No. 1 Walsingham's status grows in state independent basketball
WILLIAMSBURG — Billy Barnes rarely refers to wins and losses when speaking about the highs and lows of 20 years coaching boys basketball at Walsingham Academy. An inveterate phone caller to former players, stars and reserves alike, Barnes measures success in how his players turn out as people.

No one reads William March
[READER SUBMISSION…sorry I lost track of his name!]
I have been researching and writing about William March for around 4 years now, but no one else even knows he exists (outside of the Bad Seed film mostly). His WWI anti-war novel "Company K" was hailed as one of the finest war novels ever written (by Graham Greene, nonetheless), but he has faded into obscurity. I authored his wikipedia page, as there was none to be found when I went searching…I find it quite depressing that someone who was heralded as "the unrecognized genius of our time" would simply cease to be relevant.

It's interesting how the Conservatives are using by-elections to paint a rosier picture on how popular they are. During the summer there were 7 vacant seats in the House of Commons as result of resignations throughout the year. A number of seats had to be filled because seats can only remain vacant for 180 days.
The Conservative government held by-elections on September 17 but only in 3 Quebec ridings. That is because the other 4 ridings are pretty safe Liberal seats. The Liberals lost their Montreal stronghold in Outremont to Thomas Mulcair, the NDP's star recruit. The loss was not unexpected. In the Saguenay, Conservative candidate Denis Lebel sailed to victory in the sovereigntist-rich riding of Roberval-Lac-Saint-Jean. Signifying that the Conservatives were the first choice federalist party in Quebec. And in Saint-Hyacinthe-Bagot, east of Montreal, Bloc Québécois candidate Ève-Mary Thai Thi Lac beat Conservative Bernard Barré.
The Conservatives have used the by-election results to demonstrate that the Liberals are a mess and the media and public have partly bought in. That's not to say that the Liberals don't have problems.
The Conservatives want to avoid holding by-elections in the remaining 4 vacant ridings and are hoping that their government loses a confidence motion before the by-elections must be held at the end of the year. The four ridings are:
- Toronto Centre where Bill Graham has resigned and Bob Rae is the Liberal nominee
- Willowdale where Jim Peterson has resigned and Martha Hall Findlay is the Liberal nominee
- Vancouver Quadra where Steven Owens has resigned
- Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill River where Gary Merasty has resigned
In fact, Graham and Peterson intentionally resigned in the summer in anticipation of the September by-elections. The Liberals didn't expect that the Conservative would out-maneuver them by only holding the 3 by-elections. Obviously, the Conservatives don't want to see the two failed Liberal leadership candidates in the Commons before the next general election. Also the 4 potential Liberal wins will remove some of the lustre from the results on September 17 where the Conservative in fact only gained one seat.

Media Release
The Hon Dr Sharman Stone
Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage
Federal Member for Murray
28 September 2001
Six rare and endangered areas of grassland on Victorian properties are to become part of the National Reserve System Program after the Federal Government contributed over $502,000 to preserve and protect them.
Sharman Stone, Parliamentary Secretary for the Environment and Heritage made the announcement at the Balmattum property near Violet Town today, where two threatened plant communities will be preserved with the help of Natural Heritage Trust funding.
"Today's announcement means that nearly 1,000 hectares of additional land across Victoria will be protected under the National Reserve System. This will mean the area will be conserved for the diversity of its plant and animal life", Sharman Stone said.
Sharman Stone said that by helping to purchase 220 hectares of woodland reserve at Balmattum, the Federal Government was protecting the habitat of two threatened plant communities.
"The Gilgai Plain Woodland/Wetland Mosaic and Plains Grassy Woodland are under threat. Less than 1% of the original grassland and grassy woodlands that existed in southeastern Australia in 1788 remains today."
"Most of our grasslands across Victoria have been ploughed or fertilised to provide the cropping and grazing that has given us a great standard of living. The time has come, however, to try and keep some of the last few pockets of grassland spaces that once covered huge areas", Sharman Stone said.
"This is why the Federal Government has committed $502,000 to purchase these six areas to add to our national system of protected areas".
"Almost 34,000 hectares have been added to the National Reserve System in our region since the beginning of the Natural Heritage Trust in 1996. This significant achievement is all the more impressive as purchases of land for conservation are rare in rural Victoria due to high land productivity and low landholder turnover".
"We are still finding the commercial value of some of these native grasses as drought and fire resistant species. However even if the native grasses are not premium feed for sheep or cattle, they are often essential for the sustaining of our native bird, insect and reptile species", Sharman Stone said.
Burrah Burrah - (69ha) Protects an example of the Grampians Alluvial Terraces Woodland (Red Gum)/ Red Gum ephemeral wetland ecosystem. This is the only location for this ecosystem in Victoria. Significant species sighted on the property include the Brolga and Great Egret. The reserve forms part of a strategic plan to ensure comprehensive, adequate and representative reservation within the Victorian Volcanic Plains Bioregion. Adjoins the Grampians National Park on three sides.
Bendoc - (233ha) Protects the largest area of native montane grassland and grassy woodland remaining in the South Eastern Highlands IBRA region in Victoria, and probably the most intact example of Monaro Plains grassland in Australia. The property contains the most southerly extent of this vegetation community, which is currently unreserved in Victoria's and only represented in two flora reserves in NSW.
Gillingall (Greenhills) - (60ha) Protects native grasslands on basaltic soils near Buchan. The property contains one of the last remaining areas of native grassland within the South East Corner IBRA region, including the largest population in Australia of the nationally vulnerable Austral Toad-flax Thesium australe.
Parrie Yalloak - (200ha) Protects one of the highest quality examples of the Plains Grassy Woodland in the region. This broad vegetation type is one of Victoria's most depleted ecosystems, with only 3.4% of its original cover remaining in the State. The property has been added to the Grampians National Park.
Balmattum - (220ha) (Location of Launch) The only relatively large woodland reserve in the south-eastern Riverina. It contains the habitat for two threatened plant communities - the Gilgai Plain Woodland/Wetland Mosaic of which only 2.31% is reserved in the Riverina; and the Plains Grassy Woodland of which only 0.17% is reserved in the Riverina. In 1993 tree cover in the Victorian Riverina encompassed only 6% of the region and less than 1% of the original grassland and grassy woodland vegetation complexes remain.
Terrick Terrick East - (210ha) Was one of largest remaining grassland sites on private land in the Riverina. It contains two vegetation units regarded as high priority for conservation - the Western Northern Plains Grassland Complex and the Gilgai Plains Complex. The reserve contains identified habitat for the Brolga and Plains Wanderer.

