Stainless steel, sleek and beautiful but hardly ever stain-less or fingerprint proof. Right?
How many of you have followed right behind the kids with a kitchen towel wiping off the fingerprints?
I know I've been guilty of that and my kids look at me and say "Mom – It's just a refrigerator."
Well, maybe it is just a refrigerator, but keeping it clean really adds a pop of shine to the room, don't you think? That's why I clean mine on a regular basis.
Regular CleaningsFor regular cleaning, all you need to do is take a damp cloth, wet it with warm water, wipe down the appliance then dry and polish with a clean dry lint free rag.
Personally, I like to use white vinegar. I'm disinfecting as I'm cleaning and when I dry whatever appliance I'm cleaning, it dries faster. I put the white vinegar in a spray bottle and spray my cleaning rag rather than the appliance. Then I wipe it down with a microfiber cloth.
Here's a little tip for larger appliances:
Work in sections. Clean and dry a section then move on to another section. Then when you're done; give it a quick and final buffing. Now you have a nice shiny finish.
Cleaning FingerprintsEven if you follow members of the house around wiping off fingerprints – you can't get them all! Oh those little buggers – the fingerprints I mean.
Again I my favorite things to use is plain white vinegar. But when you use it like me, you might run out so what can you use?
Liquid Dishwashing DetergentI use Dawn dish soap. So I put just a couple of drops in a small bowl of warm water. Swish it around with your fingers to mix it in. Dip in your cleaning rag, wring it out good, and clean those grimy fingerprints.
When you're done cleaning, run a damp cloth with just water on it then buff and shine.
Heavy Duty CleaningIf you have burnt on food, take a little of your Dawn dishwashing detergent and rub some on the spot. Let it sit a while to soften the caked on food then wipe it off. You may have to repeat this a time or two depending on how badly caked on the food is.
Just don't use anything abrasive as you could scratch your appliance. That goes for cleaners and scouring pads.
When you're done cleaning, rinse the area with clean water and dry.
Polishing Stainless SteelTo top off your cleaning and make your stainless steel shine, polish it with a little mineral oil.
Simply apply a small amount to a clean, dry cloth (one that is lint-free) and buff out with a microfiber cloth when you're done.

Thirteen undergraduate and graduate students from RIT's International School of Hospitality and Service Innovation returned to Rochester on Jan. 15 after spending a week in Dubai. All 13 students were enrolled in a special-topics course focused on tourism in the Middle East and Dubai's transformation into a global tourist destination.
Professor Richard Lagiewski led the group as they met with management teams and were taken on behind-the-scenes tours of hotels and attractions.
Evan Coyne, a third-year student in the hospitality, tourism and nutrition management department and president of the RIT Hospitality Association, was enthusiastic about the experience from the time it was first announced this fall.
"This opportunity, I honestly believe, was once in a lifetime," she says. "A professor and students took a chance, not knowing what to expect from a week of traveling and touring Dubai. We learned about our field, we learned about another culture and religion, and we learned what you can't teach in the classroom."
Coyne adds: "I shook the hand of the general manager of the Burj Al Arab. I rode a camel through a desert in the Middle East. I dressed in traditional Muslim clothing in the Sheikh Zayed Mosque. I learned the logistics behind Ski Dubai. Not many students have the chance to say they have experienced all of these things, but I can."
Lagiewski decided to develop the course to provide new opportunities for students who wanted to experience what they were learning in the classroom and reading in their textbooks.
"Many students have interest in studying abroad but there are sometimes challenges in traveling for an entire quarter or semester. This one-week course allowed students to expand their minds, travel, experience an amazing tourism market first hand—all while learning about tourism policy, new cultures, different management styles and the economic impact of growth," says Lagiewski. "I am proud of this group of students who took a chance on a new course and will add to RIT's global intelligence here on campus and as future alumni."
NOTE: This article was co-written by Lyndsey McGrath, manager for global initiatives. To find out more about opportunities in Dubai, join Study Abroad staff for a special information session from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Jan. 24 in the Campus Center, room 1010/1015. Attendees will Skype with students currently in Dubai about their coursework and travels. For more information, contact the Study Abroad office at firstname.lastname@example.com.

