DSU College Republicans hosted the Mayor's debate to a full house. The questions were pre-selected from the community before the debate. There were seven questions total, with one question from each candidates for the other. Areas of discussion were illegal drug distribution in the city, water resource management, economic growth, and if being a native of St. George is an advantage or a disadvantage.
Each candidate had three minutes to present their thoughts for each question. Then they could rebuttal if they so desired too.
When asked if being a native of St. George is an advantage or a disadvantage, Mayor McArthur said, "I'm a native of St. George. Not only do I know the area, not only do I know the people in the cities, but we can make the proper decisions; we know what is right for our community as we continue to grow and what we need to have in our communities."
Councilman Jon Pike said in his rebuttal, "I moved to St George eighteen years ago. I think it's a great benefit half or more of this population of St George city area were not born here. That we actually have different perspectives, and some different experiences, so I believe that I can make good decision on behalf of the city."
Both candidates presented strong reasons why they would be the best choice for St George City Mayor.
On the fifth of November, voters will have the chance to decide who will come out the winner as the new Mayor of St George at the St. George City Hall.

Unless you've been away for a couple of months, the legend of Justin Schultz has washed over you and the Schultz-mania that will sweep our city the moment the lockout ends is something you're anticipating. What about the rest of the OKC defense? Are they progressing? Which of these young men is emerging as an NHL option, and who is getting left behind?
(Photo courtesy Rob Ferguson, all rights reserved. Check out the women behind the OKC bench. They seem to be anticipating the Teubert blow).
Coach Todd Nelson seems to have decided on his pairings and pecking order. The defense most often looks like this these days in OKC:
- Martin Marincin-Justin Schultz
- Taylor Fedun-Colten Teubert
- Alex Plante-one of several
The second pairing waivers from time to time, but from my observation that's the group. Marincin-Schultz most often play with the Hall line, so I'd hesitate to suggest they are playing the tough minutes, but they appear to be out against the other team's best (which makes sense) so they do get extra points for it.
The Barons are 42-35 (+7) at even strength over the first 20 games of the season. If we assume that each pairing plays equal minutes (which is untrue), the "expected" plus minus for each defenseman would be +2.3; the Barons defense varies wildly in that department:
- Justin Schultz 20gp, +14
- Martin Marincin 18gp, +12
- Taylor Fedun 18gp, E
- Colten Teubert 18gp, E
- Jordan Henry 10gp, E
- Dan Ringwald 7gp, E
- Brandon Davidson, 6gp, E
- Teigan Zahn, 5gp, E
- Alex Plante, 16gp, -4
The Schultz plus minus number is the best on the Barons (and in the entire AHL), Plante's is team worst. The top two plus minus numbers are clearly "wind-aided" from playing with the big line, credit to the pairing they are clearly contributing to the success (Schultz, incredibly, remains the league leader in points and we're well into the season).
I don't think much has changed in that department since the beginning of the year. My guess would be:
- Justin Schultz (duh)
- Colten Teubert
- Taylor Fedun
- Martin Marincin
- Alex Plante
I guess that's the one thing we can take from the season's first two games (aside from the dominance of the top pairing). Alex Plante--about 200 games into his pro career--appears to be drowning in injuries and lack of mobility. He won NHL games played bragging rights over father Cam 10 to 2, but those concussions have taken their toll.
Schultz was always going to the NHL the moment the lockout ended, but I don't think Marincin gets a call this season (aside from a cup of coffee) if they play big league hockey. I do believe Colten Teubert is clearly ahead of Alex Plante now in the "Andy Sutton's done" sweepstakes and that Taylor Fedun has entered the conversation.
There's a long way to go for all of these kids, save Schultz and Plante who appear to be going in opposite directions. The thrill of victory, the agony of defeat. Its all on the OKC blue this season.

The Oilers need the next Ryan Kesler.
Question is....who is it?
That person would be Aleksander Sasha Barkov.
6'3 - 210lbs excellent two way center who use's both skill and size much the same way Lindros did.
The only way the Oilers get him is to play this season. No season, no lottery position.
Next choice would be Monahan.

text: Sherwood's Music opened in classic Asheville form on Friday with a boozy party of friends and well wishers that included stellar sets from Electric Owls, Ice Cream and curtains. In addition to offering repair services for everything from large-format consoles to classic Moog gear, the shop hosts an assortment of vintage instruments and amplifiers on consignment, which lined the walls during the dim-lit, late-night affair. The crowd was familiar and well acquainted, the space cozy and crowded, and the celebration had the comfortable familiarity of a college house party. We arrived just as curtains, the moniker for Dash Lewis' one-man vocal landscapes, closed the opening set, but even catching a few minutes of the soaring display of looping enginuity was enough to leave an impression. You can catch curtains again on Oct. 22 when Lewis opens for If You Wannas free performance at The Grey Eagle. Here's some footage from the rest of the evening.

