No prom for students who skipped school to protest
PORTLAND, Ore. - Some local high school kids won't be going to their prom this weekend because they skipped classes all day to protest the district's latest proposed budget cuts.
A couple of dozen Parkrose High School students walked and chanted on Friday for the arts and an alternative program at the school called Parkrose Alternative Center for Education (PACE). Both programs will take a hit next year because of budget cuts - one art teacher will go (leaving just one for the school) and PACE will have fewer classes.
The protest comes with a consequence - the students who participated will not be allowed to go to prom this weekend. And the school's principal, Jared Freeman, said he's sticking to school policy on this one.
"An unexcused absence the day before a dance means you don't come to the dance," Freeman said.
Freeman is, however, discussing the prom ruling with the district. And as far as saving teachers and programs - he said that would have to come from the state.
"We need more funding to make that education what they want it to be," he said.
Freeman said the art program took a hit because all of the other programs at the school, like choir and band, already have just one teacher. And they don't want to cut any of those programs completely.
The budget cuts are proposals at this point and do not have school board approval - that will happen by the end of the month.

Wow. Thank you for posting this, Steve.
Ezekiel 37, 38 & 39, Matthew 24, Revelation 5 & 6. Any serious Bible student will want to become familiar with these passages. It is not 100% certain that Magog is Russia but many Bible scholars believe it probably is. There is no doubt however about the other countries who will be involved in the final events of human history – Iran (Persia), Syria, Libya and Iraq (Babylon) as well as others. These countries will form an alliance whose only goal is to destroy Israel. We can see this coming to pass even now. Of course, all nations that come against Israel will fail and be destroyed. The passages in Ezekiel detailing the results of nuclear war are incredible. In any event, we are at a time in history that the Bible speaks about more than any other and we can finally see it all coming together. Even so, come Lord Jesus! Get ready!
BTW – the voice and passage reading in the video are from the mobile Bible app at youversion.com. You can download it for free from Amazon.
Thanks, Jim.
I've said it before, and I will say it again. It's not so much Israel they would destroy, but the One true God of Israel. Those to whom He first revealed Himself to be the God above all other gods,as in all of the inhabited lands, in those days, there were many gods, idols, among the many peoples. But only One YHVH who revealed Himself to a fallen world through Abraham. Allah cannot continue to exist so long as the people, all of the people, of YHVH, remain.This was made evident at the Democratic National Convention. But were the masses really listening? Hearing? Perceiving? I think not.

If you haven't noticed, I've gone gaga for Paper by FiftyThree, the iPad app that Apple named 2012 iPad app of the year (for very good reason).
Well, I was doubly-gaga today when I saw that my depiction of Santa and his reindeer flying silently past the moon was featured on the company's "All I Want for Christmas" post. (Screencapped below, but be sure to visit this link to see ALL of the creative artwork showcased.)
This comes after discovering that three of my drawings (including the one above) were included in FiftyThree's Facebook cover photo for the holidays. It too is included below so I can point out which images are featured. But definitely check out their Facebook page and like them… because these guys are geniuses.

U.K. archive documents say France proposed merger with Britain in 1956Breaking News
The revelation that the French government proposed a union of Britain and France in 1956 — even offering to accept the sovereignty of the British queen — has left scholars on both sides of the Channel puzzled.
Newly discovered documents in Britain's National Archives show that former French Prime Minister Guy Mollet discussed the possibility of a merger between the two countries with British Prime Minister Sir Anthony Eden.
"I completely fell off my seat," said Richard Vinen, an expert in French history at King's College in London. "It's such a bizarre thing to propose."
Eden rejected the idea of a union but was more favorable to a French proposal to join the Commonwealth, according to the documents. One document added that Mollet "had not thought there need be difficulty over France accepting the headship of her Majesty (Queen Elizabeth II)."

Jeff Vanke - 1/17/2007
This is old news, and an over-eager interpretation of it.
Frances Lynch discussed this in her 1996 book, _France and the International Economy_, and possibly in an article before that.
Mollet was not proposing to make France into a British province. He was making a last-gasp effort at the decade-long French preference for European integration with Britain as a counterweight to, or instead of, Germany. Mollet had been an English teacher, then a wartime prisoner of the Germans, and he was something of a germanophobe (though in plenty of company in 1950s France in that regard).
At this time, France was deep into the negotiations for the Common Market, the core of today's European Union. Britain wasn't interested in joining the Common Market until later (1961 onward). In precisely the same month, September 1956, Mollet resigned himself to the Common Market with Germany. He stopped telling the Germans "not yet," and started saying, "under these conditions."
Also that month, France and Britain were secretly preparing to retake the Suez Canal from Egypt -- a venture they started in November, but which the British halted a few days later (without consulting France!) after markets crushed the British pound, and the Americans refused to help financially, because Eisenhower was furious about the Suez invasion.
Mollet's interest in Suez was to stop Egyptians supplies to the Algerian independent fighters. So his offer of an abstract "union" might be seen not only in terms of trying to avoid Franco-German integration that excluded Britain. Mollet was also hoping for support, even secondary support, for his passionate war against Algerian independence. (Some one million white Frenchmen and -women made their homes in Algeria.)
The Anglo-French "union" offer was abstract and hypothetical. If Mollet told someone on the phone that France might accept Queen Elizabeth -- a claim documented only afterwards in a memo of a phone conversation -- that can be regarded as an off-the-cuff remark.
If the French government really wants to explore Mollet's nonetheless bizarre overture, it should pursue not only its official archives, but also the memories and papers still in the possession of Mollet's closest staff (French: "cabinet") collaborators.

