Meeting Youth Around the World
- 123 Posts
- Age 32
By Karen Cirillo, Executive Producer, Children's Broadcasting Initiatives,UNICEF
I've been coordinating the global OneMinutesJr. initiative since 2007. The project is an arts-based video initiative that seeks to capture the voices and expressions of youth on issues and subjects important to them. These viewpoints are captured in one-minute videos that are then shared through a multitude of platforms.
In the past six years with the OneMinutesJr., I have met over 450 different youth around the world. There is no one "profile" for the young people that participate in UNICEF's arts-based one-minute video project. But this uniqueness means that each workshop is a new experience, a chance to meet another diverse group of children.
Sometimes, there are youth that already have a strong interest and talent in moving images. In Cairo, Egypt in 2008, I met a young man named Karim Shaaban. He was 17, but already actively making art through graphic design and videos. He had a strong idea for his film and although he didn't need much guidance from the video artists running the workshop, he still welcomed any advice he could get. The resulting film, Overload, a commentary on the presence of media and influence in our lives, was nominated for our annual OneMinutesJr. awards. Karim was invited to Amsterdam to participate in the awards festival and made such an impression that he was named an advisor/liason to the European Cultural Foundation.
I stayed in contact with Karim over the years, and during the first uprising in Cairo in 2011, I was able to connect with him on Facebook for updates on the political situation. He was taking amazing photographs of people and the demonstrations and producing inspiring videos.
Just as there are strong, confident individuals like Karim, there are also young people who are very quiet and aren't quite sure of their place yet in the world. In Amman, Jordan in 2007 we worked with a young woman named Najla. She was only 12 and stayed a lot to herself. It was not easy to get her to open up, although she did have a very unique and creative idea for her video, in which expresses feeling shy and the freedom of expression through the metaphor of being enclosed in a space and then releasing herself. On the first day, she barely spoke, except to share her video idea. But over the next five days, she slowly drew out of herself and started to laugh and play and be more vocal.
The process of the foreign, adult artists giving Najla attention and validation and calling her to participate had given her confidence. At the final screening, her parents told us "You don't understand. She's very quiet, even with us. But she has been so excited about the experience that she would tell us all about it over dinner. We can't believe the transformation she has gone through over this week."
In 2011, we conducted a workshop in Lucknow, India with a group of young women who were part of the Prerna Study Center. It's a program that allows girls who have to work or don't have the resources to go to regular school to attend a special school program. These young women were an inspiration to meet. They understood the value of education and worked very hard to achieve good scores and to make opportunities for themselves after school. But what was most inspiring was their personalities and energy. In a culture where girl children are not as prized and have to fight for their place in society, these young women were outgoing and positive and had beautiful spirits and great senses of humour. I was humbled by their strength of character. And their videos of course reflected their desire to stand up to society.
This year, I was fortunate to facilitate two workshops with children with disabilities in Viet Nam and Mexico . The workshops had the theme "It's About Ability!" and the young people who participated definitely proved that phrase. On the first day of the workshop, the participants introduce themselves to each other and you note the various disabilities each one carries – one is hearing-impaired, another in a wheelchair, another has cerebral palsy, etc… At the end of the workshop, I usually take portraits of all the youth and this time, I was really struck by the images. In reviewing the pictures, I noticed the visual signs of disabilities and was almost surprised. I had gotten to know these youth well enough to see their talents and their personalities that I had stopped noticing the visual cues of a disability.
Over these six years, I have brought the OneMinutesJr. to so many young people, and am glad to have been able to share that experience with them. But through them I have learned about so many cultures, traditions and lifestyles. I have seen their worlds through their eyes and have seen them opening up themselves to share it. I can't wait to see who I get to meet next.

Minimizers, maximizers, backless, strapless-- the bra has often been less about function than about redesigning women's bodies and fetishizing the female breast. We've got Wonder Bras, Cross Your Heart bras, training bras--all promising to mold, lift, squeeze, and reshape us into Barbie-like "perfection." As if. But what about a bra that may save your life?
Kursty Groves thinks it's about time. And this British engineer has designed a bra that's less about form and more about function, specifically keeping women safe.
Her Techno Bra is loaded with electric circuits that monitor the heartbeat. The circuits set off an alarm if the heart rate leaps suddenly, indicating panic. Unless you squeeze two buttons in the front clasp, the bra signals a central computer that uses a global positioning system to determine your location and dispatches help. The Techno Bra started as Groves's final project for a master's degree in industrial design engineering but has piqued the interest of Proactive, a company helping to develop the technology. According to Groves, in the not so distant future the Techno Bra may be lining store shelves as the latest in personal security.

After playing in only one Mid-Suburban League girls basketball championship game in 30 years, Rolling Meadows is now going to the showcase game for the second season in a row.
With an 85-29 victory over visiting Wheeling, the Mustangs (23-1) clinched the MSL East on Tuesday with a 9-0 record and one game left on Friday.
Meadows will host Fremd (21-7, 7-2) for the MSL crown a week from today.
Junior Alexis Glasgow scored a game-high 20 points followed by junior Ashley Montanez (15), junior Jenny Vliet (11), junior Jackie Kemph (11) and junior Chloe Prodanovic (10).
Montanez and Prodanovic each had career-highs.
Montanez also had a career-high 9 rebounds.
Ashley played the best game of her career, said Mustangs coach Ryan Kirkorsky. Jenny Vliet (4 rebounds) was outstanding on both end of the floor. Chloe played great minutes down the stretch.
Morgan Keller, the only 12th grader on Kirkorskys roster, was honored before the game for senior night.
The Illinois State track and field recruit scored 6 points and grabbed 5 rebounds in a starting role.
Jackie Kemph dished out 9 assists while Glasgow had 6 steals.
The third quarter (outscored the visitors 21-2) may have been our best quarter of the season, Kirkorsky added. We had great defensive intensity and shared the ball well.
Sophomore guard Deanna Kuzmanic led Wheeling (7-17, 1-8) with 14 points.
Schaumburg 52, Palatine 51: Sophomore Jada Blackwell scored 25 points and grabbed 8 rebounds as visiting Schaumburg improved to 14-11 and 5-4 in the MSL West.
Schaumburg trailed 34-21 at halftime.
Palatine was on fire in the first half, said Saxons coach Ashley Berggren. We came out a different team in the second half. The girls put their heart and soul into it and it paid off.
Jada really proved this game that she is not only one of the best sophomores in the area but in the state.
Senior guard Amanda Kelly added 17 points for Schaumburg while teammate Carly Brossard had 6 rebounds and 5 points.
Saxons senior Riley Williams made 1-of-2 free throws with 20 seconds left for the 52-51 lead and Palatine missed one final shot in the final seconds.
The Pirates (19-7, 5-4) were led by McKenzie Wiedemann (14 points), Erin Mayer (11) and Nia Pappas (9).
Prospect 48, Buffalo Grove 39: Trailing by 10 points going into the fourth quarter, host Prospect outscored BG 28-9 in the final quarter of the MSL East game.
Sophomore Taylor Will scored 13 of her game-high 26 points in the final eight minutes.
We always talk about when our backs are to the wall, we have to fight back, said Knights coach Ashley Graham. And thats what the girls did in the final quarter. We had a couple of big defensive plays that we turned into baskets.
Catherine Sherwood added 13 points for Prospect (12-12, 2-7) followed by Trisha Benson (8) and Michele Molini (7).
Kristen Frasco had a big shot for us in the fourth quarter, Graham added.
Bailey North (17 points) and Amanda Salzman (14) led BG (7-15, 3-6).
Barrington 52, Hoffman Estates 48: Junior Angie Kirchoff led the visiting Fillies (14-13, 4-5) with 16 points while classmate Aoife Callanan had 8 and sophomore Bailee McDonald 7 in the MSL West game.
Angie made some real nice things happen for us, said Barrington coach Babbi Barreiro. Aoife gives us some good minutes and Bailee did a real nice job off the bench.
Senior Destinee Young led Hoffman (9-13, 3-6) with 29 points and 10 rebounds while classmate Becca Stoczynski collected 13 points and 6 rebounds.
Christian Liberty 50, Northshore Country Day 25: Chargers junior Shelbi Hernandez had a double-double with 14 points, 12 rebounds, 3 steals and 1 block.
Other top performers for the host CLA (15-7) were junior Megan Sullivan (14 points, 6 assists, 3 steals), sophomore Jessica Moriarty (12 points, 6 rebounds, 6 steals, 4 blocks, sophomore Jenn West (4 points, 3 assists) and freshman Samantha Amedin (4 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists).

