John H. Kinzie School is a public elementary school located on the southwest side of Chicago. Its total enrollment of 450 students includes a special education population of 135 children.

Two separate worlds, regular and special education. The regular education teachers were veterans. They had done it all, produced winning math, science, and writing projects, created beautiful art displays. They had had the students who could do it all. Of 497 Chicago public schools, John H. Kinzie was one of the twenty in which...

I was a teacher of the deaf, the group speech-and-auditory-training teacher. The children called me Banks and simultaneously signed a B in a circular motion in front of the mouth. (Mrs., with its double syllables of sibilant s, was an impossibility for the younger children.) Every class in the deaf department came to me for forty minutes a week of group...

The deaf children needed expensive equipment in addition to the carpeting and drapery that helped to muffle the environmental noises in the classroom- the feet scuffling across the floor, chairs dragging, desks banging, books dropping, kids talking. Although they were identified as deaf, the children had varying degrees of...

Every deaf child had a personal hearing aid-on paper there was a serial number or two for each. Most children had body aids that were worn on the chest in a harness: standard white cotton, cool blue denim, or far-out crocheted. Usually about eight square inches in size, the rectangular hearing aid unit housed a battery-powered...

There were very few interruptions to the classroom schedule except for an intermittent "Mr. Franklin, call the office. Mr. Franklin, please call the office" from the public address system. Mr. Franklin was an exemplar of the management-by-walking-around theory of administration. After solving the morning's immediate...

Ms. Maureen Brownell was Kinzie's team leader, a teacher position endowed by the special education coordinators with supervisory responsibilities. Her job required, as she said, "wearing many hats." It involved making decisions on curriculum and materials, on placement of children, on multidisciplinary conference...

I started organizing the deaf department assemblies back at Marquette School, probably because one of my speech classes always had a poem or skit memorized and ready to perform. I relied on the arts as a framework for my speech lessons. Special ed required innumerable repetitions, and having a hearing loss precluded picking up any information...

Albert asked the question first in speech class, on a balmy Indian summer day when shafts of sunlight highlighted the "sha(r), shaw, shoe, shee" on the speech chart and the warm-for-October breeze blew the playground noises into the classroom. It was recess time for the hearing children, and their songs and shouts were so...

In June 1984, Mr. Franklin received a copy of a letter sent to Ms. Altschuler.

Marcia created several button designs, and the committee selected a deaf boy and a hearing girl signing "friends." A friend of a friend owned a buttonmaker which he loaned to Kinzie.

About one-third of Kinzie's deaf students were now learning with hearing children in communication arts or one of the mainstreamed arts classes taught by Marcia and me together.

Markeeta was a beautiful and good baby from her first breath. There were no complications during her birth, and it wasn't until Markeeta was about eight months old that Donna began to sense something was not quite right.

Most of Kinzie had a positive attitude. A few of the regular teachers still talked of the old glory days, but current students were achieving. Kinzie kids always took high honors at the Math Counts Competition and in the Math Meet of the Academic Olympics. They were winners at the District Young Authors Conference, and two...

In his letter to Mr. Franklin, Fred Barnes had mentioned two students involved in due-process procedures for speech. They were Markeeta and Joey.

School reform was now the law. Kinzie's principal, parents, and staff had been struggling together for the past seven years to meet students' needs. They had written letters and demonstrated at board meetings to get auditory-training units for the deaf children. They had worked with outside agencies to make ear molds. They had begged...

Jennifer and Beth were very close-not like two peas in a pod- more like corn flakes and cream. Beth was the smooth surface, still quiet, the foil for snappy, crackly Jenni.

Reality TV Show to Ink Your Twitter Name as a Tattoo
Call me crazy, but there's a new social media marketing campaign from A&E that's really got me thinking about getting a tattoo of my Twitter name. Sure, the Twitter fail whale tattoo is a bit much, and the WordPress logo is definitely out there, but my personal brand has become so associated with my Twitter identity that it almost makes sense to get the new ink. And it seems I'm not alone.

A little about me...
I am easy going, open-minded, compassionate and a caring person. I am family oriented and have 2 grown children with families of thier own. I live the "golden rule" everyday and believe things happen for a reason. I had a great childhood and have a wonderful family. I have a young spirit and think age is only a number. I am thankful for my health and am fortunate not to be on any medications as some people my age. I avoid as much stress as possible and try to stay away from negative people. I always think of my glass as 1/2 full and hope my smile is contagious. I take one day at a time and believe that things in this life happen for reasons.
About the one I'm looking for...
I am looking for someone who is honest, has a sense of humor and knows how to communicate. I am interested in what's inside of a person and how they treat people but also feel there should be attraction & chemistry in a relationship along with respect and honesty.
I'd just like to add...
I love music and laughter and feel they are medicinal. I love animals, movies, zoos, museums and just sharing my interests with someone else's is always fun. I love the theatre and the symphony. walks in the park and sitting by a lake watching the sunset is always more fun when sharing. I share my home with a cat who is very sweet and always welcomes me at the door,,,,but no subustitute when it comes to sharing conversations..

text: On September 9, 1994, at approximately 1945 Alaska daylight time, a tundra tire wheel equipped Piper PA18-150 airplane, N57698, owned and operated by the pilot-in-command, collided with terrain during a landing attempt at a remote site near the confluence of the Tyone River and Susitna River about 30 miles west of Gulkana, Alaska. The private certificated pilot and his one male passenger, the sole occupants, were not injured and the airplane sustained substantial damage. The pleasure flight, conducted under 14 CFR Part 91, last departed Lake Louise at about 1800 and the intended destination was the accident site. The pilot reported that visual meteorological conditions prevailed and that he had left an itinerary of the flight with his wife. During a telephone interview on September 13, 1994, the pilot told the NTSB investigator-in-charge that the landing was conducted in a 4 to 5 knot right quartering tail wind. During the landing rollout, he lost directional control of the airplane and the plane ground looped to the right.