Thank you, great improvements all round.
Thank you, great improvements all round.
I added a field on the new release section for "Discussion Link" where scanlators can link to a thread on this or their own forums or new posts where the chapter or series can be discussed in more detail.
Thus, with this change we'll be fixing the links on all FUTURE releases that choose to link to their thread in the direct download field when it just has a link to a free host (mu/rs/ss/mu) on it. The DDL fields are now for DDLs only (linking to a page that has a real DDL on it is still acceptable) ^^
Example of the discussion link: http://www.mangashare.com/dl/Bleach_-100/1766/
Edit: Also, the "Who's Online" display is back, but it no longer shows people browsing the homepage. This reduces the numbers a bit but it gives a more accurate representation of who's actually on the forum section, which I think is better.
Awesome! Thank you, Blud!
What about a different scanalator color.
lets go with brown

Max Planck Research Groups
The Max Planck Research Group on Plant Foods in Hominin Dietary Ecology seeks to explore some of the complex relationships between the diet and the biology and behavior of our ancestors, including their relationship with the environment, the development of human social structures, and the adoption of new technologies.
The Max Planck Research Group on Single Cell Genomics uses single cell genomics data to reconstruct developmental pathways, lineage hierarchies, and tissue heterogeneity in humans. We integrate single cell measurements with signatures of positive selection and comparisons with great apes to understand the molecular mechanisms that define the modern human condition.
Research groups hosted by the institute
Max Planck Weizmann Center for Integrative Archaeology and Anthropology (MPWC)
The Max Planck Weizmann Center for Integrative Archaeology and Anthropology (MPWC) is an interdisciplinary cooperation between the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology (MPI-EVA) in Leipzig, Germany, and the Weizmann Institute of Science (WIS) in Rehovot, Israel. The central goal of the MPWC is to better understand human evolution by drawing on expertise from archaeology, anthropology, biology, physics and material sciences.
Junior Research Group of Primate Kin Selection
Understanding the impact of kinship upon the evolution of social behavior is one of the central questions in Behavioral Ecology. Kin selection theory predicts that animals can increase their fitness by allocating more cooperation to kin than to non-kin.
The Cuvette Centrale as Reservoir of Medicinal Plants
Our research of terrestrial biodiversity intends to identify and quantify the flora of specific sites in the Central Congo Basin (Cuvette Centrale) with respect to the historic, current and potential future anthropogenic use. In the long run, identification of these socio-cultural and economic aspects of biodiversity may help to better conserve endangered refuges of local and global significance.

"The Best Money I Ever Spent on Tack"
I have a metal plate in my back and still have serious pain problems. Trotting gave me stabbing pain. I didn't think this was going to work, but I want to keep riding. So I tried it. First time was a charm. That pain is now absent from my back! This gel pad truly works. You will not waste a cent of your money. Forget the weight, the fleece-whatever, you can have someone cover it with material. This gel seat is the real deal. Anyone with lower back pain should have a gel seat saver for riding. I'm beyond happy!
"Impact Gel Seat Saver"
I can only say it is a 5 star rating. By far the best seat cushion EVER! Glad that a good friend of mine told me about it. Money well spend!!!!
"Impact Gel Seat Saver"
This is a very comfortable pad. I do have issues with the way it attaches to the saddle. Also for the price of this pad, I was surprised that it has a synthetic seat cover. After some use it starts to knap and doesn't seem like it will wear as well a real wool.
"So comfie!!"
I agree with Faith, this seat saver is worth the weight! The gel is thick and dense -- very impact-resistant. Before putting this on my endurance saddle, I would be sore before an hour. Now I can ride for many hours, no problem. Only wish they made one like this for my English saddle, too!
"Love it!"
I have a fractured tail bone from way back that I fell on a couple of months ago, bringing the pain right back. I rode the seat saver this weekend up & down some pretty steep trails and it was so comfortable. The non-slip tacky bottom kept it in place wonderfully. I would definitely recommend this product.
"Impact Gel Seat Saver"
Because this seat saver is heavy, I almost sent it back. So glad I didn't. It is extremely comfortable and holds up on long rides. Over the years my jeans have become uncomfortable to ride in so I've had to buy riding pants which I dislike. I can ride all day in my jeans with this seat saver and I'm comfortable. Great product!

Bulbs are a great investment for any size garden because they provide an array of colors and fragrances year after year. Below are simple steps to planting the perfect bulb garden.
It's best to plant spring flowering bulbs in the fall. In the North, it's best to plant in September and October. In the South and West, the best time of the year to plant bulbs is in November and December. You want the soil temperatures to be below 60 degrees before you put your bulbs into the ground. Once the night time air temperatures are below 60 degrees consistently, the soil temperatures will be the same.
Bulbs prefer full sun and well drained soils. It's also a great idea to mix bulbs in with annuals and perennials, once the bulbs are finished blooming, the annual and perennial foliage will cover up and mask the bulb foliage. Keep in mind that bulbs look best planted in clumps or drifts.
For the spring bloomers (crocuses, tulips, hyacynths, or daffodils), no need for extra water if you get at least a couple of inches of precipitation per month through the winter. The bulb is a self-contained food supply for the flower. For lilies, gladiolus, and other summer bloomers they need about a half-inch of water twice a week.

If the current version of the proposed teacher evaluation regulations is adopted by the State Board of Education, New Jersey's students will be taking more tests—standardized and otherwise—than ever before. And because students will spend period after period taking these tests, the curriculum will narrow as the doctrine of "what is tested is what is taught" casts a shadow over our state.
The N.J. Department of Education (NJDOE) has proposed that teachers of grades 4-8 math and language arts have 35 percent of their annual summative rating based on student growth on the NJ ASK. At this point, grades 4-8 math and language arts teachers comprise less than 20 percent of our teacher workforce. But as standardized tests are developed for more courses, and we know they will be, more students will be taking tests and more teachers will have Student Growth Percentiles (SGPs).
What about the 80+ percent of teachers who currently do not teach a tested subject or grade level? Fifteen percent of their summative ratings will be based on Student Growth Objectives (SGOs). The department defines SGOs as "academic goals for groups of students that can be tracked using objective measures." Wondering what those objective measures might be? You guessed it—more tests, such as "national norm-referenced tests (e.g., Advanced Placement exams, DIBELS), state-developed tests (e.g., biology end-of-course exam), and district-developed tests (e.g., final exams, benchmark tests)."
To be fair, the department has stated that a locally developed measure of student growth need not be a test—it could be some type of portfolio or performance assessment. In certain subjects, such as art, physical education and music, these approaches make sense. But there seems little doubt that in many classes, students will be increasingly subjected to paper and pencil tests--all for the purpose of evaluating their teacher.
Naturally, some of these tests will have to be given during the first week of school. Pre-tests will become the norm as it will be difficult to determine how much students have grown academically during a school year without knowing the level of their skills and knowledge in September. Few things undermine a student's confidence and motivation more than a test on something he or she has yet to be taught.
If the NJDOE has its way, student growth data will be given even greater emphasis in teacher evaluation in the years ahead. Department officials have expressed their hope that SGPs and SGOs will eventually count for 50 percent of a teacher's rating. And because principals will also be judged on student growth data under the proposed evaluation system, the inevitable push for higher test scores will mean more time spent on test prep and less time for learning. Some schools are already considering special sessions on the Common Core in math and language arts at the expense of instruction in science and social studies.
NJEA has made this argument time and time again, but it bears repeating: too much emphasis on test scores will weaken good teaching and increase stress for students. Test scores are appropriate when used as one part of multiple measures of student performance, but those multiple measures must include more than a variety of standardized tests. For the sake of the children, teacher evaluation should focus on teacher practice and not on high-stakes tests that fail to increase student achievement.

France 1854 – 1932
Couple in the street
[Couple dans la rue] 1887
oil on canvas
canvas 38.5 (h) x 33.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase 1950
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
In this small, intimate portrayal of a couple in an unremarkable Parisian street, the mundane subject choice is deliberate. Angrand's commitment to the popular anarcho-socialist ideals of the time meant that for him the life of the ordinary, working-class citizen in the suburbs was as worthy of attention as that of an aristocrat on the Champs-Elysées. Angrand treats these ordinary subjects with compassion: they are dignified in spite of their poverty, and a genuine tenderness has been captured between them. The simple clothing of the couple, and the nondescript street they walk, are an implicit repudiation of the academic art that characterised the official Salon.
After studying to be a teacher, Angrand, who was raised in a small town near Rouen, moved to Paris to pursue a career in painting. He took up a position as a mathematics teacher to support himself and lived in an area close to the cafes favoured by artists and writers of the avant-garde. He was quickly admitted to their circle, and in 1884 was a founding member of the Société des Indépendants.
Couple in the street, while not exhibited in his lifetime, marks an important turning point in Angrand's career. He had previously painted rural subject matter reminiscent of the Realists Jean-François Millet and Gustave Courbet, in a style heavily influenced by the Impressionists. Between 1886 and 1887, he began painting in the Neo-Impressionist style championed by Seurat and Signac. This work, painted in 1887, is a clear indication of this new direction.
Unlike Seurat or Signac's Pointillist paintings, which employ bright, sharply contrasting colours, here Angrand uses a muted palette. On closer inspection it becomes apparent that dots of blue, green, pink and red have been used to deepen shadow and establish tone, but there is no trace of the violent colours that characterise much Neo-Impressionist painting. Yet the whole work glows with warmth. The delicate use of light and shadow is typical of Angrand, whose black and white conté crayon drawings were described by Signac as 'poems of light'.1
Despite the success of his paintings in the Neo-Impressionist style, Angrand abandoned the technique and in 1896 moved away from Paris. He spent the rest of his life in almost total isolation, concentrating on the drawings in pastel and conté crayon that Signac so admired.

..and co-sign a Willis daughterReplyCancel
All of them…ReplyCancel
Solange does make sense. And Jay & Bey have enough clout to have her removed in order to avoid a repeat elevator incident.
I liked Solange's suit, but I think it's getting widely panned.
Im going to join the Emma Roberts guess. That girl seems 50 shades of CRAY. She makes me PMSing seem tame compared to her antics.ReplyCancel
DM says Solange was in another section behind a plexi and Not sitting with Bey
so maybe not…
Did Anybody see the Jenners beyond the carpet?
The Jenners were shown after Kim introduced "my friend" Sam Smith. I love him, but he dropped in my ratings with that link to the Kardashians.
@Steampunk, putting Solange behind a "plexi" sounds to me like something you do to someone to prevent them from spitting on others. What is a plexi? Plexiglass?ReplyCancel
Here's the US Weekly link Brin mentions.
Billboard also does a weird thing where they might be implying that Solange was near an exit.
Finally, her instagram only shows imagery before the red carpet. Not after.
I hope she wasn't wasted… I do believe that her brother-in-law is evil enough to put this sort of negative PR out.
Sadly the the Kardashian twerps did make it in and continued to prove that they are self-absorbed morons.ReplyCancel
Solange actually does look kind of fucked up in the red carpet photosReplyCancel
I was thinking Emma Roberts, but the Willis girl guesses are intriguing.ReplyCancel
People are wasted out of their minds again!
I saw a clip of the Jenner girls constantly looking at their phones, then it went straight to the part of the show where Kanye came on and they put their phones away. I was thinking maybe PMK was texting, "Kanye's on, put your phones away NOW!"ReplyCancel

I know psyche can mean wind, air, or spirit, but I was surprised to learn that it can mean butterfly and/or moth.
From what I've learned, Aristotle first used the word to refer to some insect, and it came to mean that in Greek, but sources seem divided on whether it meant butterfly, or "night butterfly" (i.e. moth.)
Does anyone know?
Also, I understand that the butterfly was used as a symbol of resurrection and rebirth in Christian art and iconography, but I've never seen any examples.
Does anyone know if they depicted what we would call butterflies, or "night butterflies" (i.e. moths)?

