What is your new year's theme park resolution?It can be an overseas/cross-country big trip or a small one nearby your home.
From Daniel EtcheberryI have two resolutions, and both of them are nearby my home:
Posted December 27, 2012 at 12:22 PM
1) Dine at Be our Guest and order the ratatouille.
2) Ride the new Test Track.
Comments in chronological order. Most recent at the bottom. Scroll down to respond.
From Brian EmeryI want to do the Underwater Sea Adventure at Discover Cove Orlando.
Posted December 27, 2012 at 12:35 PM
Also hit the new Harry Potter area in USF even though it does not open until 2014. Hey, I can wish….
From Mike GallagherI make only one New Years Resolution each year..and it's exactly the same every year:
Posted December 27, 2012 at 1:35 PM
To do something in the calendar year that I've never done before.
Being the person I am, this resolution is often met through amusement parks..visiting one I've never been to, riding a new-to-me coaster, etc. It may spread into my non-park life as well.
But it's a resolution I've never broken.
From Dominick DTry a Citrus Swirl.

From Kelly MuggletonBrian - I did SeaVenture this year and it was amazing! Highly recommended!
Posted December 28, 2012 at 1:52 AM
My one wish rather than resolution is to get to Disneyland. This depends on funds obviously.
From James RaoIn 2013, I resolve to finally get back to my roots in Southern California (I moved away in 1981). During this trip, I have five main priorities, in no particular order:
Posted December 28, 2012 at 4:21 AM
Spend time with family I have not seen in many years.
Everything else we do = gravy.
From Brian EmeryThanks Kelly – I know the Sea adventure adds a bit to the cost but it does look Fantastic..
Posted December 28, 2012 at 6:33 AM
Every time I see your last name I think of Harry Potter. I am not a Muggle..
From Kelly MuggletonHaha my nickname has been Muggles for years! Waaay before JK stole it! Was glad to finally see a Muggle tee in Uni this year too - of course I snapped it up. :-)
Posted December 28, 2012 at 7:11 AM
From Daniel EtcheberryI should say not over-eating at the Food and Wine festival at Epcot, but I know I would not succeed.
Posted December 29, 2012 at 9:59 AM
From Anthony MurphyFood and Wine festival is a bit tough! :)
Posted December 28, 2012 at 5:57 PM
Be Our Guest Resturant is on my list, but I would like to visit all the Disney theme parks in my lifetime. I know this is more of a goal than a resolution!
From Tim HillmanEvery year I make a resolution to visit a park I've never been to before and a resolution to see a show or ride a ride that I've been on at one of my favorite parks.
Posted December 29, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Last year I added Six Flags St Louis to my resume (bad idea!), and got to ride Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens Tampa (great idea).
This year I'm aiming for Disney's Animal Kingdom as my park and Forbidden Journey as my ride.
From Kelly MuggletonI thought somebody asked but I couldnt log in on my home pc - I mean to visit Disneyland Anaheim.

