Many of you know I’ve been exploring Paleo eating, and for a long time I’ve tried to limit my unhealthy carbs (bleached flour, pasta, etc). This stuffing recipe, filled with sausage, roasted sweet potatoes, apples and almonds, will not leave you missing your traditional bread stuffing. This is the dish I’ve been hitting for leftovers until there were no more!Print
- 1 lb pork sausage
- 1 medium sweet onion, diced
- 2 cups diced celery
- 10 oz baby bella mushrooms (or your pick, cremini would be GREAT)
- 2 cups roasted sweet potato (dice and roast beforehand or during the cooking process- this will be added at the end)
- 2 red apples, diced
- 2 tablespoons fresh sage, chopped
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/8 cup raisins or low sugar craisins (optional)
- 1/8 cup chopped almonds (optional)
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees and roast your chopped sweet potato until soft, about 40 minutes. (I covered mine in coconut oil first, then roasted- this added great flavor).
Remove the pork from the casing and brown in a large pan. Remove the sausage from the pan, set aside but leave the gravy drippings.
Saute the onions, celery and mushrooms in the pan in the sausage drippings, getting the crispy bits off the bottom.
Pull out your medium/large sized casserole dish and pour the mixture in. Add the sweet potatoes, diced apples, craisins and almonds and fresh sage to the mixture. Next, add the two eggs and mix well.
Bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees until golden brown. Garnish with additional sprigs of sage.

Additional info for Operetta: A Theatrical History (Routledge Studies in Musical Genres)
By the time of the Revolution of 1789, the prominent opéras-comiques had ceased being comique. The Romantic movement contributed to this trend, with exotic and novellike plots being popular, making the music of the opéra-comique more and more like opéra. François Adrien Boïeldieu managed to be comic and romantic with his Ma Tante Aurore (1803), while the much later La Dame Blanche (1825) was nearly entirely romantic, after Walter Scott. It was La Dame Blanche (Opéra-Comique, 10 December 1825) that decisively changed opéra-comique, requiring virtuoso operatic voices singing against complicated, heavily charged orchestrations.
Like the vaudeville, the revue continued its ascent through the operetta period, well into this century. Parodies and burlesques of the latest operas, operettas, and plays were only to be expected in the latest revue. The development of the popular, nontheatrical, French song deserves (like the history of the opéra-comique) a tome to itself. By the end of the eighteenth century, the thensuburban cabarets in the fashionable public gardens were a popular setting for their performance. Visitors were regaled with comic, satirical, or sentimental songs, done in the chansonnier style that has persisted to this day.
Le Chalet (Opéra-Comique, 25 September 1834) had a libretto by Scribe and Mélesville set in Switzerland, with “the mountains of Appenzel” seen through the doors of the titular abode. Derived from a story by Goethe, the slight plot told of timid Daniel and his loved one, Bettly, whose chalet is besieged by a company of Swiss soldiers fighting for Austria, led by the swaggering Max. ” sing Max and his mercenaries as they pilfer poor Bettly’s supplies. Rousing military songs like this kept Le Chalet popular for years, one of Adam’s most enduring works.

Do Weight Loss Pills Actually Work?
If you’re trying to lose weight, you may be considering taking a weight loss supplement, such as a pill. But do weight loss pills actually work? Some can be helpful, but the key is picking the right one.
Ingredients to Look For
To determine if a weight loss pill works, check the ingredients. Here are some ingredients to look for:
- Glucomannan: fiber derived from tubers of the konjac plant and can help reduce appetite and cravings.
- Chromium: a mineral that helps to regulate insulin and control blood sugar levels, which can influence food cravings.
- Caffeine: boosts metabolic rate and fat burning.
- Orlistat: an ingredient found in prescription weight-loss products that prevents the absorption of dietary fat and encourages its excretion.
Are Weight Loss Pills Safe?
The safety of weight loss pills depends on the ingredients found in the product and your specific health. Weight loss pills are generally considered safe for healthy individuals who use them as directed and follow a calorie-controlled diet. However, it’s important to remember that not all weight loss supplements have been tested for safety or effectiveness, so talk to your doctor before you start using any.
Finding a Pill That Works for You
Finding a weight loss pill that works can be challenging, but there are options available that may help. Before taking a weight-loss supplement, do your research and make sure the ingredients are safe and effective. You should also speak with your doctor before starting any weight loss pills to ensure they’re right for you.
Ultimately, weight loss pills are just one of the many possible strategies for losing weight. A proper nutrition and exercise plan, as well as lifestyle changes, are also important for achieving your goals.

