The most famous resident of this central Florida city is Mickey
Mouse, the cartoon creation of animated movie tycoon, Walt Disney,
whose vision has turned Orlando, and the adjacent Lake Buena Vista
and Kissimee areas, into the world's busiest, biggest and
best-known concentrated tourist Mecca. Disney bought up land in the
area with the aim of establishing his dream theme park back in the
1960s. He died before the first park, the Magic Kingdom, officially
opened in 1971, but his legacy has taken root and is still growing.
Currently the Disney empire in Orlando includes four theme parks,
dozens of smaller attractions, thousands of hotel rooms and holiday
apartments, hundreds of restaurants and snack bars and even two
cruise ships.
It is not only the Disney dazzle that draws visitors to Orlando.
There are other attractions here too, like Universal Studios and
Sea World, all adding to the maelstrom of thrills and pleasure
palaces that this city is now renowned for. Just a trip down
attraction-rich International Drive is a mind-boggling

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
March 29, 2011 Illegal Curve What's Tomas Vokoun Worth?
by Richard Pollock
Displaying pretext
The recent signings of Antti Niemi, Jimmy Howard and Craig Anderson were of interest to many hockey observers. You could argue these goalies have similar talent levels, and yet each player received a different contract.
Most analysts would agree that Tomas Vokoun is a better netminder than any of the three aforementioned names. Coincidentally, Vokoun is also a pending UFA, as the three above goaltenders were when they signed their three respective contracts.
The two biggest distinctions between Vokoun and Niemi/Howard/Anderson are age and productivity. Vokoun, unlike the other three, is over 30 years old (34 in fact). Yet in terms of productivity, Vokoun has been amongst the top goaltenders statistically for the past half decadewe will examine these numbers in depth in a few paragraphs.
Before we examine what Vokoun could be worth, let's first examine which teams will likely have a need in between the pipes entering the summer. For simplicity's sake, I am not including teams that may have a need (see: Edmonton, Columbus and New York Islanders) but have already locked up big money in their current netminding situation (Khabibulin, Mason and DiPietro). That arguably leaves only seven teams that have a goaltending need heading into the offseason: Colorado, Phoenix, Chicago, Philadelphia, Toronto, Florida and Tampa Bay.

It would be interesting to see both of Florida's goaltenders wind up in Colorado only two years apart from each other.
Sherman didn't need to spend big money to bring Anderson over, so it will be interesting to see if he loosens the purse strings to bring in Vokoun, who has a much better track record.

10.00 | St Albans Christmas Market |

The Cathedral is open all year round.
08.30 - 17.45
Please check our
Service & Music list for full details as special services occasionally interrupt our usual pattern of worship.
This is the oldest site of continuous Christian worship in Britain. It stands over the place where Alban, the first martyr, was buried after giving his life for his faith over 1700 years ago - more than 200 years before St Augustine arrived in Canterbury.
The building's amazing mixture of architectural styles bears witness to the many centuries of its life, first as a monastic Abbey and now as a Cathedral. Down all those centuries countless pilgrims have come to honour the saint's sacrifice and offer their prayers at his shrine - and they still come in their thousands today.
This website introduces you to Alban and his home, and gives you a glimpse of the Cathedral's busy life. Those of us who love the place want more people to know about it, and to experience its unique atmosphere and beauty for themselves.
We hope you will want to know more at first hand. If you have not yet visited St Albans, come soon; and if you have, come again! The rule of the Benedictine monks who built the Abbey was that each stranger must be treated as Christ himself, and we try to keep their tradition of hospitality alive. We warmly look forward to welcoming you.