Teaching Assistant Handbook
Compiled by Prof. Gary E. Ford, September 1999
Revised by Prof. Richard R. Spencer, July, 2000
Assisting Students
The most important function and responsibility of a TA is to assist students to learn the material presented in the course, primarily through answering their questions in office hours or laboratory sessions. The key is to assist their learning, as opposed to doing their assigned work for them. While this may sound like a clear distinction, you will find that this is not always the case. In this section, an attempt is made to clarify the role of the TA.
To effectively educate future engineers, the academic environment should emulate an industrial environment to the extent possible. The TA should function as a senior engineer, who has worked on problems or projects similar to those of the students (junior engineers), but who is not actively working on their problem or project. Thus, the TA should provide advice as to the approach that should be taken, mention key elements that should be considered, but should not provide details of the problem solution or project development. This will often be a frustrating process for the TA, who will often know the answer to the problem, or the best approach to a project design, but who must allow the student to discover this answer or approach on his/her own.
An important element of engineering education is to encourage students to become independent learners. Electrical engineering and computer engineering are disciplines that are changing and evolving rapidly, requiring engineers to continually learn new concepts, approaches, and technology. For many of our students, this is a significant change in approach to education and learning, as they are accustomed to receiving a substantial amount of detailed guidance in high school or community college.
One objective of an engineering educational program is to teach students to "think critically". A "critical thinker" is one who is proficient at assessing and analyzing facts, approaches, and concepts, and uses this ability to solve complex problems. The problems often require a significant level of synthesis of related material. Many researchers believe that critical thinking can be taught. Although a thorough discussion cannot be given here, a few comments are provided. It is hoped that you might become interested and investigate further.
Encourage students to take time to struggle; it is an important part of learning to think critically. When questions are asked, require that they be precise. Students have a natural tendency to look for a quick answer, to find an appropriate question and blindly plug numbers into it. Discourage their belief that your job is merely to "spoon-feed" them all the necessary facts they need to be engineers and that their task is to simply regurgitate that information during exams. Engineers must have critical thinking skills. It is insufficient to merely find an appropriate equation and have a calculator or computer handy.
Closely related to critical thinking is "learning strategy." Encourage students to analyze their strategy. The following points are suggested:
- Many students pack away information as one would put eggs in a carton: each item carefully packed in its own isolated compartment. This is an unproductive way to learn. Encourage students to build as many connections as possible between the pieces of information they learn. Learning is easier if you integrate the facts into a framework as you go.
- Information is recalled more easily if all the facts are stored as part of a system of ideas.
- Problem solving mostly consists of stringing ideas together in new combinations. Thus, practice in finding connections between ideas can be a big help when confronting a new problem.
Teaching Problem Solving
One of the most important and difficult tasks of an ECE TA involves assisting students with problem solving. Often we assume that a person who is good at solving problems will be a good problem solving teacher. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Knowing how to do a problem yourself is very different from teaching others how to solve a particular class of problems. The reasons for this can be found in an examination of the skills involved. When presenting a problem solution, problem solvers tend to aim for neatness, precision, elegance, etc. But such an approach actually hinders teaching because all the mental steps which go into the examination and solution of the problem are essentially concealed in favor of elegance and impression. It is important, therefore, to shift your emphasis. As a teacher, your goal is to make problem steps as obvious as possible, thus enabling the students to see every step along the way to the solution. You should also avoid taking anything for granted, because a computation or explanation you consider to be obvious is often quite alien to your class. The key is to clarify all of the steps needed to solve the problem. The following is a list of suggestions for becoming a good problem solver.
- Read the problem assignment carefully and write out all the information given (concentrate on meaning).
- Figure out which information is relevant and which is unnecessary.
- Don't start to work the problem before reading all the material.
- Use prior knowledge and experience to clarify confusing ideas.
- Understand the problem in terms of what is being asked and what you are looking for.
- Systematize problem steps; make a flow chart.
- Work backwards from the problem goal to highlight intermediate steps.
- Determine whether the procedure you are following will actually help reach the goal.
- Use diagrams.
- Translate word problems into equations or vice versa for clarity.
- Decide what aspects of a theory you are likely to need.
- Break problems into their component parts.
- Do easier and more obvious steps first and look for clues to solving the rest of the problem.
- Restate the problem in terms of models or types of problems that are already familiar and hence more accessible.
- Determine whether the answer you derive is reasonable in terms of the problem.
- Make a rough estimate of what the solution might look like, and use it to check progress.
- Re-check the accuracy of all derivations and calculations.
- Solve the problem in more than one way and compare the answers obtained.
- Develop a list of assumptions about the problem and determine whether they are reasonable.
- Once you have developed a procedure for solving a problem, try the procedure on another similar problem to determine whether it is consistently useful.
- Maintain a positive attitude about solving the problem.
- Be persistent in pursuing the solution.
- Take periodic breaks to let your unconscious mind process the information.
- Write down all steps in solving the problem so that you can check your procedure completely.
- Explain the problem to someone else to clarify thinking processes and assumptions.
- Analyze difficult points as keys to solving the problem.
- Keep a record of difficult problems and use it to determine consistent problem solving weaknesses.
- Summarize the solution after finishing a problem to help in retaining the process, thus preparing for similar problems.
Here are some suggestions for helping students with their problem solving:
- Ask students to think aloud.
- Ask specific questions about their approach:
- What do you know about this problem?
- Can you break the problem into smaller steps?
- What are some strategies you could use to solve the problem?
- Why did you do that?
- How did you get from step 1 to step 2?
- Will you please explain your reasoning behind that step?
- Is there a simpler or alternative method?
Office Hours
In many courses, the TA will be asked to schedule regular office hours to answer student questions about all aspects of the material presented in the course. It is generally best to invite all students into your office together and to allow all of them to hear the questions and your responses. For two or three students, you can meet around a table and answers can be sketched out on paper. If more students are in attendance, it is better to stand at a white board to present your responses.
During office hours, the TA must respond to numerous questions from students about problem assignments and it is important to develop a strategy for responding to these questions before meeting with the students. Review the problem assignment and the solutions if they are available, or think through the approach to the problems if the solutions are not yet available.
Before the problem assignments are due, you should only clarify the problem assignment and resist answering detailed questions about problem solutions. You might discuss examples of solutions to related problems, but these should not be so similar to the assignments as to reveal the solutions. Respond to many questions with questions of your own. Ask what approaches they have considered, what mathematical, analytical, or design tools could be employed. You can suggest a general approach, but do not provide the details of the approach. Resist commenting if the students ask you if they have taken the best approach, or if they have gotten the correct answer to a problem. Encourage students to question and guess. Students learn best when they formulate questions and attempt to devise their own answers. They should be strongly encouraged to think first and to ask later. Some students will come to office hours with the thought that you will jointly work out the problem solutions. You must firmly explain that this is not the purpose of office hours and that the student is expected to solve the problems independently.
You should attempt to spend the majority of your office hours explaining solutions to problem assignments that have already been submitted by the students. At this point, you are free to discuss all aspects of the problems and to discuss solution techniques in great detail.
Attendance at office hours will increase significantly immediately prior to an examination. You should be prepared to review all material to be covered on the examination. You should allow students to guide the session by asking questions, but if they run out of questions, you should be ready to discuss some relevant examples. If you have reviewed the examination prior to the office hour, you should be careful not to divulge the questions on the exam. However, if a student asks you to solve a problem that happens to be very similar to a problem on the exam, you should answer in as much detail as necessary.

