Its is the string of REPORTED incidents that have left the people shaken. Read the string of…Read More incidents above. Most of them dont match for description, type person etc. Its is VERY possible that the people in these ve3hicles etc, were about to either ask for directions or were slowing down and because of kids in the street or area and just looked at the kids..... (we dont know because they never said ANYTHING) These incidents are very misleading and the consistent reporting makes the parents and children who hear about them VERY nervous. There are legitimate incidents that go on IN the schools that never get reported, ever. But these incidents no matter how mundane get reported thrice over by North Bellmore, Merrick and CHSD. Safety cannot be stressed enough but turning us ALL into deer in the headlights anxious becasue of these stories is not good for the health of the community. Tell us about the bullying incidents and the incidents about when teachers mistreat the students instead so parents like myself can be aware of the REAL problems our kids are facing.

Downloadable Doctor of Physical Therapy Fact Sheet (PDF)
Thank you for your interest in the Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree program at Governors State University. You'll find the information and instructions you need to apply to the DPT program on this page.
The curriculum for the DPT degree program is designed for the entry-level student who has a bachelor's degree in any major, with appropriate prerequisite course work, and a strong commitment to pursue a rigorous full-time course of study in Physical Therapy.
The application deadline is October 15 for admission to the program in the following Summer Semester. Application to the DPT is submitted through Physical Therapy Centralized Application Service (PTCAS) at www.ptcas.org. The program will no longer accept applications sent directly to GSU. So if your application is received by October 15 of any given year, you will be considered for admission in the following Summer Semester.
After we receive applications from PTCAS that have been submitted by the October 15 deadline, we will evaluate the applications and schedule interviews for qualified applicants. Interviews will be scheduled between December and January. After the interviews, we will inform the qualified applicants of their acceptance into the program.
Notifications of admission status through PTCAS (i.e. admit, alternate list, or denied admission) are made in January.
Truly qualified applicants should recognize that the DPT admissions committee may have been faced with the difficult task of selecting a relatively small group of the most qualified candidates from among an applicant pool that was generally well- qualified. Unsuccessful candidates often wish to know why they were not admitted and what they can do to improve their chances of admission in subsequent years. Because admission decisions are made on the basis of many pieces of objective and subjective information, it is often difficult to pinpoint any particular weakness that led to a negative decision. Unsuccessful applicants may sometimes improve their chances for admission in a subsequent year by improving their prerequisite GPA by retaking key courses, improving GRE scores, or enhancing their understanding of the profession through work or volunteer services in appropriate healthcare facilities.
Applicants must recognize that following these suggestions does not in any way guarantee future admission. Inquiries by unsuccessful candidates cannot be acknowledged before May 1.
In order to be considered for admission, students must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.8 and a minimum prerequisite GPA of 3.0.
The Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is a prerequisite for the program. GRE scores need to be sent directly to GSU, rather than PTCAS. Official GRE scores are sent directly to Governors State University from the Educational Testing Service that administers these exams; however, you must indicate that you wish for your scores to be sent to Governors State University. The Institutional Code for Governors State University is 7604.
There are significant changes being made to the GRE in 2011. Applicants who take the GRE between August 1, 2011 and November 1, 2011 will not receive results until after November 1, 2011. Applicants are encouraged to complete the GRE before the August 1, 2011 deadline to avoid a delay in processing the full GSU application. Taking the GRE after August 1 may result in an incomplete application and prohibit full consideration for admission in the summer of 2012.
If applicable, you must also take the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). Applicants whose native or primary language is not English must provide official evidence of having attained a minimum score of 550 on the TOEFL. Official TOEFL scores are sent directly to Governors State University from the Educational Testing Service that administers these exams. Specific questions about the TOEFL exam should be directed to the Office of Admission & Student Recruitment.