Vegan Experiment: 5 Days Free of Meat, Eggs, Dairy, Gluten, Sugar and Alcohol
If you’ve been following me for a while, you know I love to do mini challenges for myself and share the results with everyone. I do this for many reasons: personal growth, to inspire or motivate others and to learn more about a variety of healthy behaviors to better coach all my clients! This experiment was not different- 5 days free from meat, eggs, dairy, gluten, sugar, alcohol, and almost zero processed foods. Here’s a recap of my experience:
I attempted to begin this experiment as open to the experience as possible, however I did have a few thoughts prior to beginning to the experiment. I anticipated craving meat, being super hungry, getting tired of veggies, and that my digestion would get really backed up. To get started, I wrote myself a meal plan that looked something like this daily:
Daily foods included: chia seeds, unsweetened cashew milk, gluten free oats, vegan protein powder, spinach, broccoli, squash, carrots, pumpkin seeds, mushrooms, nutritional yeast, hemp seeds, lemon, ginger, cinnamon, fresh herbs, almond butter, rice, rice cakes, brown rice wraps, zucchini, tomatoes, coconut products (oil, unsweetened shredded) and avocado.
My macros prior to this vegan experiment were something like this daily:
Daily foods included all of the above, plus: chicken, fish, turkey, occasional lean beef, shrimp, eggs, whey protein powder, sprouted grain bread, and other whole grains like farro, freekeh and quinoa.
Here are my final stats:
Energy Level- Normal/High
Weight Change- Down 1.6 lbs
My energy and strength each day during the week was high. I normally have high energy and feel amazing, so I was happy that this didn’t change at all! My lifts in the gym and endurance at yoga and during my interval cardio sessions were impressive this week too. While this experiment was not done to lose weight, I did end up losing a total of 1.6 lbs during the 5 days- that’s just a bonus I guess. Now onto my digestion. This was my biggest area of concern. If you have ever felt bloated, constipated or have had any digestion issues you will now why I say this! I am so happy to report that my digestion improved during the experiment. I had normal bowel movements daily, sometimes multiple times a day (which normally does not happen.) I didn’t feel bloated or over full any of the days and I hardly ever felt hungry. All of this was such an amazing surprise!

Post a New Topic
Original post made
on Sep 29, 2011
I saw some guy that looked kind of creepy while I was riding my bike along the trail on the way home after work last night (Oct. 28th) about 5:45 pm. He matches the description except I don't remember what he was wearing and he may have been in his 20s. He was walking along the trail and fiddling with an ipod and ear buds. He looked like he might be high (or something), disheveled and homeless.
A guy flashed my late wife once. She gazed at the display, smirked, and said "It looks just like a penis, only smaller." The guy fled.
Sounds like your late wife was fantastic! Quick on her feet and composed in a surprising situation. I wish I could be that way.
I wonder where on the trail this happened - It would be nice to know just to be extra alert around that part of the trail
The homeless population in the upper reaches of the trail are using the creek for their home and the surrounding areas for their toilet.
I was horrified to find piles of used toilet paper and feces strewn about literally FEET from where kids at Landels School can play.
Another homeles latrine is in the foliage on the east side of the wooden cal trans bridge 9yes, that's what that smell is all the time)
A clean sweep of the homeless camps is needed along the creek and trail. I would love to show the authorities where the few I know of are.
I also recently saw a group of guys loitering and drinking around sunset near the Evelyn Avenue entrance to the trail. They probably got their alcohol at the convenience store just down the street.
They weren't bothering any cyclists or pedestrians at the time, but some trail users might feel uncomfortable with a group that size there in the evening.
Stevens Creek trail is long . Some areas is OK but some places looks bad , unclean , too dark at 4 pm (for a big trees o a lot of bushes). I think Homeless is a Social problem in US , nothing to do with trails .
For a Homeless , every public place looks a bedroom o restroom .My experince in differents Countries is , If you want a safe public areas , clean every week , remove bushes or forest ,Police need walk sometimes a week to check some areas . Mountain View is a beautiful city , but nothing is perfect in the Planet Earth ...because Human Beings living there...
You mean you actually want the police to get out of their cars and walk the trail? Their is probably something in their contract that prohibits that or kicks in $100 extra an hour. Otherwise, I'm all for a police state crackdown and clear cutting of the trail areas like you suggest.
Police in other towns use bicycles. Those would be faster than walking, and still trail-friendly.
Don't miss out on the discussion!