Bella was going to The Volturi to save Edward but she got attacked by Victoria in the sqaure and got turned. A new member of the Volturi Benjamin, who is from Egypt and rather mysterious as no one talks to him, finds Bella and he takes her to the Volturi. The Volturi keep Bella with them. Edward is shocked to see Bella as she is but she can;t remember who she is as she is a new born and lost her memory with the change. Edward willingly dies, As time passes Bella and Ben talk and she falls for him. What will happen?
Preface: Bella's Pov:
Death. As scary as that word sounds, I knew my end was coming, I knew it would come, like it does for everyone else, everyone fragile and human. Even animals, some have a short life span, some long but Death never loses. I never really much feared death as I pictured my self dying old and alone on a death bed somewhere in a hospital or at my own house. I never thought my end would come like this, or so soon, Never in the hands of my enemy Victoria. The day I died, was the day I started to live. I was re-born, given a new identity. The identity of an immortal, a Vampire. And this is my story

I know, but Ben is a different Vampire, you know how good he is and Angel is all good and it's okay you didnt vote, some people didn't, I needed a few votes to decide lol. Anyways I am glad you liked the chapter and yes it will be rather intresting to see how things go down with Aro now that Ben is Angel/Vampire
you are a wonderful writer! this story is amazing...can't wait to see how this goes!
Aww thanks :) I am glad you like it so much
Interesting revelation. How will the two sides of Ben work together and what will he be able to do because of it?
Also: interesting situation with the Denali's. It must really be difficult for both Tanya and Irina. Luckily the others are on their side. Will they be divided or will all of them work together?
I am definitely interested to see what happens next!
I know, it is bit odd but Ben's a good Vampire so his Angel side some what suits him well. Wait and see :) he is an interesting Person developing in this story.
Yeah I know, they all had mixed reactions to the Bella/Edward/Ben situation and yes it might be hard for them but I am sure they might think of something
I'll post soon
Wow!!! Awesome!!!!
Ben's an Angel!!!
Can't wait for more!!!
Yeah Ben is an Angel as well :)
Chapter 15~Deal
Ben's Pov:
I looked at Bella on the floor and she looked at me in pure awe and wonderment. I looked behind me and saw huge, white wings. Well....I was not expecting my other skinwalker side to show up now, but Tanya just made me angry and it just spurted out of me like a tiger.
Bella got up and she walked over to me and she ran her fingers down my wings "Beautiful" she murmed looking into my eyes and the others just stood there gaping at us in shock, no one expected this.
I smiled at her warmly and held her close and heard Tanya snarl "Oh for god's sake" she said and Bella looked at her and the room began to tremble.Everyone looked at Bella in shock and I rubbed Bella's arm and held her close to me, my grip around her tight and protective and once Bella was calm the room stopped shaking
"What just happened?" Bella asked confused, did she have a new power? I then noticed Alice looked a bit spaced out, like she was having a vision "Alice? Alice..." no response "Alice!" we all yelled and she snapped out of her haze
She blinked, even though she did not need to blink seeing she was a Vampire and all "Bella has more powers then just the shield, she has different types of shields, a mind shield to protect her enemies from reading her mind that can protect others also, a physical shield and shields that can harm and destroy enemies, and also she can start earthquakes if someone makes her mad."
"So she made an earthquake?" Taynya asked and she sounded resentful and full of envy.
"Almost, few more seconds and it would have been done." Alice said.
Tanya frowned "Well I am not helping." she said and sat out
Irina looked at Tanya "Tanya, I know you liked E...."
"Don't you dare talk to me about Edward." Tanya yelled "He's dead and I am not protecting either of them." she pointed at me and Bella.
"But we are," Carmen, Kate, Irina and Eleazar said sticking by our side leaving Tanya on the other side of the room glaring at us especially me and Bella.
"Fine, sounds like a deal." Tanya snapped at them "I don't see why you have to defend them, especially this freak of nature." she said looking at me
"He's not a freak." Bella yelled at Tanya.
"Who asked you?" Tanya said and walked to her "You think you're so perfect huh? Miss I got few powers." she said and grabbed Bella by her shirt "Well let me tell you something, you're nothing but a fake. I don't see what Ben can see in you." She was about to let her go but Bella kicked her into the wall mad.
"Leave Ben out of this." Bella said now even more mad.
Tanya jumped back up and ran at Bella and slammed into her and they flew through the wall making a hole in it and skidded across the snow outside wrestling.
Kate ran outside and she pulled Tanya from Bella who looked she wanted to rip Bella's head off and shoved Tanya away "What's the matter with you?" she yelled at her own sister "I can;t even call you my sister anymore, Bella done nothing wrong and you treat her like she's the enemy."
"She is." Tanya spat
"You want to shut up before I rip your head off?" I snarled at Tanya, now really mad and Carmen, Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper pulled me back.
Tanya laughed and smirked "Now that I'd like to see you try."
"Don't you dare touch him." I heard Esme, Bella, Alice, Rosalie, The rest of the Cullens and the other Denali's say at the same time all stood around me and glaring at Tanya
"You pick them over me?" Tanya shrieked
"They are family." Eleazer said
"Well." Tanya smirked then walked off leaving us there outside the house and Bella bit her lip and sighed as she looked at the hole in the wall that she and Tanya made
"I am sorry about that." Bella said
"Don't worry about it." Carmen said and squeezed her shoulder lightly
"Okay we should go and find Peter and Charlotte." and with that we were off again to find more help to fight the Volturi
I hoped you liked this chapter I just posted, and here is a trailer by Jesse Desplat for this story so enjoy :) and Oh few more chapters and this story will be at an end but there will be a sequel
Interesting turn of events! I wonder what Tanya will do now that she is on the outs with everyone?
thanks and yeah Tanya is a mystery for now..