REFORUMULATED 2012 Please see http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=159975/Double-Wear-Stay-in-place-Makeup/Estee-Lauder/Liquid for the current formulation of this product
I bought this a while back and had stopped using it because I wanted to sample some other foundations for summer.
Well, all the other foundations failed and I am now back with Double Wear.
DW is the only foundation that stays put all day and doesn't turn into a huge oil slick by lunch time.
It can be a bit thick, sticky, and challenging to blend, but I've found that if I use my MAC 188 (stippling) brush and just patiently keep blending, it eventually smooths out into a very natural finish.
I would describe the coverage as almost-full. It doesn't cover every little thing, but the finish is much nicer than most foundations. I think that's why some people describe it as full coverage-- because the finish really does camouflage imperfections very well.
This is not the only foundation I love, but I think it's going to be the most dependable one for summer.
I will definitely repurchase.
UPDATE: It's official; this is my HG foundation. It controls oil like no other, but without looking overly matte or dry. Nothing compares to the finish.
I also wanted to mention that for my NC30 skin, I use a combination of Sand and Tawny shades. Sadly, there is no exact match for my skin tone. And I did shell out the extra cash for two MAC foundation pumps to make sure it stays clean and easy to dispense. I love it that much.
UPDATE 5/1/10: I stopped using this again last winter. It started to feel too drying. I would say this is a good foundation for oily, acne-prone skins. But for drier skins, it may be a bit dehydrating.
I do think that a very light layer applied with a stippling brush is the best way to wear this. Otherwise, it can feel heavy.

This was the only liquid foundation I actually purchases twice in a row. It stayed in place, it didn't shine, had great coverage, and it didn't make me breakout. I usually didn't look mask-ish except when I had gotten tan or pale and probably needed to get a new shade.
I have started trying out other foundations because I wanted to see if I could find one to make me look a bit more natural. I am thinking of switching back to this one if I don't find something else soon.
Well, first things first. THIS FOUNDATION IS AMAZING! It covers so well, it's like magic in a bottle. This is coming from a person that has bad acne scars that are so hard to cover! But, this stuff covers them totally! I've tried MAC SFF and Select in NC15 & NW15 (coverage was buildable but never had time to build it up!), Loreal True Match in W2 (weard texture), Covergirl (All Foundations) in Classic Ivory (too sheer, little-no coverage), Clinique Super Fit (Lightest color was too orange), Lancome TEINT IDOLE ULTRA in Buff 2w (it worked well too but this is better) Revlon Color Stay in Buff (works like MAC Select), Maybelline Ivory products (too orange!), Almay Ivory (all)(too sheer)
Lets see I tried alot of products and let me tell you, THIS ONE IS THE BEST.
If you want to get a GOOD foundation, get this one. It lasts all day, never oxidizes or goes that ugly fake tan orange that people always look at when your on the bus!
Heres a tip, if you have oily/combination/normal/dry skin moisturize because it does have a matte finish and sometimes depending on the skin type it may look a little cakey if you dont but honestly after 10 minutes it looks wonderful!!! The color im using is Linen and it matches soo well, I added my past colors I have used in the past up above, it may help out a bit!
Hope I Helped somebody!

