As fans of horror movies, we all know one of the things that can elevate a film is the soundtrack. Early horror movies, like "Nosferatu", relied solely on music to capture the mood of pure terror, and from then on music has been an integral part of building the suspense we feed off. "Psycho" wouldn't be the same without the legendary string arrangement, nor would countless other horror classics. Music and horror are a perfect marriage, and we're happy to help announce a new project that melds these two arts.
It looks like we've finally found where the studios draw the line on Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring Asian horror remakes. Her latest, "Possession", is going straight to DVD. You can check that out on May 12th, if that's your kind of thing.
Looks like we spoke too soon on that "Reanimator" remake. Stuart Gordon was so distraught when he heard the news that he called up his long time friend (and purported remake producer) Brian Yuzna to see what was going on. It seems that Yuzna had no idea, and so all of this may be one big crazy misunderstanding. That "Reanimator" TV series though? Still happening. Nothing we can do about that one I guess.
Clive Barker would love to make a "Midnight Meat Train" trilogy, even though he's well aware that it probably won't happen. Lots of other info on his career and upcoming projects at the link.
Even though he was given an "Executive Producer" credit, George Romero has nothing to do with the "Crazies" remake currently filming. He does say though that he recently had a chance to read the script, and that it "has a decent shot of being a good movie".
A Chinese man had to have a pound of steel ball-bearings removed from his butt after a bomb went off under his chair. Links comes complete with X-Ray... you know, in case you ever wanted to see something like that.
With a lack of fancy things like "science", Italians in the 16th century were convinced that "Vampires" were responsible with the plague. Now, for possibly the first time, one of these "vampires" has been found in a mass grave. Not exactly a vampire, but an interesting story for those history buffs out there.
Pirate Radio station operators arrested in Florida? How cute! Or at least it would be, if their whole intention wasn't to spread information on their gang. Still, it all kind of reminds me of 1990's "Pump Up The Volume". Haven't these guys ever heard of the internet?
1997: Notorious B.I.G. (Christopher Wallace) killed in a drive-by outside the Soul Train Music Awards in Los Angeles. The murder has never been officially solved, though an ongoing feud with the now-defunct Death Row Records may have had something to do with it.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Neither Hyde Nor HairThere are many mysteries associated with the Grand Canyon, including how it was formed. One of the modern mysteries is the disappearance of Glen and Bessie Hyde, an adventurous couple who vanished while running the river on their honeymoon in 1928.
By Sally Benford
Grand Canyon On November 16, 1928, Emery Kolb opened the door of his photography studio, which sat — and still sits — on the literal edge of the Grand Canyon's South Rim, and met a young couple who had just hiked up the Bright Angel Trail from the Colorado River. Glen and Bessie Hyde were on their honeymoon, and they'd sought out the most famous river runner in the country to discuss their current adventure.
The Hydes talked about how they'd spent the past 26 days running the Colorado River in their homemade scow from Green River, Utah, to the area near Phantom Ranch. Impressed, Kolb spent the day with the couple, having lunch, showing them around the South Rim and photographing them. Glen and Bessie discussed the few problems they'd had on the first part of their trip, and how they intended to follow the river all the way to Needles, California, making Bessie the first woman to raft the entire length of the Canyon. They expected to seek their fortune by writing a book based on Bessie's journal notes and photographs, and by discussing their Grand Canyon experience on the lecture circuit.
On November 17, after their time with Emery Kolb, the couple left the South Rim and spent the next two days visiting Phantom Ranch and negotiating Horn Creek Rapid. On November 18, they stopped at Hermit Camp for lunch, after which they hiked a mile back to the river and cast off toward Hermit Rapid at Mile 95. It was the last time they'd ever be seen.
By December 12, when the couple hadn't reached their takeout point at Needles, Glen's father, R.C. Hyde, gathered a search party that included Emery and Ellsworth Kolb. On Christmas Day, the Hydes' scow, which was filled with their supplies and Bessie's journal, camera and rolls of film, was found floating in an eddy on the river just above Mile 237. The final entry in Bessie's journal read: "November 30, Ran 16 rapids today."
Although it's presumed that the Hydes died along the river, their disappearance remains a mystery.