Paula Dockery fighting early primary day
State Sen. Paula Dockery, R-Lakeland, is calling on Republicans to lobby the committee created to set Florida presidential primary date and urge them to comply with the RNC rules on the nominating calendar. The RNC is forbidding everybody but Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina from holding elections before March 6. The odds of her convincing party leaders to back off Jan. 31? Slim.
Here's her letter:
Since the announcement that Republican Party leadership plans to move the Florida primary date to January 31, I have heard an outpouring of concern from constituents and party activists. While we are all in agreement that Florida is an important state that should play a key role in the national election, attempting to circumvent existing rules or force the hand of the Republican National Convention likens Florida to a child throwing a tantrum because she isn't getting her way.
I agree wholeheartedly with the comments from Paul Senft, Florida's National Committeeman, the resolution from the Polk County Republican Executive Committee and the position taken by the Florida Federation of Republican Women. It is abundantly clear that Republican National Committee fully intends to penalize the Florida delegation for failure to follow the rules by loss of delegates, loss of guest passes, unfavorable seating, and unfavorable lodging. These penalties which would remove half of Florida's delegates, would result in the loss of Florida's ability to have a significant impact in the nomination of the presidential candidate, and hurt the ability of the host committee to raise the necessary funds for the convention.
The case has not been made for how Florida would benefit by moving the primary from early March to late January. In fact, Florida would benefit more by having a full slate of delegates for abiding by the rules, for continuing to have all of the candidates visit our state and spend money in our state over a longer period of time, and for not setting off the domino effect among other states all wanting to follow suit and jump their place in line.
The committee that will vote tomorrow is made up of the following nine individuals. Please contact them to make your voices heard.

Which wouldnt be so bad except the government in canada and the US offer rebates on R&D for new products.Each yr these companies come out with new IMPROVED R&D
rebates so your money is gravy.Everytime some moron buys a stick for over 200 thats what makes the CEO's say hey lets try for 250. If no one bought them the price would drop down to a reasonable amount. Sort of the same monopoly the leafs have in toronto with the leafs. Just because you have to much money doesnt mean you should waste it, and there by drive up prices.
I have never bought a stick for more then a hundread out of principle however if I do and it breaks you bet your ass its gettin replaced one way or the other.
More like a few hundred an hour (considering there's like a hour wait to get a hold of someone on warranty calls!)....And yes, R&D comes at a price but carbon fiber, kevlar, and graphite cost more than you think.

Update: Lawsuit filed over $1M winning lottery ticket
(KATV) Beebe - Everyday thousands of lottery tickets are purchased and thrown away, but a Beebe woman who instinctively picked up some discarded scratch off tickets in a gas station became an instant million dollar winner.
The ticket wasn't completely scratched off, now the store manager claims she should get the money.
It's the million dollar question, who is right. We can tell you, someone threw away one million dollars.
The Lottery Commission investigated this claim and gave Sharon Jones the winnings, she went home with $680,000, but it would be more exciting if it wasn't in escrow pending a court order. Jones hired an attorney last week.
Back in July Sharon Jones walked into the Super One Stop on Highway 64 where she buys lottery tickets regularly and picks up discarded tickets so she can redeem them on the Arkansas Scholarship Lottery website for points and second chance winnings.
But when she tried to input the ID number on the back of one of the tickets the website wouldn't accept it, her Attorney Jimmy Simpson explains, "It's because it was a million dollar winner that had not been scratched off. So when she looks into it she scratches it off and finds out that its a million dollar ticket it's kind of like the golden ticket in Willie Wonka."
Back then store manager Lisa Petriches told the Beebe newspaper the Jones' deserved it, now she's suing saying she should get the money because it was a discarded ticket in her store.
This picture of the trash can taken Wednesday shows signs that reads "Do Not Take" but regular customer James Osborne says the sign is new. When asked, "When you've come here in the past there is always a discarded pile that anyone can grab tickets?" He says yes, "There have always been tickets in the garbage and they've never said a word about it."
A one time $20,000 winner, Osborne bought the same type ticket that day at the same gas station. For all he knows it could have been his ticket, but no one wrote their name on the back of the ticket. He adds, "If they want to get really technical about it, the person who actually trashed the ticket, that's the person that should be getting the money if they want to go that route."
Simpson says, "We certainly believe that our client (Sharon Jones) is right and justice will prevail on her side."
The Lottery Commission recommends you sign the back of your tickets immediately.
Jones attorney's Simpson Simpson and Collier filed a motion to dismiss the case. The suit argues Jones committed fraud when she took the ticket out of the trash.
You can read what Channel Seven viewers are saying and add your thoughts on the KATV Facebook page.
Beebe (AP) - A worker at a Beebe gas station has sued the winner of a $1 million jackpot from an Arkansas lottery scratch ticket, claiming woman who cashed the ticket took it from her.
The Daily Citizen newspaper in Searcy reported (http://bit.ly/nqmnSq ) Tuesday that Super 1 Stop manager Lisa Petriches had a collection of discarded lottery tickets and that Sharon Jones took one without her permission.
The ticket in question hadn't been completely scratched and turned out to be a $1 million winner.
Jones' lawyer, Winston Collier, says Jones has removed used tickets from Petriches stack before without drawing an objection.
A judge has ordered Jones to not spend the prize money until the case is resolved.
The lottery offers secondary prizes for players who register their losing tickets online.

What they said: Bo Van PeltOctober 16, 2010
PGA TOUR staff
MORE INTERVIEWS: Frys.com Open transcript archive
MARK STEVENS: Bo, thanks for joining us after a successful 6 under, 65. You did the same thing in the first round. You have to feel good where you are heading into the final round. Kind of an interesting round there with bees and everything else. Just how you are feeling as you are heading into the final round.
BO VAN PELT: Obviously, I knew I had to shoot a low number today to have a chance. He will still have the lead going into tomorrow. It was good to shoot a low number to get a little bit closer.
I think that was the best start. I missed a little one on one and bogeyed 2 for like 110 yards in the whole fairway. I wasn't real happy after two holes. Kind of made a couple birdies.
And played well in the back nine. 13, 14, I missed a pretty easy putt for birdie and bogeyed 14 from the fairway. Wasn't a great exchange, but then hit a bunch of really good shots coming in and birdied two of the last four, which was a good way to finish.
MARK STEVENS: What was the hole -- take us through the whole bee incident.
BO VAN PELT: Well, I get down there and I got 65 yards. So I got a good chance to make birdie. Obviously, every one of them counts. And I was just going to hit it. I was like -- my caddie was like, no, we are getting that bee off of there.
Luckily I was pretty good at "Operation" when I was a kid. I got a pretty steady hand. I just used that tee. Every time I would get close to it, it would shrink down, just hunker down on that ball. I was like, This thing really may never leave.
I called (indiscernible) a couple days, but it just didn't want to go. I was trying for several minutes to get that thing. Usually if you get close to it, they are so skiddish they leave. But for whatever reason, that one didn't. I was glad I took the time. That was on 18. I hit a good shotfor birdie
Q. (Indiscernible.) You have to play your game. Is that a little demoralizing?
BO VAN PELT: There is a still a long way to go. Obviously, there was only four holes left. That one would have been a pretty tough blow to take.
He has always been a good West player, a really good iron player. It is no surprise. The first two days Troy Matteson and Jeff (indiscernible), they holed it from the fairway. I think I'm the only one that hasn't holed one from the fairway because I have seen a bunch of guys do it.
No, it wasn't demoralizing.
Q. After your first round, one of the main reasons you were here was to get a win. The one thing that kind of alludes you this year how do you feel after three rounds??
BO VAN PELT: Well, it is good to always have a chance. You never know how Sunday is going to go.
There are a lot of good players. You never know how Sunday is going to go, but I think the mark of a really good player -- and what we all striving for is to have as many chances as you can. How many chances can you get on Sunday to win. Winning is hard out here. There is a lot of good players, and everybody wants to do it. I think all you can hope for starting every week out is do I have a chance with nine holes to go and see what happens.
Q. (Indiscernible).
BO VAN PELT: You know, I liked basketball. I like football. Luckily for me, I was small for my age. It is hard to say that now, 6'4", 215. I kind of grew late.
So I played a lot of youth sports, youth basketball and stuff. But there were so many kids that were bigger than me that freshman year of high school, kind of that turning point where you just kind of look around and go, you know, probably not in the cards for me to be in either one of these.
And then sure enough, my junior year I really sprouted out. And then the next winter I was 6'3", 180. By that time I had taken a year off both of those. It just didn't make sense to go back.
And, you know, it was -- for longevity reasons, health reasons, it was probably a good call. (Laughter).
Q. (Indiscernible).
BO VAN PELT: The Eagles, yeah.
He played in the league just for a couple years. We kind of bounced around. He was a backup center and a long tackle. But I saw a tape of him playing college. He was pretty good. He played against Bubba Smith at Michigan State, Dick Butkus. (Indiscernible). He was a pretty good athlete.
Q. (Indiscernible).
BO VAN PELT: Yeah, he liked watching golf. My little nephew is starting to play and is present decent. So now his grandson -- he has a good time, fun time watching him play.
Q. This is an interesting course because it is a little different, going up and down and eagle temps at 17. Do players like a course like this, or would they rather have a more straightforward course??
BO VAN PELT: It is always good to have variety. We play 47 events a year. If every course was the same, it would be boring. I think it is good to have some courses where pars are at 4. And I think it is okay to have a course to have 20, 25 to win. Change it up a little bit.
You are not going to play every week out here. So I think it is okay to have courses that are different.