I tried this on at a makeup counter and it was nice at first, but I think I got matched with the wrong color. However, even if I was matched with the right color, the foundation seemed a little on the thick side for me. I felt like I was wearing a mask everywhere I went and felt really self conscience of myself. Also, when I sweat the sweat kind of just beaded up on my skin. It didn't feel natural on my skin at all. I thought the coverage was great and it won't melt on your skin when you sweat, but it's not for me.
This is one of my favourite foundations mainly because it stays true to colour. The shades are all very natural looking and it never oxidises on the skin.
The coverage is fairly good, I have scarring and spots and it covers them quite well. This is the closest full coverage transfer resistant foundation I have found so far and it's perfect for day wear.
This looks really cakey and horrid in natural light, so you can only get away with wearing it in the evening. But be aware because the colour selection is ridiculously strange. When applied to the skin the colour looks nothing like it does in the bottle. (weird weird wied!) I was matched to shell beige which looked a gorgeous tan colour in the bottle but once applied over moisturizer it looked grey and ashy.. wtf is up with that!!? Then I tried applying it over bare skin (no moisturzer) and the colour looked a bit better but still no where as nice as in the bottle. Also It's completely flat in natural light and doesnt even cover blemishes that well! Also this made me break out everytime I wore it. It sticks to my face like paint and is very diffucult to take off. The only thing you can use to remove it completely is some over drying stripping cleanser
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Ive been using this foundation for awhile now, I used to use the Double Matte but after I complained that it was a bit too heavy looking the sales girls turned me on to this. It seems to be a lighter formula than the Double Matte and it still does a great job at controlling my oily areas. Ive gone through sevearl bottles of this and its pretty much been my HG foundation. It stays on all day I can go to work and I really dont have to do any touch ups which is great. The only problem Ive had is finding the exact perfect shade for me. Id been using Linen and the girl told me it looked too dark so they sent me home with a sample of Shell and Bone I think. The shell might be a bit better but I really thought Linen was the best. Maybe they just dont have a shade that will perfectly match my super fair skin? Ive recently purchased MAC studio fix fluid in NC10 and Im giving that a try but if I dont like it I will always have my Double Wear!
In my quest for the perfect foundation, I stopped by the EL counter and sampled the wares. The clerk applied the perfect shade and I walked away with a $40 bottle of foundation. But hey, it was worth it because it was my EXACT shade, right? But the next day I applied it and it was too light! I figured she must have used a darker powder to even things out. I really liked the formula and the coverage, but I just couldn't get my color. I returned it. The search continues.
I will give my two sense on this foundation. Let me say that it is pretty darn good and I think my HG now for. It covers soooo well. Only thing is if you have wrinkles or any wrinkles for that matter this foundation with emphisise them. I just turned 20 and seriously I put this on and already saw a wrinkle around my mouth I never even saw before. So I would say if you are young and want a good coverage fdn go get this its amazing but when I turn 25+ I think im gonna have to look for another foundation. Overall it is really great!
This is my all time favorite foundation. The secret for me is to first use my daily moisturizer, wait a few minutes, then apply the foundation. This really helps it spread easier and I have found even when using the moisturizer under it, it still stays put all day. I work outside a lot and tend to get pretty sweaty in the summer and this foundation still looks great at then end of the day. I have some dark spot around my chin and this covers them beautifully all day. I think it gives imperfect skin a flawless look. I also have very sensitive skin and this has never bothered it. Will purchase forever and ever!! HG!!!!!

Lawyers wishing to fill one of two Hamilton County judicial commissioner positions must file applications by 4 p.m. today at the County Commission office.
One-year posts currently held by Larry Ables and Jeff Davis are up for appointment.
Judicial commissioners, generally called magistrates, sign warrants for searches and felony arrests, appoint attorneys for indigent defendants, set bonds in criminal cases and perform other judicial duties for Hamilton County courts.
To become a magistrate, applicants must be licensed attorneys, and be willing to work all hours of the day for up to 40 hours a week. The pay is $61,143 with benefits.
County Commissioner Marty Haynes, who is chairman of the commission's Judicial and Security Committee, said last week he hoped to start interviewing for the positions Oct. 8.
"Depending on how many applicants we have, we will try to finish interviews that day," Haynes said.
The appointments are to be made during the Oct. 16 commission meeting, he said. The new terms will run until Oct. 31, 2014.
Commissioners also will name a chief magistrate, a title currently held by Randy Russell. The chief magistrate earns $64,363.
On Friday, Chris Hixon, the County Commission's legislative administrator, said she had received 17 applications.
Ables said Friday he reapplied.

American Idiom: Poets of the Later 20th and Early 21st Century***MAKE-UP SESSION SCHEDULED
American Idiom:
Poets of the Later 20th and Early 21st Century
Fall session: Six Tuesdays, October 16-November 27 (no class Election Day, November 6), 3:00—4:30 PM.
$120 ($100 members)
*When registering, please provide an email address for weekly communications.
*Above the River: The Complete Poems, James Wright (This title is currently unavailalbe from the publisher. The instructor will provide copies of the poems to be discussed.)
White Apples and the Taste of Stone: Selected Poems 1946-2006, Donald Hall
Due to the weather-related cancellation of the Tuesday, Oct. 30 session, American Idiom will hold a make-up session on Tuesday, Dec. 4, from 3:00-4:30
In 2012-13, we will revert to our traditional format of reading two poets a session over three sessions within the academic year. After roaming over space and time in the past few years, we will return to poets who have been writing within our lifetimes. We'll base our reading loosely on the question of what makes an American poetic idiom. "Idiom" is defined both as a phrase whose meaning cannot be understood from the dictionary definition of each separate word, and as a form of expression natural to a person, language or group. "Kick the bucket, hang one's head, raining cats and dogs" are just a few examples of idiom. We'll ask the question: what is it that makes American poetry distinctive?
In the fall we will read two quintessentially American writers active in mid-20th-century and beyond: James Wright and Donald Hall. Winter will bring us to Galway Kinnell and W.S. Merwin, and in the spring we will read Lucille Clifton and Natasha Trethewey, the new Poet Laureate.
Do join us this fall. It will be both comfortable and eye-opening to read the poetry of our own time. Those returning to the group will benefit from the enhanced perspective of having read poetry from many different time periods. Welcome newcomers will bring their fresh viewpoint. No experience necessary; just pleasure in the company of others.
Gigi Bradford is the President of the Folger Shakespeare Library Poetry Board.