HHMI Selects 12 Institutions to Launch Nationwide Science Education Experiment
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) has selected 12 colleges and universities to participate in a nationwide genomics course that will involve first-year college students in authentic research. The new course is the first major initiative from HHMI's Science Education Alliance, which seeks to enhance the teaching of science and inspire new generations of scientists.
In Fall 2008, first-year students at the six undergraduate institutions and six research-intensive institutions will take part in a year-long research course — the Phage Genomics Research Initiative – which is being developed by the Science Education Alliance (SEA).
Tuajuanda C. Jordan
The SEA, headquartered at HHMI's Janelia Farm Research Campus in Northern Virginia, will foster the development of a national network of scientists and educators who work collaboratively to develop and distribute new materials and methods to the education community. HHMI has built the SEA using the knowledge and experience it has gained from supporting science education advances in the United States over the last 20 years.
"The phage genomics course is the beginning of the transformation that the Science Education Alliance hopes to bring to science education," said Tuajuanda C. Jordan, a biochemist and director of the SEA. "The institutions that we have chosen really see the long-term impact that the program can have on their students and their institutions. The participating faculty have support at all levels for implementing and expanding on the program."
The SEA is a new direction for HHMI, which for two decades has funded science education programs run by faculty and teachers at institutions across the United States. By creating the SEA, HHMI is taking a more active role in catalyzing change in science education. The Institute is staffing the SEA program with its own employees, who are building the alliance with the help of HHMI's extensive network of grantees and educators. HHMI is committing a total of $4 million over the first four years of the program.
"The initial institutions we have selected represent a broad sampling of high quality higher education," said Peter J. Bruns, vice president for grants and special programs at HHMI. "Although diverse in size and location, all participating schools share a desire to bring authentic discovery to freshman instruction. I am impressed by their commitment to the project and eagerly wait to see what a working alliance of such a diverse, yet commonly committed community, will yield."
Approximately 20 students at each institution will participate in the two-semester phage genomics research course, in which they will be taught to use sophisticated research techniques. Students will isolate bacterial viruses (phages) from their local soil, prepare the viral DNA for sequencing, and annotate and compare the sequenced genome. The goal is to immerse students in the process of doing science, and equip them with the critical thinking and communication skills necessary for successful research careers. "We also hope their work will make a significant contribution to the field of genomics," said Jordan.
For faculty who will teach the phage genomics course, joining the SEA will help move the science curriculum at their institutions beyond "cookbook" style laboratory experiments and bring hands-on research to a larger group of students. "I've become increasingly dissatisfied with the way we teach the science of biology. It is mostly fact learning rather than inquiry learning, and that's just a tragedy. It's not the way we should teach science," said Kit J. Pogliano, a professor of biology at the University of California, San Diego, who will teach the phage genomics course with her husband and fellow faculty member, Joseph A. Pogliano.
"We've been seeking ways to engage more of our students in research and inquiry-directed learning experiences," said Pogliano. "This sort of an experiment – having a big group of students doing research over the course of a year in a formalized lab course, rather than in individual faculty labs — is something we've thought about doing. But like many state schools, we just didn't have the finances to put together a big project like that ourselves. This was a great way to jump-start the process."
At the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM), biology professor Ann M. Findley said her institution serves students of diverse backgrounds with varying levels of preparedness and "extremely limited prior exposure to experimental science."
"ULM's participation in the HHMI-SEA initiative will not only furnish our students with an exciting introduction to the process of doing science, it will also provide us with the opportunity to demonstrate that, when presented with a challenging laboratory environment and a committed support system, all engaged students can effectively transcend their high school preparation to become contributing members of this exciting national experiment," said Findley.
Earlier this Fall, HHMI invited all four-year institutions to apply to participate in the Phage Genomics Research Initiative. HHMI received 44 applications and selected 12 institutions.
Each institution will receive up to three years of support from HHMI to assist with faculty training, reagents, computing support, and DNA sequencing services for the course. Faculty from participating institutions will attend three training workshops at Janelia Farm before teaching the phage genomics course.
Twelve more institutions will join the program in the fall of 2009, and another 12 in the fall of 2010. When the Phage Genomics Research Initiative is running at capacity, 36 institutions and approximately 720 students will be participating. After three years of initial support by SEA, institutions wishing to continue offering the course must provide their own financial resources to cover reagents, sequencing, and computing costs.
Participants in the 2008-2009 course will benefit from a pilot phage genomics course currently running at the University of Pittsburgh. SEA staff will use student and faculty experiences in the pilot course to refine the curriculum and develop additional resources for professors and students.
The institutions that will participate in the SEA phage genomics research initiative in academic year 2008-2009 are:
* Carnegie Mellon University
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
* The College of William and Mary
Williamsburg, Virginia
* Hope College
Holland, Michigan
* James Madison University
Harrisonburg, Virginia