LOMBARD – Lombard residents are gearing up to paint the town purple as the village's annual two-week celebration of Lilac Time kicks off Saturday and culminates with the Lilac Parade on May 19.
"It's just a great time of year," said Keith Giagnorio, who was sworn in as village president Thursday. "Just walking through Lilacia Park, [the Lombard Park District] does a great job with it. That park is unbelievable this time of year. I can't get enough of it."
Lombard took its first steps toward becoming the Lilac Village when Col. William Plum and his wife, Helen, brought Lombard's first two lilac bushes from France in 1911. The couple developed a fondness for lilacs and eventually grew their collection to more than 200 varieties of French, German and Asian lilacs.
When William Plum died, he had no heirs and donated his estate to the village with the stipulation that his grounds become the village's first park – Lilacia Park – and his home become the first library. The Helen Plum Memorial Library was created in honor of his wife.
Special events and activities will run through the next 14 days, and many of them will be at the village's historic Lilacia Park, which features more than 700 lilacs and 25,000 tulips that, weather dependent, will bloom during
the festival.
This year's key events include the coronation of the Lilac Queen on Saturday, the Lilac Time Art and Craft Fair on Sunday, the Lombard Garden Club's lilac sale from Thursday through May 11, the Lilac Ball on May 10 and the Lilac Parade on May 19.
With the cooler-than-normal temperatures Lombard has experienced this spring, most of Lilacia Park's lilacs will be late to bloom. Some of the bushes are getting close, however, Lombard Park District horticulturist Jerry Budd said.
"If the temperatures stay like today, it won't be too much longer," Budd said Wednesday afternoon when temperatures crept into the 80s.
Some of the park's early blooming cultivars were budding mid-week, and Budd said he expected them to start opening soon.
Lilacs blossom with warm temperatures, so their arrival each spring is just as variable as the weather conditions. As for the April 18 flood that left much of the village underwater, Lombard's lilac won't look much different because of it, Budd said.
"Most of the people coming to Lilacia Park for Lilac Time won't even be able to tell we had a flood," he said.

This cake is crazy. Chocolate mocha delicious cake.
18 comments:
Thanks guys!ReplyDelete
Katrina- email me and let me know the date- if it's not to close to the end of the month I'll try to bake you a cake! I love having people to bake for, it gives me more of an excuse to try out recipes since I don't have to eat everything myself!
That cake looks delicious, and the photography is beautiful..!ReplyDelete
Wow that looks absolutely amazing!ReplyDelete
I wish I lived in Philly... I love how the frosting is so thick... Mmmmm...ReplyDelete
Oh goodness that looks amazing! Question: Do you think you could sub a dark juice, like that pom there, for coffee in a cake recipe? I can't have coffee or tea right now and find a lot of cake recipes call for it.ReplyDelete
Would substituting harm the set up do you think, or just alter the flavor?
Mia- the frosting is mousse-like. It is sweet, but you could cut back the sugar a bit.ReplyDelete
Suz- I don't know what using Pom juice would do to the frosting, but you could leave the coffee out without harm. I think it would be fine to sub Pom juice in the cake for the coffee, or just leave it out and use 1/2 c more buttermilk.
This cake looks so sinful yet hard to resist!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for sharing your cakes with me, Jill! They all look FABULOUS! :) Yum, LOVE chocolate!ReplyDelete

