FLASH FRIDAY: Cronenberg's A DANGEROUS METHOD
Today we are continuing our series on theatrically-related 2012 Oscar hopefuls with a look at the just-released trailer for David Cronenberg's new film A DANGEROUS METHOD starring Keira Knightley, Michael Fassbender, Viggo Mortensen and Vincent Cassel. Based on a play about the friendship, lives and studies of scientists/philosophers/doctors Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung and how it pertains to a female patient, Sabina, penned by DANGEROUS LIASONS and ATONEMENT scribe Christopher Hampton, titled THE TALKING CURE, Hampton also penned the screenplay for this film adaptation, which also credits John Kerr's examination of Freud and Jung's studies and personal lives, A MOST DANGEROUS METHOD. Given the films R-rating, Cronenberg will evidently be given full reign to follow the story's explorations of the dark recesses of human psychology and how it manifests in our sexuality. While Cronenberg has repeatedly proven his prowess with intimate character studies in recent years with his superb string of dramas such as SPIDER starring Ralph Fiennes, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE with Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello and, most recently, the unforgettable EASTERN PROMISES with Mortensen and Naomi Watts, A DANGEROUS METHOD is his first bid for Oscar gold this decade and for the first time in his forty year career he may finally be awarded for his cinematic legacy given this perfect storm of his idiosyncratic cinematic sensibilities married to charismatic lead performances by four of the hottest names in drama telling a story that only Cronenberg could tell this well - with a screenplay by one of the great playwrights and screenwriters of our age, as well. If the early reviews from the Venice Film Festival, where the film premiered earlier this week, and spellbinding images and scenes on display in the new trailer for the film are any indication of what we can expect from A DANGEROUS METHOD onscreen, this could very well be the film to sweep all the statuettes at the Oscars.
A History of Promise, Fulfilled
Some directors cannot be confined to one genre or style. Some directors, too, cannot even be defined in any way at all. While David Cronenberg may very well be known to cult film fans for his many horror and science fiction features in the 1970s and 1980s - among them: RABID starring Marilyn Chambers, THE BROOD with Oliver Reed and Samantha Eggars, THE DEAD ZONE with Christopher Walken, DEAD RINGERS with Jeremy Irons, SCANNERS, VIDEODROME with James Woods and Debbie Harry, and, perhaps his most well-known film to date, the remake of THE FLY with Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis - it is with his late-career cinematic entrees that he has crafted a tone, style, rhythm, pace and genre all his own. Or, one could ask: were all the films in his portfolio collectively always going to lead to this sophistication were he to continue filmmaking into his sixties (and, soon, seventies), as he has? While he certainly has not pumped out film after film as he did during his hot streaks in the past, the commitment to storytelling and character development above all else in the aforementioned masterful triptych of SPIDER, A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE and EASTERN PROMISES displays a level of theatricality, ambition and richness that is rarely, if ever, achieved in American film anymore. Cronenberg is a true movie master and his cool, cerebral edge is what gives these late-era entries in his canon such a voyeuristic power - an element his films have always capitalized upon - from the veritable visionary of voyeurism in film himself, to stand alongside fellow masters like David Lynch, Brian DePalma and Alfred Hitchcock (and, yes, I am saying all four of their names in the same breath). The observer is always a character in a Cronenberg film, just as the audience is always aware of itself and the role it plays in the drama in a theatrical context at a live show, Broadway or beyond. Considering the subject matter at the heart of A DANGEROUS METHOD, we could be in for some of the best stage scenes outside of 42nd St. thanks to Hampton's words and Cronenberg's guidance of the stalwart actors employing and embodying them. We shall certainly see!
Given all of the above, it should come as no surprise whatsoever, then, that Cronenberg has even begun directing stage ventures in recent years, the most significant being THE FLY, which was recently adapted into a full-length opera by Cronenberg himself along with constant cinematic composorial collaborator, Howard Shore. Like many of the best Hollywood directors - Mike Nichols and Robert Altman being foremost examples - Cronenberg brings the best of the stage with him in each creation, a feat achieved mostly through casting and the creative teams he creates to build each film and, then, through his intense attention to detail insofar as character and story elements are concerned - and, of course, how those words, thoughts and emotions are conveyed on celluloid. With each new cinematic endeavor, the slick style and cerebral nature of Cronenberg's compositions remains intact, yet the subject matter comes alive and pops in a way few directors can seem to make happen these days - and, furthermore, it always feels real. Sometimes, too real.
There is an almost scientific observational aspect to each Cronenberg film, particularly evident in his films from M. BUTTERFLY on, and, given the subject matter of A DANGEROUS METHOD and its dealings with doctors, patients and the unknown universe of the human body and mind, a better director could not have been chosen for this difficult job. After all, A DANGEROUS METHOD marks Cronenberg's first film foray in over four years - although his next feature, COSMOPOLIS, starring Robert Pattinson, is currently shooting and set for a mid-2012 release - and this forthcoming cinematic combination has Cronenberg poised to potentially deliver yet another late-career one-two knock-out drag-out punch to follow the enviable double-blow of VIOLENCE/PROMISES.
Lest we forget when considering the concise and delicately unraveling drama at the core of A DANGEROUS METHOD and slipping into the sensuous and stirring visuals of the trailer that Cronenberg is no stranger to actual theatrical fare onscreen in his incredibly varied career, either, having directed the sensitive and evocative stage adaptation of David Henry Hwang's acclaimed transvestism meditation, M. BUTTERFLY, with a staggering lead performance by Jeremy Irons, so to cast modern-day actors with big onscreen personalities and stage chops to spare such as Mortensen, Fassbender, Knightley and Cassel continues on a great Cronenberg tradition of powerful, impressively detailed character studies that have a lasting impact long after you have experienced the film that contains them. I mean, who will ever forget Judy Davis's junkie ecstatically injecting herself with a syringe through the heart in NAKED LUNCH? Or, Oliver Reed's blustery and bravado-laden turn in THE BROOD? Or, James Woods' best performance to date as the protagonist of the erotically bizarre and all-too-prescient VIDEODROME? Particularly if we consider the compelling theatrics and over-the-toppery implicit in performances such as Jeremy Irons in dual roles chewing the scenery with delectability as only he can as the drug-addled twin surgeons with serious kink issues at the center of DEAD RINGERS; or William Hurt's ten heart-stopping and searing minutes in A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE - it becomes amply apparent to see that Cronenberg is an actor's director, through and through; first and foremost. With hot talents such as the foursome at the heart of A DANGEROUS METHOD, Cronenberg could very well have a box office hit on his hands, as well - something not even Freud or Jung probably would or could have ever predicted happening with a film about their lives. Sure, elements of the true-life story will surely be glamorized, but the vivid veracity of the vivaciousness and verve at the heart of humanity and how the study of the most seemingly repellant aspects of it can yield an understanding of, compassion for and acquirement of knowledge resulting from that experience. Perhaps the film will do the same.
Indeed, judging from what we have to see here of A DANGEROUS METHOD, Cronenberg may very well deliver the masterwork of his long and accomplished career at last if the trailer is any indication whatsoever of his handle on the intellectual - some would say impermeable - material, as well as the already evidently riveting performance by Knightley and charismatic turns by the leading man. Yes, indeed - what of Sigmund Freud (Mortensen) and Carl Jung (Fassbender)?
Now, check out the sights and sounds of Cronenberg's A DANGEROUS METHOD.
Also, as a special bonus, here are trailers for some of the Cronenberg films discussed above:
So, do Roman Polanski and his cinematically adapted stage-to-screen four-hander CARNAGE finally have some stiff competition from Cronenberg & Co. with A DANGEROUS METHOD? What about George Clooney, Ryan Gosling and THE IDES OF MARCH team (which is yet another play adaptation)? I, for one, cannot wait to see all three and report back! What about you? What Oscar hopeful(s) can you not wait to see in the coming months?
That's all for this week. Please remember that if you have discovered a particularly thrilling, unique, bizarre or hilarious Broadway-related clip to please send us a line at the link below. Until next week…