Rock-Cola 50's Café

I'm a Chocola fan from way back, but have never tried lunch or dinner at Rockola Cafe. I will say, though, that the breakfast buffet they serve on weekends is about as good as a downhome southern-style breakfast gets! The biscuits and gravy are especially good.
- December 27, 2012 at 10:16 AM
The Grilled Ham and Cheese is, as they say, simple but tasty. The El Paso Pete is somewhat unique to the place and good. Of course, you have to try a hand-made chocolate malt with your Gilled Ham and Cheese...
Another place, in a similar vein, is the Shelby Street Diner, if you want a comparison: https://plus.google.com/109083104259266360283/about?gl=us&hl=en - December 28, 2012 at 10:47 AM

I am dating myself by saying this but, Choc-ola is legendary. The brand disappeared for some time but has been resurrected (I believe by the owners of the Rock-Cola). You really let a genie out of the bottle by letting your kids have some. lol

Surprisingly their philly cheesteak is pretty freakin' awesome!! When we ate there I was surprised to see a lot of people ordering the butterflied pork chop sandwich, I think I saw 4 or 5 go out...those must be good! Also saw several mile high club sandwiches go out...they were almost a foot tall. Looked amazing. They were featured as one of the super 46 sandwiches during Super Bowl 46!

As the founder and CEO of the Trumpet Awards, which pays tribute to African-American achievement, Clayton touts her greatest achievement as being "able to see the beauty in people and appreciate the joys of their lives
By KENYA KING
Special to the NNPA from Atlanta Daily World
Just 10 days after her 81st birthday, Xernona Clayton received a gift of a lifetime, becoming the first African- American woman to have a downtown Atlanta street named after her as well as a park plaza dedicated in her name.
Mayor Kasim Reed and the City of Atlanta honored Clayton, a civil rights and broadcasting trailblazer, recently, with dozens of civil leaders, supporters and well-wishers looking on.
Clayton stood with tears in her eyes as the street sign was unveiled. "I feel so special for this moment," said Clayton. "I consider this another blessing, something I didn't seek. So that makes the honor twice as good."
Baker Street is now also called Honorary Xernona Clayton Way.
In addition to the street naming, the city of Atlanta unveiled a plaque in Hardy Ivy Park, naming the space Xernona Clayton Plaza.
After many months of uncertainty of whether the street naming would come to fruition due to some who opposed recognizing individuals with street names, a resolution was finally reached.
"I felt very badly about it because I prefer not to be involved in controversy and it was not an honor I was seeking, and it kind of went down in defeat. They put it on hold and it stayed on hold. Well, what I didn't know was that the council members were looking for an alternate plan. And there's a lesson to me in this blessing. I call this a blessing, but there's a lesson. Cone Street is about three or four blocks long. The alternate choice was Baker Street, which is twice as long.
To me the lesson in this wonderful blessing is – I think there is a biblical reference to it that says, 'fret not over that which you lose, but glory in that which you gain.' And so I was fretting over what I was considering a loss, but look at what I gained – a longer street and a park," said Clayton.
Clayton said that she's read that Hardy Ivy, who is credited as Atlanta's first settler, designated Baker Street as the "heart of Atlanta," that the city would grow from there.
In Hardy Ivy Park, where her plaza is named, Clayton plans to utilize the space to recognize others who have made contributions to the community. "I am going to create a spot of honor for other people. It's a lovely area there… I can put lighted bricks [there] and talk about the nights of lights – people who are helping to illuminate and augment the glory of our city, people who are helping to do something wonderful for others. I don't know how to accept this because I'm overjoyed with the opportunity to take what has been given to me and return it to bigger and better opportunities," said Clayton.
Clayton, who worked with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and traveled with Mrs. King during her concert tours, said that Dr. King would be pleased with the street renaming.
"Oh, I think he would feel as proud of the event as I am because he also would not seek honor for himself. …So when you lived around him and worked around him and observed him, it really rubs off and becomes a real part of you but I already kind of had that spirit because my father kind of started in me at an early age, but he kind of magnified it and confirmed, and re-affirmed that spirit. I think he would be very pleased of this day to now have me in the heart of Atlanta, because he knows that that's where my heart is. That my heart is in the right place because I want to take what I have and make it work for others. I mean that so sincerely," said Clayton.
Clayton made history in 1967 when she became the host of her own television show, "The Xernona Clayton Show," which was one of the most popular shows in the South and a first by any African American.
Ted Turner, founder of Turner Broadcasting System, for whom Clayton worked for 30 years, gave Clayton the opportunity. "Ted Turner just believed in me and gave me assignments that I would have never chosen," said Clayton.
As the founder and CEO of the Trumpet Awards, which pays tribute to African-American achievement, Clayton touts her greatest achievement as being "able to see the beauty in people and appreciate the joys of their lives and learn from the lessons of their blessings."
Clayton will celebrate the Trumpet Awards' 20th anniversary in January and admits she's going to "add a little spice to it" as well as bring back past award recipients. She said the awards have inspired others to follow in the footsteps of those she has honored.
Clayton hopes to continue giving back and reaching out to the community through her one-woman show about her life's experiences, which she plans to resume in the near future. Thus far, she's performed the show seven times, including shows in Kansas City, New York and the Bahamas.
If her history-making street naming and park dedication are any indications, Clayton's legacy will be one long remembered for many generations to come.

