug coverage plan for 2011. Four months after both companies announced the venture, the ripple effects are still washing over retail pharmacy. But its long-term impact — namely, its ability to wrest a big chunk of the huge prescription drug market for seniors away from Walmart's competitors and move it to Bentonville, Ark. — remains to be seen.
The strategy behind the launch of the Humana Walmart-Preferred Rx Plan is almost stunning in its simplicity and its boldness. For a cut-rate monthly plan premium of $14.80, Medicare beneficiaries in all 50 states can gain access to basic Part D drug coverage costing less than half the average national monthly premium set by prescription drug plans serving Part D, according to Walmart and Humana. But the real market-moving potential comes from the plan's ability to lure Medicare beneficiaries to Walmart's own stores.
To wit: The Preferred Rx Plan gives favored status to seniors who fill the Part D prescriptions at Walmart stores' own pharmacies. Medicare beneficiaries who enrolled in the plan get low co-payments when they fill their prescriptions at a Walmart, Neighborhood Market or Sam's Club pharmacy, with in-store co-payments that start as low as $2 for generic prescriptions at the company's own pharmacies.
In effect, the plan cuts in half the out-of-pocket costs many Americans pay for widely dispensed, multisource medicines.
"This new co-branded prescription drug plan," the two companies asserted, "can save a typical Medicare Part D beneficiary who enrolls in the Humana Walmart-Preferred Rx Plan an estimated average of more than $450 in 2011 on plan premiums, prescription medication co-payments and cost-shares, when compared with the average total costs for a Part D prescription drug plan in 2010."
It wasn't long before Walmart's competitors jumped into the $2 generic co-pay contest. In late November, Kroger and Safeway became the first big pharmacy operators to respond, announcing a new, low-price plan for Medicare beneficiaries, in partnership with UnitedHealth Group. Like Walmart/Humana, the plan is a game-changer.
Called Pharmacy Saver, the new program is a collaboration among Kroger, Safeway and United's Prescription Solutions affiliate. It will allow members to purchase some generic scripts for $2 for 30-day and some 90-day supplies. It applies to hundreds of prescription drugs, including 8-of-the-10 generics most commonly used by UnitedHealthcare Medicare plan members.
Within a few weeks of that announcement, Target, H-E-B, Hy-Vee, Publix Super Markets, Food Lion, Bloom, Harveys and Sweetbay Supermarket all joined the insurance company's Pharmacy Saver program, in time for the plan's launch at the beginning of this year.
For millions of seniors, that means that the new price expectation for hundreds of commonly used generics is two bucks for a 30-day supply. For the nation's pharmacy retailers, it means that the competition for the low end of the generic prescription market is tougher than ever.
Of course, generic drugs cost
Of course, generic drugs cost less than their branded, also called "innovator" counterparts, and with the skyrocketing costs of healthcare, choosing generic drugs may be one way to keep costs lower. However, not all innovator drugs have a generic version. Those that were recently introduced are probably still patented; therefore a generic does not exist. To get the benefits of those drugs, you'll need to use the branded versions. I personally used to buy branded medicines only.But, of course, the best way to be sure you are getting exactly the drug you need, branded or generic, is to consult with your doctor.
Nicolas from http://cashadvancesus.com/
Politicians have always
Politicians have always batted around how Medicare payments are determined. There are presently 441 geographic payment areas for hospitals that pay on the basis of average costs in the area. In 2013, the program will give increased payments to hospitals rated as higher quality institutions. Hospitals might need short-term loans if they don't have good enough quality. An addition to that, hospitals that are not top- performing may have their Medicare funding cut. I can see that this will be another burden to patients especially those who can't afford services from the said hospitals.
In these challenging economic
In these challenging economic times, we believe our new Part D plan brings great value to beneficiary and the Medicare program by established broad access to prescriptions through the most recognized names in the pharmacy business, low monthly premiums, and no deductible, all of which are important to seniors,stated Nancy Cocozza, SVP Medicare at Coventry Health Care.
Jim, Retail pharmacies are
Retail pharmacies are learning that generic drugs turn pharmaceutical channel economics upside down. The costs of distributing and dispensing a traditional (non-specialty) generic drug far exceed the actual cost of the medicine, which is the opposite of brand-name drugs. Thus, the generic market is starting to look like a cash-pay consumer product instead of a brand-name pharmacuetical.
FYI, I wrote about the economics of the new plan in "Walmart-Humana: An Inevitable Surprise for Pharmacies and PBMs" (http://www.drugchannels.net/2010/10/walmart-humana-inevitable-surprise-f...).

