Remember how the schools merger story of about five years ago would change by the hour at times? That story has met its equal in what is becoming the first major challenge of the new Strickland administration at City Hall – the Overton Park Greensward.So much happened before noon Tuesday on the first day of the short work week that it required waiting for the dust to settle on several fronts.Here is the latest on a very fluid and volatile situation that could very well change as you are reading this.Luckily we report at a time when you can change stories on line to keep up with such changes.Zoos and parks and protests featuring brass bands suggest to a casual observer that this is not very serious as controversies go.And maybe that was the case about a year and a half ago when a group of high school students decided to block the gravel driveway from the zoo parking lot onto the greensward.But consider this:The Memphis Zoo is working toward a March 1 opening of its new exhibit, Zambezi River Hippo Camp, a $22-million attraction that from what we saw just a few months ago will likely draw big crowds to the zoo in the spring.The zoo was preparing for that starting with the removal of 27 trees from the north end of the greensward.The best Mayor Jim Strickland could get from both sides – the zoo and Overton Park Conservancy – at his meeting with them Tuesday was a commitment to take his proposal for mediation to their respective boards.The zoo board has authorized its leaders to file a lawsuit in Chancery Court over the greensward and it's very likely the zoo would go to court before the March 1 opening because of the crowds on their way.If the work to come by the zoo in advance of the March 1 opening involves heavy machinery, the reaction is likely to draw a much bigger protest than the ones Memphis Police have so far watched from a distance without making arrests.As in all pressing political dramas, this controversy has the accelerant of timing.

United Way in Waukesha County, along with the Waukesha County Corporate Volunteer Council and local Waukesha businesses, created and donated more than 700 stockings filled with age-appropriate treats for children, adults and seniors.
The program, St. Nick's Helpers, is in its second year; it provides gifts to individuals who might not have otherwise received a gift this season.
Individuals and companies donated items, money and time to fill and deliver the stockings to less fortunate families in Waukesha County. Items in the stockings for children included hats, mittens or gloves, candy, bubbles, small toys, crayons and coloring books. Adult and senior stockings included hats, mittens or gloves, small personal hygiene items, candles, note pads, puzzle books and small trinkets.
Area Girl Scout troops got together to sew and stuff more than 100 stockings.
Some of the stockings were stuffed at the Salvation Army in Waukesha, 445 Madison St.
"It was fun to host a portion of the stocking stuffing in our facility," said Maj. Carol Lemirand, corps officer. "It truly seemed like a St. Nick workshop right here in Waukesha. There were so many caring people who have vision for the happiness of others who often have so little joy.
"We heard from some of the recipients how fun it was to experience an occasion missed as a child. One person said they never shared Christmas because their father was absent and their mom worked several jobs to keep them sheltered and fed. This blessing as an adult had a great impact on their view of our community."

Two Item Limit had trouble in her last start, but had no trouble Friday in winning the Black-Eyed Susan Stakes (gr. II) at Pimlico.The 3-year-old Twining filly had to steady and alter course in the April 13 Comely Stakes at Aqueduct, still finishing second, beaten just a half length. She was put up via disqualification. In the Black-Eyed Susan, she had clear sailing under Richard Migliore, taking the lead at the quarter pole and beating Indy Glory and Tap Dance in the $200,000 race.Owned by Joseph Graffeo and trained by Steve DiMauro, Two Item Limit ran the nine furlongs in 1:50 4/5 and returned $4.40, $3.20 and $2.10. Indy Glory paid $4.80 and $2.20 and Tap Dance was worth $2.10.Last year at two, Two Item Limit won two stakes late in the year at Aqueduct, the Tempted (gr. III) and Demoiselle (gr. II). Sent to California to begin her 3-year-old campaign, she hooked Golden Ballet twice before returning to New York for the Comely.There was very little movement early in the Black-Eyed Susan, with just a five-horse field. Scoop set the early fractions, followed by Tap Dance, Vines of Justice, Then Two Item Limit and Indy Glory."I got behind Tap Dance and let her carry me as long as I needed her to," Migliore said. "Then, when I pulled out, my filly just breezed. She never batted an eyelash. When she hit the front I tapped her a couple times to keep her mind on her business, but she won with a little left in the tank. I was really impressed with her performance."The fractions were :23 4/5, :47 4/5, 1:12 2/5 and 1:38 1/5.