There's no question the Philadelphia region is home to one of the most advanced medical centers in the world, but for some, art plays a role in medicine and miracles.
At the Philadelphia Museum of Art, hanging on a wall is the work of insurance professional turned full-time artist Kay Martin.
It's not a Picasso - that's not Kay's style - but instead it features recycled items or trash to some people.
It all started after a terrible car accident that left Martin with a broken neck.
Without any feeling in her hands, Martin underwent excruciating therapy at Magee Rehabilitation in Philadelphia.
Her therapist, Lori Tiberi, helped Kay paint her way through it.
Her passion has become her therapy.
"It helps psychologically, it helps physically," Kay said.
Kay's spirit and creativity is why the museum displayed her piece as part of a special partnership with Magee Rehabilitation.
A life long dream of Kay's has come true by way of a life altering nightmare.

WASHINGTON — Uncompromising and politically emboldened, President Barack Obama urged a deeply divided Congress on Tuesday night to embrace his plans to use government money to create jobs and strengthen the nation's middle class.
He declared Republican ideas for reducing the deficit "even worse" than the unpalatable deals Washington had to stomach during his first term.
In his first State of the Union address since winning re-election, Obama conceded economic revival is an "unfinished task," but he claimed clear progress and said he was seeking to build on it as he embarks on four more years in office.
"We have cleared away the rubble of crisis, and we can say with renewed confidence that the state of our union is strong," Obama said, speaking before a joint session of Congress and a television audience of millions.
In specific proposals for his second term, an assertive Obama called for increased federal spending to fix the nation's roads and bridges, the first increase in the minimum wage in six years and expansion of early education to every American 4-year-old. Seeking to appeal for support from Republicans, he promised that none of his proposals would increase the deficit "by a single dime."
Obama also announced new steps to reduce the U.S. military footprint abroad, with 34,000 American troops withdrawing from Afghanistan within a year. And he had a sharp rebuke for North Korea, which launched a nuclear test just hours before his remarks, saying, "Provocations of the sort we saw last night will only isolate them further."
The president implored lawmakers to break through partisan logjams, asserting that "the greatest nation on Earth cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next."
Yet Obama offered few signs of being willing to compromise himself, instead doubling down on his calls to create jobs by spending more government money and insisting that lawmakers pay down the deficit through a combination of targeted spending cuts and tax increases. But he offered few specifics on what he wanted to see cut, focusing instead on the need to protect programs that help the middle class, elderly and poor.
He did reiterate his willingness to tackle entitlement changes, particularly on Medicare, though he has ruled out increasing the eligibility age for the popular benefit program for seniors.
Obama broke little new ground on two agenda items he has pushed vigorously since winning re-election: overhauling the nation's fractured immigration laws and enacting tougher gun control measures in the wake of the horrific massacre of school children in Newtown, Conn. Yet he pressed for urgency on both, calling on Congress to send him an immigration bill "in the next few months" and insisting lawmakers hold votes on his gun proposals.
On the economy, Obama called for raising the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $9 by 2015. The president also wants Congress to approve automatic increases in the wage to keep pace with inflation.
Obama also renewed his calls for infrastructure spending, investments he sought repeatedly during his first term with little support from Republicans. He pressed lawmakers to approve a $50 billion "fix it first" program that would address the most urgent infrastructure needs.
Education also figures in Obama's plans to boost American competitiveness in the global economy. Under his proposal, the federal government would help states provide pre-school for all 4-year-olds. Officials did not provide a cost for the pre-school programs but said the government would provide financial incentives to help states.
Among the other initiatives Obama is proposing:

Strengths: Excellent crankset with a good value and removable spider to go 1x10.
Weaknesses: Chainline a bit too much to the right to my taste.
Bottom Line:
The biggest advantage of this crankset is that it feature a removable spider like the X9/X0/XX so you can go to a 1x10 setup with a direct mount chainring like a Wolftool Component or Absolute Black. You can shave a lot of weight doing that without needing to buy a more expensive crankset.

In 2006…. the Rolaids brand was acquired… Johnson & Johnson drastically reduced its distribution of Rolaids-brand products, and the attendant promotion of those products… [Heath] Bell and Rafael Soriano, the winners in 2010, didn't get their trophies. José Valverde and John Axford, the winners in 2011, didn't get theirs, either…
The way the Players Association saw it, the Rolaids Relief Man Award was still being promoted on a corporate website in 2010 and '11, so somebody owed four pitchers their trophies from those seasons….
Tuesday morning in Cleveland, Axford became the last known recipient of the Rolaids Relief Man Award…
While Jim Johnson did receive a bonus for finishing atop the (unofficial) Relief Man standings in 2012, neither he nor NL winner Craig Kimbrel received the hardware, nor are they likely to. The owners of the Rolaids brand didn't maintain the Relief Man standings that year… Johnson told me last month, "I want my fireman's helmet."...
I agree with Jayson Stark: It's time—actually well past time—for the BBWAA to introduce an award for relief pitchers. I wouldn't call it the Jerome Holtzman Award, as Jayson would. It's not a bad suggestion. I just think naming an award after a writer isn't a great idea. I'll suggest instead the Mariano Rivera Award for the American League, and the Trevor Hoffman Award for the National League…

(I also prefer sportswriter voting to either statistical formulae or retired players voting.)
As I recall it, Rolaids was a fit in the 1970s because - and I know this is going to sound ridiculous to you youngsters - the best reliever often came into the game in a big spot, even if it was the 8th inning.So when this reliever arrived on the mound, fans were reaching for the Rolaids because it was a dangerous situation as they arrived (hence the even earlier "Fireman" tag).
My recollection is that Rolaids came on board because their advertising tagline at the time was "Rolaids Spells Relief", and they saw the award for "relief" pitchers as a way of cementing that concept in the public's mind.
Concur. They had all those commercials where people gotasked to spell relief,

"Really hard to change the bulbs; you have to push in a gu10 at precisely the right angle. Bad design, steer clear. I do lots of shopping at Wickes but these are no good imo."
"A great quality light fitting with clear instructions that was really straight forward to fit. I recommend it! I replaced the 50w bulbs supplied with 35w ones as it was too bright in my bathroom. Bulbs really easy to replace using the rubber suction cup supplied so not sure why other reviewer had problems!"
"Just replaced all our light fittings with these downstairs and they look awesome. Very sleek & modern. Unfortunately the bulbs they come with have started to die within days of installation. (Had to replace 3 bulbs over 4 light fittings within a week of installation). Have prebought some nice LED's to replace them with but would have replaced all the bulbs before installation if I had realised the lifespan of the halogens as the bulbs are quite a mission to replace. Getting the old bulb out is relatively easy but I found getting the blind mm precision required to get the new bulb in more of a challenge."
"Try fitting the bulbs before you fit the unit in place! Unless you have fingers less than 1 millimetre thick, you'll struggle to turn the bulbs to lock them into the holders. Using a rubber glove to grip the flat front face of the bulb did it for me but I'm not looking forward to the day a bulb needs replacing!"

Every U.S. school would have armed, trained personnel under a proposal funded by the powerful National Rifle Association and unveiled on Tuesday in response to December's massacre at a Connecticut school.
The proposal of the National School Shield Task Force also includes security accords between schools and law enforcement, an online safety assessment tool for schools, state safety standards and improved federal coordination for school safety.
Asa Hutchinson, the panel's director, said having a trained and armed security officer or staff member in each school was a key element of the proposal.
"Obviously, we believe they will make a difference in the various layers that make up school safety," Hutchinson, a former congressman, told a news conference held under unusually heavy security.
"This is not talking about all teachers. Teachers should teach."
Security officers and staffers would need 40 to 60 hours of training that would cost $800 to $1,000 each.
The NRA paid $1 million for the 225-page study. The 12-member panel included Ralph Basham, a former head of the U.S. Secret Service, police and security officers and five representatives from Phoenix RBT Solutions, a law enforcement training firm.
The report's recommendations said the NRA could develop and carry out armed personnel training. Given school funding shortfalls, the National School Shield program also could step in with NRA backing to support safety programs.
The panel also called for adoption of a model state law for armed school staffers and a program to assess threats and support mental health of students.
The gun lobby's proposal is in reaction to the December 14 massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, in which 20 students and six adults were killed.
Mark Matteoli, whose son James was among the slain Newtown students, said he welcomed the recommendations and applauded the panel's work.
"This is recommendations for solutions, real solutions that will make our kids safer. And that's what we need," he told the news conference.
Hutchinson's proposal was similar to the post-Newtown call by NRA Chief Executive Wayne LaPierre for armed guards in all U.S. schools. The suggestion drew strong criticism from gun control advocates and the biggest U.S. teachers' union.
In a statement, Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, called the new proposal a "cruel hoax" and said it would fail to keep schools safe. She urged Congress to act on gun-control legislation.
The liberal American Civil Liberties Union rejected Hutchinson's report. It said the proposal could get the federal government in the business of supplying arms to teachers and heighten the risk that students could be funneled into the criminal justice system.
The Newtown massacre galvanized the U.S. debate over firearms, which are protected by the U.S. Constitution. No major gun legislation has passed Congress since 1994.
Lawmakers are scaling back President Barack Obama's ambitions for sweeping gun control measures made after the Newtown killings.
Gun-control advocates say expanded background checks would be the most effective way to reduce gun violence. Opinion polls show that more than 90 percent of U.S. voters and 85 percent of gun owners support it.
While such a measure could pass the Democratic-controlled Senate, it faces long odds in the House of Representatives, where Republicans hold the majority.
The NRA, which claims 4.5 million members, instead wants the federal government to step up prosecutions under existing gun laws.
On the state level, legislative leaders in Connecticut said late on Monday that they had agreed to some of the toughest gun regulations in the nation and expected to adopt them this week.
Asked about the Connecticut legislation, Hutchinson said it would be "totally inadequate" for school safety.