Life is a movie.
I got into the movie business to be different from all my friends because they were going into business school or engineering. I wanted to stand out. To be different; to not feel like and outsider. Now that i'm in the "biz" I found that there are cliques. Feels just like high school all over again. Isn't that ironic? For someone who wanted to be different, it's like going back to square one.
December 31, 2011: Another blog I wrote awhile ago. When I was writing this, I felt so frustrated with the things I saw and the way things were going in my career as a production assistant. From the ways things were going, I made a promise to myself. One day, in the future, when i'm doing okay for myself, i'm going to change somethings in the indie film business. I going to try and made a difference. Someway, somehow, i;m going to change someone's life. I don't know how yet, but I will. Trust and believe me.

Major Victory: TSA to Remove Naked Body Scanners from ALL US Airports
Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society
Waking Times
Mass activism combined with a number of successful public awareness campaigns regarding the TSA and its naked body scanners have finally paid off, forcing the agency to remove all of its naked body scanners after its software partner OSI Systems Inc. couldn't find a less invasive form of naked body scanner software that didn't save such a detailed image of the naked body. A change that Congress required under a near deadline.
In other words, the famous body scanners that are known to actually save images of your naked body (many of which leaked on to the net) are actually so majorly intrusive that even the software company itself is saying that despite modifications the scanner system will still capture a naked body in detail. Amazingly, they could not even re-code their software sufficiently enough to even reduce the obscene nature of the scanners. The conclusion ended the $5 million contract between OSI and the TSA.
All 174 Rapiscan machines, which remain after an initial reduction of 76 scanners last year, will now be removed. The TSA will also be absorbing the costs. The agency will also still be using other 'less invasive' scanners throughout some airports that should be crusaded against as well. It is unfortunate that the TSA will attempt to pull a fast one here, but with any luck the momentum from the naked body scanners will carry over.
Scanners Banished Due to Activism and Spreading the Word
It is thanks to individuals like you spreading the word and a number of great alternative news outlets that this announcement has been made, as the TSA's scanners have been targeted by mass activism on such a grand scale that their PR rescue mission simply could not perform adequate damage control required to squelch the voice of reason. Through mass campaigns of opting out, awareness over the serious health concerns surrounding the TSA's naked body scanners, and grassroots activism, this great feat has been accomplished.
I have personally been speaking out against the TSA body scanners for years, and we have been covering the concerning facts behind the scanners every step of the way. From the 1998 report that found naked body scanners were causing an unknown but considerable amount of cancers each year, to the disturbing cases in which pedophile TSA agents have been caught with porn on their work computers. And of course it's also important to remember the amateur engineer who managed to get by the scanners with metal objects.
Overall, the scanners have proven to be not only ineffective but downright dangerous. Outside of the serious health effects which include cancer and a host of other conditions, they are actually not even able to pick up potential 'weapons' as proficiently as a simple metal detector. Opting out of the machines, which can be done legally by merely telling the TSA 'agent' (who is really supposed to be a public 'servant'), also sparks an absurd amount of concern and paranoia from the TSA staff.
I have personally waited over 30 minutes to be patted down after opting out of the radiation scanners and was watched closely by nearby staff as if I was a criminal arrested on multiple charges — all for opting out of a cancer-causing machine that even top radiation experts decades ago admitted was churning out yearly cancer cases.
Activism Works
The bottom line here is that activism works, and spreading awareness through sharing essential information far and wide really can result in major changes. Sounding the alarm across the nation has led to an intensely watchful group of informed citizens that hound the TSA on every possible occasion into submission, leading to the Congressional decision that has now led to the removal of 174 naked body scanners. It's essential that we understand the power of truth and continue to spread the word about issues like this one. After all, it may make the largest difference at an entirely unexpected time.