Meghan's Sustainable Office Tips: Reuse Junk Mail
Although I am someone who is very concerned with environmental sustainability, there are certain unsustainable practices that are easy to fall prey to when you are working in an urban office space. I try to work on ways to make office life less wasteful and more resourceful. So I'm going to be posting about some of the small things that I like to do to in order to be more conscientious of resources & waste while at work.
Yes, you should recycle, recycle, recycle. But before you toss all that junk mail into the blue box, think about its possibilities! The envelopes and the backs of letter paper are pristine surfaces to write on. It takes just a few minutes for me cut up this pile of "junk" and transform it into note paper. Then I'm using it to its full potential before sending it off to be recycled!
It's also important to consider simply cutting down on the amount of junk mail your workplace receives. If you have a fax machine, get off those spam fax lists! It's worth taking a few moments each week or two to fax, email, or call in to subscribe from junk mail and junk faxes!
I'd love to hear what you all are doing as well! Please send me your tips and I'll post them all up here.
Exploring the Weekend Wilderness
Despite dedicating so much time to educating about our local environments and sharing people's sustainability stories, it still can be a challenge to carve out some time to enjoy the nature around me. It doesn't help when it's freezing cold and the sun sets before six, either! This past weekend, I managed to escape from urban life for a little while to the Virginia wilderness! Here are some photos from my adventure.
Learning New Things Related to Sustainable Living
GreenTreks Network has been lucky to have volunteer David Hecht on board since June 2012. Dave is working with GreenTreks Network as part of the GlaxoSmithKline Pulse Volunteer Program. Today, Dave is guest-blogging to share some of his recent experiences being in Philadelphia.
Over the years I have heard about the increase interest in the green infrastructure. We saw stories on television related to the greening of the Seattle and Portland, Oregon, areas. I am fortunate to volunteer through the GlaxoSmithKline Pulse program at GreenTreks Network Inc. They help tell stories that change the world. I have lived in Philadelphia over the last 3 months and have learned that this city is moving towards being a better sustainable city. Some private organizations have also been driven to this environmental goal. Over the last three weeks I have had a great opportunity to see two unique locations in the Philadelphia area. The first is at the Morris Arboretum and the second is the PECO office building in Center City Philadelphia. Both of the organizations have decided to work on having LEED-certified buildings.
The Morris Arboretum [featured in our Porous Pavement video] has a building that is Platinum-rated LEED Certified. Some of their buildings that impressed me were the green roofed storage/garage facilities. The two roofs grow different flora on them. The type flora grown is related to the depth of the soil. One roof is 2500 sq. ft with 4 inches of soil while the other is 3750 sq. ft with 8 inches of soil. Sedum is a typical growth since it is drought and temperature resistant.
A comparator roof is found on the 8th floor of the PECO building. This roof is much larger than the Morris roofs. It is 45,000 sq. ft of surface space with 4 inches thick with soil. It also has sedum and other flora growing on it.
The primary idea with having a roof with natural plant growth is stormwater management. The water that normally gets on roofs goes down the storm drain into our water supplies. Often there is waste or slit going in to the system along with the rain water. We know that we need to decrease the amount of runoff to help the waterways of our country.
With the videos that GreenTreks produces we help show stories like these to give others a positive educational experience.
For the PECO Green Roof fact sheet, click here. It's fascinating stuff!

