Guidance on Charging Fees to Students Funded by CPP
A number of school districts and community programs have asked for assistance in determining whether they could charge fees to students funded by the Colorado Preschool Program. While some fees are not addressed directly in the CPP Act there are several statutory references that can inform districts in determining legislative intent when establishing their policies. Below is information clarifying what types of fees can and cannot be charged to early childhood students.
Can we charge Colorado Preschool Program families a registration fee?
CPP children are funded in the School Finance Formula to participate in an early childhood program
for 360 hours per school year. Families cannot be charged a registration fee as a condition of enrollment in the preschool program funded by CPP (22-32-117 (2) (b) (I) C.R.S.). If the preschool day is extended beyond the 360 hours a registration fee may be considered.
Can we charge Colorado Preschool Program families a fee for extending the day beyond what is required by CPP?
Yes. CPP statute is clear that if a program is extended beyond those 360 hours funded by the state
parent fees can be charged to parents.
However, a child cannot be required to participate in and/or pay for those extended day services in order to be funded by CPP.
Most families in CPP cannot afford additional tuition payments or fees and therefore they may access
other support services like the Child Care Assistance Program or private scholarships to pay for the extended day (22-28-111 (1)–(2) C.R.S.).
Can we charge tuition fees to children not funded in the School Finance Formula by the Colorado Preschool Program or early childhood special education?
Yes. Children under the age of six are not entitled to a free education and as a result, school districts
can charge tuition for those children who are not supported by CPP or early childhood special
education through the School Finance Formula (22-33-103 C.R.S. ).
Can we charge Colorado Preschool Program families any other types of fees?
Before any fees are charged to families, there are several questions that should be considered:
- Has the local school board approved these fees? If any fees are charged to students in public schools, including preschool students, they must be approved by the local board of education.
Fees can only be used for the purpose for which they are collected and the board must be able to identify:
- A list of approved fees
- How the amount of fees was determined
- The purpose of the fees
- Whether the fees are voluntary or mandatory and which activities the child will be excluded from if the fee is not paid (22-32-117 (c) C.R.S.).
- Will children eligible for free meals be exempt from these fees?
Children eligible for free meals are considered "indigent" and are therefore exempt from paying any additional fees (22-32-117 (1) C.R.S.).
- Are the fees being charged for services considered part of the preschool program?
Miscellaneous fees can only be collected if they cover an activity or program that is not considered part of the academic portion of the program.
These fees can only be collected on a voluntary basis (22-32-117 (2) (a) (IV) C.R.S.) and the board has to identify what activity the child will be excluded from if the fee is not paid (22-32-117 (3) C.R.S. ).
- If the school district is contracting out the program to a community provider have the additional fees being charged by the program been reviewed and approved by the CPP district advisory council and the local board of education?
When contracting out the Colorado Preschool Program, CPP district advisory councils must make recommendations for funding to the local school board (2228 – R 4.10 C.C.R.).
Then local boards of education must ensure that moneys transmitted to community programs do not supplant moneys available to fund other services provided by the agency or program (22-28-109 (2) C.R.S.).
Final determination for funding is the responsibility of the local school board (2228 – R 4.10 C.C.R).

Black Lab's "Chinglish" explores love, cultural gap
'Chinglish' depicts an American's comic misadventures in China
An American businessman's comic misadventures in China set the stage for the May 9-26 regional premiere of David Henry Hwang's "Chinglish," presented by Asia Society Texas Center and Houston's cutting-edge Black Lab Theatre.
"It's a sexy and romantic play about the challenges of doing business in a culture whose language and ways of communicating are worlds apart from our own," Black Lab artistic director Jordan Jaffe said.
About half of the dialogue is in Mandarin Chinese, with the English translation displayed in surtitles, said Mike Yager, who plays the leading role of Daniel Cavanaugh.
"The surtitles are vital because so much of the humor is in the fun interplay of what gets lost in translation," said Yager, who lives in Westbury.
For example, American audiences can laugh about a handicapped restroom sign misread as "deformed man's toilet," or a caution sign that's mistranslated as "slip and fall down carefully."
When Cavanaugh tells Chinese businessmen, "We're a small family firm," audiences see that the translator's version projected onscreen as "His company is tiny and insignificant."
More Information
Want to go?
What: "Chinglish" by David Henry Hwang
When: 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays, May 9-26
Where: Asia Society Texas Center, 1370 Southmore Blvd.
Cost: $25 for Asia Society members; $30 for senior adults, students with ID and groups of 10 or more and $35 for others.
Information: www.asiasociety.org/texas or 713-496-9901.