This is the culmination of seven years of planning, unsuccessful funding applications, research, fundraising activities, perseverance and hard work on the part of committee members and the village community. Eventually a bid application for £50,000 proved successful and construction started earlier this year. It is to be matched by an equal amount of money obtained through a loan which will be repaid from fundraising events organised by the tennis club.

Perhaps the negotiations were always meant to fail,
There's a reason that no one in Israel wanted Martin Indyk within a thousand miles of the negotiations. He's the man you bring in to do this kind of dirty work, as Adam Kredo at the Washington Free Beacon reveals.
The Obama administration has been waging a secret media war in capitals across two continents blaming Israel for the recent collapse of peace talks with the Palestinians, according to former Israeli diplomats and Washington, D.C. insiders familiar with the peace process.
Multiple sources told the Washington Free Beacon that top Obama administration officials have worked for the past several days to manufacture a crisis over the reissuing of housing permits in a Jerusalem neighborhood widely acknowledged as Israeli territory.
These administration officials have planted several stories in Israeli and U.S. newspapers blaming Israel for the collapse of peace talks and have additionally provided reporters with anonymous quotes slamming the Israeli government.
The primary source of these multiple reports has been identified as Middle East envoy Martin Indyk and his staff, according to these insiders, who said that the secret media campaign against Israel paved the way for Secretary of State John Kerry to go before Congress on Tuesday and publicly blame Israel for tanking the talks.
"The Palestinians didn't even know they were supposed to be abandoning negotiations because of these housing permits, which are actually old, reissued permits for areas everyone assumes will end up on the Israelis' side of the border anyway," said one senior official at a U.S. based pro-Israel organization who asked to remain anonymous because the Obama administration has in the past retaliated against critics from inside the pro-Israel world.
"Then Martin Indyk started telling anyone who would listen that in fact the Palestinians were angry over the housing issue," the source said. "Eventually, the Palestinians figured out it was in their interest to echo what the Americans were saying."
Indyk, who served as the U.S. ambassador to Israel during the Clinton administration, as well as in several other roles, was appointed by Obama to act as the U.S. special envoy for peace negotiations.
Appointing Indyk, a man widely loathed in Israel, suggests that perhaps the negotiations were always meant to fail, and their real objective was to sabotage Netanyahu.

MIAMI LAKES, Fla. - Voters endured hours in lines as early voting came to a close in Florida.
The last person to vote at the Miami Lakes Public Library finished just after 1 a.m. Sunday, Local 10's Christina Vasquez reported.
At least 50 people were waiting in line to vote at 11:30 p.m. Saturday.
Early Voting Locations: Miami-Dade County | Broward County
Some sites in Miami-Dade and Broward counties reported a wait time of about four hours.
Voters in Miami Lakes told Vasquez they had waited, at most, seven hours.
Estimated Wait Times: Miami-Dade County | Broward County
Workers said the first person to vote Saturday camped outside the library from 2:15 a.m. until polls opened at 7 a.m.
Amid long lines across the state, Democratic U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson stood outside one jammed polling place in Orange County to call on the Republican governor to extend early voting through Sunday — but to no avail.
The face-off was the latest over what Democrats allege are Republican efforts to limit participation because early voting is widely seen as benefitting Democrats in some states.
The dispute comes a dozen years after Republican George W. Bush's razor-thin win in the state following a U.S. Supreme Court decision to halt a recount.
Scott and state officials continued to insist there were no reasons to keep polls open beyond the eight days already authorized in state law. The GOP-controlled Florida Legislature last year rolled back the number of early-voting days from a maximum of 14 days to eight days. The move triggered a legal battle, but the reduction was upheld by federal courts.
During a Republican campaign event in Orange Park on Friday, Scott stressed that any Florida voter who got in line before polls closed Saturday would get a chance to vote.
"People are getting out to vote. That's what's very good," Scott said. "People are getting out to vote, they're voting absentee, they're voting early voting...I'm focused on making sure that we have fair, honest elections. One thing to know, these early voting days and on Election Day, if you're there by the time the polls close, you get to vote."
Nelson, however, said that the cut in early voting days was "intended to suppress the vote."
The senator sent a letter to Scott in which he said that the problems could be "jeopardizing the credibility of Florida's election." He asked Scott to use his emergency powers to keep the polls open.
Nelson, who himself is seeking re-election, cited the long lines and problems with limited parking as reasons to extend early voting one more day "in the interest of fairness."
"You've never seen lines like this," Nelson said. "...We ought to be making voting convenient for the voter. We shouldn't be making it more difficult."
Even before the final weekend before the election, some 3.9 million Floridians had voted early or through the mail, according to state election officials. There are nearly 12 million active registered voters in the state.
Long lines were reported across the state, including a six-hour wait time at one early-voting site in Miami-Dade County. Monroe County Supervisor of Elections Harry Sawyer asked for more early-voting time, but was told by state officials that no emergency existed to justify an extension.
"As state officials, we are bound to follow the law," Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner wrote Sawyer.
James Colimon was waiting in line at the early voting site at the Winter Park library in Orange County but he had to leave two and a half hours later to pick up his daughter. He said his wife was still in line and that he planned to return later.
"I wish the governor would have extended early voting," Colimon said.
Later in the day, however, voting was suspended at that site because of a cooler found outside the library. The discovery prompted officials to evacuate the building. A bomb squad was called in, which took the cooler and planned to blow it up.
In Miami-Dade County, nearly 236,000 people cast ballots during early voting. In Broward, just under 250,000 voted early.