Study: More Young and Middle-Aged Adults Suffering From Strokes
More young people today suffer from strokes than in the 1990s, according to a study published yesterday in the journal Neurology. In 1993 and 1994, researchers found that people ages 20 to 54 accounted for nearly 13 percent of stroke victims, whereas in 2005, that figure jumped to about 19 percent, reports HealthDay. As a result, the average age for a stroke to occur decreased to 69—as opppsed to 71 in the mid-1990s. Researchers analyzed the statistics of first-time stroke patients in the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky region—home to more than a million men and women, Health Day reports, and took stroke snapshots in 1993 and 1994, and again in 1999 and 2005. The conclusion was that young and middle-aged adults, regardless of race, account for a surprising number of strokes. "What [the study] means is that even though young people typically feel like they're healthy and that a stroke can't happen to them, the fact is that our study is evidence that that is not true," Brett Kissela, the study's lead author and a University of Cincinnati College of Medicine professor of neurology, told HealthDay. A rise in stroke risk factors such as diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol, as well as improved diagnosis may contribute to this trend, Kissela told NBC.
Take Action for Heart Health
Our 21st century lifestyle is bumping up our risk of heart disease. The convenience of cars and fast food, coupled with high-stress jobs, too little sleep, and a floundering economy is creating a toxic environment for our heart health. "Over the last couple of decades, the risk for cardiovascular disease has decreased, but now we may be reaching an inflection point, where the risks will climb again if we fail to manage how we live," says Marc Gillinov, a cardiovascular surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic and coauthor of Heart 411: The Only Guide to Heart Health You'll Ever Need (Three Rivers Press, 2012).
We can't take this vital organ for granted, as no one is immune to heart disease. But heart disease is largely preventable, notes Gillinov. New studies are shining light on a few surprising risk factors, while offering fresh insight on how to keep your heart ticking for many years. Consider:
1. Cultivate a positive attitude: It does the heart good. The mind-body connection is being increasingly recognized as important to a thriving heart. Harvard School of Public Health researchers Julia Boehm and Laura Kubzansky recently completed a literature review examining the link between positive psychological well-being and cardiovascular disease. They learned that optimistic people can cut their risk of a first heart attack by 50 percent compared to glass-half-empty types. "We found that people with [a] greater level of well-being tend to engage in healthy behaviors and have better biological functioning," says Boehm. Most of the studies controlled for obesity, smoking, high cholesterol, and depression, and found optimistic views were beneficial over and above these traditional risk factors, she notes. Every day, count your blessings, practice kind acts to others, socialize, and develop relationships you feel good about—all for the good of your heart. [Read more: Take Action for Heart Health]
Quick and Healthy Lunch Tips
With the days getting shorter amid busy school and work schedules, it's easy for many of us to forget to plan lunch. Constructing healthy meals is my job, and I slip too!
As a dietitian, I'm always asked for suggestions to help people eat well on a tight schedule, writes U.S. News blogger Keri Glassman. In this blog, I'll be bringing you the inside scoop on what the Nutritious Life team is brown bagging. See what we're packing for lunch, and pick up some healthful tips that might work for you.
Here is a glimpse at a recent lunch of mine:
What was in my lunch bag? Hummus, sliced turkey, romaine lettuce, and red grapes.
How did I decide on this assortment? In my mad rush to work a few mornings ago, I threw lettuce leaves, hummus, and sliced turkey in a bag. Like many people, I always keep lettuce and some form of lean deli meat in the fridge. I like to buy organic sliced turkey, like the Applegate brand, for a lean, low-calorie source of high-quality protein that is nitrite free. The grapes were an afterthought—my kids love them—so my home is always stocked with them. I figured I'd want something to complement the turkey, lettuce, and hummus, since it was a fairly basic lunch. This is often what I do when I am pressed for time. I just throw a bunch of ingredients in a bag and assemble them at work. Preassembled wraps usually fall apart anyway when I'm rummaging around in my bag for my Metrocard or sunglasses.

After two years, the search for Shanae Peterson is over, and the missing girl has been found safe. On September 29, 2008, U.S. Marshals in South Dakota found the 12 -year-old girl in British Columbia, thanks to a tip to the AMW hotline. Shanae disappeared on August 15, 2006, when she was supposed to report back to her father's house, but never showed up.
»The Full Story
That was until an alert tipster came to AMW.com and discovered that the man he knew in Canada as Robert Evans, according to the U.S. Marshals, was really Perry Sharp. And Perry Sharp was married to Eileen Sharp, a woman who had allegedly taken her daughter, Shanae Peterson, with her, even though she didn't have custody of the girl.
The tipster said that the family was living in Dawson Creek, on the Alberta border.
The U.S. Marshals contacted Canadian authorities, who found Eilleen and Perry Sharp -- and missing girl Shanae Peterson.
The Sharps are currently in custody, and cops say Shanae will be reunited with her father soon.

