From weight room to fitness center at Mukwonago High School
Mukwonago Area School District exploring options
Talk of a fitness center at Mukwonago High School has been around for many years. While the physical education curriculum changed this year, phy ed facilities have not kept pace. Last spring the Mukwonago Area School Board began investigating options to expand the current weight room and renovating it into a fitness center to better serve students in physical education classes and in athletic activities, according to Director of Business Services Darren Clark.
"What we have right now is a weight room," said Clark. "It does nothing to help our physical education department."
After months of discussion, the issue of a MHS fitnesscenter came before the school board for consideration on Nov. 26. However, the board put the issue on hold until next month, waiting for more information on two options.
While a fitness center is on the list of capital improvement projects for the district that will be looked at in January, the fitness center was bumped up in consideration to accommodate the extra time needed for planning and bidding out the project, Clark explained.
School board member Jeff Voelkel said there have been "long and healthy conversations" at committee levels and the MHS improvements would fall under capital improvement guidelines to be paid through funds remaining from the maintenance referendum.
The $415,000 project would run the district about $235,000 in construction costs, factoring in a $30,000 savings by doing some work internally, and the rest coming from donations to equip the center, according to Clark.
While the project would improve the high school building, it would also provide a good opportunity for a large number of students, Voelkel explained.
"This is something we can do right now that I think will have a very big impact at the high school," Voelkel added.
Board member Art Schneider added, "It would not only make more possibilities available but would make it safer for students. Everything is so confined."
Initially, several options were brought out for consideration including an addition to the current building, but an addition was deemed cost prohibitive since it could run to nearly $1 million, Clark said. At this point, the board is looking at two options of utilizing current space within the high school, one limited to only the first floor and another with the fitness center on the first and second floor.
According to Clark, the current fitness space at MHS is 2,303 square feet and would increase to 5,569 square feet with a fitness center. The first floor and second floor options would be roughly the same size and cost, Clark said.
School board member Rodell Singert agreed that more space is needed at the high school for physical fitness but did not want that space to "intrude on second-level classrooms."
Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds Curt Wiebelhaus looked at the traffic flow involved with having the fitness center on the first floor and "couldn't come up with a good way to make that work."
"It's something to run by an architect to see if he could make that work," Wiebelhaus said. "That would be wise."
While Singert said he talked with the Mukwonago Athletic Club and "they are very much interested in working with us" to provide better fitness options, transporting physical education students wouldn't be feasible because of transportation costs and time, Superintendent Paul Strobel pointed out.
Strobel also explained that in previous conversations with the Mukwonago YMCA, there was no indication of the YMCA being willing to limit its membership to allow for classes for MHS. However, students could become members and use the facility.
"I would like to see better discussion and a more thorough inspection of expansion without using the second floor," said Singert. "My personal opinion is that we still have some time to make a good decision and for me I would like more investigation."
Wiebelhaus will bring back more information on a first-floor fitness center compared to expanding to the second floor. The issue will come back to the board for a decision on Dec. 17.
MHS fitness center budget
Donations - $150,000 (equipping of the fitness center)
District Portion - $235,250 (construction costs)
Savings - $30,500 (Savings garnered by having students do preliminary design work and utilizing in-house project management.)
Total Budget - $415,750

A second foreign auto worker has been charged under HB 56, Alabama's draconian immigration law. The Japanese Honda employee received a ticket at a routine roadblock police had set up, but he was not taken into custody like a German Mercedes executive arrested almost two weeks ago. The AP reports that the man had a valid Japanese passport and an international driver's license with him when he was ticketed. Honda employs 4,000 people at a factory in Talledega County, Alabama, and last week, the company announced it will invest $300 million in the Alabama plant. Charges have been dropped against the Mercedes executive, but after his arrest, a Missouri newspaper suggested that Mercedes needed to move its investment to the "Show-Me State, not the 'Show me your papers' state."

Thursday marks the two year anniversary of a missing person's case in Hopkins County, and the mystery continues in the search for Rodney "Bo" Hale.
"It's a nightmare every single day. Yes, you got to get up and you got to keep going, but it's a nightmare. It will not go away until there's closure," Cindy said.
If you'd like to show your support for the Hale family, they're meeting Thursday at 3:00 p.m. on Continental Drive in Madisonville to say a prayer.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of Bo, contact the Hopkins County Sheriff's Department.

my passion in life is picture taking. if the universe allowed me to, i would do photography full time. until then, i will train to be a teacher. here is my advice for teachers in training or those who are. we have the freedom to pursue our passions. i understand that it takes a lot to plan a lesson plan, have a family, and be a great teacher but time is on our side! it will take extra work but at the end it is lovely. i have absolutely no time to edit my photos. heck, these were taken almost a month ago. but it is relaxing and a nice way to run away from the world in my mind. also, if you pursue your passion as a career, you will loose the love for it. as teachers, we are lucky because we are force to balance our passions and our teaching career. try it. see how it goes. if you are good at your passion, you might make some money out of it. happy learning!

This breathtaking instrument is available in 4- and 5- string models. The NS Violin, designed by Ned Steinberger, has a remarkable tonal range due to its innovative Polar pickup system, which is able to selectively capture the string vibration favored for both bow and pizzicato technique with stunning brilliance and sensitivity. The violinist who prefers the elegant tone of a fine acoustic will not be disappointed, and for those who wish to explore new sonic territory, the sky is the limit.

Mayor Unveils '05 Louisville Metro 'Tech Map'
Friday December 3, 2004
Mayor Jerry Abramson today joined Silicon River GeoDesigns LLC in unveiling the 2005 Louisville Metro "Tech Map."
The second annual edition of the Tech Map showcases the emerging growth of Louisville's technology community. This year, Tech Map participation grew to 62 companies and organizations, up from last year's 54 companies.
The new Tech Map showcases a comprehensive breadth of technology firms from start-ups, small companies, medium companies, large enterprises, local government, educational institutions, and non-profit organizations all focused in technology advancement in information technology, life sciences, biosciences and healthcare segments.
"The Tech Map illustrates that Louisville is becoming a technology hub," Abramson said. "Our economy's technology sector continues to grow, helping position Louisville to compete in an ever-changing business environment."
The Tech Map is compiled by Silicon River GeoDesigns, to help gain national recognition for the high-tech assets of the Louisville community.
"There is tremendous technology leadership in our region, and our area's infrastructure resources allow for solid economic growth in this sector. We want to continue to help promote and educate all our constituents regionally and nationally about Louisville technologies with this unique marketing tool," indicated Shawn Riedling, co-founder of Silicon River GeoDesigns.
Sponsors of the Tech Map include: Louisville Metro, Sullivan University, TeN (Technology Network of the Greater Louisville Region), and the iTRC (The University of Louisville's Technology Resource Center).
Maps will be distributed through a variety of venues including participating companies, Metro Louisville government and premiere sponsors. For more information about the Tech Map, or to obtain a copy of the 2005 or the inaugural collectors' edition 2004 calendar map, call 502-228-9053, or visit www.LouisvilleMetroTechMap.com

Great article, David! I'm glad you covered pets, I don't think I'd have done as well.
I agree! Nice work, David. You and Brian are doing a great job covering all the basics of this fun class.
Coincidentally, I like the fact that you highlighted the #1 usage of Growl, which is helping the Hunter survive by distracting PvE enemies. At some point in the future, while discussing your progression up the "level ladder," you guys might want to mention the diminishing returns of the Growl ability - that is, what determines its effectiveness against enemies of higher levels, how its effects stack as the controlling Hunter gains levels, etc.

The third model in Jeep 's new Altitude series is based on the Patriot . Like the other two models - Compass Altitude and Grand Cherokee Altitude, the new Patriot Altitude will go on sale this May and it will be priced from $20,240 for 4x2 models and $23,275 for 4x4 models.
The new Patriot Altitude continues the same black theme of the other two models, but features more chrome and polished steel used for the lower fascia and rear step pad appliques, and the roof rails. The car rides on 17" high-gloss black aluminum wheels wrapped in Firestone BSW all-season touring tires.
The list of standard equipments includes: power heated exterior mirrors and heated seats, power windows (driver one-touch) and locks, continuously variable automatic transaxle, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and includes numerous safety and security features, such as electronic stability control, electronic roll mitigation, Hill-start Assist (with manual transmission), and side-curtain air bags that cover all rows.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by Onoc Columbus Hammers Nice jacket, runs BIG Should have known as I own 2 pair of Tiro pants in size small. Ordered the jacket in a M, and it was huge. I am 5'7-5'8, 145lbs. Returned and reordered. Adidas service was great! September 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by knuckles Good Jacket I like the mesh-like panel across the shoulders for ventilation. Only drawback is that the material is rougher than I'd like. April 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Milan RUNS BIG. But still a great jacket. Runs big. Alittle on the baggy side. Wish it fit as slim as the pants. Still a great jacket though. Nice and light weight. Has pull sting for waist in the right zipper pocket. Def a must have if you have the Tiro pants, Prob looks better with the Tiro shorts. September 10, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Soccer mom of 3 My son loves it My son loves the jacket and pants set. He wears them daily almost he says they are the most comfortable outfit ever. I can hardly get them washed and he is wearing it again. They are his high school colors and his soccer team mates love the outfit and say it looks so sharp! October 10, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by All American Inca Satisfied This product was useful both for training and for a fashionable outfit. It keeps you decently warm but not recommended to wear if it is less than 30 degrees. It runs long so it's safer to purchase a size smaller than what you usually order. March 20, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Mamabug Great-as advertised Bought this for my 13 year old son. He is almost 6'0 tall and an XL fits him perfect and still allows for him to grow. I hope he can use this for a few years to come. I would buy it again. December 26, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Soccermate71 Awesome jacket Was not disappointed and was pleased with the always best in class Adidas quality. Fit was perfect. Very comfortable jacket. Was more than satisfied. March 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Chelsea.FC.1905 Great Buy I recommend this product due to its comfort level, not tight and not too big at all. It's also not heavy, good for soccer in the winter. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Bunks Warmup jacket This jacket is fantastic. It's comfortable, sharp, and it is affordable. I recommend this jacket to all soccer players. June 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Nelba Nice Threads! That what my son said when I brought him the gift. He's all about matching his Adidas wear right now. May 17, 2014

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
It fills our aquifers, grows our plants, and remains a lifeline for many south Georgia businesses.
"The hay is not growing which in turn helps my feed sales, but it also deters from the add on things that we sell like the hay twine, fertilizers, and things of that nature," said Tractor Supply Manager Tony Reeves.
"It got extremely dry and we're all thankful to get this rain. I know it's messy for people trying to Christmas shop and getting ready for the holidays, but we really needed the rain," said NeSmith Nursery Manager Karen Crosby.
Business owners say too much rain can wash away new growth, but not enough rain is much worse.
"Today has not been a torrential downpour which would cause it to do that. Today is exactly what we need, but about another week like this solid," said Reeves.
"We're doing some landscape jobs and of course if you have a lot rain, you can't hardly work in the rain. But then when it's dry, the ground is harder. It makes it harder to plant. We have to go and do a lot more watering because plants have to have water. Even though it's cool at night, it's been getting warm in the days," said Crosby.
Nesmith Nursery Manager Karen Crosby does have some advice for backyard gardeners.
"Always mulch your plants and stuff and then when we get a rain that helps to hold the moisture plus it helps keep it from running off so fast."
Crosby says while the mild temperatures have saved them money on their power bill, the lack of rain has done quite the opposite on their water bill.
According to the National Weather Service, drought conditions are likely to persist and possibly intensify through March.

Pre-College Classes
Documentary and news photographers inform and influence our grasp of current events; commercial photographers meet the image needs of business and industry; and fine art photographers help us comprehend culture and society. Since photography is a medium that contributes to both the cultural and economic aspects of society, its students are well-positioned to pursue art as a life's work.
In Pennsylvania College of Art & Design's photography program, vision – design sophistication and the ability to see photographically – is of primary importance, regardless of its application. Students discover how craft and vision are inextricably bound, and develop strong visual skills and knowledge of traditional, digital and experimental photographic processes.
A required internship provides an opportunity to make contacts within the industry and discover aspects of photographic practices that correspond with one's abilities and interests. These professional opportunities, in addition to coursework, prepare students for life after graduation.

Hundreds of people packed into the auditorium at Longwood's Northland Church for a tribute to Talia Castellano Sunday night. Mixed emotions were plain on the faces of many, celebrating what would have been Talia's 14th birthday.
"She would have loved it," Desiree Castellano, Talia's mother told Fox 35. "And it is sad, it's her birthday, but then again I'm just happy that I'm able to show people everything that she accomplished in such a short time."
Talia lost her six year battle with cancer last month. Desiree wants her daughter's legacy to live on.
"She was funny, she was talented with makeup, and design and inspirational; she had a positive attitude, everything that came in as something negative, she turned into something positive," Desiree said.
Coping with two different forms of cancer before she passed, this remarkable teen became a blood bank spokesperson, flew to Las Vegas to interview celebrities for the I Heart Radio Music Festival, and gained worldwide popularity for her candid makeup videos, which sometimes morphed into candid insights into her rage against cancer.
At Sunday night's tribute people enjoyed dancers, singers, even a mini-fashion show. Her friends and family are hoping the event will help Talia's unique attitude and inspirational message remain in people's hearts.
Talia's family is working with several charities, to continue raising money and awareness for children with cancer. It's a mission little Talia began before she passed that they are determined to carry on.

ZIP Codes - Key Concepts
- ZIP Codes are categories for grouping mailing addresses and are not exact geographic regions.
- The centroid of a ZIP Code may be in one County and the associated city/town in another.
- In rural areas, a single ZIP Code may be used for cities and towns in several different Counties.
- ZIP Code "areas" can overlap, be subsets of each other, or be artificial constructs with no geographic area.
- ZIP Codes are only loosely tied to cities.
1 Keeping the above key concepts in mind, what we informally refer to as the "center" of a ZIP Code is most often actually the centroid of a polygon.

Holy crap, this is awesome.

Great use of Sketchup, but my main "wow"-sensation comes from the great sense of traditional media you get in these.

Let's face it, the Bengals linebacking corps, especially Ray Maualuga, underachieved in 2012, missing tackles and not shredding blocks. The only hard hits seemed to come from the secondary, and, personally, I felt little bit irritated by their overall performance. They have a great talent in Vontaze Burfict, but you can't expect him to keep making all the tackles. It tends to wear players out. Vontaze needs help, and this class is loaded with potentially great linebackers, which, in my opinion, is the position the Bengals need to fill with their 1st pick in the 2013 NFL Draft. Here are my top 3 (in no particular order).
Alec Ogletree, Georgia
If you couldn't already tell, I love this guy. He is a monster, a hard hitter, a nightmare for most QBs. He doesn't miss tackles, and his presence made the Bulldogs one of the nation's best defenses. He came out of Georgia, and could be drafted by the Bengals. Ask A.J. Green and Geno Atkins how well that has worked thus far.
Jarvis Jones, Georgia
Yet another player to come out of UGA, Jarvis Jones and Alec Ogletree made that linebacking corps one of the best in the nation. He is one of, if not the best linebacker in the country. There is one problem with him though. He is more than likely a top-10 pick. The Bengals are on the upswing. No top-10 pick again. Weird, isn't it?

Amanda enjoys spending time with her family, reading, music, and dance fitness. She loves watching football and baseball and is excited to be a part of your healthcare team!

Nick is an avid football fan and when the season comes around he pulls for the San Diego Chargers of the NFL and the Alabama Crimson Tide as his college team. When not at work you can find Nick playing dad and husband to his family and numerous animals. If they don't keep him busy his electronic gadgets do!

Wartime Contracting Comm. on billing, human trafficking
Wednesday - 7/28/2010, 2:04pm EDT
"Federal News Radio has told you about nearly $9 billion dollars being unaccounted for in Iraq reconstruction funds. Yesterday, the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan was told about up to $21 billion in questioned and unsupported costs in Iraq contracts.
"Commission co-chair Mike Thibault told Federal News Radio about another, equally disturbing, allegation: that subcontractors are using human trafficking to fill the jobs.
"At least a third of the 200,000 contracted employees in Iraq and Afghanistan work for subcontractors, and many of them are allegedly slaves.
"Since they work for subcontractors, the government has no direct oversight into who they are and what they do.
"Thibault said another focus of the Commission yesterday was on a Defense Contract Audit Agency review of prime contractors' billing and cost records.
"'Pat Fitzgerald (Director of DCAA) indicated he's now up to $21 billion dollars in questioned and unsupported costs where he's taken exceptions out of some $97 billion dollars in contract awards. That is just unprecedented in terms of percentage.'
"Both issues, said Thibault, are a result of oversight, or a lack of it. The government is supposed to have oversight of the prime contractors, who in turn are supposed to have oversight of the subs.
"Thibault said he'd like to see a change in the law so the government can have more oversight and access to subs. Contractors, of course, are pushing back, but between the costs and human rights issues being raised, current oversight clearly isn't getting the job done.
"Or, as Thibault put it, 'this is a major miss.'"

I want to purchase this theme, but first I have a few questions:
1. Can I change the fonts for the menu, headings and body text? 2. Can I use my own colors for backgrounds, buttons, text? I realize this will be done via CSS and/or child theme.
I look forward to your response.
Dear cocov,
If you're willing to purchase a wordpress theme you can do that here. You're available to do all you described above with the theme with adding/editing css styles.
it seems that the contact-send.php is missing the error message when someone forgot to type in a message. Not in your demo but in the file to download here on codecanyon. Could you please check this?
Hey Stephan,
Thanks for notifying us about that. Please register in our support system and create a support ticket on this, one of our managers will get back to you shortly with a necessary solution.
And a hint from me for the index.html:
If you zoom out in your browser to less then a 100% you will cause a break before the last box (ul.block-with-icons ) which will be moved from the very right to the very left below the first box. It looks very messed up but luckily easy to fix: Just lower the width in the CSS from the ul.block-with-icons from 312px to 311.5px.
And there are also two problems with the navigation bar when using the template on mobile advice. The first problem is the navigation box itself. The text is not set up properly and the CSS needs to get changed in line 759 (padding-top has to be 0).
Another problem occurs with the red box next to it. This box needs to become a bit smaller so it fits next to the navigation bar where it is supposed to belong. The current size makes it appear below the navigation bar.
That's it. Everything else works fine and the template is very recommendable ! 5 stars from me …
Thanks Stephan for all your comments, we really appreciate that! We'll take all of them in our minds and improve the template according to them.
I too am experiencing the issue with donate button on mobile device. How do I make the box surrounding the text smaller?
Thanks, we'll make an update for this template this week. Please follow us on facebook or < href="https://twitter.com/ThemeMakers">twitter to be updated with any news from our company.
There is a folder called "nbproject" ! For what is this good for ?
It's unnecessary directory, you can remove it. It's only for us(who developed the template), we just forgot to delete it before upload.
Hi i would like to buy this but beofore im checking out and i noticed that the Donate button doesnt work it doesnt show u anything so tell me how does that work did u forget to post it?
Thanks for your interest in one of our themes. We really appreciate that!
Regarding the Donate button – it doesn't link any where, but you could add there an url for necessary payment processor like a paypal etc.
Ok thanx ..
the contact form doesn´t work. any help? thank you.
Hey a_iulian,
Please check if your webserver have a mail server to send mails. In any way you can register in our support system and submit a ticket with request to help.
Alex, thanks for the reply. The website is hosted on godaddy and I got managed to send the email (I replaced $form.submit(function(e)) with $('form').submit(function(event)). But it still doesn't display the alerts – looks like doesn't parse the response.
Okay, please submit a ticket then, someone from our support team will answer you with necessary solution as soon as he is at working place.

Hello, wrote you a message.
Could be interesting for you…
Cheers, Stephan
Hi Stephan,
I've just replied to your mail.
Great responsive political theme! Quick question. Is the right side a widget or java (where it lists upcoming events, video title, categories, facebook fan, popular posts, testimonial )? I'd like to be able to make daily/weekly updates to the right side by changing one file, and for the changes to reflect on all pages. Makes life much easier.
Hey launch3,
If you'd like to do that automatically you could use our wordpress theme, but not a site template.
Contact page question for some reason when I complete the contact form, the progress bar of it being sent goes on forever and I never get a confirmation on the page that says the email was sent sucessfully.
I do get the test email, but the contact page never acknowleges that it was sent sucessfully.
Hey sfranzken,
Thanks for your notification. I'd suggest you to register in our support system and submit a ticket with the ame request. Our managers will get back to you shortly with a necessary solution.
This theme uses isotope but isotope is not free for commercial use. Does this theme include a license to use isotope?
In case you want to use this theme in commercial purposes you should purchase a necessary license from isotope developers, but we do not sell our theme with such license. FYI we've got a license for our company, so no worries about that
Does this theme come with Demo content?
Sure, it does.
hello, how can i use the blog function??? i like this template, and i need that people can leave a comment, but i don't know how do that! can u help me? thank u!
There is only way to have a fully functional blog on your website is to choose the wordpress version of this design.
ok perfect! thank u very much! the problem is that i have never used wordpress but i will try…!!
Hi I just purchase this template, and my first issue is the Home Page Banner is very slow, Please advice.
There is a setting inside the slider script about the speed, which you could easily edit. Please register in our support system to get advise which exactly file should be edited and which line.
Regards, Alex
Hi Planning to purchase this theme in a weeks time. Need to know how do we implement the blog page design which is in html onto a live blog. Also we need the html version only
Hi there,
There is only way to do that with html version just manually update html code for blog each time when you create a new article.
Regards, Alex
I uploaded theme. But I met following error. How I fix it?
Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template. Name Description Politician-HTML5-CSS-Template/css Template is missing.
Hi there,
As I can see you've purchased site template but not wordpress theme. If you want to have a Wordpress theme please navigate to this link and proceed the purchase. In any way please be more careful when you purchase items here on themeforest. I'd recommend you to pay attention on the category where you are and theme description.
Regards, Alex
Hi there,
Is the facebook widget included in the html version (as in the demo)?
Hi there,
Sure, it's included in there. It's very easy to configure it.
Regards, Alex
Hi. I am having some problems with the Facebook widget. Can you tell me if it is still functional? In the basic theme it has stopped working…no stream, just the title.
Hi there,
Yes its still functional. Could you please submit a ticket in our support system so our support guys would be able to check the widget on your website and will help you getting fixed.
Regards, Jack
Thank you for responding. I was working from a Starbucks (using the free wifi), and it seems some things were blocked. Once I was back home on my regular interent connection, it started working again. Looks good!
Hi there,
Thanks for the updates, it's great to know everything is working properly on your website. If any issues arise please let us know.

Arlington, VA (Sports Network) - The Washington Capitals signed defenseman Mike Green to a three-year contract extension on Monday.
Green's new deal is worth $18.25 million, a lot of money for a player coming off two injury-plagued seasons, during which he registered 11 goals and 31 points in 81 games. But when healthy, Green has proven himself to be one of the top offensive-minded blueliners in the league, with a pair of 70-plus point campaigns (2008-10).
"Mike is one of the best young defensemen in the National Hockey League and is just entering his prime. He will continue to be a key part of our team moving forward," said Capitals general manager George McPhee.
The 26-year-old Green has registered 82 goals and 169 assists in 398 career games, all with the Capitals. He has added seven goals and 29 points in 50 postseason contests.

In my experience the Product Owner is the most underestimated role in Scrum. I think it's also the root cause of many problematic Scrum implementations.
Every Scrum implementation should start with the Product Owner. You should be very clear about the responsibility of the Product Owner:
This means that a product owner is much more than a user story writer. Most Product Owners I've met so far are requirements analysts with a new title. They are not empowered to sort the backlog, they are not empowered to learn from feedback and improve user stories.
If you are about to start with Scrum, start with the product owner. This will be hard enough, as many companies do not have a role or person responsible for the success of their products.

YUMA, Ariz. (AP) - Authorities say a teenager in Yuma has been arrested for bringing a gun to school.
Yuma police say the 18-year-old student at Gila Ridge High School had a small caliber handgun in his possession at school Wednesday.
The teen was interviewed by the school's resource officer. The unloaded gun was later recovered after the teen admitted to putting it in a garbage can.
Police say the student has been booked into the Yuma County Detention Center for possession of a deadly weapon at school.
They say there's no indication that the teen was meaning to harm anyone at the school.

A Vision of Progress
There is broad agreement among NCI leaders about how best to seize these opportunities. First, we must continue to address NCI's strategic priorities, through appropriately aligned new initiatives. Second, we are committed to striving to maintain the number of competing awards near the level achieved during the period when the NIH budget doubled. In addition, we are firmly committed to funding new investigators and devising incentives that will attract the best minds to a field so vital to the health of our citizens - and to our country's future development in a changing world market.
Sound fiscal planning, especially in today's difficult budgetary environment, will be required to achieve these goals. It will fall on the leadership of NCI to make difficult decisions among competing priorities. Scientific consensus in this process will be critical. I will rely on the NCI Executive Committee to discuss operational and scientific issues, guide the decision-making process, and help find the necessary resources, through redeployment, to maintain scientific momentum.
As NCI Director, I take it as my responsibility to find new ways to leverage resources. We will continue our collaborations with other NIH Institutes and Centers, nonprofit organizations, and Federal agencies. We will maintain our support of partnerships with academia that have been so successfully developed within each of the Divisions and Centers at NCI. Such programs stretch across the oncology research spectrum and include opportunities in behavioral science, clinical research, epidemiology, genetics, molecular biology, proteomics, and nanotechnology.
One of the biggest scientific challenges we will face as an Institute will be integrating our diverse research, in order to most effectively utilize new knowledge to generate better outcomes for cancer patients. I like to think of three "spaces": a chemical space, in which we develop the capacity to understand and re-engineer molecules; a biologic space that comprehends the genetic defects that comprise this disease, the signal pathways that become abnormal, the tumor stem cells, and the tissue microenvironment; and a translational space that brings new discoveries to the point where targets and markers inform drug development. Integrating these spaces is dependant on technology and technology development, which bring together the physical and biological sciences. Driving this entire continuum will be computational biology, which adds the rigors of applied mathematics and the capacity to manage, analyze, and utilize large databases. Integrating the chemical, biologic, and translational spaces - with informatics as a common thread - will make the process of interventional discovery much faster, and as we make this continuum faster, we will make it less costly.
One element of our research - from which informatics will be inseparable - will be to study how we can improve the delivery of cancer care to patients in the communities where they live. In an era of highly targeted cancer treatments, I believe that access to care could potentially be the greatest determinant of cancer mortality. NCI will work to extend its clinical trials infrastructure and its science into the community. We will research how to bring the best science to patients - with electronic medical records and interconnected informatics systems helping create a national cohort of cancer patients. This cohort will help us address the translational space and will be a significant factor in reducing the cost of drug discovery.
We live in a time of unparalleled scientific opportunity. NCI will face the challenges that come its way, with a clear vision of how to exploit scientific advances and lessen the burden of cancer.
Dr. John E. Niederhuber

There are sea organisms and fungi which glow in the dark and there's fireflies and jellyfish which glow in the dark. It doesn't do them any harm nor does it do the people around them any harm. I would say its pretty healthy, as well as it would mean more photosynthesis happening in cities which mean cleaner air. I was just curious about how they were doing it and for some reason I didn't think to click the link. But thanks! It makes more sense now. I was afraid it was some kind of chemical thing. nah just genetic modification using existing bioluminescent genes. Genetics is really cool, and so is bioluminescence. I mean they've already made pigs glow using jellyfish genes and pigs are waaay more complicated than trees iirc. So they're actually (i think) less likely to muck it up with trees. In which case GLOWY FORESTS GLOWY TREES GLOWY EVERYTHING (I like glowy things) (via neverwhere-shesays-sheis)

This conversation is closed.
Are people of faith in fact gullible?
Gullibility is the belief in something with no substantiating facts to support that something. I contend that if you believe in something based upon Scripture, whichever religion you belong to then you are gullible. That is not to mean evil or stupid but simply gullible. This also differs somewhat from credulous depending on what actions you take in support of your beliefs or faith.

Apr 29 2013: Gordon, I agree with you to a certain extent - I consider agnostics to be the most rational minded people. Open minded enough to question religious ideology, while leaving the concept of a higher intelligence as an unanswered unknown. Atheists, on the other hand, tend to be angry, cynical and rude. They believe themselves to be correct and everyone else deluded or gullible. This is an arrogant position to take - and one that scientists should never take - as science always moves on.