4 Responses to "NRA proposes armed guards in all American schools"
I don't really like the proposal but it would do more versus more control over the legal gun buying process to help lower violence in schools. If our objective is to lower violence we really need to be looking at the root causes for the violence, and not the tools used by those that are violent. Take away the guns and they will find another way like bombs or motor vehicles.
The easy availability of guns to most anyone is creating an Orwellian surveillance state in America.
And now we are proposing to transform the school from an environment of academia to a site of criminal law enforcement.
Least we forget Columbine High School had armed security guards on staff and Virginia Tech had their own police force. Neither prevented the shootings that occurred there.
"Every U.S. school would have armed, trained personnel under a proposal funded by the powerful National Rifle Association"
Which they had, at Columbine in Colorado, and the 'personnel' was pretty much ineffective. The slaughter was not prevented.
Furthermore, I strongly suspect it's only the proposal they're funding, not the actual employment of the armed guards. If the NRA wished to put forth the money to pay for what they are proposing, I'd be slightly less inclined to just laugh the whole idea out of the schoolroom.
It's insane.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Overall the majority of the teachers are great. They are very helpful and supportive towards kids, and they are respectful. There are always those few teachers though that should not be teachers. The administration, mostly the principle, is the main problem of the school. The students are no longer allowed to sit where they choose at lunch. They are required to file into the lunch room by class and are assigned seats. They then have to wait to be dismissed from the table to go buy their lunch. Throughout the lunch time they have to raise their hand to get up. Students are required to wear lanyards with their student ID's on it. Kids here are treated like elementary students who are given no freedom. In some areas even elementary students have more freedom then the middle schoolers at RLMS. I am very disappointed with the administration, and think there needs to be a change. The academic area is very high, and kids receive a good education. Their leadership program is very unsuccessful, and all they do is lecture students during their meetings, but nothing is ever really accomplished. I loved my 6th grade year, but once changes were made I hated my 7th and 8th grade years.
Can you believe the rock won an award for a Bullying program, the Bullying continues everyday as if there was no program in place. The staff are sick of dealing with it. The kids are sick of being bullied! The school simply does know how to deal with all of these out of zone kids that do not fit in!. The students are NOT allowed to sit with there friends during lunch. The admin. is punishing the zoned students for the admin. errors!
My daughter is finishing 8th grade, and althought we as parents have had no real problems with her teachers, we are sick of the school and the administrative dept., as well as many teachers, just turning their heads at bullying. Thankfully, our daughter has not had issues herselt until 8th graade.......the school can care less. Also, shame on you for bringing in a Christian group called Beta Club. The world is not all Chirstian and this is part of segregation. The rules instated by the school re: ID Badges (which do NOOOO good except for giving bullies the name of the person they want to bully) and assigned LUNCH seating. You are taking our kids and treating them like NO ONE and NOTHING. We, as a family cannot wait until she graduates. You administrative people and the principal have alot to work on.
Administration brought in a Christian based group called Beta Club under the idea that u must be a top notch student. The problem is, Administration is deceiving the students and parents and has NOT informed them that usually small back woods Christian schools are members and supporters. Shame on You!
My son recently completed 3 years at Rock Lake and he is my second child to attend this school. It is not the school it once was. The principal and current administration are the primary reason for the decline. The principal rules through fear and favoritism. No longer is there an atmosphere of respect and fostering growth and positve encouragement - along with high academic achievement. Parents are not welcomed as Dividend volunteers and are treated with hostility. Sadly my son was not adequately prepared for high school due to the low expectations of the curriculm. Very dissappointing considering the experience my older child had before the current principal arrived.
My son just completed 6th grade at Rock Lake. The teachers were great and the administration was accessible and involved. My son is an IEP student and he received the extra attention that he needed to succeed. I highly recommend RLMS.
I've been a student here for three years now. The administration is ignorant. The teachers are very rude to the kids and get away with it. The school really is all about popularity. The principal doesn't know what she's doing, and neither do 75% of the teachers. Rock Lake is very unfair with how they pick sides with students and never listen to the other side. They never do any investigation of any situations and automatically pick sides based on who they like more. Don't send your kids here.
Very disappointed in this school, more specifically, since the new principal has taken the helm. My son spent the worst years of his life here, being bullied because of a disability. With the exception of a few of the gifted teachers, the faculty is clueless and the principal is running a popularity contest. When I was finally granted "an audiance" with the prinicpal, she told me that my son should "just ignore" being bullied. That, to me, speaks volumes. I am putting my 5th grader in a magnet program at different middle school next year.
I can agree with previous statements that there have been cuts. I'm extremely disappointed with the administration. Bullying is defiantly a concern. There is also favoritism with students. Teachers lack of experience with special needs children. The principal is one of the worst to deal with.
Rock Lake is an overall outstanding school. Though due to the recession they've had to cut a lot of electives. Teachers really don't prepare you for what's up ahead. The principal is fine, but can be uptight at times. Overall though great school.
Rock Lake middle school has some really good teachers that do an excellent job teaching, and really seem to care about students. But not all teachers are good teachers and there seems to be an equal mix of the 2 at this school! Bullying is a major problem at this school. From what my children & other students have told me most the teachers and the administration look the other way most the time when it comes to bulling. Then there are a few that go to the extreme favoring one child over another on pure opinion instead of facts. I am personally disappointed with the administration when I had some concerns. There are little to no Extracurricular Activities offered at this school this year.
This school is great. It provides you with many learning oppurtunities.
My daughter's teachers were definately under my expectations. Half can not even grade papers!
Amazing School!! I think its the best school!!!!!
It's like the best middle school in Seminole County I think :D
i love this school , im a cheerleader for it right now and its the greatest school i have better grades evverytime i get a reportcard they just keep getting better
I was a student at Rock Lake for all 3 years,h. Rock Lake gives an outstanding basic education but upon leaving 8th grade for freshman year in high school, i found myself drowning in the amount of work and difficulty of work in high school. The teachers did not prepare anyone in my 8th grade honors classes well enough as they should've, and due to this we all have to work super hard to get good grade for the next 3 years. I was involved in band, which Rock Lake excells at, Mr. Hedgecoth is an excellent teacher Safety is also an issue.
The gifted program at Rock Lake Middle School is wonderful! My child was happy and involved throughout her three years there. Make sure you have the teachers email addresses and you keep in contact. There is no reason why you cannot get involved and volunteer. The quality of the parents as well as the children is A++
Rock Lake has outstanding curriculum programs that keep students interested and involved. The faculty members are dedicated to helping students work up to their highest potential. As parents we found it extremely difficult to work with the principal, who is very cold and unyielding. The administrative staff is frequently unable to provide accurate or timely communications with parents. Teacher turnover has increased leading to speculation that the leadership provided leaves something to be desired.
Great academic programs, teachers really connect with students, classes, projects are fun and interesting. The teachers have really awakened academic passions in my two children. I wish there was more time and organization for lunch and phys-ed.