It's hard to believe it's been 34 years since Massachusetts was hit with the Blizzard of '78.
On Feb. 6, 1978, the area was blanketed with a record 27 inches of snow, with the added bonus of hurricane-force winds. The storm began the morning of Feb. 6 and lasted through the following evening. It was a storm that was never really predicted to be this large, and yet from it one good thing came—we learned about emergency preparedness.
The snow came down so quickly (at a rate of an inch an hour) thousands of motorists were stranded in snowdrifts as they drove down Route 128. Roads throughout the state were impassible and cars were abandoned at every turn.
For those of us who were old enough to remember, the memories differ. The motorist stuck in his car for hours on the highway, the family wondering where that person was, to a community paralyzed by Mother Nature in a storm no one ever expected.
As a young girl I remember climbing 7-foot-high snow piles with my sister and father. My mother was at New England Baptist Hospital, having just had surgery. For me, it was magical, because I didn't understand the danger. Our parents shielded us from the chaos and we didn't know people lost their lives in that storm. Looking back as an adult, it's terrifying how unprepared we were for this event.
Thirty-four years ago we had 27 inches of snow. Today, the forecast is saying temps will be in the 50s. I'll take the 50-degree temps over what happened here a little more than three decades ago.
We would love to hear your stories from the Blizzard of '78 and see your photos. You can upload your photos directly to our image gallery and tell us your stories.

There have been two designs for the MacBook Pro, both using aluminum. The first was largely a carry-over from the PowerBook G4, but used the Intel Core processors instead of PowerPC G4chips. A 15-inch model was released in January 2006, a 17-inch model in April, both of which received several updates and Core 2 Duo processors later in the year.
The second model, known as the "unibody" model, has a more tapered design and a casing made from a single block of aluminum. It debuted in October 2008 as the 15-inch MacBook Pro and the 13-inch aluminum unibody MacBook. The following January brought the design to the 17-inch model, along with the built-in battery that joined the rest of the MacBook Pro line in June. Subsequent updates brought upgraded Intel Core i5 and i7 processors and introduced Intel'sThunderbolt technology.

Abyssus, I'm Adrian Celtica of the Gaul. It's been a decade since Caeser and Rome conquered us, but I still remember that one-sided war well. We lost battle after battle and were defeated almost every point. The only real resistence against the Romans is up at Hadrians Wall which I believe is still standing only because Rome is busy elsewhere. I do remember once me and my tribe came upon an abandoned roman fort. It was the most enlightening experience I've known and will ever know. It was the first time I had contact with Roman culture on anywhere other than a battlefield. It was then I realized we had never had a chance in this war. From the battlefield I already knew that the Romans were much better equipped than us. Where we had just a shield and a leather helmet, they have metal body armor they call lorica, a square shield or scutum, and a metal helmet called a cassis. They fought in a disciplined manner unlike our wild attacks lead by a hero. Their thrusts with their gladius beat or crazy slashes with our longswords. When we throw our spiraled javilens they just come right back at us. The Romans spears, or pilums, that we laughed at because of how weak it was, broke on impact so we couldn't throw them back. Even though we had all those disadvantages I believed that eventually we would find the power to strike back and win the war. That all changed when we found the fort.

Hello! This is my first forum post here at RB. I just created my account today but have been playing (HOOKED ON actually) Rockband 3 for a few months. Love it.
I have a band as well as produce/ write/ record for other people so needless to say I'm VERY excited to port some tracks over to the RB format. I finally started looking into this today and am happy to see that Harmonix has made this possible.
BUT i noticed that creators.rockband.com is down. Does anyone know an alternate site where the "how to" is located? I was able to find this, http://www.midi.org/aboutmidi/rockband.php but i'm not sure how accurate it is. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would make my day.
Couple of other quick questions hopefully someone can answer...
Are there any OSX programs to do this (magma etc) or will i have to run windows?
Is it possible to audition tracks in my PS3, or does this only work on Xbox?

Environmental Change 2010
I read somewhere that you mentioned an environmental event in 2010. Do you have any more information on this?
My mind has shifted recently and the ideas that you are expressing are drastically more clear in my mind recently.
Happy Day
Miriam's reply:
Great question. Yes I still feel that 2010 is going to be a big challenge for us. It is my view that late next year we will have an event that will change the world. Do I think that we need to live in fear over it? No not at all. Change always happens and we need to prepare for that change. Spiritually mostly.
I would like to share something really positive with you also. For all the years I have been talking with people I have shared this upcoming year as monumental. What is interesting to me is that on some level I know that we as humans have changed and so the effect that was originally going to be extream has somewhat calmed. This is great news!
What I DO know is that humanity is getting ready…ready for a shift in the way we are living on the planet. The mind of the human in awakinging and we are in the process of making change. All of us doing our part to bring about change and bring the truth to the forefront has changed the course we were on. The original plan of devastation has lessened. That however does not mean it is not going to happen.
Everyone keep doing what you have been because we are strong and getting stronger in our hearts and THAT really is what is going to change the world. So many people just cant see how unity will create change but it will.
I will keep you all posted on what I feel with this.
Great question. thanks.
Love Miriam