Davis Cup 2013: Great Britain Shock Win Against Russia
UNITED KINGDOM (April 8th, 2013) – Great Britain has sealed a 3-2 win over Russia on the final day of play in Coventry at the Davis Cup by BNP Paribas Europe/Africa Zone Group I second round against Russia.
Wilson sponsored player, Dan Evans defeated Evgeny Donskoy – ranked over 200 places higher than him in the singles rankings - 6-4, 6-4, 6-1 to secure Great Britain's place in the 16-nation World Group Play-offs from September 13-15. Their opponents will be drawn April 10 and as ever, the balls used are the Wilson Davis Cup edition. Evans, who plays with the Six One 95 strung with Luxilon Alu power and Wilson Sensation, spoke after the match: "We did our analysis after Friday and I knew I could come to the net and win points. I like being there. I hit my forehand really well today too.".

Virginia Children in Poverty
The numbers of children in poverty have risen across the country. In Virginia, 25,000 more children have gone into poverty in 2009. The childhood poverty rate is now 13.9 percent.
John Morgan, executive director of Voices for Virginia's Children said:
"We know that children thrown into poverty by the recession are likely to stay poor for at least several years, long enough to suffer long-term consequences. The recession may be over, but not for these kids or for the thousands who were poor even before the recession."
Locally, some area efforts are reaching out to help these children.
- The Fredericksburg Area Food Bank is raising money to provide weekend supplies for students. They said that $200 will support one child for the entire school year, providing food to eat on weekends, when free and reduced lunches aren't available to provide meals for families who cannot afford them. To get involved, contact the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank at 540/371-7666. You can also text FREDFEED to 85944 to donate.
- Also, the Hope Center, a new organization in Stafford, hopes to provide gently used clothes and tutoring to children in need. If you have gently used clothes to donate or can volunteer to tutor, contact the center at 540/720-3663. You can also drop off clothes, in usable condition, at the center which is at 32 Bells Hill Rd. in Stafford County.
- SECA in Spotsylvania County uses proceeds from a thrift store to provide food for needy families. Donate food, money or items for the thrift store at SECA, behind the Marshall Building, Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–2 p.m. For details, call 540/582-2465.
- SERVE in Stafford County offers food and financial help. SERVE desperately needs peanut butter, diapers and other staples. Food donations may be dropped off at 15 Upton Lane, across from the Stafford Courthouse, Monday and Wednesday, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and Tuesday and Thursday, 1–4:30 p.m. Financial donations may be mailed to: SERVE, Inc., Box 1357 Stafford, Va. 22555. To volunteer, call 540/288-9603.

For more than 90 years, the same soft morning sunlight has poured over the fields of yellow sunflowers, tasseled stalks of sweet corn, and rows of grapevines growing at Rosedale Farms & Vineyards. In that span of time, five generations of Rosedales have tended to the farm's fresh vegetables, fruits, and flowers, sharing them with the Simsbury community and even earning a nod in the Washington Post. It wasn't until 2005, however, that the family produced its first vintage from its 4-acre vineyard of French hybrid grapes. Since then, the winery's estate-grown vintages have earned several awards, including a double gold at the 2010 Vineyard & Winery International Eastern Wine Competition. Today, at the winery's onsite bar, staff members pour samples of varieties such as the Simsbury Celebration, which distinguishes itself with a creamy structure, mineral overtones, and a penchant for hiding beneath lampshades. Additional events include fall farm fests that include free hayrides and corn mazes. Partnering with the Max Restaurant Group, Rosedale Farms & Vineyards also features chef-to-farm dinners, during which chefs prepare four- to six-course banquets using ingredients plucked straight from the fields.
Manny Miranda learned the art of winemaking from his father and grandfather, who hand-pressed their grapes in the courtyard of his childhood home in Portugal. Fifty years later, with the help of his wife Maria, Manny finally opened his own winery, Miranda Vineyard, and began fermenting delicately balanced vintages. In the past few years, wine-competition judges have taken notice: Miranda's seyval blanc earned a 2010 Gran Harvester Award silver medal for its fruity taste, as light and crisp as a helium-filled apple. In addition, the Vinho Fino collected a 2010 Amenti del Vino International Wine Competition gold medal. The sprawling grounds of the winery play host to soft picnic blankets topped with lunching visitors, live concerts, Shakespearean performances, and tour groups of parched raisins.
Since opening in 1975, Haight-Brown Vineyard has churned out 2,000 cases of grape-based libations each year from its nearly 10-acre vineyard and welcomed visitors into its rustic, cottage-like wine house. Emphasizing vinifera and French hybrid grapes, the state's first-established winery creates a selection of wines that include the Big Red, a bold syrah; the Morning Harvest, a rich malbec; and Honey Nut Apple, a traditional apple wine that incorporates local honey and cinnamon. Vintners share their time-tested expertise during regular classes that teach aspiring oenophiles about a variety of vintages and techniques for cheese and chocolate pairing. Amid the tasting room's wood accents and crackling stone fireplace, customers sample vintages and attempt to describe taste sensations with adjectives such as "silky" or "very different from milk."
We are a winery and vineyard in Southern Vermont. Three and a half hours from NY City, two and a half from Boston and an hour and a half from Hartford CT. We manufacture wine from our grown grapes as well as import grapes to create world class wines.
Soft breezes skip off the shores of Amos Lake, rustling through trees and across the grassy acreage that surrounds Dalice Elizabeth Winery, where second-, third-, and fourth-generation Italian Americans share the secrets of their polished craft. Having dispersed its all-natural specialty foods and wines internationally, the winery's founding family continually impresses the palates of casual indulgers and contest judges alike, churning out grape-to-bottle chardonnays, merlots, and sauvignons that cannot be found on the shelves of local stores. In addition to tastings, the winery hosts winemaking and cooking classes, during which glasses clink between aspiring chefs and vintners as they learn to entertain houseguests or polite burglars with style and ease.
Casa Di Lisa enchants eaters with a broad steak-and-seafood driven menu of authentic Italian cuisine. For starters, keep temperamental taste buds from shouting fashion advice to strangers with a distracting starter of beef carpaccio ($8), plated with capers and reggiano parmesan, or opt to begin with an order of clams casino ($7), cousin of the less-refined three-card-Monte oysters. Deep-sea divers can recapture the freshness of ocean-floor feasts with dishes such as swordfish au poivre and baked Atlantic cod (both $18) or lobster fra diavolo ($26). Inch-and-a-half-thick bone-in pork chops ($17) and a 24 oz. Italian-style rib eye ($26) inflame protein-powered passions; optional add-ons to the grilled goodies—such as jumbo stuffed shrimp ($8) and scallop and shrimp scampi ($10)—bring the opposing forces of surf and turf together for an appetizing armistice.