On the Farm with Meghan
As some of you know, I spent the summer interning on an organic farm located in Central Pennsylvania within the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Learning about organic agriculture was a wonderful experience! I wanted to share some photos of my farming internship with you.
Now that I'm back in the GreenTreks office, I'd love to catch up with all of our partners and supporters. Send me a line and fill me in on your summer!
To learn more about the organic farm I interned on, visit the Village Acres Farm website.
Get on Your Bike and Do Some Good!
We've made it through the sweltering heat of summer (finally!) and now we've hit beautiful, warm-but-perfectly-cooler weather. I know us staffers here at GreenTreks are certainly welcoming it. Bike-commuting is much more enjoyable when you don't arrive as a puddle of sweat!
Coming up at the end of September, are a number of opportunities to enjoy a bicycle ride and do some good at the same time. First up on Saturday, September 22, 2012, is the Schuylkill River Trail Bike Tour: Rails and River Towns Ride. Bike along the Schuylkill River Trail, learn about the history of the Pennsylvania Railroad during a presentation by Bob Thomas, and, best of all, support the Schuylkill River Heritage Area. This is the first ride of this new bike tour series, and it sounds excellent for all levels of riders (choose from a 18-mile ride & walking tour, a 20-mile ride, or a 9-mile ride and guided tour). Learn more about the bike tour and register here.
The next day, on Sunday, September 23, 2012, the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture (PASA) is hosting Bike Fresh, Bike Local in Downingtown, PA. Proceeds from this ride benefit PASA's work for sustainable, family farms in Eastern Pennsylvania. Whether you choose the 25-, 50-, or 75-mile ride, you'll get to enjoy a lunch of local foods and enjoy a Victory Brewing Company craft beer. Plus, I'll be volunteering at the break station for the 75-mile riders, so stop by and say hi! Learn more and register here.

Bilateral relations between Switzerland and Austria
Relations are close and cover many areas beginning with human and cultural relations, cross-border cooperation as well as flourishing trade relations.
Relations between Switzerland and Austria are traditionally close, with frequent exchanges of visits at all levels. Both countries hold regular talks with Liechtenstein and Germany for the purpose of policy coordination. They also work together at the multilateral level, e.g. in the United Nations, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and the Council of Europe.
In accordance with a long standing tradition the first official visit by the Presidents and Foreign Ministers of Switzerland and Austria are to each other's capitals.
In 2012 the volume of trade amounted to CHF 13.9 billion. Switzerland has a regular trade deficit with Austria, which in 2011 amounted to CHF 1.3 billion.
Switzerland is one of the most important investors in Austria. The total amount of investments by Swiss firms was CHF 9.7bn at the end of 2011, with about 41,000 local employees. Since 2000 Austrian direct investments in the Confederation have increased significantly, amounting at the end of 2011 to CHF 68.1 billion. This has given jobs to 17,300 persons, mainly in the industrial sector.
Many Swiss professors teach at Austrian universities and many young Swiss pursue art studies in Austria. In 2010 there were 970 Austrians studying in Switzerland, and 871 Swiss studying in Austria.
Scholars and artists from Austria can apply for Swiss Government Excellence Scholarships to the State Secretariat for Education Research and Innovation (SERI). Various foundations and private institutions also offer scholarships to Austrian students.
In 2012 there were 14,795 Swiss citizens living in Austria.
The Confederation promotes the presence of Swiss artists in all areas of the Austrian cultural scene. The diplomatic representations and cultural institutes of both countries work closely together. There are frequent discussions of cultural affairs at the level of government. Contacts between Swiss and Austrian cultural operators have given a new dynamic to the Swiss cultural scene.
Switzerland gave official recognition to the Republic of Austria on 2.1.1945. Diplomatic representations were opened in the two following years.

TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. (AP) -- Authorities say pop star Madonna's brother needed nine stitches to his forehead after he resisted arrest in a public bathroom in northern Michigan.
The Traverse City Record-Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/10v57vC ) that police were called Sunday night when 56-year-old Anthony Ciccone refused to leave the bathroom at the Grand Traverse County Civic Center.
Police say an officer tried to arrest Ciccone on an outstanding warrant for trespass. He confronted the officer, who brought him to the ground. Ciccone's face hit the floor and he required stitches.
Police say Ciccone's blood-alcohol level was 0.40 percent. Under Michigan law, 0.08 percent is drunk.
No attorney is listed for Ciccone, who was arraigned on the warrant and jailed.
Madonna's publicist, Liz Rosenberg, declined to comment. Madonna is a Michigan native.