We still have a long row to hoe.
Iow no holding accountable the people who have irradiated millions with this technology, no investigation of the fraud and faked tests, no taxpayer refund for the huge cost of this Nazi tech, and no collection and destruction of all the archived images who-knows-where. Just allow these criminals to slip away and begin their next project against Americans' health and liberty. Further, no dismantling of the TSA – which is expanding hugely beyond airports to lock down the US as a police state. What of the roving backscatter X-ray vans they're now using on US streets?
A very small success, and a very large failure. There isn't much to be proud of here, just weasels backpeddling slightly to regroup.
I would further like to see a comparison with the scanners replacing them. What are the health effects of millimeter wave scanners? Are they really any safer? What tests have been conducted? And what kinds of images do these machines produce internally? Surely they must still be very detailed. This may be just PR spin and not represent any real change – the TSA still exists and is still controlled by the same Nazis.
I know a guy, and we are not friends, he works for TSA. He is an old retired man and he took the job with TSA. He is an absolute pervert and laughs about feeling up girls. He also loves to feel up Jacksonville Jaguar football players. He thinks it "awesome" as he told me this he was making the motion of brushing an mans penis to one side.
I didn't realize there was another John here, just saying.
This sounds promising but research will show that they (TSA) already posess small handheld versions of the same technology used in the larger tera-hertz machines.As a passenger proceeds to be screened,they will be completely unaware.So nothing has really changed.

The Cincinnati Reds have encountered their fair share of obstacles in 2014, but the National League Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers haven't been one of them. The Reds attempt to make up more ground in their division at home Saturday when they eye their sixth win in eight tries this season against the Brewers. Joey Votto, Jay Bruce, Devin Mesoraco and Aroldis Chapman have all spent significant time on the disabled list, contributing to Cincinnati's lackluster 35-37 start.
Although Cincinnati saw its season-high five-game winning streak surprisingly snapped during a three-game sweep in San Diego, it won for the ninth time in 13 contests after defeating the Brewers 4-2 in Friday's series opener. As the Reds moved within six games of the division lead for the first time in more than a month, Milwaukee matched a season high with its fourth straight setback. The Brewers, who still own one of the best road records in the NL at 27-18, have dropped four of their last five and 17 of their last 23 meetings in Cincinnati.
TV: 4:10 p.m. ET, FSN Wisconsin (Milwaukee), FSN Ohio (Cincinnati)
PITCHING MATCHUP: Brewers RH Matt Garza (5-5, 4.10 ERA) vs. Reds RH Homer Bailey (8-4, 4.39)
Despite recording one of his worst efforts of the season, Garza posted his first win in four starts following last Saturday's 7-4 victory over the Colorado Rockies. The No. 25 overall pick of the 2005 draft gave up four runs on a season high-tying nine hits over 6 2/3 innings to finish June with a 3-1 record and 2.88 ERA. Garza settled for a no-decision in a June 13 outing versus the Reds after yielding five runs (one earned) over seven frames and is 1-3 with a 5.45 ERA in seven all-time starts against them.
Bailey took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning before settling for a three-hit shutout in Sunday's 4-0 triumph over the San Francisco Giants. The 28-year-old, who had surrendered 11 runs during a three-game winless streak, walked one and struck out seven while notching his sixth career complete game and fourth career shutout. Bailey did not factor into the decision in his head-to-head meeting with Garza on June 13 and has struggled mightily in 18 all-time outings against the Brewers, going 4-7 with a 5.24 ERA.
1. Bruce, who went 7-for-12 and posted four straight multi-hit efforts from June 25-28, is 0-for-20 since - the longest hitless stretch of his career.
2. With 39 extra-base hits and 37 strikeouts, Milwaukee C Jonathan Lucroy is the only NL hitter - and one of four major-leaguers - with more extra-base hits than strikeouts.
3. Reds CF Billy Hamilton homered for the fourth time in 25 games Friday after hitting one over his first 55 contests.
PREDICTION: Reds 6, Brewers 5

Couldn't find COD: Reflex for Wii at the 2 TRU's by me. I did pick up a $5 off coupon at TRU for all COD games for all systems. Valid 5/03/11-7/09/11. Doesn't say anything about not using the coupon on clearance or sale prices so I guess it I could have got the game for $1.99 if they had it. Found the coupons on a COD display endcap. Even if you don't use it now you should pick one up as you might use it in the future as it doesn't expire for until July.

