This proposal for a collaborative Program Project Grant (PPG) focuses on mechanisms of TH2 inflammation in asthma. The unifying hypotheses are: (i) TH2 inflammation underlies the most common molecular phenotypes of asthma;(11) Epithelial cells secrete cytokines and chemokines to initiate and amplify TH2 inflammation in the airway;(ill) Innate helper type 2 (IH2) cells and CD4+T cells are key cellular targets of epithelial cytokines and chemokines and principal sources of TH2 cytokines in the airway. Project 1 will focus on the role of iH2 cells as proximal regulators of TH2 inflammation in the airway. This project proposes to characterize markers for these cells, delineate their role in allergic airway responses and collaborate with investigators in Project 3 to advance understanding of iH2 cells in human asthma. Project 2 will identify the miRNAs that regulate helper T cell functions relevant to asthma, examine miRNA expression patterns in CD4+T cells and iH2 cells in clinical samples from asthmatic patients, and characterize the mRNA targets and In vivo function of select miRNAs. Project 3 will investigate the role of Innate helper type 2 cells as cellular mediators of TH2-high asthma, determine how IL-33 amplifies TH2 inflammation in acute severe asthma, and explore how genetic variation in ST2 modulates airway TH2 inflammation in asthma. These projects will be supported by three cores, which will provide administrative support, access to high quality biospecimens from well-characterized asthmatic subjects and healthy controls, and expert biostatistical and bioinformatic support. The PPG represents a collaborative program of research that brings together mechanism-oriented clinical researchers from UCSF's Airway Clinical Research Center (ACRC) (Fahy and Woodruff) with disease-oriented basic immunologists from UCSF's Sandler Asthma Basic Research Center (SABRE) (Locksley and Ansel) Together, these investigators will work collaboratively using a variety of experimental approaches. Including studies in human biospecimens in a PPG that promises to advance understanding of airway TH2 inflammation in ways that are highly relevant to patients with asthma.
Asthma is a common disease affecting patients from childhood to old age. Allergic airway inflammation characterized by T helper type 2 (TH2) inflammation is central to the cause of asthma, and better understanding of how TH2 inflammation starts and Is sustained in the airway will help guide new treatments for patients with asthma and other allergic diseases.

High Blood Pressure |
Dyazide-lisinipril-cozaar06/25/2007 |
all these medications caused the blood sodium to drop to 121 in hospital for 4 days on IVs with potassium chloride 20 meqs.Dyazide caused this with BP up
Dyazide is a combination of two water pills: triamterene and hydrochlorothiazide. Triamterene causes the serum potassium level to go up, while hydrochlorothiazide causes it to drop. It is difficult to predict which one of these two effects dominates, but in general, changes in serum potassium are quite small with use of Dyazide. In your case, it appears that you developed low levels of both sodium and potassium.
Low serum sodium levels (hyponatremia) are common with use of diuretics. If a person drinks more fluids than usual, a low serum sodium can develop, and some patients are more sensitive to this problem than others. Mild hyponatremia is harmless, but more severe drops in serum sodium can become dangerous. A level of 121 is sufficiently low to be of concern. You should probably avoid further use of diuretics.
Lisinopril and Cozaar have no effect on sodium levels, but can increase potassium levels. It may be useful to try to use lisinopril and/or Cozaar together with a beta blocker. This would prevent low potassium levels and have no effect on serum sodium. Another class of drugs that has no effect on sodium nor potassium levels is calcium channel blockers. Remember that your systolic blood pressure should be 130 mmHg or lower.

- ActionScript.org's CS3 Web Premium Suite Review
To The Future!
Gerard Mason
Gerard Mason runs Big Friendly Apes, a boutique Flash and web development studio in Melbourne, Australia.
View all articles by Gerard MasonIt would be easy to say the Web Premium package is essentially updated and refreshed versions of Adobe's standard set of products with the added bonus that for the first time they have been able to include applications like Flash and Dreamweaver as a result of the Macromedia acquisition. In many ways that is what we have got here, but there is at least some effort on Adobe's part to create a suite of products that is not only a complimentary set of tools for designing and developing web content, but also a set of tools that seam together well.
This brings us to an interesting point to end the review; How well have Adobe done at incorporating the newly acquired applications in its stable with its old ones, and where exactly are Adobe heading with this product line?
Most of the recent changes to Flash revolve around producing interactive web based content (with many of the new features having to do with ActionScript, import/export of artwork, capturing motion as XML etc...) and not a lot has been done to re-enforce Flash's reputation as a powerful animation tool. As we head further and further into rich media and user-generated content presented on the internet, should we assume that Flash will begin to be biased towards facilitating this sort of content?
In my opinion that is exactly what we will see, with perhaps minor changes and bug fixes in terms of Flash's capabilities as an animation tool, but none of the more advanced feature requests floating around the web, such as After Effects style curves for fine control over tweened animations, and hierarchical linking of objects.
Whatever way it pans out, integration between applications will be the key to future success and, whilst nice Illustrator and Photoshop importers are an excellent addition to Flash, it is hard to shake the idea that, particularly in the case of Illustrator, this is something of a workaround.
What would be great, and hopefully something that is in the minds of those at Adobe, is a transparent relationship between Illustrator and Flash files - that is, opening a Illustrator file in Flash (as in 'File->Open', rather than 'File->Import') should yield all artwork in it's right place, layers preserved and all features supported. Similarly, the Flash drawing tools would ideally be identical to the Illustrator ones so that, in that case of projects with more modest requirements, design tasks could be completed entirely in Flash, or tweaks made to artwork produced in Illustrator with tools that are up to the job.
This transparent integration is something that is sorely missing from this release, and would undoubtedly be the most attractive feature to those engaged in web design, development or any other sort of emergent new-media type production as it would speed up the project workflow considerably when build time arrives.
Overall the Adobe® Creative Suite® 3 Web Premium package is a good step towards providing a seamless and efficient method of producing Web projects from design to delivery, but we may have to wait for a future version before we see the kind of tight and transparent integration that we thought was possible when Adobe brought Macromedia under its umbrella.
Whilst this release is not the be all and end all web development suites, the most exciting thing going on here is that it definitely has the potential to be that very thing, and by the looks of it Adobe are most certainly working towards that goal.

