Jarods Law has gone too far!
For those of you who don't know, on December 19 2005, Bob Taft (Governor of Ohio) signed Jarod's Law. Jarod's Law was introduced after six year old Jarod Bennett was killed in school by a folding cafeteria table. Though this was a horrible tragedy, the event was preventable, there were two clearly visible warning labels on the surface of the table. Coincidentally, the tables have been around for 50 years and only 12 have died since. In summary the law is as follows: 1) The creation of a School Health and Safety network. 2. Annual inspections of every school in the state of Ohio by the Ohio State Board of health. 3. Published inspection reports of each school that can be viewed by the public. 4. Mandatory written plans and time frames for each item that does not meet the inspection rules. 5. Review of how the schools will fix all inspection problems. 6. Auditing of the School Health and Safety Network by the State of Ohio Auditorâ

Hazing Meri Sugarman
By M. Apostolina / Genre: Classics, Teen & Young Adult / Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (20 reviews)
Poor, dear Cindy Bixby is a total loser. Has been all her life. But now as she enters college, Cindy hopes to shed her loser ways — get some friends and maybe even (dare she think it?) get a boyfriend. Her first move out of loserdom: pledge Alpha Beta Delta.
There Cindy meets Meri Sugarman. Meri is not only beautiful, she controls the sorority, a position that gives Meri more power than…well, maybe not God, but certainly any person within a one-hundred-mile radius. (How, you ask? Think of today's technology and what you could do with it if you were so (illegally) inclined. Get the picture? 😉 )
Meri teaches Cindy that she, too, can be perfect. She can be beautiful, sexy, and popular, influence teachers and politicians, and even have a boyfriend!
But when the new Cindy crosses into Meri-only territory (hint: where there's trouble, look for boy), new — very scary — Meri emerges. And Cindy realizes that behind all that beauty is an evil beast that must be stopped.

Inmates grow food, skills at new garden
Some new gardeners shop hard for the best gloves, hat or kneeling mat. Some new gardeners in Thomas County gear up by wearing matching outfits and working with whatever tools the warden lets them use for the day.
Inmates at the Thomas County Prison in Thomasville, Ga., grow their own food as part of a pilot project designed to teach them new skills and save the prison money.
The prison spends $5,000 a week for food. Of that, $1,000 or more goes to buying produce, Warden Robert Greer said during a recent television interview. Less than $1,000 has been invested in the whole garden project.
R.J. Byrne heard Greer talking about his predicament at a committee meeting. He had a solution.
"I thought, 'Gosh,' they've got some land out there and 200-plus inmates out there, so we started a garden," said Byrne, a University of Georgia Cooperative Extension agent in Thomas County. "You can grow some form of vegetable or fruit year-round out here."
The garden is located on the old county farm. Back in the 1960s and '70s, the prison used it to grow vegetables and raise cows, hogs and chickens.
Under Byrne's guidance, inmates have turned an acre of weeds into a plot teeming with corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, okra, beans and watermelons. Even with startup costs for seed, transplants and fertilizer, he estimates that the prison will save several thousand dollars this year.
Greer got as many as 50 inmates involved during the planning, planting and weeding. And Byrne pulled the community into the project through his county's Master Gardener program.
"What I originally thought was that the Master Gardeners would give the inmates the chance to talk to somebody outside of the cell and have some positive influence on their lives," Byrne said.
The Master Gardeners ran with the idea, and now they help scout the garden for insect or disease problems. They also work in the garden alongside the inmates.
Many of the inmates work the garden when they're needed. But for two of them, it's their full-time project.
"That is their garden," Byrne said. "They're out there all the time. Four to six other inmates cycle through helping out, but it's their sole responsibility to be in charge of the garden."
Their work has paid off. They're now picking cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers and squash. They're waiting eagerly for the first watermelons to be big enough to pick.
"The bees are working hard out there, too, to get everything pollinated," Byrne said. "The warden's talking about having honeybee hives out there. He's always ambitious about trying new things."
Along with bees, he's hoping to grow the garden to include the three surrounding acres.
The project is Byrne's first attempt at growing a large-scale garden, he said.

One team throws a frisbee at the other team's post/bottle. If they hit the bottle off the post, and it hits the ground, the other team drinks a full beer. If the bottle is caught before it hits the ground, the throwing team drinks a full beer. If the frisbee hits the post, the same rules apply, but with a half beer. If the frisbee misses the post altogether, it must be caught, otherwise it's a drink. If the frisbee doesn't make it to the post, it's a drink. If the throw isn't catchable, it's a drink.
This is an insanely fun summer game.