The Online Bridge:
Issue 13, April 2006
making a difference through obedience, faith, and love
It's a jungle out there!
by Pauline Bruhn
I remember our Baccalaureate speaker saying
"unless you've been called to go, you are called to stay." I thought
great...I am certain I haven't been called to go so I'll stay." I realize
now that this was the first step in the Lord really touching my heart for
foreign missions service. In 1997 I went with my church to Ecuador to
work with HCJB on a short-term team project. It was during that time
that the Lord really touched my heart to "go." We worked on building the
foundation for a work-team house in Papallacta. As you drive in to the
area you look down and see the hydro-electric plant, I heard a voice so
clear saying "you could do this." I turned around, but no one behind me
had said it. The voice came again, "you could do this." I thought Lord,
you can't be serious. Yes, I can do it for two weeks. "I'm here for two
weeks, you couldn't possibly expect more than that, could you?"
During our two week stay in Ecuador. I realized
more and more that the Lord was leading me to full-time Christian
service and how short our lives are in comparison to God's whole scheme,
and I needed to be busy about doing His work. I laid down my life for
Christ on that trip and decided that I had been the one to say "no" to
missions, but that wasn't my job to do, it was His.
I returned back home I was informed that the
company I was working for would be closing. So now what? I sent my
application to HCJB and prayed that the Lord open only the correct door.
The door that opened was for Missions. In October of 1997, I attended
orientation and was accepted with HCJB World Radio. I spent the next
year raising support to be able to "go."
In January of 1999 I left for Costa Rica, where
I attended language school, and in January of 2000 made my way to
Ecuador. I am a Registered Nurse and am currently in charge of the
Pharmacy here at Hospital Vozandes del Oriente in Shell. I never thought
I would be a missionary on the edge of the Amazon jungle, let alone in a
place with so much historic significance in the Mission world. The story
of the 5 missionaries that were martyred by the Auca's (Waorani) is a
widely known story especially among missionaries. At times, I am struck
by the work that is done here, and how the Lord truly takes care of us
and works in the situations here. So often, He has taught me when we as
medical professionals think a situation is hopeless, He always shows us
that He is the one who is in control and, more often than I can count, the
patient always pulls through and does well.
Life on the edge of the Amazon jungle has many
rewards and many challenges. My greatest blessings while serving on the
field has been being able to share the Love of the Lord Jesus Christ
with people, and seeing them come to know Jesus as their personal Savior.
I have been able to share peace with people who are suffering and
praying for patients before they go into surgery, or when a loved one is
ill. The biggest challenges have come when dealing with children, when a
family may not have the funds to keep the child in the hospital because
they have several others at home. To my Western thinking it just doesn't
compute, but I have learned that each one of us, whether small or big in
the kingdom, is special to Christ. We are called to be obedient to His
call, whether He has called us to "go" and serve, or "stay" and serve.
The most important thing is that we are obedient to where He has placed
us and doing what He has called us to do.
Read more from Pauline on the HCJB World Radio website or
take a tour of the Hospital Vozandes del Oriente.

Now that the hyped-up Christmas panic has passed, your living room is vaguely back in order, and your fridge stocked with enough leftovers for 2 weeks, it's time to do some stuff you don't normally have time to do…. like catch the tram into town and see an art show, perhaps!?
I have been meaning to get to the Ricky Swallow exhibition at the NGV in Fed Square for soooo long. He's such a superstar – at just 35, Swallow has won international acclaim for his stunning lifelike woodcarving sculptures and haunting watercolours…. and even though he's a US resident right now, we just won't let Mr Swallow forget where he came from! (ie Melbourne!)

Yankee Doodle Dandy was one of the best World War II-era patriotic propaganda films, and it has proven itself enduringly popular in the decades following its release. The film succeeds almost entirely on the performance of James Cagney as legendary song-and-dance performer George M. Cohan, although significant credit should also be given to director Michael Curtiz, who expertly stages each scene to display the talents of his star. The film features an over-the-top framing device in which Cohan tells his life's story in flashback to President Franklin Roosevelt. The story is effectively fiction, using only the outline of Cohan's life and some of his songs as reference points. The musical sequences are among the best in any film of the era. The film was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, and won three, including Best Actor for Cagney. The real-life Cohan died shortly after the film's release, living long enough to see it and like it despite, or perhaps because of, its lack of accuracy about his life.

