"Les Leopold tells the story of our economic collapse so clearly, so broadly, so stylishly I didn't get lost; in fact, to my great surprise, I kept going and going like Hansel and Gretel through the thick forest of mortgage finance, credit swaps, bubbles and bailouts. The Looting of America is a guided tour for people who wonder if the ups and downs of a free market are inevitable, or if we can't make a few changes for a smoother ride."—Robert Krulwich, NPR Science Correspondent and co-host of Radio Lab
—Robert Krulwich, NPR Science Correspondent and co-host of Radio Lab
How could the best and brightest (and most highly paid) in finance crash the global economy and then get us to bail them out as well? What caused this mess in the first place? Housing? Greed? Dumb politicians? What can Main Street do about it?
In The Looting of America, Leopold debunks the prevailing media myths that blame low-income home buyers who got in over their heads, people who ran up too much credit-card debt, and government interference with free markets. Instead, readers will discover how Wall Street undermined itself and the rest of the economy by playing and losing at a highly lucrative and dangerous game of fantasy finance.
He also asks some tough questions:
In this page-turning narrative (no background in finance required) Leopold tells the story of how we fell victim to Wall Street's exotic financial products. Readers learn how even school districts were taken in by "innovative" products like collateralized debt obligations, better known as CDOs, and how they sucked trillions of dollars from the global economy when they failed. They'll also learn what average Americans can do to ensure that fantasy finance never rules our economy again.
As the country teeters on the brink of what could be the next Great Depression, we should be especially wary of the so-called financial experts who got us here, and then conveniently got themselves out. So far, it appears they've won the battle, but The Looting of America refuses to let them write the history—or plan its aftermath.
After attending Oberlin College and Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs (MPA 1975), Les cofounded and currently directs two non-profit educational organizations: The Labor Institute (1976) and the Public Health Institute (1986). He designs research and educational programs on occupational safety and health, the environment and economics. He is now helping to form an alliance between the United Steel Workers Union and the Sierra Club. This profound work of non-fiction should be required reading for anyone who has ever had a job and everyone who believes that only fools limit their dreams for a better world.

No pretensions, no big talk, Velayudham (U) simply enters and entertains! A commercial pot boiler, it makes no bones about being so. The honesty appeals. The makers are clear about their target audience and have gone all out to satisfy them. And it is to the credit of M. Raja that he has come out of the brother-directs-brother mould to direct his first film with a hero of Vijay's stature and churn out reasonably engaging fare.
Raja shows acumen in packaging all the essential ingredients in proportions that are just right for the hero of the masses, thus highlighting the positives of Vijay. Velayudham, despite being a complete commercial capsule, rises above norms to offer some food for thought. Preaching is forthright, but the film isn't cluttered with messages. The protagonist shakes the public out of their stupor and superhero syndrome telling them not to always expect a saviour to march in and solve their problems. Be self-dependent, is the message. A thought new to our superhero tales that encompass even the Superman and Spiderman series!
A brother with extreme love for the sister, a lover who has the heroine chasing him throughout and not the other way round, a hero who rises in fury against injustice and a fun-loving friend in the company of the comedian — this is the kind of leading man who has emerged successful from the days of MGR. The formula works even now and could be lapped up by Vijay fans all over. The premise that begins on a serendipitous note isn't new. Neither are the characters. It is in treatment that Raja makes a mark.
As a performer, Vijay may not have had too many opportunities to prove his capability, because he's seen as a complete package with deftness in every department. Yet whenever scope is offered he has done justice to performance-oriented roles. The tragic moments in Velayudham are an example — his angst, anger and grief look genuine.
Hansika should heave a sigh of relief. After a few also-rans, Velayudham could help her Tamil film career sail smoothly. But the role per se is an exasperating stereotype! So is Charanya Mohan's. Like all sisters in cinema who have doting brothers, her pranks are childish. So when you suddenly see her as a bride, it's a surprise! Comparatively, Genelia's character is on a much higher plane and the actor, a journalist in the film, plays a pivotal part in taking the story forward. Women enhance the aesthetic appeal of Velayudham.
The technical team that includes cinematographer Priyan is formidable. Velayudham should be a milestone in action choreographer Silva's career — the fight on the train, in particular. You've seen such spine-chillers atop trains in our own films from the days of Murattu Kaalai, but with special effects of the present day the sequence showcases the expertise behind the execution. Certain portions of the editing seem to have been done in haste — the trick that Velayudham tries to play on his fiancée is a glaring example.
Vijay Antony's background score helps maintain the tempo of Velayudham on even keel. And aurally and visually 'Mulachu Moonu' is a bewitching sequence. But why do certain parts of the 'Raththathin Raththamae' song have to remind you of the yesteryear MSV hit from Ramu, 'Muthu Chippi Mella Mella'?
Velayudham should work for Vijay, mainly because it has a strong story, a neat screenplay, (though it could have been pruned — the film runs well past the two hour-30 minute mark!) arresting action, admirable dance movements, one or two hum-worthy numbers and the ever-helpful sister sentiment.
If you can forget the couple of Santhanam's gross takes, Velayudham offers some healthy humour. A battalion of comedians criss-cross the screen and each gives you enough to laugh about. Incidentally, Santhanam had better watch out — he shows signs of getting into a rut where humour begins and ends with abusing the father and getting scatological.
Whether the story is inspired or entirely original isn't the question. Whether Vijay's fans are served a sumptuous meal is. The answer is, they are.