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — It was just a matter of time.
It seems there is at least one player who is unimpressed by the Yankees' offseason spending spree. Of course that player is on the Red Sox — the world champion Red Sox he might add.
"We still have the belt," Jonny Gomes told the Boston Herald as part of a recent interview where it seems he spoke more about the Yankees than his own team.
"People can go out sign whoever they want right now," Gomes added. "It's kind of flattering a little bit that the (division) rival does have to reload as much as they did."
Gomes obviously forgot that his team finished in last place in the AL East in 2012 and did what it needed to do to turn things around, including signing Stephen Drew, Shane Victorino, Mike Napoli, Ryan Dempster, David Ross, Koji Uehara and himself, all of whom made contributions to the Red Sox winning their third World Series championship in the last 10 years.
Boston spent a little more than $100 million during that revamping, but since it wasn't in excess of $400 million, like what the Yankees just spent on Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury, Carlos Beltran and Masahiro Tanaka, Gomes felt he had license to call the Yankees' check writing egregious.
"It's kind of interesting, though — $500 million and still, some questions," Gomes said. "You've got McCann who hasn't been in the American League before. The pitcher (Tanaka) who hasn't pitched a game over here. They've got some guys playing different positions.
"But it's about winning the summer. It's not about winning the winter. That's what we're going to try to do again," Gomes added.
It wasn't all bad. Gomes had nice things to say about general manager Brian Cashman, manager Joe Girardi and pitcher CC Sabathia. However, despite pointing out many of the Yankees' flaws he still felt it necessary to defend the Red Sox heading into the 2014 season.
"We lost some core players, but at the same time, this organization is extremely deep and the majority of the core group guys are back," Gomes said. "We're champs, and we have to uphold that title. I don't think the mindset's going to change from the last game to today."
For the record, Gomes hit .146 with a homer and 5 RBI in 15 postseason games last season.

Only help if you can be helpfulHey All, A topic has come up of late in the IRC channel in regards to the general feel of the forums and the community that supports them. Things have progressed further than I would have liked with out this being addressed more publicly because I would much rather have snubbed this out sooner rather than later.. but I have been busy. Here is the general rule I would like people to follow: Wheaton's Law "Don't be a dick." Those of you from the IRC channel know that this is the only rule I ask people in there to follow and we generally have a good and lively time chatting about all manner of things. This is basic rule that just about everyone understands and I am going to expand it to the forums from here moving forward. If you can not help people in a helpful and polite manner then I simply ask you to stop. Now I generally take a back seat to moderating the forums as I like to participate in the suggestions forum fairly heavily at times and would rather do so as a forums user than a moderator. But I am also fairly well known for being the person who constantly puts their foot down and so I am stepping up and doing so on here. If you find yourself unable to respond to a message politely then I ask that you do not respond. This mostly focuses on the increasing level of hostility found within the Suggestion forum as well as the Server forum. I do not care if this is the 30th some odd time you have seen someone make the same suggestion. Or even if the new post on an older topic is one entry above the old one. I expect the members of this forum to respond politely to the user, new or old, and point to the older topic if it applies and even go the extra step to suggest they either add in new information or to summarize the outcome of the previous discussion based upon the new post's entry into it. That is what we are here for, that is why I close most topics instead of deleting them, so that they can be found and referenced down the road. The next topic is the slew of derailment attempts I have seen as of late. If you want to have fun and joke around that is what the off topic forum is for and pretty much anything goes there. I do not expect to read a suggestion thread and have to go through 3 pages of image memes people have shot back and forth. Quite simply this is a waste of my time to read and then have to clean up. Now for the summary. I am going to start taking a more active role, especially in policing the suggestion forum, and handing out warn levels to people whom I see doing this. These will be indiscriminate and applied not to just the first person who derails or is impolite on a topic or response, but to everyone whom follows the lead of that person. As I do not like doing things with out giving you all warning this post shall serve as that warning. If you have a desire to bring this topic up with me then I invite you to do so on the IRC channel. Lets raise the level of quality and grow the community. Let us not descend into the quality often found on the minecraft or league of legend forums. There is simply no need for that here. Be passionate about things, just do not be abusive.
Offline ServersRecently I've seen a few server listings showing up on the first page of the Servers forum that have been closed for an extended period of time, but have recently gotten a reply from a new member who didn't realize the server is offline. To help prevent this from happening in the future, it would be greatly appreciated if you could use the report function on the original post of any servers that have been confirmed as offline, so that the topic may be locked. If you are the admin of a server and plan on taking the server offline, please use the report function on the original post of your topic to let the TFC Staff know that the topic should be locked. If you are the admin of a server that has a locked topic, and would wish to bring the server back online, please use the report function on the original post of the topic to let the TFC Staff know that the topic should be unlocked. As always, please remember to follow rule #3 of the servers forum and update your topic title to contain the version of TFC that the server is currently running. You can do so by editing the OP, and then clicking on "Use Full Editor."