NY Dem. Calls Supporter of Opponent 'N' Word
January 9, 2013 | Filed Under Anti-Americanism, Anti-Semitism, Democrats/Leftists, Ethics, Liberals, New York, New York City, Progressives, Warner Todd Huston | Comments Off
-By Warner Todd Huston
A Democrat candidate for a seat on New York's Uptown City Council is turning to race baiting as his primary campaign strategy and recently went all in using the "N" word repeatedly to attack a supporter of his opponent.
Thomas Lopez-Pierre is running for the Uptown City Council seat being vacated by the term-limited Robert Jackson and is outrageously relying on anti-Semitic rhetoric to attack his opponent, Mark Levine. Taking his campaign into racial division, Lopez-Pierre said that Levine would "damage" the community because he is a "white, Jewish candidate."
But Lopez-Pierre has radically upped his racebaiting with a nasty email he sent to an African American supporter of opponent Levine.
In a vile email, Lopez-Pierre told Levine supporter Brian Benjamin that he was an "uncle Tom N****r b***h," and went on to say that Benjamin was a "N****r b***h" that had "sold out the Black people of Harlem."
"I would hope that one day you would give me the legal grounds to b***h slap you," Lopez-Pierre taunted.
In his last line, Lopez-Pierre accused Mr. Benjamin of engaging in sexual relations with white, Jewish men.
These aren't Lopez-Pierre's only eyebrow raising actions. Lopez-Pierre has a long, troubled history. In 2004, he announced his plans to create a Harlem-based social club for up-and-coming African Americans but the whole enterprise had a decidedly sexist bent. While women would be allowed in, Lopez-Pierre promised that no fat women would be allowed to join, nor would any women over 35 years of age.
After this egregious email containing repeated use of the "N" word, Rusty Weiss pointed out that the very city council that Lopez-Pierre wants to join has already symbolically banned the use of the "N" word. One wonders how Lopez-Pierre imagines he'll fit in with such a rarefied body.

Tattoo done by Jodi Thomas at the Elephant Nature Park in Thailand.
I got the tattoo of an elephant there named Jokia which means Eye from Heaven. She was born around the 1960 and was rescued in 1999 from illegal logging. During the time she was logging she was pregnant. One day she was pulling a long up a hill and had the baby. Unable to check to see if her baby was okay it fell down the hill and did not make it. Jokia, deeply traumatized by this event, refused to work. As a result her mahout(owner) blinded her on two separate occasions. When she arrived to the Elephant Nature Park, Mae Perm, the oldest and first elephant at the park, immediately came up to her using her trunk to check Jokia's eyes. Since then they have been inseparable. Mae Perm always showing Jokia around.
she's perfect<3

Lion by May From Twins Tattoo (Malaga, Spain)
This is my first tattoo(a few weeks old, now) done by Cameron at Atomic Tattoo in Austin, TX. I went in with my best friend to get complimentary tattoos and I couldn't be happier with it/wouldn't change a thing.
"Life is like photography, you develop from the negatives…"
This is my first tattoo and I love it. I found this image and fell in love with it, I got my tattoo that same day. I'm a photographer and I've always wanted a tattoo that represented exactly what I love about a photograph, and this explains it all.
Photographs last forever, and they make memories last forever. I've always had a passion for film photography over digital because of how connected you become to your work in the process.
The infinity strip also represents my mother.
Done at Big Joe's in White Plains, NY.
This was my first tattoo and i sat for four hours all at once through it :)

finally finished. It says 'I am the anchor', a line from my fiance's favourite song.
The All Seeing Pizza Pie done by Joel Leblanc at Hell Or High Water Tattoos in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada.

The Akron suburb of Woodridge debated school building issues for most of their meeting last week. But the
superintendent wanted to talk about some nuts and bolts good news
as well. Such as the great work being done to make sure all third graders pass the reading test and move on to fourth grade, explaining what Common Core means for the district and how good the new standards are, and that the district is ready for PARCC exams. Nice. (Akron Online)
How is this possible?! As noted in the above story, there are plenty of high-level resources available to districts to help them reach the goals of the Third Grade Reading Guarantee. How, then, did
that train-wreck of a volunteer reading tutoring program in Akron
that we mentioned last week get over 100 kids signed up? (Akron Beacon Journal)
What do you think of when you hear the term "foreign language immersion school"? It's a school for folks who want their children to learn a foreign language, right? Unless that term has changed meanings over the years (could be, I'm kinda old), I think that Toledo Public Schools may be unfamiliar with the concept as they seem to think that a Spanish Immersion School is mainly for children who speak Spanish as their primary language. While the
effort to reach out to the growing number of Spanish-speaking families in Toledo is very important
, a different name (International School, Welcome Center, etc.) seems to be in order before the school opens its doors. (Toledo Blade)
Springfield City Schools has committed up to $250,000 in local tax money to
an alternative program which appears to have been very helpful in getting at-risk students across the stage
with a diploma. (Springfield News-Sun)

