There were many times when, as an elementary school teacher, I noticed my
students nodding off or losing focus. A quick run around the playground for
five minutes brought all of us back to class awake, alert and ready to learn
It's such a basic concept of physiology that it's impossible to understand why supposedly smart people fail to get it.

I really don't understand the graphic. It seems to say that very few students get 60 minutes of exercise 1, 2, 3, 4, or 6 days per week. How can that be?

Keeping young children seated seven-eight hours a day is abuse, and a cause for attention deficit. Many adults couldn't do this.

Wow, what a great article. I totally agree and support the findings of this article. People need more physical activity in order to learn more effectively. I think it is interesting to note that of all high school sport teams, the cross country teams have the highest average GPAs. It just makes sense that more circulation to the brain produces better cognitive results.

Agree with you and like to say physical activity at school helps kids reducing
stress, improve their concentration, memory and behavior. Physical activities
helps children in maintaining healthy body weight and better sleep at night

Greek Spinach Pie
Total Time
Prep 15 mins
Cook 25 mins
Whipping up this savory pie is a cinch when you keep frozen puff pastry on hand. Remember to use a very sharp knife to cut the pastry - if the edges of the dough are pressed together, it won't rise evenly.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 eggs
- 1 (16 ounce) package frozen creamed spinach, thawed
- 8 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 2⁄3 cup chopped scallion
- 2 teaspoons dried all purpose Greek seasoning
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed (which is half of a 17.3-oz. pkg.)
- 1 egg, beaten
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat 12x8-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Beat 4 eggs; stir in spinach, feta, scallions, and seasoning. Transfer to baking dish.
- On lightly floured surface, roll puff pastry sheet into 13x10-inch rectangle. Cut into 3/4-inch-wide strips; brush with the 1 beaten egg. Arrange pastry in lattice over filling. Bake 25 minutes or until golden.

This was delicious! The only changes I made was that I used phyllo dough instead of puffed pastry. I also made my own creamed spinach & added a bit of cheddar. I didn't think 4 eggs is quite necessary, so I decreased it to 2.5 (3 total, the half of the 3rd went to glaze the top). The phyllo dough & other changes worked great. This will definitely be a frequent meal in our house!
This was really good!!!!! I couldn't find the right size creamed spinach, so I used 2 10-ounce packages, and increased to 6 eggs, and added more of the other ingredients. Made for ZWT4.
i've only had these during thanksgiving/christmas time at my boyfriend's house since his mom makes greek food. i loved these spinach pies and was really excited to try and make them! they came out really good! i liked using creamed spinach and adding cheese to make them even cheesier! my boyfriend loved them as well! i was a little confused with the directions towards the end of the recipe so i ended up using both puff pastry sheets. One on the bottom, added the spinach filling, and then added the puff pastry on top and sealed them together! they came out really good thou! thanks for a great recipe jackie! made for zwt4

There's a sad trend in modern media where writers, pundits and professional bloviators take on the role of divine arbiters of justice following any decision or ruling by a governing body.
We see it most often in politics, mostly because everyone wants to be the person to say, "They can't do that because..."
Part of dissecting the sanctions leveled against Penn State by the NCAA has turned into this idea that Mark Emmert, as president, didn't really have the power to bring a hurricane of destruction upon the innocent land of Happy Valley.
Ty Duffy of The Big Lead was perhaps the most eloquent in his criticism, while ESPN's Ivan Maisel made it seem like Mark Emmert had gone gestapo on Penn State and completely ignored the rules and precedents set in the past.
In Maisel's case, it's as if he was completely unaware of what had gone on.
His defense was: Well, Penn State didn't break any NCAA rules.
I'm sorry, but what the heck are you talking about?
This was an institution who habitually hid the truth about a vicious and pathological child-rapist for more than a decade.
To say there was a lack of institutional control is actually ironically false. In this case, Penn State wielded complete institutional control.
To attack what the NCAA did based on some strange idea that it now sets a cumbersome, burdensome precedent doesn't make sense because the NCAA has never had to deal with something of this gravity and perhaps never will.
No, the NCAA didn't complete a full investigation before taking action. On the other hand, the criminal justice system had, as had Penn State, both providing compelling and convincing evidence that Penn State had not only known about the acts of Jerry Sandusky, but protected the truth like an offensive lineman would a quarterback.
Furthermore, there is overwhelming evidence at this point to believe any exculpatory evidence that would wash an administrators' hands clean of this.
The Paterno family insists the whole story hasn't come out. Why have they waited to provide a story?
As the ruling authority in college sports, the NCAA has the power to act in the best interest of all of its member institutions.
You'll notice the death penalty was eschewed in favor of fines and scholarship losses because the University of Indiana and Iowa and the other Big 10 schools don't deserve to suffer because one school failed on a colossal scale to show human decency.
It's bad business for the NCAA to continue it's snail act—a role-reversal Pat Forde describes beautifully—and wait months before coming down on these schools.
I'm not advocating a shoot first, ask questions later approach from the NCAA when it comes to sanctions, but that's hardly the case here.
We are now almost a year after the allegations were made public and Joe Paterno's legacy was forever tarnished.
Is there a slippery slope here? Perhaps, but the circumstances were so aberrational, so strange and unique, that I believe the NCAA's swift and draconian actions were justified.
There's no reason to believe that this now sets the stage for Mark Emmert to ride in on his horse guns blazing every time there is an impropriety.
To deny the singular circumstances involved here and the necessity for unprecedented action is to deny the truth.
What's more, waiting and allowing this season to play out without action would have done significantly more harm not only to Penn State, but the college sports as a whole.