"Great looking boot and I liked the height of the heel. I was disappointed that it wasn't more comfortable. I really had a tough time walking around my house when I tried them on. I am getting older, I'm 52, so I can't wear all the same shoes I used to, but these were quite uncomfortable from my perspective. Might be ok for younger women."

Swamp Head's Darkwater is one of my favorites. Stone's Sublimely Self Righteous is incredible and widely distributed if you'd like a try.

By Brandon Speck/NEMS Daily Journal
Pontotoc introduced former Clinton coach Scott Brown on Friday as its new head football coach.
Brown served as defensive coordinator at Northwest Rankin last season. He spent seven years as head coach at Clinton, leading the Class 6A Arrows to the playoffs in six of those seasons. He also served as defensive coordinator and powerlifting coach during his 16-year tenure there.
He was introduced at the school on Friday afternoon and met with players afterwards.
"There are very few places where you find great people, a great community and a great school system all in one place, but Pontotoc has it all," Brown said in an interview with the Pontotoc Progress.
Brown has an overall record of 54-31. He takes over a team that went 4-7 last season and missed the 4A playoffs. Former Pontotoc coach Ken Byars stepped down to become the principal at Amory Middle School.
Pontotoc last made the playoffs in 2009, a first-round loss at Louisville.
Brown and his wife Robin have two children, Alice, 11 and Jack, 7. He will begin his new position as head coach and athletic director in the spring.
"I wanted to be a football coach because of the impact one of my former coaches had on me," Brown told the Progress. "He set an example for me and I want to set an example for these young people."

Sherrington: Why I'd expect a 50-game suspension for Rangers' Nelson Cruz
SportsDay columnist Kevin Sherrington answered reader questions during a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights:
Do you think Nelson Cruz's silence says a lot about his involvement in the Florida drug scandal?
Kevin Sherrington: Not necessarily so, but it doesn't make me believe in his innocence, either. When you've got other guys who have already been found guilty associated with Tosch, and Cruz's name comes up, too, and in such a specific example, it doesn't look good for him. I'd expect he'll get a 50-game suspension, which is a significant blow to this team. They're not going to be able to replace his power in the lineup, unless they make a deal I'm not aware of.
Do you feel MLB team officials care that a player uses PEDs? I have trouble believing these teams with these HR bashers care or want to know what they're on. Seems like the Rangers happily brought Sosa and Palmeiro back.
Kevin Sherrington: I think everyone just looked the other way. They felt that a lot of teams were doing it, and they didn't want to be at a competitive disadvantage. I think your point is reinforced by what happened with Melky Cabrera: He gets a 50-game suspension last year, and he gets a big contract this off-season. Maybe not as big as he would have gotten, but he still had a job, at least until his name came up again in the Miami news. I was surprised with the news about Palmeiro. He certainly didn't look like a 'roids guy. I hear people say how much different he looked in Chicago and with the Rangers, and that's bull. I saw him both places. He got thicker because everyone does as they age. PEDs don't always make a guy look like a weightlifter. They allow them to bounce back faster from workouts and what should be normal fatigue.
I like Alex Rodriguez and expect him to always be remembered not for what are astonishing athletic achievements but lies and an unfriendly demeanor. Do we expect too much from athletes today? Ty Cobb in today's world wouldn't even be picked up by a team for his behavior.
Kevin Sherrington: It's not the behavior, necessarily. It's the idea that he cheated. Cobb did a lot of bad things. He slid in with his spikes high, purposefully trying to injure opponents. He may have been involved in a gambling scandal that was covered up. He was hated by many in a time when the media wasn't nearly as prevalent. But by all accounts, everything he did on a baseball diamond, he earned. I'm not sure we can say the same about A-Rod. And his personality grated on a lot of people in the game, too.

From Peterhouse Chapel Choir
'... an incredible sound...' Canterbury Cathedral
The Peterhouse Chapel Choir is a friendly and diverse group drawn largely from the undergraduate body of the College. The Choir consists of about fifteen selectively chosen mixed voices who receive exhibitions or scholarships.
While the time commitment is relatively low, the Choir's musical standards are consistently high. Because the Choir is relatively small, for singers it represents an unparalleled opportunity to play a vital role in a tight-knit ensemble. The Organ Scholars work very closely with the choristers, many of whom go on to cathedral choral scholarships or postgraduate vocal studies.
Choral Evensong is sung twice weekly during Full Term, on Fridays (at 6.30pm) and Sundays (at 6.00pm). Choral Eucharist is sung once a term at a 6pm service of Corporate Communion, and once again at one of the weekly Sunday morning Eucharists. The Choir also sings grace in hall for the four annual College Feasts, and also sings Choral Compline once a term. Rehearsals are held before each service at 5.00pm during the week and at 4.30pm on Sundays, and on Wednesdays from 5pm-7pm. After every service and rehearsal each member of the Choir may dine at Formal Hall without charge, as well as attending College Feasts and its own yearly dinner. All choristers receive free singing lessons from top professional coaches four times per term.
The Choir regularly sings Evensong in Cathedrals across the UK - generally three or four times every year. The most recent trips have taken them to Ely, Bristol, Bath Abbey, Gloucester and Canterbury, and in April 2010 the Choir had the privilege of making its first visit to sing Evensong in Westminster Abbey.
The Choir tours regularly to some of the finest destinations in Europe and beyond. Recently, tours have flown the Choir to such contrasting destinations as Venice, Latvia, Tuscany and Provence and Andalucia. The choir toured to Holland this year, singing in Rotterdam, Den Haag and Amsterdam. All such trips are generously subsidised by the College, which is extremely supportive towards the Choir and Organ Scholars.
The Chapel was consecrated in 1632 (during the reign of Charles I), and architecturally represents a hybrid style of Gothic and Renaissance with a rare and valuable example of Laudian stained glass at the east end. The Chapel Organ was built by Snetzler in 1765, rebuilt by Hill in the late 19th century and was restored during the 1960s. The Chapel has an thriving and active tradition of prayer, music and devotion, and is consistently well-attended. Visiting preachers are invited to preach at Evensong on Sundays and come from a wide range of Christian traditions.

Perfect workday bag
"I searched high and low for a replacement for an orange bag that I got in Spain, that had served me incredibly well for two years. This bag fit the bill. Although it's a bucket bag, because of its shape, items are easily found. There are sufficient pockets inside, and two ingenious, roomy zipper pockets built into the each side, accessed from the top of the bag. Gorgeous color and the leather is topnotch."

It's that time of year again. The smell of new pencils and paper are in the air. New clothes are bought, binders filled and children get ready for school....or not. The school bell tolls for some and not for others. The beginning of the traditional school year brings about thoughts of change for some - change from a brick and mortar school building to your own home. Change from a PTA role to a teacher role, change from 30 kids in a classroom to one or two or three. Change from rigid learning to a more relaxed and tailored-to-fit learning platform.
The thought of becoming your child's primary teacher can be scary, it can be overwhelming, but it doesn't have to be. If you are thinking about homeschooling you are not alone. Thousands of people jump ship at the start of the new school year and dive headfirst into the homeschooling waters. Here are some tips for new homeschoolers:
First of all, you know your child best. You know their strengths and weaknesses or you wouldn't be trying to buck the system to help them. If you don't know what kind of learner your child is (visual spatial, auditory, kinesthetic), go here for a quick test to see.
Here is another one that isn't computer scored and allows for a fourth learning style.
I like the summary of the styles you see when you are done with the test. Yes, it does make a difference. If you have a child who needs to hear directions and you make them read instead, you could have some meltdowns happening. Having an entire curriculum that is writing based when you have a dysgraphic child is not going to be fun. What is your teaching style, how do you learn? You may have to adapt your visual learning to a more hands-on one for your children. Finding a good curriculum or learning guide is easier if you know how you are trying to teach.
Read, read, read. Allow yourself time to read through homeschooling books or any type of book. Don't forget to read out loud to the kids, let them pick out books to read to themselves and to each other. Once your child has unlocked the world of reading, they can learn anything. Don't underestimate the value of reading good literature out loud. You can pick a classic that takes awhile to read and just give 15 minutes a day to reading it out loud (it takes a long time to read a book out loud and it's hard work.) It took us ages to make it through Moby Dick, but it was well worth it. Don't forget to include fun reading (for yourself too) in the book lists, not everything has to be related to a school lesson to be worthy of being read.
Interject some social time into your routine. Taking children out of school does not mean that they will be lonely old cat ladies. Their friends will still be able to play after they get out of school, but there are opportunities for interactions of all kinds throughout your day. Pick a day of the week and make that park day (if you have a homeschool group, they might already have a park day.) Find a place to volunteer - a nursing home, a library, a church, a food pantry. Get to know your neighborhood community helpers - the mailman, the grocery clerk, the baker at the store. Not all socialization needs to be verbal, get a pen-pal and write to them once a week or write letters to friends and family, they will be excited to get the mail. If your child gets overstimulated with noises and crowds you can create a small playgroup with fewer children to serve their needs.
Become a student whose object of study is your child's learning style, their strengths and weaknesses and their passions. Read about the different learning styles and how to teach to them. Go to a curriculum fair or ask other parents to show you what they use for school. Will you go to an online school, homeschool, unschool, do unit studies, travel the US and learn on the road or purchase a workbook based curriculum? Become a part of a homeschool group, you will find like minded parents and endless opportunities for growth, learning and socialization. Finally, don't try to pound a square peg into a round hole. All children are not made the same way (thank goodness!) They are unique and what works for one might not work for another. There is no right way to teach children, because they are not cookie cutter duplicates. Take some time to discover how your child learns and then guide them down the path of learning.