Genre: Action
Director: M. Raja
Cast: Vijay, Genelia, Hansika, Charanya Mohan, Santhanam
Storyline: The larger-than-life hero serendipitously averts tragedies in the city. But revenge-seekers are on the prowl.
Bottomline: You get what you know you would — action unplugged!
Keywords: Velayudham, movie review, Velayudham review

"Interesting tour with lots of information about Wicklow&Ireland"
Reviewed by Jennifer from Bad Soden, Germany on September 7th, 2014 Interesting tour with lots of information about Wicklow&Ireland! I'd recommend it to anyone!
"Great views"
Reviewed by Takara from Tracy, United States on August 29th, 2014 Van was not fancy. Tour guide was nice. Saw some beautiful places I want to return to.
"Great tour with a very friendly and excellent guide."
Reviewed by Sebastian from Dresden, Germany on August 21st, 2014 We've seen much beautiful places and the great guide knew very much and has been growing up in the wicklow area!
Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Durham, United Kingdom on August 15th, 2014 We choose this tour because it is unique, with the opt for horse riding activities. So we went for horse riding activities and it was awesome. Both of us are newbies & have no experiece in riding! Thanks Joe (horseman) for the guide and Michael for the tour! Stunning places. Though I don't watch the movies -p/s I love you, Vikings, Braveheart, Leap Year, but the view is just superb.
Half day for outdoor activites and another half day is tour around Wicklow. It would be great to have longer tour around Wicklow..
"The perfect day!"
Reviewed by Courtney from Sydney, Australia on June 16th, 2014 We had a wonderful time on the tour! Terry, our guide, was so positive and fun, and it helped that the weather was uncharacteristically amazing too! We had enough time for everything, and it was a fun, and easy-going group, and Terry taught us a lot about the places we were visiting and there were plenty of photo ops. No complaints at all. The only comment I'd like the make is that the horse-riding tour was a bit too restricted for my liking, as I have done other similar activities with more freedom, however, I guess this is due to the different safety standards, and I completely understand anyway - nevertheless, the sites we saw on the trail were amazing! Would recommend this tour still :)
"Great tour, great sites, great guide"
Reviewed by Dylan from Stevensville, Canada on June 9th, 2014 Overall this your was exactly what I was hoping it would be. We saw historical
Sites of past Vikings and many cool views and different significant places.
"A wonderful experience travelling through the Wicklow countryside."
Reviewed by Philip from Elgin, United Kingdom on March 22nd, 2014 In the small group which I shared the day, the weather was variable.
The guide was light hearted and we'll informed.
The places that we visited and the routes that we took were all lovely.
I would recommend this tour to everyone, wanting an alternative to visiting Dublin.
Reviewed by Jennifer from Covina, United States on October 17th, 2013 Our Tour guide was great. Really emphasized the history of Dublin and Wicklow.
"Despite the bad weather the tour was great."
Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Hohen Sprenz, Germany on September 11th, 2013 We learned a lot about the area and the country overall from the guide. Good mix hiking and riding on the bus.
Reviewed by Michael from Remscheid, Germany on September 10th, 2013 The tour was very interesting, you could take a lot of photos. The people were also very nice.
"Really recommend it!"
Reviewed by Christian from Wien, Austria on August 29th, 2013 The tour was really lovely, and definitely worth the cost. We took the walking tour, which makes you work up a sweat if you're not used to going on long walks. But you do get a great view of the area! Really breathtaking! Our guide Sandra provided lots of info, but at times you couldn't understand her because the microphone on the bus was too quiet. It was pretty hard for non-native speakers to understand everything. We also could have spent a bit longer in Glendalough, so that we could have had time to explore the area on our own.
"Really enjoyable day"
Reviewed by Jemma from Middlesex, United Kingdom on August 29th, 2013 The tour guide was excellent, really funny and informative, would definitely reccomend!
"Breathtaking scenery with an awesome tour guide"
Reviewed by Margaux from Miami Beach, United States on August 26th, 2013 We had an amazing time on our tour with Sandra. She gave us a ton of history on Ireland and the Wicklow area, and was very relaxed. We stopped at the bridge used in P.S. I Love You and a few other beautiful spots.
My only issue was the horseback riding part of the tour -- I expected to be taking out on trails and for a scenic ride, but we had more of a lesson and then ride along some trails in a farm area. I know we were beginners, but I've taken horseback riding tours before and definitely done more than that. However this was not even done through Hilltrek, they just partnered with the stable, so everything done directly through the company was great.
"I'd expected more for the money, especially in terms of the horseback riding"
Reviewed by Ingrid from Trier, Germany on July 30th, 2013 The ride only lasted about 20 minutes, and we were only allowed to do it on a paved street, which is boring for experienced riders, and which definitely doesn't match the description. The price is outrageous considering what you get for it! The bus tour was okay but unspectacular, the guide was very nice but difficult to understand for non-native speakers, which wasn't a problem on the remainder of our trip.