Come on an intimate journey into the world of modern global shamanism with western practitioners and see never before filmed footage of ancient medicine practices…
Each episode will follow a specific medicine person working with a specific medicine. This first pilot episode features Dr. Octavio Rettig & The Sonoran Desert Toad. More information and full cast and crew of this first pilot episode are available on the official site shamansoftheglobalvillage.com
Indigenous people across the globe have used sacred plant medicines for millennia to heal, illuminate and connect them to the web of life. From ayahuasca and San Pedro in South America, psilocybin mushrooms and Salvia Divinorum in Mexico, Peyote in North America, Kambo in Brazil, Iboga in Africa, and DMT-acacias in Australia, etc., each of these psychoactive medicines needs a healer to connect them to their patients: the shaman.
This investigative-adventure documentary show will examine not just these shamanic medicines, but the shamans that wield them. Shamans of the Global Village will be unique with a focus on both indigenous and Western men and women learning to become shamans, what drives them, what their backgrounds are, and why the role of the shaman is vital in the 21st century. If, as Marshall McLuhan said, we are now a "global village", then we need our own healers that understand the deep power and sacredness these plant medicines can reveal.
Journalist Rak Razam will interview and sit in ceremony, experiencing healing medicine ceremonies with Western shamans across the globe, in countries where these plants are legal. Razam will show how the modern shamanic resurgence is being passed on from indigenous tribes to these new wave medicine people working in the Global Village, in the cities and the jungles of the 21st century. The show will focus on personalities, not just medicines, to bring alive the role of the shaman in the modern world.# vimeo.com/151266545 Uploaded

What is a programming language? Programming
What is a programming language?
There have been hundreds of programming languages since the start of computing. But at any given time there are perhaps a dozen or so that are popular and by popular I simply mean that language is used in a lot of current software, it's used by large numbers of people, and there is an active community and a significant job market for that language. Now as the years go by, different languages wax and wane in popularity. New languages do come along. Some are big hit but most of them aren't. So this list changes, but it changes slowly. Now most programmers will learn and use many languages over the course of their career. Once you have got the basics down, additional languages do become easier to pick up. A little later in this course we will dive deeper into the most popular languages, but if you're new to this, you might think why, why are there so many languages? If all we're doing is writing simple instructions for computer, why isn't there just one co...
In this video in the Developer and Programming Foundations series, you'll walk through the basics of what a programming language is, why some are more popular than others, and why there are so many languages to begin with. From Java to Ruby, by the end of the video you will have a better understanding of why a variety of programming languages exist, and what role they play in the programming world.