Fame - DVD
Fame is set at New York's High School of Performing Arts, where talented teens train for show-business careers. The film concentrates on five of the most gifted students: singer Irene Cara, actors Paul McCrane and Barry Miller, dancer Gene Anthony Ray, and musician Lee Currieri. More so than the subsequent TV series Fame, the film emphasizes the importance of keeping up one's academic achievements in this specialized school. The faculty includes no-nonsense English teacher Ann Meara, erudite musical instructor Albert Hague, and martinet dance teacher Debbie Allen. Of the film's cast, Ray, Currieri, Allen and Hague were carried over to the TV version of Fame, which premiered in 1981. The score for the film version of Fame was honored with an Academy Award. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Where the Day Takes You - DVD
Marc Rocco's gritty drama Where the Day Takes You stars Dermot Mulroney as King, a street-smart hustler who acts as a father figure to a motley collection of young runaways. Among the people in his sphere are the young self-destructive drug addict Greg (Sean Astin), self-hating gay prostitute Little J (Balthazar Getty), and newcomer Heather (Lara Flynn Boyle). The film is structured as a series of flashbacks triggered by King's conversations with a prison psychologist (Laura San Giacomo). Included in the impressive cast are such soon-to-be-famous names as Will Smith and Ricki Lake, and the already established Kyle MacLachlan, Christian Slater, and Alyssa Milano. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
Tales From the Darkside - The Movie - DVD
This feature-length spin-off of the popular television horror anthology is directed by John Harrison, who directed many episodes of the television series. The film consists of four grisly and gruesome horror teasers. "The Wraparound Story" stars Deborah Harry as Betty, a chef with a kitchen complete with Cuisinart and dungeon. She plans to cook a little boy, who delays his execution by telling Betty three tales of terror. The first tale is "Lot 249," based on the mummy story by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The tale concerns Bellingham (Steve Buscemi), a bug-eyed graduate student who has raised a mummy from the dead. The second tale, "Cat from Hell," adapted by George A. Romero from a Stephen King story, deals with a broken-down millionaire (William Hickey), who has made his millions by developing habit-forming painkillers. He is convinced that, since 5,000 cats have been killed in his lab experiments in order to develop his pills, a stray cat has killed his family. He hires a hit man (David Johansen) to track down the cat and rub him out. The third tale, "Lover's Vow," is based on "Woman in the Snow," one of the episodes in Kwaidan.James Remar plays an artist who strikes a deal with the devil and is rewarded with a beautiful wife (Rae Dawn Chong) and a respectful art career. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide
Full Grown Men - DVD
The youthful delusions of a wistful husband and father prompt him to seek out a childhood friend and embark on a soul-searching journey of self discovery to the one place where no adult demands will be made of him in director David Munro's surreal second coming-of-age comedy. Alby (Matt McGrath) is having an early midlife crisis. Convinced that the only way to overcome his current malaise is to seek out his childhood pal Elias (Judah Friedlander) and set out on the open road, Alby leaves behind his wife and son in hopes of recapturing the glory of his youth. Unfortunately for Alby, Elias is all grown up now, and isn't exactly overjoyed to see the "best friend" whose rosy vision of childhood largely came from the fact that he made Elias the unwitting butt of his every joke. When Alby learns that Elias is taking a group of disabled drama students on a trip to the local amusement park, Elias has no choice but to let his pushy pal come along for the ride. What follows is a pensively hilarious look life as seen through the eyes of a man who can't seem to move past his youth, and the effect that a student-clown bartender (Amy Sedaris), a disgruntled former amusement park employee (Alan Cumming), a retired water-park mermaid (Debbie Harry), and a whole host of colorful characters have in helping Alby to bridge the gap between the glory days of his past and an uncertain future. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
These Old Broads - DVD
Four of Tinseltown's greatest glamour queens came together for this tartly comic made-for-TV movie which pokes gentle (and not so gentle) fun at their histories and reputations. Kate Westburn (Shirley MacLaine), Addie Holden (Joan Collins), and Piper Grayson (Debbie Reynolds) are three legendary Hollywood stars who in their heyday were known to audiences for their beauty, charm, and musical talent -- and, within the movie industry, for their short tempers and industrial-strength egos. The three stars only worked together once, on a musical made in the early '60s called Boy Crazy, but when the film becomes a cult sensation in a late-'90s re-release, Gavin (Nestor Carbonell), a network television executive desperate for a hit, gets the idea of staging a reunion special starring the three divas. However, there's a hitch -- the three women can barely stand each other, and while they share the same agent, Beryl Mason (Elizabeth Taylor), Beryl and Piper haven't gotten along since Piper's husband left her to marry Beryl. But Gavin is determined to make the project work, and hires Kate's son Wesley (Jonathan Silverman) to work with Beryl to pull things together. Against all odds, the three stars agree to do the special, but while there's no small amount of cat-fighting behind the scenes, in front of the camera the ladies discover time has not been kind to all of them. These Old Broads was written and executive-produced by Carrie Fisher and Elaine Pope; Fisher, of course, is the daughter of Debbie Reynolds, whose husband Eddie Fisher had an affair with Elizabeth Taylor (Fisher later married Taylor after he divorced Reynolds), and Fisher wrote a character based on her mother for the novel (and subsequent movie) Postcards From the Edge, which was played onscreen by Shirley MacLaine. No word on where Joan Collins fit into this formula. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