"Very lovely tour"
Reviewed by Sandra from Sarnen, Switzerland on July 24th, 2013 We booked the 'Cliffs of Moher' day trip the day before, which took place completely 'on the bus' apart from a few short stops. We were happy with that, since we finally got to 'get on our feet'. We went on a bus full of other people going on the walking tour, without any of the people going on the biking or riding tours, which was an advantage in that we didn't have to make any tiring stops or have to wait for the others, which meant that we got to spend more time in Glendalough. Which was great, of course. We spent the morning on a 2.5 hour walking tour (or walk) on a hill where you got a great view of the city of Dublin & the bay. The guide provided great information about the history, flora & fauna. After eating lunch in a small restaurant we were taken by bus to Glendalough, where we could walk around on our own. Everyone could organize the time themselves, which meant we could also walk a bit along the two lakes. Great tour, unlike other tours you don't sit on the bus for 12 hour
"Great tour"
Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Rottenburg, Germany on June 29th, 2013 We got picked up on Suffolk Street, the bus was good and everyone was able to hear the guide's descriptions over the speakers. The guide told us a great deal, however parts of it were difficult to understand due to his dialect (even though we speak English very well). We spent two hours in Powerscout Park, which is really lovely and which we recommend (we didn't book any riding, bike, or walking tours). After that we were taken to a nice bistro and at the end we rode through the Wicklow Mountains. The driver always stopped so that people could take photos (including places where 'P.S. I Love You' was filmed). At the end you go to Glendalough, which is a really great park with cool lakes, where we walked around for about 20 minutes, and where the driver picked us up from again at the end. A very nice tour, really well-priced, and it's lovely to get to see a bit of the countryside.
"A successful trip all around, with a very engaging guide."
Reviewed by Renate from Berlin, Germany on June 26th, 2013 This trip was perfectly organized and the guide, who also served as the driver, provided lots of information. That worked out since there were only a few of us who were taking part in the trip to Wicklow Mountains. Even though I was the only one who was interested in the Powerscourt Gardens it wasn't any problem to bring me there. During that time the other participants went on a riding trip. The driver was really engaging and put in a lot of effort to ensure that we were comfortable during the trip.
"Despite the rain a very varied day"
Reviewed by Elke from Gera, Germany on June 26th, 2013 This was a great trip, with the right mix of walking, looking around, riding on the bus, and lots of interesting explanations. Really recommend it!
"Lovely trip!"
Reviewed by Johann from Graz, Austria on June 15th, 2013 Everything went well, the wander tour was great and the guide was awesome!
"Varied tour in the bright sunshine"
Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Herisau, Switzerland on June 12th, 2013 Mikel' was a great guide, he was able to keep participants from all sorts of different countries enlivened and entertained. He knows an incredible amount about the region. You have enough time to take pictures or to view the individual highlights. There's enough time set aside for bathroom breaks and for the lunch breaks. The walking part was more of a laidback stroll, but at a great pace (the guide takes this route several times a week ;) ) I'd definitely recommend the trip and the walk. Important: strong English skills required
"Uphill and worth it!"
Reviewed by Ellen from Zephyrhills, United States on May 30th, 2013 Beautiful scenery, wonderful weather, marvelous lunch at Poppie's and a knowledgeable and entertaining guide named Wayne! And in Ireland! Absolutely perfect.
"Really recommend it!!!!"
Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Mautern, Austria on May 15th, 2013 The tour was simply brilliant! Even though I'm a beginner, horseback riding was great! Our guide was the best, most friendly and courteous person possible. I've never had so much fun on a tour! Really recommend it!!!
"A lovely varied day"
Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Wien, Austria on May 14th, 2013 Our guide Jim was very nice and told us lots of interesting things about Ireland's history and culture. The points were well-chosen. The only thing that left something to be desired was the organization. They didn't clearly communicate all of the meeting points to all of the participants.
"Very personalized service"
Reviewed by Matthias from Kaarst, Germany on April 29th, 2013 Small group (11 people). Very clear information. No problems taking personal requests regarding the riding and walking into account.
"Great day of fun."
Reviewed by Virginia from Osterville, United States on April 15th, 2013 Michael, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional.
"Glendalough is one of a kind!"
Reviewed by Gabriele from Traunstein, Germany on April 11th, 2013 Worthwhile tour in the hillside country south of Dublin- even when it's snowy out. Anyone can do it. But Glendalough is the really gorgeous part. Our guide Sandra was very professional.
"absolutely recommend it"
Reviewed by a GetYourGuide Customer from Moers, Germany on April 5th, 2013 small group (14 people), excellent choice of sights, an awesome day all-around, got gorgeous impressions of everything. An ideal supplement to a stay in Dublin.
"everything went great and it was a lot of fun! Thanks!"
Reviewed by Svenja from Hattersheim, Germany on March 23rd, 2013 Very nice guide. We felt very comfortable and got to see everything we had wanted to see
"Good Tour, but a little too expensive for what is it."
Reviewed by Carole from FROUARD, France on November 26th, 2012 We have choosen horses as activity, Beginner can go without fears, but in the 2 hourses, you do 1 hour inside and 1 outside, in which you don't see beautiful view of Wicklow...
The rest of the tour id pretty good, anf the guide is nice.
"Amazing tour around Wicklow Mountains"
Reviewed by Marina from lleida, Spain on November 2nd, 2012 I\'m not very found of tours, I think you usually spend more time in the bus than outside it enjoying the views and feeling the countryside! That\'s why I choose this tour, you have enough time in every stop to visit the village, the ruins, or the views of the amazing National Park!
A part from that, the possibility of visit the national park by horse riding is absolutely incredible, and it makes you feel that you are part of the environment, not just a foreign tourist!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I have to agree with the previous review - parental involvement is discouraged at every turn. In fact, you may never know if your child is sent to the principal's office since no one will tell you. They will expect your child to be "accountable" and inform you. This leads into my next point - the administration have their heads in the clouds. They have unrealistic expectations, although those goals could be met if parents and administration worked together - but that won't be tolerated. The teachers so far have been fine but, with larger class sizes, if your child is bright, they will get bored and be allowed to stray and lose focus and possibly get into trouble which, as mentioned before, you may never find out about. The parents tend to want to be involved, but the principal is too egomaniacal to nurture that team work potential. It's a shame. Looking for a proviate school at this point.