Sweet, 27026 Freeport Road, Palos Verdes, Calif., and Alvin H. Sweet, '5222 S. Manhattan Place, Los Angeles, Calif.
Filed Aug. 9, 1963, Ser. No. 300,979 s Claims. (Cl. 2 1s) in the glove by impact thereon will effect combined compression and displacement of the air content of the impacted cell by delivering a portion of the air content of the impacted cell to the neighboring cells thereby distributing the shock imposed on one or more of the cells throughout the cellular structure of the glove.
Another object is to provide an arrangement of overlying cells inthe glove whereby shock imposed on the outer cells will be cushioned by the inner cells.
A further object is to provide a construction in the glove whereby when in use, a boxer is prevented from delivering a blow with the flat of the hand and whereby a blow delivered by the heel of the hand will be cushioned.
With the foregoing objects and advantages in view the invention is carried into effect as hereinafter described and claimed, and illustrated by way of example in the accompanying drawing, in which:
FIG. 1 is a view in elevation with portions broken away of the outer side of a right hand glove;
FIG. 2 is a view in elevation with portions broken away of the inner side of the glove shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a view in side elevation depicting the glove shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 as bent upon itself when worn while boxing, with portions broken away;
FIG. 4 is a detail in cross section taken on the line 4-4 of FIG. 3 as seen in the direction of the arrows showing the glove as partly inflated; and
FIG. 5 is an enlarged fragmentary section taken on the line 5-5 of FIG. 4.
The glove as shown, is in the form of a mitten having an outer Wall 6, shown in FIG. 1, and an inner wall 7 shown in FIG. 2, with a pair of overlying intermediate inner walls 8 and 9 as shown in FIG. 4. The walls 6, 7, 8 and 9 are co-extensive with their margins coinciding and are collectively united along their side margins and outer ends to provide the side margins and outer end of the glove while the walls 6, 8 and 9 are connected at their inner ends to provide the inner end of the glove. The inner end of the wall 7 is free and constitutes a sleeve which associated with the intermediate wall 9 forms a pocket 10 for the reception of the hand of the wearer.
Interposed between the outer wall 6 and the intermediate wall 8 is a series of transversely extending elongated cells 11 separated by dividing walls or partitions 12, which partitions extend in parallel relation to each other between the side margins of the glove. Interposed between the Walls 8 and 9 is a similar series of elongated cells 13 extending in parallel relation to each other between the side margins of the glove.
The cells 11 constitute an outer layer of cells adjacent the outer wall 6 while the cells 13 constitute an inner layer adjacent the intermediate wall 9 bordering the pocket 10.
The partitions 12 and 14 are offset relative to each other so that the cells 11 of the outer layer thereof are staggered relative to the inner layer of cells 13 longitudinally ofthe glove.
The partitions 12 and 14 are provided adjacent their ends with restricted apertures 15 and 16 respectively whereby the contiguous cells 11 are in communication with each other, as are the contiguous cells 13. An inflating tube 17 connects with the end cell 11 at the base of the glove and a separate inflating tube 18 connects with the end cell 13 whereby the series of cells 11 and the series of cells 13 may be independently inflated by directing air under pressure through the tubes 17 and 18 in the usual manner.
The walls 6 and 7 are continued at one margin of the glove to extend in overlying relation to each other in corresponding contours and have their margins united to provide a thumb piece 19 the interior of which opens to the chamber 10.
The glove thus formed is bodily flexible and is designed to be folded inwardly upon itself as indicated in FIG. 3, and to have its outer end fastened to the wrist portion of the glove during boxing operations.
For this purpose the outer end of the glove is provided with a transversely extending sleeve 20 through which is rove a ribbon 21 of sufficient length to be passed around the Wrist portion of the glove and have its end portions tied together, as indicated at 22 in FIG. 3, so as to securely hold the tip of the glove close to the base of the palm portion thereof. Extending transversely across the palm of the glove is a padded rib 23 adapted to be gripped by the closed hand encased in the glove.
As a means for Ventilating the pocket 10 the Wall 7 is provided with a multiple of perforations 24 as shown in FIG. 2.
In the application and operation of the invention the hand of the wearer is inserted in the open end of the pocket 10 while the glove is in its extended position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2; the glove being passed over the hand until the fingers are positioned in the outer portion of the glove and the thumb is projected into the thumb piece 19. The several cells of the glove are inflated by directing air under pressure through the flexible tube 17 to inflate the cells 11 and through the tube 18 to inflate the cells 13; the flexible tubes 17-18 being folded upon themselves and held in such position to effect sealing thereof in the usual manner, commonly employed in inflatable cushions, balloons and the like. If desired the pressure of air within one series of the cells may be varied relative to the pressure of air in the other series.