MANITOWOC, WI (WTAQ) - Manitowoc County sheriff's say a man and woman were arrested following a chase and crash Tuesday.
Authorities say it happened just before 4 a.m. on Interstate 43 just south of Highway Z in the Town of Cooperstown.
A deputy tried to pull over a car due to a suspended registration.
Instead of pulling over, the driver sped up. Traveling north on I-43, the chase reached speeds of 130 miles per hour.
The car took the Denmark exit, but was traveling too fast to make a turn onto Highway KB. The car went over a curb, ending up in a ditch. The car's front end and undercarriage were damaged, and it could not be driven.
A passenger got out and ran away. Using police dogs, deputies tracked her down and arrested her. The driver got out and was arrested as well.
The driver was identified as a 29-year-old man whose last known address was in Green Bay. The passenger was a 25-year-old woman, also from Green Bay.
The two are being held in the Manitowoc County Jail on unrelated warrants.

MESA, AZ — Red Mountain Ranch Elementary School will remain closed for several weeks while mold remediation tasks are completed, according to The Arizona Republic.
After a small amount of mold was discovered behind a wall in a classroom and along a baseboard, the school hired a company to replace all of the drywall throughout the school and address any other suspected moldy areas, the story stated.
The mold remediation efforts will not interfere with the start of the 2009 school season and will be completed by the scheduled August 12 opening, the story noted.
Several parents of Red Mountain Ranch students feel that the school did not act quickly enough to address the mold issue before it became a problem, the story added.
Katherine Bareiss, a spokeswoman for Mesa Public Schools, said: "Throughout this process, we have been very open with parents. There are some parents who agree with Mr. Young [who transferred his daughter to another school because she is allergic to mold], but the majority of the families with kids are happy with the school."
According to the story, in an effort to increase the transparency of the process, Red Mountain Ranch Elementary School has posted results from various air quality tests on their website.

Legal Secretary/Receptionist Jobs
Legal Secretary/Receptionist Overview
Legal secretaries are often the face of a law firm. They are the first person a client sees or talks to over the phone. They play an essential role in making a law office run smoothly and professionally. Legal secretaries perform many of the same tasks as receptionists in other fields, such as answering phones, drafting messages, organizing files, scheduling appointments and assisting staff members. They also perform other administrative or clerical tasks as assigned by partners, associates or paralegals within the firm. Specific duties include preparing correspondence and papers, using legal terminology, for summonses, subpoenas, complaints and motions. Legal receptionists may also assist attorneys, legal assistants and paralegals in case preparation and legal research.
Legal Secretary/Receptionist Education Requirements
No specific education is required for legal secretary positions. However, most law firms will require candidates to have a high school diploma or GED certificate. To remain competitive in the field, legal secretaries should pursue a certificate program or associate's degree with an administrative or legal focus. These degrees are offered at community colleges, trade schools and vocational schools across the country. Applicable course subjects include legal terminology, correspondence methods and legal procedures.
Legal Secretary/Receptionist Job Market
The job openings for legal secretaries is expected to rise approximately 12 percent from 2012 to 2022, which is about as fast as the average for all occupations. Legal secretaries with computer knowledge will have an edge over the competition as law office environments increasingly move to digital formats and online research methods.
Legal Secretary/Receptionist Salary
The median annual salary for legal secretary receptionist jobs is $42,390 per year. Legal secretary salaries vary widely depending on factors such as the location, reputation, type and size of the law firm worked. Factors such as years of experience and educational background may also affect earning potential.

data mining
A class of database applications that look for hidden patterns in a group of data that can be used to predict future behavior. For example, data mining software can help retail companies find customers with common interests. The term is commonly misused to describe software that presents data in new ways. True data mining software doesn't just change the presentation, but actually discovers previously unknown relationships among the data.
Data mining is popular in the science and mathematical fields but also is utilized increasingly by marketers trying to distill useful consumer data from Web sites.

Gorgeous Wedding Invitations
Rustic Peacock Square Invitations We love our invitations! We received so many compliments. We couldn't be happier with the end results. Not too expensive to ship either.
peacock escort cards
Rustic Peacock Wedding Place Cards I ordered peacock escort cards for our wedding and they were absolutely beautiful! They looked just as pictured as on the website and the personalization was accurate. In addition, the order came at a reasonable time. I definitely recommend this item.
Very Pleased, and they we're even helpful!
Rustic Peacock Gate-fold Invitations Ok, lets start, this is for two guys wedding we holding in NY. We changed main color to dark blue with light beige backgrounds. Delete front page title and just left peacock feather art. Was able to give extended message on back, was helpful as our wedding in NY and we live FL so many friends can't attend. Got 2 separate cards, one for reply, and had one done with venue location info. Ordered favor tags, place setting cards, and in future thank you cards. All coordinated in blue and beige with the peacocks. Oh, and just to touch it off got peacock feathers online and inserted one in the invitation to keep the theme. (favor gifts we also got tags for are Murano Glass wine stoppers in peacock design glass). Very pleased with service, it is greatly appreciated.
Great Overall Product
Rustic Peacock Enclosure Cards Shipping was fast and the website was easy to navigate, although a bit slow moving at times.
Save the Dates/Invites
Rustic Peacock RSVP Postcards was really impressed with the save the dates and the invitations. The only complaints I have is that there isn't an option to get outer envelopes and inner envelopes. You only get the inner. Everything else was really great though

Great Gift Idea: Make Hot Cocoa Ornaments
Apparently if you come to my house for a party, I'm bound and determined to send you home with miniature drinks. Remember those hot apple cider shots? Well this time around it's hot chocolate... in an ornament. Fill them up and drink straight from it, because this ornament isn't for decoration, it's for deliciousness.
Some of the best ideas for small favors or handmade gifts come from wedding blogs and today's idea is no different. We checked in over at Project Wedding where we found these cute little hot cocoa ornaments.
They're intended to be filled with hot water, stirred and drank straight from the glass ball. Does that make you a little nervous? The actual drinking part doesn't, but the glass ball not shattering when I pour hot water in it might.
If drinking is too much for you, it's still a super cute way to give the gift of tasty hot chocolate in individual serving sizes with some serious presentation. You can use extra fancy chocolate or mints, but because of the small amount going in each one (which could then be poured into a mug at home), you won't break the bank. What do you think of the idea?