Yes, the Administration is not warm and fuzzy, and the class sizes are big, but the teachers are great! K-5, my oldest child had only one not-so-good experience with a teacher, but the rest went well above and beyond the call and truly cared about "their kids". Yes, the building is in need of a renovation, but the staff blooms where they have been planted. As with most WH neighboorhood-based schools, there is an active group of parents as well, and the PTO puts on some good events. My family never misses the Springtime Duffy Fair!
Like all WH schools, Dufry is test-driven and score-focused. This school is incredibly old, tired and depressing to look at. Class sizes are huge, this year in the high 20s. Teachers are dedicated and caring, and there is a high priority on children assuming personal responsibility.
We had been attending Whiting Lane, but a move necessitated a transfer to Duffy. The change was welcome and smooth. The teachers and administration went above and beyond to make our child feel welcome, and to assure he succeeded. Looking forward to a new year.
This school focuses on academic success and teaching children responsibility & accountability. It is not a warm and fuzzy school and does not emphasize the arts or music. It may not be for the family who likes to be very involved as parent involvement is not encouraged. Not a very diversified school, racially or economically. Administration can be very difficult to approach and work with.

Gentleman extraordinaire.
This weekend I have the honor of playing a lead in a film with seasoned actors and filmmakers I greatly admire. I feel as if I am a phony, and have no business being among such talented people. My greatest strategy for the weekend is to fake my way through it and enjoy the experience… I think every now and then God puts you in a position you don't necessarily deserve to force you out of your comfort zone and to grow in a new way. I'm truly thankful and am looking forward to it.

It's been a while since I've made a film. My first film was ok, not great… but it has moments I'm proud of, and the process of making it was a learning experience. I thought it would go on to festivals after our premiere in Austin. It didn't.
These last few years have been transitional for me. Since I made my first feature, I've graduated from college, I got married, I worked two different jobs, I moved from Austin to Dallas to Austin to Dallas to Los Angeles. I haven't had much time for long-form filmmaking. We've made a few sketches, a web series, a couple shorts here and there… but it's time to get back to what I've set out to do.
Over the coming months I'm going to finish fleshing out some ideas I've had for a while, maybe shoot a short based on one of those ideas, and then launch a fundraising campaign.

Roy Kaiser, artistic director of Pennsylvania Ballet, is stepping down from his post after 19 years. The former PAB dancer, now 56, will stay with the company until a successor is found, and then become artistic director emeritus. During his tenure, the company has added 34 world premieres and 56 company premieres to its repertoire; Pennsylvania Ballet II was formed in 2002 and a new school opened in 2012.
The search committee hopes to find a new artistic director by the fall. They are being assisted by DeVos Institute of Arts Management head Michael Kaiser (no relation), who has a reputation as a turnaround agent for struggling dance companies. PAB originally brought in Michael Kaiser last May to create a five-year plan to address "a decade of flat ticket revenues, chronic funding challenges, and a certain lack of artistic sparkle," according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. That blueprint called for new full-length ballets and collaborations with other companies, performances in unusual venues, an expanded school, more touring, a reinvigorated board and smarter marketing strategies. The Inquirer wrote: "Under the new plan, the annual budget would grow from today's $10 million to $13.8 million in 2018. If the company succeeds ... at the end of it 'you'll see a very different organization,' [Michael] Kaiser says."
Fans are now wondering whether the search committee will select a name choreographer to head the troupe, or someone who's a curator like Roy Kaiser was. And will the director be someone with a background in Balanchine choreography, which has long been an integral part of the company's heritage? Or is PAB now looking to go in a new direction altogether? Executive director Michael G. Scolamiero told the Inquirer his hunch was they'd find someone similar to Kaiser, but admitted that right now, nobody knows the answer.

Boost secures UK fund reporting status for ETP range
Related fund data links
HM Revenue & Customs has approved all current Boost ETPs as UK Reporting Funds under the provisions of The Offshore Funds (Tax) Regulations 2009.
A sale of Boost ETPs by UK taxable investors will now be regarded as a disposal subject to UK capital gains tax (CGT).
CGT will only be charged to the extent that the gains arising to an investor in any particular tax year exceed the relevant annual exemption threshold.
Hector McNeil, co-CEO of Boost, says: "It is just over a year since we listed our first ETPs on the London Stock Exchange and we have made significant strides since then. Included in our achievements are industry awards, breaking through USD50m of assets under management, massive increases in trading volumes, adding ETPs covering broad equities and commodities and listing on the Borsa Italiana. Quite a year.
"UK Fund Reporting Status confirmation for Boost products is important to UK investors and a significant point of clarity for their tax affairs. 2014 is an exciting year for Boost and we expect to make more advances as the year progresses."

a external monitor is on my shopping list for 2 reasons:
1° i shoot more and more video with my D800 riga and a external monitor would e very helpful for that
2° my eyes become nearsighted and so a bigger monitor would help to have a better control over what i see and record
3° the bigger monitor would be helpful to take pictures with a rebreather as the big "mouthpiece" prevent to have the housing near in front of the eye
I belive that a external monitor with a zoom function would be very helpful and replace (for me) a viewfinder even if the optical quality is much lower.
I think that the main reason for the low use of external monitors is that good quality monitors are quite expensive and - if not using a tripod - make the camera harder to hold steady due it's additional weight.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My daughter enrolled in pre K and day care, i wasn't impressed either by the teaching or activity. I informed the principal and other of requirement for more hours and teaching and introduction of other activities like music, but was told they couldn't offer them. Most of their activities include kids playing with other kids. The pace of learning is lagging. Basic math is still not being taught. Also there is too much emphasis on bible at such a early age.
My daughter was hit in the face by a boy and the principal never did a thing about it. I even brought it to his attention several times.
My daughter has attended GSLS for 5 years, my son 2 and I couldn't be more pleased with their educations. The teachers, principal and pastor are passionate about their mission and have passed along their passions to the children. All of the long-term (2 or more years enrolled) students I have met treat other kids and adults with respect and compassion. It is a wonderful thing to see 7th and 8th graders go out of their way to include every child, kindergarten-8th. Truly they have learned to strive toward being Christ-like. Our test scores are consistently higher than state and district averages as well as 72% of students being placed on honor roll for academic excellence. I am sad to see such a negative review attached to our school; in my 7 years parenting, volunteering and taking kids on field trips I have never heard of such behaviour from any student or staff member. If you are considering enrolling your child please reserve judgement for when you meet our staff and kids, I promise you won't be disappointed.
My daughter has attended Good Shepherd for about a year and we could not be more pleased. Her teachers are wonderful and the students befriended her immediately. We feel very blessed to have such a good school for her. The tuition is half what we paid in her past school and the academics are strong. I would strongly recommend this school to any parent.
My daughter stated kindergarten there last year and was full day and I couldn't of been more please. My son's currently in their Pre-K program and they are channeling his brain power well. I was very worried because Oklahoma seems to be a bit behind on education. I myself went to a full day preschool and kindergarten and that was in the 80's. I teach my children at home on the national level and Good Shepherd is not far behind and makes a difference in Oklahoma standards. My first-grade daughter has some of the same spelling words as my friend's third-grader at a local public school. The Christian education is top notch, the classes are small, and they don't spank like some other private schools. The tuition is very fair and affordable. I plan of my children to attend as long as they are in OK .
Our child has been attending Good Shepherd for two years and will continue until out of college. The Christian atmosphere and the staff are the best in the state.
I attended Good Shepherd from k-8th grade and I really like it there. The teachers were all very helpful and they were actually concerned about the well-being of the students. I had fun there every day but I also learned all the things I needed to in order to prepare me for high school. Needless to say I was very sad when it came time to leave in the 8th grade, but I transitioned very well from Good Shepherd to a public high school and I had already learned a lot of the things they were teaching in my grade. I wish only good things upon Good Shepherd, I encourage new students to attend there.
My child has attended Good Shepherd from Pre-K through 4th grade, and we couldn't be happier. In this school, every child is treated with kindness and dignity. My daughter has received an excellent education at Good Shepherd, but more importantly, she has learned how to be a wonderful person. Good Shepherd is like an extended family who have helped her through the difficult times and encouraged her to be the best she can be at everything she does. There are not a lot of extracurricular activities available yet, but this is a growing school, and we hope to create more options in the future. I have researched many educational options for my child, and Good Shepherd's staff makes it tops in my opinion.
I feel this school is great. It offers a great learning and spiritual enviroment for any aged child. They have great teachers and supporting staff that keeps parents up to day with all activities and the childrens progress or lack of progress in the student school work. They offer help for any student that is not caughing on to the curriculam. The only down fall of this school is, the extracurricular activities are very limited. The ablility to continue the sports program appears to be difficult since the school has not attracked new students and the older children are falling out. The school is just not growing. I hope that by completing this survey. That this will help other parent to make the decision to join this caring school were there is plenty of room for new child that will be welcomed with open arms and minds.

Steve Noviello Joins Zazza & Julie For No More Than 4
March 6, 2014 9:12 AM
This morning, we had Fox 4's Steve Noviello in studio with us to play No More Than 4. Once we recovered from the size of Steve's awesome arms, we got down to business with guessing clues.
Today's clues were:
- I am a specific type of animal species.
- We first evolved in South America about 100 million years ago.
- We range in size from 5 grams to others weighing over 200lbs.
- There are some of us that are mostly night creatures, and our sense of smell and hearing are our strongest.
No one in the studio guessed the answer was MARSUPIAL, not even our guest Steve.
Coming up in May, Steve will have a new segment called Our Consumer Crusaders. Viewers can submit their awesome tips for saving money, saving time, or other awesome tips you think will help others. Go to Steve's Facebook page at facebook.com/SaveMeSteve to submit your tip!

(A/N): Bit of a warning, this chapter contains attempted suicide. Just letting you guys know...o-o
You lie on top of your bed with your hands resting at your sides, staring up at the ceiling as tears continuously fell from your eyes. Earlier in the school day, you had had been discovered sitting bruised and slightly bloodstained against the lockers by one of the teachers, and you had to be carried in their arms to the nurse's office. When asked by them whether somebody had brutally hurt you, you replied with a nod, too tired to speak. However, you refrained from mentioning the person's actual name for fear of the threat that Gilbert had given you earlier.
When you had arrived at the nurse, the first thing she had asked you was how you were possibly able to sustain injuries such as the ones you had, and the only excuse you were able to come up with to protect Gilbert's identity was that the attack on you was so quick and fierce that you weren't able to see the face of the person who carried it out on you. Your parents had to be called from work to come and pick you up because you were barely able to walk on your own, and as soon as your parents had driven away from the school, they headed straight to the hospital, where you had to be evaluated.
That was when everybody there discovered all your bruises and cuts from previous bullying that you had faced all throughout your high school years. It wasn't as much of a shock to the staff at the hospital as it was to your parents.
Your parents had asked you if someone was physically hurting you at school, and you responded with a nod. They had then asked you if you knew who this person was, and you shook your head. In the end, your parents had decided that they were going to contact the staff at the school to inform them of all of your bullying, since you had gone through so much without them being able to help you at least once.
To add to their devastated emotions, your parents had also been angry at you for not telling them about the bullying as soon as it had started. You had to stay at the hospital overnight for treatment of all your cuts and bruises, and when you were released the next afternoon, the first thing you did when you got home was go to your room and cry, which you continued doing up until now. But despite that, your parents were still furious at you and didn't stop from giving you a lecture about how you should've always told someone if someone else was bothering you, which only made you feel worse.
These past thirty-six hours had been like hell for you in so many ways. The pain of getting bullied once again by Gilbert, having him say all those things to you, getting taken to the hospital, the humiliation of having to show everybody, even your parents, all your cuts and bruises for the first time...it was all just too much. And now your parents were going to contact the school, meaning that once the word got around, you would be in big, big trouble with Gilbert.
You let out a sigh and covered your eyes with your arm, your continuous amount of tears instantly causing it to become damp. Maybe what Gilbert had said to you the previous day was true. Maybe it was true that nobody ever cared about you. Maybe it was true that if anybody did care about you, they would've helped you deal with the problem without you even having to go to them. Maybe it was true that you were useless in this world and only made life more difficult for others. It certainly seemed that way when your parents had to spend so much of their time driving you from school to the hospital and staying there when you were treated for your injuries.
Maybe it was true that nobody would've cared if you died.
Besides, why should they? Gilbert certainly didn't care about you, since he had spent so much of his time throughout the past three years recklessly bullying you. Nobody at the school cared about you, since if they did, they would've quit being bystanders and helped you, even the teachers. Your parents didn't seem to care about you, since your injuries and depressed emotions only seemed to make life harder for them. You didn't have any friends, you didn't make much contact with the outside world, you rarely spoke to others in school or anywhere you went...What importance did you hold in the lives of other people?
The answer to that was plain and simple: None.
Feeling the tears slowly stop leaking out of your eyes, you removed your arm from your face and propped yourself up on your elbows, shifting your gaze to look outside your window. It was dark, and the only light in your neighborhood was from other houses, passing cars, and streetlamps. Blankly staring at the window for a few moments, you finally climbed out of bed and approached it, resting your hands on the sill and examining your front yard.
Your parents were at home right now, meaning that there was no way you were going to be permitted to step outside the house, especially in your current condition. But the tree that was positioned directly next to the window outside told you otherwise. As you continued to examine it for the next few moments, a tiny smile came to your face when you figured you could've easily climbed out the window, made your way down the tree, and headed over to where you had to go. Sure, maybe your parents would've eventually realized that you were gone, but it's not like you should've worried about it, right? Based on what you had to do, the concern of your parents or the concern of anyone else was what bothered you the least.
Lifting your gaze up, you stared out into the dim-lit, empty neighborhood, soothed by its peace and stillness. The silence felt so calm and reassuring, and for a few moments it made all your life problems concerning your injuries, school, and Gilbert move to the very back of your head. But once you finally came back to your senses, you shook your head and let out a sigh before you stood upright and turned around, facing your room once again. You were able to spot a blank piece of paper and a pencil sitting on top of your desk, and another idea made its way to your head.
If you were going to do what you had to, it would've been a bit better if you left a note so that anyone who would read it would've gotten at least a small idea of what happened.
Approaching your desk, you sat down in your chair and began writing with a trembling hand.
I can't take this anymore. I don't care about what you might think, but I've put up with enough. Gilbert, you've won my last hopes of living.
You read over the short note a couple of times, wondering whether or not you should've added more. But after a while, you decided that it wasn't necessary to add anything else. You didn't have to, nor did you want to.
Folding the note twice and putting it in a place where it would not have been too visible, but not especially hard to find, you walked up to the window and turned back around, taking one last look at your room. You wondered about where you would've gone to carry out your plan, but it didn't take you that long to come up with an idea. You often went to the local pharmacy to do some of your shopping, and you often headed to the top of the building where it was always easier for you to think. That seemed like the perfect place, and you wouldn't have had to worry about anybody questioning you afterwards. After a few moments of silence, the only sound being your quiet, calm breath, you turned to face the window, opened it, and climbed out.
You sat on the edge of the roof of the five story tall building, looking up at the clear, star-filled sky. You had been allowed permission to climb up to the roof with the help of a key given to you by one of the employees of the store that you had been spoken to frequently, but you already knew that you weren't going to be returning it to them. Not that it mattered, anyway.
Everything around you was soothingly calm, and as you continued to look up at the pitch-black sky, feeling the light breeze gently flow through your hair, you thought about how perfect this moment was. You were on the roof of a building all alone with nobody else suspecting you, and even if somebody did, it's not like it would've stopped you from doing what you felt was right.
Drifting your gaze down, you examined the view of the ground below you. It seemed like a pretty far drop from where you were sitting, and even though people were going to witness a pretty disgusting sight as they were walking around the area of the store after your plan was carried out, it didn't have any meaning to you.
Still examining the view from the roof with alert eyes, a part of you wondered whether or not this was a good idea. Well, why shouldn't it have been? You felt that there was simply no other way for you to end all of your problems, especially those with Gilbert, and all it took was a single plunge from the roof and everything would've been over. Your bullying, your injuries, the involvement of your parents, your dreaded grades at school, all of it. You no longer would've had to put up with any of it.
A part of you actually felt relieved that you decided to carry out your plan when you did. You had no idea what would've happened to you and your emotions if you had continued living in the presence of Gilbert every single day, and you certainly didn't want to find out.
After a few more moments of looking down at the ground below you, you stood up, lifting your gaze once again to the quiet, soundless sky. It seems so peaceful up there...you thought. The exact opposite of what my life is right now.
You wondered how everybody was going to react once they found out about what had happened as a result of your plan. Sure, they were going to be shocked, especially your parents, but it was only because a situation like this had to happen in general. It wasn't because it happened to you. Nobody cared about you, and that had been proven after you were brought to the hospital and treated from your injuries. What Gilbert had said to you a few days ago had been right. It would've been better for everyone if you just went ahead and killed yourself.
And that was exactly what you were planning to do.
You dropped your gaze down once again to the ground below you. It seemed like a long enough jump for you to break your neck or some vital parts of your body, and that was all that mattered to you. Not whether or not anybody would have to witness the horror of seeing your dead, blood-covered body lying next to the front of the store as they walked by. Not the shock of your parents once they found out that their daughter had killed herself because she was severely bullied for nearly three years.
You wondered how Gilbert was going to react once he found out about your suicide. He was probably going to laugh about it and treat it like it was nothing, since he was the one who bullied you for so long and told you that you should've killed yourself. Actually, it shouldn't come as a surprise to him once he finds out that you killed yourself by jumping off the roof of a public building. You doubted that anybody would've cared.
You took a few steps forward so that you were standing on the very edge of the roof, turned around, closed your eyes, and took a deep breath. A part of you felt nervous about making this drop, but you knew that there was absolutely nothing to worry about. It would've lasted for only a few seconds and then all your problems would've been solved forever. There was no need to fret about something that would've made you better.
Opening your eyes, you looked up at the sky and bid farewell to your awful, heart-wrenching life. You had no idea why you even wanted to say goodbye to such a crappy excuse of a life, so instead you said goodbye to the moon, the stars, anything else that you were able to see sitting peacefully up in the sky. You didn't feel like saying goodbye to anything or anyone else.
Closing your eyes, you took a deep breath and held it, telling yourself over and over that everything was going to be alright afterwards, and you just had to get through the somewhat frightening sensation of plunging off a building before all of your problems would've been gone. Finally, you released that breath and waited for a few more moments of silence before you leaned back enough so that your feet were able to slip off the building and you fell.
There were the few seconds of the terrifying sensation of falling down with your back facing the ground, and just as you thought your head was about to collide with concrete, you felt the awareness of falling into someone's arms and the crunching of cardboard beneath you.
"What the hell!" you heard someone shout as your fall was broken and the person who now held you in their arms fell back, causing their grip on you to release and you to fall onto the ground next to them with a thud.
For a few minutes, everything was absolutely silent. You still kept your eyes closed, confused on what just happened. All you were able to feel was an aching pain in your back, arms, and legs and the spinning of your head. Am I finally dead yet? As you opened your eyes, expecting yourself to be in another world, you instantly felt confusion surge through you when you saw the clear, night sky and the top of the building that you attempted to fall from.
Why am I still here? you thought disappointedly. Shifting your head to the side, you were able to see the chest, stomach, and legs of the person lying on the ground next to you and a squashed pizza box lying next to their foot, though you weren't able to see their face.
That was when it hit you. This was the person who had caught you in the middle of your fall and prevented you from killing yourself just as you were about to hit the ground. You felt anger start fuming through you as soon as you realized that your attempt at suicide had been unsuccessful. Struggling to move, you closed your eyes and let out a grunt as you hauled yourself up into a sitting position on trembling arms. Cursing silently to yourself, you felt your knees touch the side of the person who had caught you. Opening your eyes and lifting your head, you saw that he had already gotten into a sitting position and was examining his arm, which you figured appeared to have some kind of a scrape after he fell back. As soon as he lifted his head, his face less than a foot away from yours as you sat on your knees, staring at him confusingly, you could've sworn you almost had a heart attack when you saw who it was that had stopped your suicide.
It was Gilbert.
It took him only a fraction of a second to recognize you, and as soon as he did, you were able to notice his eyes widen and the expression on his face turn from shock, to surprise, and finally to horror. You returned the same expression, though yours was filled with slightly more terror.
Gilbert was the one who caught you in his arms and saved you from jumping to your death?
The two of you continued to sit there, staring at each other in silence, the only sounds being the deep, quick, ragged breaths coming from the both of you. You were aware of how uncomfortable close you were to him...His face was, in fact, only a few inches away from yours. He was so close that it seemed as if he was able to see your innermost thoughts through your eyes. You were able to feel your heart racing wildly in your chest, and for a few moments, you felt as if you had forgotten how to breathe.
Finally, Gilbert decided to speak, though his voice was barely above a whisper. "_-____...?"
"Yeah?" you replied in the same quiet tone, not feeling ready enough to prepare for an attack from him.
But instead of striking a blow at you, he said something that was much, much more painful. "Were you...trying to kill yourself?"
At that, you felt some of your patience, the patience that you had been containing for the past three years, break into pieces. The fear and horror that you had been feeling inside you had been quickly replaced with anger, and feeling new energy burst through you, you sprang to your feet and clenched your fists.
"It's none of your business!" you screamed, your ear-splitting voice filling the soothingly quiet atmosphere. You glared down at Gilbert with eyes flaming in rage while he looked up at you in confusion, and before he had time to say anything else, you raised your leg and gave him a swift, fierce kick in the stomach before you turned on your heel and dashed down the street, tears falling freely from your eyes.

Reggie Watts performs tonight at Ace Hotel New York with The Dance Cartel at On the Floor in Liberty Hall. He woke up early to do his hair and found a few moments to talk to us about life, love, luxury problems and Comedy Bang Bang.
How is your morning, er afternoon, going?
Uh, it's going good. Not out of bed yet, but I'm getting there.
You've just been taking interviews from bed? That sounds pretty good.
It's not bad, it's fun.
You're a busy man. Last week when we were having technical problems you were like "Okay you have ten minutes. I have another one in ten minutes, then ten minutes before that." That doesn't sound like very much fun for you. Or maybe it is.
Well sometimes it can be. It's just a matter of it lining up or not. Sometimes people will not call or they will forget. Something like that. Then sometimes they will call a little bit later and then the whole thing is derailed. "I'll call you ten minutes later, then ten minutes later." That can be weird, but it's fine. Literally almost everything is worse than that.
They are first world problems, it's true. Have things been kind of blowing up since Comedy Bang Bang premiered?
Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I think I definitely noticed people a little bit more. I mean people notice me more is what I meant to say. Ha.
You and Alex (Calderwood) are old friends from Seattle.
Yeah, I've known him probably since, I'm going to guess like 1996 or something like that maybe. He was throwing parties at — I can't remember the name of the club, it was right under the monorail. It was the only thing in town that really had any elegance or sophistication to it when it comes to parties. They were killin' it. But yeah they were cool guys, I've known them forever. I love the Ace.
I interviewed Vijay Iyer recently when he was coming to Portland for the Jazz Festival. We were talking about jazz being this democratic wildland where anything can happen. And I was watching some videos of your work on YouTube and various places over the last week, and thinking that jazz and comedy feel kind of related. Especially the sort of performance you do — it's pretty singular — you have peers in the comedy world and peers in the music world, but what you do with them is sort of unprecedented. I was wondering if you feel like there is some feedback loop with how you approach comedy and how you think about improvisational music, and if they feel related to you in any way?
Yeah, they are definitely related. I mean, if you can improvise in music and if you have a love of music you can just transpose that to being more lyrical. It's the same technique, it just depends on what you understand. Improvisation is inherent in any art form.
I was also watching your Ted Talk where you kind of do this incredible gymnastic leap between personalities and voices. Does that process feel like acting for you, or is it just sort of being parts of yourself? And, related to that, I'm wondering if acting feels like imitation or if it's more like channeling these different personality types.
It definitely feels like kind of channeling personality types because the various voices and the way that they sound can trigger different ways of behaving. It's really like the voice leads the results I suppose.
You actually have this incredibly strong, really beautiful voice. Does using it in this comedic way — in this channeling — gives you more space to play? Do you ever wish you were re-focusing on making music or "seriously using" your voice outside of a comedic context?
Yeah, I mean, the thing is I did music for most of my life. I guess now I've done comedy almost as long as I've done music professionally. But in that time I did music, I've done a lot of "serious music" — several albums and played everywhere and toured. I'd really like to get back to making standard music records at some point. I'm working on it sometime this year, it will probably happen hopefully. I had to catch up for a while with comedy and to get that more solidly rolling.
It seems like the work you do requires a lot of alone time and just kind of tripping out by yourself. I'm wondering about that threshold between being alone and creating pieces and working on stuff. Do you take that directly to the stage, or do you have any process of working with an editor or showing it to friends first. How do you emerge from that cocoon and take it public?
It's kind of a reality shift. It's kind of like what I do on stage when I shift between different things — it's the same idea. I definitely require a lot of downtime or alone time, whether that's good or bad. Definitely because I just need to recharge or research things or try to complete things, or however you want to say it. And yeah, it's not that hard to translate 'cause sometimes I'll be cooped up for a while and then I just need to get out and do stuff. So it's a welcome change for sure.
Your work is, in a way, genre-less — you are tagged as a comedian and as a musician, but I feel like I haven't ever seen a performer do exactly what you do or even anything close to it. There is this bravery to just being yourself and kind of following your own aesthetic, visually and musically and even socially. I'm wondering if that comes naturally to you, and, if not, what it takes to just be yourself and be unprecedented and be the first one to do something up on stage.
A lot of it is the same thing that motivates kids to sing in their hairbrushes in the mirror. And doing that in front of other people. It's really kind of something you learn quickly if it's something you want to do or not. You either feel empowered by going on stage and having people respond and feeding off of that and giving that back, or not. You either like that exchange or it immobilizes you. For me, audiences are great fuel for doing what I do because it's improvised. So in a way they are kind of helping me create the performance.
What's it like then performing just for a camera — I don't know if you guys have a studio audience, but how does that feel different than performing in this wild, improvisational way on stage?
Yeah, no, it's a totally different thing. It's about making sure that you're getting performances that are being captured by a camera. And just making sure that you're giving the right amount of energy to a situation that's being caught by cameras. It feels different than an audience, but there's still an audience on the other side of it while you're making it. It's just there's a huge time delay — ha. It's kind of the same but the camera is a different instrument. You have to develop a relationship with the camera.
Some people don't realize you have a really long, very grand name — Reginald Lucien Frank Roger Watts. I know for obvious reasons that's not your stage name because it's quite long, but is it a family name?
It's basically just a European thing to throw in different or various family members or friends that have had a positive impact or whatever. Yeah, so that's usually how it happens. It's awesome.
Thanks, R.L.F.R. Watts. See you tonight!