DSD (15), DSS (12), DS1 (10), DD1 (8), DS2 (2), and a new little bean on the way in May 2013.
I've been surprised by the lack of concern with nursing ds in public. People routinely assume he's 2 years (and have since 12 mo) but I've never gotten any rude comments. I have had several people ask if it hurts with his teeth which I find really amusing.
Last edited by @llli*zaynethepain; December 12th, 2012 at 02:33 PM. Reason: Typos
I live in the midwest. With my son I was always more cautious. Maybe more for my modesty? In South Dakota where I was, I actually had people at times come over to pull the blanket off to see the baby.. um..?? HAHA!
I am in Iowa now, not a huge jump, but it was a small town, now I am in a bigger city, or big compared to where I was (nothing like New York though!). I nurse in public when ever the need arrises, I cove myself best I can, but my daughter would have no part in a blanket over her, so covering best I can usually means wearing two shirts, I have a little of thin tanks I wear under my regular shirts, and I pull the top shirt up, the bottom shirt down and my boob comes out right in the middle, I pull the top shirt down just as far as my daughter will allow.
I am not sure if anyone is offended or not, and personally I dont care, I am feeding my daughter and I am not going to go sit in some icky public bathroom for privacy. I certainly havent had anyone say anything negative to me about it. Sometimes I get smiles and nods, usually older women. Guys tend to either be completely oblivious, or as soon as they notice they look the other way like they didnt notice.
I had to laugh about the whole victoria secret thing though a few years back, because just before they announced that, I was actually at VS and one of the workers could see me wresting my shirt and bra strap from my son (he was about 14-15 months old) and telling him he had to wait until I was done paying. When I get up to the register she says "I can let you in the big dressing room if you need some privacy to nurse him."
But usually if I see a woman nursing in public I nod, smile and look away, although the mom above ^^ was the only one I have ever seen nursing in public who had no modesty at all, most moms try to cover up somewhat or turn away or something to conceal them selves a little. I am not offended, I just feel like they have a need for a little privacy and I am not going to sit and stare waiting for their baby to suddenly grab their shirt and flip it up... you can see mine does this quite often!
I am from Louisiana and still breastfeeding my 15 month old son
Louisiana law states that a person may breastfeed their child in any public place. This means any place that the mother is allowed to be present the mother is legally allowed to breastfeed. I do breastfeed in public but I do so as discreetly as possible, because that is just my personal preference and what makes me comfortable. I have breastfed in malls, WalMart, theme parks, and many restaurants without a problem. I normally ask for a back corner table in restaurants so I may be comfortable and I have never had a problem with it. Also, the area of Louisiana you will be moving to will determine how others view breastfeeding. Currently there is alot of support in Lafayette, Lake Charles, and many other rural communities in the Southwestern part of the state.
The Louisiana law has been misinterpreted by many here to include only public businesses. However, the law does mean any public place where you are allowed to be. I have mailed my District Attorney to correct his response to this in one of our local newspapers and received a reply apologizing for his misinterpretation of the law and I was indeed right!
I hope this helps and who cares what anyone thinks. Just know that the law will protect you in our state of Louisiana!
Thank you everyone for your advice and support. It's good to know that Louisiana law is on the side of nursing mothers and babies. It does say "babies" though...- I hope there wouldn't be an age limit to the law....
Even if there were an age limit to the law- which is unlikely; the vagueness is probably intentional- it's really unlikely that anyone would try to call you on it. Someone would have to be so terribly upset at seeing you nurse an older baby that they would be unable to simply ignore you and walk on, and then they'd face the challenge of finding some sort of authority figure who wouldn't simply laugh them out of the room, or demand to know how the upset person knows your baby is technically not a baby, and then that authority figure would have to look at the law and decide that "baby" only applies to a certain age group, and then they'd have to ask you to stop nursing- oh, wait, you probably stopped nursing 2 hours ago and went about your business, so first they'd have to find you and THEN ask you...
Don't worry about it, mama. Just enjoy yourself, share the good news about toucans, nurse your baby.
Feed your baby as nature intended. If anyone has a problem with that, point them towards the nearest McDonalds, and let them start harassing toddlers eating Happy Meals with soda! Who cares what " they " think. They are idiots who know nothing. You are a mother who loves your child, and wants to do what is best for them. Plus, it's really hard to tell your nursing, unless you completely remove your breast from your shirt.
Hi just wanted to update here. We had a lovely time in Louisiana and we nursed in lots of places including restaurants, university, parks, playground, Walmart aisle, zoo, swamp tour, etc. Nobody blinked an eye. I did not have special nursing clothes and I think it's pretty obvious when I am nursing; however, I sometimes overheard parents telling their kids "shh. the baby is sleeping", making me think maybe people just see what they expect to see and they assumed my 26 lb toddler was just sleeping in my arms.
Proud mama to:
Amethyst, born Dec 15, 2010. 4lbs 15oz at birth, with Esophageal Atresia/Tracheoesophageal Fistula. One major surgery, 14 minor surgeries so far.
Vyse, born April 17, 2013. 7lbs 3oz at birth, and absolutely perfect.
Spending alot of time and .

Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault launched today on PS3 for $20, complete with a promise to get a free PS Vita copy thanks to cross buy. While you'll have to wait until January 2013 for the handheld version, Insomniac has let us know some snippets of news about the near future of Full Frontal Assault. - PSLS
Can't wait to see Ratchet & Clank PS4, Ratchet and Clank in all that next gen glory
I'm really happy that the important stuff will be free for FFA.
Well I'd ask them to please stop. They're not exactly doing the IP justice anymore.
Looks at Mario articles.
"Nintendo releases the same franchises over and over."
Looks at this one.
"Can't wait for the tenth Ratchet and Clank game!"
Man, everything is topsy-turvey around here.
I wish they'd continue with the resistance franchise, they really hit it out the park with Resistance 3 a damn shame ps3 gamers just gave a collective meh when it released. But then again Sony also left this game out to die, there wasn't any marketing for this game. Which is sad because this game was awesome much like R:FoM :-)

"Alive & Not Antiquated"
After briefly reviewing a visitor survey conducted at the August 16th Jurassic Lounge, I was intrigued by responses to the question "Has Jurassic Lounge changed how you see the Australian Museum?" Visitors were asked to check yes or no, and if they said yes, they were asked to elaborate on their response.
Here are a few elaborations:
"more modern, more adult entertainment"
"cause I probably won't [sic] have come otherwise"
"makes it more alive & not antiquated"
"in touch w/ current arts population"
"It has moved from being a 'traditional' space to a modern, new, funky place – definitely a younger crowd."
"It's 'funner' now"
"It's a more social experience then I usually associate with museums."
"A lively museum."
"More accessible to adults"
"Made me think of it as welcoming to people my age. Coming across as exciting & vibrant rather than stuffy or juvenile"
There is more analysis to be done, but I am interested to see if the data shows that this is an event that draws the elusive 18-35 crowd. If so, can the museum capitalize on this interest by creating similar programming?
(Don't forget to visit www.jurassiclounge.com to find our more about this night.)
I have aggregated all the JLounge evaluation results so far into a section. Go here and scroll down the page a bit and you'll find a range of different surveys we did during Season 1 and 2.
This is great feedback - thnx for sharing Michelle. We will be completing our surveys next week and I'm looking forward to more results.
Particularly like the 'lively museum' comment. My experience is that it defiantly is a lively museum. Very excited to see people are getting that message. Great stuff Michelle.