More than half of the songs on Modern Vampires of the City are about young people who hyperbolically conflate adulthood with death, or at least with permanently surrendering a sense of possibility and license for recklessness. Koenig's characters sense doors closing behind them at every turn, and feel the weight of decisions they might have not considered to be particularly important even just a few years ago. For his protagonists, YOLO isn't a declaration of freedom; it's a nagging pressure to make the most of their finite youth.
I wrote an essay about Vampire Weekend's new album, which is so far my favorite record of 2013. I've been dying to talk about it for weeks now; I'm pretty happy with how this came out.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
seems like the best school in the area, hard to say anything negative, most teachers are good
Unbelievable! To call Russian parents obnoxious. I will report it as a harassment . If u r Russian , you are a shame to the community . If not, then you need to apologize and turn to your own community and examine what is wrong with you Good luck with your miserable attitude
My child is at this school in K. It is a fight every morning to get her to go to school, I do not know what is going on when I ask her teacher if someone is bothering she tells me no. I feel this school puts a lot of pressure on kids for no reason!
My son attended this school for 2 years, the school as a whole is average. But some individual teachers are very good. The special needs department is pretty amazing! I will say, when Hurricane Sandy hit, the school was affected and they gave out backpacks with supplies to all of the children. That was very thoughtful and showed the schools heart!
I agree with other posts, that biggest problem to the school is its principal Ms Maloney and to lesser extend her right hand Ms. Palicci. Their authoritarian style and vindictive personalities make kids and teachers afraid to say something that might provoke Maloney"s anger. There is a rumor that complaining about her to authorities will not help as she has a supporter (relative or friend) i=very high in administration. A lot of parents chose to move to suburbs only because of the atmosphere in the school. Its funny to see 5 or 6 comments on this board posted on the same day by Maloney and her buddies. School got C rating on school report. Just wondering if DOE sees this messages. My kid will be out of school next year, thanks god.
Administration petrifies their students. Extremely hierarchical structure. The principal has her favorites, all others are mistreated. Some very bad teachers. Not healthy social and emotional environment.
Just like with any school, if the teacher is decent, your child will be more or less happy with the school. Unfortunately, teachers are allowed to raise their voice (more like scream) at kids and there is nothing you can do about it. Many parents have tried reaching out to the school officials without any success. You child can literally hate school after PS100. It is not the same school environment as years ago. The current principal, Ms. Moloney, is extremely rude and will not address any of your concerns unless ofcourse you bring expensive gifts. Even that might not help. If you have issues, save yourself a trip as you will leave the school aggravated with nothing resolved. Just like someone already mentioned, arrival and dismissal times are extremely unorganized and quite honestly, pretty unsafe. Anyone can just walk right up to the school entrance doors where the kids enter the school, causing a lot chaos. The security is non-existant. Some people walk right into the school without the security asking to sign in. I honestly do not understand how this school got an 8/10 ratings. should be a 5 max.
Do not attempt. Poor education, no hands on learning. the principal is horrible. Mediocre teachers. Poor socio-emotional environment. Parental voice is not considered.
I am about to send my youngest to this school. My older son is going to enter 2nd grade. I have to say, I am very impressed about the quality of education here, and the environment of the school. My son is learning so much! Even though the school does not have a g&t program, I feel the quality of instruction is comparable to a gifted program. The only drawback to this school was lack of recess--but that is getting corrected next year as they are building a new playground.
There are numerous problem areas in this school, the main one being the principal-Mrs. Maloney. She is rude, unapproachable and condescending. She influences her staff in a negative way and does not help parents resolve any issues that occur between students and their peers, or students and their teachers. Mrs. Maloney has a negative impact on students' grades, as she coerces teachers to lower the grades of students due to lateness or absence, even though the student has straight A's across the board. The teachers my child had thus far have not provided a strong academic foundation what-so-ever. They do not challenge our children and do not support and are not involved with the parent to help the child educationally in any way. The school's overall environment is not a positive one. My daughter has not had a happy moment since she stepped into the school. All 3 teachers have yelled at her and provide no support, nor do they explain thoroughly what is required with an absence of mentoring. Homework assignments are posted late or at the end of the day. I would strongly recommend parents thinking long and hard before considering P.S. 100-Coney Island. Shame on Maloney and staff.
My child has been in this amazing school since pre-k. PS-100 is one of the most strongest schools around. The teachers are very helpfull and are always willing to work with you & your child. Mrs. Moloney is just terrific. Very approachable who care about the welfare for each student and staff member. A great enviornment for any one to be in.
I am a volunteer at PS100 and have been a member the Executive PTA Board and the School Leadership Team for several years. My younger daughter is graduating from PS100 this year and I will be leaving the school with a heavy heart. My older daughter as well as myself attended PS100 and we will always have very fond memories. The Teachers, Staff and all Administrators at the school are there for the children. The education is excellent and on top of the children s progress. More parents need to be involved in there Childs education and extra activities that take place during the schools hours. Mrs. Moloney came to PS100 a few years ago and embraced the building as if it was her own home. Mrs. Moloney also has an open door policy, she will address an issue any parent might have immediately. I wish more parents would come to the meetings and ask any questions or concerns they might have directly to the school instead of assuming the worst. I will miss PS100 very much in June 2012.
My daughter is in 5th grade in P.S. 100 and my son graduated from P.S. 100 years ago and is now in High School. The teachers in this school are beyond excellent. They time with your kids,they nurture and make sure they understand the work. Parent's complain about too much homework and in my opinion it is because it interfere's with their plans. The kids get an appropriate amount of homework, which prepares them for middle school and high school. The Principal and the staff have an open door policy for any parents to discuss anything. I have been an active PTA executive board member and I have seen parents come into the school yelling and acting inappropriate because they don't agree with something. That is not the right way to handle any issues. There is little to no parent involvement but these parents who don't volunteer at the school are the first to criticize and complain. There is gym and there is a dance class so the kids do get recess. I have been in the building almost daily for the last 11 years and believe me the lunch time is anything but silent. Mrs. Moloney and the rest of the administration has made our school a wonderful learning environment for our kids.
When my daughter walked into P.S.100 in September 2009 for her first public school classroom experience as a kindergarten student, I too walked into the school system and offered my time and services. I became a member of the Student Leadership Team (SLT) comprised of smart and passionate parents, teachers and administrators about the school and the pupils learning experience. As part of the Parks and Recreation Committee, we set a goal and got to work quickly to fulfill this goal which was to obtain an outdoor space that was safe for learning and playing based on an on-going request from the parents of P.S. 100. I'm happy to announce that with the help of Principal Moloney, the Borough Commissioner Jeffreys and Councilman Recchia, the pupils of P.S.100 will have a new outdoor facility adjacent to the school in September 2012. The is a true testiment that persistance, collaberation and cooperation does pay off. To all parents that have concerns and suggestions to improve the learning experience of the pupils of P.S.100, "Get involved"!
My son has completed Kindergarten here. He loves this school! He is always so happy to go there in the mornings. And the amount he learned just in Kindergarten is tremendous: he already knows how to read, write, add and subtract. When we started he could barely spell his name! Now for the things I as a parent do not like. I agree with previous reviews: they put a lot of the burden on the parents. Most of the HW I had to re-teach to him. Plus they don't have recess, which is a big minus for me but I hear that has been happening in a lot of public schools. My son's teacher was helpful and caring, but the principal is a bit on the bossy side "I know better than you" kind of attitude. Then again, you cannot cater to everyone's demands. I guess we will see what happens in first grade...
Horrible school. Teachers dont teach, just give a lot of HW, very rude to parents and children. Children dont know how to read by 1st grade, the principle leaves them for 2nd time in the same grade. Teachers dont teach how to read, they expect parents to teach their children. The teacher treats a child nicely when she gets good expensive gifts. Principle screams at children and parents. Never listens even on the meetings, very rude!!!!!!!!!!Talking in commend tone of voice.
Yes, principal is tuff looking and so her stuff, but this what keeps everything in order. It is very hard world out their and kids should learn it from the very beginning. Tuff boss is not necessarily a bad one, and you have to learn how to deal with it. My kid learned how to read, wright, behave and he made some good friends . Projects are fun, teacher is very involved. I like this school.
The Prinicpal is very rude and so is most of her staff in the main office. She has a terrible attitude, does not listen or care about parents and their concerns. She makes this school unwelcoming to parents and visitors.
my son go's to this school and he says teachers ignore him and bad kids that are lyers and a very poor principle .horrible school
I have two children currently enrolled in this school and the teachers are just wonderful, but the principal is very uncooperative. She will not listen to parent's concerns and sometimes is very rude to parents. Refuses to understand or listen to parents. I am actually looking forward to changing school due to the lack of cooperation and understanding from this principal.