MIAMI (AP) — Dwyane Wade is not playing as the Miami Heat go for their 26th consecutive victory.
Wade will sit out with right knee soreness Sunday as the team plays the Charlotte Bobcats. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra says Wade has been dealing with the issue for several days and that the team thinks a bit of rest and treatment will take care of the problem.
It's possible Wade could be back in the lineup for Monday's game at the Orlando Magic.
"He got hit in the knee a couple games back and it is just sore, bruised," Spoelstra said. "So we are going to be very proactive and get some treatment and hopefully he feels better (Monday). We'll see how it goes."
TONIGHT: All the NBA games, ranked
Miami took a 25-game winning streak into the matchup with the NBA-worst Bobcats. The Heat had been without Wade for four other games this season, once because of the flu, once because of a league-issued suspension and two others in November because of a sore foot.
Spoelstra said Wade has been dealing with the issue for several days, and that it reappeared after he collided with someone during Miami's game at Boston last Monday.
"He reaggravated it when he collided knees with somebody out there," Spoelstra said. "It was just sore and he has been playing through it and it just hasn't been getting better but we think rest and treatment will fast-track that."
PHOTOS: Miami Heat's 25-game winning streak
Wade is averaging 21.5 points on 52 percent shooting for the Heat this season. During the winning streak, Wade is averaging 22.8 points, 5.8 assists and 5.6 rebounds on nearly 54 percent shooting.
Mike Miller was in the starting lineup in Wade's place. Miller — one of the stars of last year's title-clinching Game 5 victory over Oklahoma City in the NBA Finals, making seven 3-pointers — has been largely out of the rotation this year, but Spoelstra chose to start him Sunday in order to keep the team's rotations as unaffected as possible.
"He knows what he signed up for and it has been communicated quite a bit," Spoelstra said. "Those guys have to continue to work their bodies and stay mentally sharp and Mike has done a very good job at doing that. He spends a lot of time working on his shots and conditioning to stay sharp."
For the Bobcats, Josh McRoberts (left shoulder strain) was out, replaced in the starting lineup by Byron Mullens.

The Bureau of Land Management, Price Field Office, presented a patent for the Emery County shooting range facilities complex near Castle Dale on July 13.
The 40-acre parcel has been transferred to Emery County for the continued use as a trap shooting range and establishment of a rifle range.
The development of a rifle range in addition to the skeet range will enhance the recreational value to those who enjoy skeet and target shooting. Public safety on and adjacent to the parcel will be increased with the addition of a fence that will be constructed around the 40-acre parcel. The fence will control access to the shooting range and alert anyone on adjacent land as to the location of the shooting range.
BLM Price Field Manager, Trish Clabaugh, presented Commissioner James Nelson with the patent at the shooting range facility complex. Also present were Commissioner Laurie Pitchforth, Public Lands Director Ray Petersen, and BLM Realty Specialist Connie Leschin.
The process to complete a patent is very time consuming and involves various legal requirements to be met before the patent process is finalized.
The BLM and Emery County worked closely together to complete this process and are both pleased with the final results. They look forward to working together on future projects to benefit the local residents.
Other land which the county has partnered with the BLM for a patent was for increasing the acreage for the Emery County landfill.

Roger Ailes Caught on Tape Urging Ex-Employee to Lie to Federal Investigators
Think back five long years ago, when hot shot publisher-to-the-stars Judith Regan was embroiled in a huge scandal that was the talk of the media world: after HarperCollins fired her, Regan sued them. In her suit, she alleged that a mystery News Corp executive had told her to lie to federal investigators who were vetting former NYPD chief Bernie Kerik—a man that Regan slept with.
All these years later, documents released in the course of another lawsuit (this one by Regan's former lawyers, against her, for not paying them), the name of that mystery, felony-encouraging News Corp executive comes out: crazy Fox News boss Roger Ailes, allegedly! The NYT reports:
What is more, the documents say that Ms. Regan taped the telephone call from Mr. Ailes in which Mr. Ailes discusses her relationship with Mr. Kerik.
It is unclear whether the existence of the tape played a role in News Corporation's decision to move quickly to settle Ms. Regan's lawsuit, paying her $10.75 million in a confidential settlement reached two months after she filed it in 2007.
A tape! Let's hear it, immediately! Put it right on the internet for convenient comedic remixing purposes, please! Fox News' official response to the NYT was that "News Corporation has a letter from Ms. Regan 'stating that Mr. Ailes did not intend to influence her with respect to a government investigation.'" But they won't release that letter. Which means, Occam's Razor, that this tape of Ailes definitely exists. And if it exists, it is only a matter of time before it comes out. And then we can hear what, if anything, Roger Ailes said that might be construed as an attempt to foil a federal investigation of a man, Bernard Kerik, who turned out to be so corrupt that he's now in prison. Whereas at the time they were going to make him head of Homeland Security!
Hard to believe that a hardcore Nixonite would do such a thing.

Police: Problems with synthetic drugs only a fraction compared to last year
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - You've seen everything from the protests to the arrests -- we're talking about the dangerous problems caused by drugs like bath salts and synthetic marijuana.
But since new laws were passed in 2012 banning synthetic drugs, police have had a new weapon to combat the problem. News 5 wanted to know if we are better off one year later.
It's quiet outside of Ultimate Smoke in Kingsport; the doors are locked and the shop is closed for good. People living close by say they're relieved. "When I found out about all the drugs coming in and everything we really prayed that it would get out of here," said resident Anna Atkins.
But let's go back this time last year: people were protesting these drugs, smoke shops throughout the Tri-Cities were being raided by law enforcement, and it seemed dangerous problems with drugs like bath salts and synthetic marijuana were at an all-time high.
That made it tough for police to combat these problems. "From a legal standpoint obviously the laws didn't really allow us to make those charges," said Captain Jason Bellamy with the Kingsport Police Department.
Local lawmakers rallied in Nashville hoping to ban synthetic drugs. "There was a better way to describe [synthetic drugs,] albeit a completely new way in Tennessee law, so that we could get prosecutions," said State Representative Tony Shipley.
Captain Bellamy says by lawmakers passing three new bills looking at the chemical ingredients, the sale, and even the effects of synthetic drugs, problems are a fraction compared to last year. "When we encounter [synthetic drugs] obviously there are charges that can be placed against the individual and it's something that we rarely run into," added Captain Bellamy.
Police have even seen a dramatic drop in crimes like violence and theft caused by these drugs.
One year later, homeowners say they feel safer too. "I'll keep praying that we get them all out," added Atkins.
State Representative Shipley adds in this session there are plans to work on definitions and wording on legislation when it comes to synthetic drugs, as well as redefining scientific functions and chemicals.
Virginia also has legislation making it a felony to manufacture, sell, or even have synthetic drugs.