Curiously, the same thing occurred in Japan around the same time period when Buddhism was actively promoted by both the royal family and struggling central state in order to consolidate and unify the country. There were indeed devotees, but Buddhism served an important political function in both early Japan and Tibet.
- Thus, while we may acknowledge genuine piety among the community of believers and the attraction of the coherent world view offered by the Buddhist message, we must conclude that Buddhism provided a unifying socio-cultural model that was promoted by Yarlung dynasty kings for political purposes.
Now there are a few points worth considering in respect to what both countries were dealing with:
- - A lack of a cohesive centralized state in a disorderly multi-tribal society.
- A landed aristocracy with their own interests often at odds with the royal family.
- Unorganized native polytheist traditions often connected with political interests at odds with the struggling central state.
- A fear of China, which in the Sui-Tang period (589-907) was visibly expansionist, well organized and extremely wealthy.
If we consider that alongside Buddhism there is always monasticism, then it makes sense that a monarch could gain the favour of a devout Buddhist populace by becoming the sole or primary sponsor of the sangha. I suspect the early leaders of Japan and Tibet had this in mind.
There is also the matter of morality and ethics proposed by the religion which presumably in a fledgling country with much tribal violence would have been appealing by leaders to promote so to placate the populace.
One other perhaps unfortunate point to admit is that Buddhism as a religion of non-violence lends itself to being easily controlled from above. Lacking the means to forcefully resist, and dependent on certain parties for its existence institutional Buddhism is readily contained and directed by the powers that be.
If anyone else has some ideas to share, please do so.

Bear can romp to hat-trick
PUBLISHED: 11:41 29 January 2013 | UPDATED: 11:49 29 January 2013
Preview of South Dorset at Milborne St Andrew
The South Dorset Hunt at Milborne St Andrew – Sunday 3 February 2013
Byerley Bear can become the first horse to win three point-to-points this season by taking the South Dorset Ladies' Open at Milborne St Andrew on Sunday. The Nigel Edmonds-trained ex-Irish eight-year-old, who has cruised home twice at Wadebridge, faces a strong challenge from William and Angela Rucker's Kicks For Free, the consistent Armoury House, Master Medic, who came with a storming run to win at Larkhill a month ago and Rainbow Tree, a regular winner for West Buckland trainer Alex Dunn. The ex-Willie Mullins-trained Jayo, winner of seven races in Ireland, and Restezen D'Armor, a three-time chase winner for Charlie Longsdon, are interesting, but Byerley Bear is fancied to make all the running.
Larkhill Racing Club winner Mendip Express and stable companion Mustangsallyrally are among the 23 entries for the Men's Open, along with Crank Hill, the winner of his four completed 2012 points and just touched off in a 4m-1f Cheltenham Hunter Chase. Consistent former Coronation Gold Cup winner Coombe Hill may be better suited to testing conditions than the progressive Certain Flight and gets the vote, with Mendip Express fancied to complete the frame.
Crank Hill is an automatic selection to retain the Hunt race trophy if connections take that option. The 2010 winner Gunner Be Quick – another who would relish a test of stamina – and Hackwood Park winner Doran's Lodge may be the strongest challengers.
A total of 138 are entered for the seven-race card, beginning with the 2m-4f Maiden at 12.00 noon. Billy Biscuit and Full Shift could represent South Midlands trainer Tom Lacey, who specialises in these events, while Polly Curling has entered the ex-Philip Hobbs-trained Piroulet. The Richard Barber-trained pair Redlynch Rock and Scotch Dry And Ice may give the Lacey runner most to do.
Billy Biscuit, Full Shift, Piroulet and Redlynch Rock are among the 32 entries for the 3-mile Maiden, but Bold Commander and Robin Will are the two suggestions.
Former top class chaser Gone To Lunch may make a comeback in the Novice Riders' race, which has attracted 23 entries. Battle Bridge, who was not disgraced behind Master Medic at Larkhill, Busy Isit who returns to the pointing field after a seven-year absence and six wins under Rules, Clew Bay Cove and Dashing John also catch the eye. Last year's winner Barneys Mate is a standing dish in these contests but may find Gone To Lunch just too good here.
Little Cornham gave Mendip Express plenty to think about at Larkhill and can gain compensation in the Restricted. Champagne Rosie won well at the same meeting and looks the danger.
The course at Milborne St Andrew is just off the A354 midway between Blandford and Dorchester. First race: 12.00 noon. Admission is to either of two car parks at £15 or £25 per car (£10 or £20 for single occupants) and £5 pedestrians.