Four-times champion Tiger Woods looked close to his very best in tough conditions at the Memorial tournament on Friday, ending a gruelling second round one shot behind pacesetting South African Rory Sabbatini.
In pursuit of a 73rd PGA Tour victory and his second this year, Woods carded a three-under-par 69 at a wet and windy Muirfield Village Golf Club, finishing level with fellow Americans Scott Stallings (73) and Spencer Levin (72).
"I'm pleased with the way I played today," Woods told reporters after mixing five birdies with a double-bogey at the par-three 12th.
"I missed a couple out there, but overall I knew in these conditions to shoot something in the 60s was going to be a pretty good effort."
Sabbatini was one stroke better at six-under on 138, having had to settle for a second successive 69 after missing a five-foot birdie putt at the last.
Several big names, however, struggled on the soggy, ultra-long Muirfield Village layout with Masters champion Bubba Watson and world number two Rory McIlroy, winner of last year's U.S. Open, among those missing the cut.
American Steve Stricker, who clinched last year's Memorial tournament, carded a 70 to finish at one under, one stroke better than British world number one Luke Donald (73).
Woods began the day four shots behind first-round leader Stallings but drew level at the top with three birdies in his first six holes, pumping his right fist in delight when he sank a 26-footer at the par-four sixth.
Out in three-under 33, he wasted a chance to snatch the outright lead by missing a four-foot birdie putt at the par-five 11th, his ball sliding past the left edge.
Woods dropped out of the lead with a double-bogey at the 12th, where he overhit the green to the left and needed two chip shots from tangly rough to reach the green before missing a 12-foot putt, but he swiftly recovered.
He knocked in five-footers to birdie the 15th and 16th and parred the last two holes to remain one stroke off the pace.
"I hit the ball well all day, and it was a day that I needed to," Woods said, after play had earlier been suspended for just under two hours due to heavy rain and thunderstorms.
"The wind was blowing out there and it was swirling in those trees. It was just a tough day. I figured anything under par was going to be a good score."
Sabbatini, a six-times winner on the PGA Tour, took over at the top when he drained an eight-foot birdie putt at the par-five 15th and then parred the last three holes to retain control.
"It feels good," said the South African, who has recorded only one top-10 in 15 starts on the PGA Tour in 2012. "It's been a trying year, and it's great to see some return on the effort I've been putting in.
"The course out there today, it was a tough one. It was hard fought the whole way. There was nothing easy out there. It played tough and showed its teeth pretty well.
"I'm happy to be where I am right now, and I've got two more days ahead of me. I've just got to continue to focus on what I've been doing for the last two days."
McIlroy missed his third consecutive cut worldwide after battling to a seven-over-par 79 to finish well down the leaderboard at six-over 150.
He failed to record a single birdie and wound up with two double-bogeys, one at the par-five 11th where he remarkably hit a shot backwards into water and another at the 14th, where he drove into water.
"I hit some good shots but it just seems like every time I go out there I make one or two big numbers and that sort of throws me," McIlroy said.

and JOE ROSSON
and JOE ROSSON
Q. Dear Helaine and Joe: I am enclosing photos of two plates that I received from my grandmother's estate. Each plate is about 10 inches in diameter. Both pieces are marked "Wedgwood & Co. Ltd.," "Made in England" and "Countryside." One, however, carries the number "9 81," while the other has "12 61." There is also a notation that Wedgwood was founded in 1835. Can you date these plates and tell me what the value might be? With gratitude, J.D., Hanover Park, Ill.
A. Dear J.D.: The plates have very confusing and somewhat tricky marks. The designation might lead some people to assume that the maker of these two plates was the famous Josiah Wedgwood company of Burslem (and later Barlaston), England. But this would be 100 percent incorrect.
The more celebrated (and important) Josiah Wedgwood company was founded in 1759 and was justly famed for its Basalt (black ware), Jasper (often — but not always — blue with raised white decoration), Parian (white ware that is said to resemble Parian marble) and Queensware (cream-colored ware), among other products.
When the name "Wedgwood" is mentioned, Josiah Wedgwood (notice the absence of a second "e" in the last name) is the company that immediately springs to mind. There were, however, companies that had similar designations. These would include "Ralph Wedgwood" (1766-1837), whose early mark — and impressed "Wedgwood" — closely resembles that of Josiah Wedgwood. But the quality of the product does not.
Our only advice is to watch out for marks that add "& Company" to the name of Wedgwood (Josiah and his descendents never did) or spell "Wedgwood" as "Wedgewood." The firm that made the pieces in today's question is Wedgwood and Company, which worked at the Unicorn and Pinnox works in Tunstall, Staffordshire, England.
Wedgwood and Company was actually in business from 1860 to 1965.
The important thing is that J.D.'s plates are not by the famous Wedgwood factory, but by another company with a similar name that is much less storied and desired by collectors.
We had hoped that the numbers quoted in the letter ("12 61" and "9 81") were dates, but after doing some research, we are afraid this is not the case. We checked out the pattern by going to Replacements.com, and the site noted that this particular pattern ("Countryside") was made between 1966 and 1968.
The picture Replacements supplied with this information matches exactly the two plates in the photos submitted by J.D. Unfortunately, these two plates do not have much monetary value, and generally sell (at retail) in the range of $8 to $11 each.
As a closing note, it appears that a company calling itself "Enoch Wedgwood" took over Wedgwood and Company when it closed in 1965. It, in turn, was acquired by Josiah Wedgwood in 1980, who renamed it the "Unicorn Pottery."

I've just tried VMWARE 3.2 software for LINUX...for some reason.
I wanna know what is the "different" between..... using VMWARE software to have dual booting OSes (LINUX and XP) and using of manual partition to have dual booting OSes without VMWARE software.
#This VMWARE software was good but..when.. I've tried to play game in my XP and I've tried some of 3D application (XP is my guest operating system in my LINUX )...that game and 3D not working very well....ughhhhhhhhhhh.
I've been thinking..maybe if I can make configuration...or bridging of using WINE that "games/3D" will work???. I might need expert suggestion to play around with WINE...hmm..any advised??.
# I've play around with this VMWARE software..and this software was amazing I can installed 3 OSes without problem...{ I've already have dual OSes(RH LINUX,XP) before I've installed VMWARE In my LINUX and after I 've got VMWARE...I tried install MANDRAKE LINUX..in my RH LINUX....and it's works....that's..perfect..}.
# Without VMWARE software to have multiple OSes its's good to..I don't have problem with "games or 3D application".
But the the think is...I have to choose..which OS I wanna use..which is a little bit problem..I have to go to bootloader(GRUB) to choose OS, but anyway this is the good way to have multiple OSes without buying VMWARE software.
So now I have to do "homework" to make configuration of WINE in LINUX.....and I hope someone out there..can help me out...