[0.2.4] TFC2 Prerelease
Donjons replied to Bioxx's topic in DiscussionHi, lurker here! ^^ So happy that Bioxx released the alpha, thanks again for this wonderful mod!! So my game works finebut I tried attacking a boar and got insta-killed, is that intended? (Also I was in peaceful mode)
I meant that leaving the ground to fallow and weeds to grow is less demanding on the soil than growing crops. I'm no agricultor and I've never studied that field (hehe field, get it?) so I have no idea how nitrogen fixation works, I was just taught in school that crop rotation was beneficial for ground renewal, that's why I was saying that. Thanks for the link I'll check it out.
Water Purification, Plumbing system and stuffs
Donjons replied to Narcisista's topic in SuggestionsI like the idea of distilling pure alcohol to burn in lamps, I would like to see that added. Alcoholic beverages like beer and wine were usually drunk in medieval times, or diluted in a bit of water, because they were more sanitary than fresh water. They could fill the thirst bar without risk of making you sick (well, except drunkness of course).
For the weeds, we might not need a mini game, I feel it might be too time consuming since most people will have fairly big fields. We could make it so that weeds spawn randomly on tilled soil and can only be destroyed by hoes, thus also increasing the use for hoes. Since in real life weeds help the ground "regenerate", maybe the longer weeds stay on a block of tilled soil, the more nutrients it regenerates? The disadvantage would be that if the weeds are too close to other crops they will smother and destroy them. That way there's a goo reason for crop rotation and fallowing fields.
I get all your points and I can see that many are against it. Though I would just like to point out that I was not envisioning a high skilled player spending all his time eating, like 4 stacks a food a day or something. To make it relatable, it could be described like this: a new player would eat 1 TFC sandwich a day, whereas a player maxed out on all skills would have to eat 5. If hearty meals are added in TFC2, that could be 1 sandwich for a new player and 1 or 2 hearty meals for the maxed out player. Nothing too extreme, but it would put more value on cooking meals. Therefore the maxed out player would still only have to carry around 1 or 2 items of food, but they would be more nutritious than the simple raw food that the new player could survive on.
Yes but in that cas there's no reason to eat more food if the more you eat the more you need. Think of it as a bodybuilder for example. The stronger he gets the more food he needs.And, more importantly, the more proper, cookedmeals he needs which will encourage more recipes in TFC2.
Darn I made two replies
I agree that it can be fun to try and survive with low food, but if it's as easy for a new player to forage for food, then what is the use of raising animals and having farms? And on the other hand, once you have all those farms you have way too much food lying around and you don't know what to do with it. And when I said metals tools I meant any tools, I'm talking about early game here, like the stone age. I know, that's why I propose that farming skills will deplete the hunger bar quicker than mining or other skills, since farmers will be expected to have more food available.And furthermore, I think it could be quite beneficial for servers since it gives a real purpose to farmers and cooks: they will have to provide food for the rest of the players in exchange for other goods. Currently, anyone can have a patch of vegetables and survive alone on a server. My suggestionmeans that if you want to have your own patch of vegetables, then you might take the risk of needing more food, thus having to go and buy some into town and promoting exchanges of goods.What is the use of having a farm if it's too grindy and full of pests, when you could simply forage? And finally, please don't forget also the single players, not everybody wants to play on a server.
I really enjoy animal husbandry and farming in terrafirmacraft, however as was mentioned in the "agriculture" topic, it should be balanced and not take so much time as to prevent the playerfrom doing anything else during summer. On the other hand, I would like more challenge in farming and tending to animals, since currently I'm buried under tons of food in my TFC world. The main problem that I see in making food more difficult to obtain/grow/preserve, and also in promotingprepared meals versus raw food, is for the players in early game. If food is harder to come by and preserve, then it sounds like hell for a player that hasn't set up a base yet and has no metal tools. Thus, I propose a simple idea: the higher the experience level of the player, the faster his hunger decays. That way, new players won't be too handicapped by the lack of processed food and can simply forage for what they need. The more they gain experience, the more they're expected to have progressed in the game and have set up simple farms. Once they reach a high level of experience, they need complete meals to fill their saturation (this would give more reasons to implement cooking recipes). "Experience" could be determined by the sum of the player's level, and maybe of all his different skills: farming, cooking, prospecting, smithing, etc. Some skills might have more influence on the decay of the hunger bar than others. (for example, a player who loves mining and has a high level of prospecting might not get hungry quite as fast as a player that has a high level of farming, since a miner might not be expected to have built tons of fields whereas a farmer would) I think this system could add a nice challenge to the game, since it would increase with the player's progression without hindering it.
I'm all for anything that concerns food. Implementing more conservation methods is a good idea since it'll change from pickling everything. I feel like food should be harder to come by/preserve.
No lava and sad fruit trees
Donjons replied to Donjons's topic in SupportThanks for the replys! I'm going to check the ava spawn rate of my world and up it a bit!
No lava and sad fruit trees
Donjons posted a topic in SupportHello, I was wondering if it were possible for worlds to spawn without lava pools? I have been playing in my world for a very long time now (first download in versions0.79.27.903 or0.79.26.881, I can't remember) and I am now playing int he current version, and never have I seen ANY lava pools, not one! And I've explored A LOT, over 10000 blocks in every direction, sometimes more. Some of the terrain was generated in the old version, some is new. So is this a bug or have I just been insanely unlucky? I once saw a trickle of lava falling down a ravine, but when I got there, the flowing lava had despwaned and no source blocks were to be found. I assumed that a block might have fallen into it and destroyed it, but that's the only time I ever saw lava, one single drip that vanished, no pools, nothing. My second question is about fruit trees. In autumn, only my plumtrees go yellow, all the others go brown. I remember a bug was fixed where plum trees wouldn't give fruit, after the fix the leaves had to be sheared to get the new fruit. Before that the leaves were brown in autumn, then they turned yellow. So I assumed I had to shear all the other leaves to "update" all the other trees, but it didn't work. Even the trees I've planted in the current version have brown leaves instead of yellow ones (except plum of course). Is this normal? Thank you! Oh and PS: I have also never found sequoia trees, even in the correct latitudes/EVT, etc, but I just assume unfortunatly that's really bad luck. Like I said I've explored a lot so I expected to find some eventually.

If a fruit press is added for fermentation it could also be used in the process of jam making, if ever that's implemented.

Wow another week has passed in our clean lives. In looking back at the last newsletter I realized how quickly my operations are going, and that is great. The first goal in starting this business was to move extremely fast.
I have quickly learned the lay of the land here in Southern California through field visits to business and in working with family and friends. The short and dirty of the sentiment is that everyone is extremely supportive but no one is doing anything. What!?
Southern California has a big city mentality of being too busy and expecting someone else to tell them when to reduce their waste. It's kind of embarrassing the lack of social consciousness so many exhibit. With millions of people living in this area I have my work cut out for me.
Which means I'm hitting the mattresses and going back to my roots, grassroots building that is. I'm starting to formulate a 6 month strategy to raise that social consciousness and will even begin completely rewriting our corporate strategic plan to reflect this.
In other news, on Thursday my housemates (brothers, parents) put out our landfill can for the trashmen with it being only 1/3 full. Amazing! In one week we have already massively reduced our waste output. In fact, this reduction is without any of us changing our shopping habits instead just getting better at recycling and introducing composting into our household.
So, I have laid out a new goal for us….to become the first Southern California zero waste household!
All right well there is so much more going on, but for now I'll end with our next fundraiser. It's going to be July 12 from 4-6pm at Eastwinds in Huntington Beach. Save the date!

Forward Path is a powerful business decision engine in AppDNA that makes it easy to model different deployment scenarios and their impacts. Forward Path is controlled by scenario and task scripts, which you create in the Forward Path Logic Editor. See Forward Path for more information.
Using Forward Path, you can create scenarios that reflect organizational decisions and run task scripts based on the results. For example, when preparing a migration to Windows 7, you could create a Forward Path scenario to determine which applications are suitable for deployment as App-V packages, which should be deployed to the desktop, and which require redevelopment. By associating task scripts with the scenario, you could automate the App-V sequencing, for example.
To open Forward Path, from the side bar, choose.
To change the scenario, click Change scenario on the Options toolbar, and then select the scenario you want to use from the drop-down list.
Other options that are specific to Forward Path are:

First budget plan: tips for college students
April 6, 2017 Studying Tips
Most students do not know how to manage their first budget. As soon as they get to the point when they have to do it, they feel overwhelmed and confused. Yes, most likely you will not get these skills in college, but it does not mean that you cannot develop them. Read this article to learn how to build your budget.
List your incomes
In case you have an irregular income, you should create the lowest-budget plan possible. Just think of the lowest possible numbers. It will help you set up a budget you can afford. And when you have some extra money, you will only be happy about it.
List your expenses
Think about everything you pay for on a regular basis. If it is difficult for you to make this list, take a look at your previous bank statements or at our list of the most probable expenses:
- College: tuition, books, supplies
- On-campus: dorm room, food (meal and non-meal plan)
- Off-campus: rent, bills (water and energy), insurance, food
- Transport: public transport, car (maintenance, insurance, gas, and parking)
- Medical costs: insurance, medications
- Communication: cell-phone, the Internet
- Personal: clothes, haircuts, cosmetics, etc
- Entertainment: going out with your friends
If your parents pay for any of these things, do not include them into the list. Include only those you pay for yourself.Fixed vs. Variable Expenses
You might notice that some of these expenses are regular (your rent or insurance), while others are variable (you do not buy books or medications every month). List all the variables into another category and name it "other" or "extra."
Wants vs. Needs
In case your expenses are too high, you should differentiate your wants and needs. For instance, you obviously need to pay for food, rent, and insurance. Meanwhile, you probably do not need those new shoes or an extra night out with your friends. See what are the least important things so that you can cut them off.
You need to save money for several areas:
- Big-budget items (a new laptop, for instance)
- Emergencies
- Long-term savings for your financial security
It is recommended to save 10-15% of your income. If you can make it 20%, it is great.
Balance Your Budget
While doing it, remember that your monthly income should be higher or at least equal to the sum you spend and save during this month.
Review Your Budget
Take a look at your budget to make sure that it fits you and your values. Maybe you want to add something or start spending less on something else? Reflect on it and rebalance your budget to make it perfect.
Those are the useful first steps to build your budget. Start taking those steps today to make things easier for you in the future.

The program includes the fundamentals to the Waltz, Foxtrot, Swing, Cha Cha, Hustle, and more.
Arthur's Kids goal is to teach children, tweens and teens the basics of good social skills via the medium of ballroom dance. Arthur's Kids is an ongoing medalist program that allows students to earn certificates and awards recognizing their achievement, using proven Arthur Murray teaching techniques.
"We know the fantastic benefits adults achieve through ballroom dancing, and kids can obtain even more from an active dance life. Learning to dance gets them moving, and it teaches social skills, how to interact with other children and adults, in a way that is positive and productive," said John Kimmins, President of Arthur Murray International, the global dance studio that celebrates its 100th anniversary of teaching the world to dance in 2012.
Boys and girls who enroll in the Arthur's Kids program are taught to respect each other and treat each other with courtesy on and off the dance floor. They learn confidence and social skills, taught by skilled and enthusiastic instructors. The skills that they learn on the dance floor can be carried out outside of the dance studio and throughout their lives.
Today, Arthur's Kids is based on the highly successful and beloved Arthur Murray system of learning to dance. Arthur Murray started teaching in 1912... 100 years ago, and interestingly enough, it was a children's class! He developed instruction methods, dance manuals, popularized the printed dance steps for his students in a simplified format.

Republican bill would eliminate Medicare payment advisory board from healthcare reform law
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX)
Senate Republicans have introduced legislation that would repeal the Independent Payment Advisory Board (IPAB) that is part of the healthcare reform law.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) introduced the Health Care Bureaucrats Elimination Act to the Senate Tuesday. The healthcare reform law calls for the creation of IPAB, which would be comprised of 15 presidentially appointed members who would have authority over Medicare payment decisions. The board, which replaces the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MedPAC), takes away seniors' ability to hold elected officials accountable for decisions that affect Medicare, according to Cornyn. Many healthcare providers also oppose the creation of such a board.
Proponents of an independent board have argued that it would give the authority to make politically difficult decisions regarding healthcare costs to independent agents who would be less likely to be swayed by interest groups or the possibility of losing an election. (McKnight's, 7/31/09) Co-sponsors of the bill are Sens. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Jon Kyl (R-AZ), Pat Roberts (R-KA) and Tom Coburn (R-OK).