Orajel of the Species
Mook rock, punk jocks, even if it's rap schlock, it's still rock and roll to me. A nice sentiment, and one I firmly believe, but that doesn't make rock, circa: now, particularly good or anything. We've reached a lull, the kind which prompts critical types to convincingly and with sarcastic lamentation declare that metal (among other things) is dead. Again.
What's this, the fifth or sixth time? To be fair, the obituary is as understandable as it is erroneous. The last time metal got as stagnant as nowthe late '80sit was killed off by better metal (a/k/a grunge, industial, etc.). The same is bound to happen now, as the sub-genius genus does its Darwinian dance. In fact, it's already bubbling over.
Theatre of Tragedy were among the first acts to meld gothic overtones with the white noise of black metal. Their atmospheric, serene brutality has since become commonplace on niche labels, which might be one reason that their new Assembly sounds more like Peep Show-era Siouxsie jamming with Ace of Base. Guitar is MIA for over half of the disc, and Theatre's "beauty and the beast" trademark, trading off tranquil female yin with growling male yang, is gone. Sultry Liv Kristine Espenæs still smoothly emotes dark 'n' diva-like, but now Raymond Rohonyi's choral contribution is a mechanical, eerily calm spoken word. "Play" sounds like "West End Girls" if the Pet Shop Boys donned black lipstick, and the most metallic moment, "Universal Race," is just as danceable as "Superdrive," the most disco moment, is heavy. Theatre of Tragedy realize, as like-minded Norwegian metal hobgoblin Mortiis did on his recent synth-pop opus Smell of Rain, that the view from a dancefloor is just as appealing as that from a mosh pit.

If Beck grew up actually liking Judas Priest, and not in some ironic Heavy Metal Parking Lot wink-wink-nudge-nudge way, and he thought the Butthole Surfers' "Pepper" was the best single in 1996, he might have wound up like this.
Your first taste was probably the supposedly banned-by-MTV "Hey Mister," an open letter to a dad whose daughter is the requited object of Custom's lust. "God gave her the perfect body, now I'm all up in it," he sneers triumphantly as industrial funk-metal blurs by. But the six-foot-eight skate-rat New Yorker comes across enough like a stand-up guy on the rest of his album that you wonder if he makes love to you and fucks everyone else.
"Morning Spank," about how "a friend doesn't let a friend bang another friend's girlfriend", also hits on sexual politics; other fare ranges from introspection both American bad-ass ("Daddy") and spiritually contemplative ("One Day"). In "Like You," an MC 900 Foot-sized scrap-mettle melodrama, the poor guy even admits he's lonely.
Give or take minimal contributions from the unlikely likes of Duncan Shiek and A Perfect Circle's Billy Howerdel, Custom (né Duane Lavold) plays all the instruments on Fast. So he's most likely of the Keanu Reeves school where acting dumb only means nobody is going to expect much from you. Stupid people don't rhyme "excuses" with "how loose she is" and "juiciness." Custom may be a smartass, but he's no dumbass.

port noise has to do with the size of the port or obstructions in the airflow through the port.
I'm no expert by any means but from what I understand, efficiency of large boxes come from allowing the woofer to reach xmax sooner than in a small box, given the same amount of power. I also think that large boxes rise less through the impedance curve, but there are others that say that smaller boxes have less impedance rise, I don't have the equipment.... yet, to test that theory.

Learning Commons Located in Buckley Center 163, the Learning Commons houses the Integrated Writing Program, Math Resource Lab, Speech Resource Center, and the International Languages and Culture Language Lab.
Math Resource Center The Math Resource Center offers students free tutoring in their mathematics courses. There are tutors for statistics, pre-calculus, business calculus, finite mathematics, calculus, and vector calculus. No appointment is necessary -- students can drop in whenever they have a question. A schedule of tutors (time and subjects in which they can tutor) will be distributed to every student in a math class. The center is also a good place to meet with fellow students to work on homework assignments and projects. The Math Resource Center also offers a calculus preparation website that can assist students with their studies.
The Writing Center When students need help with writing assignments, they turn to the Writing Center. The program offers peer tutoring and assistance in writing across the curriculum, from nursing to fine arts to engineering. Students using the center work with a trained Writing Assistant in short (15-30 minute) one-on-one sessions.
International Languages and Cultures Language Lab The Department of International Languages and Cultures provides a language lab to students wishing to use Internet language and cultural websites. The lab is equipped with six Apple Macintosh computers with headsets and microphones. The language lab is also used from time to time by faculty and students for small classes, projects and group work.
Speech Resource Center The Speech Resource Center was created to address public speaking needs across the curriculum and provides assistance for students from all majors. Speech assistants are trained to advise students on research, preparation, practice, and delivery of high quality speeches.
University Health and Counseling Center The University Health Center strives to promote the health of heart, mind, and body. Health and counseling services are offered within a single health care center. The Office for Students with Disabilities is also located in the health center. Services are available to all University of Portland students.

ROCHESTER — A two-car crash on Columbus Avenue and Portland Street Sunday afternoon resulted in at least one tow, according to the Rochester Police Department.
After two four-door sedans collided at the intersection, officials were called to the scene including Rochester police and fire departments at 2:53 p.m. No injuries were reported by any of the occupants.
Sgt. Eric Babine said officers are still investigating the cause of the crash and limited details were available Sunday evening. He said at least one of the vehicles was towed away due to heavy damage.

In response to Associated Press article on May 10, 2013, "California grants secrecy to state health exchange": This is not the way we want our money spent — secretly. The government is to be transparent with our money. Our eyes need to see what is going on.
I was in a government purchasing field for over 15 years. We had to be transparent on the purchase of all products and services. Transparency and the public's right to know is the cornerstone of proper government procurement. We need to see that things are being done above-board. Secrecy does not allow for that. We do not do big government business with a wink and a nod. This health bill has enough problems without this type of potential thievery.
What if your city did not allow you to know what was going on? For instance, if you are selling goods or services to the government, it is your right to know what your competition has bid or proposed. Also, how was the final award decided? It is our money!
Call your representatives on this one. This is wrong and needs to be repealed. This tyranny needs to stop soon.

New uniforms give us a special glimpse of Backus' backside
Here's hoping you've already eaten lunch or that you're training for the upcoming Yom Kippur fast, because we've got quite a photo to show you from Sunday's Lions-Rams game.
It's not really a wardrobe malfunction, per se. It's more of a wardrobe dysfunction. And Lions tackle Jeff Backus probably wants a word with the designer.
When Nike released its new uniforms in April, the company's creative director of football told CBSSports.com's Will Brinson that Nike's overall approach was to make the material lighter. To do that, Nike eliminated some of the double-layered padding.
"Some of those materials that were two-layered -- like the existing over-the-shoulder panels were two layers and were nonstretch," Todd Van Horne told Brinson – who also apparently has trademarked the term Baby Got Backus. "So we thought if we could make it stretch material and make it a single layer and still have the same strength, why wouldn't we want to do that?"
And as for the backside of the pants? As Brinson wrote at the time, "fans will notice slightly-raised and indented thigh padding in addition to padding on the rear of the pants."
Fans also are noticing something else from Backus' backside, thanks to this screen grab from The Postgame. Behold:
Yes, we're seeing a little too much of Jeff Backus. (The Postgame) |
I don't think all of this can be blamed on Nike (or on Backus' sweaty behind, for that matter). Obviously, this is a huge misstep by the NFL in general. Like real life, it's clear that players should NOT be wearing white after Labor Day.