DALLAS (AP) - Two University of North Texas astronomers think
they've found two pieces of flaming debris that streaked through
the sky, alarming residents near Dallas.
The scientists say what they found are pieces of a meteor that
is black like charcoal on the outside with a concrete gray rock
under the crust.
Ron DiLulio and Preston Starr say they found the pieces
yesterday in a pasture about 70 miles south of Dallas. They say the
samples are "size of large pecans."
The astronomers placed the samples in ZipLoc bags to keep out
the air. They plan to transfer the samples to membrane cases and
take them to the university for additional study.
People on Sunday reported seeing a fireball streak across the
sky and DiLulio says the reason it created such a fireball was
because the meteor expanded and broke into pieces.

European Stocks Advance
The Stoxx Europe 600 index rose to a nearly five-year high, after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke calmed fears that the central bank would soon fade out its easing program.
More Coverage
The index, which traded in negative territory for most of the day, inched up 0.2%, to 310.59, its highest level since June 2008.
Mr. Bernanke warned that premature monetary tightening could strangle the economic recovery, easing worries that the central bank was close to ending its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program. Cheap liquidity from central banks have sent global stock markets to multiyear highs, and any changes to such easing policies could create nervousness in financial markets.
In testimony before Congress on Wednesday, Mr. Bernanke said "a premature tightening of monetary policy could lead interest rates to rise temporarily but would also carry a substantial risk of slowing or ending the economic recovery and causing inflation to fall further."
When asked about when the Fed would slow down asset purchases, Mr. Bernanke said it could come in the "next few meetings," helping push stocks off their intraday high.
"It seems like Bernanke has confused the markets. The initial take on the actual speech was that he was more dovish, saying it would be premature to have the discussion [about ending the bond buying], but then in the Q&A session he said they could do it within the next months. That created a sense of confusion, which I'm sure he wasn't shooting for," said Tom Porcelli, chief U.S. economist at RBC Capital.
"I think that the market got the Q&A wrong," he said. "The caveat was that if data start to improve the Fed could end [the bond buying], but if they don't improve it will continue with asset purchases. There is nothing new in this." RBC Capital expects the Fed to taper off the asset purchases in fourth quarter.
The comments from the Fed chairman came a day after two other voting members of the Federal Open Market Committee spoke, with Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President James Bullard saying there isn't a case for scaling down the pace of asset purchases as long as inflation is so low. Separately, New York Fed President William Dudley said the uncertain economic outlook makes it difficult to tell if the next adjustment to the Fed's bond-buying program will be up or down.
After the European markets close on Wednesday, the central bank will release minutes from its latest meeting, which may provide more insight into the Fed's stance.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 73 points, or 0.5%, to 15461, in midday trading Wednesday.
In Asia, Japan's Nikkei Stock Average rose 1.6%, to 15627.26. The Bank of Japan concluded its two-day policy board meeting and voted unanimously to keep its monetary policy unchanged. The central bank also raised its assessment of the economy for the fifth consecutive month.
The U.K.'s FTSE 100 index closed at its highest level since December 1999, after the International Monetary Fund called for new growth measures and less austerity to help the country's economy. The index rose 0.5%, to 6840.27.
Also in the U.K., minutes from the Bank of England's latest policy meeting showed the Monetary Policy Committee voted unanimously to keep interest rates unchanged at a record low 0.5%. Additionally, three out of the nine members voted in favor of increasing the bank's asset purchases by £25 billion ($38 billion) to a total of £400 billion.
Lloyds Banking Group LYG -2.05 % added 2.3%, after the bank said it expects to meet its additional capital requirements without having to issue further equity or use contingent capital securities.
Britvic BTVCY -4.55 % surged 11%, after the beverage firm said adjusted earnings per share rose 48% for the 28 weeks to April 14, while increasing dividends 1.9%.
Kazakhmys KAZ 0.00 % dropped 6%, after UBS cut the miner to "neutral" from "buy."
Germany's DAX index gained 0.7%, to close at an all-time high of 8530.89, extending gains into a 12th straight day.
Banks posted some of the biggest advances, with Commerzbank CRZBY -3.79 % up 2.3% and Deutsche Bank DB 0.35 % rising 1.4%.
Metro jumped 10%, after Morgan Stanley MS 0.73 % said risks are solidly skewed to the upside, with analysts lifting Metro to "overweight" from "equal weight."
France's CAC-40 index added 0.4%, to 4051.11.
Lagardère jumped 3.4%, after J.P. Morgan JPM -0.27 % Cazenove lifted the stock to "neutral" from "underweight."
Roche Holding gained 3%, after Citigroup C -0.59 % lifted the drug maker to "buy" from "neutral."
In commodities markets, gold extended its rally above $1,400 a troy ounce following Mr. Bernanke's comments but later fell back to $1,370.50 on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Oil fell 1.5%, to $94.75 a barrel on the Nymex, after U.S. government data showed rising gasoline stockpiles and a smaller-than-anticipated decline in oil stocks.