PTT fiber, while having the general chemical composition of polyester, is a better product than what people traditionally think of as polyester since PET historically has not had good wear characteristics. If we have to call it polyester, it is mileading the consumer and the deals as to how good the product actually is. This product preforms much better than a PET product, and should be given a different name to avoid consumers and dealers from having a biased opion of the product.

There's only one cookie left in the box. It looks so forlorn. You know you shouldn't, you already had several cookies. But it would be stupid to leave a single cookie in the box. You eat the cookie. Sounds familiar? Well, don't be too harsh with yourself and don't blame it all on a lack of will power. It might be more than that. It might be that you eat more cookies because cookies just simply taste better for you.
We don't eat just because we're hungry and we need the energy to keep going. We also eat because it gives us pleasure. Food activates what is called the brain reward system. Food is essential to our survival so our body has developed a trick to make sure we eat and live. When we eat, specific brain structures are stimulated, with the consequence that we feel good. We like to feel good, we want to feel good again so we'll eat again.
Of course some foods are more pleasant to our taste than others. Tasty foods trigger the brain reward system especially well. In lab experiments rats that have free access to normal rat food still choose to expose themselves to extreme cold or electric shocks to get access to shortcake, peanut butter or M&Ms. Also, the tastier the food, the more we eat. How tasty we find a food depends on how it affects our senses; how it tastes, how it smells, its structure to the touch. And the way we perceive the outside world is different from one individual to the next. Some people are more sensory sensitive than others. It's reasonable to assume then that a sensory sensitive person will have a stronger perception of the pleasantness of food and in turn will tend to consume more tasty foods.
Scientists put this idea to the test. They asked 40 women to fill in a questionnaire that allows to assess sensory sensitivity. At the same time they had access to a bowl full of chocolates. The amount of chocolates the women ate was measured and compared to their sensory sensitivity. High sensitive women did indeed eat more chocolates than low sensitive ones. It seems our senses do influence how much we eat. If sensory sensitivity is high, the reward could be more intense, which would explain a tendency to eat more tasty foods.
Next time, take that last cookie without guilt. Science has just given you a good excuse. You might just be a high sensitive person.

NASS and oversight failure
Senate President, David Mark was at his best. The gathering was the commencement of the second legislative session of the seventh Senate last week where the Benue State-born senator addressed his colleagues on the direction the Senate plans to take in the current legislative year.
In his almost 10 minutes long speech, Mark, while challenging the senators to brace up for the challenges ahead, also talked tough on how the Senate would handle its oversight responsibilities forthwith. He said, "This Senate will continue to work to expose corruption and poor administration in all areas of our national life. This is our constitutional duty." Not done yet, Mark in an apparent reference to the gale of probes being carried out by the National Assembly and the attendant controversies that had trailed the exercises added, "We must not allow ourselves to be cajoled into slumber or succumb to blackmail in the discharge of our duties. We will do all we can to uphold transparency and integrity in governance. In this regard, all pending investigations should be speedily concluded without compromising thoroughness and detail," he said. The retired army officer-turned-politician, perhaps not unmindful of opinions in several quarters that the Presidency has been adopting a lukewarm attitude to the reports of probe panels set up by the National Assembly said in a rather non-combative words, "We will, however, continue to bring all requisite legislative pressure to bear on the right quarters to do the right things with our reports." Not many Nigerians, however, agree with Mark that the Senate and indeed the National Assembly has performed its oversight responsibilities creditably well in the last 12 years of democratic rule. Poor budget implementation, coupled with lack luster performance of government ministries, departments and agencies (MDAs) have been the norm, with the National Assembly rating the performance of nation's budgets in the last five years at a dismal 35 percent or less. In spite of the wide publicity usually given to the many probe panels by the National Assembly, through live television coverage, many Nigerians are still blaming the seemingly endless corruption scandals on lack of adequate oversight functions. The argument is that if the lawmakers have carried out that sensitive function effectively, corrupt practices would reduce significantly. A former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Dino Melaye, in an interview with The Nation said, "The performance of the National Assembly in carrying out its oversight functions has been very abysmal to say the least. There is no sincerity of purpose and fear of God by our lawmakers to do the job for which they were elected." Melaye, who now runs an NGO, Anti Corruption Network, attributed the poor implementation of budgets by ministries, departments and agencies to what he described as the "satanic collaboration between National Assembly members and officials of the MDAs. Another former member of the House of Representatives, Hon. Ned Nwoko, who spoke to The Nation on the telephone, analysed the failure of oversight from another perspective. In his words: "Politics in Nigeria is totally different from what it ought to be. In this country, unfortunately, oversight function is just a mere rhetoric. There is no such thing as oversight now. It (oversight) has been a charade in this dispensation, because people are being compromised at every given opportunity." When The Nation called the spokesman of the Senate, Chief Enyinnaya Abaribe, to speak on the issue, he promised to call back but never did. But the Chairman of the House Committee on Media, Hon. Zakari Mohammed, gave the House a pass mark. He stated, "As far as we (House) are concerned, we have not fared badly in our oversight responsibilities in spite of the distractions of the capital market and fuel subsidy probes."
Mohammed also disagreed with critics who alleged that there is an unholy collaboration between lawmakers and top officials of MDAs. He explained, "Lawmakers are not contractors but custodians of our constituencies. If they come to us and say these are the projects we want to execute, we have the right to say 'put project A here or there,' because we know our constituencies better. These MDAs usually look for the slightest excuse to blackmail the legislature," he said.