A Richmond police sergeant took $140,000 in bribes from drug dealers and set up a narcotics deal for another, while alerting that dealer of a federal drug agency's tracking device on his car, a Contra Costa District Attorney's witness says.
Sgt. Michael Wang also tipped off a drug dealer to a gun sting that led to the shooting of a police informant, according to that witness.
The allegations against Wang -- a Richmond police personnel and training supervisor, and former narcotics officers -- came from Sergio Vega-Robles, a prosecution witness in a related drug conspiracy trial. Last month, Vega-Robles was interviewed by an inspector from the district attorney's office, and his allegations against the 18-year veteran Richmond cop were made public this week in a motion filed by an attorney representing an accused drug co-conspirator.
"If these allegations are true, than (Wang's) a gangster of the worst kind," said Daniel Horowitz, an attorney representing co-conspirator Coby Phillips of San Pablo. "He's putting other law enforcement in danger and he's putting the people helping law enforcement in danger, too."
Wang was placed on paid administrative leave recently while local and federal investigations continue, Richmond police Chief Chris Magnus said.
In a statement Thursday, Magnus said he is aware of a "number of serious and potentially criminal allegations" regarding Wang, which could come up in testimony during Phillips' upcoming trial.
A call and e-mail to Wang were not returned Thursday, but his attorney Harry Stern called Wang a "highly respected supervisor in the Richmond Police Department."
"There's no question in my mind these allegations are a rather nasty smoke screen planted by the defense to provide cover and distraction," Stern said. "Another defendant was convicted in short order on this and they saw the writing on the wall, and that's the motivation for dragging Sgt. Wang into this."
Prosecutor Tom Kensok, handling drug conspiracy cases involving Phillips, Sergio Vega-Robles and his brother Jose and numerous other defendants, declined to comment on Sergio's interview, citing the ongoing case.
Sergio Vega-Robles took a deal to testify for the prosecution against Phillips. He had faced charges similar to those of his brother Jose, who was sentenced last year to 75 years to life in prison for operating a major Bay Area methamphetamine ring and the 2004 murders of two drug associates in West Contra Costa County. But the murder charges against Sergio were dropped upon his cooperation with prosecutors, Horowitz said.
Earlier this week, Sergio Vega-Robles' allegations against Wang -- most stemming from around 2005 -- became public in a nearly 200-page motion aimed at dismissing Phillips' attempted murder charge.
In his interview with the prosecution, Vega-Robles said he personally gave Wang two installments of $40,000 each, and a drug dealer associate gave the sergeant another $40,000 on his behalf, Horowitz said.
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency was investigating the Vega-Robles brothers. At one point, Sergio told prosecutors Wang alerted him of a tracking device on his car; Sergio then removed it.
On Feb. 21, 2005, Jose Hernandez -- an alleged Richmond police informant -- was shot three times on the 1800 block of Roosevelt in Richmond. He survived.

NewswireToday - /newswire/ -
Fremont, CA, United States, 2009/04/20 - SchmartBoard announced today that patent 7,511,228 has been granted for SchmartBoards EZ technology for hand soldering Surface Mount Technology (SMT) electronic components.
In summary, the patent covers a modification of circuit board technology. A normal Printed Circuit Board (PCB) consists of two main components on the surface. The solder mask, are the colored areas, and the electronic pads, which are the metallic areas. The electronic pads are on top of the solder mask, and this is where the electronic components are placed. This system works great when circuits are mass-produced using precise robotic pick and place technology. However, when circuits need to be hand soldered for projects or prototyping, the average engineer does not have the dexterity or expertise to do it. Alternatively, it is very expensive to have a custom PCB fabricated and parts assembled on it.
SchmartBoards new patent calls for the solder mask to be much higher than the pads. Additionally the pads are pre-tinned with solder. What this modification does is allow the electronic components to easily be hand placed by virtually anyone. Because the solder is already on the pads, a user simply takes a soldering iron and melts the solder to the component leads or runs the boards through a re-flow oven. This technology makes it virtually impossible to create shorts or bridges when hand soldering SMT components.
Our technology is utilized by three main user groups: industry, education and hobbyists, says Neal Greenberg, SchmartBoards VP sales and marketing. It has saved significant time and money for industry, allowed SMT technology to be used in education, and has made it possible for hobbyists to use current component technology. SchmartBoards website has videos of SMT parts being soldered and offers a free demo board with chip for users to try for themselves before purchasing. Standard SchmartBoards with ez technology have a suggested retail price of $9.99 and are available through SchmartBoards website and leading electronic distributors.
About SchmartBoard
SchmartBoard (schmartboard.com) is committed to helping engineers, students and hobbyists develop electronic circuits faster, easier, and less expensively than previously possible. SchmartBoards patented Electronic Circuit Building Blocks makes this possible. SchmartBoards EZ Technology and Solder By Numbers program makes the soldering of surface mount components and circuit creation accessible to virtually anyone.

WIN Tracks to Be Released on Today (10/28)
After impressing the viewers with their self-written songs, Team A and Team B of YG Entertainment's WIN: Who Is Next will release the four songs performed in the finale battle on October 28 as a digital single.
On October 25, WIN completed its run of 10 episodes with an emotional finale. Due to the desperate requests of fans, YG Entertainment announced through its official blog at midnight started its countdown for the song releases.
Team A's Go Up, Team B's Climax, and the two different version of the Teddy composed song, Just Another Boy will be included in the digital single.
After 10 weeks of fierce training and three battles, Team A won the new group title of WINNER with the song Go Up, which was written by Kang Seung Yoon, Lee Seung Hoon, Song Min Ho and co-composed by Kang Seung Yoon and Song Min Ho. The song is about the members' determination to rise to the top and is a bright and hopeful song.
Although the members are young, Team B's Climax, written by B.I., Bobby, Kim Jin Hwan, Song Yoon Hyung, Gu Joon Hee, Kim Dong Hyuk, and composed by B.I. and Bobby, was also praised by fans for its powerful rap and addictive melody.
During the live broadcast, Yang Hyun Suk praised Team A, saying, "Team A's greatest weapon is the ability to write songs. If they all debut, I think all the members can produce their own songs."
Epik High's Tablo is stated that he wanted to download the song right away.
On Team B's self-composed song battle, 2NE1's CL said, "I was truly touched. I think the desperate feelings were delivered. It made me think a lot of my own trainee days, so I'm thankful."
Yang Hyun Suk also didn't spare any praises for Team B. "The lyrics makes your emotions rise up. It was a song that appropriate for the final stage with all of their sincerity inside of it. I was touched to the point of tears. I think I will continue listening to this song."
For the Teddy track, Just Another Boy, Team A's Nam Tae Hyun, Lee Seung Hoon, and Song Min Ho wrote the lyrics, while Kang Seung Yoon, Nam Tae Hyun, and Song Min Ho worked out rearranging the song. With a powerful rap and a sub-bass of a heavy atmosphere, the dance song provided an energetic song that took over the stage with its fun beat.
Team B's Just Another Boy was rearranged by B.I and Bobby, and proved to be a completely different song compared to Team A's. With the use of the side-chain technique, Just Another Boy had a dark atmosphere with an addictive melody. Also the powerful rap and performance stuck out as the Team B members said they wanted to make an exciting stage with the audience members.
With the surprise release of the final four songs, listeners will be able to feel all the passion and touching moments of the WIN members during the 10 weeks of learning and growing.
Meanwhile, Team A was named the final winner. It will begin preparing to make its official debut.

The Need for Speed
In the streets of the major cities and all across the United States, there are people that are doing something illegal. It is called street racing. Most of the cars are imports but there are American cars to. There are different kinds of street racing but the most popular is drag racing. But know to the story. Four cars are revving their motors up, in the streets of Miami. They are about to start the race. Deion says, "you all want to race for big money". "Sure well do that", they all said. "Ok how does fifty grand sound", Deion said. "Ok, that sounds cool", Brian said. "Yea I'll do that", Jason said. "Sure", Josh said. So they decide to race for money. Deion is driving a Subaru Impreza WRX STI. Josh is driving a Nissan 240sx. Brian is driving a Nissan Skyline. And Jason is driving a Nissan 350z. This is one of the only races where you wont see a Honda Civic. The reason you always see those is because they are cheap and you can get every part for it. The reason its not in this race is because there is no way they have the guts to race in this race. And if some one does they'll have to wait till next week. They only race on Friday so there won't be so many cops.
They are ready to go know. The favorite is Brian in is Skyline. But you never know in street racing and with this much money on the line they'll do almost anything to win. The race is about to start they just have to get the word that there are no cops that know about it. Ok the word is they're going to start in a minute. Ok there starting now. And they're off. The skyline has an early lead but closely followed by the 240sx and the Impreza. The 350z didn't even get off the line something broke in it when he took off. The races are only a quarter-mile long. The skyline is starting to pull away more now. Brian is probably one of the best drivers out there right now. He has only lost one race and in that race he totally got messed his car up. Josh in his 240 hits the nitrous button and he speeds up and catches Brian. The only thing is he might have hit it to soon. Brian waits a little while and then he hits his, and he speeds away from everyone and wins the race.
At the finish line Brian is receiving his money. He hasn't lost a race in three years, since his first time racing. Most people think all they do is race but most of them all have jobs working on cars or doing something that has to deal with cars. Brian has his own shop. He works there 5 days a week and actually lives there to. He also has two other cars and there are a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VIII and a Mitsubishi Eclipse. He had a Mitsubishi 3000gt but it got impounded when he was running from the cops.
He used to live in Los Angelos but now he lives in Miami and that is where he does his racing now. No one has been able to beat him yet but there is

JONATHAN FAHEYNEW YORK (AP) â¿¿ Duke Energy, the nation's largest electric utility by market value, reported stronger-than-expected earnings for the third quarter but company executives said the outlook for strong economic growth in the U.S. is dim. The company said more customers signed up for service, which is a hopeful sign, but demand for electricity from homes and businesses has been weak. Jim Rogers, Duke's CEO, said in an interview that the company is operating under the expectation that electricity demand, excluding the effects of weather, will grow at a rate of less than 1 percent. He said that with slow population growth in the U.S., the financial crisis in Europe, and diminished expectations of growth in China, "People look around and see there's no part of the world that can really juice growth." "We are in a slow growth period," he said. Still, Duke reported solid third quarter results Thursday, the company's first quarterly results since acquiring Progress Energy in late June to become the largest U.S. utility. The Charlotte, N.C.-based company serves 7 million customers in the Carolinas, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio. Duke reported earnings of $594 million, or 85 cents per share, on revenue of $6.72 billion. The company said it earned $1.47 per share when it excluded $457 million in deal-related costs, a $180 million increase in the costs it must pay to complete a new coal plant in Indiana and other unusual items. Analysts surveyed by FactSet had expected Duke to earn an adjusted $1.44 per share on revenue of $6.79 billion. Duke Energy Corp. shares fell 38 cents to close at $62.56 Thursday. Its shares have traded in a 52-week range of $58.74 to $71.13. Andy Smith, an analyst at Edward Jones, welcomed the company's customer growth in both its Progress and Duke territories, and said he expects company results to improve in the coming months as it seeks to increase rates in the Carolinas and begins to realize savings from the merger.

Compare and contrast the management theories of Frederick Taylor, Henri Fayol, Elton Mayo and Douglas McGregor. In what sense(s) are these theories similar and/or compatible? In what sense(s) are these theories dissimilar and/or incompatible? How would a contingency theorist reconcile the points of dissimilarity and/or incompatibility between these approaches?
The twentieth century has brought in a number of management theories which have helped shaped our view of management in the present business environment. These emerging theories have enabled managers to appreciate new patterns of thinking, new ways of organising and new ways of managing organisations and people. Over the years these different theories have enabled the study of trends that have taken place in the management field. The major management viewpoints- which include the classical, behavioural and contingency approaches- have assisted in the formation of the contemporary twenty-first century management theory and techniques (S. C. Certo & S. T. Certo, 2006). Although, there are significant differences among all these approaches they seem to be unified by the efforts of improving an organisation's efficiency in terms of proper human resources management. Furthermore, the dissimilarities seen in these approaches are due to the always changing organisations and environments which demand new management practices and techniques be applied to maintain the efficiency of an organisation.
The classical approach to management was the result of an effort to develop a body of management thinking and the management theorists who participated in this effort are considered the pioneers of management study. The classical viewpoint emphasises efficiency in managing work and organisations in order to increase production (S. C. Certo & S. T. Certo, 2006). The classical approach to management can be categorised into three areas: scientific, administrative and bureaucratic management. Frederick Taylor, known as the father of scientific management, developed his theories by concentrating on improving the inefficiencies he had observed in the working environment and introducing more �scientific' methods of working (Taylor, 1960). Taylor was concerned about the discrepancies between management and the labour force regarding the distribution of profits, "neither side seemed to agree on what constituted a fair day's work" (Hagen, 1988, p. 46). Frederick Taylor, using systematic analysis, decided to study the possibility of finding a �better way' to perform certain work tasks.
In 1911 Taylor published The Principles of Scientific Management, a book in which he promoted the development of management through the application of scientific selection and training of workers, and the division of tasks and responsibilities between workers and management (Kermally, 2005). Therefore, scientific management was a theory based on producing workers' effectiveness to run an organisation with as much efficiency as possible; his purpose was to exploit economies of scale in order to increase productivity. Moreover, Taylor drew a line between intellectual and manual labour, where managers were responsible for planning work methods and workers were responsible for executing such work. According to Hagen, "Taylor went beyond this, forbidding workers to think for themselves" (KarlÐ"¶f & LÐ"¶vingsson, 2005).
Taylor's scientific management is widely criticised as it can lead to worker resentment, poor quality, repetitiveness and malingering. However, one cannot deny the fact that he did draw attention to the importance of selection, training, compensation and motivation, which are areas directly relevant to managing people in today's environment (Hagen, 1988, p. 46). In addition, scientific management should be analysed keeping in mind the period in which it emerged; a period when a vast portion of the population were performing repetitive labour work based on the ideas and skills of the intellectual minority. Consequently, Taylorism cannot be used as extensively in today's business environment, when the majority of the jobs performed by the labour force entail some type of problem-solving skills (KarlÐ"¶f & LÐ"¶vingsson, 2005).
While scientific development emphasised principles to improve worker effectiveness, another branch within the classical school arose, administrative management, with its main contributor being French industrialist Henri Fayol. He is regarded as the father of administrative management as he proposed fourteen principles of management intended to assist managers in determining what to do to manage an organisation more effectively (Rodrigues, 2001). Fayol's ideas are still valid in today's organisations and his definitions of management are widely used in this field of study. In his book General and Industrial Management, published in 1916, he defined management as "to manage is to forecast and plan, to organise, to command, to coordinate and to control" (Fayol, 1916). This definition yielded the now known functions of management. Fayol's approach to management has several similarities with Taylor's scientific management theory. Included in Fayol's fourteen principles is the division of work, which outlined the need for workers to specialise in specific jobs (Rodrigues, 2001). This idea of work specialisation has been derived from Taylor's principles of scientific management. Furthermore, the empowerment of managers, proper training of employees and the use of a reasonable rewards system were principles that originated from Taylorism. Fayol's general principles of management covered the topics of organisational efficiency and appropriate human resource management that are still applicable in today's management studies. In particular his five functions of management have had a significant and insightful impact on management thinking and practices over the years and they have served as a foundation for other theories and techniques (Rodrigues, 2001).
The classical approach to management, seen in the theories of Taylor and Fayol, were centred on organising workers in such a way that their performance would be more efficient for the organisation's productivity (S. C. Certo & S. T. Certo, 2006). In addition, these pioneers developed a more precise definition of what was meant to be a manager's role, which in turn improved the efficiency and productivity of an organisation. However, these theorists failed to observe the changes in an organisation's environment

AN ALBUQUERQUE man has been formally charged with stabbing several members of the choir at Sunday Mass.
Authorities say 24-year-old Lawrence Capener was booked late on Sunday on three counts of aggravated battery. The Albuquerque resident was ordered held on $US75,000 ($73,000) bail.
Police say worshippers screamed as Mr Capener stabbed several people just as Mass was ending at St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church. Authorities say he continued the onslaught until he was tackled and held by church members until officers arrived.
It was not immediately known what sparked the bizarre attack at the 11am Sunday Mass on the city's west side.
Four parishioners were injured and were listed in stable condition at a nearby hospital.
Court records do not list an attorney for Mr Capener.
Just as the St. Jude Thaddeus Catholic Church choir began its final hymn, Mr Capener vaulted over pews and lashed out at the singers, sending four churchgoers to the hospital with stab wounds, authorities said.
Worshippers screamed as the shocking and chaotic scene unfolded on Sunday with the attacker continuing the onslaught until he was tackled and held by church members for officers, who raced to the scene, police said.
Four parishioners were injured, including church choir director Adam Alvarez and flutist Gerald Madrid, police spokesman Robert Gibbs said. All four were being treated at hospitals and listed in stable condition.
Investigators don't yet know whether Capener had ties to the victims or whether he regularly attended the church, Mr Gibbs said earlier.
An off-duty firefighter and others at the church held Mr Capener down until police arrived.
Mr Madrid told KOB-TV that he tried to stop Mr Capener by placing him in a bear hug but was stabbed in the neck and back.
"I bear-hugged him. We were chest on chest. I was wrapping about to take him down to ground, but I didn't have his arms. I had just my arms around his chest, so his arms were free. So that's when he started stabbing me," he said.
Mr Madrid said he thought the suspect was punching him. It wasn't until other parishioners rushed the man, that Mr Madrid realised he had been stabbed five times.
The choir's pianist, Brenda Baca King, told KRQE-TV that the attacker was looking at the lead soloist. "I just remember seeing him hurdle over the pews, hurdle over people and run (toward) us and I thought, 'Oh my God, this is not good,'" Ms Baca King said.
Father John C. Daniel, who was celebrating the Mass, told The Albuquerque Journal that the stabbing was "random.
He said he had seen Mr Capener in the church before but did not recognise him as a regular parishioner.
Father Daniel said he didn't see the attack because he had turned his back away from the congregation in order to return the sacrament in the tabernacle.
Archbishop of Santa Fe Michael Sheehan released a statement Sunday afternoon saying he was saddened by the attack.
"This is the first time in my 30 years serving as archbishop in the Archdiocese of Santa Fe and as Bishop of Lubbock, that anything like this has occurred," Archbishop Sheehan said.
"I pray for all who have been harmed, their families, the parishioners and that nothing like this will ever happen again."

WEATHER NOTICE: We do close in the event of lightning or heavy rain creating slippery conditions in the field. Depot telephone -- 831-3409
The Remsen Runaround, a 5K road race, is held the 1st Saturday in August. The runners board the Adirondack Scenic Railroad train at Remsen and ride north to the crossing at Old Route 12. The runners then deboard the train and wait for the start of the race - the train whistle. The run is down the old state road back through the village to the Depot. There are protected intersections and water stations along the course. Awards and refreshments are provided to the runners. Note: the train originates in Utica so it is possible to ride to the race from Utica. However, the train continues on to Old Forge for the day. It does not return until 5:30.
To register for the race or more information - call 831-2350.
The Remsen Depot is located on Depot Street in the center of the village of Remsen. Directions to the Depot are as follows.
From the South (Utica)
Proceed North on Route 12. At the blinking light at Shufelt's Citgo gas station turn right onto Steuben Street. At the end of Steuben Street turn left onto Main Street. Take the first right onto Depot Street after the fire station (on your left). The fire station is at the intersection of Prospect St. and Main St. You will see the Remsen Depot on your left after crossing the railroad tracks.
From the North (Boonville / Old Forge)
Proceed South on Route 12. Turn left at "Mondi's B-B-Q" (on your left) onto Pritchard Road. At the end of Pritchard Road turn right onto Main Street. After passing Remsen Central School (on your right) take the 3rd left onto Depot Street. You will see the Remsen Depot on your left after crossing the railroad tracks.

I did, somehow, manage to figure this out before I started college, and ended up at just the right school.
You Are a Liberal Arts College You would love the full, traditional college experience. You crave small classes and enriching discussions.
You may or may not know what you want to do with your life, but you do know that you're interested in learning everything about the world.
You don't want to feel like you're part of the system or rushed to specialize. You want to take your time and discover your passions.
You can deal with the real world for the rest for your life. But you'd like a few years to study, connect, think, and grow.

When Wayne Valero asked me to share one of my most memorable moments underwater, I couldn't help reminiscing about my trip to St. Kitts in February 1998. That's where I witnessed the last solar eclipse in the southern hemisphere before the millennium. While my fellow journalists were lining up to watch the eclipse from Brimstone Hill Fortress, 3,700 feet above sea level, I experienced it on a shipwreck in 50 feet of water.
Divemaster Nikki Sinibaldi of St. Kitts Scuba, Ltd., Don Mossman of Norwalk, Ohio, and I joked as we geared up for a dive we knew would be different from any others we had ever experienced. "I feel like we're timing labor contractions," Nikki quipped as we debated when to leave the boat. First mate Bobby Archibald reeled off the times: "Now 1:45, now 1:50, now 2 p.m.," while Captain Dennis Fleming peered at the sun through protective glasses. "It's almost half covered, so you better go," he urged.The sun's rays still filtered through the clear water as we reached the remains of the Talata, a small freighter wrecked off the island's capital, Basseterre, in 1985. The vessel had taken a beating from storms throughout the years, but the bow was still intact. The rest of it was pretty beat-up. We started to lose light as we swam toward the stern, where a big green moray ruled supreme in part of the wreck that resembled a cage.
At 2:30 p.m., close to the culmination of a total eclipse, the 80-foot visibility dropped drastically and the shipwreck suddenly became a twilight zone. Our underwater lights revealed blackbar soldierfish retreating to the inner recesses of the wreck where they usually spent the night. Blue-striped grunts, content to school almost motionless a few minutes earlier, grew restless and swam haphazardly in all directions. A school of crevalle jacks, cruising on the perimeter of a nearby coral reef, peeled off like fighter planes and buzzed the shadows of the ship's stern.One lone lobster came out of its hiding place, looked around, and returned to its lair. The big green moray moved nervously back and forth in its ironclad dwelling, but never ventured out. Most of the fish began to forage for dinner as they usually do at dusk, but their strange behavior didn't last long. When the moon completed its covering phase, dim rays of sunlight returned to the Caribbean Sea and its inhabitants resumed their normal protocol.
Back aboard the boat, Nikki said she really didn't think we fooled Mother Nature. Yet the nature of our dive was unique, just like the rest of my visit to St. Kitts and its sister island, Nevis. St. Kitts, 18 miles long and 5 miles wide, is located in the Eastern Caribbean. The west side of the island borders the Caribbean Sea, while the east coast faces the Atlantic Ocean. The island is consolidated with nearby Nevis to form a single island federation. On a clear day, from both St. Kitts and Nevis, you can see St. Maarten, Antigua, Saba, St. Bart's and St. Eustatius, all islands of the Lesser Antilles. Located approximately 1,300 miles southeast of Miami, Florida, they've all become popular dive destinations.

Looks Naomi Watts wanted to have some pre-holiday pampering…or was it Kai?
The King Kong actress spent Thursday (December 20) afternoon with her youngest son Kai and her mother Miv getting some pedicures in New York City, N.Y. Afterwards, the 4-year old bundled up and got a stroller ride from his mama.
Papa Liev Schreiber and brother Sasha, 5, weren't spotted with trio.
Being the children of two actors can be very educational for the blond cuties. Their mom took the family-of-four overseas to Thailand to be at the set of her film The Impossible, which is about a family's fight for survival after the destruction from the 2004 tsunami.
Before taking the kids to the set, the 21 Grams star sat them down to explain the story of the devastating event. After some prepping, the boys got to see their mama in action coughing up blood with gashes and bruises all over her body.
"Yeah, it's not the best way to see mommy, is it?" Watts laughs during an interview with the Huffington Post. "They came first time on a day where I had minimal wounds – nothing too much. … And then by the third day they came, they were putting the chocolate powder all over me and painting some wounds on themselves and me. So they understood it."
"I know it's not completely normal. But this is the life that actors live. And we are playing dress-up some of the time."

Raleigh, N.C. — State House lawmakers voted 71-43 Monday night to approve a proposal to eliminate, fire or reconfigure more than two dozen state oversight boards.
Senate Bill 10, which would allow Republican leaders and Gov. Pat McCrory to name political appointees as replacements to the boards, is now headed back to the Senate, where it will likely be kicked to a conference committee.
The measure passed its first reading 70-42 last week after a contentious floor debate in which even some Republican members voiced concerns about the bill's hasty arrival on the floor.
Three GOP representatives – Reps. Chuck McGrady of Buncombe County, Nathan Ramsey of Buncombe County and Michael Speciale of Craven County – joined Democrats in voting against the bill Monday.
Rep. Edgar Starnes, R-Caldwell, said the move was necessary to purge state regulatory boards and commissions that, he said, "have been infiltrated with people that have a very left-leaning bent."
Rep. Deborah Ross, D-Wake, however, called it a bad bill.
"This is not a reform bill," she said. "This is a bill about securing special interest rights in very important areas of our law and our government."

Chocolate 'Crack' Recipe
- Yield:1 (ok, maybe more like 20, but be warned, it's addictive)
- Active time: 20 minutes
- Total time:2 hours
- Rated:
- 51 saltine crackers (approximately)
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 oz high quality dark chocolate (70% or greater)
- Flaky sea salt
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12 x 17 inch jelly roll pan with foil. Place saltine crackers salt side up and side-by-side in the pan as tightly as possible without overlapping. Use saltine pieces to fill any gaps at the bottom of the pan. Set aside. Chop chocolate so pieces are about the size of standard chocolate chips and set aside.
In a medium saucepan melt butter over medium heat stirring frequently with a spatula. Once butter has melted, add brown sugar and vanilla stirring to combine. Cook for about 5 minutes or until mixture is an even dark brown color and has begun to bubble. Remove from heat and pour over saltines using spatula to spread sauce.
Bake crackers for 5 minutes or until butter mixture begins to bubble. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with chocolate allowing the heat to melt the chocolate. Spread chocolate evenly with the spatula so all of the crackers are completely covered. Sprinkle with sea salt. Refrigerate until chocolate sets and hardens. Break apart and serve.

The American Academy of Ophthalmology has released results of a Harris Poll that shows that a majority of Americans are unaware that taking common drugs and having light-colored eyes can make people more vulnerable to UV exposure, a contributing factor to certain eye diseases and conditions.
Studies have shown that, in addition to skin cancers, accumulated ultraviolet exposure from the sun can heighten the risk of eye diseases such eye cancer and cataracts, a leading cause of blindness worldwide. Intense UV exposure can also cause temporary blindness known as photokeratitis, while extended sun exposure is linked to growths such as pterygium, or surfer's eye.
To assess how much Americans know about eye health risks posed by UV rays and what people do to protect themselves, the American Academy of Ophthalmology - the world's largest association of eye physicians and surgeons - commissioned a national Harris Poll of more than 2,000 adults. The results revealed two major gaps in UV safety knowledge:
- One-third of adults use medications that may increase photosensitivity, or increased susceptibility to damage from UV rays. However, 49 percent are unaware or do not believe those medications can cause photosensitivity. These photosensitizing drugs[1] include antibiotics containing tetracycline or floroquinolones (like Cipro), some birth control and estrogen pills and certain anti-inflammatory pain relievers, such as ibuprofen (Advil) and naproxen sodium (Aleve).[2]
- More than half (54 percent) of Americans have light-colored eyes (blue, green or hazel). Yet, only 1 in 3 (32 percent) of those with light eyes and 29 percent of all polled know light eyes are more susceptible to UV damage. While people with eyes of any color can develop UV-related eye diseases, light eyes and sun exposure are associated with an increased risk of rare eye cancers, such as iris and uveal melanomas.[3]
Ophthalmologists recommend that all individuals - especially those with increased photosensitivity - wear 100 percent UV-safe sunglasses. While the survey found that 83 percent of Americans wear sunglasses, only half (47 percent) said they check for a UV protection label before buying them. Also, less than a third (32 percent) make their kids wear UV-blocking sunglasses.
"Wearing 100 percent UV-protective sunglasses is one of the easiest and the most important things children and adults can do to protect their eye health," said ophthalmologist Anne Sumers, M.D., clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. "It isn't just about fashion or comfort - it's about preserving your sight! So make wearing sunglasses a priority, especially if you have light eyes, work outdoors or take certain medications."
Tips to Protect Your Eyes
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the following tips to protect the eyes from the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation:
- Choose glasses that block 100 percent of UV rays. Use only glasses that block both UV-A and UV-B rays and that are labeled either "UV400" or "100% UV protection." Don't go by darkness of the lenses, which doesn't indicate strength of UV protection. Close-fitting wraparound styles offer the best coverage.
- Wear sunglasses even if it's cloudy. Damaging UV rays go through clouds and can burn skin and eyes even when the sky is overcast.
- Put a lid on it. Wear a hat with a wide brim as well as sunglasses and sunscreen. Studies have shown hats decrease the risk of eye disease related to extended UV exposure.[4]
- Pills and rays don't always mix. Certain medications may cause increased sensitivity to sunlight, so take extra precautions if using those treatments.
- Watch out for sun, sand and water. When at the beach or in the pool, remember that rays reflected off sand, water or pavement can burn your eyes.
- Don't rely on contact lenses. Contact lenses may have UV protection but cannot protect the entire eye area from burning rays that can increase risk of disease and blindness. Remember your sunglasses, which provide more coverage.
The American Academy of Ophthalmology promotes UV safety throughout the year. Learn more about how to protect your eyes and get additional sunglasses shopping tips at the Academy's public education website, GetEyeSmart.org.

Poll: 58 percent of Americans still have their VCR
Apparently many Americans like to hold on to their past devices, at least in terms of old technology that is.
Gallup polled Americans about what they use in their homes and the result was a little shocking.
The poll found that 58 percent of Americans still have a VCR.
The number is declining though; it's down from 88 percent in 2005.
Officials think it's because a lot of people still have home movies on VHS and need a VCR to play them.