State of Indiana Files Brief in United States Supreme Court Case
Contact: Allison Fore
Photo Id Issue to be considered
(Indianapolis) – Today, the State of Indiana, acting on behalf of Secretary of State Todd Rokita, filed the "Brief of State Respondents" supporting Indiana's Voter ID law with the United States Supreme Court. The Court is currently reviewing Indiana's law that requires Hoosier voters to show photo identification in order to vote at the polls.
"We are enthusiastic to file this brief in support of Indiana's photo ID requirement because the law is common sense, low cost, and levels the playing field for all voters," stated Secretary Rokita. "Since it was enacted in 2005, six Indiana elections have demonstrated that the photo ID law is well crafted. I firmly believe that the Supreme Court will uphold the law in accordance with both the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals and the District Court's decisions."
The "Brief of State Respondents" highlights the reasonableness of the Voter ID law and the long-overdue election-security reform that protects Hoosier voters. The Brief underscores voter protections created by the law, provides data that shows no significant negative impact on Hoosier voters, and points to the law as a legitimate fraud deterrent that ensures that each Hoosier receives one vote – and one vote only – that will not be devalued by vote fraud. Additionally, the Brief highlights the large number of safeguards that create a balanced law, such as free photo identification for those who do not already possess a photo ID.
"In addition to protecting against voter fraud, the photo ID law promotes security in the modern-day world of identity theft," Rokita said. "Safeguards provide free photo IDs and even if you forget your ID when visiting the polls, the law still allows the voter to vote provisionally and show an ID at a later time. Additionally, the photo ID law requires every voter present an ID, regardless of politics, party, age, race, gender, or economic status. Every vote is equal and every vote should count."
The "Brief of State Respondents" can be accessed at http://www.sos.in.gov/. The Supreme Court will consider the two consolidated cases, Indiana Democratic Party v. Todd Rokita and William Crawford v. Marion County Election Board, and will listen to oral arguments on January 9, 2008.

Items ordered from our showrooms can be either picked up by the customer at an agreed upon date and time or we can also deliver these items straight to your homes. This can easily be arranged with the sales personnel assisting you in the store during the time of your purchase. Because foam and furniture are bulky items, Mandaue Foam does charge a small amount for delivery depending on the location the items are to be delivered.
Unfortunately, because of the nature of traffic routes in Metro, we cannot promise our customers an exact delivery time for our items. We do guarantee that it arrives within the day or whether it is predicted to arrive in the morning or during the afternoon. Slight delays in delivery are also quite common due to road congestion and truck bans within the metro and should be expected. For updated delivery schedules and times, please contact the sales personnel handling your account and they can update you with the whereabouts of the delivery vehicle with your items.
Customer satisfaction is a priority here in Mandaue Foam but if for any reason, you are not entirely satisfied with your product, the company does offer a returns policy. The customer has up to 7 days from delivery to contact the branch and sales personnel that assisted him to process the return of the item. In exchange of the item, the company will provide store credit for the amount paid. If the item that was delivered to you, was damaged during transit or you are not entirely happy with the condition of the item that was delivered, the company can also replace the item with the same item free of charge.
Unfortunately, customized and ordered items cannot be returned as these items have already been customized for the particular customer and cannot be sold to others since they are usually not standard sizes.
All locally made Mandaue Foam products like foam mattresses, spring beds, sofas, etc. come with warranties on the foam against sagging.
For the foam mattresses, the warranty depends on the kind of foam that was purchased. For our Flex Foam, the warranty is 10 years. For the Mega Foam, the warranty is valid for up to 5 years.
Our more high-end models of spring beds come with a 15-year warranty as well on the unit excluding the fabric. These models include Gala Bed Premium Latex, Gala Bed Premium Memory and a 10-year warranty for Hotel Quality Bonnell Spring, Hotel Quality Pocket Spring, and our Chiropractic Bed. Our more affordable models like Gala Firm and Pull-Out Box come with a 5-year warranty.
Our sofas come with a 10-year warranty on the foam and frame as well, exclusions applies. For the fabrics, we do not offer a warranty on that because the care of the fabric whether it be cloth or synthetic leather is entirely up to the customer already.
To avail of the warranty, please keep the receipt of your item as this will be requested by our staff to process your order.

MeetMeego also managed to get their hands on photos and a video teaser of the N9; however the video has been taken down and now all we have to rely on is the description of it on the MeetMeeGo site [German]. Superturbo instant update: Here's a mirror for the video.
The second device will be marketed toward consumers and will likewise be coming out in "a few weeks". It will ditch the keyboard but be pimped out with a 1.4GHz processor. All of this is kind of exciting, just for the fact that *some* MeeGo-based devices are finally hitting the market.
On a side-note, meanwhile in tablet-land, the Intel/MeeGo-based WeTab (featuring essentially the same hardware as the Windows-based ExoPC) is available at all-time-low prices (at least in Germany/Europe). And as previously posted on this site, the new MeeGo SDK featuring QML goodness is ready. So as long as you don't think too much about the question of whether the platform will still be around in a few years, it's a great time to be a MeeGo developer.

Oscars of Indian cinema to be held in US in 2014
TAMPA, Florida (AP) — Bollywood's version of the Oscars is coming to Florida, and it marks the first time that the multiday film event will be held in the United States.
Tampa officials announced Friday that the International Indian Film Academy's Weekend & Awards is expected to bring thousands of visitors to the area next June. Local officials say previous IIFA events have generated up to 24,000 room nights with a local economic impact exceeding $11 million.
According to the IIFA, the awards have a worldwide viewership of approximately 600,000 people.
The term "Bollywood" is the nickname for the Mumbai-based Hindi film industry — but Indian cinema isn't just comprised of the song-and-dance extravaganzas mostly produced there. Indian cinema has become the largest producer of films in the world. India produced nearly 1,500 films last year, according to accounting firm KPMG.
While they have been slow to catch on in the U.S. outside major cities, Indian films have won audiences across the world.
The group's selection of the U.S. as the site for its 2014 awards could signal a push to gain English-speaking audiences. Indian directors also are eager to bring different kinds of films — not just the popular musicals — to a worldwide audience.
In an email, Corrada of Tampa Bay and Co. said the local Indian community was instrumental in winning the film awards bid.
"We have a very active, dedicated and supportive Indian community in Tampa Bay," he said. "They have championed this bid from the beginning and of course, with all of our assets, we make the perfect host city."
The IIFA is based in Mumbai, India. It presents the awards to honor achievements in Indian cinema.
The awards weekend takes place in a different city around the world each year. The 2013 event is being held this week in Macau, and Tampa officials and local organizers of the 2014 event are attending this year's festival.