Mario + They Live
These Glasses Get You High But You Come Down Hard
11 by 17 Hand Signed & Numbered
Limited Edition Print
1 of only 100
For our second release of the day here's a Mario + They Live mashup. Because everybody knows that the thing Mario was missing was shotguns and an allegory for consumerism. Also of note the decal on the billboard is a nod to Fro Design Co's Mario Propaganda set which sold out a few months ago but will be re-released later today!


Warangal, Sep 18 (PTI) Harmilan Kaur Bains of Punjab scored a brace in the women’s middle distance, winning the 800m to add to her gold in the 1,500m at the 60th National Open Athletics Championships here Saturday.
Railways ” B Aishwarya also won the double in horizontal jumps, winning the triple jump less than 24 hours after winning the long jump title.
To her credit, she won both events with the best efforts of the year by an Indian jumper. Aishwarya, who won the long jump with a jump of 6.52m, edged Haryana’s Renu Grewal by 4cm to double his joy.
There was joy for Services as its athletes swept all the podium places in the men’s 800m and grueling 50km walk race to complete a hat-trick after sending out the three men’s 3,000m steeplechase medalists on Friday. .
Mohammed Afsal showed lasting power to beat Ankesh Chaudhary and Krishan Kumar in the 800m final.
There was more good news for the Services camp when pole vaulter S Siva improved his own competitive record, raising it to 5.12m from the 5.10m he cleared at Ranchi in October. 2019.
In the heptathlon competition, Akshatha shed some light on the 118-point gap on day one with Sowmiya Murugan (Railway) with a good show at the long jump pit, where she covered 5.88m .
Sowmiya Murugan regained the lead with an effort of 37.32m in the javelin throw, but the athlete from Karnataka won the 800m with 6.63 seconds to win the all-round crown with a margin of 46 points. .
Haryana’s Sonu Kumari could also have surpassed Sowmiya Murugan if she could have covered a slightly better distance with the javelin throw. She finished just four points from the railroad multipurpose.
Harmilan Kaur Bains, 23, used his stamina and speed to show Delhi runner KM Chanda a pair of clean heels for the fourth time in a row this year.
The Punjab athlete had won the 800-1500 double at the Interstate National Championships in Patiala in June and although Chanda used different tactics here, the Punjab runner was ready and came out on top.
In a fierce battle at the triple jump pit, it was Renu Grewal who led the competition halfway through with an effort of 13.42m in his third attempt to improve on his best effort of his own season of 13, 39 m.
Aishwarya, whose best in the first three jumps was 13.31m, responded with two jumps beyond that mark, registering 13.49m and 13.55m for a new personal best.
While the Haryana jumper made his last attempt, she was only able to reach 13.51m.
Earlier today, qualifying in the men’s triple jump saw Praveen Chithravel (Tamil Nadu) put in the best effort of his season, clearing 16.61m on his first attempt to lead all 12 qualifiers.
Abdulla Aboobacker and Karthik Unnikrishnan (both Services) were the others who crossed 16m.
2018 Asian Games champion Arpinder Singh advanced to the final as the final qualifier, with an effort of 15.51m, just 1cm longer than Anil Kumar Bhagirathi Sahoo of Maharashtra.
The Railways counter-demonstration against Delhi in the 4x400m mixed team relay was confirmed by the jury and it was reinstated in the silver medal position behind Tamil Nadu.
The Railways argued that its third stage rider Kiran Pahal was forced to cross the curb after being pushed by Pooja from Delhi shortly after leaving. Delhi returned to fourth place. PTI ATK AH