Cavanaugh's love interest, Xi, is portrayed by actress Vivian Chiu, a veteran of the show's Broadway production, who also performed in "Chinglish" at Berkeley Repertory Theatre, South Coast Repertory and the Hong Kong Arts Festival.
Chiu, who is based in New York City, grew up in Taiwan, where Mandarin Chinese is the official language.
"The show is a perfect fit for the Asia Society because they are so involved in bridging American and Asian ties," Chiu said. "David Henry Hwang was born in Los Angeles, but he is such an intelligent craftsman that he was able to weave and blend characters and dialogue to show the difficulty and challenges of defining Chinese values to an American visitor."
Miscommunications in the play "go beyond words," Yager said. "It isn't necessarily the language that my character doesn't understand, but also the other characters' behavior and what's actually happening in a scene.
"Learning to understand the Chinese culture - not just Chinese and American cultural differences, but all cultures that are inherently different - requires us to relinquish a lot of preconceived notions by listening and respecting, and not making judgments based on incomplete knowledge," Yager said.
A twist at the end of Act I provides a dramatic link to the city of Houston, Chiu revealed.
"Everybody in this play has his or her own secrets," she added, explaining that characters exploit language and cultural differences to protect their secrets.
Yager, a native of Casper, Wyo., who received his bachelor of arts in theater from the University of Texas, said he's looking forward to seeing how different ethnic groups will respond to the show.
"I think people are really going to be blown away by it when it comes together," Yager said.
"It's crazy funny, challenging, sexy, romantic, heartbreaking. It's a crowd-pleaser for sure - now we just need a crowd."
"Chinglish," directed by Troy Scheid, will be performed at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and 2 p.m. Sundays, May 9-26 at Asia Society Texas Center, 1370 Southmore Blvd. For more information, visit www.asiasociety.org/texas or call 713-496-9901.

Powell named Lincoln Academy Student Laureate
On November 3, 2012, National Louis University senior Willie Powell was among the 52 students honored by the Lincoln Academy of Illinois as a Student Laureate. The Lincoln Academy's Student Laureate Awards are presented for excellence in curricular and extracurricular activities to seniors from each of the four-year, degree-granting colleges and universities in Illinois.
Being recognized as a Student Laureate and earning her Bachelor of Arts in Applied Behavioral Sciences from National Louis is a far cry from where Powell's schooling began more than a half century ago. Born on a farm in Mississippi in 1942, she is one of 16 children in a family that did not value education and was not encouraged to attend school. With only a GED, she spent years supporting her family with low paying jobs, all the while dreaming of getting a higher education degree and becoming a teacher.
In the fall of 2008, at the age of 66, Powell enrolled in a community college to begin the journey toward completing her degree. She was a member of the honor society at Triton College, was on the dean's list for two semesters, and was selected for an internship at Disney in 2008. During her time at NLU, she has maintained this same high level of excellence, earning a 4.0 GPA. She plans to continue her education by seeking a graduate degree in teaching.
"Willie's drive to complete her education is an inspiration to us all," said Dr. Nivine Megahed, president of National Louis University. "It is wonderful to be able to help her achieve her long-lived dream of gaining her degree and congratulate her on being named a Lincoln Academy Student Laureate."
As a Student Laureate winner, Powell received a medallion presented by Gov. Pat Quinn, a certificate of achievement and an honorarium check. The award ceremony was held at the Old State Capitol in the House of Representatives Chamber in Springfield followed by a luncheon in the Governor's Executive Mansion. This event marked the 38th year that students have been honored by the Academy.
The Lincoln Academy, unique among the 50 states, was established 47 years ago to honor Illinois' most distinguished citizens with the state's highest award, the Order of Lincoln.

You associate the Netherlands with Tulips and THC, not tax-evasion, but that's exactly what some tech companies are using the country for. According to Bloomberg, Yahoo, Dell and Google have set up offices in Holland in order to take advantage of the country's lenient tax laws and funnel millions and millions of dollars into off-shore subsidiaries.
How does it work? Firms creatively move funds through shell companies using nicknames, like "Dutch Sandwich", for example. With that tactic, Bloomberg says last year Google was able to route $US10 million through a shell company in Bermuda via the Netherlands, which saved it $US2 billion in worldwide taxes. Dell leveraged a subsidiary called Dell Global BV to pay income taxes at a rate of one-tenth of 1 per cent on profits of $US2 billion in 2011. But it hasn't even had an employee in Holland since 2009. And Yahoo cut its bill by $US42.8 million last year with similar strategies.
