Sara Evans prides herself on being very organized and keeping everything in its right place at her Birmingham home. Unfortunately, her daughters don't always follow their mom's example.
Sara tells ABC News Radio, "My girls are pretty slobby. I'm on them constantly to keep their room clean. I'm like, 'You're a young woman. I'm not going to let you be just a slob just with clothes everywhere.'"
Though her girls may not appreciate it now, Sara knows her daughters will benefit from these lessons in the long run.
She explains, "I'm like, 'You will cook for your husband and your family. You will keep a neat home. You will do these things as a woman!' I mean, why would you not?"
Sara's husband, Jay Barker , isn't the most organized guy in the world either.
"He's a typical guy in the sense that he will leave, and then pretty much every time he leaves, he has to come back and grab something," Sara says. "I think most men do that."
For now, Sara is mostly concerned with launching her new album, Slow Me Down . That album comes out next week featuring the hit title track.

Location: Tick and Biting Fly Research
2007 Annual Report
2. Develop rapid, accurate and sensitive diagnostic protocols employing molecular probes or best available technology based upon information on resistance mechanisms to detect resistant genotypes and determine resistance status in tick populations.
3. Determine the reliability, sensitivity, and utility of molecular and biochemical methods for the diagnosis of acaricide resistance in populations of B. microplus to multiple chemical groups of acaricides.
4. Use molecular and biochemical assays for resistance diagnosis in assessments of the fitness and mode of inheritance in organophosphate (OP), pyrethroid (P), and formamidine (F) resistance in B. microplus.
Developed rapid assay to monitor mutations in octopamine receptor gene: Octopamine receptor is the major site of action of a class of pesticides known as formamidines. Mutation in this receptor is suspected to be the primary mechanism of resistance to these pesticides. Scientists at the Knipling-Bushland US Livestock Insects Research Laboratory have developed a rapid assay based on molecular biology to monitor the octopamine receptor gene. This rapid assay provides a necessary tool for the study of the mode of formamidine pesticide resistance in the southern cattle tick. It also can be used to monitor the prevalence of the octopamine receptor mutation in field populations of the cattle tick which is a reflection of the extent of pesticide resistance. (NP104; Component 2, Detection and Surveillance Technology; Goal 2.1).
Discovery of the synergistic effect of permethrin and amitraz mixtures: Scientists at the Knipling-Bushland US Livestock Insects Research Laboratory have found synergism between permethrin and amitraz against the southern cattle tick, and this is the first report of such synergism in ticks. Field populations of the cattle tick have developed very strong resistance to permethrin and moderate to strong resistance to amitraz. These findings provide a new way to control resistant ticks with existing pesticides that would have otherwise been abandoned. Pesticide mixtures had not been explored to control the southern cattle tick. This work not only demonstrates the enhanced toxicity of these mixtures to tick larvae in laboratory bioassays, but also the enhanced efficacy against pyrethroid-resistant ticks. (NP104; Component 2, Detection and Surveillance Technology; Goal 2.1).
Invalidation of bioassay: Recently, adult immersion tests have been modified to greatly speed the detection of resistance. A study was designed to independently evaluate the reliability of these modifications in Australia and the United States. Scientists at the Cattle Fever Tick Research Laboratory found that the modified techniques were not a reliable predictor of resistance and should not be used. Unfortunately, the modified test is currently used extensively in Mexico by the pharmaceutical industry, and it is impossible to make informed tick management decisions based on faulty data. This leads to improper treatment of cattle for tick control and quickens the pace of resistance development in Mexico. A reversion to the proper techniques should lead to better management decisions in Mexico and in turn slow the development of resistance. This will reduce the development of resistance in Mexican cattle ticks and will reduce the threat that resistant ticks pose to the Cattle Fever Tick Eradication Program in the United States. (NP104; Component 2, Detection and Surveillance Technology; Goal 2.1).
Selection of bioassay for amitraz resistance: Recently, three bioassay techniques were developed for the determination of amitraz susceptibility in the southern cattle tick. Scientists at the Cattle Fever Tick Research Laboratory led a study to compare these techniques and determined which were adequate for the various important studies needed to further the study of amitraz resistance in the cattle tick. Additionally, the scientists demonstrated various techniques that will greatly enhance the accuracy of the lethal concentration estimates generated by statistical analysis. (NP104; Component 2, Detection and Surveillance Technology; Goal 2.1).