Wage and Hour Laws
In late June, we noted legislation introduced in the Senate and in the House of Representatives that would essentially repeal the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's Section 13(a)(15) "companionship" exemption in any practical sense. U.S. Labor Department regulations and interpretations elaborate upon how and to whom the exemption may be applied.
Recent correspondence (link below) from the 28-member Eldercare Workforce Alliance to U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda L. Solis suggests that proponents of such a change are re-directing their focus from legislation to regulatory limitations. This letter urges DOL to take "timely action" by imposing a "revised interpretation of the exemption that will extend greater federal minimum wage and overtime protection under FLSA to the more than 1,500,000 paid home‐ and community‐based care workers who provide essential services to our nation's older adults and people with disabilities." It is highly likely that the "revised interpretation" this advocates will amount to gutting the exemption by regulation. Perhaps this reflects a political calculation that the legislative prospects are unfavorable.
For some time now, DOL's regulatory agenda has included a very general item expressing an intention to revisit the exemption. A number of questions were raised about this in the U.S. Wage and Hour Division's July 13 short-on-transparency "webchat", but these were met repeatedly with DOL's reply that it is "premature" to discuss whatever the looming "proposal" is. The sole detail to emerge is that DOL expects to publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking in October.
While of course it remains to be seen what actually transpires, one may reasonably suspect that at least some of the forthcoming proposal will consist of concepts that also appear in the pending legislation. For example, the proposal might well say that the exemption cannot apply to a worker who is employed by the agency supplying his or her services to an elderly person or to the person's family.
It is also probable that the time period for commenting on and registering objections to this proposal will be relatively brief. Those who oppose cutting-back on the "companionship" exemption must be vigilant and should be prepared to act on short notice.

Exemptions And Exceptions | Legislation | Minimum Wage | Overtime | Overtime Compensation
Another effort is afoot to limit the federal Fair Labor Standards Act's Section 13(a)(15) "companionship" exemption to the point of non-existence in any practical sense. Last week, apparently-identical bills (S. 1273 and H.R. 2341 -- see currently available version below) were introduced in the Senate and the House which would have precisely this effect. Similar measures were proposed last year, but the newer ones would impose even-narrower restrictions.
The FLSA's minimum-wage and overtime requirements do not apply to "any employee employed in domestic service employment to provide companionship services for individuals who (because of age or infirmity) are unable to care for themselves . . .." "Domestic service employment" refers to services of a household nature the worker performs in or about the private home of the person by whom he or she is employed. The term "companionship services" means providing care, fellowship, and protection to people who cannot care for themselves due either to advanced age or to physical or mental difficulties. Additional U.S. Labor Department regulations and interpretations explain how and to whom the exemption may be applied.
If the proposed amendment becomes law, only an employee employed "on a casual basis" to provide companionship services could be eligible for exemption under Section 13(a)(15). In turn, the phrase "on a casual basis" would be defined so as to make the exemption available only if:
♦ The companionship employment is irregular or intermittent;
♦ The work is not performed by someone whose vocation is to provide companionship services;
♦ The worker is employed only by the family or household using his or her services, rather than by another employer or agency (this is almost certainly designed to exclude even joint-employment arrangements involving, for instance, the worker, a home-healthcare agency, and the service recipients);
♦ The worker's employment by the employer is limited to no more than five hours "per week" (whether a calendar week, a workweek, or some other kind of "week" the bills do not say, nor do they clarify whether the five-hour limit is to be viewed as an average or as an each-"week" proposition); and
♦ The worker's employment by the employer may not extend beyond a "time period" of twelve "weeks" in a calendar year.
These last two restrictions are more stringent than was their counterpart in last year's proposed changes.
It is likely that most employees providing companionship services (and apparently all such workers employed by home-healthcare agencies and similar organizations) would no longer fall within the amended exemption. It is entirely foreseeable that, instead of improving the circumstances of "direct care workers" and "older adults" whom the amendment purports to help, the changes would expose the interests of both groups to the principle of unintended consequences at the worst-possible time.
The bills have been referred to legislative committees at this point, so it does not appear that there will necessarily be immediate action. Nevertheless, the Service Employees International Union supports the bills, so opponents of these measures should take them seriously and should waste no time in making their views known to their Senators and Representatives.

I don't mean to make light of a serious situation, but I thought this picture was funny (mostly because of the look on her face)....
"the world will know soon enough if Millen in fact acted alone."
Hmmmm.........a very large guy approaches/follows you in the middle of a rainy night and you should stop and talk to him?
Trayvon may have thought the dude was trying to rob/kidnap/anything him. There hasn't been any report of Zimmerman identifying himself as part of the neighborhood watch. No reports of clothing that would identify him as such either. In fact, there has been no report of any conversation between the two.
Remember he was visiting his father and his GF. This wasn't his neighborhood so I imagine it was unfamiliar territory for the most part. He was trying to get back to the place he was visiting.
More importantly, why is Trayvon obligated to stop and explain anything to any non-police officer?
Only thing I could say that he should've done differently is if he felt threatened he should've got off the phone with the girl and called the police but then you get back to the having to trust police thing................
This situation is very troubling for me. It could easily have been one of my teen-aged nephews. He was on the phone and prolly wanted a little privacy and was just kind of wandering. I've done the same thing plenty of times in my neighborhood. As an adult I would say "WTF is your problem" to Zimmerman? As a 140 lb teenager and I see a 250 lb man following me and coming at me in the night, I'm prolly haulin ass too!!
Geraldo is blaming this on the fact that the young man was wearing a hoodie. He beleives that hooded sweatshirts are "gangster wear", and that buy a) wearing a sweatshirt that is so obviously gangster related and b) pulling the hood over his head so that Zimmerman could not see that a clean cut kid he was, that this somehow caused or contributed to Zimmerman's reaction to Trayvon. He's advocating that parents talk to the kids, and discourage them from wearing hoodies, since wearing them sends the wrong message.
He was serious.

I'm not saying he had to, I was just throwing out a way that things could have been handled differently by everyone involved. And I would say that Zimmerman not identifying himself or saying anything other than just start chasing the kid. It just falls inline with one of the many errors in judgement that led to this whole tragedy.
If you were concerned about idiots why didn't you say that upfront instead of what you actually said until someone made a comment about what you actually said. It always amazes me when someone says something stupid but then it is the person who calls them out that they blame instead of owning up to the fact that they made a stupid comment or just merely clarifying what they "now mean."
I also wonder why the labeling of this as a, "hate crime" has any significance to your comments.
Don't you think the people watching this do not easily come to the conclusion that this is a hate crime based on the circumstances surrounding this murder. Do you think that people do not have the capacity to look at the circumstances and come to their own conclusion about what this is, but somehow labeling it a hate crime magically changes peoples level of anger and incites them to riot when they otherwise would not if it wasn't labeled a hat crime?

F the NRA
For most it is implied... for people like you and det2orl that always assume there is a racial undertone, I suppose it isn't.
If labeling it as a hate crime or racially motivated doesn't increase the level of anger and attention it gets... why are there not threads on the story Gazoo posted? Why are there no threads on any black on black crimes that happened to children recently? white on white? hispanic on hispanic? If it wasn't... why would you have posted this:
or this?
So you mean to tell me that there would not be a few idiots who share the same sentiment as you and would look to get an eye for an eye. Or as MCJ said- a hate crime for a hate crime?
Again- it could have been a white child killed by a black man, asian or arabic... the race doesn't matter. Its the premise that does and the idiots who will want vigilante justice any way they can get it.
Again, this all seems obvious. I'm not sure why I waste my time replying to you

love those!
these are SO MUCH fun!
you find the coolest stuff!
oh i want these!
great find! :)
oh i love these for a nye cocktail party!!
in addition to being adorable, the best part about this for me is that if my drink should just so happen to "oops" spill and blur my writing, then I wont feel as bad about breaking my resolution!
those are too cute!! I think I am going to recreat for my new years!!! Love it!
Um, yes please. I want these!! ...belated Christmas gift maybe? :)
Oh these are gab. Really forces the issue. Might be funny to write "stop drinking so much" on it. Bad joke. Very inappropriate.
I was thinking the exact same thing as Erin... drink spillage would erase my good intentions!!