Is Xerox's Stock a Buy Now?
The first thing you should know is that Xerox is one of the most innovative companies in the world. If you just said to yourself, What in the world are you talking about? — that's a common reaction. Unbeknownst to most people, Xerox filed for 1,215 patents in 2012. That holds a lot of potential. Then again, potential doesn't always lead to results. We'll get to that a little further along. And don't worry, it's not that far. This is a short article.
As far as earnings go, Q4 revenue was $5.92 billion versus an expectation of $5.88 billion. Net income also beat expectations, but $335 million was a decline from $375 million in Q4 2011.
Let's take a look at some more important numbers for Xerox prior to forming an opinion on the stock's most likely direction…

Critically acclaimed restaurant RIA closing its doors July 27
By MICHAEL NAGRANT Restaurant Critic July 9, 2012 2:28PM
Chef Danny Grant
Updated: August 11, 2012 6:16AM
The Waldorf Astoria Chicago will shutter its Michelin two-star restaurant RIA on July 27. According toa hotel spokesperson, "The Waldorf Astoria Chicago recently completed a review of its existing food and beverage offerings and their compatibility with both local dining trends and the culinary preferences of hotel guests. Based on this review, the hotel decided to undergo a repositioning of its dining options."
When reached by phone, Chef Danny Grant, who will also be departing on July 27, added, "I really enjoyed the time atRIA. They've been generous and it's been a great ride."
While Grant would not speak on record about the reasons behind RIA's closing, it's hard not to read that the expensive modern restaurant had a hard time keeping up with the value small plates phenomenon sweeping Chicago.
There had been subtle signs of tumult. The pastry chef position was a revolving door and the hotel unexpectedly parted ways with chef Jason McCleod (the chef who garnered the Michelin rating) last February.
The hotel's issuing of a boilerplate PR statement about the closing is representative of the fundamental problem with RIA: It's never connected with Chicagoans. To achieve the kind of success that a peer such as Alinea has in a recessionary market requires a very public face and an ability to capture the imagination. Though RIA sommelier Dan Pilkey was one of Chicago's best wine guys, he was an "outsider" from California. Chef Grant is an incredible talent (recently named a best new chef 2012 by Food and Wine magazine), but no one knew him.
Though it one was one of my favorite restaurants in the last few years, I am an interested professional, not a pleasure-seeking, occasional diner. RIA was acclaimed, but it was never hot. It had no street-level presence; you had to ford a lobby and go up an elevator to find it. It was a special occasion restaurant, but people want to celebrate birthdays or propose marriage amongst friends or in famous venues. As such, RIA was subject to the whims of hotel guests, that variety of creature looking to retire with a room service burger, not rabbit terrine.