Oral hygiene is tremendously important, obviously. From the moment our baby teeth burst through our baby gums, we learn to floss and brush with consistent regularity to keep that whole mouth cavity fresh and clean. Unfortunately, some of the products we use to keep our jaws in good condition can be potentially harmful especially since we use them everyday, more than once. Fluoride is a controversial substance, sodium lauryl sulfate (the stuff that makes your toothpaste frothy) tears up the sensitive tissue in your mouth, there are sweeteners and additives and abrasives——I mean, have you ever tried to read the back of a standard tube of toothpaste? I would say you'd read some disturbing stuff, but the print is usually too small and those words sound a lot like mad-scientist vernacular.
While researching toothpastes, I found a website called Toothpaste World (check it out; it sucked me in). I learned some pretty neat-o stuff in their "Interesting Facts" section; for instance, before toothpaste as we know it was invented, "people used all kinds of dry, rough things as an abrasive to clean their teeth – things like crushed eggshell, pumice, the burnt hooves of animals." THE BURNT HOOVES OF ANIMALS. I'm glad our oral care rituals have progressed.
Some hippies like to use Dr. Bronner's as toothpaste or potions they concocted themselves with coconut oil, chia seeds and whatnot–I'm not sure I'd be able to commit to that, but I'd still like to stop using such scary stuff in my sensitive mouth-hole. If you're like me, scrubbing your fangs with pastes made from artificial sweeteners and weird cancer chemicals creeps you out just enough to try the natural stuff. I've been hunting for the healthier brands and lo and behold, Tom's of Maine isn't the only company that makes natural toothpaste.
Here's a guide to natural toothpastes other than Tom's of Maine, which you probably already knew about:

9.17: Importance of Arthropods
Are arthropods just creepy and scary?
Many arthropods, such as scorpions, insects, and spiders, have a reputation of being a nuisance or even harmful. But even if they are a little scary to you, that doesn't mean that the world would be fine without them.
Importance of Arthropods
Have you ever been startled by a bee landing on a flower? Or surprised by a swarm of pill bugs when you overturned a rock? These arthropods might seem a little scary to you, but they are actually performing important roles in the environment. Arthropods are important to the ecosystem and to humans in many ways.
Arthropods as Food
Many species of crustaceans, especially crabs, lobsters (Figure below), shrimp, prawns, and crayfish, are consumed by humans. Nearly 10,000,000 tons of arthropods as food were produced in 2005. Over 70% by weight of all crustaceans caught for consumption are shrimp and prawns. Over 80% is produced in Asia, with China producing nearly half the world's total.
Lobsters are one kind of arthropod food source.
Arthropods in Pest Control
Humans use mites to prey on unwanted arthropods on farms or in homes. Other arthropods are used to control weed growth. Populations of whip scorpions added to an environment can limit the populations of cockroaches and crickets.
Ecological Roles
Many arthropods have extremely important roles in ecosystems. Mites, ticks, centipedes, and millipedes are decomposers, meaning they break down dead plants and animals and turn them into soil nutrients. This is an important role because it supplies the plants with the minerals and nutrients necessary for life. It also keeps dead material from accumulating in the environment. Plants then pass along those minerals and nutrients to the animals that eat the plants.

Step sequencing is examined as Matthew pulls out his mighty Nanokey!
Step time recording - program pitch/or velocity from a MIDI controller. Transpose+Gate - play Mono Sequencer like an instrument MIDI reset - reset your sequence to the beginning of the loop every time a MIDI note is received.
The MIDI input menu provides an array of useful live performance and improvisation techniques. Transpose allows you to transpose or offset the entire sequence. Transpose+gate only plays when you are holding a MIDI note down. Program pitch with a loop of 1 turns Mono Sequencer into a pulser and the transpose value can be used in conjunction. Program pitch with larger loop values turns Mono Sequencer into a buffer of pitch data.

Mission accomplished, GIOVE-B heads into deserved retirement
ESA's GIOVE-B experimental navigation satellite is gradually raising its orbit as it prepares for well-earned retirement at the end of its four-year mission paving the way for Europe's Galileo constellation.
On 24 July, an initial thruster firing raised GIOVE-B's orbit by about 30 km. This will be followed by others in the next three weeks so that by mid-August the satellite will be in a graveyard orbit some 600 km above its original 23 222 km orbit.
The second 'Galileo In-Orbit Validation Experiment' mission, launched on 27 April 2008, GIOVE-B carries both types of atomic clocks being used by the Galileo system: a rubidium clock, accurate to three seconds in one million years, and a passive hydrogen maser – the first clock of its kind flown in space – accurate to one second in three million years.
It is also fitted with an antenna to illuminate Earth with its test signal, linked to a signal generation unit able to produce the kind of complex modulated signals required for the interoperation of Galileo with the US GPS system.
GIOVE-B also carries ESA's advanced Standard Radiation Monitor to survey the radiation environment in this orbit.
After more than four years of service, GIOVE-B's payload was turned off on Monday, in preparation for the following day's thruster firing.
"GIOVE-B, like its predecessor GIOVE-A, performed excellent work testing Galileo hardware, securing Europe's rights to the radio frequencies set aside for Galileo and gathering data on medium-Earth orbit conditions," said Valter Alpe, managing the GIOVE satellites for ESA.
"Its signal, in combination with its ground element, also served to prove the Galileo system will work as planned.
"But now that the first Galileo satellites have joined them in orbit – with the first two launched together on 21 October 2011, and a second pair due this autumn – and have proven to be operating extremely well – there is no longer any role left for these experimental satellites."
GIOVE-A was launched on 28 December 2005 and rose into a graveyard orbit in August 2009, with its mission completed at the end of June this year.
Both satellites comfortably exceeded their design lives of 27 months.

Balloon Service
Startup Costs: Under $2,000
Part Time: Can be operated part-time.
Franchises Available?
Online Operation?
With an investment of less than $1,000 you can start a part-time party balloon service and earn big profits on weekends and during holidays. Depending on your goals and ambition, you could even turn the business into a full-time lucrative going concern. Corporate events, grand openings, children's birthday parties, special occasions, graduations, retailer sales, weddings and community events-- the demand for party balloons is gigantic and continually growing. Marketing a party balloon service is best achieved by creating a basic yet detailed brochure describing your service and rates. Distribute it to party and event planners, wedding planners, children's stores, restaurants, banquet facilities, day-care centers and catering companies. There are also many balloon manufacturers and printers who offer custom balloon printing services so you can also sell direct to businesses that want to advertise sales and special events with their names and logos featured on the balloons. Great add-on services to increase revenues include a party cleanup service, streamer and decoration supplies and event-planning services, especially for children's birthday parties. You will need reliable transportation and basic equipment, such as helium tanks for gas-filled balloons, and air compressors for blowing up cold-air balloons. But don't worry- this type of equipment is cheap to buy or rent and readily available in every community.

Samuel Burl "Sam" Kinison (December 8, 1953 – April 10, 1992) was an American stand-up comedian and actor. He was known for his intense, harsh and politically incorrect humor. A former Pentecostal preacher, he performed stand-up routines that were most often characterized by an intense style, similar to enthusiastic preachers, punctuated by his trademark scream.

Early life
Kinison was born in Yakima, Washington, the son of Marie Florence (née Morrow) and Samuel Earl Kinison, a Pentecostal preacher.[1] The family moved to East Peoria, Illinois when Kinison was three months old.[2] His father pastored several churches around the country, receiving little income. Kinison had two older brothers, Richard and Bill, and a younger brother, Kevin. His parents divorced when he was 11 and his brother Bill went to live with his father while Sam stayed with the rest of his family against his protestations. Bill described this as the root of much of Sam's anger.[3]
Sam later attended East Peoria Community High School in East Peoria.[1] He and his brothers emulated their father by becoming Pentecostal preachers. Kinison attended Pinecrest Bible Training Center in Salisbury Center, New York.[4] His mother married another preacher and moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where Kinison lived for a while. He preached from the age of 17 to 24 and recordings of his sermons reveal that he used a "fire and brimstone" style, punctuated with shouts similar to the ones he would later use in his stand-up routines. His brother Bill, however, noted that "ironically, he had no stage presence" and he was not very successful at making money from preaching.[3] After he and his first wife were divorced, he abandoned preaching and took up comedy as a profession.
Kinison began his career in Houston, Texas, where he performed in small clubs. He became a member of a comedic group at the Comedy Workshop known as the Texas Outlaw Comics, that also included Bill Hicks, Ron Shock, Riley Barber, Steve Epstein, Andy Huggins,[5] and Jimmy Pineapple.[3][6] Hicks cited Kinison as a major influence on his comedic style, noting that "He was the first guy I ever saw to go on stage and not in any way ask the audience to like him."[3] In 1980, Kinison moved to Los Angeles hoping to find work at The Comedy Store, but was first employed as a doorman. He soon developed a cocaine habit, quickly progressing to the freebase form, and struggled to make a foothold in the business until his brother moved to Los Angeles to help manage his career.[3]
His big break came on HBO's Rodney Dangerfield's Ninth Annual Young Comedians Special in the summer of 1985.[1] After noting the performance of Bob Nelson, reviewer Stephen Holden of The New York Times wrote, "the most interesting of the other eight comedians is the savagely misogynistic Sam Kinison. Mr. Kinison specializes in a grotesque animalist howl that might be described as the primal scream of the married man."[7] Later, during Kinison's appearance on Late Night with David Letterman in 1985, Letterman's introduction of Kinison warned his audience, "Brace yourselves. I'm not kidding. Please welcome Sam Kinison."[8]
Kinison played on his former role as a Bible-preaching evangelist, taking satirical and sacrilegious shots at the Bible, Christianity and famous Christian evangelist scandals of his day. Kinison's daring comedy helped shoot him to stardom.[1] On several videos of his stand-up routines, a shot of his personalized license plate reveals the words "EX REV."
Kinison made his film debut in Rodney Dangerfield's 1986 film Back to School, playing short-tempered Contemporary American History professor Dr. Terguson, who also happened to be a Vietnam veteran.
He was associated with the Los Angeles rock music scene and was occasionally accompanied by a touring band. He also gained a reputation as having a prodigious appetite for drugs and alcohol.[9]
In 1988, Kinison recorded a novelty version of The Troggs' "Wild Thing", which appeared on his album Have You Seen Me Lately? The video was a hit on MTV, as it featured cameos of Rodney Dangerfield, as well as many well-known rock musicians, including Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith, Ratt, Slash and Steven Adler of Guns N' Roses, Rick Marty of Poison (American band), Billy Idol, Steve Vai, Dweezil Zappa, Richie Sambora, Jon Bon Jovi and Tommy Lee, and a raunchy "roll on the mat" dance with Jessica Hahn. Also in 1988, Kinison appeared in the music video for the Bon Jovi single "Bad Medicine".
Kinison appeared in the episode "It's a Bundyful Life: Part 2" (1989) of Married... with Children, as Al Bundy's guardian angel, who shows him what life would be like without him born (a sendup of It's a Wonderful Life).
Also during 1989, he lent his voice to the song "The Kid Goes Wild" by the band Babylon A.D.; the song was heard (briefly) in the movie RoboCop 2, but not the portion featuring Kinison's voice. Kinison also appeared in the Mötley Crüe music video for their hit single "Kickstart My Heart".
During one notable Tonight Show performance, Kinison delivered what began as a straightforward version of Elvis Presley's "Are You Lonesome Tonight?", which descended into angry ranting during the spoken breakdown, and then segueing back into a straightforward sung ending.
Some of Kinison's most notable spontaneous moments came during his frequent appearances on The Howard Stern Show. He made an angry phone call on-air to Bobcat Goldthwait, and he embarrassed comedienne Judy Tenuta to the point of driving her off the show. His most notorious stunt resulted in an on-air feud with Stern. Kinison made an on-air promise to bring to the show members of the band Bon Jovi, with whom Stern was feuding, but they did not show up, nor did Kinison. Stern's reaction was swift and vindictive, and Kinison eventually apologized, but not before comedian Gilbert Gottfried and Stern ridiculed an emotionally charged phone call between Stern and Kinison, in which both stars used the words "man" and "dude" so often that the playback was used as a bit on the show.
Stern and Kinison eventually made up and paired on Stern's pay-per-view special, U.S. Open Sores. In the early 1990s, Stern, who purchased the movie rights to Kinison's biography, reported that HBO would make Brother Sam with Kinison being played by Dan Fogler.[10]
In 1991, Kinison starred in the Fox Network television show Charlie Hoover, in which he played the inner voice of the title character, appearing as a 12-inch tall man. The show lasted only seven episodes before being canceled.
In an interview with Sam's brother and manager Bill Kinison, Bill mentioned movie deals that were in development at the time of his death; one such deal was a movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and another with Rick Moranis.[11]
Kinison's legendary scream can be heard at the beginning of Anthrax's 1987 song, "I'm the Man;" and one of his edited comedy lines "Dick in your mouth all day,!" can be heard multiple times in Run-D.M.C.'s 1988 single, "Beats to the Rhyme."
Personal life
Kinison acquired much of his material from his difficult first two marriages, to Patricia Adkins (1975–1980) and Terry Marze (1981–1989). He began a relationship with dancer Malika Souiri toward the end of his marriage with Marze. In 1990, Souiri alleged was raped by a man Kinison hired as a bodyguard that same day, while Kinison was asleep in the house.[12] The bodyguard stated that the sex was consensual; the jury deadlocked in the subsequent trial and charges were later dropped.[13][14]
On April 4, 1992, six days before he died, Kinison married Souiri at the Candlelight Chapel in Las Vegas.[2] They then had a honeymoon in Hawaii for five days before returning home to LA on April 10 and preparing for a show that night at the Riverside Resort Hotel and Casino.[15]
Souiri sued Kinison's brother Bill in 1995 for allegedly defaming her in his book Brother Sam: The Short Spectacular Life of Sam Kinison, and then again in 2009 for allegedly forging Sam's will.[16][17]
In February 2011, the Toronto Sun reported that Kinison had fathered a child with the wife of his best friend and opening act, Carl LaBove, who had been paying child support for the girl for nearly 13 years.[18] LaBove filed legal papers claiming the girl was Kinison's, and DNA tests taken from Kinison's brother Bill show a 99.8% likelihood that Sam Kinison was the father of the unnamed woman, who was 21 at the time of the Toronto Sun story, and excluded LaBove as her father.[19]
On April 10, 1992, Kinison died at the age of 38 after his white 1989 Pontiac Trans Am was struck head-on on U.S. Route 95, 4 miles (6.4 km) north of Interstate 40 and around 15 miles northwest of Needles, California, by a pickup truck driven by 17-year-old Troy Pierson, who had been drinking alcohol.[20][21] The pickup truck crossed the center line of the roadway and went into Kinison's lane. At the time of the collision, Kinison was traveling to Laughlin, Nevada to perform at a sold-out show.[15]
Kinison's body was found lying between the seats of his car at the scene of the collision. He was not killed instantly; according to his brother, Kinison's final words were, "Why now? I don't want to die. Why?"[1] An autopsy found that he had suffered numerous traumatic injuries—including a dislocated neck, a torn aorta, and torn blood vessels in his abdominal cavity—which caused his death within minutes of the collision.[22][23] Malika Souiri, Kinison's wife, whom he had married merely six days prior, was rendered unconscious by the collision, but survived the accident with a mild concussion.[24]
Pierson later pleaded guilty to one count of vehicular manslaughter with gross negligence. He was sentenced to one year of probation and 300 hours of community service, and his driver's license was suspended for two years.[25]
Kinison is interred with family members at the Memorial Park Cemetery in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His grave marker includes the unattributed quote: "In another time and place he would have been called prophet."[26]
Comedian Jammin' in New York, was dedicated to the memory of Kinison. At the beginning of the broadcast, the words "this show is for SAM" appeared on the screen.[27]
After his death, Kinison was fondly remembered by his friends and costars. Said Ozzy Osbourne, "Apparently when Sam had the accident, I heard he got out of the car and look up to the heavens and said, 'I don't want to die,' and then just said, 'Oh, okay,' and laid down and died. It sounds crazy and will probably offend a lot of my fans, but I believe there's a higher power. Some people may think Sam Kinison's in one place, but I know where he is. He's upstairs; he's next to God."[28]
On May 23, 1993, FOX aired a special entitled A Tribute to Sam Kinison.[29] The special contained archival footage of Kinison and stand-up comedy performances by comedians including Robin Williams, Rodney Dangerfield, and Jim Carrey.[30][31]
As of December 2013, a biographical film, currently titled Kinison, is in pre-production. Larry Charles will direct Rich Wilkes' screenplay with Josh Gad as Kinison.[32]
An episode of In Living Color was dedicated in Kinison's memory.

Chess game continues with Carlyle, McLellan
As coach of the home team, San Jose's Todd McLellan had the advantage of sending out his lines last to take the faceoffs for Games 1 and 2.
Now it's Ducks coach Randy Carlyle's turn to match lines as the series shifts to Honda Center for Games 3 and 4.
"It's important all the time," Carlyle (right) said of the advantage. "I think you have to set a game plan and try to execute it.
"We feel there's some matchups we'd like to get to, and we're working at those in the upcoming games."
While neither coach will tip their hand, the chess game figures to center around how the teams defend each other's top lines.
McLellan had been going big-on-big, using his top line centered by 6-foot-4, 235-pound Joe Thornton against the Ducks' top line of center Ryan Getzlaf, Corey Perry and Bobby Ryan, in the regular season and in Game 1.
But McLellan took Thornton away from Getzlaf in Game 2 and opted to send out Travis Moen, Patrick Marleau and Devin Setoguchi against the Getzlaf line.
Did it impact what the Ducks were trying to do?
"It didn't change a whole lot," Getzlaf said. "It was a situation where I think they wanted to move a few guys around and get three pretty good scoring threats, and I think they did that."
So San Jose's new top line is Thornton, Jonathan Cheechoo and Jeremy Roenick, who combined for nine shots on goal in Game 2.
But that could change, too.
"They definitely moved guys around," Getzlaf said. "We had to really pay attention to three separate lines rather than just the two of them. That's what they did and we'll see what they do tomorrow."

Local mountain biker wins gold at provincials
Hannah van der Roest made it a clean sweep last weekend, winning her fourth consecutive gold medal in cross-country at the 2014 high school mountain bike provincials in Burns Lake.
In addition to her cross-country gold, she added a silver in the shorter enduro course, and she also earned an award recognizing her leadership and dedication.
"It's a complete set for me, I've won every year," said van der Roest. "As far as provincial champion goes, I've managed to hold that for my entire span of high school."
In addition to her gold medal in the cross-country race, she also was tapped for the Mark Hume Award, which is given to an athlete who embodies dedication and leadership in mountain biking.
"It was a real honour to get that award, I wasn't expecting it at all," van der Roest said. "..."I cried and it was awesome."
Hosted by Lakes District Secondary School, riders across the province had a fun four-cross track timed runs last Friday, with the main cross-country and enduro races on Saturday.
"Burns Lake is amazing trail-wise, there's an amazing maze of trails and the course was really fun," said van der Roest. "The course was perfect for provincials, it wasn't so technical that beginner riders were going to go kill themselves on the trail, but a mountain biker would win because you had to have skill."
The cross-country was a fast and challenging 10-kilometre loop for Grades 10-12, with a shorter 5 km course for Grades 8-9.
Everyone in Grade 10-12 for boys and girls line up at the same time on the 10 km course, which makes for an interesting start, van der Roest said.
"The start is always really intense and you've got the adrenaline going," she continued. "...After this tiny loop, I started to get into my legs and I refused to look behind me, so whenever I heard the squeak of brakes, I always thought, 'It's a girl, go faster, go faster.'"
She finished in just under 40 minutes, which was her goal.
"It was exhausting. Halfway through the race I thought I was going to fall over and die, but I didn't."
Van der Roest also competed in the enduro, a technical downhill race that throws a lot of terrain challenges in the path of the rider, and finished in second place.
She was joined by her brother, Duncan, a Grade 10 student, who finished in fifth in the cross-country and eighth in the enduro.
"[He] is my younger brother and he is incredible at mountain biking too," van der Roest said. "I beat him by only one minute, which is getting a little too close for my liking, but he's a very solid rider."
While there may be an element of sibling rivalry, they are also very supportive of each other when it comes to competition.
"I'm super stoked for my sister," Duncan van der Roest said. "She did really, really well. And she's fast. She's fast by almost every standard."

Written by Staff Reports
In uncertain times, fear grips our children the hardest and they need to know they can draw on their faith for comfort. But suppose your child is asked to participate in a "pray-in" or is asked to gather around the flagpole and pray, or even just to offer up a prayer before a big competition?
Are there legal boundaries that prevent your child from expressing his religious freedoms in his public school?
"Students can practice and express their religion in any way they choose," says Jan Resseger, the UCC's minister for public education and witness, "but the school can't establish religious activities." Children can't be precluded from their religious activities, but schools cannot sponsor religious activities.
No teacher-led prayers
For instance, a teacher can't take students to pray at the flagpole. A coach shouldn't lead the team in prayer before a game, either. A teacher can teach about religion in a historical and cultural way, but a teacher can't teach about religion in a way that may show preference for one particular faith at the expense of another.
"We have a very diverse society, with a lot of people practicing a lot of different religions," says Resseger. "When people talk about teaching religion in school, frequently they are talking about teaching their religion, to the exclusion of others."
"Some people have the impression that our schools are places where teachers abuse the rights of students frequently by not allowing them to pray or bring their Bibles to school," says John Ferguson, Education Coordinator of the First Amendment Center in Nashville, Tenn. "Some people may believe that students have no religious liberty rights, with teachers forcing them into moments of silence, but a lot of that is mistaken."
Can teachers bring their own religious beliefs into the classroom? In public schools, teachers and staff are required to represent the public. As such, they cannot endorse any particular religious tradition. They can't violate the position they have been given as a public employee.
Student-led activities OK
Teachers can't encourage prayer, and they can't form Bible classes or encourage any kinds of religious activities on school grounds. Under the Equal Access Act, students have that right, and there must be a teacher or staff member to supervise for insurance reasons, just as with any other extra-curricular activity.
"It's important that these kinds of religious activities are student-led and student-initiated," says Ferguson, "and the monitor very explicitly cannot participate."
Students have the right to free expression on religious topics, says Ferguson, and have the right to bring a Bible or other sacred scripture to school. If a student comes in and wants to talk to a fellow student about his religious beliefs, and the student agrees that they will meet at lunchtime, then that's OK.
"Students have a right to those kinds of discussion," he says. "But if the other student refuses to talk or have a discussion about his beliefs, yet the other student is insistent, then the school has a duty to intervene."
If any religious activity interferes with school, then the school has to intercede.
But will children always have the right to express their faith? The Rev. Pat Conover, Legislative Director of UCC's Public Life and Social Policy Ministry in Washington D.C., feels that society is moving towards greater tolerance and inclusion.
"I think in the last half of the 20th century we have moved substantially towards a more religiously inclusive way of educating or children," says Conover, "and we are going in the right direction."

text: Swords & Soldiers Micro-Review: Violence IncludedStephen Totilo6/17/09 5:00pmFiled to: ReviewSwords & SoldiersWiiwiiwareViolenceRonimo gamesde blob27EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkWiiWare had been hurting for games about killing. But the originators of de Blob have released a cartoon-violent battle between Vikings, Aztecs and ninja monkeys to more than compensate.AdvertisementAs an interruption from a WiiWare line-up of bonsai barbering, beanbag-tossing and goo-fueled bridge-building we now can download Ronimo Games' Swords & Soldiers, a side-scrolling real-time strategy game for one player or two. It's like Patapon without the controllable drumbeats and with a lot more Aztec sacrifice.But in the demo-free zone that is Nintendo's Wii download service, is it fun enough for your 10 bucks?AdvertisementLoved The Look And Feel: Side-scrolling RTS is a sketchy proposition. But thanks to bold and bright character design and a minimalist remote-only control scheme, it's quite easy and enjoyable to hire gold-miners and begin generating the Viking axe-men, corpse-resurrecting shamans, golden giants, old Chinese men and other warriors at your disposal. Depending on which of the three ethnic groups you control, you have a different tech trees' worth of characters to generate or spells to elicit. Those characters you generate go on a victory march to the right of your screen, usually to destroy a base about 20 screen lengths away… unless you're a bad strategist. Then it's just a sorry death march.Boulders, Sacrifices And More Unexpected Stuff: The game's first campaign is deceptively simple. As the Vikings you learn the basics (and hunt down a killer chili pepper – the game's kind of a comedy). Ten missions and at least an hour later, you get to play as the Aztecs, and that's when Ronimo's originality begins to shine. Effective Aztec strategy involves sacrificing warriors, a tactic opposite to winning with brute Viking numbers. The Aztec and Asian campaigns reveal many surprising units, tactics and special attacks, including the unleashing of a player-controlled screen-tall bouncing boulder and others I won't spoil.Hated Aged Thinking Why must I play the three campaigns in only one order? Why must the default difficulty become so hard halfway through Aztec, but then not allow me to switch to the locked Asian campaign instead? And I hope the levels don't have as narrow an array of winning strategies as it sometimes seemed. The best strategy games should allow hard-thinking players multiple paths to victory. I suspect there are multiple methods for some of Swords & Soldiers' most vexing levels, but I found quite a few that seemed to have only one right way to win – as best as I could deduce.SponsoredAt a time when the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3's downloadable services have hit a bit of a lull, WiiWare finally is coalescing into a platform with several varied and well-made games.Swords & Soldiers could have easily sold for more than its list price, as its graphics and sound are top quality, and its 30-mission campaign, bonus missions and split-screen multiplayer present a generous package. For the team to not stumble while making a game in such an untested genre is quite an achievement. Plus, it has violence.AdvertisementSwords & Solders was developed by Ronimo Gamesfor the Wii's downloadable game service WiiWare on June 8. Retails for 1000 Nintendo points ($10 USD) Played through all three campaigns over about six hours, dropping from the default difficulty halfway through. Played the bonus missions and sampled the game's split-screen multiplayer.Confused by our reviews? Read our review FAQ.

As announced on the cdk-devel mailing list, the project has shifted to Git as its version control system. While the SVN repository is still available, it's expected that all development from now on will be done using Git branches. To get things going Egon has put up a very nice page on the CDK wiki.
The use of Git makes development much more enjoyable – if nothing else, the fast branch capability allows one to easily test out multiple, disparate ideas and cleanly merge them back into main line code. Another side effect of this is that it also allows easy code review, which is extremely valuable in a distributed project such as the CDK. In this post I thought it'd be useful to describe my workflow using Git.
Set up
I won't say much about this as the wiki page provides sufficient detail. In brief, we make a clone of the CDK master (located on Sourceforge)
1 | git clone git://cdk.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/cdk |
This gives us a directory called cdk. This is your local copy of the CDK master branch and periodically, you should do a git pull to make sure it's in sync with what is on Sourceforge. Now, rather than work directly on this local copy, we make branches for each idea we want to try out.
1 | git checkout -b myIdea1 |
This way you can be working on multiple projects, each independent of each other. For example my setup looks like
1 2 3 4 5 6 | [rguha@localhost cdk]$ git branch -a master * pcore origin/HEAD origin/cdk-1.2.x origin/master |
The asterisk indicates I'm working on my pcore branch. master represents my local copy of the Sourceforge master.
Making branches available
Given a git repository there are a number of ways you can make it available. Approaches include emailing patches, creating bundles or setting up your own Git server. The last is worthwhile if you have a constant connection and multiple developers working on your code. Such a server can be based on Apache and WebDAV and is described here. Another alternative is to use Gitosis, which makes life quite easy, though I haven't tried it myself.
In my case, I use a shortcut (this is based on a Linux server). When I want to make stuff available to the world, I simply run git-daemon and point it to my local CDK repository
1 | sudo -u git git-daemon --base-path /home/rguha/src/java/cdk.git --export-all |
Here the base-path indicates the directory that contains the repository directory. By doing export-all we indicate that all repositories under base-path be made available. In my case, there's just the CDK repository. I created a user called git so that it's permissions are a little restricted. However, this is likely not a very secure setup. I haven't checked whether other users can write to my repository (which I'd rather not have them do!). Also, since I'm not going through xinetd I miss out on those benefits as well. Also see here on the use of git-daemon.
Having said that, this setup is quite handy – since whenever I want others to look at a branch of mine (say for merging with the Sourceforge master) I can simply ask them to do
1 | git pull git://rguha.ath.cx/cdk pcore |
and they will be able to pull all the latest commits from the pcore branch. If the work in this branch gets accepted I can simply shut down the daemon, until I decide to make some new work available to the world. Since this is my own machine and I'm the only developer working on it, I don't need a persistent Git server, so this works great.
My workflow
So, now that I can easily make branches available to the world, how do I arrange my workflow? The approach I've taken is the following. My local master never has work done on it directly. The only operation I perform is pull. In other words I just make sure that it's in sync with the Sourceforge master. (Of course for really minor edits I might just make them in my local master and make them available). All other ideas are tested out in a branch. Before working on a branch I'd switch to master, do a pull, switch to a branch I'd like to work on and then do a rebase (see here for a nice explanation) in this branch, so that it's in sync with the Sourceforge master.
Now, the CDK policy is that only the branch manager will be able to write to the Sourceforge master. Thus I cannot push changes to it and must request a review of my code – which I can do by starting the daemon as described above and pointing people to the branch. Once it's accepted and merged into the Sourceforge master I can then pull to my local master. As an example here's the commands that make up my workfllow
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 | $: git checkout master Switched to branch "master" $: git pull remote: Counting objects: 13, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (8/8), done. remote: Total 8 (delta 6), reused 0 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (8/8), done.

The key thing is that rather than merge my branches into my local master and then point people to that, I instead point people to my branches. After my branch has been merged with the Sourceforge master, I pull the changes into my local master, followed by rebasing in my branches. While this does seem a little convoluted I can work on multiple projects, and not conflate them in my local master.

Mini Interview: Michael Lowenstern
Michael Lowenstern is a Bass Clarinet player and programmer.
What got you started?
I've always been into making music with whatever technology I could get my hands on.
Growing up in Chicago, my room wound up being the place where my parents would store stuff. One of the things that got stuck in a corner was an old Magnus chord organ and I began banging away on that before I could read. Fast forward to about 1981, and friends of mine and I spent complete weekends making rudimentary mash-ups with four tape decks. In college (I somehow managed to get into Eastman) I had my first experiments with guitar pedals — non-composition majors weren't allowed into the electronic studio, so we would have to just rent stuff from the guitar shop and do our best. Finally, in grad school in 1990, I was introduced to (Opcode) Max, and it was all over. I was deep, deep into Sysex, and found ways to wrench amazing sounds out of cheap little synths like the TG33 (which I wish I still owned). From there, it just got more interesting as hardware and software developed. And thankfully my rig went from 3 flight cases to a laptop and a small suitcase.
How do you know when something you are working on is finished?
You know that King Crimson tune "Indiscipline" where Adrian Belew talks about his wife carrying around a sculpture "for days and days" and then "playing little games like, not looking at it for a day, and then looking at it…to see if I still liked it."? That's me. I'll listen to a tune that I think is done about a 50 times to see if it wears on me, and then I'll not listen for a week or two (or sometimes a year or two!) and work on something totally different. When I go back to it, if I still like it that's a pretty good sign it's ready to leave the nest.
When do you like to use chance or random processes?
Almost never actually. I tend to be a total control freak with my music. I mean, I improvise just about everything I do — especially as I'm writing — but when it starts to take form, I let it gel and keep it pretty much the same. I also practice like hell with my gear and run shows over and over and over just so that it's bulletproof in a concert. I feel so bad for performers when their setup implodes at a concert, because it's so awkward for the audience. I simply won't let that happen.
What's something that you would like to be able to do with technology in your work but you can't at the moment?
I would love to use wireless video and toss that out into to the audience. Luke DuBois told me that he once stuck a video camera in a foam ball and threw it into the audience. I'm not sure how he did that… I love structuring pieces for the audience to participate with; right now I'm working on a piece with a bunch of old iphones running TouchOSC. If I could add video to those, that would be just awesome.
One other thing I'm looking forward to is when the SABRe (Sensor-Augmented Bass Clarinet) is complete. It's been in development for about 6 years…
What inspires you?
This probably sounds very typical, but my colleagues, especially Todd Reynolds, Trevor Exter, Bill Ryan, Dennis DeSantis, Luke DuBois, etc. Beyond that, when I go looking for inspiration, I'm really thankful for YouTube, because there is just so much out there that can spark an idea. it doesn't have to be some programming whiz, or incredibly accomplished musician, I get inspired by people who find interesting, weird, clever solutions to limitations in their playing, or their environment, or their technical knowledge.
What is the most difficult obstacle you need to overcome in order to do your thing?
This might sound odd, but I need to get back to that place where I had zero money, and had to invent ways to get an idea out without resorting to buying a piece of software or a plugin or some gear. Software and hardware has gotten so inexpensive these days that it's just easy to find a pre-packaged solution. When I started out, there was no Web, so the best we could do was pop a few No-Doz and stay up all night. Nope, there wasn't any Red Bull back then either.

Pick one. Squat or Deadlift
You can do only one lift for the next year of your life. You can't change your mind once you have choosen. Which do you choose, and why?
A. Squat B. Deadlift Think about your answer, and try to explain why you have choosen the way that you have. |
For myself, I ended up at deadlifting.
Even though the range of motion through the legs is less than squatting, I would still develop quad, and posterior chain strength. While squatting would also lead to upper body mass due to total body loads carried, the deadlift would more directly hit and promote growth, both in my back and core. Chest would also be hit more with deads due to the load carried by the arms, and the pecs being under strain holding the bar at lockout. An aspect that I considered was this. I would be able to regain any lost ground in the full squat sooner after concentrating mainly on deads, than if the role were reversed. It would take much longer to regain deadlift strength if the move were not done. |
Hard question. I dread squats more. At least heavy squats. Warming up takes longer, and the lift feels harder for me.
But if I had to choose. I would choose: Squats Squats are my go to leg exercise. I need them. Deadlifts...I feel I could do rows and shrugs and a pullup variation and live without them if need be. That's really what it comes down to for me. In addition, I am more leg obsessed. |
Deadlift all the way. I feel pound for pound they add the most muscle.
i would pick neither if I had too.
Pick a position, and state why. |
can i do smit squat?
http://www.comparestoreprices.co.uk/...arbell-set.jpg |
Deadlift alll the way, hold 300 pounds at ur waist and see how many muscles strain to keep it close to the body, enough said

Ross' role to be expanded beyond charter school authorization to bring best practices nationally to Detroit schools
Emergency Manager Roy S. Roberts today announced the appointment of Doug Ross, former U.S Assistant Secretary of Labor and founder and CEO of New Urban Learning and the University Prep charter schools, as the district's Chief Innovation Officer, a new position in the district geared at finding and implementing innovative best educational practices used across the nation to improve graduation rates and college readiness in DPS schools.
Ross will continue to head Detroit Public Schools' expanded Charter Schools Office working to ensure that all DPS charters are high performing schools. The district has expanded the number of DPS-authorized charter schools from nine to 14 for the fall.
"Doug will cause us to stretch our thinking across all areas of the school district, and the creation of a position centered on Innovation is in keeping with the most forward-thinking school districts across the country who are continually searching for new models of instructional delivery aimed at diverse student needs," said Roberts.
Ross, who founded The University Prep schools, which are among the highest performing charters in the City of Detroit, will use the charter-authorizing office as a platform to consider how to expand DPS' portfolio of school options and add other innovative schooling approaches to the system.
Among Ross' first tasks will be opening an expanded oversight office and recommending staffing and contractual services levels needed to ensure high quality oversight of an additional number of schools.
"While building upon the many education practices that DPS already does well, this new position will allow me to use my experience to explore and recommend different innovative strategies geared toward meeting Emergency Manager Roy Roberts' goal of increasing the proportion of DPS schools that lead students to graduation and college," Ross said.
Ross, who reports directly to the Emergency Manager, has extensive experience in education and charter schools. In 1999, he founded and began serving as CEO of New Urban Learning and the University Prep Schools. He has been a candidate for Governor, U.S Assistant Secretary of Labor from 1993-95 and a lecturer at the Ford School of Public Policy at U of M from 1991 – 2003. From 1989 – 1991, he served as President of Corporation for Enterprise Development, and from 1984 – 1989, he was Director of the Michigan Department of Commerce. Prior to that, he was the Economic Analyst for ABC TV affiliate in Detroit. Ross served as a Michigan State Senator from 1978 – 1982. Ross is also a former high school teacher in the Detroit Public Schools.
Ross has a Masters in Public Policy from Princeton University and has done Graduate work in Economics at the London School of Economics. He holds a B.A. in History from the University of Michigan.
About the new DPS-authorized charter process
Following an extremely rigorous bidding and community vetting process, conducted in partnership with the National Association of Charter School Authorizers, DPS last school year announced the selection of three charter operators with proven records of raising student achievement to run five new charter schools this fall under the district Renaissance 2012 plan.

The legislation is designed to prevent employers and health insurance companies from discriminating against individuals and their families, based on the results of genetic tests.
However, Cardinal Rigali explained that the bill seems not to address discrimination against families based on the pre-implantation or prenatal genetic testing of their child, or genetic testing performed on an adoptive child before an adoption is completed.
Rigali, who serves as Archbishop of Philadelphia and chairman of the U.S. Bishops' Committee for Pro-Life Activities, expressed his concerns in a letter to the House Education and Labor Committee, which is expected to work on the legislation this week.
The Cardinal warns that, given the current bill, an insurance company may misuse knowledge of a child's genetic defect to raise a woman's premiums, cancel her insurance, or even pressure her to have an abortion or cancel adoption plans for a child with special needs, because the company does not wish to cover the additional needs of a child who will develop an illness or disability.
"The most fundamental and destructive form of such discrimination would be to use such information to seek to prevent a family from accepting a child with special needs into their lives," the Cardinal wrote. "I urge you to amend H.R. 493 to make it clear that such invidious discrimination will not be permitted."