She will also remain executive producer of the weekday talk show.
The 83-year-old Walters said, "I am very happy with my decision and look forward to a wonderful and special year ahead. I do not want to appear on another program or climb another mountain.

"Scary Movie 5" might just be the most terrifying film in the spoof franchise's 12 years.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan have signed on to play what production company Dimension Films is touting as "the world's hottest new couple."
Of course, this isn't Sheen's first rodeo "Scary Movie." The "Anger Management" actor played Tom in "Scary Movie 3," making a brief appearance in the fourth film, as well.
There's a chance the pair will follow in the footsteps of celebrities like Pamela Anderson and Shaquille O'Neal, whose characters were killed off early on in "Scary Movie 3" and "Scary Movie 4," respectively.
Ashley Tisdale is set to star in "Scary Movie 5," which will reportedly begin filming in September. The flick is expected to bow on April 19, 2013.

Hazen Union High wins frog dissection software from PETA
HARDWICK — Biology class may never be the same.
Students at Hazen Union School in Hardwick will be saving the lives of a few amphibians this semester as they learn about anatomy with a dissection simulator.
The software, Digital Frog 2.5, was the prize awarded to Hazen Union by the education arm of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals after science teacher Teal Church submitted the winning essay in a contest explaining why the school deserved the new tool. The students started using it this month.
According to PETA, the tool allows students to "cut" tissue by using a digital scalpel to explore the animal's anatomy. And unlike dead frogs that have been dissected the old-fashioned way — with knives — PETA says the software teaches students about how frogs' living bodies work and about their natural habitats.
"We're delighted to help Ms. Church and Hazen Union take the lead in teaching biology with humane, modern methods," said PETA's senior vice president of laboratory investigations, Kathy Guillermo, in a news release.MORE IN This Just InMore debate over new town office/gym.

The City of Des Moines Park and Recreation Department has been awarded a Resource Enhancement and Protection – Conservation Education Program (REAP/CEP) grant to create rain garden toolkits that will help homeowners, businesses, parks, and other groups get started on creating their own rain gardens.
The goals of the project are as follows:
To educate Iowans working with school grounds, businesses, city parks, and private residences about the benefits of rain gardens
To inform Iowans of the resources available for the installation of rain gardens at businesses, school grounds, city parks, and private residences
To increase the number of rain gardens planted at businesses, school grounds, city parks, and private residences throughout the state of Iowa
To reduce nonpoint source pollution of Iowa's waterways
To build partnerships between organizations in the Greater Des Moines area that deal with water and water quality
We are currently in the process of designing the toolkits and creating educational materials, and they will be made available to the public as soon as they are completed. For more general information and other resources on rain gardens click here.
The Park and Recreation Department has a goal to expand its conservation efforts through Gray's Lake programming and education that will provide the public with the resources to further their enjoyment of outdoor experiences and knowledge tools to implement their own practices. The Park serves as a classroom for these efforts through bird watching, nature walks, nature art programs, fishing clinics, plant and wildlife classes, etc.
In January 2004, the Park and Recreation Department began assessing opportunities for native landscaping in our park system. The Urban Prairie Project marked the beginning of an effort to integrate small pockets of native prairie into the landscape of several Des Moines parks, schools, and community green spaces. These Urban Prairies will serve as both educational resources and spaces for repose and relaxation.
Native plants are also being added to the park system in the form of rain gardens, garden-like plantings designed specifically to soak up storm water and reduce run-off. Rain gardens like those found in the city park system can be used in homes, businesses, and schools to help reduce storm water run-off and water pollution in Iowa.
To guide these efforts, the Park and Recreation Department has assembled an Urban Conservation Advisory Committee to the Park Board. The mission of this committee is to promote a park management philosophy that is holistic and ecologically based through policies that direct the planning, design and maintenance of healthy green space in the City of Des Moines toward protection and enhancement of the natural environment.
These changes mark an exciting movement toward a more environmentally friendly Park and Recreation Department. Come out and get involved!
The City of Des Moines's urban forest is a significant public asset. Understanding its value and managing it in a manner consistent with other assets is critical to good stewardship.