These sneaky plays cut companies' tax bills but it also loses money for the Netherlands, which is none too pleased about it. It's not illegal, but it's not exactly fair. And there's growing anger about tax dodging in the EU, especially in light of Europe's sour economic state. The Dutch Parliament is debating tax laws this week, but EU-wide change doesn't look promising, considering it would take unanimous approval from all 27 member states. Regardless, it's not building tech companies any good will in Europe. [Bloomberg]

BALTIMORE – UMBC women's lacrosse hits the road for back-to-back games, starting with a trip to Drexel on Saturday, March 8. Game time is set for 1 p.m. at Vidas Field, with live action available at UMBCRetrievers.com.
UMBC holds an 8-4 advantage in the all-time series against the Dragons, including last season's, 14-8, victory on March 9. The Retrievers trailed, 4-3, at the half in last year's matchup, but exploded for an 11-goal second half, including eight straight scores, to hand Drexel, who had been receiving votes in the national polls, its first loss of the season. Midfielder Alyssa Semones (Westminster, Md./Westminster/Penn State) scored a game-high four goals in the contest.
The Retrievers have battled injuries in the early going to post a 2-3 record through the first five games. UMBC is coming off a tough 16-6 loss to High Point on Wednesday, but freshman Caroline Haggerty (Bel Air, Md./John Carroll School) stepped up in her first collegiate start to score the first two goals of her career in the loss.
Junior Abby Wilson (Bel Air, Md./Fallston) snapped her four game scoring streak on Wednesday, but still leads the squad with eight points on the year. Semones has a team-best six scores on the season, while also leading the squad in draw controls (11) and ground balls (10). Sophomore Rachel Benzing (Ellicott City, Md./Centennial) has chipped in nine draw controls and four assists.
Drexel (2-3) has dropped three straight, including Wednesday's matchup at Villanova, 9-5. Senior Kelly Palace scored a pair of goals in the contest to bring her season total to a team-best 10 scores. Senior Amanda Norcini and junior Joelle Hartke have each registered eight goals and four assists for 12 points apiece.

Although Apple's next iPhone operating system is at least a month away from release, Wired.com got a hands-on peek at the latest beta and found some interesting goodies that have not been officially announced.
Most notably, the iPhone OS 4 beta 3 software includes a brand new iPod widget and a file-sharing feature that was previously exclusive to the iPad. (These features were previously reported by Boy Genius Report.)
Other new features we tested were those on display during Apple's recent iPhone event: multitasking, folders, universal e-mail, wallpaper and camera zoom. Taken together, they paint a picture of an operating system that is well on its way to a major upgrade, one that will greatly increase the usability of Apple's growing family of iPhone OS-based devices.
The iPhone OS is Apple's mobile platform, which powers the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. After releasing the iPad, iPhone OS 4 will be Apple's next move to do battle in an increasingly competitive mobile landscape. Currently, Apple's biggest rival is Google's Android OS, and upcoming contenders include Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 and HP, which recently acquired Palm.
Apple has said the iPhone OS 4 upgrade will be available this summer for iPhones (3G and 3GS models) and the third-generation iPod Touch, and in the fall for the iPad. (The older iPod Touch devices and the first-generation iPhone will not support the OS.)
Apple has released previous iPhone OS upgrades during its Worldwide Developers Conference in years past. Apple's upcoming WWDC kicks off June 7, so expect the official upgrade to become available for download around then.
Meanwhile, take a look at what we found in the beta to get an idea of what to expect.
Multitasking ————
This couldn't have come at a better time. Pressing the Home button twice brings up a bar at the bottom of the screen that shows apps that are running in the background. Tap an icon and the main screen very quickly rotates over to the corresponding app. This is far more efficient than the current process, which requires you to press the Home button to leave an app and then launch another app.
Multitasking will be especially important for the iPad for those who plan to use it for work, since it will allow quicker switching between different apps. It will also enable apps to run in the background, so you can (for instance) listen to music from the Pandora app while you chat with your friends in Meebo.
If there's an app showing up in the multitasking bar that you're not using often, you can hold your finger down on it until the icon jiggles. Tap the – (minus sign) button in the corner and the app closes.
One caveat: Apple said multitasking will only work on the current iPhone 3GS; it does not work on the iPhone 3G.
iPod widget ———–
In the same bar you use for multitasking, you can swipe all the way to the left to access a control panel for the iPod. Using that panel you can play, skip or go backward a track. The widget also contains a shortcut to your iPod app in case you want to view your whole library. It works great, and I'm a big fan of this addition. Perhaps Apple will at some point introduce a widget API for third-party apps to have their own controllers similar to the iPod's. That would be very interesting, wouldn't it?
To the left of the iPod widget is a screen-orientation lock in case you don't want your iPhone flipping back and forth between landscape and portrait mode. That serves the same function as the physical orientation-locking switch on the iPad.