Trooper admits using state credit for personal gas
A former state trooper has pleaded guilty to violating state ethics laws by using a state credit card to buy gas for personal use.
{}Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange says 50-year-old Terry Stallworth, of Mobile, appeared Wednesday in Mobile County Circuit Court. He was sentenced to two years of probation and is ordered to pay about $1,500 in court costs, fines and restitution.
{}Authorities say Stallworth bought more than $500 worth of gas for his personal vehicle with a state credit card on his days off.{}
Another ex-trooper, Jonathon Dees, pleaded guilty in Tuscaloosa County to similar charges in November of 2012. A third former trooper, Kenneth Grissett, was indicted in February of 2012 and is expected to go to trial in Tuscaloosa County.

In its statement, the group said its members were, quoting, "shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders."
The organization released the following statement via email on Tuesday afternoon:
The National Rifle Association of America is made up of four million moms and dads, sons and daughters – and we were shocked, saddened and heartbroken by the news of the horrific and senseless murders in Newtown.

The NRA is planning to hold a major news conference in the Washington, DC area on Friday, December 21.
Details will be released to the media at the appropriate time.

text: Poca man found guilty of having child porn By Kate White June 26, 2012 Story Share WINFIELD -- A Poca man was found guilty Tuesday of possessing child pornography after his lawyer tried to put the blame on the man's 10-year-old son, saying the boy wanted to impress a teenage girl with the images. William Burt Shingleton, 45, of Poca, was found guilty in Putnam County Circuit Court of 20 counts of possessing material visually portraying a minor engaged in sexually explicit conduct. He faces 40 years in prison and will be sentenced at 9 a.m. on Sept. 12.A jury of seven women and five men deliberated for about 30 minutes in the trial that began Monday. Shingleton, a father of four, stood shaking his head with his arms folded and eyes closed as Judge Phillip Stowers read "guilty" 20 times.Shingleton's sons, ages 15, 12 and 10, were present in the courtroom Tuesday as the verdict was read. At that moment they looked to their mother, Angel Shingleton, who was weeping with her head down.Police seized Shingleton's computer in April 2010 after Shingleton's brother-in-law gave police a thumb drive that his daughter had discovered that contained pornographic images.Lori Gil of Poca testified during the trial. She has dated the brother of Shingleton's wife for four years and said some family members blame her and her boyfriend for the guilty verdict."[William Shingleton] has a 2-month-old baby girl. I have a daughter," Gil said tearfully after the trial. "We had to do something ... Nobody wins in this situation."Gil said after the verdict that Shingleton and his attorney, James Atkins, of Buffalo, had initially tried to place blame on his 10-year-old son for downloading the images. The 10-year-old was outside the state at the time the images were downloaded, assistant prosecutor Kristina Raynes said during closing arguments."One of those kids was going to take the rap for his dad until we figured out he wasn't in the state," Raynes told jurors.Atkins said in his closing arguments there was no evidence linking Shingleton to the child pornography. He said Shingleton's 10-year-old son was "smitten" with a teenage girl and wanted to "impress" her with the images and "test the waters."Atkins also said there was no reason jurors should have been shown the pornographic images by prosecutors."Why did you really have to see this stuff? These images were intended to enrage and embarrass," he said. "Not one of you needed those images to vote for either side."Atkins said a computer expert that testified didn't check to see whether Shingleton's Internet router was secure or if anyone else had access to the computer on which the images were found.Raynes told jurors that Shingleton would use Internet search terms like "cute girls" or "younger looking girls," not "cute women." After the verdict, Raynes told the judge she planned to ask for an enhanced sentence based on Shingleton's criminal history. According to the Kanawha County Circuit Clerk's office, Shingleton was found guilty of forgery in 1993, and of obtaining by false pretenses in 2008. After he violated probation tied to the 2008 case, Shingleton was sentenced to one to 10 years and he has been incarcerated since last August, according to the circuit clerk's office.