Newton will keep compost facility open
Newton is planning to invest about $24,000 in its compost facility, but elected officials say that one-time investment is better than spending up to $10,000 a year to haul leaves and brush to the county's landfill.
The city is going to construct a gravel road to its Boston Road compost site, as well as create a silt fence around the site to comply with state erosion control regulations. Newton also faces the prospect of additional expenses — up to $35,000 and more — if the federal government requires additional erosion control measures, said Newton Public Works and Utilities Director Wilce Martin, who recommended closing the site.
However, instead of closing the 65-acre site, Newton City Council directed staff to make state-required changes to avoid monthly tipping fees and manpower that would be required if the city had to find a new place to haul leaves and natural debris.
"I believe it is worth keeping it open for a while," said Council member Wayne Dellinger. "To me, it is worth a gamble."
The city currently disposes of leaves and natural debris collected throughout Newton at the Boston Road compost facility, Martin said.
Those leaves decompose and the city periodically gives away the compost to city residents.
While the city maintains a permit from North Carolina's Department of Environment and Natural Resources to collect and compost the leaves at the site, a December visit by state inspectors revealed that it is not in compliance with state erosion-control regulations.
"The city was cited for not having an approved erosion control plan," Martin told Newton City Council. "It comes down to silt fencing around the site."
Constructing an approved silt fence will cost about $1,120, he said, while building a gravel road would cost almost $23,000 for rocks and gravel alone. City staff would create the road, which is required to allow access for the city's fire department to provide fire protection.
"Compost facilities have been known to spontaneously combust from the heat generated," Martin said. "Basically, this is for the fire department, so they could have access."
Martin warned that "it is only a matter of time" before the city is directed to install a silt pond at the site at an estimated cost of $35,000. The city would also be required to test the pond periodically, which could be costly since samples would be shipped to a commercial laboratory, he said.
Rather than making improvements, Newton's city staff recommended closure of the facility and relocation of existing compost to the county landfill. If the site closed, Martin said Newton Public Works employees would begin hauling leaves and brush to the county's landfill, at a cost of about $9,000 a year, which covers expenses for fuel and landfill tipping fees.
"It costs $9-$10,000 for fuel and tipping fees, plus two or three hours a day for going to the landfill and coming back to the (leaf and debris collection) routes," Dellinger said. "I think it will cost more than $9,000 to take it out there. "
In supporting state-required improvements to the property, Dellinger also encouraged city staff to not seek trouble when it comes to additional requirements like a silt pond.
"Don't ask any questions. Just do the two things they told us to do and keep going," he said. "You get in trouble when you ask questions."
Council member Wes Weaver cast a motion to keep open the compost facility, and Dellinger offered a second. City Council voted unanimously to maintain the compost facility during its January meeting.

"It's really fun going over there fighting and training," Kung said. "Just being at the Fairtex camp, and on top of that, you're going to the mecca of standup."
Fairtex is a fighting stable and has had over 30 world champions come out of their stables located in eight different locations around the world. One of the world champions is Yodsanklai Fairtex and Kung trains side by side with him. Kung has since fought and won his first international fight in April.
"I trained the Floyd Mayweather of Thailand," Kung said of Yodsanklai. "The champion. He has like 12 belts. I had an opportunity to train him."
Though Kung, 29, is 1-0 to start his international professional fighting career, his entrance into Muay Thai was a humbling experience. Kung already won amateur fights in the states and trained at several martial arts schools including Revolution in Benton.
"The first thing I really started doing was Japanese Jujitsu," Kung said, "and whenever I started doing Japanese Jujitsu, the schools I was going to had wrestling, submission fighting and Brazilian jujitsu and I veered into that. Whenever I veered into that, I started training and started doing kickboxing."
After training in Sherwood and Benton, Kung decided to go to New York where his sister, Sherry, lives. Sherry got her brother some contacts and his fighting and training career took off.
"I kind of set up things up for him," Sherry said. "And people like him are very, very rare in New York. You can find 10 thousand designers, or 10 thousand architects, it's very art and design-oriented city, but people like him, it's just incredibly, extremely rare. When you have a city that has so many celebrities, they're all really conscious of how they look and are looking for different ways to fine-tune their body. So, it's really hard to find someone like him in New York. I told my brother, Jeau, there are great opportunities here."
"I went to New York and started looking around trying to find something to do," Kung said. "I looked up Punch Fitness looking for trainers and stuff like that, so I went up there and had a pretty big clientele with celebrities and all. It was really, really nice."
Because of contract reasons, Kung couldn't name any celebrities, but he splits time between Thailand and New York to train them.
From New York, Kung went to Thailand and was given a rude awakening from someone much smaller than him. Kung's first training came from a trainer who had just won a match at Lumpinee Boxing Stadium in Bangkok.
"My brother is quite big, quite large," Sherry said about her 187-pound brother. "[Kung's trainer] was throwing Jeau left and right and Jeau was like, 'what was going on.'"
"We were doing clench fighting," Kung added. "I had done Brazilian jujitsu and submission fighting at Revolution. I won absolute as far as any weight class goes and I've beaten guys bigger than me, but when I went over there, I got my head thrown around by 112-pounder."
Kung said right after his head was being thrown around, 'you know the biggest lesson I've learned today?' Humbleness. You have to be humble. This guy was throwing me around like I was nothing. I've done clench work before with Brazilian jujitsu and thinking I kind of know what's going on. To doing Muay Thai clench work, I really embarrassed myself."
Sherry said her brother was intimidated when he first went to Thailand because it was a foreign country fighting in the style the country invented. She said everyone expected Kung to fail.
"They've been doing it all there life, since they were 8-years old," Kung said of the Thailand fighters. "Whenever you train Muay Thai, it's about skills definitely, but how much, more or less, punishment you can take, if you can meditate through it.
"The Thais have trained their shins into like baseball bats. Every time I kicked them I was like 'Oh my God,' my eyeballs were about to pop out of my head, I couldn't stand it. If you don't do it daily, you could really damage your bones a great amount."
The brother and sister duo also wanted to make it clear that Thailand was not their native country
"We are Taiwanese, not Thai," Sherry said.
"A lot of people get that mixed up," Kung added. "They're like, 'Are you going back to your homeland?' I'm from Taiwan. I'm not from Thailand," he joked.
Though Kung got off to a rocky start in Thailand, his fortune got better as he met a pretty important man by chance at a birthday party in. That important man was Philip Wong, the founder of the Fairtex fighting camps. Wong actually started Fairtex Garments Factory Co. in 1971 producing high-quality T-shirts. It wasn't until 1975 that Wong's passion for Muay Thai became the Fairtex Muay Thai Fitness Camp in Bangkok.
"Jeau really looked up to him," Sherry said. "He's an amazing man and one of the things I really respect about him is you can go anywhere in the world and you ask a Thai person, do you know Fairtex and they say yes. Philip Wong is a very good man. He's all about giving to the people that need help. That's one of the reasons we actually feel very secure about sending my brother out there for such a long time. We call him Uncle Philip now because he treats my brother so well."
Kung agreed and seemed amazed of the quality of the camps.
"The training facilities, the weight and fitness room is complete," Kung said. "They have a yoga place, the training facility at the Muay Thai camp, and they even check your diet and have a place where they do colonics. It's all packaged in one. It's really set up. I can't ask for any more. I'm at a world-class place."
Though Kung loves what he is doing, it's hard for him to be away from his family for two to three months at a time. His wife, Shirley, and two children, 2-and-a-half-year old Genghis, and 1-year old, Jewel, all live in Saline County.
"It's tough for me to leave her and the kids all the time, going over there and not seeing them for an extended period of time," Kung said. "But we Skype a lot and do video chats and such. Whenever I see my kids' pictures of them jumping around, it gives me the motivation to do what I'm doing. 'OK, I know why I'm here now. I've got kids, responsibilities."
What those responsibilities include may want to make many people want to stay in bed. Kung's training consists of running for five miles in the morning, and Kung said Arkansas humidity doesn't come close to comparing to Thailand's.
"It's nothing like running around here because the heat and humidity is so intense, " he said of Thailand. "I feel like I'm in hell. [Arkansas] is cool compared to there."
After the running, Kung does pad work, works out, does an hour of bag work and then does biometric drills.
"We'll sleep and rest, wake up at 3 o' clock and do it all over again," Kung said. "Not the running part. You do run, but instead of running for an hour, you run for 30 minutes."
Though Kung said eight weeks of training before a fight is prime, he trained for just a month when he picked up his first professional win.
"They didn't expect someone like Jeau, a complete foreigner, to go there and start fighting right away," Sherry said with her brother's agreement. "Compared to almost all foreigners, he's really, really fast, especially with nearly no real Muay Thai training background."
"I had some American kickboxing training, but nothing like the Muay Thai like I learned over there," Kung said. "I never learned clinching, I never learned the correct way of throwing knees, I never learned the correct way of throwing a kick. I kind of just taught myself by doing it. It wasn't like anything whenever I went [to Thailand]. After that, my balance was correct. At first when I got there, I thought I was kicking correctly. I was leaning backwards and the trainers would sweep me really bad. I fell on my face about a hundred times until I got my balance down."
Kung said he enjoys the kicking aspect of Muay Thai, but uses all aspects as Muay Thai is the "art of eight limbs".
"I like to kick," he said. "The roundhouse is really quick and effective. It knocks a lot of opponents out. Knees are really, really good; elbows, I'm really naming all of them. You're not selling yourself short with anything. Whenever you go there, they teach you all of it.
"The clinching (a form of stand up fighting) is good. I like to clinch, but I like to kick a lot. That's where I had a big awakening. I was kicking in my pro fight and whenever I got checked, I felt that sensation when he blocked my kick with his shin. I was like, 'Oh my God, I want to quit' and this was in the middle of [the fight]. My will came through and the satisfaction of winning and knowing you trained that much and actually got to use the moves that you worked hard at. The training part was the hard part. It was when you got to the fight was the easy part."
Sherry said Kung has a great personality and that he jokes around a lot, but knows how to motivate people because he knows how hard it is as he was on their same path.
"He really understands how to motivate people and find different ways to improve your body with a different technique," Sherry said.
"Just improving yourself," Kung said. "Everybody has a fight. It's not just in the ring that your fighting. You may go home and get a call that your grandmother just died and you have to take care of family then. It's all how you take care and deal with the situation. I think that's what martial arts is all about. Martial arts is all about self-improving. It's not about the fight, actually, it's about how to better yourself. It's a journey, definitely."
So what does Kung do when he isn't training or fighting?
"I hang out with the kids a lot," he said. "I never understood what two too many was and what it meant until I had the second one. I could handle one kid, but two kids feels like you have 10 kids. This one poops and this one's hungry, or this one's hungry and this one needs to change clothes.
"I hang out with them a lot. Just do relaxing things; go watch movies and try to teach them Mandarin. I hang out with my family. That's one thing that's really, really important to me – and my good friends."
Though he is away from his family and friends for an extended period of time, at least Kung loves what he is doing at Fairtex.
"What else can you get other than that," he asked rhetorically. "I can't believe it in all actuality. I went to Benton High School and now I'm flying to Thailand, go there for two or three months, come home for a month. It's really rewarding. I can't believe I'm doing that."