The Multiverse Theory
If 4D hyperspace does exist, isn't that a logical proof for the multiverse theory, and couldn't that be the same if existence of P-Branes exist?

Jul 17 2013: Logically, I don't see how the multiverse theory can't be correct. In the double slit experiment, it was found that single electrons did not exist in one state, rather, they existed in all of their probable states in the given conditions. Because quantum phenomenon do not occur at the macroscopic level, we can then conclude that the probable states for macroscopic objects split off into alternate realities.

Doll Bones
A doll that may be haunted leads three friends on a thrilling adventure in this delightfully creepy novel from the New York Times bestselling cocreator of the Spiderwick Chronicles. Zach, Poppy, and Alice have been friends forever. And for almost as long, they've been playing one continuous, ever-changing game of pirates and thieves, mermaids and warriors. Ruling over all is the Great Queen, a bone-china doll cursing those who displease her. But they are in middle school now. Zach's father pushes him to give up make-believe, and Zach quits the game. Their friendship might be over, until Poppy declares she's been having dreams about the Queen--and the ghost of a girl who will not rest until the bone-china doll is buried in her empty grave. Zach and Alice and Poppy set off on one last adventure to lay the Queen's ghost to rest. But nothing goes according to plan, and as their adventure turns into an epic journey, creepy things begin to happen. Is the doll just a doll or something more sinister? And if there really is a ghost, will it let them go now that it has them in its clutches?