I get it...It's cute... However I can't pretend that the idea of pouring boiling water into that tiny hole of a thin glass ornament and then having to hold that while sipping, doesn't freak me out a bit.
Hey throw some silica crystals in there and keep them as ornaments! Cute, but Ill keep my actual drinks in mugs or fancy ware.
These are very pretty but I can't help but think that they are majorly dangerous. 1 - drinking a hot beverage out of that looks like a recipe for danger, 2 - I'm sure those things are not tested to be safe for consumption (ie: there are probably chemicals, etc. in them that can either make you sick in the short term or give you cancer in the long run) and 3 - the risk of drinking tiny shards of glass seems quite high.
There is nothing smart about this idea. It has emergency room visit written all over it. Those ornaments are made from very thin glass, not heat tempered. Have you ever seen one shatter? You find shards forever. Plus, holding a hot drink in something with no handle...just plain dumb.
This is a horrible idea if the intended result is for someone to actually drink this. They recommend using everyday clear glass ornaments you get at any craft store. WTF, use common sense people. This is exactly why I could never take wedding websites seriously.
Also, these won't look pretty for very long, cocoa powder coats everything it touches, so after shuffling these around in a box or car a few times they will look like pretty little glass balls with very lumpy dirt inside.
ornaments are not made from thick glass.. this is dangerous.. hot boiling water hitting thin glass can shatter it..
Cute - as an ornament. I've been on an ornament decorating kick lately, and every ornament seems to have thin glass strings in the opening (I got a nasty glass splinter on my first, and have been VERY careful since). I would not put my mouth near that opening! And I wouldn't trust there wouldn't be glass pieces inside.
Oh, for heaven's sake...just give me a MUG.
I hate these "who can look like the biggest idiot trying to sip an ounce of cocoa out of an ornament" contest/posts.
This is cute. If you want to spend a bunch of time trying to get cocoa mix in that tiny neck, more power to you. But suggesting that you drink hot liquid out of it? Unsafe, as the other commenters mentioned...and annoying to boot.
I agree with the OMG CUTE factor and also the OMG DANGER factor, and propose fancy, iced cocktails in this form instead.
Cute as an ornament, but I doubt they are safe for food use. And, yeah, pouring hot water in there would make me super nervous even if they were. But if someone wanted to put more of a DIY effort into it, I bet you could buy some small, round glass jars and turn it into an ornament-looking thing.
It doesn't seem safe to even drink cold liquids out of these ornaments. Are you going to wash them first? The insides could be filled with dirt, dust, and chemicals. Terrible idea.
Cute as an ornament but using it for drinks, even if withstands the heat, is naive..

2013 San Jose Ford F-150: For the 2013 model-year, America's best-selling truck gets a new Limited trim this season. Ford Group Vice President for Product Development, Raj Nair, reports, "The F-150 Limited signifies the highest levels of design refinement, luxury and technology that we've ever offered in a Built Ford Tough pickup truck." Starting with the U.S. auto maker's Sync with MyFord Touch, this system comes standard on the Limited, along with navigation and SiriusXM Travel Link. Also standard for the 2013 San Jose Ford F-150 Limited model are items such as rain-sensing windshield wipers and high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps—making sure drivers can always find their way. This trim also features series-specific details on the exterior, like dimensional box-side lettering and unique 22-inch polished aluminum wheels. Inside, the Limited 2013 San Jose Ford F-150 comes with stylish red and black full-grain leather and genuine aluminum and piano-black accents.
2013 San Jose Ford Fusion: Leading off the trio of 2013 Fusion engines is a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder; developing 170 horsepower and 170 lb.-ft. of torque, this block is mated to a six-speed automatic transmission that sends the Fusion's power to the front wheels. Next up, the 1.6-liter, EcoBoost turbocharged I-4, which cranks 179 horsepower and 172 lb.-ft. of torque, is also paired to the six-speed automatic. Finally, the star of the 2013 San Jose Ford Fusion lineup is a 2.0-liter, EcoBoost turbocharged, four-cylinder engine generating 237 horsepower and 250 lb.-ft. of torque and is mated to a six-speed SelectShift automatic. This transmission will feed power to the front wheels or all four. Ford estimates the 1.6-liter on the 2013 San Jose Ford Fusion will earn 26 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway. This engine is also available with start-stop technology, which boosts fuel efficiency.

Totes TRX Manual Mini Trekker Umbrella 3 3
Terrible This umbrella is way overpriced, especially for the flimsy quality of it. I doubt it would make it through one good rain (not in the Northwest, anyway). You can get the same quality for far less elsewhere. It went back. May 13, 2014
Disappointed I expected a superior product from Totes and from TravelSmith. The umbrella is a good size and weight, but is difficult to open and a challenge to close and re-wrap. I am returning it. March 17, 2014