Things went as scheduled. Fedora 9, code-named "Sulphur" has just been released. Fedora 9 promises some significant improvements over its "Werewolf" predecessor. Though this is a major release version of this Red Hat-sponsored distribution, the excitement is less compared to the flight of the "Heron". But should we care about this so-called publicity more than anything?
Though I didn't notice a lot of sites and blogs that displayed a release countdown image, I didn't care because I'm still pretty much excited about Fedora 9. Counting on some rave reviews of Fedora 9 "Preview" HERE and HERE, I expect this new version to be the best release ever. To really know why I'm so thrilled about it, here is a list of new features that are included in Fedora 9:
*This release features GNOME 2.22. GNOME now includes a webcam photo and video creation utility called Cheese, improved network filesystem support, a new international clock applet, Google Calendar support and custom email labels in Evolution, a new Remote Desktop Viewer, improved accessibility features, and PolicyKit integration.
*KDE 4.0.3 is available in the KDE Live image as well as the regular DVD.
*Xfce 4.4.2 is available as part of this release.
*NetworkManager 0.7 provides improved mobile broadband support, including GSM and CDMA devices, and now supports multiple devices and ad-hoc networking for sharing connections. It is now enabled by default on installations from DVD, CD, the network, and Live images.
*The Fedora installer, Anaconda, now supports partition resizing for ext2/3, NTFS filesystems, creating and installing to encrypted file systems, improved Rescue Mode with FirstAidKit, independent locations for the second stage installer and the software packages. A redesigned, larger netboot.iso image now features a second stage installer partly for this reason.
*Live USB images now support persistence, so your data and setting changes will be preserved even after rebooting.
*PackageKit, a new set of graphical and console tools, with a framework for cross-distribution software management, has replaced Pirut in this release of Fedora. The PackageKit graphical updater is available instead of Pup. Behind PackageKit, the performance of yum has been significantly improved.
*FreeIPA makes managing auditing, identity and policy processes easier by providing web-based and command line provisioning, and administration tools to ease system administration. FreeIPA combines the power of the Fedora Directory Server with FreeRADIUS, MIT Kerberos, NTP and DNS to provide an easy, out of the box solution.
*Ext4, the next version of the mature and stable ext3 filesystem is available as a option in this release. Ext4 features better performance, higher storage capacity and several other new features.
*This release of Fedora uses Upstart, an event-based replacement for the /sbin/init daemon.
*Firefox 3 brings a number of major improvements including a native look and feel, desktop integration, the new Places replacement for bookmarks, and a re-worked address bar.
*The completely free and open source Java environment OpenJDK 6 is installed by default. IcedTea 7, derived from OpenJDK 1.7, is no longer the default. IcedTea includes a browser plug-in based on GCJ, and is available for both x86 and x86_64 architectures. GCJ is still the default on PPC architecture.
*OpenOffice.org 2.4, with many new features, is available as part of Fedora 9.
*Fedora now includes Perl 5.10.0, which features a smaller memory footprint and other improvements.
*Fedora now includes TeXLive to replace the older, unmaintained TeX distribution.
*Fedora 9 features a 2.6.25 based kernel.
*Kernel crashes can be more automatically reported to http://www.kerneloops.org/ and diagnosed in a friendly way via the kerneloops package installed by default. Crash signatures are commonly referred to as oopses in Linux.
*Work on the start-up and shutdown in X has yielded noticeable improvements.
See release notes HERE for the complete list of features and important announcements.
Plenty of hardcore Linux enthusiasts are probably on standby right now and are waiting for their download to finish. By the way, you can get Fedora 9 from HERE. At the moment, I'm downloading Fedora-9-i686-Live.iso. I will see you all later for updates.
How about? Do you care about the Fedora 9 release?