Folders ——-
If you're an appoholic and want to clear some clutter from your screen, you can now create folders to hold your apps. Holding your finger on an app makes it jiggle, and you can then drag it on top of a similar app to create a folder. For example, if you drag a game on top of another game, it creates a game folder, and you can keep adding more games to it. It works smoothly, though at times you'll probably accidentally create folders when all you wanted to do was rearrange your apps. It takes just a few minutes to get used to, however.
Wallpaper ———
iPhone OS 4 now enables you to display a wallpaper behind your apps on your springboard just like you can with the iPad (or with jailbroken iPhones).
Some will enjoy this feature, but I found it fugly. The screen just looks too noisy with apps and a wallpaper in the background. Surprisingly there's no option to disable the springboard wallpaper, but I'm guessing that was just an option that was left out of the beta. In its absence, you can simply select an all-black image as the wallpaper.
Universal e-mail —————-
One of the most impressive and useful features in iPhone OS 4 is the ability to view e-mail from two e-mail addresses in a single inbox. An "All Inboxes" tab at the top of your Mail screen is all you have to tap. If you have multiple e-mail accounts to monitor (say, work and personal) that should cut down on the amount of time you spend reading messages. Bravo!
Camera zoom ———–
In your camera app, if you tap and hold your finger on a specific area, you can zoom in using a sliding bar. It's digital zoom, so of course it degrades the quality the more you zoom; a test image looked awfully blurry. There will be some situations, however, where this should come in handy.
File sharing ————
Finally, there's a feature that doesn't work at all yet but appears promising: iTunes file sharing. When your iPhone is plugged in and you click the Apps tab, you can see a File Sharing option that says it can transfer documents between your iPhone and your computer. Currently the iPad has a similar feature for syncing files to some apps, so hopefully we'll get a working version when the official iPhone OS 4 is released.
And that about covers it for now. There were a couple of bugs here and there, as to be expected in a beta, but so far, the OS is running very smoothly. Also, iPhone OS 4 feels significantly faster than iPhone OS 3 – much zippier Safari web browsing and overall responsiveness.
Overall, this is a big upgrade to look forward to.

Marian Anderson, who made Danbury, Conn., her home for several decades, triumphed over the legacy of poverty and racial discrimination to become the most famous opera singer of the 20th century. She was the first African American to perform with the Metropolitan Opera, and her Easter Sunday concert in 1939, before 75,000 people at the Lincoln Memorial, was hailed as a defining moment in the history of civil rights in the United States.
Born in 1897 in Philadelphia, Pa., Anderson was raised by her widowed mother who took in laundry to support three children. At the age of six, she joined the choir of the Union Baptist Church, soon attracting the notice of the director. Anderson's first formal singing lessons began at age 15. She applied to a local music school in 1914 but was denied entrance by a receptionist who told her, "We don't take colored." In 1925, her vocal instructor, Giuseppe Boghetti, entered his talented student in a New York Philharmonic voice competition. Competing against 300 other vocalists, Anderson took first prize, was signed by a concert manager and began her performance career.
Anderson spent the early 1930s in Europe, touring the continent and honing her operatic skills. When the impresario Sol Hurok heard her sing in Paris, he persuaded Anderson to return to the United States and remained her manager for the rest of her career. Anderson's homecoming was met with accolades after a performance in New York about which the New York Times' Howard Taubman wrote that Anderson had "returned to her native land one of the greatest singers of her time." Legendary conductor Arturo Toscanini would remark in 1935 that "a voice like hers is heard once in a hundred years."
She embarked on an ambitious schedule of seventy concerts a year, but it was not until 1939 that deeply ingrained prejudices resulted in the incident that made Anderson a household name. Hurok tried to book her at Constitution Hall in the national headquarters of the Daughters of the American Revolution and was told all of the dates were taken. In truth, the D.A.R. rejected Anderson because of race. As a result (and after Hurok took the case to the public) First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt resigned from the D.A.R. and other prominent women soon followed suit. Vindication for Anderson came when Mrs. Roosevelt persuaded Harold Ickes, the Secretary of the Interior, to make arrangements for an Easter Sunday concert at the Lincoln Memorial. In addition to the 75,000 people who gathered at the Memorial, millions more listened on the radio as Anderson sang a stirring rendition of "My Country Tis of Thee" that quickly became a milestone in the emerging civil rights movement. Indeed, Anderson's performance inspired 10-year-old Martin Luther King, Jr. who later mentioned it in a public speaking contest.