I just ordered the new I Pod nano. Does this arm band fit?
- Asked by Maura M from Apo

It does fit the iPod nano (7th generation) released this year. While it fits, it doesn't fit extremely *well*. It's very snug, and difficult to take out. Controls (except for the sleep and home buttons) are very difficult to press. I'd wait for something a little better, or invest in a case with a clip. I own one, and am not extremely happy with the purchase.

It fits the new Nano very well. No ability to charge or sync while in it though

The new iPod is a tight squeeze, although our experience with the Incase armbands is that they do loosen up somewhat with use. Because of the lack of cut-outs for volume and charging cable, we used to carry the iPods in the armbands (older models) upside down, so we could access the charging port. The armband is tight enough that the iPod will stay put, even upside down with no restraining strap.

Thankyou all.
Nice to get your GEA Malcolm,many thanks.
Thanks too to Si & Pauline for their UA's
Dave,I see what you mean about the bricks,however...they are actually the right size in comparison to the other 'toys',I haven't made them bigger.The Pram is about 8 inches high & the Train is barely a couple of inches high.I could perhaps only just fit 2 bricks inside the pram.It looks right to me coz I know how small the other things are,the viewer doesn't...hey ho
Note to self...must try harder
Janet xx
Excellent bit of processing Janet, love the darkside to this
Quote: see what you mean about the bricks,however...they are actually the right size in comparison to the other 'toys
I think because the colours of the train, red and green are similar in colour to the bricks, hence the size comparison, but a niggle of a very fine image.
Great piece of work.............also like the mod by Eviscera.
I like the 'work' but it suffers from a sense of false perspective and perceived size. The corridor makes the pram look like a full size one to our eyes and even then about two feet too high but because of that we see the bricks as being the same size, if not bigger, than a pram wheels and that is just wrong.
The biggest problem in any composite is perception and expectation, Mum.
Happy New Year!
The comment was meant for Janet. However, I was explaining the reason for the bricks appearing too large. Thanks for the link to that Dali person, I must look her up, although women like her tend to scare us traditionalists who have so long been stuck in our ways.
Thanks all.
Comments & observations taken on board chaps...I'm just trying out this composity stuff,don't really think it's me but fun having a go,guess I gotta go reeeeeally OTT or nowt or just get some smaller bricks or a bigger pram
I understand what you are saying Son but it's an uphill learning curve.
Happy New Year to you too.
Dave ..that mod is 'orrid, flippin' scary doll or what !!!!
Oh & it actually is a midget sized pram
Quote: you had been using the old feeder out the back
Nope,but the thought did cross my mind Adrian,no need for composites then I guess
Janet xx
Absolutely stunnimg. I do not care what has been said about the size ot perspective being wrong. I think it has loads of atmosphere and oozes quality. I look at your work and half of me is inspired and the other half wants to give up and take up tiddlewinks !
This is brilliant Jan, by far the best so far (hence the UA).
You could explore butting the Pram further back in the frame, then you would give it more depth, also there would be less concern about perspective - indeed it would give it the feel of a wide angle lens, the viewer isn't concerned if the original pran is 6 inches high or 6 feet.
The above is more to address some of the comments above - I just love it.

This yard is fully fenced and it was a mystery how that deer/buck got in here. I was told, by the 911 dispatcher, this deer was reported earlier and has been able to jump over the fence in a few yards in our area. The Deer didn't damage the fence

Pacific Resources for Education & Learning
Overview DGA | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | Year 4 | Year 5 | Year 6 | NGO Awardees
The Reading First program is for elementary schools. This is the largest and most focused early reading initiative ever undertaken in states across the country. The program will provide support to schools to implement proven methods of early reading instruction in K-3 classrooms and comprehensive reading programs grounded in scientifically based reading research. Reading First supports Governor James E. McGreevey's statewide literacy initiative. Furthermore, this program is a blueprint for reading instruction so that all New Jersey students read on or above grade level by the end of the third grade.
The Reading First program activities will ensure that every child in K-3 receives high-quality instruction that is explicit and systematic and focuses on the five components of effective, early reading instruction: •phonemic awareness; •phonics instruction; •fluency; •comprehension strategies; and •vocabulary development. In addition, Reading First emphasizes the importance of using screening, diagnostic, and classroom-based assessments to inform classroom practices that will ultimately improve student performance and close the achievement gap.
The Department of Education will conduct a comprehensive evaluation of all Reading First schools during this six-year grant implementation. At the midpoint of year three of grant implementation, schools are required to show reading gains in order to continue receiving Reading First funding.