Nail fungus
Just What You've Been Waiting For: All About Nail Fungus
Here's the main thing you need to know about nail fungus: AVOID. Seriously, the best way to treat this stubborn condition is to prevent it in the first place. I've compiled a few suggestions on how to do just that, plus some treatment options if you wind up with an infection.
What it is: Nail fungus is an infection of the nail bed. It often begins as a white or yellow spot under the nail, then spreads to the entire nail. Full-blown fungus usually makes the nail thick, brittle, and yellowed, with crumbly edges to the nail. (You can see pictures if you like, but you've been warned: it ain't pretty.)
How it's transferred: Fungi thrive in warm, dark, damp places, then happily transfer to your toenails or fingernails.
How to avoid it: Never walk barefoot in a public place such as a shower or swimming pool; instead, wear flip-flops to protect your feet from potential fungus hangouts. If you've battled nail fungus before, wear shoes and socks that "breathe," rather than nylons or socks that trap moisture. Take your own tools to nail salons, and never use the Jacuzzi-type foot-soaking tubs — they're harder to sanitize, so you risk picking up someone else's fungus.
To find out how to treat nail fungus,
If you already have nail fungus, you have my condolences. This is one stubborn infection, and it won't go away on its own. In fact, left untreated, the fungus will grow and grow, and it may spread to other nails. While it won't kill you, it's smart to tackle it rather than ignore it.
The best bet is to see a doctor, who may prescribe an antifungal medicine such as Lamisil. (See the little guy up there? He's their fungal spokesperson.) This type of medicine helps new nails grow without fungus, but it takes months to grow a new nail. You may also need to have tests to make sure your liver stays healthy while you take the medicine. Worse yet, these medications can run into the hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars.
Over-the-counter treatments are more or less worthless. Any drugstore will have topical anti-fungal products, but read the label; most, if not all, treat the skin around the nail, but not the nail itself. Folk remedies include using tea tree oil on the nail every night, but that's a hit-or-miss plan. Some people swear by using Vicks Vapo-Rub on the nail; while I haven't had nail fungus, the hypochondriac in me thought I did, and I wore Vapo-Rub to bed for two weeks. (Sexy.) It turned out that my fungus fears were for nothing, but the Vicks treatment did improve some of the discoloration left over from wearing red polish.
As you can see, battling nail fungus is not easy. Once again, it all goes back to prevention. If you can avoid picking it up, please do.

2007 Toyota Tundra - Hammer Strike
Toyota Tundra Paint Project
A couple issues ago, we gave an '07 Toyota Tundra a Fantastic Four transformation but the story doesn't end there. The Tundra belongs to Thor-not the god, but the maker of riding gear for the motocross market. It's a company with an epic reputation in the moto market that wanted a truck with a little urban flavor to flash its logo around town. Not wanting to settle for a vinyl wrap or similarly easy solution, Thor tapped the painters at Kelly & Son in Bellflower, California.Kelly & Son made the truck available to us for the Fantastic Four makeover. After that, Kelly & Son gave us the heads up about the truck's pending paintjob, so we thought we would shoot some pics. So here we are, with a paint tech story for you.
At first, we were skeptical of Kelly & Son's choice of colors for this project. Mitch Kelly mixed Crystal Black with Silver Star, both from PPG's Vibrance Collection, to get various shades of gray and silver, and kept some of the factory Tundra black. These are three colors one wouldn't expect to explode from the page ... but, this is the paint shop that gave us the candy orange and black Project Intimidator that we ran in our paint and body issue. Mitch Kelly and the rest of the guys at Kelly & Son-Tom, Jon, Shaggy, Brandon, and Jesse-are no slouches. Everyone involved made black, silver, and gray look pretty-darn good. Here's how they did it.

This was a routine project for Kelly & Son. It was amazing to see what could be done with gray, silver, and black. Mitch applied multiple layers of different shades, while checking them as he went along in order to manipulate the colors. If you know what you are doing, we suppose a paintjob like this isn't horribly difficult to execute, and fewer colors and less intricate graphics made the design of this paintjob easier. It's a great project for a shop that is on the go.

i have been using the Standby / Hibernation for one year with no problems on both Vista and Xp.
But now, when i put the PC to Standby or Hibernation it powers on from itself after undefined time ( from 1 to 5 hours ).
I do not use WOL or somthing like that.
Do you know anything about this problem? If yes, please tell me.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, as much as I may miss any of the folks that leave, I think it'll ultimately be good to shake up the cast a bit. Six of the current cast members (including Seth Meyers) have been around for 5-10 years already.

Good catch. Actually, I should've just said "6-11," since none of them (Meyers, Armisen, Thompson, Sudeikis, Samberg, Wiig) debuted later than fall 2005.

Comparing Sudeikis to Piscopo is f'in weird.

Okay, maybe Dana Carvey, then. And yes, I know there were extenuating circumstances for his career's nosedive, but still.
Again, I feel the need to point out that I like Sudeikis a lot and wish him the best, but if he's quitting SNL to pursue a film career, I'm not sure that he fully recognizes his own strengths/weaknesses. I think he'd do really well in an ensemble sitcom cast, though.