On the glove being thus applied, and the fingers on the enclosed hand folded inwardly to thereby produce a st and thus bending the glove so that the tip portion thereof will overlie the heel of the hand, the ribbon 21 is drawn taut around the body of the glove and tied to thereby hold the inturned end portion of the glove in its folded position as shown in FIG. 3. This tying operation is usually performed by an attendant. When the glove is thus positioned the padded rib 23 affords a cushion between the fingers and the palm of the hand.
An important feature of the invention resides in the provision of the restricted apertures 15 and 16 in the dividing walls 12 and 14 between the adjacent cells of the inner and outer layers thereof, whereby on impact being delivered to the walls of one or more of the cells such as to depress such walls and thereby compress the air content of the affected cells, a portion of the cornpressed air will be displaced and directed through the apertures 15-16 into adjacent cells to thereby effectively cushion the shock of impact on the glove.
The apertures 15 and 16 are restricted so as to prevent free and easy passage of air therethrough and whereby the flow of displaced air from a cell is restrained or resisted so as to prevent such displacement of air in a cell under impact as to permit bottoming of the outer wall thereof.
Another important feature of the invention resides in the provision of the overlying or double layers of the air cells with the cells of the outermost layer offset relative to the cells ofthe innermost layer.
By this arrangement the inated cells of the inner layer thereof absorb and cushion shocks imposed on the walls of the cells of the outer layer, and to a large extent preventing transmission of forces of impact on the outer walls of the glove to the hand encased thereby.
The walls of the glove consist of sheet flexible plastic material with abutting margins and surfaces thereof interengaged, being adhered together as by means `of suitable adhesives or by the employment of heat and pressure, or both, as is commonly practiced in fabricating sheet plastic structures.
By fastening the tip portion of the glove in overlying relation to the palm and heel of the hand the wearer is prevented from striking an opponent with either the at of the hand or the heel thereof, which unfair blows are sometimes resorted to by boxers wearing gloves which can be spread by opening the clenched hands to expose the palm and heel portions of the gloves.
We claim:
1. In a boxing glove, spaced apart overlying inner and outer walls, a pair of separate intermediate walls interposed between said inner and outer walls and extending throughout the length and breadth thereof, said walls comprising flexible sheet plastic material and being collectively inter-engaged at the side margins and at the outer end of the glove, transverse partitions between said pair of intermediate walls providing an inner series of contiguous inner air cells between said intermediate Walls extending transversely of the glove, said partitions having restricted apertures forming a communication between adjacent of said cells, means for collectively intlating said cells; a series of transverse partitions between said pair of intermediate walls and said outer wall extending throughout the width of the glove forming an outer series of contiguous outer air cells between the pair of intermediate walls and said outer wall, said last named partitions being provided with restricted apertures communicating the air cells on the opposite sides thereof, and means for collectively inating said last named cells independent of said iirst named cells, said restricted apertures serving to permit the ow of air between adjacent cells in inflating the glove and to equalize pressure throughout each series of cells and to permit restrained displacement of air in a cell subjected to pressure.
2. The structure called for in claim 1 wherein the partitions between adjacent cells of the outer series thereof are offset relative to the partitions between the adjacent cells of the inner series thereof, whereby the outer and inner cells are staggered relative to each other longitudinally of the glove.
3. In a pneumatic boxing glove, overlying inner and outer wal1s,'an intermediate wall extending between and co-extensive with said inner and outer walls, said walls having coinciding side margins and inner and outer end margins and being inter-engaged at their side and outer end margins with said intermediate wall inter-engaged with said outer wall at the inner ends thereof; said inner wall and intermediate wall enclosing a hand receiving pocket opening at the inner ends of said walls; and a multiplicity of air cells interposed between said intermediate wall and said outer wall comprising an inner series of cells overlying said intermediate wall and an outer series of cells extending between said inner series of cells and said outer wall; said cells being elongated and extending longitudinally transversely of said wall throughout the widththereof with adjacent cells of each series separated by dividing walls, and means for iniiating said cells; said inner and outer walls, intermediate wall and dividing walls comprising a exible sheet plastic material, said dividing walls having restricted apertures therein communicating the adjacent cells.

"RE: Card f D5000,"A" batteries"
On a full battery charge I took (around) 200 pictures and over 10 minutes of video... and the meter didn't move at all. Basically, if you're getting less than 500 shots, either you have a bad battery (not terribly likely) or something in your process is draining the battery.Though, I did notice on the charge that the battery had when I got it from the manufacture, I was only able to take maybe 100 charges before I had to charge it. But since then it's been full juice.And personally, when you can get a 16GB card for less than $40... it's not worth getting 1/8 the size for 1/2 the price.

Coming Up
April 28th Show
Lynn Neary is our esteemed host today (and tomorrow as well). Here's what we're working on:
In our first hour, Howard Berkes, NPR's rural affairs correspondent, will give us an update on the young children who were recently removed from a polygamist compound in Texas. We will also hear from a spokesman for the families whose children are in state custody, an expert on Texas family law, and the president of "The Children's Shelter," a non-profit company in San Antonio that has taken-in 22 children from the compound. Following that, Les Gelb will explain whether or not we should debate with an enemy, especially if that enemy is a terrorist.
The head of the United Nations World Food Program has called the current global food crisis a "silent tsunami." It has been predicted that increases in food prices could leave more than 100 million people hungry. In our second hour, we will talk to a photographer who recently traveled to Haiti and returned with pictures of Haitians, dealing with the food shortage, and we'll speak with the director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, Jeffrey Sachs. At the end of the hour, journalist Amelia Thomas talks about the last Palestinian zoo that is located on the very edge of the West Bank. Her latest book is entitled The Zoo on the Road to Nablus.

Product Description
From School Library Journal
Grade 3-6-In these picture books, twins Josh and Emma Binkerton and their younger sister Libby are transported back in time after opening a travel guide about a specific historical period at the creepy, ramshackle Good Times Travel Agency, and the only way to get home is to read the book cover to cover. Each page features the siblings' ongoing story, cartoonlike illustrations with dialogue balloons, and yellowed guidebook pages that provide basic background information about the period. The stories are full of slapstick, but hold together well and involve readers. Though the plots are contrived to tie into the guidebooks, they don't seem forced and the flow is good. The guides are written in a breezy style, paying just enough attention to the grosser aspects of each civilization to help maintain interest. Slavin's sunny pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations are packed with details. Kids are sure to devour these lively books.

From Booklist
Gr. 2-5. In this first book in the Good Times Travel Agency series, which depends heavily on cartoon illustrations, the Binkerton twins, Josh and Emma, and little sister Libby stumble into a peculiar travel agency. The strange owner encourages the children to peruse his dusty, old travel guides, and no sooner does Josh open a book about ancient Egypt than the three children are transported back in time. It's 2500 B.C, and they're knee-deep in the Nile, with no chance of returning home until they've read every word of the book. A variety of adventures ensues, including encounters with crocodiles, tomb robbers, and angry soldiers. Bailey delivers not only a fast-paced story but also a fun way to convey information about Egyptian lifestyles, religion, and schools, and, of course, the pyramids and mummies. The busy cartoon illustrations support both the fiction and the facts. Shelley Townsend-Hudson

All books in the series follow the same format: the Binkerton children, twins Josh and Emma, and their impish younger sister, Libby, find themselves in a strange travel agency, which turns out to be a time-travel agency. On opening a history book handed to them by the owner of the agency (and author of the book), Mr. Julian T. Pettigrew, they are transported to the civilization that the book describes. In this case, they arrive in Ancient Egypt and have to cope with the various problems and crises they encounter -- conscripted into pyramid-building, being served beer to drink, encountering grave robbers and much, much more -- while reading the book that brought them there. In fact, they cannot get back to their own place and time until they have read the history book from cover to cover. Their adventures are very exciting and hysterically funny.
Each book in the series is illustrated like a comic book, with clear line-drawing pictures and with the dialogue in speech bubbles. The book that brought them there and that they have to study in order to return home is "reproduced" on each page so that you read the relevant historical facts as the heroes are experiencing it. For example, while the children are in an ancient Egyptian school, you also get to read the notes about schools and learning and hieroglyphs in Mr. Pettigrew's history book. This exposition has lots of detail that is, nevertheless, easy to read.Read more ›

Wisconsin Healthcare Facility Wins $25,000 | Facility Executive - Creating Intelligent Buildings
National Office Furniture last week presented its $25,000 Gift of Inspiration for Healthcare Environments award.
Wisconsin Healthcare Facility Wins $25,000
National Office Furniture last week announced the winner of its $25,000 Gift of Inspiration for Healthcare Environments award — the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics in Madison, WI. Specifically, the $25,000 was awarded to UW Hospital's Health and Healing Committee which plans to use the funds for both new and ongoing projects such as noise reduction, air quality, healing gardens, family caregiver support, quiet spaces, living landscapes, music to medicine, and updating mapping for awareness of walking paths and gardens to encourage outdoor activity.
Therefore, National introduced the $25,000 Gift of Inspiration to benefit healthcare organizations by supporting the needs in areas such as technology, the patient experience, staff morale, training and enrichment programs, or facility enhancements.
Ardis Hutchins, Interior Architect, UW Hospital, said, "True healing comes in part from a comfort level or peace of mind knowing that you have the caring and support of UW Hospital to overcome the challenges you face. A soothing, conscious healing environment plays a vital role in recovery and a lifetime of well being."
"Through their generosity, National Office Furniture has stepped into the role of healer," stated Joel Wish, Health Psychologist, UW Hospital, Co-Chair Health and Healing Committee. "This gift from National Office Furniture recognizes the importance of a healing environment. We're grateful for their support and what it will enable us to do for patients and families."
"Often times, what matters most cannot be found only in blood work and CT scans. In trying to understand how complex systems heal, we need to listen to the patient's unique story and their emotions to connect to their hope, meaning and purpose. These are the most powerful healing mechanisms and where we will focus the Gift of Inspiration donation," stated David Rakel, MD, Director, University of Wisconsin Integrative Medicine.
About The Award
National received over 1,000 registrants from healthcare organizations nationwide for the $25,000 Gift of Inspiration for Healthcare. Healthcare organizations could automatically register to win by visiting National's website; no purchase was necessary or required.
This is National Office Furniture's second Gift of Inspiration recipient. In October, 2009, Southwest Middle School in Savannah, GA, won the Gift of Inspiration for Education using the funds to start an after school life mentoring program for at-risk students.
National is currently running its third Gift of Inspiration, again for Education Environments, which ends on August 31, 2010.

Restoration of "Gem" in the "Jewel" Vital to Becoming Exceptional City
Many of the movie palaces built in the 1920s represented the opulence of an elegant and graceful era, where the entertainment ranged from live vaudeville troupes , organ accompanied silent movies, and the revolution of sound, which spirited patrons to locations and periods from which they replaced rituals for two hours of wonder.
The ceremony will be at 6 p.m. Thursday, Jan 3. It will be open to anyone wishing to attend. The Musical Arts Guild will provide entertainment for the reception at the Keith-Albee.
Williams told HNN that the Keith Albee is the only location he desired for the inaugural.
"It is a distinct reminder of the greatness our previous leaders expected and created for generations of Huntingtonians to follow. I hope we can be reminded of the greatness of our past and be inspired to design and develop a more Exceptional future," the Mayor elect said.
Calling the Keith "home to countless memories" for many residents, he recounted his own favorites which included seeing "The Way We Were " (Barbara Streisand, Robert Redford) in 1974 and "seeing my friend and high school teammate, Mark McVey, perform with Marvin Hamlisch," who appeared as part of the Marshall Artists Series . Hamlisch wrote the musical score for "The Way We Were."
Describing himself as a "sentimental man," the Mayor elect stated "holding our inaugural at the Keith will add another wonderful memory to my life."
Williams, who went on to play football for Marshall University, added, "My first date was to see a movie at the Keith Albee. I learned that I loved big band music when I saw Count Basie perform at the Keith in 1973. My high school graduation ceremony was at the Keith Albee.
Referring to the Keith as a "gem in the heart of the Jewel City," Williams stressed that the theatre's "restoration is necessary for the vitality of downtown Huntington. I pray that people walking into the Keith are inspired to contribute to its restoration."

Indefinitely ??? Forever???
Have you gone for a sleep study to find out why you can not have a good solid sleep?
Because if they find out you have Apena and then taking sleep meds you could be doing your system more harm than help.You could be denying your body of oxygeniated blood. If you have apena and go to sleep by medication you could stop breathing for a long period of time, maybe to the point to never breathe again. So that is why even prescribed sleep medications is for only temporary use.
I wish you the best.

EASTON, Pa. (AP) Ś The court battle between two girls and their Pennsylvania school over ôI (heart) Boobies!ö bracelets could be settled by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The Easton Area School District board voted 7-1 Tuesday night to appeal a federal appeals courtĺs decision that rejected its claim the bracelets are lewd and should be banned from school.
The case started in 2010 when two girls, then ages 12 and 13, challenged the schoolĺs ban on the bracelets designed to promote breast cancer awareness among young people.
The students, Brianna Hawk and Kayla Martinez, said they merely hoped to promote awareness of the disease at their middle school. They filed suit when they were suspended for defying the ban on their schoolĺs Breast Cancer Awareness Day.
In August, the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower courtĺs decision in favor of the girls, saying also that the district didnĺt prove the bracelets are disruptive.
Superintendent John Reinhart told The Express-Times of Easton he supports the boardĺs decision.
ôThe Third Circuit Court has compromised administratorsĺ abilities to intervene in what is and what is not appropriate in school,ö he said.
In court sessions, Reinhart had called the bracelets ôcause-based marketing energized by sexual double-entendres.ö
An attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union, which helped the girls challenge the rule, said Tuesday night the school had been hinting that it would petition the Supreme Court.
ôIĺm just really surprised that theyĺre so determined to fight this speech case of all speech cases,ö said Mary Catherine Roper. ô(The bracelets) didnĺt cause any problems in the school.ö
School district solicitor John Freund said the district had the backing of the National School Boards Association and the Pennsylvania School Board Association. He said they and other organizations are ôconcerned about the implications of a hyper-sexualized environment,ö The Express-Times reported.
The lone board member to vote against the appeal said the district should just drop the matter.
ôI think we should be done with it. Let it go. We lost 20, 30 times, I donĺt even know anymore,ö Frank Pintabone said.
Easton is one of several school districts around the country to ban the bracelets, which are distributed by the nonprofit Keep A Breast Foundation of Carlsbad, Calif.

Don't be fooled. The bow looks great. Won't give it to my son until Christmas. Good thing we ordered in advance. we will be taking it back. No quiver, or any other items. JUST the bow and 2 arrows arrived. there wasn't even a order sheet within the box for a receipt of purchase!! We also ordered 2 extra packs of the 3 pack arrows from the reviews of the arrows breaking. they look great as well. also, it shows that it is yellow. my son loves yellow, so it was another reason we went with this one. We received a green one. heads up when ordering this....you won't get what you ordered. I think they have the information marked wrong, and the picture. if you want just a bow and 2 arrows then its a great deal for the price. previous reviews state the arrows break fast, so I bought extra in case that happens on Christmas morning. if I have an issue returning this product and not getting what it states it says you get, I will give back everything and demand a refund and go with something else from another store altogether. I've never had a issue with walmart before, so I hope it goes smoothly.
My kids like the bow and they play with it almost everyday. The only big problem is the quality of the arrows. The tip already fell off on one when I got it from the store and the fletching of the other tore up after just a few hits. Fortunately, the arrows can easily be repaired. The second concern is the the absence of the armguard which is more important than the flimsy quiver the came along with it. The reason for the good rating was primarily because of the bow. It performs well. The inferior arrows and the accessory that are lacking can be upgraded/purchased as soon as the kids get acquainted with the bow.
I bought this for my son who is almost thirteen. He has been very interested in Archery, and I wanted him to try this for starters. The only bad part about this set, is that almost all the tips were broken off the first day of use. After the hit any target (ours was a cardboard box) that come off very easily. However, all in all, my son had a blast! He still uses his arrow everyday for practice, and our neighbors think its the coolest thing for his age! All of his friends want one too.
Our school needed several bows for a class. We got 2 of these bow sets and have used them for a couple of weeks. They both seem to be holding up well and appear to be very durable overall.
One problem we found is that the upper and lower bow sections fall completely out of the center handle when the string is removed. I expected it to be glued in or attached in some way. It does not seem to affect the use of the bow when it is strung, so it is not a big issue.
The arrows are not durable and the arm guard is useless, but those items can be replaced very easily.
This is not a very powerful bow and would be best for a very young archer. Probably under 7 years.
One good thing about this Barnett set and their larger bow set (Barnett Sportflight Recurve) is that they are both ambidextrous. Many other bows are only made for right-handed shooters.
My husband and I purchased two of these bows to use with our cub scout den. My husband, an avid archer, was surprised and thrilled with the quality of these bows. They're the perfect size for the boys and the included storage component makes keeping the bow and arrows together in an organized manner. For the price, they can't be beat. The bows are a bit too big for younger children, but for the 10-year-old scouts they're perfect.
Again, and as outlined below, I purchased this set (Lil' Soux) to enjoy with my children and the Sportflight for my spouse. This set also had fletching problems even with careful use. The string is a braided cord which holds up well. I recommend this product because it has not fallen apart, yet. The archery kits shipped to Walmart in good time for pickup which was convenient. Upon first use, the rubber fletching on the arrows came off after a two or three times used. Care was taken to ensure the yellow fletch and arrow were used properly. The nock wrap started unravelling as well on the first day of use. I realize these are sporting sets for kids but they didn't last very long. On a good note, I contacted Barnett who stated replacement arrows and string are being sent. Still waiting...
This bow is perfect for my 12-year old son to learn with. He loves it. Very sturdy and great quality. I'm impressed, for the price I expected much less.
This bow is the perfect bow to start small kids on who are not strong enough to use a more powerful bow. it is great for back yard target shooting at a distance of twenty yards or so. It should be remembered this bow is for target shooting only it would be useless for hunting even small game It works best with a styrofome target.
Very nice starter bow. Everything you need and the plastic it comes in also keeps the arrows with the bow and doubles as a sort of bow case. That is perfect for my kids keeping their arrows together. I bought 3 of these for my 3 kids. Ages 6 to 10. My youngest cannot shoot this yet but she loves that she has one too and will be able to shoot in a few years. My boys are 8 and 10 and from the first shot, they where in love with these. Has finger grips so np finger strain or cuts. Good size arrows and bow that both can pull back fully. They will shoot for hours daily if we would let them. As always walmart has the best price for these and they are exactily what we wanted.
my 10 year old expressed an intrest so this was the answer, so I thought. this thing is a TOY. the materials are poor and so is its performance. I should have done a better job researching and spent a little more money for a better quality piece of equipment the first time (because thats what I now have to do.
This is a perfect gift for any beginner. He had never shot an arrow but became very good. He is six years old and loves his ipad…… till we got the bow n arrow. The ipad had to take the back seat to his new toy.
The arrows are sturdy and go at least 15ft or more depending on the how far back you pull. They go at least 25+ ft. when I shoot it. The tips are great. We tore apart a old box and made a target. Arrows can pearse cardbord if shot hard enough at a short distance. Tips are impressivly strong. I caught him shooting it at our concrete wall and they were only scratched.
He treats the bow n arrows like unbreakable, throwing the bow down, stepping on them, using the bow as a walking stick ect. This archary set is a must for boys! Just lay the ground rules. No shooting at people, animals, the house or cars.
I bought this for my 8 year old son and he and his older brothers loved it. They played with it all day and the bow stood up to what a 15,12 and 8 year old could dish out. I also bought it for my nephews for Christmas and it looks like something I spent a lot of money on. The cost was great and I must say I wouldn't mind having some fun with it myself.
No Finger tab, Quiver or Adjustable sight as advertised. Just a bow and two arrows :(
When this was the deal-of-day, my 9 year old asked to purchase this with her Christmas money . It has a 15lb draw so it's a bit stiff for her as of yet. She was able to use it out of the box as it has a built-on finger pull on the string, but it will have to loosen a bit to make target shooting easier for her. The plastic piece in the picture snaps back onto the bow for storage of the arrows and sight. For people considering as a gift, it came in a large box which would be much easier to wrap than the loose ones at the store without boxes.
b nice 2 get more than 2 arrows,its a great starting bow,& who can tell if kid will like it ? well made good looking bow.
I had bought this product at Dicks and some parts were missing. However, my little brother bought one here with all parts in tact. Its decent, I was impressed for the price. The arrows that come with it are alright for beginers but for people who are more serious will need to be replaced along with the quiver. I have not tried it out much but from the little I've used it I would recomend this bow for beginers.
I bought this for my grandson for his birthday. I wasn't looking for one but it came up on deal of the day. My grandson had asked for a bow and arrow so he could protect himself when he camped out! Mine you when he camps out he is in a six man camper with tv.... He hasn't got it yet, but I'm sure he will love it... I do!
Great buy! This real bow and arrow set has just enough resistance to train with. My little boy is now a young man! Does require supervision, but perfect for his age. This is not a toy, it is a real bow and arrow and is perfect for training your boys to be men!
I bought for my 11year old son and he liked it. Very easy for him to use and handle by himself. The item is very lite but appears to be durable.
I bought this for my 14 year old and he loves it. I also have a13 year old nephew and he loves it also.