Anderson continued to tour the country, but it was not until 1955 that she became the first African American to sing in a major role at the Metropolitan Opera, performing in Verdi's Ballo in Maschera. In 1957, the U.S. State Department sponsored a tour of Asia in which Anderson sang 24 concerts in 14 countries. She sang at the inaugurations of both Dwight D. Eisenhower and John F. Kennedy, and in 1963 became one of the first recipients of the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Later in her life, she was honored with numerous awards including the UN Peace Prize in 1972, induction into the National Women's Hall of Fame in 1973, the Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Award in 1984, a National Medal of Arts in 1986 and a Grammy Award for Lifetime Achievement in 1991. The Marian Anderson Award was created in 1998 and honors artists whose work for humanitarian causes benefits society.
Marian Anderson married Orpheus Fisher, an architect, in 1943. They bought a farm in Danbury, Conn., after being unable as a black couple to purchase land in other suburban communities. "Marianna Farm" became their home; Fisher designed and constructed the main residence, a barn and a recording studio for his famous wife. After Fisher's death in 1986, Anderson continued to live on the farm until 1992; she died in Portland, Ore., in 1993 and is buried in Philadelphia. Marianna Farm was sold to a developer, but local residents and members of the Danbury Museum and Historical Society rescued Anderson's studio and moved it to its present location, where visitors can learn about the famous contralto's life and career through clothing, recordings and other artifacts.
Marian Anderson did not set out to shatter racial barriers; she was essentially a classical musician who wished to sing and perform. Nevertheless, Anderson's resilience, perseverance and dignity not only inspired younger African-American women in the opera world, but also broke new ground on the road to a more just and equal society.
During This Time
1921 - 1945: Prosperity, Depression, & War
Industrial growth, economic expansion, and plenty of consumer goods gave women more purchasing power and pleasure in the 1920s. Women gained political office, but after achieving the right to vote the Women's Movement fractured over the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA). The percentage of married women in the workforce doubled, though in menial jobs, while women of color had few opportunities. The media's message about the home was ambivalent. For daughters, the young flapper was glamorized in movies starring Clara Bow who had It (sex appeal). But the modern mother, equipped with widely-advertised appliances, was expected to keep house and raise children with new efficiency.
The prosperity of the twenties contrasted with the hardships of the 1930s following the 1929 stock market crash. Farm families in the Dust Bowl, suffering from drought and crop failures, fled to California where they worked as migratory laborers. As impoverished families across America struggled, desertion rose (but not divorce, which was expensive), and family size grew smaller. Women's jobs were largely confined to low-paying domestic labor, garment factories, and food-processing plants, all further segregated by race and ethnicity.
In the midst of the Great Depression, President Roosevelt, helped by wife Eleanor, brought strong leadership toward recovery with the New Deal. Professional women were included in federal projects, and work relief programs gave help to poor women. The Social Security Act of 1935 owed much to Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins, the first woman to serve in the Cabinet. African-American Mary McLeod Bethune, using her executive position in the National Youth Administration, pressured the administration to provide equal pay for blacks in all programs.
World War II deeply influenced women's lives. Sex-segregated labor diminished, as symbolized in the poster of "Rosie the Riveter." Women were accepted into the military, though the public was concerned about the loss of femininity. Defense industries were reluctant to admit women, but as men were drafted, the resistance eroded. Older, married women provided the largest number of new workers. Black, Mexican, and Chinese women had new opportunities, but Japanese women suffered internment in camps. With demobilization, women were laid off, but many were soon back on the job. Their role still was defined in the home, but the war had increased women's activities in the workplace.

Endoscopic Band Ligation
(Esophageal Band Ligation)
by Krisha McCoy, MS
Esophageal varices are abnormal blood vessels (veins) that develop in the esophagus. They have abnormally thin walls, and the blood pressure within them is very high. This combination makes esophageal varices very dangerous, because they can burst and cause life-threatening bleeding.
Endoscopic band ligation is the use of elastic bands to treat the varices. It is done as part of an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done to prevent or treat bleeding from esophageal varices.
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Description of the Procedure
For this procedure, you will lie on your left side. If you are not intubated a mouthpiece will be placed to help keep your mouth open. An assistant will be in the room to monitor your breathing and heartbeat. You may also be given oxygen through your nose. A suction tube will be used to clear the saliva and other fluids from your mouth.
A lubricated endoscope will be placed into your mouth. It will be passed down your throat and into your esophagus. The scope will have a small light and a camera. The doctor will watch the images on a video monitor. Air will be passed through the scope to help view the esophagus. The doctor will be able to locate the enlarged vein.
Instruments will be passed through the scope. The enlarged tissue will be sucked into the device's chamber. One or more bands will be placed around the tissue to clamp off the blood supply.
How Long Will It Take?
Typically, less than 1 hour
Will It Hurt?
You will usually feel some pressure and discomfort, but not pain, during the procedure. After the procedure, your throat may feel irritated and sore.