Everything always starts with an idea. Adi and Rudolf Dassler worked meticulously in their mother's laundry room to perfect their first pair of trainers in the 1920s, before they became two of the world's biggest sportswear manufacturers. Almost 100 years later, GoPro founder Nick Woodman hit upon the idea of developing a small, waterproof camera as he was always having to strap the device down using rubber bands when surfing.
Regardless of how innovative a business idea is, to make it a reality, you need start-up capital. In our new series, we will show you what funding opportunities are available for companies and projects, and how to find the best funding program for you.
In truth, the money is there, but you can quickly lose track among all the bold offers. This captures the dilemma of searching for appropriate funding in a nutshell. The European Union alone is investing €80 billion by 2020 to support research and innovation projects. Projects that will drive "the modernization of European manufacturing industries" will receive a total of €1 billion over the next two years.
And good ideas are not just worth money in the EU. Countless other public and private entities are offering both founders of start-ups and established entrepreneurs financial grants to make their concepts reality. However, there are very few offers that are aimed directly and exclusively at the sports industry. If, as a sports company, you want to benefit from funding opportunities, you will need to overcome a few challenges first.
This series is designed to help you blaze a trail through the complex funding landscape. Among other topics, you will learn what funding opportunities exist for sports innovations, and you will also learn which offer is best suited to your project or product innovation.
We will also offer tips and tricks for your funding application, and introduce you to companies that have already benefitted from various funding programs and share their experiences with you.

Viewer shares video of NMB plane crash
Tue, 18 Jan 2011 23:31:05 GMT —
When a plane crashed into an RV at a North Myrtle Beach RV park Tuesday afternoon, Michael Runser was driving by and captured the first moments following the crash.
The crash happened at one o'clock. The pilot, who has not been identified, and a woman in the RV that was hit, died.
Runser tells us he and a co-worker were eating lunch at Barefoot Landing and driving past Briarcliffe RV resort when they heard an explosion and saw the smoke.
Runser said, "You could really feel the intense heat, you know, coming from the fire. A lot of cracking and popping, and you know, whether it were to spread to another Winnebago. Something might blow up. So, there was a lot fear. A lot of fear on the other people's faces too."
There is a neighborhood with single family homes next to the RV park.

Electronics are a huge part of our lives, but it's vital that you make sure that your electronic components are protected from one of these main opponents: Static demand. connectivity This sensation, more commonly called static electrical energy, arises when friction in between surfaces generates an disproportion between the negative and positive charges within an atom. Why is static electricity this type of problem? As it can damage delicate electronic parts, and because it could pose a serious threat of injury to the people managing those parts. Consequently, whenever you are planning to work with electronics, you will need to take a couple of precautions to defend your components from static charge. Here are some tools you can use to stop that discrepancy from occurring:
A component is understood to be a basic aspect in electronics that has prospects terminals which enables it to be connected with other components to form functional devices based on the intended software. Components are split into passive components and also active components. Battery power would be categorised as an lively component as this is a primary source of energy. Unaggressive components cannot expose net energy into the circuit they are linked too. They only rely on power that is available in the circuit.
You have to make a detailed study on these surplus parts. You have to understand that not necessarily because it is excess it does imply to say that it's no good. You can find surplus parts that will last for years. You just have to inspect things that you are buying so as to make sure that you will be able to get the value of what you are paying for. Keep in mind, no matter how eager you are into getting the part that you need, you still have to examine it carefully. You cannot just go ahead and purchase the initial part that you see on the internet. You need to look at your alternatives and consider things carefully to be able to make the right purchases.
Tesla Electronic Components can be viewed as to be well worth when you need to get high-end electronic items. The emblem is one of the most ancient in the market and it is doing ideal since quite a long time. You can blindly trust this particular brand with regards to reliability and also stability. It gives you various electronic goods that can be used inside engineering processes. It also guarantees to give the correct quality at the right value. You can expect this kind of brand to be pricing their product inside the mid range of its competitors. In short you get top-notch high quality for an adjusted price.

NHL: Ekblad goes 1st overall
Canadian Aaron Ekblad, of the Barrie Colts in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL), was taken number one by the Florida Panthers in a draft in Philadelphia largely devoid of surprises.
Center Leon Draisaitl became the highest German player chosen in the National Hockey League draft when he was selected at number three by the Edmonton Oilers on Friday.
Draisaitl said he looked forward to following in the wake of some of the greats who have played for the Oilers.
"Wearing the same jersey as (Wayne) Gretzky and (Mark) Messier and all those stars is a huge honour," the 18-year-old from Cologne told TSN television.
"It's a great organisation (with) a lot of young talented guys and I can't wait until training camp. I think I'm a good fit."
Edmonton general manager Craig MacTavish said Draisitl's size at 6'1" (1.85m) and 204 pounds (92kgs) had been key to why the franchise chose him from the Prince Albert Raiders in the Western Hockey League (WHL).
"We all know how difficult big centers are to obtain," MacTavish said. "Leon fits that bill for us. There will be a line-up of wingers ready to play with Leon."
The Oilers are coming off a poor season in which they finished last in the Western Conference.
The top seven draft picks all came from the OHL and WHL on a night when Ekblad became the first defenseman in eight years to be taken number one.
"I believe in myself and I'm confident I can step into the league next year. I think that's what the Florida Panthers see in me," Ekblad said.
"I feel that this is where I can facilitate my development and help the team win a Stanley Cup in a few years."
Florida general manger Dale Tallon said Ekblad would be one of the cornerstones of the franchise.
Vancouver-born Sam Reinhart of Kootenay in the WHL was taken second by the Buffalo Sabres.
"I'm ecstatic. This is the best moment of my life," said Reinhart, whose father Paul played 11 seasons in the NHL.
Draisaitl was the only non-Canadian among the top six draft picks, while Canadian-born Swede William Nylander was taken seventh by the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Nylander's father Michael played 920 games over 15 seasons in the NHL.
Nylander was one of three players among the top 13 draft picks who played in Sweden last season, along with Swiss Kevin Fiala (taken 11th by the Nashville Predators) and Czech Jakub Vrana (13th, Washington Capitals).
Left wing Nikolaj Ehlers, of Denmark, was chosen ninth by the Winnipeg Jets, while Dylan Larkin was the first American, picked 15th by the Detroit Red Wings. (Reporting by Andrew Both in Cary, North Carolina; Editing by Gene Cherry/Greg Stutchbury)