Dog and cat food packaging usually includes a picture of what is supposedly the product’s main ingredient. But none of them feature pictures of corn or poultry by-products such as offal meal, despite the fact that these are the two ingredients most eaten by Brazilian pets, according to two studies conducted at the University of São Paulo (USP). Agronomist Luiz Antônio Martinelli, from the Center for Nuclear Energy in Agriculture (CENA) at USP’s Piracicaba campus, says that beef or fish, considered high-quality food sources for cats, are almost entirely absent from industrialized food for these animals.
One of the studies analyzed 82 samples of 25 brands of dog food, both dry and wet, and found that on average, 60% of the nutritional content was of animal origin and 40% from vegetables. “The packaging gives the customer the impression the product contains high-quality ingredients, but actually, almost everything is reduced to corn and chicken,” says Martinelli. “This isn’t illegal, because Brazilian legislation on the matter is highly permissive.” The results of the study were published in the journal PeerJ on February 20 this year.
The conclusions of the second study, which examined the composition of 52 samples of 28 brands of cat food, were similar. Although the percentage of animal protein—essentially chicken—detected in cat food was higher on average than in processed dog food, the level of vegetable ingredients, again corn, as well as occasionally soybean, was still considered excessive by the researchers. Only 20% of the samples had vegetable contents lower than 10%, with most high in carbohydrates. “Dogs are flexible carnivores that through evolution have adapted to a diet that includes more vegetables,” says biologist Janaina Leite, a master’s student at CENA who analyzed the cat food. “But the cat is a more restricted carnivore, less able to digest carbohydrates. Some authors therefore recommend that carbohydrates should represent at most 10% of their diet.”
The packaging may show a steak while the food actually only contains beef flavoring, says Luiz Antônio Martinelli, from CENA-USP
Even in samples of wet cat food whose labels emphasized that they contained beef or fish, the level of animal ingredients never exceeded 25%, according to CENA’s analysis. The fear is that in the long term, the excessive carbohydrate from corn can lead to a higher incidence of diabetes and kidney problems in cats, a fact that has been supported by numerous studies. A paper containing detailed results of the cat food study has been submitted to a scientific journal and is awaiting approval.
To determine which ingredients are present in the food and in what quantity, Martinelli and his group identify the proportion of two stable carbon variants (isotopes) and two of nitrogen. Every plant group and animal protein type has a distinct isotopic signature. By analyzing the proportions of two carbon isotopes—the heavy and rare carbon 13 and the light and abundant carbon 12—it is possible to determine whether the food contains plants from group C3 (soybean, rice, and wheat) or C4 (corn). Vegetables are classified as C3 or C4 depending on their photosynthesis process. A combination of carbon dioxide and sunlight causes chemical reactions in plants that generate sugar molecules with either three or four carbon atoms (defined as C3 or C4, respectively).
A similar method can be used to determine which types of meat the food contains (beef, pork, chicken, or fish), but based on two different forms of nitrogen: the rarer nitrogen 15 and the more common nitrogen 14. “Isotope analysis is a recognized method of studying the composition of food and beverages, as well as the dietary profile of populations,” says Martinelli, who has already used this approach to study wines, beers, and soy sauce.
Because owners care so much for their pets, they place a greater value on products with ingredients they consider high quality. According to Martinelli’s group, even the premium, more expensive, and supposedly better quality pet foods that are associated with beef or fish ingredients are usually composed primarily of chicken and corn, which are cheaper in Brazil. “Current legislation suggests that ingredients should be listed on the label in descending order, from the most abundant to the least, but this is only a recommendation,” says Leonardo Galera, a PhD student at CENA and lead author of the dog food article. The lack of a mandatory legal directive on the issue allows companies to get away with misleading advertising, say the authors of the paper. “Pet food products can show a picture of a steak on the packaging even if they only contain meat flavoring and no real meat,” comments Galera. There is no consensus on the ideal amount of carbohydrate that cats can and should eat.
According to the Brazilian Pet Industry Association (ABINPET), all of its affiliated brands strictly follow Brazilian legislation and comply with standards agreed by the veterinary community. The combination of inputs used in Brazilian pet food follows the guidelines established by international studies, says the leader of the organization. “It is true that chicken is the most common animal protein and corn is the most used vegetable,” ABINPET president José Edson Galvão de França said in a statement. “Industrialized food for dogs and cats should contain between 30% and 60% animal ingredients and 40% to 57% vegetables. The remaining 3–10% should be composed of minerals, vitamins, or additives.”
The current labeling rules for pet food in Brazil are established through Ministry of Agriculture Regulation 30, which came into force on August 5, 2009. The document, which has been amended several times, requires only that manufacturers specify basic “qualitative” information about the ingredients of a product, with no need to mention quantities. “Regarding labeling, manufacturers are obligated to clearly inform consumers of what ingredients are contained in each product,” says França. “Regarding packaging and marketing, as long as they follow the law and good practices, manufacturers are allowed to draw attention to the unique aspects of their product and to decide how to communicate them to the consumer.” Article 43 of the regulation states that photos and descriptions on product packaging should not “be misleading, wrong, confusing, or deceiving, even by omission,” with respect to composition and quality.
The Brazilian pet food market is worth about R$20 billion per year
The CENA researchers did not disclose the names of the brands they analyzed. The initial objective of the study was to obtain an overview of the products on the market in Brazil, a country with about 130 million pets, including dogs, cats, fish, and birds. However, they are now collecting a wider sample of the products available in the sector, which is worth more than R$20 billion per year, in order to conduct individual brand analyses in the future. They also plan to test how easily different pet foods are digested. “It is no good a pet food containing a certain ingredient of animal origin if this ingredient is difficult to digest,” says agronomist Adibe Luiz Abdalla Filho, another author of the study, who is studying a PhD at CENA.

Ebonyi govt pledges to promote breastfeeding, provides crèches, jingles
The Ebonyi Government has pledged to do everything possible to encourage breastfeeding among young mothers in the state to improve child and maternal survival.
The Commissioner for Health in Ebonyi, Dr Daniel Umezurike disclosed this on Tuesday during a press briefing to mark 2020 World Breastfeeding Week in Abakaliki.
Umezurike revealed that the state government considered the feeding critical by creating public awareness campaigns and jingles with support from partners to advocate breastfeeding in the state.
The commissioner also disclosed that civil servants who were nursing mothers in the state had been observing four months paid maternity leave to encourage breastfeeding.
He said that wife of the Governor, Mrs Rachael Umahi had established creches in the women development centre and strategic locations to enhance appropriate feeding.
“This is for mother to get close to their children, even at work so that they can breastfeed intermittently.
He added that they were also allowed after the leave resumption to close at mid-day to enable them return home to their babies to feed them appropriately.
“Breastfeeding is most important way of improving child and maternal survival. We take this very seriously.
“We do all these to encourage, protect and support breastfeeding in the state,” Umezurike said.
According to him, malnutrition is a challenge that reduces production of breast milk, when nursing mother are not properly fed.
Umezurike added that such families to include the downtrodden and widows were supported by Mrs Umahi to ensure family health were protected in the state.
He further stated that COVID-19 pandemic had affected activities, food production, consumption practices degrading land and ecosystems among others, thus every steps taken across life cycle to mitigate environmental degradation and climate crisis.
He stated that the pandemic had demonstrated that the global world interdepend and dependent on same planet, thus needs a healthy planet with support of breastfeeding.
Meanwhile, the Commissioner disclosed current situation report of COVID-19 in the state, saying that total confirmed cases is 871, deaths 25, discharged 804 and active cases is 36.
“We have three isolation centers and some on home isolation,” Umezurike said.
The Baby Friendly Initiative Coordinator in the ministry of Health, Mrs Beatrice Ojinkama described breastfeeding as foundation of live.
Ojinkama gave advantages of initiating breastfeeding to include serving as first immunization for a child to survive, help remove reserved placenta, help in family planning among others processes.
She called on the media to assist partners and the ministry in achieving the scheme.