Hey! I just joined this group in hopes to get back on the courts. I haven't been officially rated in many years, but I'm probably in the 2.5 range (but tend to play better when playing with people who are better...and really struggle when playing with beginners). Nonetheless, my schedule is pretty flexible and I would love to play soon.

Richard Sherman has said he can name all the cornerbacks that were drafted ahead of him in the 2011 NFL draft, a long list that includes a trio of first-rounders in Arizona's Patrick Peterson, New York's Prince Amukamara and Baltimore's Jimmy Smith and also a handful of players you have never heard of.
I wonder if he can name the first cornerback who was selected after him, late in the draft's fifth round.
That would be Ravens cornerback Chykie Brown, who came off the board 10 picks after Sherman.
There are no indications that the Ravens would have taken Sherman over Brown. If he was on their draft radar, he was probably a small blip. But they have to be one of 31 NFL teams that are kicking themselves for overlooking the towering Sherman, a raw draft prospect who has become one of the NFL's best corners for the Seattle Seahawks.
Sherman played wide receiver his first two years at Stanford before the Cardinal coaching staff, then led by some guy named Jim Harbaugh, moved him to cornerback. After two seasons on defense, he was viewed as a late-round prospect by many draft analysts (NFL general managers obviously agreed). Check out some of these scouting reports, though.
This NFL.com draft profile said Sherman would be "a contributing backup corner for a press-heavy team." ESPN's Scouts Inc. said that Sherman, who made the game-saving pass deflection in the closing minutes of Sunday night's NFC championship game and also made headlines for his post-game comments, "lacks elite instincts and awareness." Rob Rang wrote that Sherman had questionable speed and was prone to mental lapses, but did say Sherman "may be just scratching the surface of his potential."
It turns out Sherman was indeed doing just that.
In his three NFL seasons, the two-time first-team All-Pro has 20 interceptions, including eight in each of the past two seasons. Playing an aggressive, physical style, he blankets and intimidates wide receivers for a Seahawks defense that was statistically the NFL's best this season.
It's easy to daydream about how Sherman would fit in this Ravens defense, with Sherman playing tight press coverage on one sideline with Smith on the other. (I have to think Sherman would be a nice fit in pretty much every defense, by the way.) But the Ravens passed on him four times and then took Brown in the fifth round, 10 picks after Sherman.
Brown is no superstar, but he has become a useful player for the Ravens. While he is fourth on the depth chart at cornerback -- he could move up to third in 2014 if the Ravens lose Corey Graham -- he has developed into a pretty solid player on special teams and is contributing something, unlike some of the corners drafted before Sherman and him.
Still, Sherman is not the first great player to last deep into the draft and he won't be the last. Hall-of-Fame talents like Tom Brady, Shannon Sharpe and Richard Dent were drafted later than him. But Sherman has vowed to "destroy" the league, specifically the teams that passed him up. The Ravens are one of them, but they are by no means alone.

Brad Mehldau
This follow up to an earlier CD (Alone Together) with Brad Mehldau and Charlie Haden took place exactly one year later at the same venue, L.A.'s Jazz Bakery. Like the first release, the trio takes their time exploring each tune, whether it's the leader's opening blues or a favorite ballad like "What's New" or "Body and Soul." This stimulating set is highly recommended! ~ Ken Dryden

Gov. Bobby Jindal's voucher program that uses tax dollars to send students to private schools was ruled unconstitutional Friday by a state judge who said it's improperly funded through the public school financing formula.
Gov. Bobby Jindal's voucher program that uses tax dollars to send students to private schools was ruled unconstitutional Friday by a state judge who said it's improperly funded through the public school financing formula.
Judge Tim Kelley sided with arguments presented by teacher unions and school boards seeking to shut down the voucher program and other changes that would funnel more money away from traditional public schools.
He said the method the Jindal administration, state education leaders and lawmakers used to pay for the voucher program violates state constitutional provisions governing the annual education funding formula, called the Minimum Foundation Program or MFP.
"The MFP was set up for students attending public elementary and secondary schools and was never meant to be diverted to private educational providers," Kelley wrote in a 39-page ruling.
Superintendent of Education John White said the state will appeal the ruling. Jindal didn't immediately comment Friday.
"We believe that while his decision was very thoughtful, it's in error and that it's not consistent with the interpretation of the Louisiana Constitution," said Bill Maurer, a lawyer representing two parents with children in the voucher program and two pro-voucher groups.
Maurer said he didn't expect Kelley's ruling to immediately force voucher students from their private schools, because Kelley didn't issue an injunction against the program.
More than 4,900 students are enrolled in 117 private schools with taxpayer dollars, in one of the largest voucher programs in the nation.
It was the second legal setback this week for the voucher program that Jindal pushed through the Legislature this year as part of a sweeping education system overhaul. On Monday, a federal judge halted the voucher program in one Louisiana parish, saying it conflicts with a decades-old desegregation case.
U.S. District Judge Ivan Lemelle's ruling affected only Tangipahoa Parish. However, it could have implications in other Louisiana public school districts that are under federal desegregation orders.
Jindal, a Republican who was easily re-elected last year, made the voucher program, a tougher teacher tenure policy and other education measures the signature legislation of his young second term.
He pushed them through in the early weeks of the spring legislative session during marathon committee meetings and floor debates that drew vehement protests from teacher unions and others in the state's education establishment.
"The political rhetoric of 'pro-reform' vs. 'anti-reform' hopefully is over," said Scott Richard, head of the Louisiana School Boards Association. "We're not anti-reform. We just want the political shell game to stop with public funding for public education."