text: Our trip is August 21-28th Hi! Here I am waffling again. Why does choosing a resort have to be so darn hard?? Originally I was going to stay at CSR to save some money, then I changed my mind on the request of my 13 yo son (who is my travel companion on this upcoming trip) and booked back at our old favourite (AkL Club Level)...Now reading about the movies at night on the beach and awesome pool, closeness to 2 of our favourite parks (DHS and Epcot) and the boardwalk energy...well...I am now considering Beach Club with Deluxe Dining instead of club level access. This trip is special... it is most likely my last one for a very long time (at least 5+ years) and it is only my teen son and I who will be going. I want it to be memorable and functional, and I really want to be happy with my resort choice. Stay with "old faithful", or "venture on to something new"....that is the question haunting me daily!!! They sure don't make it easy to pick something and be content, I always seem to double guess and waffle back and forth, back and forth I so badly want to make the best choice for our trip!! So....it is down to these 2: Beach Club with Deluxe Dining or Animal Kingdom Lodge, Basic Dining, Club level

Buzz! Quiz World PSP
- Publisher: SCEA
- Release Date: Dec 17, 2009
- Also On: PlayStation 3
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Buzz! Quiz World tries to offer an alternative for the console version. Unfortunately this game doesn't really succeed in bringing forth a real quiz feel, especially because of the limitations of the PSP. Its short lifespan – with all modes – will make you put down this game relatively fast.
As far as presentation, my only complaint is that Buzz talks too much and repeats himself far too often. Outside of that, the rest of the audio presentation is fine, the graphics are good, and the load times are great. So while you won't find the flashy presentation of the PS3 version, you certainly will find a very competent, functional, and good presentation here.
Buzz! Quiz World for the PSP had the potential to be a great compliment to the PS3 version by offering a similar but portable-friendly experience that fit the PSP well, but numerous annoyances, odd handling of the large pool of questions, and completely barren online play makes the group this game could appeal to a very small crowd.
While it is a respectable game, BUZZ! Quiz World suffers from a bad case of Little Sibling Syndrome, as the PS3 offers a much better BUZZ experience.
Maybe in a few months with enough user-generated and downloadable content, Buzz! QW might be worth looking at. As is, however, it is nothing more than a completely lackluster, dull, and boring trivia game.
There's definitely a better presentation to the modes and I dig the new color scheme, but the game's littered with issues. Why have the option for set names if Buzz won't say them? Why not let me download MyBuzz quizzes to the PSP to play on the go? Why not be able to tell the game I can't use sound like in Brain Age? Why have so many questions repeat so quickly?
I appreciate them trying to extend the longevity by allowing easy access to user made content, but they forgot to put the party in this party game, and what's left without that is nothing more than a bland trivia game.
Buzz Quiz World is a fun game, its just a pity that the few flaws it does have keeps it from being a great one.

JohnEJan 17, 2010I'm a big fan of Buzz! it's one of the quiz games out due to the variety of subjects it has on offer. If you have played Quiz World I'm a big fan of Buzz! it's one of the quiz games out due to the variety of subjects it has on offer. If you have played Quiz World on the PS3 all the modes are on this version expect for the grunge round. It also includes game sharing so you play it with a friend/family who doesn't have the game. Pros: The game has a strong single player mode, multi player is good fun, game sharing included, it now has access to My Buzz Quiz, and online support. Cons: No one is ever online, you cannot download My Buzz quiz (these are quizzes that people create online) so if you want to them while your out you can't you must need an internet connection this should be patched so that you can download them at home and play them when ever you want, Buzz repeats himself far to much, some question do repeat quite often. It's still worth the money it's an enjoyable Buzz! game more people just need to get online and Sony need to market the game more.… Full Review »

Graduate Students
Texas Coastal Colleges Evacuating Ahead of Hurricane Ike
Colleges and universities along Texas' Gulf Coast began emptying out today in anticipation of Hurricane Ike's arrival by early Saturday, possibly as a Category 3 or 4 storm.
Texas A&M University at Corpus Christi, which bills itself as "The Island University" because of its location on a small coastal island, ordered everyone except essential personnel to leave. International students and some staff members were bused to Texas A&M International University, in Laredo.
Staff members at the university's art museum, which looks out at Corpus Christi Bay, were scrambling to wrap and elevate valuable paintings. A Gulf research center was planning to move boats to a local mall's parking garage. Faculty and staff members were sent home to begin securing their houses and then, for many, evacuating inland.
The University of Texas Medical Branch, in Galveston, has not evacuated patients, but officials there said the university would close tomorrow because the area was expected to be hit with tropical-storm winds and a storm surge by early Friday. Dry ice was being delivered to research buildings, and researchers were told to load their freezers in anticipation of power outages.
Del Mar College, a community college in Corpus Christi, also closed on Wednesday.
The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College have begun piling sandbags around buildings and preparing to board windows, "but right now, we're just watching the progress of the storm to see where it goes," said Leticia Fernandez, a spokeswoman for the joint campuses.
The University of Houston-Victoria and Texas A&M University at Kingsville also closed on Wednesday. The Kingsville campus plans to start evacuating students tomorrow morning.
Other Texas colleges announcing closures included Brazosport College, in Lake Jackson; San Jacinto College, in Pasadena; and the University of Houston-Clear Lake. —Katherine Mangan