NYT Excerpt: How Would Romney Manage Our Jobs Crisis?
In his New York Times Magazine column this week, Adam Davidson poses the question: Do good CEOs make good presidents? Here's an excerpt.
With only a few weeks remaining until the election, it's still not clear how Mitt Romney would manage our jobs crisis. There aren't many lessons from his term as the governor of Massachusetts — the economy was comparatively healthy back then, and the unemployment rate was fairly low. His current economic platform lays out broad principles (Principle No. 1: Don't be Barack Obama) but is light on specifics. All that's certain is that Romney has promised to use decades of business savvy to create jobs, which raises the question: how do you apply business strategy to a jobs crisis? No business views hiring as an objective. When a crisis hits, the response of many executives is to let workers go.
When I put this question to business analysts, several pointed me in the direction of Louisiana, which has applied a number of Romney's principles. Its governor, Bobby Jindal, is a former McKinsey & Company consultant who has focused on making his state more attractive to businesses. ...

Hopes & Dreams
When we're young, we're told to dream of a world without limitations, a world where we can be anything, and do anything, we can imagine. For most children that means dreaming of becoming a superhero or a Nobel Laureate, a professional athlete or famous musician. But for children who are battling cancer, the dreams tend to be a little simpler and infinitely more profound.
These children dream of a day when they'll have the strength to ride a bike in the park with their families, or play on the jungle gym with their friends, or walk down the hallway of their school again. They hope for a day without nausea or needles or hospitals, a day when they don't have to be strong and fight. A day when they don't have to be different than everyone else. These children aren't dreaming of being rich or famous or powerful, they're just dreaming of being regular, normal kids and they're hoping beyond hope that they'll get that chance before their childhood disappears forever.
The Zak!Charity Open is working hard to make sure that local children never lose sight of those critical hopes and dreams, which is why all of the proceeds from this year's event will once again go to support the Rypien Foundation and its mission to help bring hope to local families who are battling childhood cancer. The 17th annual event will get started with the Summer Celebration Dinner & Auction on Sunday, July 17th at Northern Quest Resort & Casino and continues on Monday, July 18th with the Zak!Charity Open golf tournament at Kalispel Golf and Country Club. Throughout the entire event, there will be plenty of opportunities for everyone to get involved.
Because while most of us eventually might have to let our dreams of becoming a superhero slip away, the dream of a normal childhood and the hope of a life without cancer isn't something any child should ever have to let go of.

Partnership between St. Catharine College and Washington County Schools proves successful
A recent update from the Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education and Kentucky Partnership Academies indicate that the partnership between St. Catharine College and Washington County Schools is successful.
In 2011, St. Catharine College partnered with Washington County Schools (WCS) and Elizabethtown Community and Technical College (ECTC) to establish an early college program for Washington County High School students.
Initially 25 juniors from student populations that are typically under-represented at Kentucky's postsecondary institutions participated at the start of the program known as the Washington County Commander College.
The program
The first cohort of this two-year initiative slowly moved juniors from dual credit classes scheduled and taught at WCHS to full exposure and scheduling at the St. Catharine College campus by the completion of their senior year.
Initially, the juniors moved as a cohort, but the seniors are slowly branching out with their electives as they work to attain an associate degree in liberal arts.
The first cohort participated in a summer bridge program in math at St. Catharine College to prepare them for college math (their weakest area as a group). In addition, two one-credit classes have been offered in college readiness during their senior year.
The results
Participants in Commander College are scoring significant ACT gains in English, math, science and reading. However, it's not the only area that Commander College students are excelling.
Commander College participants are achieving higher grade point averages than non-participants.
In school year 2010-11, Commander College students held an average 3.33 GPA versus an average of 2.5 GPA of their fellow students. In 2011-12, the difference was 2.96 to 2.34.
Additionally, Commander College students miss fewer days of school.
In 2010-11, Commander College students were in school an average of 164.3 days while non-participants were in school 163.6 days. In 2011-12, the gap increased to 164 versus 162.
The future
Twelve students are on track to receive their degrees in May 2013. The remaining students in the cohort have greatly increased the number of college credits they have earned and all are planning on a college career.
A second cohort of juniors has started and includes students enrolled in an associate degree in early childhood education in addition to the liberal arts offering.
Data provided by Washington County Schools. For more information about Washington County Commander College, contact Dr. Jan Lantz at St. Catharine College (firstname.lastname@example.com).

I am very satisfied with the head design, original and neat Ok, the problems: the claws are a bit smaller than my expectation, it can be enlarged, what do you think?. Also I am not very sure about the tail, I folded it like that to give the model standing support. Also the toes, should it be 5 or 4 digits? I use 5 here. Hope you guys like this one

There are required factors to calculate the Michigan Child Support Guilelines. The most important is the gross income for the parties which is then plugged into the program to calculate the amount of child support. The percentage of time will be converted to number of days. One must also review the Judgement of Divorce for further guidence.

Child support is determined by the Child Support Guidelines. If you do not have a lawyer to help you, you should consider asking the Friend of the Court to explain the numbers to you.