Nicola Trussardi
Nicola Trussardi (June 17, 1942 - April 14, 1999) was an Italian fashion designer and entrepreneur.
Trussardi was born in Bergamo, Lombardy.
A graduate in economics at the Catholic University of Milan, in 1970 he took over his family's glove-making business founded in 1910 by his grandfather Dante Trussardi, and turned it into a major company that helped contribute to the popularity of the made-in-Italy label throughout the world. He expanded Trussardi's product line beyond gloves to include luxury accessories, and in 1973 he created Trussardi's spiky greyhound logo. A few years later, Trussardi launched a line of leather jackets, the first step toward a ready-to-wear line which, by the 1980s, encompassed womenswear, menswear, sportswear and children's wear.
Trussardi's Fashion House has a remarkably wide range of design activities: it has designed interiors for the airline company Alitalia, cars for Alfa Romeo, telephones, and even helicopters. In 1988, it outfitted the Italian athletes competing in the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, Korea.
Trussardi was killed when he lost control of his Mercedes, on Tangenziale Est of Milan and hit a lamp post in the early hours of the 13th of April, 1999; he died the following day in Milan.
His son Francesco died four years later in the crash of his Ferrari.[1] He was 29.
Trussardi has undertaken many other initiatives, including the creation of the Palatrussardi in Milan, which has hosted a number of pop and rock concerts, including that of Frank Sinatra, Liza Minnelli, and Sammy Davis, Jr.. Other projects included a specially fitted-out Mini, produced by Innocenti.
The Nicola Trussardi Foundation is a no profit institution for the promotion of contemporary art and culture. Under the direction of president Beatrice Trussardi. Since 2003 the Foundation has decided to concentrate its resources on the realization of contemporary art events in the public spaces of the city of Milano.

How do I get contact lenses?
Contact lenses are prescribed by an eye care professional. This includes either an ophthalmologist (an M.D.), an optometrist (an O.D.), or a dispensing optician with special training in contact lens prescribing. Often, these professionals work together under one roof. Before prescribing contact lenses for you, your eye care professional will conduct a thorough examination. This exam will evaluate your eye health and assess your vision correction needs and then determine a host of factors: the type of lens, size and lens material, and the wear and replacement schedules that are best for you.
Where do I get contact lenses?
Wherever you obtain contact lenses, it's vital that you follow the recommendation of your eye care professional when it comes to lens care and wearing and replacement schedules.

A former Gibson County custodian, accused of making meth on school property, is looking to make a plea deal.
That's according to our media partner, the Princeton Daily Clarion.
The proposal for Michael C. Shafer, of Oakland City, reduces a Class A felony charge of making meth within 1,000 feet of a school to a Class B felony and drops charges of possession of meth, precursors and dumping controlled substance waste.
Police discovered remnants of a one pot meth lab about a year ago at Wood Memorial High School.
The judge says he'll take the plea under advisement.
A sentencing hearing for Shafer is scheduled for Tuesday, February 26.

Brian Burke's busy day continued just as the window of the NHL Trade deadline slammed shut as the Maple Leafs acquired goaltender Olaf Kolzig, defencemen Jamie Heward and Andy Rogers and a fourth-round pick in 2009 in exchange for a prospect Richard Petiot.
The 4th round pick the Leafs acquired in the deal is the pick the Lightning received in the Jussi Jokinen trade with Carolina.
The 26-year old Petiot has three goals, 14 assists in 45 games with Toronto Marlies of the AHL this season
The 38-year old Kolzig, who is sidelined for the remainder of the season with an arm injury, will become an unrestricted free agent this summer. He played only eight games this season with the Lightning, posting a 2-4-1 record with an .898 save percentage.
Heward has two assists in 13 games this season. He is also sidelined indefinitely with a concussion.
Rogers has spent the entire season with Norfolk of the AHL.

Bike Setup: Dh
Date Reviewed: November 27, 2009
Strengths: V good clip mech. Like the adjustable release tension and float.
Weaknesses: Platform no-where near as much use as I'd hoped. And so, they are heavier than you need - cos if the platform's no use then you could have lighter pedals. You are also constrained to quite a narrow stance, so if you like to mash with your feet a little wider apart...
Seals mean they don't spin as free as cheaper non-sealed pedals. Anything that steals more energy than needed, could be better. Seals were unlubed from factory. If I didn't notice and lube them, they'd have worn away first ride. They were sticking, bunching themselves up as the pedal rotated and as that shortened their length, they were sucking themselves inside the pedal and staying there all twisted up. Grease thinned with a drop of syn oil is what you need.
Bottom Line:
Now, that aside, these are nice clip-in pedals, but if the platform doesn't do enough then it's just extra weight and I'd be better of in terms of weight and cash with the Atac Aliums.
See weaknesses section for potential issue w seals.
So. They are not bad at all. But not good enough either.
I think someone should sell a pedal with recessed mech and a cleat that's like a 'platform cleat' ie longer top to bottom so it still reaches the clips. But, when you ride the pedal with normal shoes, it's EXACTLY like a normal pedal. I don't care if I've got bigger lumps on the underside of my MTB shoes, they're already 5h1t for walking in and I wouldn't do it anyway cos it wears the cleats out fast! The MTB shoes are for biking. I'd rather have pedals that do both jobs well. That's less work than changing pedals (and getting anti-seize everywhere and cleaning it up). It's also better to have a bike that does everything how you want it to. Everyone has a load of different shoes already! Just need a pedal that has a good clip-in mech AND works as well as a real platform with normal shoes. Can't believe it doesn't exist as I could design it myself in 10mins. But I can't seem to find it on the market.
Overall verdict. Great mechanism, great idea, mediocre implimentation of that idea and as a result, pedals heavier and less useful than they should be and therefore not as good value as I'd hoped. Fair?

They're almost all silver now, from all the bashing, grinding, and crap that I've put these pedals through. Still spinning, still going strong. I've had novices ride them with their regular shoes and they had no problems, then the next day I could just hop on and ride with my own cleated shoes and not have to swap pedals.

Date Reviewed: November 16, 2008
Strengths: I absolutely love these TIME Z pedals. The wide platform provides extreme stability over my previous Shimano SPD M5xx series pedals. I don't get hot spots on my feet and I feel much more comfortable. Like everyone else says, clipping in/out is extremely easy. I'd recommend learning with these pedals over the SPDs.
The main benefit of these pedals IMO is the large platform. On numerous occasions, in rocky/technical sections where I need to dab (or else die) I can hop my foot back onto the pedal and get enough crab to clean a section, instead of slipping off the pedal like with an SPD and eating $$$t.

Strengths: Awesome pedal, solid, strong construction
Weaknesses: Heavy, no adjustments
Bottom Line:
A couple of complaints though (with nothing to compare them to), I have no fine adjustment. I need to be able to unclip in a crash (which I didn't several times) like during skiing, you want to separate from the equipment. It's too heavy, I'd pay a lot more for Lightweight version of these, maybe titanium or carbon in a platform.
It would be interesting to have a version where you can only clip in on one side. Because of my crashes in the past I do now unclip in certain situations just in case i don't make it. Or just have an escape adjustment...
Overall these pedals are great. However, because of the missing escape feature the overall rating doesn't deserve outstanding.

The War of the Rebellion: A Compilation of the Official Records of the Union and Confederate Armies
At about 10 a. m. the brigade, being under a heavy enfilanding fire from the enemy's batteries, was ordered to fall back in good order. The enemy were in large numbers, coming toward us through the trench, under cover, but below the line of fire of their artillery, and were strongly pressing the most advanced regiments with a galling fire of musketry, throwing them somewhat in disorder. The One hundred and second being within rifle-shot, left the trenches and formed at right angles to it, and poured volleys of musketry into the advancing rebels, which halted them, giving these regiments time to withdraw. After they had passed, rebels came in on both sides, left and right, saying we were surrounded and must surrender, but instead of doing so we disarmed 2 commissioned officers, 1 flag-sergeant, and 20 privates, taking the flag, and bringing our prisoners safe to the rear. The battle-flag and prisoners were from the Twelfth Georgia Volunteers.

EPA Final Rule on Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
EPA has published a final rule containing decisions made when it granted reconsideration in December 2011 of its March 2011 final rule, "Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources and Emissions Guidelines for Existing Sources: Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration Units." EPA has denied requests for reconsideration of all issues raised in the petitions. This final rule sets effective dates for the standards and makes technical corrections to clarify definitions, references, applicability and compliance issues. EPA is also issuing final amendments to regulations codified by the Non-Hazardous Secondary Materials rule promulgated March 2011 to provide standards and procedures for identifying whether non-hazardous secondary materials are solid waste under RCRA when used as fuels or ingredients in combustion units.

is actually a photo print of a screenshot taken from a golf simulation,

Is this farewell to the boondocks? Little Big Town appear to be enjoying the high life as Tornado, its newest collection of tunes, settles in for its fifth consecutive week at the pinnacle of Billboard's country albums chart.
By Nielsen SoundScan's current calculation, Tornado has sold more than 251,000 units.
The stats are comforting for Taylor Swift, as well. Her emphatic "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" occupies the No. 1 country song spot for the second week.
We count six new albums: Aaron Watson's Real Good Time (bowing in at No. 9), Kenny Rogers' Amazing Grace (No. 57), Wanda Jackson's Unfinished Business (No. 61), Tim O'Brien and Darrell Scott's Live: We're Usually a Lot Better Than This (No. 64), Hank Williams' The Lost Concert (No. 66) and Playlist: The Very Best of Alan Jackson (No. 71).
There are four freshmen songs: Sam Palladio and Clare Bowen's "If I Didn't Know Better" (No. 29), Uncle Kracker's "Nobody's Sad on a Saturday Night" (No. 42), Hayden Panettiere's "Love Like Mine" (No. 43) and

The way charter schools operate is guided by the principles set forth in each state's charter legislation. This section provides information about charter law in Illinois.
You can see the current Illinois Charter School law on the Illinois General Assembly website. In addition to the law, review the Charter School Rules which lay out procedures and timelines for school district reporting, charter school applicant appeals and certification of approved charter applications to the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE). You may also visit ISBE's website for related legislation, rules and policy.
In 1996, the Illinois Legislature passed a law allowing the creation of charter schools. Key aspects of the charter law include the following provisions:
General Provisions
- The number of charter schools that can be created is limited to 75 in Chicago (5 of which are dedicated to drop out recovery schools) and 45 outside of Chicago.
- Local school boards authorize charter public schools. To open a new school, a charter school design team must submit a charter proposal to the local school board for approval.
- Charter school applications denied by the local school board can be appealed to the State Board of Education; if the State Board reverses the local school board's decision and grants the charter, the State Board will directly oversee the charter.
- A charter may be granted for a period not less than five and not more than ten school years; a charter may be renewed in incremental periods not to exceed five school years.
Charter school teachers either should be certified or possess the following qualifications:
- a bachelor's degree
- employment for at least five years in a relevant field
- passing a required basic skills test and subject area test
- demonstrating continuing evidence of "professional growth."
Chicago only:
- 75% of all teachers in a charter school must be state certified. A charter school has 3 years from the date it opens to meet that requirement.
- Current district teachers can take a leave of absence of up to five years to teach at a charter school, and their service status and retirement benefits will not be affected.
Charters negotiate the amount of funding they receive with their local board of education. This amount is between 75% and 125% of the district's per capita student tuition. Charter schools are also allowed to apply for any State Board grant that is available for school districts.

Essential Oil Advice?
Good evening, Bowls of Cherries!
Reading the most recent newsletter from Shirley, it encouraged me to add a few new essential oils to my rotation. She recommended peppermint, sweet orange, ylang ylang to name a few. Admittedly, I regularly use peppermint for a morning essential oil. But today at the local whole foods, I added some sweet orange and ylang ylang. Once home, I whipped up a few batches of conditioning oils (I mix essential oils with sesame oil for an alternative body lotion) and came up with the following: (1) morning essential oil of peppermint and sweet orange; (2) evening essential oil of lavender (for sleep) and a few drops of eucalyptus (to ease sore muscles); (3) the Shirley equinox mix of peppermint, sweet orange, and ylang ylang; and (4) a standard of mine--good ol' nag champa. I couldn't wait to try it out, the "Shirley mix" was, indeed, divine--invigorating yet relaxing enough to use for the evening.
I am curious to know about any "recipes" you all have for essential oil mixes. Also, if any of you have any recommended reading material on this subject, please share! My curiosity is already piqued!
Namaste from the Midwest....

Via Adrienne Lavador-Berman at the Boston Globe
I rode the rails with you on Saturday night. I'm glad it was packed, and I'm glad everyone was getting home safe, but hey I have an idea. Next time, please don't yell at the conductor who is driving your sloppy drunk ass home at 2 AM for sending out single car trains. It's so clearly not her job to determine how many trains there are that I wish I could figure out a way to get you kicked out of BU, since you're obviously incapable of comprehending complex thought.
Other than that, good job everyone. Keep packing these weekend trains so that we can have them forever. How did you get home before?

Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is closing 54 schools
Barbara Byrd Bennett Chief Executive of CPS announced that 54 schools will be closed at the end of the school year because the system has a 1 billion dollar deficit in a story carried by NBC News. Ms Bennett stated " the district is 20 percent under capacity — almost 100,000 students — leaving many schools half-empty. The district will save $500 million to $800 million for each school that is closed, she has said in community forums and news interviews leading up to Thursday's announcement."
I am no math genius but if I multiply 500 Million by 54 schools I get 27 Billion and if by the high estimate of 800 Million I get 43 billion. That would suggest a over kill to me. Further I could not find a decrease in Chicago population ...
Where did these kids go to? Is closing 54 schools really the answer? What are the options?
Since this is happening in many large cities .... In order to be better informed and better prepared what would you suggest to fix the existing problems?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Mar 25 2013: I found the following statement which may serve as an explaination:
The decline came as new condominium towers have risen along Chicago's skyline. Those buildings often are filled by singles and retirement-age couples who no longer have children at home, resulting in smaller households than the families who move out of the city to find cheaper housing and jobs,
I do, however, have a problem in the article. School budgets are submitted yearly. So did 100,000 kids move out of town last year in order to cause a one billion dollar deficit and a 20% capacity rate drop?
I tend to think there is a lot more to this story and the politics of both sides are seeking favorable public opinion which is common with political issues.
My opinion .... it is a wonder that anything is ever resolved when the facts are seldom evident or available.
Thanks for the reply. Bob.
Mar 26 2013: We fund schools based on seat time. If a student skips, transfers, or is out on sick leave then money is subtracted by the number of hours the student was not there in the seat. As you say if the funding reaches a specific level then a "non" core course may be dropped. As an example say the first on the drop priority list was Art then all Art classes would be rescheduled to other courses and the teacher would be laid off in accordance with the terms set forth in their contract. Each teacher is told where they are on the "bubble".
I am certain that mismanagement is a part of most "business" issues ... however I also believe that the budget cuts at the federal level are political and that they are designed for blame in future elections. It would be easy to select thousands of ineffective programs for elimination prior to reducing education funding. Even programs that have not went into effect could lose funding until funds become available. Why education?
Thanks for the response. Bob.