A recently released campaign ad by French presidential candidate Francois Hollande shows him visiting France's rougher suburbs over a soundtrack of the Jay Z and Kanye West song 'N**gas in Paris.'
The clip uses the song over images of the socialist candidate Hollande visiting poorer French suburbs in an attempt to highlight his understanding of a multicultural French society using a more "raw" format.
It is still unclear whether the video has been approved by Hollande or it was simply created by supporters calling themselves by a Twitter hashtag #2H12CREW.
Hollande defeated French president Sarkozy in France's recent elections but must face him in a runoff vote on May 6.
Unlike Hollande, Sarkozy has had an uneasy relationship with France's immigrant-heavy poorer suburbs, said MTV.
According to Time, as interior minister under French President Chirac, Sarkozy threatened to clean one riotous neighborhood of thugs ('racaille') with a high-pressure hose.
Hollande currently enjoys about a 12-point lead in the polls.

Best Wishes
A delayed reaction to a loss: When I think of all the years that I have knocked on the doors of City Hall seeking information and guidance, I take note that I always found the help wished for in the cheery response of one Chantal Doriott.
She was the effective connection to city divisions and personalities and the steady chronicler of city action and inaction.
I am glad that she has found new work that is significantly closer to her home and a job that offers her a more normal daylight shift. But, I miss her and I'm sure that city operations have felt the loss.
Good luck Chantal. We wish you nothing but the very best.

Explanation Sought
Politicians are a confusing bunch. State Sen. Sean Nienow is a Tea Party/Republican example of a no-need-for-government-help and take-personal-responsibility type of a politician.
Now in reality it seems Sen. Nienow owes nearly three-quarter of a million dollars that news reports describe as non-payment of a government small business loan.
Yes, Senator we expect you to beg, borrow, sell assets and do what is necessary to keep your promise to the taxpayers of this nation and pay back the money you borrowed.
What did you do with the money, Senator? We the taxpayers are entitled to know what you spent the money on and how you plan to pay it back.
Where are the assets of the business? We need an accurate accounting; nothing less will do. Taking the easy way out by filing for bankruptcy and leaving the taxpayers on the hook is also unacceptable.
Sen. Nienow should have followed his own statement he made in 2011: "Get government out of the way and provide a favorable environment for businesses to succeed on their own merit."
What merit would that be, Senator?

Thankful Teachers
The Southwest Junior High English Department would like to publicly thank our PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization), Principal Marc Peterson and students for 32 Chromebook computers.
The money to purchase the computers was raised last year in a walk-a-thon for technology. The PTO recently voted to purchase new computers for our English teachers to use in the classroom. Principal Peterson also purchased mobile carts and printers with some of this year's money that was raised in the "Move for Southwest" fundraiser.
We look forward to further engaging our students in fun and innovative classroom activities with the new computers.
We would especially like to thank PTO members Sue Tower and Lisa Peterson for their vision and help in this endeavor.
Thank you.
Kim MacDonald
On behalf of the Southwest Jr. High English Department

I don't know why but the branches on the tree looks like moving alittle... Is it suppose to be like that? :3
Yes, miss. The details in the tree are intentionally different in many ways than the rest of the piece. I am glad you enjoyed, and thank you for taking the time to review.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
A perfect spot for -fishing
I'm glad it resonated at some level. Thanks for taking the time to review.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
This is a wonderful piece, the concept behind it is brilliant and I'm especially fond of how well the reflection work looks through the water.
My only other thought is that the tree looks slightly too sharp but that's probably just a side-effect of the grainy art-style incorporated into the piece.
Overall a very nice piece :)
Thanks for taking the time to review. I'm glad you enjoyed. The tree is a bit crisper on purpose, I'm glad you noticed :) . It is common for me to incorporate an element or two that is a bit 'off' or asymetrical in many of my works [audio and visual].