Postprocedure Care
At the Care Center
You will be taken to a recovery area until the effects of your medications have worn off. In most cases, you will be observed for about an hour. If you feel well, you can then go home.
At Home
After returning home, follow your doctor's instructions.
In the days or weeks after your procedure, the tissue that was banded will slough off.
Follow-up with you doctor as directed. You may need additional procedures.
Call Your Doctor
Contact your doctor if your recovery is not progressing as expected or you develop complications, such as:
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

Nearly three weeks after the FIFA U-20 World Cup Turkey 2013 got under way, the identity of the two finalists has finally been revealed. France and Uruguay are the two sides who will face off at the Ali Sami Yan Arena in Istanbul on Saturday in a match-up that few would have predicted before the start of the competition.
While the French have always figured among the tournament favourites, the same cannot be said of the Uruguayans, who nevertheless boast more experience at this stage of the competition, having reached the final in 1997, when they needed extra time to get past Ghana. In contrast, this weekend's showpiece will be a whole new experience for Les Bleuets. On top of that, five members of Juan Verzeri's Celeste squad also figured in the final of the FIFA U-17 World Cup Mexico 2011.
France booked their place in the final after making their finishing count against a plucky Ghana side, while Uruguay came within three minutes of defeat in normal time before finally seeing off surprise packages Iraq on penalties. FIFA.comrounds-up a day of semi-final drama.
The results Semi-finals
France 2-1 Ghana (Thauvin 43', 74'; Assifuah 47')
Iraq 1-1 Uruguay ( a.e.t. 6-7 pens) (Adnan 34'; Bueno 87')
*Memorable moments *
The gloves have it
When it comes to getting Lady Luck on your side before a big game like a FIFA U-20 World Cup semi-final, no pre-match ritual, superstition or habit can be considered too outlandish. At least that is probably what France striker Yaya Sanogo and Ghana coach Sellas Tetteh were thinking in the countdown to today's crunch meeting.
The former surprised everyone by taking to the pitch in a fetching pair of gloves, a slightly needless item of clothing given the 30-degree heat in Bursa at kick-off time. After hearing the Marseillaise played the French front man discarded the cold weather accessories.
For his part Tetteh resorted to his lucky polo shirt, the same one he wore for his side's defeat of Chile in the last eight. Bearing in mind that the Black Satellites came back twice on that occasion before stealing victory with a last-minute winner in extra time, the coach's sartorial choice did not seem such a bad one. In the end, however, it was Sanogo and his lucky gloves that were on the winning side.
My game is fair play
Players and coaches were anxious to set an example on the day that FIFA put the spotlight on fair play at this the 19th FIFA U-20 World Cup. In both games there were various instances of sportsmanship on the pitch, starting with the France-Ghana tie, during which French keeper Alphonse Areola came to the assistance of a cramp-stricken Baba Mensah even though the ball was still in play. And at the end of the game, smiling Ghana coach Tetteh made a beeline for opposite number Pierre Mankowski to offer him his congratulations and a big hug.
Iraq and Uruguay played out their match in much the same spirit. Following an accidental collision, Iraqi goalkeeper Mohammed Hameed and his team-mate Ali Adnan were both spread-eagled on the ground and required lengthy medical attention. As they were being seen to, Uruguay captain Gaston Silva stayed by their side and checked to see how they were, fulfilling to the letter the message he had read out prior to kick-off: "We pledge to demonstrate our fairness and solidarity now and in the future, both on and off the football field."
Better late than never
When asked a few days ago who the worst timekeeper in the Uruguay squad was, Charrúa skipper Silva pointed the finger at Gonzalo Bueno. In keeping with his reputation, Bueno left it late again in Wednesday's semi-final, coming on in the 64th minute with his side trailing 1-0 and popping up with the equaliser with just three minutes remaining. Strangely enough, the move that led to the goal involved the three substitutes introduced by coach Verzeri in the second half: Diego Rolan, that man Bueno and Felipe Avenatti. La Celeste eventually prevailed on penalties, putting an end to a curse that had befallen the other Latin American sides to play at the Huseyin Avni Aker Stadium in Trabzon, where Colombia – on two occasions, El Salvador and Paraguay had all failed to win earlier in the competition.
*The stat *
*28 - *The number of years since a FIFA U-20 World Cup semi-final was decided on penalties, when Spain beat the hosts in a shootout at USSR 1985. This time around the spoils went to Uruguay, who saw off a Iraq side that has still yet to lose in the competition in normal playing time and who are also the only team to have played three consecutive matches that have gone to extra-time and contested two successive penalty shootouts. In the first of those, against Korea Republic in the quarter-finals, the Asian side enjoyed the luck that would ultimately desert them against the Uruguayans.