Now Spanish sperm takes a kick to the cojones
Scientists have announced that sperm production in young chaps in south-east Spain has fallen 38 per cent in the last decade, and is heading towards the "danger level" where it might prejudice conception. An international team, headed by the Department of Preventative Medicine and Public Health of the University of Murcia (UMU …
This period correlates to the rise in the iPhone. Coincidence?
Re: Interesting....
You're holding it wrong.
Re: Interesting....
I wouldn't say the iPhone specifically, but mobile phones in general. Everyone in this survey was born into a world where the radiation from mobile phones and other forms of wireless networks has been constantly increasing.
I'm not saying there is a connection, but you'd have to be pretty naive to immediately rule one out.
They will need a bailout from the rest of Europe?
Re: Maybe
For some reason, I thought you wrote "ballout" ...
Employment policy
Governemnt must have put something in the water.
Lower sperm count => Lower birth rate => Twenty years down the line, lower unemployment
Twenty years to solve a problem, pretty good going by Spanish standards.
Re: Employment policy
I was thinking much the same thing. Here, have a tinfoil hat - I have a spare...
in the water
I remember a while ago there was a study about the effect of female contraceptive pills (which contain female hormones) coming out in urine.
Nowadays estrogen patches for post menstrual symptoms are also common. They might also be a problem
Anyone know the results
Re: Employment policy
And huge numbers of geriatrics with few current taxpayers to fund their pension payments.
Re: Employment policy
Probably the other way around. Being unemployed is stressful, stress has a large impact on sperm levels, and half of Spain's young adults are unemployed. QED?
Re: Employment policy
It looks safe to assume you don't know shit about Spanish standards, or what can be done in Spain in 20 years, and that you are a racist POS. The worst to you.
Re: Employment policy @Periquet dels Palots
Thankyou Sir! May I have another one?
Darwin in action ?
fewer sperm = fewer mouths to feed = more likely survival for the rest ?
IANAB, but I'm sure that population reduction in the face of adverse environmental factors is one valid strategy.
Re: Darwin in action ?
"fewer sperm = fewer mouths to feed = more likely survival for the rest ?"
I think I'd rather starve to death (which is nature's way of dealing with overpopulation) than eat sperm.
Paris, because she wouldn't starve to death in this twisted future of yours.
Re: Darwin in action ?

I doubt it, he's fucking dead.