Schools resumption: We are ready for students — NAPPS
The National Association of Proprietors of Private Schools (NAPPS), Amuwo Odofin Chapter, Lagos, says its members are ready for resumption of schools for students in exit classes.
NAPPS was reacting to the Federal Government’s directive that schools nationwide be reopened on Aug. 4 to give students in exit classes time to prepare for the West African Examination Council (WAEC) billed for Aug. 17.
The Chairperson of the Association, Mrs Ajoke Adeyemi, told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Lagos that member schools have complied with all requirements for reopening.
Adeyemi, who is also the proprietor of Foresight Schools in FESTAC Town, said the schools had fumigated their premises thenselves as the local governments were not forthcoming in that direction.
She said: “We invited government approved fumigators and to the best of my knowledge, all schools under NAPPS, Amuwo Odofin have been fumigated.
“The Lagos State NAPPS said we should go round and inspect our schools and see whether they have complied in readiness for reopening, which we did last week Monday and Tuesday.
“We have put in place the infrared thermometers and the touch-less hand-washing and sanitising units provided by the association.
“We have provided soap, water and placed signages at strategic locations to reinforce the guidelines”.
Adeyemi added that sickbays had also been set up like in isolation centres in accordance with the guidelines for reopening of schools.
She said the arrangements made by schools was adequate to accommodate not only the senior students but the junior ones as well.
Speaking on the preparation of her school, Adeyemi said students and staff had been directed to use face shields in addition to the face masks.
“We know it is not easy for children to put on their face masks for the eight hours they will stay in school.
“We considered the students that are asthmatic also. It might not augur well for those children to put on face mask for three to eight hours in the classroom.
“Even the teachers, we provided face shields for them to wear while teaching.
“It won’t be easy for them teaching with the face masks on. The children may not even hear them clearly,” she said.
Adeyemi noted that there would not be co-curricular activities such as sports or assembly for the safety of both students and staff.
A check of the schools by NAN correspondent revealed that wash hand bowls , touch-less and manual, soap, water, hand sanitisers and infrared thermometers were provided for both students and staff.

Huduga Hudugi (Music review), Kannada – Joshua Sridhar & Indrajit Lankesh
Danthada bombena has everything going for it – a instantly catchy, perfectly arranged pop’ish tune and Karthik’s dependable vocals, while Tunta tunti, with its toned down sound works better than the remix’ish title song. But, Illeana is run-of-the-mill and falls flat, however much Joshua tries to build into it with rap bits and enticing sounds. Indrajit Lankesh tries to compose Saathiya…and that includes adding many instruments and making Sunidhi sing an inane Hindi’ish tune. His other song, Usire ninna is no different; but instead of Hindi, Lankesh tries the Mano Murthy sound. Joshua Sridhar barely manages to save Huduga Hudugi.

Due to the hot, dry conditions that exist and are forecasted to continue the Municipal District of Taber has issued a Fire Ban on all open fires within its municipal boundaries.
Under the Fire Ban, all active fire permits are suspended. No new permits will be issued until further notice.
Fires that are contained in IRRIGATED and SUPERVISED parks, campgrounds and backyards are exempt from the Ban.
The Municipal District of Taber will continue to review this situation and consider changes to the Ban if conditions warrant it. There is no desire to have the Ban in place for any longer than necessary - the goal is to protect persons, and property, and to reduce excess costs to ratepayers.