Magic Marks the Spot
Hilary Westfield has always dreamed of being a pirate. She can tread water for thirty-seven minutes. She can tie a knot faster than a fleet of sailors. She particularly enjoys defying authority, and she already owns a rather pointy sword. There's only one problem: The Very Nearly Honorable League of Pirates refuses to let any girl join their ranks of scourges and scallywags. Girls belong at Miss Pimm's Finishing School for Delicate Ladies, learning to waltz, faint, and curtsy. But Hilary and her dearest friend, the gargoyle, have no use for such frivolous lessons--they are pirates! (Or very nearly.) To escape from a life of petticoats and politeness, Hilary answers a curious advertisement for a pirate crew and suddenly finds herself swept up in a seafaring adventure that may or may not involve a map without an X, a magical treasure that likely doesn't exist, a rogue governess who insists on propriety, a crew of misfit scallywags, and the most treacherous--and unexpected--villain on the High Seas. Will Hilary find the treasure in time? Will she become a true pirate after all? And what will become of the gargoyle?

OKC/Harden building now has 'Durantula'
June, 13, 2012
By Patrick Dorsey | ESPN.com
Ronnie Ketch/Ketch Design CentreLast week we brought you the story of how an Oklahoma City building "became" James Harden.
Now Ronnie Ketch & Co. have added a pair of red Russell Westbrook nerd glasses (made of steel) to the Ketch Design Centre, plus -- as promised -- a Kevin Durant-inspired "Durantula," made from PVC pipe, plywood and a sign donated by Lamar Advertising.
The project reached its completion Tuesday afternoon, not long before the Oklahoma City Thunder's comeback win over the Miami Heat ... featuring 36 points from the Amazing Durantula-Man (17 in the fourth quarter).
Yeah, this building isn't going back to normal anytime soon.

Greenpeace activists wearing bluefin tuna costumes participate in a protest against overfishing on Nov. 29 in front of South Korea's embassy in Manila, Philippines. One week before a major global summit on Pacific tuna fisheries, the activists are seeking conservation commitments from fishing powers to reduce the overfishing of the endangered bluefin tuna in the Pacific.
An Ocean Miracle in the Gulf of California
For generations we have been taking fish out of the ocean at a rate faster than they can reproduce. The problem is that there are fewer and fewer fish to meet an ever-increasing demand. The solution is simply to take less so that we can continue eating fish for a longer time.
Opponents of conservation, however, argue that regulating fishing will destroy jobs and hurt the economy–but they are wrong, and there are real-world examples that prove this. A scientific study published today by the Public Library of Science shows that protecting an area brings the fish back, and creates jobs and increases economic revenue for the local communities. I have seen it with my own eyes and, believe me, it is like a miracle, only that it is not–it's just common business sense.
Cabo Pulmo National Park in Baja California, Mexico, was protected in 1995 to safeguard the largest coral community in the Gulf of California. When I dove there for the first time in 1999, I thought the corals were very nice, but there were not so many fishes, and I didn't think the place was extraordinary. Together with Octavio Aburto and other Mexican colleagues we dove at many sites in the gulf, in a region spanning over 1,000 km. Cabo Pulmo was just like most other places I'd seen in the Gulf of California.
But the Cabo Pulmo villagers wanted more. They decided that the waters in front of their settlement were going to be a no-take marine reserve – fishing was banned with the hopes of bringing the fish back. They had a vision, and they succeeded in a way that exceeded all expectations, including mine.
In 2009 we went back to Cabo Pulmo to monitor the fish populations. We jumped in the water, expecting fishes to be more abundant after 10 years of protection. But we could not believe what we saw–thousands upon thousands of large fishes such as snappers, groupers, trevally, and manta rays. They were so abundant that we could not see each other if we were fifteen meters apart. We saw more sharks in one dive at Cabo Pulmo than in 10 years of diving throughout the Gulf of California!
Our research indicated that the fish biomass increased by 460% at Cabo Pulmo–to a level similar to remote pristine coral reefs that have never been fished. In contrast, all other sites in the Gulf of California that we revisited in 2009 were as degraded as ten years earlier. This shows that it is possible to bring back the former richness of the ocean that man has obliterated, but that without our dedication, the degradation will continue.
Most importantly for the people of Cabo Pulmo, since their reef is now the only healthy reef left in the Gulf of California, it has attracted divers, which bring economic revenue. And fishermen around the marine reserve are catching more fish than before thanks to the spillover of fish from the no-take marine reserve. It seems like a win-win to me!
The question is: how can we have more of these?
Environmental sustainability is possible.
Shark guardians see momentum to save predator from finning
Activists are pushing for a sanctuary in the Bahamas in a bid to halt drastic overfishing and finning that sees 73 million sharks killed each year.