I can't say I approve of his choice of recreational activity.
"The cause of the Spanish sperm crisis is equally obscure"
Nothing at all to do with the oestrogen-like effects of plasticisers (e.g, phthalates) disrupting the hormone system in humans (and elsewhere) then?
Re: "The cause of the Spanish sperm crisis is equally obscure"
That sounds pretty obscure. Obscure doesn't mean "unknown" or "no working hypotheses".
Re: "The cause of the Spanish sperm crisis is equally obscure"
it's not obscure, just unknown by the general populace. I've known of this effect for years. Unfortunately tap water has lots of oestrogen because of all the women on the pill which adds oestrogen. It's really hard to filter out.
Don't think that bottled water helps. Being on the shelf for a while before you get it, the plasticisers (phthalates and others) which make plastic easy to shape/bend tend to leach into the bottled water.
Now we start to make a case for a home distillery, but that has it's own problems (legal) and that pure water is really really bad for the body as it strips out nutrients (read up on osmosis/osmotic pressure)
Re: "The cause of the Spanish sperm crisis is equally obscure"
Plasticisers are a possible cause, although, at an initial guess there are too many other factors to conclusively attribute to a particular cause (more research required! :D )
Just be wary of each crazy froob using this to support their cause: Homeopaths will say BigPharma is to blame; tin-foil-hat crowd will say EM radiation (likely with a CIA conspiracy to control breeding); hippies will say is because weed is not legal yet; vegans will blame modern meat production; vegans may also blame GMOs; Charles will blame the nano particles/pollution/lack-of-fox-hunting.
Here's hoping Beers not the cause!
Re: "it's not obscure, just unknown by the general populace"
That is the very definition (or at least, one of them) of obscure. From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/obscure - Obscure: relatively unknown
Re: "The cause of the Spanish sperm crisis is equally obscure"
Now we start to make a case for a home distillery, but that has it's own problems (legal)
Alcohol yes, but I didn't know there was a law against distilling water?
Re: "The cause of the Spanish sperm crisis is equally obscure"
"oestrogen-like effects of plasticisers "
Got any good links to provide evidence for this assertion? Or is this another "saccharin causes cancer so long as you are a rat and take in a million times a normal amount" type of scares?
People have been noticing this kind of thing for quite some time. In the late 90s there were studies performed at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen (Skakkabaek and Andersson - I'm too lazy to look up the references) showing that sperm levels in healthy males had fallen over the last 50 years.
Always wear a lab coat when handling clinical samples.
Yes, indeed, it seems to be a rather global problem.
Hello and...
Welcome to the Spanish sperm sampling clinic.
Please "don't" come again soon..
Re: Hello and...
Hi hi_robb,
I think your spelling is incorrect,the right one has only three letters.
This deficiency affair would at one time worry me , but now at age 82 it doesn,t.
Re: Hello and...
......yes, that's a banana in that pocket. I knew it!
Blame here, blame there...
Whichever mechanism causes such changes, they all can be put under the same label: The planet is pretty fed up with us.
Makes one stop and think, is what I say.
Re: Blame here, blame there...
The planet is pretty fed up with us."
That presupposes that the planet is capable of thinking and that anyone who thinks the planet capable of thinking can also think. Something to think about?
Overdrawn at the sperm-bank.
I wonder how long it will be before the Spanish are asking for a bailout from the European Central Sperm-Bank or the International Ejaculatory Fund to cover their 'deficit'?
I'll Line Up
..to "chip" in my bit in inseminating all those lovely spanish girls.
Re: Good news
Fewer unwanted pregnancies!
Concentration, or total count?
In the article it is stated: "a concentration lower than 40 million per millilitre makes conception more difficult". But is this assuming a fixed volume of ejaculate?
Which makes conception more difficult, a wad of 3 ml containing 150 million tadpoles, or a wad of 10 ml containing 300 million?
Re: Concentration, or total count?
Is wanking a form-factor?
Ay carumba
Not tonight, Conception
Maybe sperm count is inversely proportional to footballing ability, in which case Scotland will suffer from overcrowding in future.
i can't believe no opportunist politico has blamed global warming yet.
Really? Plasticised water bottles + no skepticism?
In all seriousness, I have to say, I'm really disappointed in the comments here so far. If this article had been on global warming, I'd be wading through a sea of skeptical voices. Most other studies that get coverage here provoke at least some questioning. Here, we're at 30+ comments and (with apologies if this gives anyone indigestion), everyone seems to have swallowed this whole. One of the reasons I really appreciate the readers here is your intelligence, skepticism and sense of humor - but here's the thing, the BBC itself put out an excellent article just recently on the whole "sperm counts are dropping OMG OMG OMG" headline we see every few months under the subheading "Medical Myths" - see here:
Skepticism should be applied liberally regardless of the subject matter. If you've not read "It's not News, it's FARK", it's worth a look.
Also, if you're going to make technical comments, please make sure you know what you're talking about (I'm looking at you, "an it guy"). To whit, this:
"Unfortunately tap water has lots of oestrogen because of all the women on the pill which adds oestrogen."
...is false. See here:
Birth control pills account for less than 1% of the estrogenic activity of tap water (though I do agree that it's not easy to get everything out via filtration).
"Don't think that bottled water helps. Being on the shelf for a while before you get it, the plasticisers (phthalates and others) which make plastic easy to shape/bend tend to leach into the bottled water."
Wrong again. There are no plasticisers in plastic water bottles. Disposable plastic water bottles are made out of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET). Yes, the word "phthalate" appears in them both. No, they are not the same thing. Besides the fact that some companies just sell you tap water in a bottle, what you actually have to worry about leaching from PET bottles is antimony, if you let them get really hot a while - see here:
Still, the conditions under which this happens are fairly extreme. Now, if you mean reusable plastic water bottles, ten years ago they would've been BPA polycarbonate, but since bisphenol A (BPA) has been implicated for its estrogenicity, polycarbonate has been replaced by a BPA-free copolyester. You can also find polyethylene used in some cases, and probably a few other materials in niche markets besides. If you though you were clever by going for a metal bottle, what you almost certainly got was a bottle whose interior is coated with a BPA-based epoxy that *does* leach BPA into water (in small quantities). If you're really worried about BPA and phthalates in your diet, stop eating so much packaged food and cook something with fresh ingredients:
That said, if you find yourself on a steady diet of Ramen, Hot Pockets and Mountain Dew (yes, I *did* have some CS training, thank you very much), guess what, BPA and phthalates may not be the greatest hazards you face. Case in point, we now sit on our *sses far more these days than we used to, and between that and the "Breakfast of Champions" described above, we're getting a lot fatter as a result. Studies have linked obesity and lack of physical activity (as well as overly strenuous workouts) to lower sperm counts. Be skeptical of those studies too, but be aware of their existence.
Finally, if you need an IT angle, consider the rise of internet pr0n (I know, "we have, we have"). Perhaps the poor wankers recruited for more recent studies in countries with more "freedom" (wink wink nudge nudge) were unable to wank as productively as a consequence. It is for this reason that we must ban all internet pr0n - think of the children(!!) that we're not having as a result.
PS - Actually, I think I've just made a case for distributing more internet pr0n to countries with too many people and not enough freedom. Apologies, that was an accident.
Your friendly neighborhood boffin,
Re: Really? Plasticised water bottles + no skepticism?
Actually, I think I've just made a case for distributing more internet pr0n to countries with too many people and not enough freedom. Apologies, that was an accident."
No need to apologise. In what name should I make out the research grant cheque? This is obviously a vital area of study which has been sadly neglected. Now, if we can just angle in a global warming/climate change vector, eg high friction levels causing heat production, you could be set for life.
Duh...did anybody check..
.. if the new sample set were wanking before the test?
Our water is being made toxic by estrogen in our diets. It's all part of the feminist agenda to nullify the male race.
It's not the Feminists
It's the commies, polluting our precious bodily fluids.
Everyone with any balls...
were killed in WWII, and the decendents are now reflecting this sad reality. I remember reading about this same thing happening in Russia too! ;)
Unreliable results
We have all had bad jobs, but my first was counting/assessing sperm . One thing I learnt is results are highly variable. You can give a count one day, and the results the next test could vary by 50%.
Length of time between when they last had sex, how long its in the incubator, if they are mixed properly before testing (the tend to glop together)
I would therefore take results with a pinch of salt (although it might be salty enough)

LAFAYETTE - Lafayette Consolidated Government has been named a recipient of the "Real Solutions" award by Hyland Software.
In late 2007, LCG began implementing OnBase interprise-wide document imaging software in an effort to open up more government documents for easy public viewing, to save money by eliminating redundant paper copies, and to provide more effective use of information-sharing internally.
With the implementation of OnBase, LCG has been able to give internal and external users (public citizens) the ability to view, via the LCG Website, Council-related documents such as agendas, resolutions, ordinances, memos, and other backup materials from its website in much greater detail than was previously available. Additionally, the entire process has been streamlined and has saved the Council staff many hours of labor-intensive work.
"This is part of an enterprise wide multi-year initiative being run by the IT and Administrative Service departments. To see recognition at this early stage is pretty exciting," said LCG CIO Keith Thibodeaux
Hyland honors its customers who use the ECM software solution in new ways to get notable results. "This year's winners show how the right technology can make a major difference during even the toughest of times," said Bill Priemer, CEO of Hyland Software.
"With this software, not only are we using technology for cost savings and efficiency, but we are also continuing our efforts to assist our citizenry in having instant access to information they need. We are honored that Hyland Software has recognized these efforts," said Lafayette City Parish President Joey Durel.

text: To everyone that asked about the blue and green chain mail pendant that I was wearing at populace - you can find them online from Etsy at the shop Utopia Armoury - I have two different pendants from here (the "flower" that I had on tonight and one that looks like a star). Link to the shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/UtopiaArmoury Link to the pendant I was wearing: http://www.etsy.com/listing/43615262/green-and-blue-japanese-flower-pendant They're quite reasonably priced, and I've been very pleased with both necklaces and with the service I got from the shop. I had a small issue with the clasp part of one of them, but it was easily fixed with a pair of pliers. From an Ansteorran standpoint, these could be kind of cool done in yellow and black, especially the star shaped ones, or perhaps in green and white for Loch-ness. (/groan) - Anne

GrubHub's Second Course: CEO Opens Up About Life After Its IPO
Matt Maloney thought the day his company went public would be one big celebration, but that didn't turn out to be the case.
Matt Maloney thought the day his company went public would be one big celebration, but that didn't turn out to be the case.
Some GrubHub users seem to have forgotten that the site is for food.
The GrubHub IPO really delivered. GrubHub stock opened at $40 a share on its first day of trading Friday, up from its IPO price of $26. The stock dipped down to the mid-$30 range in the first minutes of trading, before climbing back up. As of publication, it was up by about 50% from its IPO price. See also: 8 Tech Companies That May Go Public in 2014 The food delivery company filed paperwork to go public at the end of February after months of rumors.
GrubHub filed paperwork with the SEC on Friday for a $100 million public offering. The online food delivery company, which previously went by the name GrubHub Seamless, has applied to trade with the ticker "GRUB" on the New York Stock Exchange. See also: 8 Tech Companies That May Go Public in 2014 According to the filing, GrubHub posted profits of $6.7 million on revenue of $137 million in 2013.
Grubhub Seamless, a takeout and food ordering service, confidentially filed paperwork for an initial public offering, according to The Wall Street Journal. The IPO could come as soon as the first half of 2014, according to the report. A Grubhub Seamless spokesperson told Mashable that they "don't comment on speculation." See also: The 10 Biggest Food Crazes of 2013 Grubhub Seamless formed after a merger was finalized in August between Chicago-based Grubhub and New York-based Seamless.
Foursquare is teaming up with GrubHub Seamless, the company announced Thursday, meaning users are now able to order delivery from thousands of restaurants directly through Foursquare. A new GrubHub or Seamless icon will appear at the bottom of the Foursquare app when a user is viewing a participating restaurant.
Popular food delivery companies Seamless and GrubHub are merging, according to Bloomberg TV.
Mobile payment transactions are predicted to reach $1.3 trillion per year by 2017, and the restaurant industry appears ripe to scarf down a hefty chunk of that money flying around electronically. But while news about the mobile payments space has intensified lately -- Square's deal with Starbucks, Discover's nod to Google Wallet and Dunkin' Donuts's new gifting/payment app -- pay-by-phone services have yet to hit mainstream status as many consumers are still confused about their options.
Online food and restaurant delivery service GrubHub has raised an impressive $11 million in a Series C round of funding led by Benchmark Capital, an investment group that has also provided early funding for the likes of eBay, Twitter, Yelp and OpenTable. Online consumers can use GrubHub's service to view menus, coupons and reviews, and place orders from roughly 13,000 restaurants in the U.S. via its website and mobile apps (available for both the iPhone [iTunes link] and Android devices).
Nowadays you can get pretty much anything you want online, but what if you really want a burrito at three in the morning, or some hand-picked beets at three in the afternoon? There are a lot of ways to get good food out there, and the Internet is becoming an increasingly useful, and effective, way to find exactly what you want. This list can help you find new vendors and new meals that you might have otherwise missed.

The pilot reported he had performed two full stop takeoffs and landings and was on base leg for his third landing when the engine lost power. He left the landing gear extended, checked the fuel selector, but did not move it, and landed in a clearing. The left wing struck a tree and ruptured the fuel tank. Emergency personnel reported no smell of fuel at the accident site. Fuel was found in the right tank, but there was no evidence of fuel in the left tank, nor was there evidence of a fuel spill on the ground. In addition a small amount of fuel was found in the line from the engine driven fuel pump to the fuel control unit, and no fuel was found in the line from the fuel control unit to the fuel injection manifold. Fuel system continuity was confirmed and no evidence of blockage was found. The fuel injection unit was found to flow rich at most settings. No problems were found with the electric auxiliary fuel pump or the engine driven fuel pump. The pilot reported he departed with full tanks and could not explain why there was no evidence of a fuel spill from the ruptured fuel tank.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:
