Author and founder of Found Magazine, Davy Rothbart, will speak at Big Car Service Center on Saturday, Nov. 3 for the magazines 10th Anniversary Tour and launch of Rothbart's new book, "My Heart is an Idiot."
- Filed Under
It's been a decade since Davy Rothbart found an angry note on the windshield of his car one snowy evening in Chicago.
The note was written by Amber to Mario informing Mario that she hates him because he's lied to her. He said he was at work but his car is outside another girl's house. She ends the note with a reminder of just how much she hates him and "PS Page me later."
The problem was she left the note on Rothbart's car, not Mario's. ...

|Hemorrhoids (Piles) Treatment
How are haemorrhoids treated?
As a general rule:
Grade I haemorrhoids require medication only, but
Grades II to IV are best treated with surgery.
Common methods of treating protruding haemorrhoids involve:
tying them to cut off their blood supply (called ligation), or removing them completely.
The choice usually depends on their size. Depending on which method is used, the wounds are then left open to heal or stitched closed. In either case, their highly sensitive location means these wounds can be extremely painful for the patient. They may result in hospital stays of anywhere from three to ten days, and as long as four weeks' time off work. Because treatment and the consequences are often extremely uncomfortable, many patients previously preferred to live with the problem rather than see their doctor.
What's the alternative?
Stopiles™ Clinic offers a patient friendly, safe, fast and effective relief for all grades of hemorrhoids.
The Hemorrhoidal Artery Ligation and Recto Anal Repair Systems (HAL-RAR) – the virtually pain-free method for handling hemorrhoids.
Advantages of HAL and RAR
Since the introduction of these minimally-invasive methods, many tens of thousands of patients have been treated with them and excellent results achieved in terms of effectiveness, patient-friendliness and safety.
- Treatment of the three main symptoms – bleeding, itching and pain – with HAL
- Treatment of the prolapse with RAR
- Minimal pain
- Quick recovery
Furthermore, the procedure can be tailored to suit each individual patient.

Poised on the cusp of what appears to be a brilliant musical career, Conrad Tao has been called "prodigiously talented" and "a promising star rising above the horizon." While some might dismiss such praise as hyperbole, Tao's accomplishments have earned him the prestigious Avery Fisher Career Grant and a Presidential Scholar in the Arts award.
What makes such achievements more surprising still is that Tao just celebrated his 18th birthday in June. One of the toughest challenges emerging concert artists face is not just learning new repertoire, but committing difficult and often lengthy works to memory. Any pianist worth his salt should have a resume that includes at least two dozen concertos.
This week, Tao will add another piece to his already wide-ranging list of repertoire, Ernst von Dohnanyi's "Variations on a Nursery Tune." He'll be the featured guest artist when the Oklahoma City Philharmonic opens its 2012-13 classics series.
Tao will also perform Liszt's "Totentanz" ("Dance of the Dead") on this season opener. In addition to those featured works, Joel Levine has programmed "Autumn" from Glazunov's ballet "The Seasons" and Elgar's "Enigma Variations."
"I find 'Totentanz' to be lovely and ironic," Tao said recently. "A lot of the time you get the sense of maniacal glee that Liszt created by constructing and deconstructing the sacred Dies Irae. It's wonderfully blasphemous."
"Variations on a Nursery Tune," in contrast, carries the curious subtitle "For the enjoyment of humorous people and for the annoyance of others." It's a work that alternates between imposing orchestral statements and impish joy.
"It's hysterically funny and beautifully constructed," Tao said. "Dohnanyi's approach is certainly irreverent but he also includes very deliberate homages to (Johannes) Brahms, (Johann) Strauss and (Paul) Dukas.
"A lot of it is very grandiose and unconsciously over the top. The challenge comes in making it a patchwork affair in the best way possible. For lack of a more nuanced way of putting it, it's about gluing the whole thing together."
In addition to his demanding concert schedule, Tao is a full-time student who divides his time between Columbia University and The Juilliard School. He's also an accomplished violinist — he once played Mendelssohn's "Violin Concerto in E Minor" and the "Piano Concerto No. 1 in G Minor" on the same concert.

We're not sure who is to blame-overly made-up eighties aerobics queens, perhaps-but somewhere along the line, blue eye makeup got a pretty terrible reputation. Even the most dedicated beauty fanatics we know tend to stay away from these hues, fearing that a swipe of sky blue shadow will make them look more Smurfette than chic. We're happy to report that blue-hued makeup received a much-needed makeover this season, turning this beauty trend into an edgy, elegant look!
The second we noticed the spectrum of blue eye makeup on the spring runways, we had a hunch we had a breakout beauty look on our hands. After all, the trend runs the gamut from dramatic sapphire shadow to simple cerulean liner, so it's easily customizable. One simple way to work the color into your regular makeup routine is to simply create a smoky eye using navy blues, instead of charcoal or gray. Makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury came up with a strong example of this look for the Temperley London Spring 09 show. She used a number of MAC products, including Fluidline in Waveline ($15) and Eye Kohl in Smolder
($14.50) to create the stormy eye.
While the Temperley runway look obviously called for a liberal application of color, you can easily achieve a more wearable version. As Kate Hudson showed us at the Bride Wars premiere, instead of blending the shadow to the far edges of the eye, just confine it to the lids. By using less product, you'll still look sexy and fashion-forward, but in an appropriate way. (If the style's still too strong for you, simply swap out the midnight blue shadow for one that's lighter and more gray-based.) In addition to Tilbury's selections, we also like Revlon's amazing new Matte Eye Shadow in Riviera Blue ($4.99) or Make Up For Ever's Eyeshadow in True Blue 8 ($19).
If you prefer a bright pop of color to a subtle, soft, and smoky look-you're in luck too. Bold beauty mavens, we'd like to direct your attention to the high-impact aqua lids shown at Gucci. Created by the incomparable Pat McGrath using CoverGirl Eye Enhancers 1 Kit Eyeshadow in Turquoise Tempest ($3.47) and Bobbie Brown Mettallic Eye Shadow in Mint ($20), this statement-making style is definitely not for shrinking violets! If you're ready to try the over-the-top tropical eye, make sure balance the vivid shadow with lots of black mascara and liner too. McGrath used Prescriptives Softlining Pencil in Jet ($17.50) and a a lash-pumping mascara like Chanel's Cils a Cils Lash Building Mascara in Noir ($26) or Max Factor's 2000 Calorie Extreme Lash Plumper Mascara in Extreme Blackout
If you simply want the spirit of the Gucci look, without quite so much shadow, take a page from Agyness Deyn's beauty notebook. Seen here at the Louis Vuitton Tribute to Stephen Sprouse party, Deyn kept her electric blue liner far from her browbones, choosing to wear a smaller sweep in a modified cat-eye style. Sephora Brand's Jumbo Pencil Eyeliner in Blue 508Y ($5) will do the trick; we like L'Oreal's HIP Color Rich Cream Eyeliner in Teal ($12) and Midnight Blue ($12) very much too. Either way, we just hope you experiment with some new colors and give this look a chance. Who knows, you just might end up having a blue crush too!

Gregg Stewart | May 5, 2011 | Comments
Do's and don'ts for optimizing your business listing for local searchers.
There is one fundamental element that connects your ability to tap local, mobile, and social advertising: your business listing. That's right, the simple name, address, and telephone number information that you've had forever is key to ensuring customers and prospects can find you and learn what differentiates you from your competitors.
Seems simple, but inconsistent and inaccurate business listing information is a real problem for the local search business. In fact, the problem is so large in social media websites, that one in three abandoned their local search because they cannot find accurate information during the local search process. (Source: 2010 15miles/comScore Local Search Study.)
For many years the print phone book - white and yellow pages - was the most accurate source of listings. But with the breakup of the former Bell companies in 1984, that complete data asset has been diminished. Today, a single database of all local businesses that is completely accurate does not exist. The landscape exists of major data providers that begin with the phonebook data (now fragmented by regional and local providers):
While there are many other providers, but these three companies represent a significant mass of listings and distribution sources to which they push this information.
In addition to the database aggregators, a credible business listing management program needs to feed data directly to a number of sites that represent the largest consumer usage points, including:
These sites have facilities to allow single business and multi-location businesses to submit and update their business listings.
Before you say "Well, that sounds easy… take one source of you listing information and feed it to the above resources and voila, problem solved," let's explore some pitfalls to avoid:
Business name: Represent your business exactly as it appears in the offline world.
Do not:
Business location: Use a precise, accurate address to describe your business location.
Do not:
Website and phone: Provide a phone number that directly connects to your individual business location and a website that represents your individual business location.
Do not:
Categories: Provide at least one category from the suggestions provided in the form as you type. Categories should be specific, but brief.
Do not:
Custom attributes and description: Use the description and custom attribute fields to include additional information about your listing.
While many firms will say that bending the above rules will help you get a better position for your listings, I challenge that the big sites are well aware of these tactics and penalize listing optimization for violators that they detect. In effect, any temporary gain may be offset by long-term purgatory for your listings resulting in low position and hence low selection opportunity for your business.
I am often asked, "What is the formula of importance of the various elements that effect optimization of these listings?" While each situation differs based on listing and category competition or density, there is a hierarchy that can help guide your progression:
1. Accuracy and consistency of data across all listings
Because most engines rely on multiple data sources purchased from the aforementioned data aggregators, they merge/purge this information they currently have on a specific business (perhaps provided by the business directly). If the sources do not match, they simply cannot gauge the accuracy, resulting in an optimization downgrade. I have seen a data element as simple as a suite number being out of alignment negatively impact a listing's optimization.
2. Verification or claiming of listings
For single locations businesses, ensure you go to the major sites listed above and claim your business listing. Interestingly, Google has 25 million listings in its database, yet only about 6 million have been claimed.
3. Completeness of baseline data
When claiming your listing, fill out as much of the data points as you can for your business. Features for users we have observed being tested, such as Google Places "Only List Businesses Open Now" rely on the baseline hours for businesses that have been claimed in the database. Simply put, if you do not provide hours for your business, Google and other sites may assume you are not open and de-emphasize your listing.
4. Enrichment and recent updates
Videos, coupons, daily deals, etc., are terrific ways to keep your listing information fresh and provide users with a reason to come back to your listing and business more frequently. This again is a positive optimization point.
The Key to Life Is Timing and Pacing
When applying the above techniques, approach the process with a chess game mentality. Instead of dumping a ton of content and never revisiting your listings, once you have an accurate, consistent, and complete baseline of information on your business, dole it out overtime. Your local competitors will be catching up and at some point will begin adding content on their business. Hold back some content and vary it overtime so that you can move in iterative steps against the rise and fall of others business listings.
Get in the game, claim your listing and start the process of optimizing your business for the changing local search landscape.

Posted on Dec 20, 2006
The Pentagon has asked the White House for an additional $99.7 billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, for a total increase of $50 billion over last year's record spending. According to the Congressional Research Service, military spending on Iraq, Afghanistan and other operations has exceeded $500 billion so far.

I guess the little brain who posted this at Truthdig does not read, until it comes time to post. I read an interview on this site two weeks ago with Dennis Kucinich about this, and read a MSNBC story along with a La Times story that was posted on this site. To the person who put this up read more, think more. I expect more from Truthdig.

I'm sure they need more money; the old bills are probably getting a little ragged about now.
'Iraq was awash in cash. We played football with bricks of $100 bills'
This defense build-up, little of which will go to actually fight terrorists, and Bush's disasters in Iraq and Afghanistan, should total up to much more than the $500 billion the Pentagon is officially requesting—I'd think a cool trillion would be more accurate.
Well, what the hell—it's not their money.

How many of those will be going to Cheney's Halliburton pockets ?
Gates = Rumsfeld #2 and don't expect any good news from him.

Let's get the additional war funds from the Billionaire contributers to Bushes campaigns and from all of the war profiteers who made money in Iraq.

An unlikely media impresario
It's been about a month since the launch of "Grantland," a new ESPN digital magazine fronted by columnist Bill Simmons.
"Grantland" is a homage to legendary early 20th century sportswriter Grantland Rice and the site's spare design harkens back to simpler times.
It's also an outlet for Simmons to publish his vision for news and pop culture, tapping new voices that mostly are a breath of fresh air from the usual suspects, aka East Coast media and major metro sports columnists. (I say mostly because longtime Boston newspaper columnist Mike Barnacle has made at least one appearance).
Simmons is ground zero among these fresh sports voices, building his own fan base through a sheer hustle and bravado. His backdoor route to prominance led to ESPN.com's Page 2, ESPN The Magazine and later as author of a best-selling book on the NBA. His schtick is that of an Everyman, with a dash of National Lampoon. It's hard to take him seriously sometimes -- and he's been in more than one tiff with ESPN over creative differences -- but the popularity of his book, Twitter feed and sports podcast sent a clear message to ESPN that they had a strong personal brand to build around.
Which brings us to "Grantland," a daily mix of sports news, commentary and pop culture. Sports scores and daily highlights this is not, and that's a good thing. As Simmons writes in "Welcome to Grantland":
"We had four goals for this site. The first was to find writers we liked and let them do their thing. The second was to find sponsors we liked and integrate them within the site — so readers didn't have to pay for content, and also, so we didn't have to gravitate toward quantity over quality just to chase page views. The third was to take advantage of a little extra creative leeway for the right reasons and not the wrong ones.12 And the fourth was to hire the right blend of people — mostly young, mostly up-and-comers, all good people with good ideas who aren't afraid to share them."
The writing is deep and rich, has attitude and taps into that vein of "this is what people like me talk about in bars." Simmons was quick to hire Chuck Klosterman, best known as an unpredictable "gonzo-style" music journalist who has some serious sports chops, and the pair ensure the bar on coverage is high.
Some things have been predictable, including lists ("The 25 Least Valuable Players in the NFL," "The Sports Book Hall of Fame") and -- you knew this was coming -- a feature on "The National," an ill-fated attempt at a national sports daily 20 years ago.
But this is a publication worth watching. Things that caught my eye include:
- One ad per page, in line with the site's mission to integrate high-dollar sponsors rather than ads jammed everywhere.
- Footnotes to the right of stories. I love this idea, and think this has legs on sites everywhere (if only most content-management systems were so flexible). Remember that No. "12" including in Simmon's mission statement above? That's a link to this footnote:
"12. For instance, I dropped an F-bomb earlier and it felt pretty organic, you have to admit. If I dropped a second F-bomb to celebrate dropping the first F-bomb? Probably a little gratituous. Then again, fuck it."
- Surprises, such as "On Whiskey and Grease," a touching story that has nothing to do with sports.
Simmons is off to a good start, and has ambitious expansion plans, including sports and pop culture blogs, story comments, a sports podcast network and a quarterly publication. As Simmons writes, "You figure out what works, you figure out what doesn't work, you keep moving. That's the next nine months for us. Eventually, we will evolve into what we are. Whatever the hell that is."
The businessman in me wonders how he'll make such an eclectic mix work, but we'll be gladly hanging on for what will be an interesting ride.