Anyone else get the impression Drunk Uncle went on a little bit longer than scripted this time? Moynihan was in the zone.

For the second time, when Drunk Uncle started I thought I'd hate it, but both times he killed it. "Is this wi-fi organic?" Was that the line? Something like that.
And Almost Pizza was SNL at it's best.

Lotta consensus here. Weekend Update winds up being a high point of the show more often than not these days, thanks largely to Hader and Moynihan. Another sure-fire high point being whatever Killam's doing in a given week. His star is on the rise, for sure.
Looks like the Zooey Deschanel Show is the new sketch they're going to suck all of the laughs and charm from through endless reiteration. This one was fine, but Lorne's predictable writing is on the wall.

Kristen Wiig does a really good Drew Barrymore impression, but ruins it by not even resembling her in the slightest. Armisen looks more like Barack Obama than she does Drew Barrymore.

Jay Pharaoh should be doing shit like the school principal all the damn time and Will Smith and Jay-Z impressions very little of the time. Let the man breathe!
Moynihan's dancing during the Empire State of Mind sketch was great. Gotye seems like a chill bro. Loved the open with all the GOP hopefuls at the bar. Laser Cats 7. Josh Brolin was pretty great each time he was on screen, especially in the aforementioned high school dance sketch.

Californians was pretty amazing.
Seconding Jay Pharaoh expanding out. I will say that I thought his impressions tonight were more comedically heightened. Like he added little tics so it was less straight forward. I hope he doesn't get the boot.

Gwen Stefani Spends Easter Sunday With Family
Gwen Stefani Spends a Festive Family Weekend With Her Boys
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale showed PDA during a visit to an LA park with their boys, Kingston and Zuma, on Saturday. The family's pup also joined in on the outing to the playground, where the boys chowed down on popsicles. The family fun continued yesterday during a visit to Gwen's parents' home for Easter celebrations. Gwen donned a white dress while her boys wore matching outfits for the holiday festivities. Kingston and Zuma got a head start on the Easter festivities last weekend, when they visited the Easter Bunny.
Gwen has been busy balancing her home life and work with No Doubt. The band recently announced that they would be canceling their tour in order to work on a new album, and Gwen and her bandmates are staying true to their word. She took to Twitter last week to reveal that she and the band are hard at work on the new music, sharing, "Writing, writing, writing. Back at it today."

By Edwin C. Darden
Technology can be both a salvation and a curse.
In particular, devices that capture images are useful because they potentially provide irrefutable legal proof of "whodunit." Yet the key is deploying video and the sometimes accompanying sound in a way that exploits beneficial uses for evidence and recordkeeping purposes while avoiding traps lurking on the underside.
Board members and superintendents have some tough decisions to make, both now and down the road, about the use of video technology. This column explores several instances in which conflict arises from good intentions.
As is true with many education law issues, the rule of reason should prevail. For non-lawyers called upon to make decisions, the icky test is as good as any. If it feels a bit yucky, if it strikes one as slightly wrong or unreasonable, then hesitation and consultation -- with your school attorney -- is in order.

Michael Young: Upon further review
Rangers shortstop understands the trickiness of homer calls
Instant replay is now part of the game, and I'm for it -- as long as it remains in its current form.
Everyone has an opinion about it. I personally don't mind instant replay in its present capacity. I just don't want to see it go beyond this. Right now, it's for home-run calls, and I feel pretty strongly that it should remain for home-run calls only.
You can look at allowing replay into the game as a slippery slope, or just the beginning, but I'd like to see it stay put. I don't think we should involve it in more types of plays. It's fine the way it is. If we can get a call correct on a home run that has game-changing implications, then all right. Anything beyond that, I'm not in favor of it.
I don't know if I've necessarily seen more controversial home-run calls this year than in years past, but there were three or so tough calls in a short span near the beginning of this season. That sparked a media-type firestorm about instant replay. You think to yourself, "Here we go." It can happen that quickly.
The process worked the way it should work. I don't think it was rushed. The conversation had started before this season. Then you had those instances earlier this season, and that seemed to push it over the top. I don't think this decision was rushed. I think it was handled the right way.
As a middle infielder, I stand a similar distance with the umpires from where they need to make some of these home-run calls. For me, I don't have to follow the flight of a ball. They do. It's not an easy call to make from a distance like that.
At the end of the day, you want the call to be right. That will happen more often now because of instant replay in its present form.
All-Star shortstop Michael Young, nearing the completion of his eighth MLB season, is among those players in favor of the use of instant replay. Last November, general managers called for use of the technology in a 25-5 vote, and on Aug. 26, MLB implemented instant replay through the remainder of the regular season and postseason.