DENVER, November 29, 2001 ? A group representing more than 21,000 Qwest retirees today said it will support the efforts of Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q) to re-enter the long-distance business in 14 Western states where it provides local service. The retiree association is supporting Qwest?s efforts because the consumer benefits of long-distance re-entry, including significant customer savings, will help its members and benefit communities throughout the West.
?We support Qwest?s long-distance re-entry because the consumer benefits will help our members and strengthen the communities where they live,? said Nelson Phelps, executive director for the retiree association. ?Our members helped build the telecommunications network in much of the Western United States, and we have every interest in ensuring that the network, and our communities, stay strong into the future.?
?We?re pleased to have the support of our retirees,? said Steve Davis, Qwest senior vice president of policy and law. ?We?re coming down the home stretch in our efforts to offer customers a real choice for long-distance service and, with the help of our retirees, we?ll soon be able to deliver savings to our customers.?
The association represents six separate retiree organizations within Qwest?s local service region. It was formed in 1999 with the goal of protecting and enhancing the benefits of retirees. The association has more than 21,000 members among the total 45,000 Qwest retirees. On November 15, the Communications Workers of America, the world?s largest telecommunications union, representing 37,000 Qwest employees, announced that it will support Qwest's efforts to re-enter the long-distance business.
A study by Professor Jerry A. Hausman, director of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Telecommunications Economics Research Program, found that customers in Qwest?s local service territory could save well over $1 billion annually in local and long-distance charges. Additionally, a report by Consumer Action, an independent consumer non-profit organization, found that long-distance rates are increasing everywhere except in states where the local exchange carrier, such as Qwest, has been approved to offer competitive long-distance services. The study found that rates actually decreased in these states.
Recent analysis shows Qwest?s wholesale service quality is comparable or better on key performance measures as SBC Communications, whose long-distance applications for Missouri and Arkansas were recently approved by the Federal Communications Commission. Ninety-three percent of the wholesale performance indicators that Qwest measures monthly to support its re-entry into the long-distance business meet or exceed either the benchmark standard or are at parity with retail measurements.
Testing of Qwest?s operational support systems (OSS) is making steady progress. The Regional Oversight Committee?s OSS testing process, made up of regulators from 13 states in Qwest?s local service territory, is more than 80 percent complete. When Qwest acquired U S WEST, the company had to divest itself of its long-distance operations in the 14 Western states where U S WEST provided local service. Under the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Qwest can re-enter the long-distance business once its application to the FCC has been approved.
Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q) is a leader in reliable, scalable and secure broadband data, voice and image communications for businesses and consumers. The Qwest Macro Capacity® Fiber Network, designed with the newest optical networking equipment for speed and efficiency, spans more than 190,000 miles globally.

Readers are referred to the documents filed by Qwest Communications International Inc. (together with its affiliates, ?Qwest?, ?we? or ?us?) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, specifically the most recent reports which identify important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward-looking statements, including but not limited to: potential fluctuations in quarterly results; volatility of Qwest?s stock price; intense competition in the markets in which we compete; changes in demand for our products and services; the duration and extent of the current economic downturn; adverse economic conditions in the markets served by us or by companies in which we have substantial investments; dependence on new product development and acceleration of the deployment of advanced new services, such as broadband data, wireless and video services, which could require substantial expenditure of financial and other resources in excess of contemplated levels; higher than anticipated employee levels, capital expenditures and operating expenses; rapid and significant changes in technology and markets; adverse changes in the regulatory or legislative environment affecting our business, delays in our ability to provide interLATA services within our 14-state local service area; failure to maintain rights-of-way; and failure to achieve the projected synergies and financial results expected to result from the acquisition of U S WEST, and difficulties in combining the operations of the combined company. This release may include analysts? estimates and other information prepared by third parties for which we assume no responsibility. We undertake no obligation to review or confirm analysts? expectations or estimates or to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

SANTA CRUZ -- Malfunctioning stoplights at the intersection of River Street and Highway 1 on Wednesday morning clogged traffic for several hours at the Fishhook, California Highway Patrol officials said.
About 7 a.m., the stoplights went on the fritz, officer Brad Sadek said.
"It doesn't take long, if that light's not working, for traffic to get backed up into the Fishhook," Sadek said.
Though motorists likely treated the intersection as a four-way stop sign, the complexity of the intersection likely made it difficult to navigate, Sadek said.
"I'm sure it was just chaos there," he said.
By about 9:30 a.m., Cal Trans crews restored function to the lights.

ASCON Group, developer and integrator of professional CAD/AEC/PLM software solutions, hosted its award-winning KOMPAS-3D mechanical CAD software at EMO Hannover earlier this month. At the show, the company's preview of the next release of its software, KOMPAS-3D V13, was met with high interest by attendees.
From 19 through 24 September, the ASCON stand at the flagship fair was popular with designers, engineers, industrial company executives, students, and others interested in high-performance 3D design. International visitors from the metalworking industry paid special attention to the broad collaboration capabilities of KOMPAS-3D, its advanced surface modeling functions, add-on for steel structure design, and FEM capabilities — as well as its intuitive and user-friendly interface, and very reasonable price for a system that operates at such a high level.
KOMPAS-3D V13 is due to be released a month's time. The new version of KOMPAS-3D includes more than 100 updates and improvements. Among them are:
Usability improvements;
Solid modeling and drawing improvement;
Surface modeling;
BOM reports of 2D geometry elements;
New Add-Ons.
"We trays to take part in the main important international industrial fairs, including Hannover Messe, Euromold, AMB, and EMO," explained Maxim Bogdanov, CEO of ASCON Group. "It provide us with a great opportunity to present our professional solutions in 3D solid modeling, KOMPAS-3D, and 2D design, KOMPAS-Graphic, to potential customers. "The time we spend with show attendees gives us the opportunity to better to understand their needs," he continued. "When we attend the same exhibitions as our customers, we are showing our support for them. Exhibitions also provides us with an effective way to demonstrate new features in the upcoming software, which we will be shipping very soon. The time I spent at EMO enabled me to make many contacts with potential and current partners, our interesting customers and to meet prospective ones".
During the course of the six days at EMO 2011, ASCON distributed many free demo and trial versions of KOMPAS-3D V12, allowing fair goers to further familiarize themselves with the software. The trial version is also available online at http://ascon.net/download/kompas.