Video: Video shows couple slapping, shaking baby
GREELEY - A Greeley couple has been charged with child abuse after video of them slapping and shaking their 1-year-old baby surfaced this week.
Video obtained by 9NEWS shows 21-year-old Reba Doyle slapping her baby three separate times, while her 23-year-old boyfriend, Scott Liles, shakes the baby for crying.
Greeley police say a friend recorded the incident. The couple are both facing misdemeanor child abuse charges.
"It's horrifying that people would just do that," Charity Bailey said.
Bailey saw the video and called police. Thursday, she showed the video to 9NEWS.
"She turns around and just smacks her so hard in the jaw, that you can hear it. [Doyle] tells her, 'That's enough!" Bailey said, describing the video.
Her friend, who had been sitting on the couch with Doyle and Liles, took the video.
"She brought the video over the other night. I saw it, and I immediately called the cops," Bailey said.
The arrest affidavit says that Bailey's friend, Amanda Sanders, had noticed since summertime that Doyle had been hitting her baby.
According to the affidavit, Sanders went to social services with the allegations but was turned down for lack of evidence.
So, Sanders recorded the video in September while she was sitting on the couch with the couple and the baby.
"It's heartbreaking to watch. I think that it's probably the best word to describe this," Greeley Police Sgt. Susan West said. "In this case, it ends up being a misdemeanor child abuse charge, but it could end up being much more serious."
The affidavit says the couple initially denied the abuse allegations to police but quickly recanted when they were shown the video.
"She stated she could not even go in the same room as her child the rest of that day, and she felt horrible about it and has completely changed her ways since then," the arrest affidavit reads.
Charity Bailey says she has no regrets about showing police the video.
"What's going to happen if nobody does anything? If everybody minds their own business?" Bailey said. "Nobody can speak for that child, so somebody has to."
The Medical Director from the Kempe Center, who deals with child abuse cases, says 1 in every 150 kids who are shaken will suffer from brain damage.
"If you did that sort of hitting to someone else it would be criminal assault and it should be criminal assault on a child even if it is your own child," Dr. Desmond Runyan said.
Runyan says the appropriate thing to do is to pick up the baby, give it some attention or move it to its bed and set it down.
"Children at that age can't possibly learn a lesson. Telling them to stop crying is worthless. Slapping them on the face is just going to make them cry more," Runyan said.
If someone you know might be on the verge of losing control - please help point them to the resources on this website:http://www.calmacryingbaby.org/

Prince Gives Kim Kardashian The Boot
February 8, 2011 11:02 AM
Everybody is talking about how Prince kicked Kim Kardashian off the stage for having no rhythm during his performance at Madison Square Garden last night.
Embarrassing!!! And to think she made it through a few weeks on "Dancing With The Stars". SMH.
Kim K said that this was the most humiliating moment of her career.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
euphemistic said:
Yes, I can participate so closely with the guys in porn vids that I can feel what they feell I think my mind enters into their recorded fantasy at some point and level of arousal IF I recognize the actor's genuine arousal. I can tell it's happening when the sound of the vid changes and surrounds me. Then I'm noticing everything going on closely as if I was there. I shut out reality for a while. Not just being f__ked or sucked, but everything, kissing, glances, gestures, etc. it's like a erotic day dream but it's someone else's daydream. Even so I learn things about my desires doing this and it sometimes segues into a persona eroticl daydream. I'm starting to have the personal ones more often recently so maybe I'll not need the outside arousal of porn. But good porn is a guaranteed arousal for me. The only problem is finding good porn requires me to scan through dozens of horrible porn. :))

"Mirror neurons work again." Canacan, I got your point the first time you made it! Please won't you just let me state my opinion? Too many guys are leaving here as it is!

VO2GoGo | May | Hollywood
Trevor Algatt
Sunday, May 19, 2013 from 5:00 PM to 11:30 PM (PDT)
Event Details
The VO2GoGo curriculum is an amazing series of over 30 live classes, building your skills in voiceover categories and the technology you need to master, giving you the tools to manage a thriving, digital-friendly voiceover career.
VO2GoGo live classes have won backstage's Readers' Choice Award as Best VO Classes and Teacher for the last four years in a row.
Every month, a new set of skills is explored and mastered, in a total of 4 classes, all in one day-long intensive.
This month's classes:
- Voicing IVR and Phone Prompts
- Creating Your Own VO Content
- Mastering VO Marketing
- BONUS: VO Workout Class
Details on each class:
Voicing IVR and Phone Prompts
There are over 10 billion phones in the world – one and one-half for every man, woman and child on the planet. 70% are business phones, and all phones have some sort of voice mail or outbound messaging associated with them. In the most profitable category of voicework in many portfolios, and the most plentiful of work categories, you'll find a largely hidden market of work.
The skills you'll get:
- why this skill is the most lucrative in the 21st century
- the type of voice needed for phone prompt work – it's not what you think!
- how the marketplace for IVR work has shifted, and how you can take advantage
- why this union-covered work is so lucrative
- and more
Creating Your Own VO Content
Hire your inner voice...and entrepeneur. Why wait for someone else to hire you? You've got a voice, and you're already in charge of You, Inc, so put yourself to work, and collect all the profits. Create your own content, piggy back on events in the news, big movie releases and wake up every morning with money in the bank - from people buying your audio products.
The skills you'll get:
- watching production calendars for potential tie-ins
- the quickest way to create audio products
- identifying and marketing to potential buyers over the web
- how to build a library of long-tail product that sells forever
- and more
- Between Class 2 and Class 3, there will be a one-hour walkaway lunch. -
Mastering VO Marketing
Become agile with the markets you reach, tradition and brand spanking new. Who would have thought that IVR, or apps, or digital talking outdoor signage, or e-books would all be vibrant markets in which to sell your VO skills? Or that any one of those might end up being the largest category of income for many VO artists? Learn how in this vital class.
The skills you'll get:
- identifying the usual suspects: radio, television and other traditional markets
- the unusual suspects: digital products, IVR, training, toys, GPS devices and more
- how to target a demo specifically to a particular market, for little or no cost
- pricing individual and package rates for the strangest of markets
- and more
Bonus On-Mic VO Workout Class
Each day-long intensive will conclude with Participants adding one or more pieces of work (time permitting) in front of the microphone, with direction and adjustment from the instructor. The Auditors will watch and make note of the adjustments given, and each Participant will receive the MP3 file of this (and the other) recordings made during the day.
The skills you'll get:
- work with alternative copy from the day's content
- bring your own audition or workout copy
- be directed and adjusted, and recorded on mic
- deepen your knowledge of self-direction and iterative improvement
- and more
Copy provided? You bet.
In this intensive, all students, Auditors and Participants alike, will be provided with lecture notes and VO copy. Participants will be directed and recorded three times throughout the day; Auditors will observe that process. The recordings will be given to each Participant to use as mini-starter demos (in advance of completed professional demos), showing their mastery of the particular category of voicework performed.
Explanation of roles in class
What is a Participant?
Participants receive lecture material, notes, engage in questions and answers regarding the course material, and during the recording work, they perform on-mic and are directed during class. They also receive the MP3 files of their work.
What is an Auditor?
Auditors receive lecture material, notes, engage in questions and answers regarding the course material, and during the recording work, they observe the work of Participants as they perform on-mic and are directed during class.

December 17,2008 (Santa Cruz, CA)- The Syndicate announced today that AMA Superbike Series regular, Ben Thompson, has renewed his contract with KWS Motorsports to compete in the new Daytona Sportbike class.
The young rider from Anchorage, Alaska recently completed his first full AMA season with the Millennium Technologies sponsored KWS team.
"Both the team and I learned a lot last year and had some really good races. We all wanted to continue and carry that momentum into next season," said Thompson. "The team manager, Chip Spalding and Murph (The Syndicate's Michael Murphy) have been talking since mid season last year about re-signing me. The way this off-season has been going, with teams and manufacturers pulling out, I was wondering if I was going to be sitting home next season. Now, I'm continuing with Millennium/KWS--racing a new brand of motorcycle, in a new class, under the lights at the Daytona 200. I can't wait!"
"Ben is extraordinarily talented. He has a great work ethic and rides the bike to 100% of its capability every time he gets on it. From the beginning we knew we wanted to work with Ben for more than one year," said KWS Team Manager Chip Spalding. "We are extremely excited to have Ben back!"

"My children went to Harmony Montessori, and loved it. They felt safe — safe to explore boundaries, safe to express complex feelings– they felt nurtured, and they felt at home. Most preschools will teach your children the alphabet, numbers, basic math, some social skills. Few preschools will teach your children to be at peace with who they are. Harmony Montessori is one of those schools." - Lori (a former parent)
"I love the people at Harmony to help us be healthy and people who care about us and love us for our hearts" -Piper (a Harmony student for 2.5 years currently attending Earl Boyles Elementary going into second grade as of Fall '11)
"I came to feel that Harmony was a family for us and the community we established-teachers, kids, administration and parents-we all worked for the greater goal of learning in a creative way with compassion and understanding" -Brandy
"I want to be a teacher because I loved my teacher at Harmony." -Ava (Graduated from Harmony in 2009. She attends The International School in the Spanish immersion program.)
"Harmony provided a warm, loving, nurturing environment while also providing an exceptional educational program. Ava developed new skills and gained confidence in her abilities. We loved the school and we all mourned when it was time to move on." -Tracie

Q: My son is a perpetual benchwarmer on his soccer team. I'd like him to have more time on the field. Should I ask?
A: Yes. Talk to the coach–after you make sure your son wants more time and is OK with your stepping in. At the meeting, say how much your boy enjoys the team. Add that he;s hoping to play more, and ask how he can work toward that goal. Some coaches just won't use weak players: if this is one, find another team.

Police activity in a neighborhood near Centerville Elementary caused Gwinnett County Public Schools officials to heed the advice of law enforcement and temporarily lock down the school on Wednesday morning.
Gwinnett County Police Cpl. Jake Smith said patrol units looked for carjacking suspects near the school, and a suspect was caught about a mile from the school. District spokesman Jorge Quintana said the soft lockdown, which lasted for about an hour, was a precaution after police recommended it.
Quintana said the district works closely with police agencies to ensure the safety of students and staff members. The school, located in unincorporated Snellville, resumed a regular day following the lockdown.
The lockdown was the second known lockdown in the district, and third in the county this school year.
A suspected gunman seen near a soccer field by students at Hopkins Elementary in September temporarily caused the Lilburn school to lock down. A shooting incident last month in Buford caused Buford City Schools to lock down for about 45 minutes.

Fundraise for YoungMinds
Taking part in fundraising on behalf of YoungMinds is a great way to have fun, raise vital funds and improve awareness of the importance of young people's mental health and emotional wellbeing.
"I suffer with general anxiety disorder (GAD) which means I can feel an excessive, uncontrollable and often irrational worry about everyday things. This can make me act inappropriately, get angry, feel scared and worried a great deal of the time. I know what it is like to feel upset, trapped and alone with scary feelings. I want to help other people and their families who don't have help and understanding like me."