Good stuff!As a 28 year old woman with combo skin, I like this cleanser. — 7 years, 11 months agoKrystal_Kay | 14 reviews
great cleanserThis cleanser removes makeup, including eye makeup, without feeling too creamy or being too drying. Works wonderfully, and it's all natural! Great price, great product. Sometimes Juice Organics' pump dispensers don't work that great (they're working on it) so I just put a flip-top cap from another product (philosophy's purity cap fits perfectly) and then I have no dispensing issues. — 8 years, 4 months agokeribean | 18 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text: My wife and I share a MBP. We both have separate logins and separate iTunes libraries. When I went to configure her automatic downloads (we both have iPhones as well), it stated that the computer was also associated with an Apple ID, so I accepted the prompts and set her up. I assumed the Apple ID was possibly an old one she may have had. Turns out the the Apple ID associated with the computer was mine, and my automatic downloads were disabled since the computer is now associated with her ID. Is there way around this since we both have separate login's and separate iTunes libraries, or is iTunes using my MBP's serial number to determine what a computer is.

PESHAWAR, March 18: The Awami National Party has suspended the membership of central finance secretary Hashim Babar for criticising the party policies.
ANP information secretary Malik Mustafa told Dawn on Sunday that party provincial chief Senator Afrasiab Khattak had served notice on Mr Babar. His (Mr Babar's) basic membership had been suspended, he added.
Citing reason for the disciplinary action, Mr Mustafa said that Mr Babar violated discipline of the party after his daughter was not awarded ticket for contesting the Senate elections.
He said that that Mr Babar was constantly criticising party leadership and recently he organised a function in his constituency where he spoke against the party.
Mr Mustafa said that provincial office of the party had already served show cause notice on Mr Babar for his activities but he could not give satisfactory reply. Under the party constitution, basic membership of the central leader would remain suspended for three months.
During this period he can appeal to central executive committee of the party against the notice or can seek apology. Mr Babar, who belongs to Peshawar district, had sought party ticket for his daughter on reserved seat for women in the Senate.
The ANP allotted the ticket to Zahida Khan, a resident of Lower Dir district. Mohammad Sher Khan, the father of Ms Khan, was killed in a bomb blast and ANP nominated his daughter for the Senate seat in recognition of his services for the party.—Bureau Report

This article contains findings from the 35th Annual Phi Delta Kappa/Gallup Poll of the Public's Attitudes Toward the Public Schools, released on Aug. 20 in Washington, D.C.
The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 -- a law mandating strict, statewide achievement standards in public schools and tough consequences for schools that don't meet those standards -- is a central part of President Bush's plan to improve the nation's educational system. Schools across the country are beginning to feel the consequences: Two-thirds of the high schools in New Jersey received warnings this month that they do not meet the standards and must make improvements. More lawmakers and educators across the country are beginning to question the strategies used to enforce the law and whether it is meant to penalize or help schools. Most Americans say they are not familiar with the legislation, but the data suggest some opposition to some of its specific provisions.
The results of the 35th Annual PDK/Gallup survey* suggest that Bush's public relations efforts regarding NCLB have been largely unsuccessful. Only about a quarter of adults profess to have either a great deal (6%) or a fair amount (18%) of knowledge about the legislation, while 40% know very little about it and 36% know nothing at all. Despite the significant impact that NCLB is having in every public school district nationwide, those Americans with children in school are no more aware of NCLB than are those who do not have children in school.
All adults were asked to rate NCLB based on what they have heard or read about it. Nearly 7 in 10 Americans (69%) say they don't know enough about the act to rate it, and parents with children in school are no more able than others to venture an opinion.
Different surveys show varying degrees of public support for NCLB initiatives. A December 2002 survey conducted by the Winston Group for Americans for Better Education shows that 66% of Americans feel that raising standards and accountability is more important than increasing funding for improving education. The same survey also shows that 76% of Americans think parents with children in underachieving schools should be able to transfer their children to a better public school or charter school -- one of the major tenets of NCLB.
But Americans express less favorable opinions when asked about specific educational reforms that many argue are central to NCLB. For example, the PDK/Gallup poll suggests some opposition to measuring schools' performance according to a fixed standard. When offered two choices for "the better way to judge the job a public school is doing," 84% chose "whether students show reasonable improvement from where they started," and 14% chose "whether students meet a fixed standard." But the 2002 PDK/Gallup survey showed that the public did prefer, by a 68% to 30% margin, that all 50 states be required to "use a nationally standardized test" to track students' performance as opposed to "letting your state use its own test."
NCLB requires that schools be evaluated based on their students' scores on a single, statewide test. When asked if "a single test provides a fair picture of whether a school needs improvement," only 32% said yes, while 66% said no.
Data from other surveys reinforce that most Americans aren't fully comfortable with the idea of measuring schools' performance based on student achievement on state tests. According to a 2002 survey conducted for the PTA by Ipsos-Reid, just 30% of registered voters said that NCLB would be effective when told the academic performance of students and public schools is based primarily on the scores from state tests rather than on other measures of achievement.
However, when asked about the ability of tests to measure students' (as opposed to schools') performance, a January 2001 CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll found considerably more support. Forty-five percent of Americans said the use of a "single standardized test" was a fair way to "determine what a student knows or has achieved." Still, a majority (53%) thought it was unfair.
Whether or not they agree with NCLB's approach, the public opinion on one point is relatively clear: most Americans do not want the federal government deciding what is taught in their local schools. The majority of the nation's adults, according to the PDK/Gallup data, feel that the local school board should have the greatest influence in deciding what is taught in public schools in their area (61%). Fewer feel that the state government should have the most influence (22%), and only 16% feel that the federal government should have the most say.
As these data show, public opinion on specific educational policies are not firmly held and can vary a great deal depending on how the questions are asked.
Bottom Line
Regardless of the public's opinion on these specific issues, PDK/Gallup data show that most Americans simply don't know about the Bush administration's plan to fix failing schools. And as schools across the nation begin to grapple with the impact of the new guidelines for "making the grade" according to the NCLB standards, the Bush administration may face mounting pressure to revise them.
*The findings of the survey are based on telephone interviews with a random sample of 1,011 U.S. adults, aged 18 and older, conducted from May 28 to June 18, 2003. For results based on this sample, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum error attributable to sampling and other random effects is ±3 percentage points.