Connection You with Nature in the City
Reconnect with nature and your family! Restore yourself and refocus your children by getting outside to enjoy the great outdoors. Studies have shown that children are smarter, more cooperative, happier and healthier when they have frequent and varied chances to play in the out-of-doors. That's why the Park and Recreation Department offers educational programs for every age and every season. Next time you're at Gray's Lake, or many of your other city parks, keep your eyes open for new interpretive signage. These signs help visitors to the city parks view and understand natural land management strategies, as well as different aspects of park and lake ecology. In the future, you may be able to access interpretive information with your mobile phone through a podcast while on a park walking tour.
Of course, educational programs reach far beyond signs. Thanks to ongoing partnerships with Polk County Conservation and the Department of Natural Resources, the Park and Recreation Department continues to offer popular nature story hours, intriguing pond exploration, creepy insect investigations, informative bird programs and more.
Additional outdoor programs sponsored by the Parks and Recreation Department also include canoe classes and trips, a camping night at Gray's Lake, eco-art, nature-based scavenger hunts, and a "how-to" on gardening with native plants. Visit Parks throughout the year to see what's coming up in your neighborhood that would interest you, your friends, and your family.

I am a 65 year old male bodybuilder looking for information. ED started 8 years ago. Viagra and others medicines seem to help when first used 8 years ago, now its not doing the job. I have seen several urologist since my ED started. I'm not sure what lab test where ordered and don't have the results. It seem as if the urologist was writing scripts for Viagra, etc, and was not interested in finding any reasons for my problems. Recently, My Libido has fallen greatly, so I decided to change urologist. He performed a complete physical and included a urine test and blood test. My doctor told me that my free testosterone is low and that he will retest me in 3 months. He did not explain how low my testosterone was or what would be done if my SHBG remains high or if it returned to normal. The only other out of range test was my Total Protein, it was 6.2 with a reference range of (6-4 to 8.9). Here are the results of my blood test:
Testosterone 468 Range 129-767
SHBG 68.7 Range 10-57
Estradiol 26 Range <=56
Any information that you can supply, would be greatly appreciated. Also, is my SHBG high enough to cause my problems?

Man charged following robbery in Rochester
Officers responded at 5:47 p.m. after Jerrell Luther, 34, of 17 Winter St., allegedly used physical force to take an undisclosed amount of cash from an unnamed man near School Street.
No weapons were used and the victim suffered only minor abrasions, according to police.
Police issued an alert for the man and a green Chevy Blazer used to flee the scene. The vehicle was later spotted along South Main Street by a N.H. State Trooper, who contacted police. As a result, Luther was charged with robbery. He is being held at Strafford County jail in Dover on a probation violation.
Robbery is a Class B felony, which could result in up to 3½ to 7 years in prison, if convicted.
Luther is scheduled to be arraigned in 7th Circuit Court in Rochester Friday at 11 a.m.

Report Says Administration Faces Hard Choices For Veterans Programs
- 11-16-2012
WASHINGTON—The country faces "an array of hard choices" in how to best uphold its promise to the veterans and military community, a recently released report suggested.
"Now that President Obama has been re-elected, his new administration will need to tackle crisis issues like military suicides, and longer-term challenges such as maintaining public support for veterans programs after the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are over. These choices will be made more difficult by significant downward pressure on spending, requiring the administration to make hard choices with profound implications for the men and women who serve us in uniform, and those who came before them, as well as for our national security," the report stated.
The report, released by the Center for a New American Security, states that in order for the Administration to better serve troops and veterans it should prioritize three areas.
The first area includes military suicides, combat stress, veteran homelessness and veteran unemployment. The second area is reversing the VA claims backlog and improving access to DoD and VA benefits and services. Thirdly, the report states that the administration must do these things "in a different political and operational environment, with the wars receding from public consciousness."
"Admiral Michael Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has spoken frequently and eloquently about the civilian "sea of goodwill" towards the veterans and military community. However, as the wars fade, the potential exists for this sea to become an ocean of apathy," the report states.
In order to maintain attention on issues facing the veterans and military community, the report states that the president "must continue to exercise personal leadership on these issues, emphasizing the nation's obligation to serve its veterans as well as they have served us. And the second Obama administration must build an enduring policy community and infrastructure to support the veterans and military community over the next four years and beyond."
The report, Uphold the Promise: Supporting Veterans and Military Personnel in the Next Four Years, was authored by Philip Carter, a non-resident senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security and the chief operating officer and General Counsel for Caerus Associates.