The words
Que lindo ver a Uruguay en la final!!!! Felicitaciones a la sub 20!!!!!
— Sebastian Coates (@SebastianCoates) July 10, 2013
"So nice to see Uruguay in the final!!!! Congrats to the U-20!!!!!" Sebastian Coates, defender for the Uruguay senior team

The IKS Negh'Var was a Klingon Negh'Var-type warship that was in service with the Klingon Defense Force in the late 24th century.
Launched in the early 2370s, it was the first Negh'Var warship in the fleet, and served as the flagship of the Klingon Empire. It was equipped with a cloaking device.
In early 2372, the Negh'Var led a task force consisting of hundreds Klingon vessels in an invasion of the Cardassian Union. It was commanded by General Martok (or rather the changeling infiltrator that replaced Martok). The vessel later led the attack on Deep Space 9. (DS9: "The Way of the Warrior")
In mid-2373, the Negh'Var, carrying Chancellor Gowron, retreated to Deep Space 9 along with other Klingon forces, which had been expelled from Cardassian space by the Dominion. (DS9: "By Inferno's Light")

Tuesday, February 11, 2014
Norman – Feb. 10, 2014 – As more facilities, businesses and campuses pass health-focused policies to restrict smoking, tobacco companies have shifted their promotional focus from cigarettes to smokeless tobacco. Also referred to as chew, snuff, snus and dip, smokeless tobacco products are being marketed as "less harmful" alternatives to cigarettes.Through With Chew Week, Feb. 16–22, calls attention to smokeless tobacco use, highlighting the fact that no tobacco products are safe.
"While cigarettes are the most lethal form of tobacco, smokeless tobacco products are not a safe alternative to smoking, " said Jerry Deming, Tobacco-Free Cleveland County. "Smokeless tobacco is addictive and causes serious health problems, including oral, esophageal and pancreatic cancers."
In fact, smokeless tobacco users have an 80 percent higher risk of developing oral cancer and a 60 percent higher risk of developing pancreatic and esophageal cancer than non-tobacco users. According to the 2014 Surgeon General's Report, there has been a steady increase in smokeless tobacco use since 2004. Several contributing factors include increased smokeless tobacco advertising expenditures, the introduction of a wide variety of new smokeless products and flavors at low price points, and marketing messages intended to specifically appeal to current or former smokers.
"Smokeless tobacco use still remains a threat to Oklahomans, as our state ranks 45th in smokeless tobacco use according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control," said Jerry Deming. "Through with Chew Week is the perfect opportunity for Oklahomans to encourage friends and loved ones to quit tobacco use."
Oklahomans with a desire to quit using smokeless tobacco, or any other form of tobacco, can contact the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline to receive FREE services. Through the Helpline, tobacco users can receive free coaching with highly-trained quit coaches, a personalized quit plan, specialized materials and resources to become tobacco free. Most callers enrolled in the program will also receive free patches, gum or lozenges.
To get started with the Helpline, call 1-800-QUIT-NOW (1-800-784-8669) or visit OKhelpline.com. Services are also available in Spanish by contacting 1-855-DEJELO-YA (1-855-335-3569).
"Tobacco dependence is a chronic, relapsing condition," said Jerry Deming. "Even if you've tried to quit before, it is important to never, ever give up!"
The Helpline is funded by TSET, the Oklahoma State Department of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Oklahoma Employees Group Insurance Board and the Oklahoma Health Care Authority. More than 250,000 Oklahomans have accessed the Oklahoma Tobacco Helpline by phone or online for quit coaching assistance since the free service began in 2003.

Jerry Brown
Name at birth: Edmund Gerald Brown, Jr.
Jerry Brown was elected governor of California in 2010, an achievement made more remarkable by the fact that he had already been the state's governor in the 1970s. The son of former California attorney general and governor "Pat" Brown, Jerry Brown was a Jesuit seminary student and lawyer before he followed his dad's path into politics and government. Jerry Brown was California's secretary of state (1970-74), then succeeded Ronald Reagan as governor and served two terms (1975-83). A young bachelor with a quirky but media-friendly persona, Governor Brown made national news for his progressive politics, his presidential ambitions and his personal life. He lobbied for a communications satellite and was labeled "Governor Moonbeam"; he played the spoiler role in the Democratic presidential primaries of 1976 and 1980; he dated pop singer Linda Ronstadt and took her on a highly publicized trip to Africa. After his second term as governor he ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate, traveled to Japan to study Zen Buddhism, worked in Mother Teresa's programs in India and hosted a California radio show. He also ran for U.S. President in 1976, 1980 and 1992. A maverick Democrat throughout most of his career, Brown was elected to the nonpartisan post of mayor of Oakland, California in 1998 and re-elected in 2002. He was elected to be the state's Attorney General in 2006, his reputation as a far-left liberal having been somewhat tempered from his early years. In 2010 Brown again won election as governor, beating Republican Meg Whitman, the former CEO of online auction site eBay. He took office for a four-year term in January of 2011.