I'd have taken a better shot… but it was pretty much impossible to get another shot off without some interruption.
Not much time for taking pics today but still managed to get a couple shots off.
Working on getting more shirts with a decent collar. Suit approved by the Hongdae makgeolli guy.
Different view; went with a bit more flair today.
I like the buttoning point on this suit the best.
More Uniqlo socks.
First day of not wearing a suit to work.
Another new uniqlo sock purchase from a few days ago.
Hotter day today so going with more linen.
Difference an action shot makes.
Picked up a new shirt from Uniqlo (less than $10). Can't see it in the pic but the trousers have an interesting pattern and the blazer is made from slubby linen. Shirt is striped.
The standard "boss" pose.

From Lindbergh Field to San Diego International Airport
In 1927, Charles A. Lindbergh electrified the world when
he made San Diego the starting point for the first-ever solo, nonstop transatlantic
flight. In his Spirit of St. Louis, Lindbergh took off from Dutch Flat
bound for St. Louis, New York and Paris. Lindbergh later agreed to lend
his name to a proposed new airport: San Diego Municipal Airport - Lindbergh Field.
Early aviation supporters saw their efforts rise from the mud when construction
began on the long anticipated municipal airport. A cast of public and private agencies,
military officers, politicians, philanthropists, and engineers worked tirelessly
to build upon the muddy ground that gave birth to San Diego International Airport
on its Dedication Day, August 16, 1928.
On June 1, 1930, the San Diego-Los Angeles airmail route was initiated, becoming
the airport's major selling point for local government. At 5 p.m. sharp, the
first airmail plane left the only building at the airport and raced down the runway,
marking the beginning of a new era for San Diego.
At the outbreak of World War II, and as San Diego's population boomed, the
military transformed San Diego International Airport into a modern aviation transportation
center. The U.S. Army Air Corps took over the airport in 1942, and Army engineers
improved the existing runways to accommodate the heavy bombers churned out by San
Diego's aircraft manufacturers during World War II.
The 8,750-foot "mega-runway" built to accommodate World War II-era long-range
bombers made San Diego International Airport "jet-ready" long before United
Airlines became the first airline to offer pure jet service in September 1960. American
Airlines followed with their "Jet Ace" scheduled service to Dallas/Fort
Worth a few weeks later. San Diego had entered the Jet Age.
Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, San Diego International Airport is
the nation's busiest single runway commercial airport.
San Diego International Airport's Historical Timeline
The first daily-scheduled, year-round air passenger service was inaugurated
by Ryan Airlines with service between San Diego and Los Angeles.
May 10, 1927
Charles A. Lindbergh took off from Dutch Flat in San Diego (the current
site of the Midway Post Office and just north of today's airport) bound for St.
Louis, New York and Paris, on the first solo, non-stop transatlantic flight.
Aug 16, 1928
The San Diego airfield opened on Pacific Highway and was dedicated in honor
of Charles A. Lindbergh. It was the first federally certified airfield that could
serve all plane types, including seaplanes, earning it the first ever AAA rating
for an airport.
San Diego Municipal Airport was made a permanent international airport
of entry by the U.S. Treasury Department, establishing the airport as San Diego
International Airport.
The Airport's current runway was constructed.
Dec 18, 1962
The San Diego Unified Port District was created when the State Legislature
approved Senate Bill 41, which was certified by the County Board of Supervisors.
District purview included ownership and operation of the airport.
March 5, 1967
The new East Terminal (now Terminal 1) opened for business.
Jan 5, 1976
San Diego International Airport invoked a nighttime flight restriction
for airlines flying in and out of the Airport. This action was believed to be the
first formal action of its kind at a major commercial airport within the continental
United States.
July 11, 1979
A new $15 million West Terminal addition (now Terminal 2) was opened. (Dedicated
April 18, 1979)
Jan 1982
Southwest Airlines began service at the airport offering six round-trip
San Diego-Phoenix flights a day.
Oct 30, 1983
United Airlines began offering daily flights from San Diego to Honolulu,
the first such regularly scheduled service to Hawaii.
Nov 8, 1995
Airport officials broke ground to initiate the West Terminal expansion,
a highlight of the $232 million airport upgrade to meet passenger demand into the
next century.
July 23, 1996
The Commuter Terminal opened at San Diego International Airport.
The installation of 16 public art works at San Diego International Airport's
West Terminal addition and Commuter Terminal was approved.
Jan 7, 1998
A 300,000 square-foot expansion of Terminal 2 opened for passenger traffic. The
$232 million airport improvement program was completed and the Airport Master Plan
was launched.
Oct 14, 2001
Assembly Bill 93 established the San Diego County Regional Airport Authority Act,
which created the Authority as a local entity of regional government to manage the
day-to-day operations of San Diego International Airport and address the region's
long-term air transportation needs.The legislation mandated three main responsibilities
for the Authority:
Jan 1, 2002
The new Authority began operation under an interim Authority Board.
Sept 27, 2002
Governor Davis signed Senate Bill 1896 into law, which amended Assembly Bill 93 regarding
the selection and appointment of Authority Board members. (The Senate passed the
bill on August 30, 2002.)
Dec 16, 2002
The first meeting of the new permanent Authority Board was held after the installation
Jan 1, 2003
Ownership and operations of San Diego International Airport was transferrred to
the Authority from the San Diego Unified Port District as required by the Airport
Authority Act.
July 8, 2009
The Airport Authority breaks ground on an expansion of Terminal 2 West. The Green
Build—a name that reflects both the Authority's sustainability commitments and its
ability to bring "greenbacks" to the regional economy—is a $1 billion project, the
largest in airport history.
August 13, 2013
The Green Build expansion at San Diego International Airport opens to passengers. Highlights include:

A faulty bathroom fan was the cause of an electrical fire that raced through a Salt Lake City apartment complex Saturday morning.
Six residents were evacuated but no injuries were reported, said Salt Lake City Fire spokesman Jasen Asay.

|Post a Comment
The fire at 2625 E. Stringham Ave. (2280 South) started about 2:25 a.m. in a pipe behind a bathroom wall and damaged two of the apartments. A third unit was damaged when firefighters forced their way in.
"One of the residents heard a crackling noise and went into the bathroom and saw flames," Asay said.
The residents were relocated through help from the American Red Cross. It is unknown if and when they can return to their homes. Officials did not know the dollar amount of the damage to the apartments.

About 70 Arlington County cab drivers parked their taxis during lunchtime Tuesday to call attention to their unhappiness over working conditions.
There are now 787 licensed taxicabs serving the 26 square miles of Arlington County, Va. Around noon, about 70 of the drivers parked their cabs at the Clarendon Metro station, and marched around the business district there to let people know they are unhappy.
Drivers in Arlington say they have a hard time making a living. Here is a quick look at their economics: Drivers who rent cabs pay about $90 a day to rent the vehicles. On average, they spend about $40 for gas. So they start their shift about $130 in the hole.
When customers pay by credit card, the drivers lose three percent, and they say tips average only about $2 a ride.
Even drivers who own their own cabs have to pay $200 weekly fees to the companies who own the "certificates" needed to operate. For that, the cabbies get "dispatch" business, but sometimes they don't get much of it.
Here's part of our interview with Abdellah Ouazzani, an Arlington cabbie:
FOX 5: "How many [dispatch calls] did you get yesterday?"
Quazzani: "Zero."
FOX 5: "How about last Friday? How many dispatch calls did you get last Friday?
Quazzani: "Maybe one or two."
FOX 5: "And, is that normal? Is that typical?"
Quazzani: "That's the normal thing, yes."
Drivers also say they cannot move from one cab company to another.
"We cannot even mention it," said taxi operator Daniel H. Mariam. "If we mention it, we are in trouble."
To further demonstrate their concerns, the Arlington cabbies drove very slowly around the Clarendon area.
We asked Arlington Board Chairman Walter Tejada (D) about some of the drivers' concerns, including the certificates going to a limited number of companies, which drivers say makes switching jobs difficult.
When we told him that drivers say that makes it almost impossible for them to switch from one company to another and they feel trapped, Tejada responded, "Well, there are pros and cons of that. And I think that's part of the conversation we need to engage in -- deeper than we have in the past. And see what kind of adjustments [for] the drivers that we can do, and, at the same time, protect the integrities of the companies."
The cab drivers want a public hearing to air their concerns. Chairman Tejada said that probably won't happen until next year, when the county reviews its taxicab ordinances.
A spokesman for Red Top, the biggest cab company in Arlington, declined an on-camera interview. But he reminded us (over the phone) that the dispatching service provided by the companies allows customers to get taxi service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

10 Colors to Complement Yellow

1945: The Canadian Preparatory Committee and PICAO into action
Montreal – Postcard showing the Dominion Square Building
The Executive Committee of the Chicago Conference recommended that the seat of the provisional ICAO be located in Canada, taking into consideration the war circumstances in Europe and the wish to start its work rapidly; Canada was also a logical choice as an important aviation nation and one with strong links with Europe. However, the permanent seat of the Organization would be determined at the final meeting of the Interim Assembly of the Provisional ICAO.
On 6 June 1945, the required number of twenty-six nations had adhered to the Interim Agreement on International Civil Aviation, so that the Provisional ICAO (PICAO) could come into being, as per Article 1 of the latter Agreement. The host country, Canada, set up on 22 June 1945 a working group, called the Canadian Preparatory Committee (CPC), for the purpose of studying the intended functions of PICAO, planning the organization that would be required to carry out these functions, and formulating the procedures that would necessarily lead to the commencement of PICAO's activities; Wing Commander P.A, Cumyn of the Canadian Cabinet Secretariat was nominated Chairman of the CPC. Over a period of six weeks (from 27 June until 15 August 1945), the CPC held 18 meetings in Montreal, Ottawa and Washington, D.C.; a small secretariat of twenty-five staff had been seconded from the Canadian Government and was located in the Dominion Square Building.
Dr. Edward Warner
In June 1945, Dr. Edward Warner, Vive-Chairman of the US Civil Aeronautics Board and Member of the US Delegation to the Chicago Conference, assisted the Canadian Preparatory Committee to make the necessary arrangements for the first Interim Council of PICAO. Dr. Albert Roper, long-time Secretary General of the International Commission on Air Navigation (ICAN) had been invited for consultation and advice; he arrived in Montreal early in July.
While war hostilities essentially ended on the day before, the first session of the Interim Council met on 15 August 1945 at 14:30 in the Rose Room of the Windsor Hotel, adjacent to Dominion Square, and began PICAO's activities. Among the twenty country-members of the Council invited, Brazil and Mexico could not arrive on time for the opening meeting. Canada's Minister of Reconstruction C.D. Howe welcomed the Interim Council and noted that this was "the first post-war organization of the United Nations to get under way...".
On 17 August 1945 during the third meeting of the opening session of the Interim Council, Dr. Warner was elected the first President of the Council of PICAO and then continued as President of the ICAO Council until his retirement on 18 April 1957. Dr. Roper became Secretary General. Both had played major roles at the Chicago Conference.

Plans are under way and participation is being sought for the annual Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. celebration and parade.
"Each year, the nation pauses to commemorate the life and legacy of an international hero, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.," said Councilwoman Fayrine A. Kennon-Gilbert, Martin Luther King, Jr. celebration committee chairperson.
"All citizens of Minden, black and white, all denominations, faith-based organizations, civic and social groups and businesses are invited and encouraged to participate and re-commit our community to the ideals of Dr. King."
While the official holiday for this celebration is the third Monday in January each year, several events span three days leading up to the annual MLK Parade in Minden.
"This year will mark our 26th annual observance in Minden," Kennon-Gilbert said. "We want this milestone celebration to be memorable and have chosen 'Living United: One Dream, One Purpose' as our theme for the 2013 MLK celebration."
The activity line-up for the MLK celebration is as follows:
Saturday, January 19 – A 'Three on Three' Basketball Tournament will take place at the Minden Recreational Complex at 1 p.m., followed by the Oratorical Contest at 5 p.m. at the Minden Civic Center.
Sunday, January 20 – A Commemorative Service will be held at the Minden Civic Center at 3 p.m., where MLK Youth Leadership Awards will be presented.
Monday, January 21 – The Minister's Ecumenical March will take off at 8 a.m. on MLK Drive, followed by the MLK Parade, which rolls at 10 a.m. in downtown Minden.
A competition for the parade's best decorated float, best band performance and most spirited group/organization will be awarded immediately after the parade at the Minden Civic Center along with the Youth Rally, Essay and Poster Contest winners.
MLK Celebration commemorative tee-shirts and sweatshirts are available.
For information and entry forms for MLK celebration activities, contact Councilwoman Kennon-Gilbert at 377-0934 or 377-2902.

We are the Champions
I'm on the fence about Champions Online, but given the limited scope of the beta test, that's to be expected. I cannot talk about a lot of stuff in the game, but I can focus on one thing that the game does right: travel powers. In City of Heroes, you have to wait until level ten to get a travel power. Now this makes things difficult if you have a particular theme in mind; if you want to create a character like The Flash or The Hulk or Superman, then you have to wait to give them what most folks would be considered a trademark, defining, and basic power. After all, what is a quickster without super speed, or a powerful monster without a super jump or a birdman without flight? A bad experience.
Instead of making you wait, Champions Online gives you access to that power by the time you leave the tutorial in Millennium city. At level five, you get access to one travel power, a super stat and a new power from whatever you chose at the beginning of the game. Therefore, when you get out there into the game world, you feel like the character you imagined when you began the game.
Travel powers are interesting but some are better than others. Burrowing allows you to go underground and travel at a decent pace, but you can't attack anyone on the surface; teleport takes some getting used to as do rocket boots; and super jump lets you travel great heights but feels a little uncontrollable..Web slinging, which is more akin to Batman's favorite mode of travel than Spider-Man's, works very well; you use it by hitting the spacebar and holding it to hold to keep your grapple extended. Acrobatics is a lighter combination of super jump and super speed combined with some fancy somersaults; and flight works perfectly.
One thing Cryptic needs to do is attach some attacks to these travel powers. For example, if I can fly, why can't i charge at an enemy and hit them with both my fists or grab an enemy , take them high in the sky and drop them on their head? Cryptic is on the right track to take on City of Heroes but it needs to do more things differently and other things better. I will be talking more about the game (what I am allowed to talk about at this time) soon.

Two M*A*S*H episodes spring to mind. Take the one where Hawkeye embarks on a string of deals to land a new boot, combine it with the "Incubator" episode and you have Obamacare. It seems many of the moving parts of ACA are in conflict with themselves. The news of the last week has been horrific for the administration on ACA: delay in the employer's requirement, enrollment on the honor system and now this.
It makes you wonder how many other dysfunctional elements are in the black box that they're hoping to fix before having to admit they're broken. Every joke cracked prior to passage of this bill about how crazy it is to trust the (in)efficiency of the U.S. government with the nation's health care system now seem prophetic.
I've said it several times in the last week; Republicans need to work toward making November 2014 a referendum on this nightmare.

Building industry: Reduced fees give Manatee a 'competitive edge'
Date: May 27, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
MANATEE COUNTY — A decision by Manatee County officials to temporarily cut transportation impact fees by half may translate into $3 million less in annual county revenue for road construction, but the move also may put Manatee in a better position to attract new businesses and to lower the price of new homes.
The Manatee Board of County Commissioners on May 19 voted 6-1 to reduce transportation impact fees by 50% and to eliminate educational facility impact fees for project applications received between July 27, 2009 and July 27, 2011. The reduction will be retroactive to Jan. 1, 2009.
Commissioner Joe McClash dissented.
Developers and construction industry advocates say the changes will help East County businesses and others stay afloat during a difficult economic time, while also giving Manatee a more competitive edge in attracting and retaining businesses.
"In today's economy, deals are made and broken over pennies; whatever we can do to reduce costs is a big plus," said Bill Jarvis, vice president of construction for Lakewood Ranch Commercial Realty and chairman of the governmental affairs committee for the Gulf Coast Builders Exchange, a not-for-profit trade organization that represents members of the building industry. "We're already seen an increase in activity since the board approved (the concept) a month ago. Deals are coming back to the table that have been on hold. Is it all because of impact fees? Probably not, but the reduction of impact fees is a big step."
The changes in transportation impact fees bring Manatee's fee structure more in line with that of Sarasota County, he said.
For example, transportation impact fees under the old fee structure cost builders $7,013 for a 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom compared to the current $3,506.50. The same fee for a 2,000-square-foot home in Sarasota costs $5,774.
For a hospital, Manatee now charges $5,093 per 1,000 square feet compared to its previous rate of $10,186 per 1,000 square feet. The same use in Sarasota costs $9,631 per 1,000 square feet.
"In some cases, (Manatee) was almost double (compared to) Sarasota County," Jarvis said. "This reduction has put the two counties on a very competitive playing field. Prior to that, Manatee was losing business to Sarasota, especially in medical and retail."
Mary Dougherty-Slapp, executive director of the builder's exchange, agreed, noting that companies looking to relocate aren't just looking for the best location: They are looking for the best bargain for their dollars.
"I think if they were on the fence (about coming to Manatee), this could certainly tip them over," she said.
Alan Zirkebach, president of Zirkelbach Construction, said the county still has a long way to go to attract large manufacturers and other large employers to the area because neighboring states do not charge impact fees and offer more incentives.
However, the changes in Manatee's impact fee structure are making a difference and giving business owners such as Zirkelbach more bargaining power, he said.
"It has helped me to be able to back to them," Zirkelbach. "People want to live in Florida."
Additionally, local builders say that lowering the fees already has translated into lower prices for consumers, more sales and continued employment for workers.
"Since we got the impact fee relief, we have been able to provide benefits to customers (by lowering prices), and it's really working," said developer Pat Neal of Neal Communities, noting new sales have allowed him to save seven jobs at his company and help keep his 57 trade partners in business.
And from a commercial standpoint, attracting new residents to the area and keeping them employed brings dollars to local businesses and commercial centers.
"The thing about is that anything that is good for the county, whether it's residential or building new schools, anything that will generate new jobs is a benefit for us," said Paul Blackketter, project manager for Benderson Development.
Overall, the reduction in transportation impact fees is expected to impact the county by about $6 million over two years. To accommodate the change, the widening of Moccasin Wallow Road from Interstate 75 to U.S. 301 has been pushed out of the county's five-year work program and an extension of 44th Avenue East from 10th Street East to 45th Street East, among other projects, may be delayed, county budget manager Peggy Curtin said.
County officials will use the next two years of reduced fees to reevaluate how impact fees are calculated.
Contact Pam McTeer at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sarasota and Manatee counties calculate transportation impact fees differently, so a direct visual comparison cannot be made.
In Manatee, transportation impact fees for single-family homes are calculated based on the number of bedrooms in a home. In Sarasota, the fees are based solely on square footage.
Using that example, transportation impact fees for a 2,000-square-foot, three-bedroom home in Manatee would cost $3,506.50 under the new fee structure. The same fees for a 2,000- to 2,999-square-foot home in Sarasota would cost $5,774.
Similarly, in a 4,000-square-foot Manatee home with four or more bedrooms the same fees would total $4,210.50. In Sarasota, the fees for a home that has a living area of 4,000 square feet or more would be $6,772.
Transportation impact fees for a commercial shopping center of 50,000 square feet or less in Manatee County would be $9,284.50 per 1,000 square feet. In Sarasota County, the fees would be $11,319 per 1,000 square feet for any shopping center/general retail facility.

Early Childhood Key Issues
English Language Learners
The AFT seeks to promote educational excellence and equity for English language learners (ELLs) to ensure they meet the same challenging standards required of all students. In addition to learning a new language, most ELLs also have to adjust to a new environment and culture, as well as learn new academic skills and content knowledge. The AFT's aim is to provide educators who teach ELLs with the instructional support and assistance they need to help meet those students' needs. Read more.
Quality Rating & Improvement Systems
Quality Rating and Improvement Systems have become a hot topic in early childhood education. QRIS are rating and assessment systems designed to assess early childhood programs, provide incentives to improve them, and communicate their level of quality. Read more.
Reading Instruction
Reading is the fundamental skill on which all formal education depends. Children who are poor readers at the end of first grade are unlikely to acquire the reading skills they need to successfully complete elementary school—unless they are identified early in their school career and given the intensive, systematic intervention they require. The AFT advocates that states and districts ensure that all K-3 teachers have the knowledge, resources and supports they need to implement high-quality early reading instruction for all students. Read more.
School Readiness
The positive impact of high-quality early childhood programs on children's success in school and beyond has been well documented. Numerous studies have shown that such programs increase the likelihood that children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, will become successful students and citizens. Among other resources, the AFT has compiled a list of practices found in high-quality programs. Read more.

If I have one complained about "Leaving Las Vegas" it's that the film wasn't in 3-D. You see it's the film that Elisabeth Shue warmed her way into my cold little heart and I always thought her hooker in love shtick would have come across a lot better in full blown 3-D. Sure some people will argue that she was adorable in "The Karate Kid" and "Adventures in Babysitting" but I say pish posh to that. Neither of those filmed featured a hooking Shue running around topless while a drunken Nicolas Cage drinks himself into oblivion.
It's not every Monday that we kick off the week with a round of "awesome indie movie title", but I'm feeling frisky so here it goes. Check out "Bong of the Dead". Aaah, an oldie but a goodie. Enjoy.
The Brian Keene novel "Dark Hollow" has been picked up for adaptation. The Story follows a half-man, half-goat "Satyr" who begins luring all the women of a small town into the woods with his spell. The men, pissed off about losing their women, go out into the woods to confront the evil. Another cool aspect of this is that he dropped the story of the acquisition on his Twitter feed, which seems to be happening more and more lately.
Here's an interesting little Japanese slasher called "Invitation Only". While digging through details I also discovered that it stars Japanese "actress" Maria Ozawa. Who is that you might ask? Let's just say if you're going to Google her, you may want to wait until you're in the privacy of your own home... with the lights off... and the door locked.
I was staying away from the rumor but today we have confirmation, Elizabeth Shue is confirmed for the remake of "Piranha 3D". The film, being shot in the newest 3D technology, is being written/directed by Alexandre Aja, of "Hills Have Eyes" and "Mirrors" fame. Shue will play the role of Sherriff Julie Forester, a "take-charge authority figure in the community of Lake Victoria". Sounds sassy!
And finally, a little treat for you on this Monday, a much better look at Megan Fox in Diablo Cody's "Jennifer's Body". Don't ever say I'm not looking out for you guys.
The awesome thing about Woody Harrelson, is that I really do believe he attacked that photographer because he thought he was a zombie. You can't blame the man for trying to stop the apocalypse.
Oregon bill successfully outlaws "facials", but not the actual practice they were aiming at, ie a gang ritual in which members were forced to throw their semen at people in public areas. Way to go, guys.
Those massage chairs they have at the mall for when you're tired are a pretty great idea... unless of course someone jumps to their death and lands directly on top of you. That's not relaxing AT ALL.
Woman develops "phantom" third arm, and tests have proven that her brain is literally "controlling" the limb and processing feedback. Really cool story you guys should check out.
1984: Itinerant serial killer Henry Lee Lucas found guilty by a Texas jury for the murder of "Orange Socks", a hitchhiker whose name is not known. Lucas and his partner Ottis Toole are thought to have killed as many as 200 people.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Somewhere in your local gym, probably behind the rowing machines, bikes, and treadmills, is an awkward looking contraption known as the 'Cross-Trainer', also referred to as the 'Elliptical'. You've probably wondered what all the fuss is about, but haven't felt confident enough to get onboard.
If you haven't used this machine as part of your fitness routine, take another look because there are few better all round exercise devices. You can get an entire body workout from the Cross-Trainer, because it's designed to tone various body parts with a fluid, low impact motion. Health benefits include heart healthy, cardiovascular conditioning, bone strengthening, and increased lung capacity.
Often people believe mistakenly that the elliptical is an easy exercise that's inferior to running or rowing, but that's not the case. The elliptical isolates certain muscles, so that they get a more focused workout. Running impacts on your joints, and bad form with rowing machines can lead to back strains. With the cross trainer you get a less stressful workout session.
When cross training, the combined effect of working your lower body, arms, and shoulders means that many other muscle groups are needed as well. The elliptic movement and handles require effort from the calves, quads, biceps, triceps and even your core. Cross training is a great toning exercise that requires aerobic activity. As you get used to each program you can increase the levels much like the traditional treadmill.

Attention Canadian Thrice Fans!
It has been brought to our attention that a mistake was made in the assembly of the "Major / Minor" CDs distributed in your country. Instead of the proper back cover facing outward with the track listing showing, that panel of the package was folded to the inside. That means the inside front panel was accidentally made the cover. So Canadian versions of the CD will look like this:
Please be aware that is the ONLY mistake. Your package was simply folded incorrectly at the plant but all elements are exactly the same…the softpack, the colors, the booklet, and the CD are identical to what the rest of the world is getting. So when you get your copy, Canada, simply refold it the proper way and it will be perfect again.
We're very sorry for any confusion this may cause.

During a House Ways and Means Committee hearing Tuesday, six witnesses were called to testify about their groups being targeted by the Internal Revenue Service.
The witnesses were from various conservative, Tea Party, pro-life, pro-marriage, and other patriotic groups.
Although the Democrats on the committee were given the opportunity to call up a witness from a liberal group targeted by the IRS, they declined, according to Ways and Means Chairman David Camp, R-Mich.
"I do want to note that the minority was given the opportunity to call up a witness but did not present a witness that had been affected by taxpayer activity, by IRS activity, so that's why there is no minority witness at the table today," Camp explained during the hearing.

For starters, it smells like—you guessed it—roses. The scent is heady but not cloying or overpowering, so you can still wear scented body lotion or perfume and not feel like they're competing for attention. But the scent of this moisturizer is just so divine—you'll be hard-pressed to find another one that smells this fantastic!
And, of course, it makes skin look dewy, glowy and otherwise perfect. The combination of three roses detoxify, soothe and enhance the skin in a gel-cream texture that's whipped, light and fluffy. Immediately upon application, skin is hydrated and nourished, even if dryness lurks underneath.
In short? We're in love.

Filip Forsberg, LW/RW
Shoots: R
Height: 6-1
Weight: 176
Born: 1994-08-13
Hometown: Ostervala, Sweden
Drafted: 11th overall by Washington in 2012
October 2013 - Forsberg is having a good start to his first NHL season, potting his first goal and four points in eight games played. At the moment he is playing very sheltered minutes, which is not surprising as he learns the ropes. He currently sits third on the team in powerplay time on ice per game but only twelfth in even strength time on ice per game. That being said Forsberg has worked his way into a crowded offensive lineup and has not looked out of place. He is developing well and is still a top tier offensive prospect. Donesh Mazloum
April 2013 - Washington trades 2012 1st round pick Filip Forsberg to the Nashville Predators for Martin Erat and prospect Michael Latta. The trade went down on trade deadline at the very last minute. Forsberg's fantasy value takes a bit of a hit heading to Nashville but he will also be the main forward that the Predators will build around going forward so that's a bonus. Brendan Ross
October, 2012 - Forsberg is off to a strong start in Sweden's second division scoring 4 goals and 5 points in his opening seven games. Those numbers may appear mediocre but he leads all junior players in a league playing against men. -Brendan Ross
July 2012 – The Caps have locked up Forsberg to a three year entry level and announced that he will stay in Sweden with Leksand for at least another season. Needs to show ability to produce amongst men before he will be ready for North America. Jason Banks
June, 2012 - After slidding a bit, Forsberg was grabbed by Washington at the 11th spot. The Capitals will appreciate his strong work ethic, advanced puck possession skills and impressive offensive skills. Brendan Ross
March, 2012 – Arguably the top draft eligible prospect playing in Sweden and even Europe this season, Filip Forsberg has been competing against grown men since he was just 16 years of age. Playing in the second-tiered Allsvenskan in Sweden, the 17-year-old has been a regular offensive contributor. He is incredibly shifty and has a slew of dekes and toe-drags that can make even the best defenders look silly.
Fantasy Outlook: A-
He has excellent offensive skills but they might not translate to the NHL game if he doesn't get considerably stronger.
Filip Forsberg eluding defenders at age 12:
