Comments about ASOLO Women's Trinity WP Hiking Boots, Fire Red/Grey:
This boot is fine and I would have been happy with it. However, getting into and out of the boot is cumbersome. It takes too much time to put it on and off, especially if you do so in winter with cold hands and several times a day. You need to change the fastening devices on the shoe.

New study says reusable towels pose no health risk
Textile rental services association TRSA has presented the results of a research that proves how reusable shop towels, foodservice napkins and healthcare isolation gowns are more sustainable than their disposable counterparts, the association reports in a news article on their website.
The findings of the study indicate that from "cradle to grave," reusable items demonstrate superior environmental and human health performance and score better in a majority of documented scenarios. Best- and worst-cases were set up for resource conservation and pollution control across all phases of the lives of these reusables vs. their disposable counterparts, from raw material extraction through production, use and end-of-life. The research found that the reusables in all three product categories had a lesser impact on global warming than disposables and also performed better in head-to-head comparisons involving acidification, eutrophication, ozone depletion, fossil fuel depletion and smog creation. Whereas the superiority was evident in the analysis of isolation gowns, for napkins and shop towels, reusables' median performance was greener in most such match-ups. Senior managing scientist Randall Wentsel, Ph.D., who performed the research, said the results for napkins varied because 'the range in paper-making impacts is large and reusables' washing impacts are relevant – especially for heavier products.' Thus, bulkier goods, both paper and cloth, can have significant environmental impacts, but reusables' effects decrease when washings per napkin rise. On shop towels, Wentsel noted that raw materials and manufacturing drove the scores. 'The impact of polyester from disposables is considerably larger than cotton production from reusables,' he said, although the latter didn't fare as well in eutrophication and to a lesser extent in acidification. Reusables compare better in scenarios involving heavyweight disposables and their associated land filling burden. The study was commissioned by TRSA and conducted by Exponent Inc., Menlo Park, CA. TRSA wanted to provide a comprehensive profile of reusable textiles as the more sustainable choice for industrial, foodservice and healthcare businesses. Previous studies compared only the competing products' solid-waste generation. The TRSA study's research is nearly complete and a report will soon be submitted for critical peer review. Read more

Most Samsung LED TVs have three or four automatic picture modes, for example: Dynamic, Standard, Movie, etc. each mode has its own, independent group of settings (color, tint, contrast, etc.). When you change a picture setting in a mode, you change the setting for that mode only. The change does not affect the settings in the other modes. If, for example, you select the Dynamic picture mode, and change the Color setting, you change the color for the Dynamic picture mode only. The color settings in the other modes are not affected.
By default the setting for a picture mode are only applied to the input you are on. This allows you to use the same picture mode on different inputs but have different adjustment made for the different inputs. If you would like to apply the picture settings to all input you can set the Apply Picture Mode option to All Sources. This will make the picture mode adjustments the same on all sources.
Note: If you ever want to return all the picture options to the default settings you can use the Picture Reset option to return all picture options to factory defaults.
To adjust the color of the picture on your newer or current LED TV, follow these steps:
Note: Color changes the intensity of all colors in general. Tint changes the color balance from more green to more red.

…but so rewarding!
I was feeling a little otherwise, which is probably how I came to completely mistime my walk into the city for a lazy lunch. How to fill a 45 minute gap?
1. Mecca Cosmetica, Little Collins St
Amazing staff, always very helpful and friendly and totally non-judgmental when an unmade-up person with scarily unkempt brows walks in and starts poking around. As soon as I'd said "lipstick" the assistant was rummaging around painting colours she thought would both appeal and suit on the back of her hand. We narrowed it down to two, and I walked out with an Ellis Faas lipstick and a booking for the Nars event. Huh?
2. Myer – 35% off cookbooks
No, I don't need any more cookbooks. Let's face it, I don't need any material possessions beyond basic clothing, right? The frivolity of cosmetics purchases needed to be balanced by something more practical. Something more useful. Something I could almost justify as being a money-saver in the long run. So now I am the proud owner of bourke street bakery – the ultimate baking companion. Of course, now I think I'm going to need a proper electric mixer… Recommendations welcome!
3. Sole Devotion, Degraves St
Last year I bought some shoes online from John Fluevog Shoes, which means that they now send me regular emails to tempt me into further purchases. As far as I'm concerned, the existence of these shoes makes up for Michael Buble and Celine Dion. Anyway, SD in the city also stocks the shoes and I was in the area… sort of… and couldn't resist dropping in. Once you're in there, it's impossible not to try on shoes and once you've tried them on, it's unlikely you're going to be able to walk away without them. My new black Viardots are similar enough to the Malibrans to sneak under the shoe-monitor's radar for a while, I suspect.

"For about six years I experimented with different parts, drive systems and footboards until I had the blueprint for the pedal that you have in front of you. Other than the action, easy portability and quick set up was a main concern to me. At that point SONOR joined the project and contributed their German precision engineering and an innovative solution for the folding mechanism and self-mounting hoop clamp that works at the push of a button."
"The Perfect Balance Pedal is a carefully calibrated system that optimizes the linear translation of your foot movements and makes many adjustments expendable. It was designed with a principle in mind that reflects ultimate sophistication to me:Simplicity.Essentially, it could be described as the soul and feel of a vintage pedal reincarnated in the technology of a 21st century body." - Jojo Mayer
Folds the pedal into compact size for easy transportation with the push of a button. For extended lifespan, the spring can be dislocated and secured with a magnet when folded.
Low Mass Drive System
The drive cam and beater hub are streamlined into a single unit for low mass and carefully calibrated for perfectly balanced strokes. Round cam design creates linear acceleration which is a major advantage for many hybrid techniques.
Elongated Board
Elongated and smooth footboard adds more leverage to the stroke and allows extended range of movement for heel toe and sliding techniques.
Ballistic Fiber Strap
Ballistic fiber strap minimizes inertia of the drive system and offers a quicker and smoother response than chain or solid drives. For those who prefer, the pedal can easily be retrofitted with a double chain.
Self Mounting Clamp
Quick mounts the pedal with a single motion. Clamp adjusts to all hoop thicknesses.
Magnetic Spring Dock
Magnetic spring dock secures spring during transportation which dramatically extends the life of the spring.
Non-Proprietary Screws
Standard Allen screws are metric items that can be obtained at every good hardware store. No need to special order replacement screws any longer!
The pedal folds into a compact size for easy transportation with the click of a button.
Pedal Bag
Compact Tarpaulin style pedal bag makes bulky carrying cases obsolete. Includes shoulder strap.
Jojo Mayer Bass Drum Pedal
Three year warranty on Force 507, Force 1007, Force 2007 and Force 3007. Five year warranty on S Classix, Delite, Designer and SQ2.

My sister just laughed and said no and told mum to stay still. She then placed a glass on each of mums hands and walked off to her room.

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — Supporters of electric vehicles will be holding a Plug-In Day in Burlington to raise awareness about the vehicles and announce new financing initiatives to support more of them in Vermont.
The event will be held Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Church Street in front of City Hall.
Electric vehicles from several local dealers will be on display. Organizers say the vehicles are an affordable, safe and reliable option for many Vermonters.
The Vermont state treasurer, deputy public service board commissioner, mayor of Burlington and head of the Vermont Economic Development Authority are expected to be at a press conference at 11 a.m. to announce two new financing initiatives.

Thinking Right's weekend free-for-all. Pick a topic:
Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney and her publicity-seeking stunts have finally achieved the attention she deserves: One- or two-paragraph stories that run with those that warn us that sheep on the remote Scottish island of Hirta are gradually shrinking because of global warming. Global warming's shrunk our interest in her, too.
Are pickups prejudiced? Two Dalton people were killed when the motorcycle they were riding was sideswiped by a motorist who apparently crossed the center lane. A motorist driving a car could have done the same thing. Yet pickup drivers — I am one — are presumed to be aggressive and when a lesser vehicle is involved, it's always noted that the offending vehicle was a pickup.
Not surprising that among the big cities with the lowest unemployment rates is Washington, D.C., with 6.2 percent. Atlanta ranks 18th, at 9.6 percent. The stimulus creates jobs. For government workers.
Atlanta businesses about to be hit with a sharp increase in city property taxes fall into two camps: those who pass on the entire levy and the mom-and-pop operators who can't, and therefore take it out of salaries and services. The latter are the kinds that get taxed out of existence.
The cheating by officials at four elementary schools on the CRCT is so dishonest to children and their parents that nobody found to be involved should ever be allowed to set foot on public school property again. The schools are Deerwood Academy in Atlanta, Atherton Elementary in DeKalb, Parklane Elementary in Fulton and Burroughs-Molette in Glynn County. It is simply appalling that despite the evidence Atlanta Public Schools officials still pretend otherwise. "They're taking the position that there's no confession, so it didn't happen," a state official told the state school board.
A study finds that Georgia ranks 14th nationally in percentage of fat adults and third nationally in fat 10- to 17-year-olds. Georgia is criticized in the report by the Trust for America's Health for not having strict nutrition standards for school lunches and vending machines. It ain't the school's fault. Children eat at the same tables with fat mommas and daddies. The place to start reforming America's health care system is at the TV snack tray.
Fat Georgians are in training to reclaim a title lost last week. Three circus elephants defeated three humans in an eating contest, downing 505 hot dog buns in six minutes. Humans downed 143.
Take the dog, you take the fleas. The Securities and Exchange Commission votes unanimously to require companies requiring a bail-out to allow shareholders to vote on executive compensation. I agree with the principle. It is, however, an instance of regulators using the bail-out to meddle in management's business.
Run, Sarah, run. Actually, all candidates should resign to run for higher office. All four of the presidential and vice presidential candidates last year, including Palin, held onto their jobs until they got something better.
If North Korea launches a cyberattack on Thinking Right, I'm drafting every fierce liberal who camps out on my blog and assigning them to Kim Jong II's blog, Thinking Nutty.
Vice President Joe Biden announced that hospitals have agreed to forgo $155 billion in future government payments so the nonexistent money can be diverted to partially "finance" a new health care entitlement that Democrats want to ram through Congress this year. First of all, the money is an illusion. Secondly, Biden is not authorized to speak for the administration.
The pot smokers have the same solution to California's budget woes that the Underground Atlanta gambling interests have for Georgia's: Legalize something objectionable. Surely somebody's convinced that prostitution is some state's budget savior.

I read the book that is the most comprehensive on Iraq's cost and I wouldn't trust anything "congress spews out or has accepted" as far as I could spit it. Look at the idiots in Congress and what they say. Some of the dumbest individuals on the planet are in Congress. Bachman, Imhoff, and the list goes on. I cited the reference. It's extensively refrenced itself. Check it out at the bookstore.en
Congress can't even get a straight story from the CIA. Cheney ran secret programs for years and the gang of 8 who is supposed to get closed briefings didn't. I wouldn't trust Congress' figures as far as you can spit 'em.

I'm happy to see the Republicans proclaim Obama will lose. They have continued to do thatat and deny what reality is and will be. What I can't get out of you as Obama cuts unemployment in half from what it was in January as a result of 8 years of Bush is who you think will beat Obama who is a Republican in 2012. I see the platitudes "Obama will beat Obama." That's what Wooten said in September when Palin helped drag you down.
And Wooten thinks Palin will be President–how goofey and out of touch is that?
Who is the Republican ticket that wins in 2012.? I'd start tracking http://www.fivethirtyeight.com and get some polling facts. I can't see any Republican candidate that will come close to Obama in 2012.

From Nate Silver quoting Rasmussen Reports:
The big news on the health care front this weekend is that House Democrats are prepared to call for a tax increase on the highest-earning Americans in order to pay for expanded health insurance. Although accounts of the exact details differ slightly, it appears that the tax hike would take the form of a "surcharge" of 1 percent on incomes from $280,000 to $400,000, 1.5 percent on incomes of $400,000 to $800,000 and 3 percent on incomes of $800,000 and above. This means that someone making $500,000 would pay about an extra $2,700 in taxes each year, and someone making $1,000,000 would pay an extra $13,200. The burden, in other words, would fall disproportionately on those who earn not just in the six figures, but rather in the seven figures, for whom much more of their income would become subject to the 3 percent rate.
I also think the House has probably found the path of least resistance in terms of marshaling public support for financing health care. In June, the Kaiser Health Tracking Poll asked Americans about seven different mechanisms to pay for health care. The one solution that Kaiser missed was that of a national sales tax, so for that I use data from Rasmussen Reports instead, who ran a May poll indicating that 40 percent of Americans would support a national sales tax if it paid for health insurance. Increasing taxes on incomes of $250,000+ was supported by 68 percent of Americans in the Kaiser poll, tying it with increased cigarette and booze taxes for the most popular option:

Wealth envy is a powerful motivator. I'm surprised the 68% is not higher. So we will now penalize small businesses which provide 70% of all US private sector jobs. What a wonderful plan.

Here's a small part of what Peggy Noonan wrote about Palin. Noonan, BTW, is a Republican supporter. So, when you have one of your own supporters calling her shallow, ignorant, stupid, etc, you have a problem. Peggy Noonan wrote:
"""In television interviews she was out of her depth in a shallow pool. She was limited in her ability to explain and defend her positions, and sometimes in knowing them. She couldn't say what she read because she didn't read anything. She was utterly unconcerned by all this and seemed in fact rather proud of it: It was evidence of her authenticity. She experienced criticism as both partisan and cruel because she could see no truth in any of it. She wasn't thoughtful enough to know she wasn't thoughtful enough. Her presentation up to the end has been scattered, illogical, manipulative and self-referential to the point of self-reverence. "I'm not wired that way," "I'm not a quitter," "I'm standing up for our values." I'm, I'm, I'm.
In another age it might not have been terrible, but here and now it was actually rather horrifying. """
You Republicans will never learn. She's the best thing to happen to the Party…….the DEMOCRATIC PARTY. She unites them like no other while dividing the Republicans and alienating the Independents who the Republicans NEED to win in a national election.
My question is: Is Sarah Palin an UNDERCOVER DEMOCRAT??? Gotta be for all the good she has done for the Republican Party.
Gotta love it!

The job situation and the economy was wrecked on multiple fronts by Bush for eight years. It's not going to turn around in 6 months–it's going to take years and that's not going to change.
And all the people jumping up and down are careful to
offer no economic solutions
make sure they don't name who they think can beat Obama in 2012.
Republicans are great at pissing on any ideas; they can't come up with any of their own. That's why you continue to lose.
All of these economic cry babies have no ideas of what they'd do. You thought there was an economic boom during Bush and when he left in January? Is that right?

The list of major Republican writersy and political advisors pissing on Palin is infinite. I quoted Mike Murphy and have linked the Vanity Fair article several times quoting McCain's campaign runners.

Actually I believe enough has been written about Mrs.Palin that there will never be another origional thought published about her.I read a professional assessment of her supposed mental state a while back and every hack has picked up on it like they were the inventor of the diagnosis.I think that there are actually only four subjects about Mrs. Palin that are being expounded upon by the pundits and they've pretty much beaten them to death.
We now need to concentrate on which politician we think is after David BroOks's A$$.

Kyle Wingfield's editorial was interesting. Kyle was appalled that our republican gubernatorial candidate, John Oxendine would make a political statement at the bedside of his wife after she just gave birth. Kyle's opinion is that family members should not be a part of the drama in the political theater. Kyle laments that Sarah Palin quit her job because of the toll it took on her family. The obvious question is, "whose fault was that?" Sarah Palin has been traveling with her family and placing them around her like stage props for years. That was her choice. Any politician that repeats that mistake is bound to make a mess of their family life. In the case of Mark Sanford I found it interesting that his wife has been his campaign manager for years. She probably should have helped him a little less. Typically, men don't like getting help from their wives, i.e., Bill and Hillary.

Stimulus checks to individuals worked well to boost the economy.Many were confiscated by individual states to satisfy some debt or other,some,like mine were squirreled away for a future rainy day,A lot of them went to the drug dealer,some went to pay down debt and somewhere around $316 was actually spent on something benefitting the economy.Yes we need another stimulus.
Money given to AIG is being used wisely,bonuses are being paid again.I was worried about whether they were going to get their extra millions.GM is out of bankruptcy.Things are moving right along.Ford is apparently talking about not building the Ranger anymore,instead concentrating on boosting the sales of the F-150.I wasn't going to buy a new Ranger anyway.
I repeat,I need more stimulus money.
Raise taxes.That's always good for the economy.Pass cap and trade.That will help immensely.Taxing the rich is always good for a laugh.

Taxing the rich is going to be a major plank of health care and it should be. ds It's no laughing matter. The people who are being taxed for a public health option so that it doesn't screw doctors the way Medicaid and Medicare have find all kinds of creative and often illegal ways to avoid paying any taxes. Right now about 52000 rich Americans are wetting their pants waiting to see whether their hidden tax shelters are going to be exposed by a federal court in Florida tomorrow so that their money can be seized and they can be prosecuted.

12:38 pm
Kyle doesn't seem to be apauled that Sumo Wrestler and do nothing Governor Purdue has done zero for roads, and has his own illegal land deals going.
And Kyle should be lamenting that Palin is unqualified to hold any office. Palin chose to showcase her family and at this moment is engaged in a very public feud with her ex-son-in-las to be and the father of her illegitimate grand child.
If Palin has any aspirations to be President, and your party stupidly thinks she's "the og to pne for you" according to polls, there is going to be a lot brighter light on her dysfunctional family.
Palin is not going to be able to run for President by avoiding comprehenxive interviews except Faux Greta. BTW she invited about 8 major media outlets onto her fishing boat where she talked gibberish at a manic pace using a cadence generally reserved for auctioneers.
She wanted to make sure tno substantive quetions could be asked.
Kyle is a loser installed by the Right Wing Co
July 12th, 2009
12:40 pm
Kyle is a loser installed by the Right Wing Cox Board who booted Bookman, Tucker, and Downey and turned AJC into a fifth rate high school level paper that values covering Atlanta Housewives and Michael Jackson rather than substantive national and international news.
July 12th, 2009
12:44 pm
Why does Palin persist in hiding frome comprehensive, substantive interviewers from major media outlets? I'll answer that. It's because the quetions quickly show she has no grasp of policy needed to hold major office, and quickly reveals her inept stream of consciousness speech that daisy chains specious platitude after platitude.
The woman's a cipher. Mike Murphy nailed her cold on Thursday. And millions of people read Murphy while very few read little Kyle.
July 12th, 2009
12:45 pm
Why does Palin avoid major interviews from anyone but Faux Greta whose husband set up her Pac?
July 12th, 2009

Faux Greta's husband, Mein Heir, is a bagman for Democrats.
July 12th, 2009

As Dr. Strangelove once said, "Mein Fuhrer…excuse me, I mean 'My President'!"
I'd meant "Mein Herr[ing]".
July 12th, 2009
1:16 pm
No actually Faux Greta's husband and Greta have a major agenda which is Scientology. For his own self serving reasons, and to get superficial interviews for his fired from CNN (which is a terribly superficial Michael Jackson all the time station) wife.
He had a stupid plan to forge an alliance between Hillary Clinton and Palin. The more Van Susteren talks and blogs the goofier she looks.
Again the question remains and the answer remains: Why won't Palin interview widely and deeply?
Answer: She can't answer questions substantively. Her Borderline mind rattles off non-sensical cliches.
She can't name books or papers she reads because she doesn't read.

I mean money will be taxed under the Health Care Bill that passes. Only a moron confuses the crappy Waxman bill with a Health Care Bill. I've covered this for you in the past 48 hours. If you can't keep up, keeping quiet would be best.
There will be a tax on the wealthy in the HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL:
As I said and 1984 aka Andy AKA Michael Smith can't read:
it appears that the tax hike would take the form of a "surcharge" of 1 percent on incomes from $280,000 to $400,000, 1.5 percent on incomes of $400,000 to $800,000 and 3 percent on incomes of $800,000 and above. This means that someone making $500,000 would pay about an extra $2,700 in taxes each year, and someone making $1,000,000 would pay an extra $13,200. The burden, in other words, would fall disproportionately on those who earn not just in the six figures, but rather in the seven figures, for whom much more of their income would become subject to the 3 percent rate.
July 12th, 2009
1:46 pm
LOL, the only people that get upset about the prospect of an extra $2,700 in taxes each year are the ones that listen to Hannity and would miss $2,700 if they lost it. The people that would actually have to pay the extra money in taxes spend more than that on a golf weekend.
July 12th, 2009
1:57 pm
I have decided I would like to have to pay an extra $13,200 a year in taxes providing my income is boosted to $ one million.I believe I would be farther ahead that way.

But the core of the problem remains somehow mysterious.
Most often, hoarding is considered a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder, an illness in which people cannot stop certain thoughts and behaviors, such as washing their hands or worrying about germs incessantly. About one-quarter of those people hoard.

News you choose to ignore desperate socialist loser is the Blue Dogs like Rep. John "Blue Dog" Barrow who will not vote to pass the socialist Obumer-ACORN-SEIU-Family USA-Care public option.
What happened to caps and trades? Put on the Senate's back burner until August?
Obumer and his socialist Dem-beciles losing everywhere.
Yeah, run Sarah, all over the country raising money to elect conservative populous candidates in 2010 to replace these lousy liberal nanny state socialist tax, borrow and spend losers.
July 12th, 2009
3:54 pm
Geeze, does P2012 have a life? Family? Job? WTF is up with that deranged psychopath libtroll from hell? What a sad, pathetic human being. The good news is that libtard POS is mortal like the rest of us and will return to dirt some day.
Anyway, this is exhibit #12,323 of the New York Slimes showing libtard bias. The Cliff Notes version: Sotomayor struggling with diabetes is "inspiring", but Palin having a kid is "troubling". Only in libtard land……….
New York Times White House reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg issued another flattering bunch of factoids about Obama's Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor — she controls her diabetes: "Court Nominee Manages Diabetes With Discipline." Stolberg suggested that Sotomayor's "no-nonsense" approach to her insulin injections was a sign of how she will tackle Supreme Court cases.
'Judge Sonia Sotomayor carries a small black travel pouch, not much larger than a wallet. It contains the implements she needs — a blood sugar testing kit, a needle and insulin — to manage diabetes, a disease she has had for 46 years. Friends say she is not shy about using it. "She'll be eating Chinese dumplings," said Xavier Romeu Matta, a former law clerk to the judge, "and she'll say, 'Excuse me sweetie,' and pull out the kit and inject her insulin." That no-nonsense attitude, combined with the attention to detail that characterizes her legal opinions, has been a hallmark of Judge Sotomayor's approach to Type 1 diabetes, according to friends, colleagues and her longtime doctor, Andrew Jay Drexler. An endocrinologist in Los Angeles, Dr. Drexler pronounced her "in very good health" in a letter provided by the White House.'
Stolberg treated Sotomayor as almost heroic for keeping her diabetes under control and never suggested her medical condition could be a hindrance to performing on the highest court in the land. So, when John McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, did Stolberg laud Palin as heroic for being both a governor and mother of five children? Of course not. In fact, Stolberg took the opposite approach, suggesting the job of both vice president and mother would be too much for Palin to handle.
'She herself, Gov. Palin, has a new baby, and so one question that comes up, is this is a woman that has a lot going on in her personal life, she's got a new baby herself, her daughter's about to get married and have a baby, a lot going on there. I do think it's a fair question to ask how she will juggle those responsibilities. Maybe it's a question that wouldn't be asked of a man, as Steve Schmidt said, but it is a question that I think Americans will ask."'
Nah, no libtard media bias whatsoever, right?
July 12th, 2009

When PMSNBC talks about AIG bonuses, you know something is wrong. Now for you short bus riding Obamabots, AIG bonuses were hidden in that first "stimulus" bill that the libtards passed without even reading and Chris Dodd was the genius behind it. Yeah, this competence of these libtards running Washington is going to last, isn't it?
July 12th, 2009

It's Justice Sotamayor now. And I'd commend her for being a childhood Type 1 (not all of them in fact are) and keeping her Glyc HB nl for over 40 years.

What happened to caps and trades? Put on the Senate back burner?
Obumer losing everywhere – misreading the economy like you misreading everything – his Porkulus wasteful big government spending package has fallen and can't get the limp economy-up on half a Viagra table and a handful of candy.
Yeah Sarah, run all over the country in 2010 raising money to defeat Obumer and his socialist Dem-beciles before this country becomes the United Socialist States of American and fiscally implodes like that other 70 year failed communist nanny state experiment.

Oh yeah, and of course the New York Slimes and DNCNN is all over the Cheney story about how he allegedly withheld CIA information about a secret program from Congress. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature knows this is a well organized smoke screen in an attempt to save Pelosi's face in her claims that the CIA lied to her about waterboarding. Why? Simple: this alleged plan was never actually implemented. The Slimes fails to tell you that, as per libtard DNC media usual…….

Libtards think that just merely by raising taxes on the evil rich that they will be able to pay for all their wonderful candyassed fairy tale libtard utopian [incompetent] government-run socialist crap like "free" universal health care for all (never mind 86% of the US has a health care plan and 75% of them are happy with it – nah, facts like that mean nothing to libtards). If you want to see the future of America under libtardism, look no further than Kalifornia:

"Michael H. Smith is none other than Michael H. Smith not andy or bruicie wilcox you anti-American loser."

I for one sure as hell hope so, she can do it too. These nitwit liberal socialist Dem-beciles really don't know what they may be unleashing. This lady is not one to sit on the sidelines for long, not saying she is vindictive but she strikes me as the type person that gets-even long before she gets mad. Which means the word quit really isn't in her vocabulary but the word alternative is likely to be found somewhere in her conservative little red book.

Well, it sure is comforting to know that the Congressional Black Caucus is looking into such important matters such as the racial makeup of committee staffs……
Black Caucus Studies Racial Makeup of House Committee Staffs
By Janie Lorber
The New York Times
Among Democrats on Capitol Hill, black aides are significantly more likely to work for committees whose chairmen are African-American, according to a survey conducted by the Congressional Black Caucus.
Blacks make up nearly half the staffs at two committees with black chairmen — the Oversight and Government Reform and Homeland Security — while there are only two blacks among the 55 staff members working for the House Agriculture and Rules committees, both of which are headed by white representatives.
"The survey confirms what members have noticed anecdotally—the lack of African-American staffers on Capitol Hill, particularly in senior positions," said Representative Barbara Lee, Democrat of California and the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, in a statement Thursday. "We are aware that there are efforts under way to address this institutionally and the caucus is committed to lending assistance to House leadership and committee chairs to ensure a more diverse workforce on Capitol Hill."
The unpublished survey, first reported by CQ early Thursday morning, is an initial, if not the only, attempt to document the racial breakdown of Hill employees — a quest that has become increasingly common in Washington since the election of President Obama.
But, on the whole, the survey found that the percentage of blacks working on Capitol Hill, 18.7 percent, is actually greater than the proportion of African-Americans — at 12.8 percent — in the national population.
Meanwhile, still no word on whether or not there was a "hate" crime in Ohio when a white family was attacked after a July 4th fireworks show:

It turns out there are more differences between early birds and night owls than just the time of day when they feel at their peak. A new study of extreme early birds and night owls published in the journal Science found that not only did night owls have a later peak as expected, they performed better on a simple reaction test at the end of their "day" than early birds did after the same number of waking hours. An fMRI scan revealed increased activity in the brains of night owls after 10.5 waking hours, indicating that the difference in performance is due to a difference in the brains of early birds and night owls. There was no difference, however, during their "mornings" (1.5 hours after waking up).
It seems the early birds might not always get the worm.
A good synopsis of the study can be found at: http://news.health.com/2009/04/23/early-bird-night-owl-brain-scans/.

Always in the shadow of the 2100 series, the Asics Gel 1170 really deserves its own time in the spotlight.
These days, you're always hearing about getting the most bang for your buck. The Asics 1170 offers a pretty fantastic fit and ride in an affordable package. It doesn't sport as many bells and whistles as the ever-popular GT-2100 series shoes, but our testers were impressed by the comfort and run-ability of the 1170, particularly at its price point.
Testers noted that the upper of the 1170 fits almost exactly like the 2170. It's a middle-of-the-road fit that appeals to a wide variety of foot shapes. Most testers found the heel to be on the snug side, but never uncomfortably tight.
The 1170 also benefits from the smooth transition Asics engineers into its running models, and finds a good balance between cushioning and responsiveness. This is a shoe designed to appeal to a broad swath of runners who need a good amount of pronation support and want a durable shoe to be their high mileage partner.
"Pleasantly surprised by the smooth heel to toe transition. This shoe feels more expensive than it is." - Lauren
"The 1170 stands on its own as a daily trainer you can just put on and count on for pretty much any distance." - Matt

Is the recovery over?
The first negative GDP print since 2009 has confounded the bulls. And there is more pain coming.
For the first time since the recession ended in the middle of 2009, the U.S. economy contracted at the end of last year. Fourth-quarter GDP growth fell to -0.1% from a 3.1% rise in the third quarters, surprising the optimists so focused on Dow 14,000. As I've been saying for weeks, the fundamentals didn't justify the market melt up. And eventually, fundamentals matter.
The optimists are already trying to dismiss the report as a fluke since a large part of the drop was connected to a 22% fall in defense spending. It's no fluke: In a month, the Pentagon will likely be hit with another budget cut worth 9.4% of its discretionary spending, or more than $50 billion a year.
And it's about to get worse.
People forget that it was government spending -- in the guise of bailouts, unemployment benefits, and stimulus -- that bolstered the economy in the early stages of the recovery when business and consumer spending was in the doldrums. Now, with businesses nervous and consumers suffering from tax hikes, higher health care costs, and still stagnant wages, the government's fiscal mess is forcing it to pull back.
The bulk of the fiscal cliff -- the tax hikes and spending cuts worth 5% of GDP -- was merely postponed. The fact remains that the government has no choice but to tighten the budget, or else it faces the threat of additional credit rating downgrades.
So people should get used to weak government spending contributions to GDP.
What about consumers, who contributed +1.5% to the Q4 GDP number? Not only is confidence down hard on the payroll tax hike, but they are about to be hit with higher gasoline prices and higher rental costs as well. Moreover, the chart below shows how government budget cuts will impact consumer spending -- which the bulls and political operatives are grabbing onto as the bright spot in the report -- since government transfer benefits (unemployment, etc.) have been a more important factor than work wages.
All of this will drag on consumption expenditures later this year and reverse the one bright spot in the report.
And businesses started pulling back on inventories in Q4 in response to uncertain demand from consumers. This should continue as well.
A second negative GDP print in Q1, amidst budget battles and tax hikes, would technically throw the U.S. economy back into recession -- joining most of Europe, Japan, and soon, the United Kingdom.
If you average out the last two GDP prints, you get an economy stumbling along at a 1.5% annual growth rate. An economy that isn't ready for the fiscal cuts and political turmoil that awaits in 2013. Already, the regional Fed manufacturing surveys have been terrible. Home sales are down. It's not looking pretty.
In response, I'm adding new short exposure to my Edge Letter Sample Portfolio via Alpha Natural Resources (ANR) and U.S. Steel (X). I'm also doubling up on the VelocityShares Daily 2x VIX (TVIX) with the CBOE Volatility Index ($VIX) deeply oversold and rounding higher.
Disclosure: Anthony has recommended X short, ANR short, and TVIX long to his clients.

Learn more about major/minor requirements and courses in the College Catalog
At Millsaps College we investigate the power of live theatre to create imaginary worlds that entertain but also provide us with the ability to see ourselves in relationship to others. Our program embraces theatre as a humanizing force that draws strangers together, challenges stereotypes, builds community, cultivates compassion, and provides perspective. We celebrate the importance of each individual and create an environment that embraces inclusion, adventure, risk, and respect for how integral each function is to the overall production process and performance event. Our curriculum offers a fully integrated course of study leading to a major or minor in theatre. (Please note: Major placed in abeyance effective fall 2011.)
Mission Statement
The Mission of the Department of Theatre at Millsaps College is to: Cultivate an environment that celebrates the breadth of our humanity, fosters open inquiry, and develops artistic excellence; Train ensemble-based theatre artists in a liberal arts framework; Enhance the educational, social, and cultural experience of our region through bold staging of works that span across cultures and ages.

A little history…
Leo Marks opened his jewelry store in downtown Toledo in 1916. After Leo passed on, his wife operated the business until it was sold to Philip Wasserstrom in 1962. Philip's son Joe is the current owner of Leo Marks Jewelers.
Philip found his passion in the jewelry business when he opened a jewelry store in Port Clinton, Ohio after World War II. Philip and his wife Rita had saved up the money to open the jewelry store while Philip was fighting in the famous Army Air Corp. The store that they opened was known as Philips Jewelers. While they only began their store with a few odds and ends, business began to thrive and Philip found himself buying up other jewelry stores in the Clinton area.
After some time, Philip's wife Rita began to miss her hometown friends and they decided to move back to Toledo. They purchased Leo Marks Jewelers at this time which was located at 508 Adams Street. Leo Marks remained there until 1978 when the store moved to the Southwyck Mall. In 1984, the store moved again, this time to the Westgate Shopping Center. As a massive overhaul began to take place at the Westgate location, Joe decided to move Leo Marks Jewelers to its current location on Secor Road in 2006.
The building where Leo Marks Jewelers resides today was a Wendy's restaurant when it was first purchased. While it not an inexpensive conversion, Joe believes that it was well worth it. Leo Marks Jewelers looks forward to staying at the Secor Road location for many years to come.
Philip's son Joe worked at the family business growing up during every Christmas season and during summer vacations. After high school, Joe attended Case Western Reserve and later Ohio State University where he graduated with a degree in industrial engineering. After spending a year and a half in California working for the elite General Dynamics Corporation, Joe moved back to Ohio where he earned an MBA from Bowling Green State in 1982. It was at this time that Joe joined the store full time. Joe's father Philip continued to work at the store until he was in his 80's. Philip passed away in 2007 at the age of 89.
Leo Marks today…
Today, Leo Marks Jewelers employs 13 full time staff members. Each staff member is highly trained each service that we provide. There are no part time staff members and none of the staff work on commission. Our staff members have an average seniority of 16.4 years with the company. The fact that none of the staff work on commission and the amount of time our staff spends with us is a far stretch away from the industry norms.
Customers who shop with Leo Marks or use any of our services refer us to everyone they know. Family members that shopped with Leo Marks Jewelers in the early days are now bringing their children and grandchildren to Leo Marks to experience the uniqueness in the jewelry business that Leo Marks offers. Customers feel like they are part of our family from the very first moment they walk through the door.
Leo Marks Jewelers provides financing options to their customers as well. No third party bank is used in the credit process- Leo Marks offers competitive credit plans to suit budgets and needs of all kinds. As an independent jeweler, Leo Marks is able to offer this exceptional service to their customers.
Leo Marks sells top of the line jewelry, is a jewelry buyer, offers custom designed jewelry, performs in house jewelry repair, in house jewelry modifications and jewelry appraisals. Leo Marks also offers their customers the option to borrow money against their jewelry. All of these services make Leo Marks the premier jewelry store in the Toledo Area.

Free viewing of Super Size Me Sunday
The documentary movie Super Size Me, addressing what many doctors are calling an epidemic of obesity among American children, will be shown free at the Performing Arts Center on Sunday, October 21 at 4 p.m.
The film follows independent filmmaker Morgan Spurlock as he embarks on a month-long diet of McDonalds fast food and gains more than 25 pounds, his cholesterol rises to dangerous levels and his liver nearly dives into the kind of failure seen in advanced alcoholics.
Though eating all meals at a fast food outlet is not something most people do, the experiment dramatically illustrated just how bad eating habits can and have been damaging to our health as consumers. A diet high in calories, whether because of the food itself or the portions, will lead to too much storage of energy in the form of fat.
Too much fat leads to becoming overweight, then obesity unless changes are made in lifestyle and diet. The point of the movie is that people who want to avoid obesity and the health risks that go along with it will also want to avoid relying on fast food as a source of healthy nutrition.
One in five children in the U.S. is now overweight, and the number continues to grow, doubling in the last 20 years, according to the medical journal Pediatric Adolescent Medicine. Though kids have fewer weight-related problems than adults, they are highly likely to continue to be overweight as adults. This greatly increases their risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke and some kinds of cancer.
The same increase in overweight kids can be seen in Blaine from measurements taken during physical education classes of body mass index, the ratio between a kid's weight and height. Assessment can be tricky with individual children since they tend to grow in spurts, but nationally and locally the overall trend is both convincing and alarming.
The most common causes of obesity in children are related to genetic factors, lack of exercise, unhealthy eating factors or a combination of all three. If a child's siblings or parents are overweight then there's a greater likelihood that they will be, too, and rarely will their weight be due to some kind of medical condition.
Lifestyle means diet and exercise, and there are many studies that conclude we, as a society, are eating more and doing less. The incidence of obesity in this country, 60 percent, exactly matches the incidence of the population that regularly get little or no exercise. On average Americans watch 24 hours of television each week, and that's usually not from a treadmill or the saddle of an exercise bike.
According to elementary PE teacher Dan Persse, the foods we eat should contain nutrients the body needs to function: carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. Carbohydrates (fruits, vegetables, grains) should represent about 58 percent of the calories we need each day and are a source of vitamins and minerals.
As a general rule, the darker the carbohydrate the more nutrients there are. Proteins (dairy, meats, and beans) should represent about 12 percent of one's daily calories, and are another source of vitamins and minerals. Fats (oils) should represent about 30 percent of the calories consumed each day. While fat has no nutritional value, fatty acids are necessary for the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K, provide vital protection for bones and organs and store energy.
A National Institutes of Health pamphlet called Take Charge of Your Health lists daily examples in both kind and amount for a healthy diet from five different groups. Six servings of bread (including cereals, rice and pasta), two of fruits, three of vegetables, two of milk (including yogurt and cheese) and two of meat (including chicken, fish, beans, eggs and nuts). The pamphlet urges teens to eat less fats, oils and sweets such as butter, margarine, oils, candy, high fat dressings and soft drinks as all of them contain little or no protein vitamins or minerals.
Two of the best sources of nutritional information and daily caloric needs for adults and kids can easily be found at myplate.gov and www.eatright.org.

Great Oiler Left Wingers
This is Esa Tikkanen. He would have to rank right up there on a list of all-time great left wingers who played the position for the Edmonton Oilers. Also on the list would be Mark Messier (played LW before moving to C, made the All-Star team) and Ryan Smyth.
- What 2 LW's in Oilers history would you add to Messier, Smyth and Tikkanen to make 5 in total? In what order would you rate them (as Oilers)? Does anyone on the current roster have the potential to make your top 5 down the line?

Jerrod Niemann has released "Only God Could Love You More" as the new single from his just-released album Free the Music. The song has been the most requested song from fans and industry insiders as the new single. Part of the song's charm may come from Jerrod's straight-ahead vocal delivery.
He says, "We didn't put any harmonies on it and used my original tracking vocal. 'Lover, Lover' had a bunch of harmony parts, so I thought it'd be a nice change to have zero here."

Jets rough up Colts
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ - The positive vibes generated in a sea of pink and orange a week earlier were drowned out in a wave of green Sunday afternoon.
After a young Colts team surprised many in the National Football League with a comeback win over the Packers on October 7th, but were humbled by a Jets team looking for redemption of their own.
New York finally found consistency on offense and smothered quarterback Andrew Luck in the Colts offense in a 35-9 victory Sunday afternoon at Met Life Stadium. New York running back Shonn Greene rushed for a career-high 161 yards and three-touchdowns in the victory.
Indianapolis falls to 2-3 on the season and will host the Browns next Sunday afternoon at 1 P.M. at Lucas Oil Stadium.
For a second consecutive week the Colts found themselves playing catch-up for most of the first half. After a first quarter Adam Vinatieri field goal gave the Colts and early lead the Jets found offensive traction, driving 80 yards in 14 plays late in the first and early in the second quarter.
Stephen Hill capped the drive with a five-yard touchdown catch from Mark Sanchez to give the Jets their first lead. New York would score on the following possession after a Luck interception gave them the ball at the Colts' 35-yard line. Greene would cap a short drive with a 10-yard touchdown to make it 14-3.
It appeared the Colts might have a bit of life towards the end of the half when Vinatieri booted a 50-yard field goal with 6:11 left in the quarter. But New York showed their element of surprise through Tim Tebow late in the half, as the quarterback took a direct snap on a punt and completed a 23-yard pass before the two minute warning.
The Jets made the most of the opportunity as Sanchez found Jason Hill for a five-yard touchdown to make it 21-6 at the break.
Unlike the Packers' game the Colts couldn't pick up any early second half momentum as the Colts' offense could only muster a pair of first downs. Greene would add his second touchdown of the day late in the quarter to push the lead to 28-6.
Vinatieri would add a field goal in the fourth quarter to pull the Colts within 19 points and the Colts were able to get the next drive inside the red zone. But Luck was intercepted by Joe McKnight in the endzone to end the Colts' threat to get back into the game.
After a Luck fumble, the Jets added their final points of the game on a two-yard touchdown run by Greene.Copyright © 2014, Hartford Courant

The EPA and the International Maritime Organization have announced stricter emissions regulations for ships operating in the www.pneumapaniagua.es waters off the coast of the U.S. and Canada.
Starting in 2012, ships within 200 nautical miles of cialis levitra the shores will either have to use cleaner, more expensive fuel that contains less sulfur or be equipped with scrubber devices that clean the sulfur dioxide from the exhaust. By 2016, new ships will have to use advanced emissions control systems.
California already implemented an emissions control zone within 24 nautical miles of its shore last year and http://my921.ca/buy-levitra-online-uk ships have tried avoiding the area. These new rules extend the control zone along most of North America and much farther out to cheapest levitra prescription sea, so avoidance won't be an option anymore.
The EPA says the the best place cheap levitra online emissions controls will reduce U.S. NOx emissions by 1.2 million tons annually and particulate matter emissions by 143,000 tons annually.

A vigil was held Wednesday night on the USI campus to remember Adrien Mowery, the student found dead of natural causes inside his car last week.
14 News has learned that Adrien Mowery had overcome a lot of obstacles to go back to school.
Adrien was born with a rare heart disease and in 2006 he had a heart transplant. Because of his health, he couldn't always attend class.
"Whenever you're on a campus of 10,000 students, it's easy to believe the lie that you're just a number, that you're just one of 10,000. No, every single student here is important," said student Erin Gillingham. "Every, all 10,000 of us are important, collectively, and by ourselves and we want to make sure if we lost a student, we want to make sure we take a moment to remember that student."
Adrien's sister also talked about the importance of organ donation. She says without Adrien's new heart she would have lost him six years ago.

Now we are experiencing the unfortunate results of the change.
For over 25 years, our seven trustees had been elected at-large from throughout the district.
Their terms were for four alternating years, four elected at one time and three others two years later.
Pressure (you could call it a threat) came from a county Latino organization, which claimed that minorities were disenfranchised by the at-large voting. Instead, the Patterson district and others in the county were urged to change their voting standards by areas – or be prepared to go to court.
So our sprawling school district was carved up into seven areas. To seek a board seat, candidates now have to reside in the area in which the term expires.
But the Patterson Unified School District elections traditionally have not drawn many candidates. Only when local issues heated the political atmosphere have we had spirited campaigning.
For instance, when four terms were expiring, it was not unusual to have only five or six candidates – and maybe four of those would be incumbents seeking re-election.
Our next school board election would have been in early November. Three terms are expiring and all three incumbents filed for re-election. There were no challengers, and thus the term "walk-over" is used. The three incumbents are automatically re-elected. None of their names will appear on the ballot.
Giving it some thought, one can conclude that the election by areas definitely favors the incumbents. Under the previous at-large procedure, a challenger could seek the position every two years and run against all incumbents on the ballot. Now it's necessary to wait four years.
As is the situation, this upcoming walk-over election, I predict we will see fewer local residents choosing to serve their community on the school board. I'm uncertain how this situation could have been avoided, but find it disturbingly unfortunate.
Our federal government announced last week that it is cutting our military aid to Egypt because of the brutal crackdown in that country.
Here's a unique thought:
Why don't we just eliminate military aid to all countries? Let them battle with the armament they presently have. There's already enough weaponry on this planet to completely annihilate every living thing. Why are we supplying more?
Just think: We could apply our military aid funding to other countries to the reopening of our national parks. Maybe even open some new ones. So simple a solution.
But wait! It would require an affirmative vote of Congress. Ain't likely to happen.
West Siders Coleen Sanguinetti and Sue Henderson have just returned from a pleasure trip to France – but couldn't see all the sites on their agenda. They were closed because of our government's park shutdown, such as the Normandy Beaches U.S. Museum and Cemetery. You'd never think that our shut down here would affect other countries as well.
And then there's the National Nature Preserve along the San Joaquin River southeast of Vernalis — only about a dozen miles from Patterson. Few locals have ever checked it out, but local Boy Scouts have used it for interesting day hikes and its several miles of trails.
The preserve has no resident staff – only a small parking area, simple restrooms, and several picnic tables restricted to daytime use. And yet, when the Scouts arrived last Saturday morning, the gate was locked, barricades were up, and a sign indicated the federal closure had hit close to home. Bummer.
The good news is that Patterson MAY have a community calendar for 2014.
The bad news is that only three sets of dates have been received from the 52 local organizations, schools, the Apricot Fiesta, and churches. That trio is the Federated Church, Patterson High School and the Rotary Club.
You can't beat the price. The listing of dates, as many as you want, is free. Thus, the Boy Scouts who are undertaking this big project are anxiously waiting for replies to their paperwork. Their deadline is Nov. 1 – two weeks from today.
Anyone needing forms should give me a call. I'm in the book. Yes, under S.
A reader responding to my suggestion last week that those wanting to form a third political party line up from Patterson to Westley came up with this idea:
Why not start the line in Westley back toward Patterson so that some of us wouldn't have so far to travel.
There are some real thinkers out there.
When the Cardinals and Dodgers played 13 innings late last week, I was convinced from the 11th frame on that St. Louis was going to pull it out. That's when I noticed that in the Dodgers' dugout, they had run out of sunflower seeds.
And when will we be getting electronic umpires to call balls and strikes? Not soon, I suppose. Probably not in my lifetime. But I'll bet it happens someday.
With its elegantly renovated stadium to pay for, I don't suppose Cal alums would allow its football program to be shut down. So the agony will continue.
Apparently the Raiders don't have a 3rd-and-48 in their playbook.
Fans got their money's worth last Saturday when Massachusetts Maritime beat Western Connecticut 54-53 in a game that was closer than the score indicates.
More woes in the job market. Here's the latest from our readers:
"I became a professional fisherman but found I couldn't live on my net income."
"I got a job with a pool maintenance company but found the work too draining."
Keep sending 'em.

The JDL & Act For Canada Present: An Evening With Gavin Boby, from the Law & Freedom Foundation, U.K.
Place: Toronto Zionist Centre
Address: 788 Marlee Road (just south of Lawrence Avenue)
Metro line: Lawrence West subway station (University Line)
Cost: $10.00 at the door; students free
The National Post just disclosed that a Canadian Security Intelligence Service's (CSIS) reportstated that "a large number of venues" that are used by "Islamist extremists" are "radicalizing Canadians" across Canada. In this Canadian context Gavin Boby's message is even more relevant.
The Muslim Brotherhood, operating in Canada, just purchased a 10,000 square foot building in a Montreal neighborhood. On record, this will be the 4th real estate acquisition in a very short time span. Last fall, the Muslim Association of Canada (MAC) was also involved with the establishment of a new Mosque in Quebec City that also needed rezoning. In Edmonton, the Lessard community countered the establishment of a MAC run school in their neighborhood for fear of radicalization. Again, several zoning laws have already been transgressed by the local MAC- run Mosque and in several new Saudi and Muslim Brotherhood linked Mosques that have been built. InOttawa, MAC is also administering several venues, one of which is the Abraar school that made international headlines because "two teachers (…) who praised a pupil's essay about killing Jews with hand grenades" were suspended.
Why should we be concerned about the Muslim Brotherhood operating in Canada? The former Chair in Islamic Studies at the University of Alberta described how the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood "hoped to change the status of the Mosque, bringing it from a static place of worship to a center of Islamic revolution. "(pp. 76-77)
Youssef Qaradawi unconditionally endorsed by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood operating in Canada describes the role of the Mosque in these words: "To guide public policy of a Nation, raise awareness of critical issues and reveal it's enemies. From ancient times the Mosque has had a role in urging Jihad for the sake of Allah."
This will be a very special evening so please mark your calendars!
Hosted by The Jewish Defense League in conjunction with ACT! For Canada

Creating Critical Classrooms
K-8 Reading and Writing With an Edge
By Mitzi Lewison, Christine Leland, Jerome Harste
Foreword by Linda Christensen
Routledge – 2008 – 392 pages
Routledge – 2008 – 392 pages
This book for elementary and middle school teachers and literacy methods courses articulates a powerful theory of critical literacy instruction. Critical literacy practices encourage students to use language to question the everyday world, interrogate the relationship between language and power, analyze popular culture and media, understand how power relationships are socially constructed, and consider actions that can be taken to promote social justice. By providing both a model for critical literacy instruction and many examples of how critical practices can be enacted in daily school life in elementary and middle school classrooms, Creating Critical Classrooms meets a huge need for a practical, theoretically based text on this topic.
"Creating Critical Classrooms provides a curricular conscience to teachers. The collection of vignettes, thought pieces, and invitations pulls out a chair at the table as teachers and professors discuss classroom practice in light of critical theory…. This work…demonstrates exemplary literacy practices, but also demonstrates education that 'liberates' instead of 'domesticates' or 'alienates.'…. [It] is culturally sensitive, critically astute—and absolutely essential for teachers and teacher educators today."

EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — A Twin Cities area sportswear company will have a hand in trying to keep NFL players warm during Sunday's Super Bowl.
WSI Sports, of Eagan, makes cold weather undergarments for athletes by using a fiber that expands and heats up when it comes in contact with skin. Joel Wiens launched the company 24 years ago with money he got from his high school graduation. Wiens says he hit the big time when the San Francisco 49ers used his gear for a frigid January playoff game at Lambeau Field in Wisconsin.
Wiens tells KMSP-TV (http://bit.ly/1mWUsiw ) his company got its 'dream' order last week. The Seattle Seahawks wanted what their rivals had for Sunday's game when temperatures in East Rutherford, N.J. are expected to be in the 30s. The company is also outfitting the U.S. ski jump team at the Olympics.

If you've got an amazing talent, NBC's "America's Got Talent" is looking for you!
Auditions will be held Wednesday, Jan. 29 at the Marriott in downtown Greensboro.
The show is looking for variety acts -- illusionists, acrobats, aerialists, hybrid-jugglers or any "out-of-the-box" talent -- dance groups, drill or dance teams, bands, or anything else you can imagine.