Change Your Business Results by Using Social Analysis
Watch this video to get an idea of how you can use social analytics to make good business decisions: Transcript: We hear from clients, prospects and industry leaders that businesses are still struggling to understand the value of social media monitoring and analytics. After all, there is still a perception that social media data holds little business value. And it's true that a social media analtyics strategy that focuses on volume-based activity yields little in the way of what consumers are saying and why. But once you begin to refine your social media monitoring to the point where you are able to identify consumers using language around purchasing, loyalty, or having a problem, then your company can begin to map what's talked about online to ROI. For example, as part of a demo exercise many months back, we created 3 social indicators for the financial industry:- Customer Service/Sentiment
- Fees/Fee Sentiment

Joe McElderry might think that stating he's never heard the Rage Against The Machine song that is currently whipping his ass in the charts might make him seem cool, but it's probably only going to encourage fans to buy more copies of the single to ensure he doesn't make the Christmas number one.
According to an article on The Sun Online, the Geordie manufactured popstar said that he'd be gutted if he didn't get the Christmas number one and admitted he hadn't even heard Rage Against The Machine's song!
I mean come on mate, play the game, if you're going to go up in a chart battle you could at least give the band some respect? I bet even my mum has heard the RATM track… and to start acting like you don't know who they are is just adding fuel to the fire.
Okay, so I bet he's a really lovely boy and when he appears on The Chris Moyles Show tomorrow he will appeal for people to help him get to number one and so on, but Joe, you have years to get to number one (providing you don't end up in Butlins) so why not work hard and then feel the benefits rather than just expecting everything at once?
The fact that Joe said he would be gutted if he missed out on the number one spot just goes to show how highly these X Factor kids view themselves… is there no rehearsing in your parent's garages any more? Sending your tapes off to record labels or handing our free CD's after gigs? This is no longer about beating the X Factor reign, but about showing that you can't enter a singing contest and expect to be number one overnight… well, if you want respect that is.
What do YOU think? Does Joe deserve to be number one because he sung a song once a week? Or should it be rage Against The Machine, who have waited for this moment since 1992?
I know which one I'm buying.