Does your dishwasher's effectiveness seem to be a wash lately? Many of today's dishwashers have self-cleaning filters, but some older dishwashers have filters that need periodic attention.
Here's a tip to help you restore your dishwasher's effectiveness. Check for a filter at the bottom of the unit. Cleaning or replacing the inexpensive filter may restore your dishwasher's cleaning power at a fraction of the cost of a new appliance.

A controversy about Eastern Kentucky stereotypes has developed in the Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture race. Agriculture Commissioner is a statewide elected office in Kentucky.
The Republican nominee, State Representative Jamie Comer, released a video this week showing his Democratic opponent, Bob Farmer of Louisville, joking about Eastern Kentucky during a comedy performance in Indiana.
Comer posted clips of Farmer saying "Eastern Kentucky" is a "different kind of place" where "cars are on blocks and houses are on wheels."
Another clip showed Farmer saying that the FBI would not do work in an Eastern Kentucky county because "all the DNA is alike and there ain't no dental records."
Another clip had Farmer saying that people in Eastern Kentucky don't trust him. "You know, I had shoes on, I got all my teeth."
WYMT in Hazard did a report on the controversy showing a clip of Farmer saying that "they don't move their lips when they talk" and making fun of the speaking style.
In a statement to the news media, Farmer apologized for the remarks. He said that "I apologize if it offends anyone. I don't want to offend people."
Farmer told the Lexington Herald Leader that he had done the comedy routine for 25 years and no one has complained.
The Republican Party of Kentucky has called for Farmer to withdraw from the race. That is extremely unlikely as it would leave Comer as the automatic winner.
Kentucky law does not allow replacing a primary opponent after a nominee is chosen.
The law about not allowing a party to replace a nominee was passed a Democratic legislature after the 1978 Congressional election. The Republican party got its 6th district Congressional nominee, Mary Louise Foust to resign and she was replaced by the eventual winner Larry Hopkins after a weaker candidate, Tom Easterly upset incumbent Congressman John Breckinridge in the 1978 Democratic primary.
According to the Lexington Herald Leader, Pike County Judge Executive Wayne T. Rutherford, who is a Democrat, sent a letter to the Herald Leader saying that Farmer is "no longer welcome here."
The Herald Leader also quoted Rutherford saying, "During his visit to Pike County in April of this year, he was treated with the utmost respect," Rutherford said. "And, by the way, I don't know if he noticed but I had shoes on and all of my teeth."
Just like in the case of former Congressman Anthony Weiner, the first bit of news breaking from YouTube and social networks has sparked additional information about Farmer to hit the internet.
Jacob Payne, a well respected investigative journalist who blogs for the website, Page One Kentucky, posted on his website a longer YouTube version of Farmer's comedy routine.
Along with the remarks that Comer posted in his video, in the video posted on Page One, Farmer makes additional remarks about a woman from Eastern Kentucky named Pamela Sue. "I looked at the beauty mark that Pamela Sue had, like Marilyn Monroe and I found out it was a tick." He mentioned that his wife Jo Ann is from Eastern Kentucky saying, "notice that they all have two or three names."
Farmer said that he saw Pamela Sue with one shoe. "Hey Pamela Sue did you lose a shoe?" The response from Pamela Sue was "no I found one."
For decades, Eastern Kentucky has suffered the brunt of stereotypes. Television shows like the Beverly Hillbillies and plays like The Kentucky Cycle made millions of dollars off those stereotypes, although Appalachian activists like Gurney Norman have waged a fierce battle to keep the image out of the media.
Don McNay is an award winning columnist and author. He was selected to be an honorary Duke of Hazard by the late Hazard, Kentucky Mayor Bill Gorman. You can read more about McNay at www.donmcnay.com

Kamaliya :: From Russia With Love (and Plenty of Talent)
When I think of Russia, I think of Olga Korbet, Nureyev and Barishnkov, Chernobyl, communism and dissolution of the unification, and a not-so-gay friendly government.
The things I don't think of are pop music and pop stars. Well, the Russian-born pop star in-the-making Kamaliya is hoping most Americans don't think as I do. And, if the worldwide response to her current "Butterflies" music video is any indication, I am well on my way to becoming in the minority with my thinking. I mean 35-million viewers can't be wrong, now can they?
Regardless of where she is from, Kamaliya definitely has the formula to successfully get to where she is going, and that is to top of the U.S. music charts if she has anything to do with it. With high charting singles already in the everso challenging UK market, the former Mrs. World is showing the world she has what it takes to make it, talent, beauty, determination, and patience.
When watching the Russian beauty in her music videos, it is apparent that Kamaliya loves the camera, loves what she is doing, and has been able to transfer her acting ability in film and television to her music videos. With respect and admiration for world artist like Madonna, Whitney Houston and Sarah Brightman, you can see where she gets that Kamaliya-touch by mixing theatrics, pop melodies, and technical vocalization in her music and videos. I hope she has enough room on her passport, because mark my words, Kamaliya is about to bring it to the universe from Russia with love!
35-million viewers
BeBe: Congratulations on the success of your 'Butterflies' music video which has amassed 35-million views on YouTube. Why do you think the music video has such appeal to the public across the world?
Kamaliya: I think it might be because it's both timeless and yet fresh. Introducing opera to a new generation of fans in an accessible way for opera in its time was actually pop music aimed at the masses! And everyone loves a costume! Beautiful girls and boys wearing cute theatrical numbers always goes down well!! I like show-stopping visuals and LaChapelle inspired colors!
BeBe: I couldn't help but be reminded of Madonna's 'Vogue' performance at the 1990 MTV Awards when watching the video for 'Butterflies' with its Victorian-time period references. Has Madonna been an influence for you during your recording and performing career? Have any other artists influenced you?
Kamaliya: I totally respect Madonna for being able to maintain her career over three decades. What an incredible achievement that is. She is a true chameleon who moves with the times. My favorite artists, however, are those who inspired me vocally, with Whitney Houston and Sarah Brightman both being at the top of my listening list.
British appeal?
BeBe: You have had two singles chart in the top 15 on UK music charts over the past 12 months. What, if any, plans do you have to capitalize on your British appeal?
Kamaliya: Dahhhhhlin'! I've just had my first number 1 in the UK. How could you have missed it (laughs)!
BeBe: Oops!
Kamaliya: 'Butterflies' went to the top of the UK club chart, and I couldn't be more thrilled. My dream came true. Now it's onto the album! I am also supporting the fabulous girl band Little Mix on their first tour of the UK. Their single 'DNA' is a smash so I think we're going to have great fun.
BeBe: Unlike the American appeal for ballet dancers and opera singers, it is rare to have a Russian pop star cross over into U.S. mainstream music. What do you have that will make your shot at U.S. stardom different from perhaps previous Russian artist attempts?
Kamaliya: I am not just a singer/writer and performer. I am also an actress who had the luckiest break filming a movie with Sharon Stone and Andy Garcia this year called 'What About Love.' It will be on general release in 2013, so watch me go! I aim to be the first (Russian pop star) and break the mold. (And) Can't wait! Besides on the 18th of January my first Hollywood movie 'Officer Down' will have limited theatrical release in Los Angeles movie theaters, and then released nationally on the 23rd of January.
Worth waiting for
BeBe: Though you have been making music since 1997, it hasn't been until late 2011 that you gained notable success with singles released beginning with 'Crazy in My Heart.' Why do you think it has taken 14 years to get to this point?
Kamaliya: Anything worth having is worth waiting for if you've worked hard enough, and that goes for everything in life. Having said that I can only add that I only started tapping the Western markets since November of last year, before that I was just another local star in Russia and the Ukraine with lots of hit Russian songs and a large following.
BeBe: With 4 singles released in 2012, you are putting out music at a fast pace. Is this the pace we should expect future releases to come from you?
Kamaliya: Just try and stop me!
BeBe: Here in the U.S. beauty queens are not always taken seriously in their pursuits out of pageantry. Was being Mrs. World 2008 a help or a hindrance to your career in music, and how so?
Kamaliya: It (the beauty pageant) was just something else I did. It was, however, a defining moment for my confidence. And, in Eastern Europe it isn't quite viewed in the same way it is in the U.S. I loved every minute of the process and to win was a massive bonus. I feel very blessed to have had opportunities that many only dream of. But they say, 'if you have a dream, that dream will come true.'
Gay appeal
BeBe: The song and music video 'Butterflies' has gay audience appeal written all over it. Is the gay market one in which you plan to target your music to?
Kamaliya: I am so happy for anyone to be listening to my music, young, old, gay, straight, whatever religion or creed. It just so happens that the colorfulness of my performance and staging coupled with the positive energy of my songs seems to have an automatic and natural home with a gay crowd who I have found to be loyal, loving and super-fun. How lucky am I!?
BeBe: How was your experience performing at the Mr. Gay World event in South Africa earlier in 2012, an event you found important to interrupt your tour with STEPS to do?
Kamaliya: It was simply unmissable!
BeBe: You have done a lot of charitable work in your homeland and in Pakistan over the years including participating events to help children with AIDS. As you become an international star, will you broaden your charity efforts in other countries, and what charities are of particular interest to you?
Kamaliya: Absolutely. I suffered with cancer as a direct result of being in Chernobyl's path, so for anyone in a similar situation I have the greatest empathy. My other passion is animals and animal welfare and I do a lot of work and plan to continue to help rescue those who are in danger.
BeBe: What image of you do you hope the public walks away with?
Kamaliya: A positive one...

As an actress, BeBe was introduced to film with a lead role in the independent film "Under One Sun" with her character dealing with religious, racial and gender issues. Additionally, she appeared in the campy musical "Devious, Inc" (Australian Film Festival, San Francisco Short Film Fest) also adding additional vocals to the musical soundtrack. Both of these performances led to her selection for a lead role in Aisha Media's next short film series, "Con-tin.u.um" to be released in 2012.