Jerry Brown married for the first time in 2005, to Anne Gust, a former lawyer and Chief Administrative Officer for clothing chain The Gap. Anne Gust Brown was born on 15 March 1958.

Auto .Net code Generation based on SQL Table
It has always been a heck for programmers to start form scratch when developing Asp.Net pages with some common functionality like Add / Delete/ Update record & Design Html. Well there's no doubt that all programmers are lazy. Lazy in the sense, who believe in Smart work & minimizing there work & rework. Definitely, I'm also one of them.
Alright, lets start with the main topic. While developing Any Asp.net Page what we need & how much time it takes ??
Here's the answer… :
- HTML Page with Server Controls, (Appx. 20 mins.)
- Code Behind File to handle Events, (Appx. 20 mins.)
- A DB Class which contains methods for Adding/ Updating & Deleting Records from DB Tables. (Appx. 20 mins)
- Stored Procedures to perform DB Actions (Appx. Time 60 mins.)
For Creating all these things this usually takes approximately 2-8 Hrs depending on the complexity of your DB Tables.
But, what if you get all the above thing in JUST A CLICK. That sounds Cool ! isn't it ?
At first, I tried searching for application that can perform this activity. But was unable to get any result for this. So After digging up Google, I made my final decision to Create Such Application By My Own. And here's what I have "Express.NetArchitect".
Complete Downloadable Source Code Available Below:
(RapidShare) Download Source (Size : 107 KB)
(RapidShare) Download Executable(Size : 32 KB)
If you like my post kindly leave your comments & suggestion below.
If you believe that this application needs to have additional features and this can be experimented then we can take it CodePlex.com and your suggestion we can make it a boon for .Net programmers.
Thanks Good luck.

Karamo's Real World Fight
He also started his own non-profit organization The Brave Heart Fund, which assists teens who have had the courage to come out. The organization provides financial support for those outed teens whose parents, schools and communities often abandon. "We want Brave Heart to be that shoulder that teens to lean on,� he said.
(Karamo, right, is involved in the good fight).
It's been over two years since Karamo made his reality TV debut as one of the residents on MTV's "Real World Philadelphia.�
The tall, intelligent, pecan-brown, brother who was an instant hit with his female housemates and fans, shocked the world when he broke his silence and shattered the Black-gay stereotype by coming out on national TV. "I am excited to be working with POCC,� Karamo said, referring to People Of Color in Crisis, which brings awareness to the fight against HIV/AIDS. "There is such a strong need for such organizations that are dedicated to combating this disease in our community.�
The College graduate, who also moonlights as a guest VJ on several MTV produced shows, recently joined forces with POCC in Brooklyn to help promote the annual Pride In The City 2006 affair. The festive FREE three day celebration, which includes a variety of live concerts, spoken word performances and a host of all-night parties, helps garner attention to battling HIV/AIDS by offering unconventional testing opportunities (on-site testing with rapid results will take place at most venues) for an at-risk population.
"Pride In The City is more then a party,� said Gary English, POCC Executive Director. "It's a collaboration of community-based organizations coming together to share resources, in a collective effort to combat the spread of HIV/AIDS.�
Since The Real World, Karamo, who currently lives in Los Angeles, has been keeping busy touring Colleges and Universities sharing his insight on diversity and Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues. He also started his own non-profit organization The Brave Heart Fund, which assists teens who have had the courage to come out. The organization provides financial support for those outed teens whose parents, schools and communities often abandon. "We want Brave Heart to be that shoulder that teens to lean on,� he said.
Pride in the City is New York City's premiere event celebrating the Black Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) community. The goal of the event is to present a festive affair that brings a unique testing service directly to the community, instead of requiring people to travel or visit a clinic or office. People of Color in Crisis, Inc., the hosting community-based organization, is hoping that the increased accessibility and ease of this initiative will help them reach their goal of testing 300 community members for HIV during this period. Testing will take place in the park, on the beach and at the Brooklyn Marriott
People of Color in Crisis, Inc., (POCC), was founded in 1988 by a group of Black gay men to provide support to each other in the face of the AIDS crisis. Since that time, the agency has developed a range of HIV prevention and care services. Throughout its history, POCC has continually assessed the changing needs of the community and responded with culturally and linguistically competent services. By providing a range of opportunities to access information and support, POCC serves approximately 4,000 individuals each year through programs and outreach interventions in Brooklyn, Manhattan and the Bronx.