Survival Horror - a genre that has undergone significant change almost to the point it is unrecognisable by veterans. The increasing focus on action and adventure has seen the traditional staples of the genre fall by the wayside, creating almost a sub-genre that could be known as action horror.
I wrote a lengthy piece on the transformation yesterday, but now I bring to you 5 Survival Horror games that are actually Survival Horror.
Resident Evil: Revelations | 3DS
The latest in the Resident Evil franchise went back to basics (in some respects) and expertly melded the action orientated gameplay of Resident Evil 5 and the survival horror staples that made the series so popular in the first place. Players will take control of several characters in a world-wide story as an evil terrorist group plans to release a devastating virus into the ocean. It's tense, it's scary and it's the best that the series has offered in years.
Dead Rising 2 | Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PC
On one hand Dead Rising 2 could be considered a depressing Dad simulator, but mostly it provides a new look at the survival horror genre. Players are let loose in an open space, with literally thousands of zombies, and they must find anything they can to use as weapons. Poker machines, swords, baseball bats - you name it, you can use it. There's a time limit, limited health, weapons break after extensive use, and you need to keep your daughter alive with regular Zombrex injections. Survival horror has never been this ridiculous, or this fun!
Project Zomboid | PC, Mac, Linux
This indie title has been making waves for quite some time on platforms such as Desura. A top-down survival horror with RPG elements that has players foraging for items during the day and securing a safe place to hide at night. Players will need to explore their neighbourhood to find food, weapons and supplies, and then try to barricade a house of operations and get some rest. The game is still in development, however people can pre-purchase it now to have Alpha access which is updated regularly with new elements. Project Zomboid is shaping up to be a brand new kind of survival horror.
Lone Survivor | PC, Mac
Another interesting take on the classic survival horror recipe. Lone Survivor is a 16-bit inspired side-scroller that focuses heavily on story and survival. Players will need to search for food, hide from enemies, sleep and scavenge for weapons to survive. As the game progresses you will be questioning your own sanity to a point where everything seems like a facade waiting to be discovered. Don't let the retro art style fool you, this is survival horror at its finest.
DayZ | PC
It doesn't get more intesne than DayZ, a free mod for ARMA II that has gained worldwide media attention. Players start off with nothing more than a backpack and a flashlight as they head into a massive world filled with zombies. Players will need to move from town to town, looking for weapons, food, medical supplies and more. They also have to content with the elements as spending too much time in the cold can lead to infection. DayZ makes Bear Grylls look like a crying child, and that's why every true survival horror fan needs to download it now!

Fairfax County Teachers: 'I Can't Sustain This'
In town hall meeting with school board members Monday, teachers ask for solutions to workload and morale issues that, after half a decade, are as "worse as they've ever been."
Dan Hale has been a teacher in Fairfax County Public Schools for 20 years, but he's never felt or seen his colleagues as overwhelmed as they are today. He used to know his students as readers and as writers, he says; now he only knows them as bits of data or ECART scores; pacing points and percentages. And after spending far more than eight hours at school, he leaves (with work in tow) thinking 'What am I doing tomorrow?' — planning time in the context of the school day, he says, is nearly nonexistent. The story was one of many shared by a few hundred teachers Monday night at a town hall sponsored by one of the county's largest teachers unions, an effort to better connect school board members with teachers and workload issues that have …

In my country, the two most reputable jobs are that of doctors and teachers. Doctors heal the body while teachers heal the community. I am a doctor back at home but I also used to teach when ever I had the time. It is my passion. However, in the US, I have seen teachers get denigrated time to time. Parents accusing teachers for bad grades, calling them lazy and what not. I agree there might be a …   more ›

Dec 312010
2010 has been a WEIRD year for me, but in mostly good ways.
- I lost a job due to it moving out of town……which led to a job working with awesome people at radio station I respect the hell out of…(guess which one!)
- My mobile DJ business continued to grow (partypeoplemobile.com).
- My family and most of my friends were happy and healthy in 2010 and even those that weren't look to be doing ok.
What more could I ask for!?!?!
2011 is looking good and I'm looking forward to Senior Bowl, Mardi Gras with the Zew, Hangout Music Fest and some other new things going on each morning. Hope you'll join me!

Patterns of Trade in the Market for Used Durables: Theory and EvidenceRobert H. PorterNorthwestern University - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) Peter SattlerSUNY at Buffalo - School of Management May 1999 NBER Working Paper No. w7149 Abstract: The consumption value of a durable good diminishes as it ages due to physical deterioration and consumers' preference for the new. We develop a model of consumer specialization and trade in the market for used durables based on imperfect substitutability. Imperfect substitutability across vintages is reflected in a declining market price over time. Heterogeneous consumers maximize utility by specializing in durables of differing ages. Consumers must trade to acquire their preferred vintage each period. When there are transaction costs in the secondhand market, the volume of trade due to specialization increases with imperfect substitutability. We examine the determinants of vehicle ownership transfers in Illinois, a measure of trade volume. Observed patterns of trade across automobile model years are consistent with our model, and inconsistent with a model of adverse selection.

I believe that Pope John Paul II was one of the greatest Popes to have ever served the Church. History has shown him to be a man who can be all things to all people. He was an athlete, an actor, a writer, a priest, a bishop, an activist and most of all a follower of Christ . . . In terms of leadership and bravery, William Wallace has nothing on this guy. During the years of Pope John Paul II's service to the Church, he encountered many things that would make the average person run and hide.

Officials have increased security at the Concord High School after possible ammunition was found in a school toilet.
Authorities say the school will have an extra police presence on Wednesday.
A student on Tuesday reported finding something that looked like ammunition in one of the school's toilets. When the school resource officer went to inspect it, it was gone.
Police say they also found threatening graffiti directed toward staff members in the bathroom last week.

CommentsThank you for writing this article. It is something I think about frequently as an adoptive mom - for my son and for myself. I love the fact of the matter - that our kids look like themselves and that is all that really matters. Posted by: Vanessa at 10:58am Apr 6 Dana, I had clipped this article years ago and just re-read it today. I was adopted when I was 3 months old and know exactly how you feel. I have a 14 year old daughter. I remember when I had an ultrasound when I was pregnant and the nurse asked if either my husband or I had 2nd/3rd toes longer than the big toe. I did and it was the first time in my life I was able to make that physical connetion with someone else. It was such an overwhelming feeling. I am constantly told that she looks just like me and it knocks the breath out of me every time.

4dr Sdn SX
Starting at $26,800 | Starting at 22 MPG City - 34 MPG Highway
Provided by NADAguides.com
Slightly altered for 2013 (the EX turbo trim level is no longer offered), the Kia Optima is a mid-size sedan equipped with FWD and seating for five. The Optima is available with a standard 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 200 hp and 186 lb-ft of torque or an optional 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged engine that yields 274 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are paired to the same 6-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission that enables the Optima to achieve fuel mileage within an EPA estimated range of 22 mpg city to 35 mpg highway. Features include 18-inch alloy wheels, sport-tuned suspension, HID headlights, rear camera display, navigation system, heated/cooled seats, leather trim, and interior carbon fiber accents. Safety is comprised of advanced airbags, vehicle stability management (VSM), electronic stability control (ESC), traction control system (TCS), brake assist system (BA), electronic brake-force distribution (EBD), and tire pressure monitoring (TPMS). The Optima is backed by a 5-year/60,000-mile warranty.
Compared to other mid-size sedans, the Kia Optima continues to stand out for several reasons. Showcasing Kia's more Euro-influenced design direction, the Optima has styling that's more exciting than that of other mid-size sedans, especially from the outside. And that design works out to be quite roomy on the inside. It's also one of the most fuel-efficient mid-size sedans, and it offers quite sporty performance considering its mileage numbers. The turbocharged engine in the SX in particular provides the power and acceleration of a V6 but the gas mileage of a four. The Optima is also a very strong value, with a few more features at each trim level than what's found in most comparable models.
This year, the Optima gets only a few minor styling changes, including a revised Kia badge for the hood, trunk, and steering wheel and a new Remington Red hue that replaces Spicy Red. A new front-seat sliding-headrest design is standard on all three Optima models.
The 2013 Kia Optima now comes in a simplified lineup of four different models: LX, EX, EX Hybrid and SX. LX and EX models come with a 200-horsepower, 2.4L direct-injection 4-cylinder engine and 6-speed automatic transmission. EX Hybrid models include the combination of an Atkinson-cycle, 168-hp version of the four, combined with an electric-motor/generator system that altogether makes 206 hp. The Hybrid also gets a 6-speed automatic and the power split between sources is handled by clutch packs rather than a planetary gearset, as is the setup in other popular full hybrid models. And at the top of the lineup, the Optima SX is the choice for those who want the best performance; it makes 274 hp from a 2.0L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, also with a 6-speed automatic but including steering-wheel shift paddles (all models have a manual mode though). All Optima models are front-wheel driven.

Hey I'm new to GL but i saw a comment of yours talking about how you have that skin thing on your arms. I didn't know how to comment on it so i just went here to do it instead. So anyways, i have the same thing!! I just wanted to tell you that i went to the doctor and it turned out that its just really dry skin. So what i do is use one of those shower, skin scrubs and gently scrub my arms while they are wet and then apply this lotion called CeraVe (i think that's what it's called). Its really good lotion and make sure you apply it right after you get out of the shower!! I hope this helped and i'm sorry that i had to comment on your message here on your profile; i don't know any other way! srry but i hope what i told you was a help

With the responsive design all your content will be accessible, unlike a mobile site, and your user can find what they are looking for quite simply. Responsive designs are fluid, which means that when the next smartphone is released by Apple, Android or Windows your website will recognise the devices dimensions and will automatically render to that devices screens dimensions.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Ohio looking to raise funds, add volunteers
Across three counties, about 350 children participate in nurturing mentor programs through Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Ohio.
But officials with the children's group estimate the number of children who need its services at about 2,000.
"Currently we have approximately 32 children waiting for a big brother or big sister," said Tim Kehres, executive director of BBBS of Northeast Ohio, which serves Ashtabula, Lake and Geauga counties.
Tonight, the BBBS of Northeast Ohio is hosting its annual Festival of Trees fundraiser. The signature black tie event sold out well in advance.
"We couldn't be more pleased with the community support," Kehres said. "We've been blessed with strong corporate support for this event. We've received over $22,000 in sponsorship alone."
Kehres said the usual annual operating budget is roughly $500,000, and, outside of government grants and sponsorship, BBBS must raise about half of the funds on its own.
After an in-depth interview and thorough screening process, BBBS volunteer mentors, better known as Bigs, are matched with a child aged 6 to 18, better known as Littles.
Defining BBBS' mentoring as research-based best practice prevention programs, Kehres said volunteers work with mostly at-risk kids, those who may have difficult home lives or have had minor brushes with discipline in school or elsewhere.
"We know it works. Children who have a big sister or a big brother are 46 percent less likely to touch drugs and 27 percent more likely to avoid alcohol," he said.
Kehres also cited a 2004 study by Washington State Institute Public Policy which found for every dollar donated to BBBS there's a $3 return on the investment to the community. Continued...
By keeping kids out of drugs, alcohol and juvenile court, youth mentoring programs like BBBS save taxpayers $1.6 million, Kehres said.
In his 25 years working with BBBS, Kehres said he's seen the organization go from helping 60 kids to about 350 in the three counties. The group is looking for more volunteer members.
Those interested in looking into becoming a Big Brother or a Big Sister, or just donating to the programs, can contact the group at 440-352-2526.
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Ohio is located 8 N. State Street, Suite #360, Painesville, OH 44077. More information is available at its website, www.bbbsneo.org.
"We keep talking about how tough times are, but people make sure the programs that help kids are funded," Kehres said. "We can't thank the public enough."

Targacept Announces Reduction In Force And Plan To Focus Resources On Later-Stage Pipeline
Targacept, Inc. (NASDAQ: TRGT), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel NNR Therapeutics™, today announced a reduction in force as part of a strategic plan to focus the company's resources on its clinical programs and select preclinical opportunities. This action will reduce the company's workforce by 65 employees, or approximately 46%.
"It is extremely difficult to make a business decision that will have such an impact on many talented and dedicated colleagues and their families. I want to convey my utmost gratitude to the employees who will be leaving Targacept for their many contributions to the company," said J. Donald deBethizy, Ph.D., Targacept's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This painful step is part of an overall plan to align our resources more closely with nearer-term value creation opportunities. We remain well capitalized and focused on operating our business efficiently to ensure we are positioned to exploit our diverse clinical-stage pipeline to bring new medicines to patients."
Targacept currently has over $220 million in cash and investments in marketable securities. As a result of the reduction in force and associated costs, Targacept estimates annual savings of approximately $12.9 million in cash operating expenses on a going forward basis, with estimated one-time severance and related costs related to this restructuring of approximately $2.4 million for 2012. Targacept plans to announce updated 2012 financial guidance with the release of its financial results for the first quarter of 2012. As previously announced, Targacept will hold a conference call in connection with the release of its first quarter financial results at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Thursday, May 3, 2012.
In addition, Geoffrey C. Dunbar, M.D., Senior Vice President Clinical Development and Regulatory Affairs and Chief Medical Officer, announced that he will retire at the end of May 2012. "I would like to congratulate Geoffrey on his upcoming retirement and, on behalf of Targacept and our Board of Directors, thank him for his commitment and service over the past 11 years," said Dr. deBethizy.