"The Man of Steel for a new era."
After Flashpoint DC Comics has completely revamped their entire catalogue and restarted their stories in order to bring in new readers with entirely refreshed stories and universes for their beloved characters.
Where as Batman's New 52 stories are actually pretty well done, Superman's have failed to reach the same caliber. How bad is it? Read on.
SUPERMAN tells the story of Kal-El the Kryptonian alien that crash lands on Earth and when taken in by loving human parents is raised to accept our home to be his home as well. He then adopts the name Clark Kent and becomes a news reporter while punching aliens on the side.
The series seems like it doesn't know where it wants to go as it tells brief stories only to scrap them and move on to something else as these new stories were introduced that try to harbor an emotional response from us as fans. I never quite felt like I was too interested as Superman fights forgettable villains that do different things.
The first trio of bad guys each exemplify Superman's senses. A fire monster being his heat vision, a blizzard siren his frost breath and the last an invisible lizard thing. Meh. Then it suddenly moves on and were fighting a villain that has all the potential to be badass and amazing but never feels like it's achieved.
The second villain is called Helspont. I mean look at him.
He screams awesome in the way he looks and he speaks all dark and evil while looking physically imposing enough to face Superman and intellectually able to defeat him as well. Helspont goes on about how he's enslaved billions and all this but he was captured and exiled by his own race, The Daemonites, leaving him here on Earth. So he asks Superman to help him or perish.
It ends in like two issues with Superman just punching Helspont into a mountain. Then Superman going, "Well I guess that's the last of him for now!" This dude has enslaved BILLIONS of people. I mean for someone who could've been a great new villain like Lincoln March in the new Batman books he seems like that kid who tells you he's so badass and was the most popular and awesome guy in his previous school but when in reality he was a ridiculous douchebag that no one liked.
I just don't get it.
Then when the almighty ruler of billions gets a face full of rocks and dirt to apparently not be heard from again until probably a later point, Superman's next bad guy is some chick with a questionable outfit but a really cool power who HAS the potential to be awesome. Her name is Anguish.
Anguish's abilities range from superhuman strength, agility and reflexes. But her unique hook is that her molecular structure is almost like mist. You can't physically hurt her. It was really cool to actually see Superman struggle as his fists and heat vision seeped through this woman like a flashlight to a ghost.
She can also turn invisible. It's such a cool concept. A villain Superman can't even hit or see. But her motives are sort of lame and we never learn how she gains these awesome powers she's literally just like, "And then one day I just had them."
That's not to say the new Superman adventures doesn't have it's cool moments. There's plenty of "THROKS" and "WHACKS" as Superman beats people into justice pies but for everything awesome and cool there's something disappointing.
I hate to use the analogy again like I did in my SAVAGES movie review but this book is like a bag of trail mix. For every cheeto and dorito I pull out there's a goddamn pretzel after them. Superman can be awesome, he just needs writers that can commit to an over-arching story that pits him against something amazing.
I'm one of those fans that doesn't care a lot about Clark Kent. He's a news reporter and he has a bunch of annoying reporter friends who ask stupid questions and hold him back and make him look like a bitch all the time.
I'm here for SUPERMAN.
And even though there are plenty of aliens and such that he pummels they're not interesting. Helspont can be a wonderful villain as long as he actually does cool and awful things then just boast about how awesome he used to be. Anguish can be an amazing anti-hero that can help Superman in future adventures. Focus on these things and embrace the concept that this is the most famous superhero in history and he should have a book series that celebrates this notion with every flip of the page.
The book needs to focus on longer story arcs, better use of the entire cast and not rely on cliche one liners for Superman to use. This character is a mythic and seriously awesome character that just needs the right stories to shine.
Helspont and Anguish can be so much more. But in the end of the day the new SUPERMAN comics deliver some truly shining moments that are peppered with a lot of fluff as well. I just hope this series soars and shines like the character is supposed to be.
( It should also be noted that this series did change writers half-way through and apparently the writers of this book were left in the dark with what Grant Morrison was doing in Action Comics. So a lot of convulated shit got messed with but still—-make it work! )

Bed bugs have infested the Social Security Administration's regional offices in Queens, N.Y. According to a post on FedBizOpps.gov, the agency is looking for a company to provide it with extermination services, including the use of a Bed Bug Heat Treatment Oven.
An SSA executive tells Government Computer News the bed bugs are affecting several offices in the Joseph P. Addabbo Federal Building and that the problem will be addressed as quickly as possible.
The ovens would be used to clean items such as clothing, books, papers, chairs and file cabinets in the office.
This isn't the first time the bugs have been found in that particular space. In December 2009, seven large file cabinets on five different floors in the building were infested.
According to Terminix, New York and Philadelphia top the bed bug infestation list. The tiny critters feed on human blood and can live up to a year.