In the Hood: Jobs for the Poor
By BARBARA STEWART
Published: February 23, 2003
STEVEN SANCHEZ, a shy 22-year-old from the Bronx, raised on welfare, with a ninth-grade education, was doing nothing when his older sister said: ''You can't just be hanging out. Come to Greyston. You can get a good job there.''
Greyston is a cramped factory in rough southwest Yonkers that hires unskilled workers to make cakes in flavors like whiskey pistachio, Venetian wine and dense chocolate named lotus-in-the-mud. The products are sold in specialty-food departments in Bloomingdale's and Neiman Marcus and at Manhattan restaurants where they are priced at $10 a slice. The bakery also makes brownies, which are used in Ben & Jerry's ice cream, and what Zagat calls the best cheesecake in Westchester.
Greyston is, as well, an experiment begun began 20 years ago by an American Zen master. Its mission: to hire the lowest of the low -- the homeless and felons and former drug addicts -- teaching them to work and giving them a livelihood. In the process, the bakery aims thto make a profit and to do it all with style, with flair.
Improbably, it seems to be working.
''I had a whole vision -- housing, child care as well as the bakery,'' said Bernard Tetsugen Glassman, a Zen master from Brooklyn and a former aeronautics engineer who wrote handbooks for a NASA flight to Mars before taking up studies to be a Buddhist priest. ''But the bakery was the most concrete, and I hoped it would have spiritual value, in helping people to see the interdependence of life.''
Today, the Greyston Foundation, which includes the bakery, is one of the largest private providers of low-income housing in Yonkers. It runs a day care center open to the community and a home with a medical clinic for impoverished people with AIDS. Also, in partnership with a neighborhood Episcopal church, it has restored the rundown but historic Philipsburg Hall to elegance, while turning the upper floors into subsidized apartments for artists.
In April, a new $9.4 million bakery is scheduled to open , with four times the capacity of the current one. Designed by Maya Lin, the architect for the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, it was financed with municipal bonds, bank loans and $1 million from the Environmental Protection Agency to cover the reclamation of the polluted lot or brownfield on which it is situated.
''I wanted to make a great bakery, top of the line,'' Mr. Glassman said. ''And I wanted to do it working with folks our society thinks are throwaways.''
'We Will Hire Anybody'
Wednesday is open-hiring day at Greyston. ''And we seriously mean open hiring,'' said Barbara Wood, who oversees training and counseling at the foundation. ''We have a policy that we will hire anybody from the neighborhood. We don't check on prison or drugs. We don't ask for résumés or references.''
The applications are numbered. When a job opens up, the person at the top is called. New hires may be felons, people who don't speak English, drug addicts or those without job experience of any kind -- and they often are.
When Mr. Sanchez got a call to fill in on the night shift, he showed up on time, did the job and did not skip out early. He did not start fights or push people around. The next time he was called, he went in again. At Greyston that was enough to make him stand out.
In October, he got a chance on the day shift. That meant getting up at 6:30, five days a week. His friends, who either sold drugs or did nothing, objected.
''They be calling me up,'' he said. ''But I tell them I can't go out. I got to get up really early.''
He started at $5.50 per hour. Every two weeks he was evaluated for attendance, punctuality and attitude; after each satisfactory evaluation, his hourly pay rose 25 cents. In January, after three months, he was hired permanently, at a salary of $7 per hour with benefits and two weeks' paid vacation.
Mr. Sanchez, it seems, is succeeding. The vast majority of new hires do not. Four out of five are gone in a week or two, Ms. Wood said. A few start fist fights or are unduly argumentative and are fired, she said, but most disappear as soon as they get their first paycheck. Many return when it is spent, asking for another chance. But by then, Greyston will have moved on to the other applicants.
''Some people are worth working with,'' said Crystal Williams, 34, a soft-spoken bakery supervisor who came to Greyston as the homeless mother of two sons. ''And some people aren't. You can't help everybody; that's what I've learned here. But there are some people you can help. That's my goal to help those employees.''
Zen Master and Maverick
Even in the rarefied company of Zen Buddhist masters, Mr. Glassman -- or, to use his religious title, Roshi Glassman -- is known as a maverick. Very few teachers of Zen, a famously inward-directed religion with a tradition of monastic meditation, get involved with antipoverty efforts. Let alone with conservative Republican mayors, federal low-income housing grants and poor African-American Christians whose initial response was unalloyed suspicion.

By the way, I actually tried this under prefork. I compiled httpd-2.4.2 with prefork and the following configuration in a vhost: RewriteEngine on Rewritemap examplemap prg:/home/sesse/mymapper.pl RewriteRule /invalid %{examplemap:$1} and lo and behold, mymapper.pl is started as root. mod_rewrite seems to open the map programs already when parsing the configuration file, which is before the MPMs' hooks run (and that's when prefork drops its privileges). /* Steinar */ -- Homepage: http://www.sesse.net/

Sexual Assault
Sexual acts that occur by force, threat, surprise, intimidation, or by taking advantage of someone's inability to consent.
The term "sexual assault" is a broad term that includes many acts. Cases of rape also fit the broader definition of sexual assault, but not all sexual assault cases meet the definition of rape.
Sexual assault: Forcible sodomy, sexual penetration with an object, intentionally touching a non-consenting person's intimate body parts, forcing a non-consenting person to touch intimate body parts, or sexual intercourse without consent.
Rape: Sexual intercourse by force or where the victim is incapable of giving consent because of age or temporary (i.e. drunk or intoxicated) or permanent mental/ physical incapacity.
More than four out of five times people are assaulted/raped by someone they know. It could be an acquaintance. It could be a friend. It could be a date. But four out of five times, it is someone she/he has known an average of one year. Not just a few weeks, but on average, one year.
Men too experience rape. 1 in 33 men will experience rape or attempted rape. It is estimated that 1 in 10 survivors of sexual assault are males raped by another male.

This is such a great recipe! Adding a nice amount of cinnamon, a little Splenda & vanilla (like Carb Lover) really "fools" ya into thinking it's the real deal. I also used sugar free syrup. Super yum! Thank u for sharing.
I have made this several times since we are on South Beach, its not very far off from my regular french toast recipe. Only difference is I usually add a little Splenda, vanilla extract and cinnamon to my egg mix. Excellent french toast and you do not feel deprived in any way. A little sugar free maple syrup (Log Cabin's is great) and its pure YUM!! Thanks for sharing :)

There aren't many instruments versatile enough to make up entire bands by themselves, but the steel pan drum is a truly special exception. Developed in the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago in the 1930's, the steel pan drum isn't actually a drum at all, but an idiophone. The entire instrument vibrates to make the sound – not simply a drum skin – allowing it to create a range of pitches no drum could dream of. The round steel surface, traditionally repurposed from an emptied oil barrel but now often created to instrument makers' specifications, is sunken into a concave bowl shape before having any number of pitches hammered, molded and tuned into specific areas of the surface.
If you're thinking about your first steel pan, you might want to take a look at the pentatonic steel drum in G. Designed for use on a table or other flat surface, each of the 6 pitches on this pan is perfectly tuned to the pentatonic scale, so nothing sounds like a mistake. The applications of this melodic percussion instrument – from Afro-Caribbean to Jazz – are virtually endless. The mini diatonic steel drum in the key of C is tuned to an accurate A 440 and can span a generous 1 ½ octaves, making it more appealing to intermediate players. Or if you're looking for maximum melodic ability, the double mini chromatic drums, when played together, are able to sound an even more complete range of notes. The different but complementary tuning of each drum in this set makes complex chromatic melodies possible, while the clearly-defined area and pitch markings make learning easy.
An array of different tunings and note arrangements are available on the steel pan drum because no standardized pitch layout exists yet. Being the only new acoustic instrument invented in the 20th-century, the steel pan is still in development, making it an exciting instrument to experiment with. Like Trinidadian steelbands themselves – who pride themselves on unique arrangements of unexpected music, such as jazz, film and pop tunes – the steel pan drum is adaptable to a variety of different musical styles and its full potential is yet to be discovered.

Toys"R"Us says it is making steady progress with its "TRU Transformation" strategy despite a decline in same store sales in the first quarter.
The architect of the reinvention of Domino's Pizza will become the next CEO of Toys"R"Us in July.
A strengthened omnichannel fulfillment model helped slow the pace of sales declines at Toys "R" Us last year and now the retailer is looking to execute the next phases of transformation strategy to restore profitable growth.
Santa did not bring any gifts this past holiday season for Toys "R" Us, as the toy retailer reported a drop in same store sales.
Expense control and a more rational promotional environment helped Toys "R" Us reduce the size of its third quarter operating loss but the company had little to say about its outlook for Christmas sales and profits.
As part of its continued long-term profitable growth strategy, Toys"R"Us has appointed a number of executives to key leadership roles.
For the second consecutive quarter, Toys "R" Us has delivered positive comparable store net sales results in its U.S. and international segments.
Former AutoNation CFO Michael Short will become the new CFO at Toy's "R" Us on June 23 to replace Clay Creasey who left the retailer after eight years.
Toys "R" Us reported a 4% same store sales increase during the first quarter, a surprisingly strong figure given the weather related challenges cited by other retailers who experienced weak sales.
Following a disappointing fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Feb. 1, Toys "R" Us hosted investors, industry analysts and the media and outlined its strategy for improving its operational performance and driving profitable growth in the future.
Antonio Urcelay has replaced Gerald Storch as chairman of Toys "R" Us and the retailer also named Richard Markee to its board.
Toys "R" Us late Wednesday named Antonio Urcelay CEO and brought in former Walmart executive Hank Mullany to serve in the newly created role of president of U.S. stores.
Toys"R"Us has reported financial results for the second quarter ended Aug. 3 on the heels of a special event the retailer held at its flagship location in the heart of New York City's Time Square and which detailed its initiatives as it prepares to tackle the holiday shopping season.

What draws non-nurses to AN.com?
14 Just saw a thread from a fairly distressed RN who fears losing her first nursing job. The very first response was from someone who stated "while I am not a nurse, I think ...."
It made me stop and think - I wonder what draws non-nurse, non-medical people here? And to give advice? I can't imagine being interested enough in an engineering forum, for example, to hang out on it, let alone offer advice in an area in which I have no experience or training.
Don't get me wrong, I have no issue with anyone posting on any forum. I just find it curious. Perhaps my worldview is too limited and I need to expand my Internet browsing beyond AN.com?0Jul 22, '13 by wish_me_luckAre they a nursing student?0Jul 22, '13 by roser13, ASNQuote from wish_me_luckDon't think so. They described themselves as a "non-nursing outsider."Are they a nursing student?17Jul 22, '13 by jadelpn, LPN, EMT-B GuideAw, Roser, you don't want to discuss building code with engineers????
Nursing is a profession that reflects all sorts of human conditions. Sometimes it is a "I am not a nurse but I play one on TV" mindset, sometimes it is a "I have been treated not so great by nurses, so I want to understand how they tick" or sometimes it is "nurses are compassionate, I think I need to discuss this with professionals". Even though TOS prevent medical advice giving, it can be emotional support someone is seeking.
Then there are the "watchdogs" who want to assure themselves that there are nurses in the world who are up on professionalism, improvement, that when one brings little Joey in for an earache they can "speak the language".
Then there are the "I think I want to be a nurse so I am gonna hang for awhile and see..." or "I always wanted to be a nurse"
Multitude of reasons, sometimes I think that it is interesting how others see nurses and a nursing profession. Sometimes it is annoying. But the magic of threads is the ability to answer to and hopefully set straight some misconceptions, celebrate in the successes.

They think we're the cheaper/faster/convenient/more private alternative than going to their own healthcare provider.
As far as non-nurses who come here and give advice...the fact that they are not a nurse doesn't mean their advice should automatically be discounted.

Even for the Nepalese children who are healthy and who can run and play, getting a formal education is a challenge. However, for disabled children in a country where sidewalks are rare and many remote areas don't even have paved roads, getting to school becomes an impossibility.
NYF's Disabled Student Scholarship Program has been helping these students gain access to the education that they crave. And, in many situations, the disabled child, once educated, becomes the source of the highest income in the household, thus raising everyone in the family to a more sustainable economic level.
We appreciate the support you have given us and we are grateful for your contributions to the opportunity to learn for these disabled, yet bright and eager children and young adults.
And, now, next Wednesday, March 14 ONLY...
... because we appreciate every dollar you have given to support our program, NYF is thrilled to invite you to participate in GlobalGiving's Bonus Day event.
Wednesday, March 14, 2012, GlobalGiving.org will match 30% for every dollar you donate! $50,000 in matching funds are available, but only on March 14. This 30% matching offer begins right after the stroke of midnight, March 13, and runs only until the $50,000 is claimed. Once the funds are used, no more matching funds will be applied.
Add even greater value to the gifts you give NYF. Mark your calendars for NEXT Wednesday, March 14, 2012.
And, GlobalGiving will make this 30% match for single contributions up to $1,000! That's $1,300 value for a $1,000 donation.
As far as the Disabled Student Scholarship Program goes, this means that we could provide FOUR students with an entire year of education at a special school for the disabled, PLUS provide transportation to and from school to all of them. This is almost twice the value of services that the original donation can provide!
Thank you again for your support of the Nepal Youth Foundation. Namaste!

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
The Small Press Expo has unveiled Chris Ware's poster for this year's convention, which will be held Sept. 15-16 in Bethesda, Maryland. You can see the full poster below, and in much larger form on the SPX Tumblr (which is kind of great, and deserving repeat visits and "likes").
Ware will be a special guest at the event, along with Dan Clowes and Gilbert and Jamie Hernandez. It's been several years since I've attended SPX, but it's a terrific (and creator-focused) show. If you've never made the trip, this is shaping up to be the perfect year to change that.
Always a fan of Ware's work, and it's a nice looking poster. It does make me laugh, though, the anachonism of the future artist still working with pen and paper. Obviously Ware's asthetic is more retro-future and idealistic, but it still makes a strong statement about Ware's POV.

Gamiani, or Two Nights of Excess (Paperback)
Email or call for price
Special Order
"' What a picture ' She shivered, making her breasts quiver, and I realized that this confession, far from horrifying her, was feeding her lust. You'll send the devil back into our flesh.' "
Considered one of the truly great French writers of the nineteenth century, famed poet and novelist Alfred de Musset once decided (as great French writers are wont to do) to try his hand at erotic fiction. The glorious result was Gamiani, a classic tale of sensual pleasure and sexual excess. Reputedly inspired by the debauched history of Musset's former lover-the irrepressible George Sand-it is the classic erotic story of one man, two women . . . and two incomparable nights of uninhibited sexual adventure.
About the Author
Alfred de Musset (1810-1857) was a French poet, playwright, and novelist. He was born in Paris to a well-to-do family and turned to writing after first studying to be a doctor. Influenced by Lord Byron and Shakespeare, he fraternized with many great French writers such as Victor Hugo. He died in 1857 of a heart malfunction.
John baxter's books include biographies of Federico Fellini, Luis BuNuel, Woody Allen, Stanley Kubrick, and Robert De Niro, and the memoir "We'll Always Have Paris: Sex and Love in the City of Light". Born in Australia, he now lives in Paris.

VERNON, Fla. (AP) -- Heavy rains in the Florida Panhandle have flooded roads and nearly a dozen buildings.
Washington County officials say nearly a dozen buildings in Vernon were flooded Thursday. The rising waters prompted emergency managers to move an emergency shelter from the Vernon High School to the county's agricultural center in Chipley.
Authorities also closed all dirt roads in the county early Thursday due to the excessive rainfall.
The rains also have prompted officials across the Panhandle to cancel or reschedule Fourth of July festivities and fireworks.

Skip to comments.Wisconsin Pen Pal of Soldier Dies
Posted on 12/22/2005 6:24:26 PM PST by Diana in Wisconsin
CAMP NAVISTAR, KUWAIT - The sergeant held a stack of letters written by Sunday school students - fanned out like a deck of cards - and Spc. Martin Mcgee picked one.
He looked at the name on the envelope: Megan. In the letter written in pencil in neat penmanship, Megan asked what it was like to be a soldier in Iraq. She asked the soldier who opened her letter to write back.
Mcgee wrote back.
He told her what it's like here in the desert, and he sent her a picture of himself in his green uniform and helmet, holding his M-4 rifle. So began a pen pal relationship that ended last month with the tragic death of one of the letter writers.
The girl who wrote the letter in Sunday school last summer was Megan Obbink.
The Cedar Grove girl who drowned with her dad while ice skating the day after Thanksgiving has traveled throughout this war-torn region in the pocket of a Wisconsin soldier, who was so touched by Megan's words that he always carries one of her letters and photos when he heads out on dangerous missions guarding supply convoys in Iraq.
The unlikely pair - a 20-year-old soldier from Hortonville who wants to be a teacher someday and a 10-year-old girl who sang in her church choir and had a dog named Charlie - intersected by chance.
It was mid-September in Kuwait when Mcgee, who is stationed at this outpost on the Kuwait-Iraq border with the Appleton-based 2nd Battalion, 127th Infantry of the Wisconsin Army National Guard, randomly picked Megan's letter.
"When I got her letter, I looked it over and said, 'Well, these questions aren't hard.' I thought she just wanted to know what it's like," Mcgee said this week, shortly after returning from a four-day mission in Iraq.
"When you take that step to write back, you know there's a person on the other end of the letter. When you send a letter back, you make a connection."
Mcgee, a gunner who also works in the battalion's tactical operations center, frequently e-mails friends and family, but Megan was the first person he sent a letter to via snail mail.
Megan was ecstatic to hear from Mcgee, who quickly became "her soldier" - her link to the war in Iraq, said her aunt, Carol Mentink.
"He had sent her a picture of himself with some of the people from that area," Mentink said in a phone interview this month. "Megan wrote back and said, 'Which one are you?' - which is pretty sweet because it's pretty obvious which one is him."
She excitedly told her Sunday school class at Calvary Orthodox Presbyterian Church in Cedar Grove that she had received a letter all the way from Kuwait. Of the four pupils who wrote letters to servicemen, she was the only one to get a reply.
"This was just her own personal soldier to hear from," said her Sunday school teacher, Sandy Veldboom.
In her second letter, she wrote:
Dear Martin, It's Megan! I liked the picture you sent me. Were the people next to the motor bike good or bad? Are you holding a tranquilizer gun? What is that thing on your hat? Do you get hot in all the Army clothes? I am 10. Are there any bombs there? My church is praying for you and all the army men. Is the Army fun? I hope you find Bin Laden. From Megan. P.S. Please send more pictures.
The "thing on his hat" was night vision goggles attached to Mcgee's helmet.
The letter, folded neatly in quarters, always travels with Mcgee.
"I carry it with me, so Megan has been to Iraq. She's been everywhere," he said.
Megan meant so much to Mcgee that he keeps in the cargo pocket of his uniform a picture of her getting a piggyback ride from one of her older sisters. He had planned to visit her when he returned home from the war next summer.
Mcgee meant so much to Megan that she spent part of her Thanksgiving holiday writing a letter wishing him a happy Thanksgiving. The letter was picked up from the mailbox at her family's rural home the day she died.
It arrived at Camp Navistar the next week. By then, Mcgee knew.
His battalion commander, Lt. Col. Todd Taves, had received an e-mail from his wife, whose mother was Megan's Sunday school teacher. Taves sought out Mcgee and told him.
"The first thing that popped into my head was it wasn't supposed to happen that way. Something should have happened to me, not Megan," Mcgee said.
That cruel twist of fate was not lost on Veldboom, who thought about the possibility that one of her Sunday school students might have to face the news that his or her soldier had been killed in action.
"You never know; they may have to hear some very sad news about the person they were writing to," Veldboom said. "That would be what we would think before we would ever think about something happening to a little girl going ice skating."
Mcgee sent an e-mail to Megan's family through the funeral home, telling them how much the inquisitive little girl and her letters had meant to him and how much she had changed his life. Her family received it on the day of the funeral for her and her father, Brian Obbink, 44, who died trying to save Megan.
Among the many survivors named in Megan's obituary was Mcgee, whose photo and condolence letter were framed and displayed at the funeral. "I was honored. I felt humbled by that," Mcgee said. "It was touching that I meant so much to her."
'Touching Story About a Little Girl and Her Soldier' Ping!
You gotta read this, too. Get out the tissues! Ping as you see fit. ;)
OH, jeez...what a sad, touching story. I really have no words...just damn. (to borrow a phrase).
Well that brought on a good cry. God Bless Megan and her soldier.
Wow, that really brought tears to my eyes. That is so sad.
Thank you for posting this. The poor Obbink family, having lost Megan and her dad do tragically, and poor Sgt. Megee.
It's real easy for Guard soldiers to make that kind of personal connexion -- both to the folks at home and to the folks in-country.
I thought what the BC and his Sunday-School teacher wife did was a class act.
And let this be a message to the guys, too -- if you get an "any soldier" letter from a kid, write back. You could be doing a world of good.
In our FOB we had a lot of patriotic scribbles by five and seven year old hanging up all over the place... that, and a letter from Roger Donlon (the first MOH in our regiment, and the first in Vietnam). I dunno what COL (ret) Donlon would think that his was the only letter hanging up that was written by an adult!

misty eyed bump
Oh my goodness. This made me cry. God bless that poor little girl, her father, and the family left behind.
That soldier is an excellent example of the best of the best this country has to offer. God bless him and all our troops.
awesome story. so sad.
I did, I fear commetary is beyond me.
Yep! Already sent it on to a FRLadies ping list with a severe tissue warning.
Hard to reply though the tears.
Yeah I guess this is what they do when they are not terrorizing woman and children in their homes.(Sarcasm)
Words elude me. Just numb.
God Bless Megan and her dad and the family they left behind. God Bless Martin for answering her letters and sharing his time with her.
You might want to read this and pass it on to our group.
Prayers for all.
I got a letter when I was in Kuwait. I'm not much of one for writing so I just sent a nice Post Card of the city back and thanked her for remembering soldiers overseas.
Doesn't take much effort and the "Free Mail" instead of a stamp must raise a few eyebrows.
So all you service members out there, if you get one in the mail at least send a short note thanking them.
Well there goes a box of tissues.

Just isn't right.
Will Dakota Fanning be playing Megan in the movie, I wonder? This will be a movie some day, you know.
that was so beautiful and so sad, I have goose bumps on top of goose bumps, and am having trouble seeing the screen
You were right, Sandy...I did need them. God rest her sweet soul!
May Megan and her dad rest in peace.
Yup.. blnode and blue.
Sad, eh?...
Thank you for posting this incredibly sad, very touching story.
Prayers for the family and for the soldier, and all the men and women who are serving.
ping for a good cry
Thanks for the ping.
What a tragic and, yet, heartwarming story.
Yes, it is.
I don't know why someone doesn't...make a movie of this or the 1,000's of other great stories coming out of this war.
Now that one made me cry.
Touching in the extreme.
So difficult to read but so like an American soldier and a ten year old American girl--just plain great, decent people all the way around.
God bless Megan and Mcgee
Thanks for the post. Sad but wonderful. Americans like these make this country the light of the world.
Another Diana-owes-me-ANOTHER-monitor Ping!
a ping before nodding off.
bring kleenex
thanks for the ping
Words just won't suffice in a moment such as this. Prayers for Megan's family and SPC Martin McGee. sob

Agroecological farming works. It's productive, strengthens rural communities and sustains regional food economies.
Innovative farmers and ranchers have, for generations, deliberately invested in building soil health. And this year — with the UN's International Year of Soils and implementation of California's Healthy Soil Initiative well underway — we'll be pressing policymakers to turn innovation for healthy soil into standard practice.
The timing could not be better. Widespread implementation of practices that build and protect soil health is the only certain thing that will ensure farmers' ability to both mitigate and adapt to worsening conditions associated with climate change. California's historic drought provides a dramatic case in point.
EPA's proposed new protections for bees fall short. EPA's new rule has made headlines. After years of pressure from PAN and our partners for federal decisionmakers to take the bee crisis seriously, it's good to see EPA acknowledge the pesticide problem. But EPA's proposed new rule is remarkably short on meaningful action.
Linda joined PAN in winter 2011, bringing nearly a decade of organizing experience with environmental and economic justice issues.

Devika grew up on a small farm in Northern India where her parents continue to grow most of their own food using traditional ecological farming practices. Upon moving to the U.S. she was appalled and mobilized as she learned about food waste, and the health and livelihood harms inherent in our global agricultural system. As a student, Devika organized and led campus workers' rights and ecological sustainability initiatives, helping to build strong multi-racial alliances around these and other social and environmental justice campaigns.
Clint had over 20 years experience as a network technician, webmaster and consultant, specializing in Mac systems, prior to joining PAN in 2006.

Bryce Harper May Miss Remainder of Season With Hamstring Injury
Bryce Harper, the top overall pick in the 2010 Major League Baseball draft, may miss the remainder of his minor league season with a hamstring injury, Washington Nationals manager Davey Johnson said.
Stephen Strasburg, 23, the No. 1 overall selection taken by the Nationals in 2009, is scheduled to pitch his fourth rehabilitation game on Aug. 22, almost a year after undergoing surgery on his elbow.
Harper, 18, who plays for the Double-A Harrisburg Senators, injured the ligament Aug. 18 while running to third base in the eighth inning of the team's 4-2 win at Akron, Ohio. He was placed on the seven-day disabled list yesterday, the team said.
"He probably won't play the rest of the year, as far as I know," Johnson said on the team's website. "There's only a few games left. No sense in taking a chance and aggravating it where it becomes more of a serious injury."
The regular season ends Sept. 5.
Harper is batting .256 with three home runs and 12 runs batted in through 37 games with Harrisburg. Earlier in the season, he hit .318 with 14 home runs and 46 RBIs in 72 games with the Class-A Hagerstown Suns.
Strasburg will join the Suns for his third rehab appearance with the minor league team since Aug. 7. He will throw 65 pitches or four innings, Johnson said.
Strasburg also started one game for the Potomac Nationals in preparation for his return to the major league roster in September.
The righthander struck out 14 batters in his Major League debut with Washington. He had signed a record $15 million, four-year contract.

I have the stars rating ability successfully showing up in three pages, by using the starrating shortcode. Now I am trying to show the star rating of one of those pages on another page with the shortcode starreview, specifically:
[starreview tpl=16 post=848]
The post ID of the page (page, not post, if it matters) is 848.
Nothing shows up at all with this shortcode.
I'm on the latest release 1.9.8.