A Defeat for "Intelligent Design"
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
- Online NewsHour Special Report: Science Reports
- Aug. 5, 2005: Two professors discuss teaching intelligent design alongside evolution in public schools.
- Nov. 9, 1999: A report on the the debate over teaching evolution and intelligent design in Kansas.
- April 21, 1998: What should teachers turn to, biology or the Bible? Four science educators debate the issue.
MARGARET WARNER: Today's ruling by Federal Judge John Jones came in the nation's first case testing the constitutional merits of offering students intelligent design as an alternative to evolution.
Here to talk about the case out of Dover, Pennsylvania, and today's ruling, is Laurie Goodstein, who's been covering the trial for The New York Times.
And Laurie, welcome.
LAURIE GOODSTEIN: Thank you.
MARGARET WARNER: First of all, briefly remind us of the facts of this case, how it came about.
LAURIE GOODSTEIN: The Dover school board thought they were doing something very modest when they voted to read students a very brief statement at the start of their ninth grade biology class saying that there are reasons to question the theory of evolution. There are gaps in the theory and that there are alternatives that the students should look at including intelligent design. And it referred them to a textbook called "Of Pandas and People" that they put in the high school library.
MARGARET WARNER: And this was pushed by what, a majority of the school board members?
LAURIE GOODSTEIN: Yes, it was a majority of the school board members, led in particular by two school board members who had had a record of advocating teaching creationism at school board meetings.
MARGARET WARNER: And there was a six-week trial. Both sides called all kinds of experts. What did it focus on? What were they arguing about?
LAURIE GOODSTEIN: Well, the trial treated not only the specific situation in Dover but also the merits of intelligent design. There were scientists on both sides who argued for and against including intelligent design. The question was whether it should be taught as a science in a science class.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. So, sum up the gist of the judge's ruling. In other words, he found this was unconstitutional on what grounds?
LAURIE GOODSTEIN: Well, the ruling is a very strong rebuke to advocates of intelligent design who have tried to put distance between their theory and creationism. They say that their theory is not religion, that it is a science.
But the judge ruled that there was really no way to see it other than as a re-labeling, he called it, of creationism; that it had historical ties as a movement to creationism and creation science; and that the Supreme Court has already ruled that it's unconstitutional to teach creationism because it's religion.
MARGARET WARNER: At one point right in the conclusion, even though this isn't a big long decision — it's only four pages — he accuses some of the members of the school board of actually lying. What was he referring to?
LAURIE GOODSTEIN: Right. He said that two members of the school board had tried to cover up their motive, that they had religious motives, and that they in part lied about how the textbooks, "Pandas and People" textbooks came to be in the high school library.
The truth was that they had raised money in a church. And one of the school board members had then kind of laundered the money through his father who purchased the textbooks and put them in the high school library.
And they had not been honest in their depositions. And the judge made a point of saying that he thought it was ironic that people who, you know, said they had religious motives would lie on the stand.
MARGARET WARNER: Now most of these original school board members were voted out last year, right?
LAURIE GOODSTEIN: Right, right, just last month. There was an election. And it was a very surprising result. Dover is majority Republican. The challengers to the school board that had voted for intelligent design were running on the Democratic line. And yet the Democrats won.
And these were people who had come in saying they opposed the "intelligent design" policy and would not have voted for it themselves. And the intelligent design proponents were voted out.
MARGARET WARNER: And so the assumption is that this new school board will not appeal this ruling. But have they actually said so? Has a decision been made?
LAURIE GOODSTEIN: The decision hasn't been made, but they have said before today, before seeing the ruling that they were inclined to abide by whatever the judge ruled.
And they, given that they are opposed to intelligent design, they really have no motive to appeal.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Laurie Goodstein of the New York Times, thanks so much.
LAURIE GOODSTEIN: Thank you.
MARGARET WARNER: Now, reaction to the decision from two lawyers involved in the case. Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel at the Thomas More Law Center, which handled the case for the Dover area school district. And Eric Rothschild is partner at Pepper Hamilton, LLP, which represented the plaintiffs; that is, the parents who objected to what the school board had done. Welcome to you both.
MARGARET WARNER: Let's just start with your reaction to the ruling. Mr. Rothschild.
ERIC ROTHSCHILD: Thanks for having me on. This ruling was really a complete victory and a great vindication for these parents who stood up for their children in their community for their right to practice their own religious beliefs without intrusion by the school board, government actors, and both sides asked the judge to decide whether intelligent design is science or religion and creationism. And the judge clearly found it is a particular religious view; it is a form of creationism and it is not science. So we're elated with the ruling.
MARGARET WARNER: And, Mr. Thompson, I imagine you feel the opposite.
RICHARD THOMPSON: Well, yes. We think there's a lot of the parts of that decision that are very troubling. First of all, we have to keep in mind that this was a one-minute statement where the phrase "intelligent design" was mentioned twice.
MARGARET WARNER: Let me interrupt you. You're talking about what the teacher was required to tell the ninth grade biology students.
RICHARD THOMPSON: Right. Right. It was a one-minute statement that was read to the biology students just before they took up the section on evolution. And the phrase "intelligent design" was mentioned twice in that one-minute statement.
The policy of the school board went on to say that only evolution would be taught, that the students would be tested on evolution, that teachers were prohibited from either teaching intelligent design or creationism or presenting their views or religious views of the school board.
And yet through this incoherent establishment clause jurisprudence that we have now, the court found that this rose to the level of a violation of the establishment clause.
Our founding fathers would really be astounded that the establishment clause that they drafted would be used to knock down this very modest attempt by the school board to introduce the controversy that is surrounding the theory of intelligent design versus evolution.
MARGARET WARNER: Mr. Rothschild, based on your reading of the opinion, how did the judge get to where he arrived, just in a constitutional sense?
ERIC ROTHSCHILD: Well, this intelligent design proposition has historical precedence in the legal arena, and courts have previously found that teaching creationism, it is unconstitutional. One of the things —
MARGARET WARNER: You're talking about the Supreme Court, itself, has found that?
ERIC ROTHSCHILD: That's correct as well as other lower courts. And what we presented to the judge — and I think he found particularly compelling — is that intelligent design really makes the same arguments as creationism or creation science.
In fact, the textbook "Of Pandas and People," which students are directed to in that statement was written as a creationist book and only changed the terms but none of the concepts after the Supreme Court ruled that creation science is unconstitutional.
So it's really exactly what courts have dealt with in the past. In a sense there's nothing new here except for that creationists have put a new name on the same proposition.
MARGARET WARNER: Explain how —
Just a minute, excuse me, Mr. Thompson. Let me get Mr. Rothschild to explain one thing.
Explain how you demonstrated to the court that this "Of Pandas and People" that the students were referred to was really a creationist document as you say?
ERIC ROTHSCHILD: We subpoenaed the publisher of "Of Pandas and People," an organization called the Foundation for Thought and Ethics.
And what we found and what the judge exclaimed his astonishment about in this opinion is that the drafts of "Pandas" used the word "creation" or "creationism" or "creation science" in the same places that the published version of "Pandas" uses the term "intelligent design."
And we also demonstrated to the judge that the timing of the change in terminology in the drafts coincided with that Supreme Court decision, the Edwards case, which found that creation science is unconstitutional.
MARGARET WARNER: Okay.
ERIC ROTHSCHILD: We also presented evidence to the judge that there's really no science behind this concept of "intelligent design."
MARGARET WARNER: Mr. Thompson, did that — getting all those drafts of "Of Pandas and People" into the court record, does that make it a pretty uphill climb for you to then argue that, no, this is really a scientific textbook?
RICHARD THOMPSON: Well, first of all, we have to understand that the school board had no knowledge of the various drafts, the various manuscripts that had been prepared prior to the time that they saw the final version of "Of Pandas and People."
In fact, the plaintiffs' own witness said that it would be unfair to attribute to the school board various drafts of "Of Pandas and People," which the school board never even saw.
Secondly, this idea that "creationism" is an old concept that the courts have already decided on flies in the face of the testimony of two credible scientists who basically testified, subject to rigorous cross-examination, that what they were basing their theory of intelligent design was scientific data, empirical data, that they saw in their labs, the complex biological structures that they viewed they concluded could not have been caused by Darwin's theory of natural selection acting on random mutation; that these complex biological systems were there because they served a purpose. And that's the reason that they said it is an intelligent design.
Now that is different than creationism, which goes to the Bible or Genesis or some holy scripture and makes the conclusions based upon that holy scripture.
MARGARET WARNER: All right.
RICHARD THOMPSON: These were conclusions based upon scientific evaluation of the data that these credible scientists saw.
MARGARET WARNER: Okay. I would like to ask you a follow-up question on that point.
RICHARD THOMPSON: Sure.
MARGARET WARNER: In, again, his conclusion, the judge said he wasn't saying that intelligent design shouldn't be discussed, debated and studied in the schools; it just didn't belong in the science class, as if to suggest that it might belong in social studies class or comparative religions. What would be wrong with that?
RICHARD THOMPSON: Well, first of all it's a scientific theory and therefore it's proper to be in the science class. After all, all the Dover area school board did was make students aware that there is a controversy in this area and that there is an alternative theory, and that's the theory of intelligent design.
This judge should not place himself in the position of determining which scientific theory is valid and which is not. A thousand decisions is not going to change the law of gravity, nor is a thousand judicial decisions going to determine whether intelligent design is a valid theory. That should be left up to the scientists. It should be left up to the debate that the scientific community was involved with.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Let me get Mr. Rothschild back in here. Do you want to respond to that, sir?
ERIC ROTHSCHILD: Sure. The scientists that Mr. Thompson is referring to don't study intelligent design in the labs; they don't test intelligent design; they don't write articles for peer review scientific journals about intelligent design, and that's because intelligent design is at its core a religious proposition that there was a supernatural creator who caused biological life.
Their lead expert, Dr. Behe, testified that intelligent design is more believable the more you believe in God. And I don't know of any other scientific proposition that fits that description.
There's really — there's no controversy in the scientific community. There's a controversy that has been created in the public arena by the intelligent design movement itself. But science isn't debating evolution versus intelligent design. That's just —
MARGARET WARNER: Hold on. Just let me follow up with Mr. Rothschild for a minute. Then I'll get back to you, Mr. Thompson.
Let's pitch forward here now and talk about the significance of this ruling. The fact that, Mr. Rothschild, this is just a district — it's a federal court in the central district of Pennsylvania; we've already heard that the school board is probably not going to appeal so it's not going to go up to a higher court. How much impact does it have?
ERIC ROTHSCHILD: You're right that it's not binding precedent on other jurisdictions such as Kansas or Ohio, where these controversies are already flaring up. But it's extremely persuasive precedent.
The judge took pains to say, you know, both sides presented the case for and against intelligent design. A lot of resources were expended including by the court. And it would be a waste to play over and over again this controversy when he has examined it so closely.
And I would hope that other school districts, seeing what Dover has gone through and the results of this opinion, would think carefully about whether they really want to subject their schools and their communities to this when, you know, the theory of evolution is so soundly accepted and corroborated and intelligent design really has no science behind it.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. And, Mr. Thompson, where does — your censure was very much — in fact, the judge even says you helped instigate this. I don't know if that's true or not, but where do you go from here? Where is the intelligent design movement go from here?
RICHARD THOMPSON: That comment made by the judge shows where he's at because there is no evidence that we instigated it. In fact, we did not instigate it.
What Mr. Rothschild is saying about intelligent design was said about the "big bang" theory back in the 1920s.
MARGARET WARNER: But where do you go from here legally?
RICHARD THOMPSON: As Mr. Rothschild indicated, there is no precedential value to what the judge said.
What I would suggest is if school boards are interested in intelligent design, they should read the transcript of the expert testimony, and from there go on to determine whether intelligent design really is a scientific theory or not.
And I think they will find that we had credible scientists like Michael Behe and Scott Minnich, who talked about the bacterial flagellum, the blood clotting cascade and other biological systems that could not have been explained by Darwin's theory of evolution and that a valid theory is intelligent design.
MARGARET WARNER: Sir, very briefly, is there another case we should be looking at?
RICHARD THOMPSON: There are several cases out there that are percolating. There are different fact scenarios. We have some teachers who want to teach intelligent design regardless of what the school board says or does. In fact, this goes back to 1925 —
MARGARET WARNER: And, sir, I'm sorry. We don't have time to go back to 1925. I am out of time. And I thank you both very much.
RICHARD THOMPSON: My pleasure.

Injury Report: Ponikarovsky, Gionta, Salvador At Practice Thursday
In one of the better signs the Devils have had recently, the team saw three of its injured players participate in practice Thursday.
Corey GriffinThe Devils have been pretty nonchalant about the injuries to Gionta and Salvador, so their participation isn't that surprising. However, it was looking like Ponikarovsky might not make an appearance until the team returned home from Florida. We'll have to see what Pete DeBoer says after practice (the team is running a double session after two days off) about their status for tomorrow's game against the Lightning, but I'd guess at least Gionta and Salvador are likely to play. We'll see about Poni, who won't make some massive impact but will help the Devils stretch out their lines like DeBoer prefers.