This is Elvis the Cat. He looks innocent, no?
In actuality, he is the Deepest of Nappers, Messiest of Eaters, and Fiercest of Jumpers on Furniture. (He used to also entertain himself by beating up the other neighborhood animals, but we've had a few talks about that, and now he mostly restricts himself to a few kitty war cries from time to time.)
Elvis the Cat is also a huge flea magnet, which brings us to why he's the star of today's blog on prescription drugs. A couple of years ago, Elvis the Cat's fleas were so bad that fleas infested my entire apartment. Friends and family refused to come over until the fleas were eradicated, and since holistic pet meds didn't seem to do much (diatomaceous earth, anyone?), in desperation I turned to prescription flea drops.
The prescription flea drops solved Elvis' flea problem. Unfortunately, the total tab for a six month supply of Frontline Plus prescription flea drops can run as much as $105, not a very affordable option when you're trying to save on your own prescription drugs let alone your pet's. But even on sale at PetCo online, the Frontline Plus prescription flea drops are $68 (plus shipping and handling) for a six month supply. Other online pet suppliers carry the same six month supply of Frontline Plus for between $65 (USPets.com) to $75 (Amazon.com), all before shipping and handling.
Faced with a prospect of a miserable summer of flea-dom (for both Elvis and me!), I took to the Internet again, determined to find a more affordable option for Elvis' flea drops, and confirmed what I had suspected:
Not only are my prescription drugs cheaper in Canada, but Elvis the Cat's prescription drugs are, too! A quick scan through Canadian online pet stores show a six month supply of Frontline Plus routinely selling for $55 (plus S&H). ThiftyVet.com offered the lowest price I could find for a six month supply, a bargain-basement $45.99 plus $5 for shipping and handling.
For comparison, the most expensive prescription drug I use is Losartan Potassium, brand name Cozaar. Losartan Potassium routinely runs between $65 to $75 for a 30 day supply here in the United States. A 90 day supply of Losartan Potassium isn't much cheaper, usually running around $200. However, Canadian online pharmacy ABCOnlinePharmacy.com offers 112 tablets of Losartan Potassium for $125, a more than 30% savings. A Losartan generic is even cheaper, less than $55 for a 90 day supply.
So Why Are Prescription Drugs (Both Pet and Human) Cheaper in Canada and Other Countries?
It's no fluke that prescription drugs are cheaper in Canada and most other countries. The Canadian government strictly regulates prescription drug prices, and puts a ceiling on what prescription drug manufacturers can charge for their drugs in Canada. In addition, other countries, including Canada, allow drug manufacturers to start selling generic equivalents for brand name prescription drugs before they can here in the United States, like the Losartan generic I found on ABCOnlinePharmacy.com. It all adds up to much more affordable prescription drug prices.
But Is Buying Prescription Drugs from Canada Safe? Is It Even Legal?
Before you go running off to buy prescription drugs from Canada, here are some important things to keep in mind:
Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone to except a drug manufacturer to bring in prescription drugs from a foreign country, so technically it is illegal for you to buy your prescription drugs from a foreign country and bring them into the United States or have them shipped to you here. This includes prescription drugs which are originally manufactured in the U.S. and exported to a foreign country which you may want to bring back to the U.S.
That being said, the FDA generally does not take action against individuals bringing in small amounts of prescription drugs (usually a 90-day supply) for their own personal use. Of course, enforcement is up to FDA discretion, but their guidelines prioritize going after drug rings rather than your average senior citizen ordering their monthly prescription drugs from Canada.
However, there are basic safety risks in buying prescription drugs from a foreign country, especially if you are buying drugs through an online pharmacy. Anyone can set up a "pharmacy" online, and it can be extremely difficult to verify that you are actually receiving your prescription drugs from a legitimate source. Some online pharmacies have been known to ship substandard drugs, drugs that are past their expiration date, drugs that are too strong/weak, counterfeit drugs or drugs that have been sourced through countries without adequate safety standards.
In addition, prescription drug trade names are not standard across countries so there is a risk that by ordering Flomax (which in the U.S. is a medication for an enlarged prostate) you will receive the drug known as Flomax in Italy (which is an anti-inflammatory drug).
So, if you're going to buy prescription drugs from Canada or elsewhere, be cautious and careful. The potential savings on prescription drugs can be significant, but you don't want to do anything that would jeopardize your health or well-being.