Migraines & Headaches Health Center
Why You Still Get Headaches
6. You're Too Stressed Out to Exercise
Anxiety plus a lack of activity is a double whammy for your poor aching brain. "Exercise reduces stress, helps you sleep, and boosts endorphins — brain chemicals that are natural painkillers," says Dr. Bernstein.
Real pain relief: Aim for 30 to 45 minutes of brisk physical activity three to four days a week, Dr. Buchholz suggests. In Swedish research, 26 migraineurs who rode exercise bikes three times a week for 12 weeks reported that their headaches became less frequent and less intense. If exercise tends to bring on pain, try taking ibuprofen or naproxen 30 to 60 minutes beforehand, Dr. Buchholz suggests. Also, skip activities that make your head bob up and down, such as running on a treadmill. (Switch to an elliptical trainer or exercise bike.) Drink water before, during, and after your workout, warm up gradually, and exercise in a cool environment.
7. Your Sleep Schedule Is Wacky
In a 2006 survey conducted by the National Headache Foundation, 79 percent of headache sufferers admitted they got hit when they overslept. But 66 percent said too little sleep was also a trigger. And naps can be counterproductive; although they may dull the pain of a tension headache, they lead to insomnia, which can set off a new headache the next day.
Real pain relief: "Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on vacation," Dr. Bernstein suggests. "And get enough sleep — seven to eight hours each night." In one University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill study of 43 women with daily or near-daily migraines, those who improved their sleep habits — including adopting a strict eight-hours-a-night sleep schedule — got migraines 29 percent less often and found pain intensity dropped 40 percent.
8. You Skip Pain-Prevention Drugs
These pharmaceuticals — which include anti-seizure meds, tricyclic antidepressants, and certain high-blood-pressure drugs — could cut your risk for future migraines up to 50 percent, and may also benefit some other headache sufferers. But chances are, your doctor hasn't recommended them. In one 2007 study of 162,576 Americans, researchers found 39 percent of migraine patients were candidates for pain preventers, but just 12 percent were using them.
Real pain relief: If lifestyle changes haven't helped, ask your doctor about preventive meds. It takes patience to find the right one, but if you've tried several and still haven't gotten relief, see a headache specialist or neurologist, advises Dr. Peterson.
Natural Remedies That Work
Biofeedback and cognitive behavioral therapy are both highly effective pain preventers, studies show. Certain complementary approaches also stand up to research:
- Butterbur: A study of 245 migraine sufferers, led by a researcher from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, found 68 percent of those who took 75 milligrams of a butterbur product twice a day cut their migraines by at least half. The plant has anti-inflammatory compounds, which may be why it quells head pain. But it also contains toxic chemicals called pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), so be sure to use only a PA-free product. In the study, patients took Petadolex.
- Yoga: In one Indian study of 72 migraineurs, researchers found that sufferers who performed routines that included yoga and who did breathing exercises had significantly fewer — and less painful — migraines.
- Acupuncture: Patients who received up to 12 acupuncture treatments in three months needed less pain medication, had 22 fewer head-pain days per year, and went to the doctor 25 percent less often, a multicenter study of 410 headache sufferers reported.
- Acupressure: In recent Taiwanese research comparing a month of acupressure treatments with muscle-relaxing drugs, the hands-on therapy significantly beat the pills at relieving chronic headaches. To try it yourself: Place your thumbs on the two points on either side of your vertebrae at the nape of your neck (just below your skull). Gently knead for one to two minutes.

"I was torn trying to decide between all the different designs. I finally settled on this one in the darker tones for a fall wedding. They are absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend getting the pearlized feature. It gives it that extra bit of "fancy" for being a more informal invitation. The designer even helped me add my parent's names to this invitation when I thought there wouldn't be any room."
"I fell in the love with the design when I saw it online, and after receiving a sample - I knew it was the one I wanted! The paper is very elegant and feels expensive! I love this romantic autumn card!"
"We ordered a sample with the blue trees and red writing. We liked it, but decided to order our invites with the brown writing. It looks so much better that way! We are having a winter wedding, so we thought the blue tree looks like it was covered in ice and the brown is more natural looking than the red writing."
"Loved the fall branch pattern simplicity and elegance. Used Azalea color for wedding invitations, response and enclosure cards. Used majestic and charcoal for menu and thank you cards to coordinate with fall wedding reception plum colors. Very pleased with results!"
"I changed the layout and wording of the invite and the changes were made without any issues. I was provided with a proof once the changes were made to ensure I was happy before the invites were printed. I cannot be happier with the end result! Thanks so much wedding paper divas!!!!"