Each year, when Frank Halper is faced with the state tax bill for his accounting business in Providence, R.I., he has a choice.
He can write a check for the amount owed by his company or, as part of a state tax credit program, he can send a check to a foundation that provides tuition scholarships to students at Providence’s two Jewish day schools. His tax bill will be credited for 90 percent of the contribution.
For the last five years or so, his firm has opted for the latter.
“We’re in favor of supporting these schools,” Halper said. “We feel Jewish education is the future of the Jewish people.”
Tax credit programs are among the growing number of ways that private Jewish day schools and yeshivas nationwide are collecting hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer dollars annually. The money is helping to defray operating costs, provide teacher training, assist students with tuition bills and enhance educational offerings.
A decade ago, few Jewish schools were aggressive about pursuing federal and state funding. But as day school tuition rates have climbed, outpacing inflation and the ability of recession-weary parents to pay, schools have become much more effective not only at accessing government money but in lobbying state government for more.
“The financial crisis of 2008 had a huge effect on tuition and affordability — I think that was really the game changer,” said Darcy Hirsh, director of day school advocacy at UJA-Federation of New York, which in October 2011 became the first federation in the country to create a position for day school advocacy. “Families that were able to afford day school are no longer able, and schools’ financial aid has grown tremendously over the last five years.”
The Haredi Agudath Israel of America has long taken the lead in lobbying for government aid for Jewish schools. Two years ago it was joined by the Orthodox Union, which began hiring political directors in a half-dozen states to organize Jewish schools and lobby legislators.
In New York, the state with the largest day school population, Agudath Israel and the OU have been joined in their lobbying efforts by an unusual coalition that includes UJA, the Sephardic Community Federation, the Jewish Education Project and Catholic groups.
While media attention has focused on the alleged abuse of government funding programs by Jewish schools, suspect allocations represent just a trickle of the government funding flowing to Jewish schools.
The methods used by private schools to get government money differ from state to state and range from the complex to the Byzantine.
In Rhode Island, the tuition scholarship tax credit, which is available to families with incomes of less than the federal poverty level, is capped at $1 million statewide and open only to corporate donors. The credit is calculated at 75 percent for a single year and 90 percent if they donate for two, up to a maximum of $100,000 annually. The statewide cap is usually reached annually on July 1, the first day applications may be submitted.
In Florida, a similar program last year was capped at $229 million.
In New York, a lobbying effort two years ago resulted in legislation extending an exemption from a transportation payroll tax of 0.34 percent to private and religious schools — a seemingly small change, but one that saved an estimated $8 million per year.
“Figuring out how to do better at this is going to be one of the big keys to the whole tuition crisis,” said Rabbi Binyamin Krauss, principal of SAR Academy, a large Jewish day school in Riverdale, NY, where tuition and fees can run as high as $30,800 a year. “We’re looking to provide a quality education, Jewish and secular, and I think the solution will have to be to increase revenues. Government funding is going to need to be a major piece.”

Great news! Photographer Jordan Matter & the Miami City Ballet will be joining us at SPECTRUM Miami for a live photoshoot during the show (time and date TBA). No doubt you’ve seen images from Matter’s “Dancers Among Us” series in your Facebook newsfeed. “Breathtaking photos to free your imagination” is how ABC News’ Diane Sawyer described them, and we couldn’t agree more.
Here’s a clip of Jordan in action, so you have some idea of the awesomeness you’ll experience at the show during the shoot:
Jordan’s visit to SPECTRUM Miami comes on the heels of a recent trip to Paris (see his blog post) and, before that, a jaunt to Seoul, South Korea, for his first solo exhibition in Asia at the Savina Museum of Contemporary Art (read about it here). It’s been a big year for Jordan, and we’re thrilled he’s ending it with us in warm, sunny Miami.

“You…!” Nero Alstreim’s phrase increasingly turned out to be exasperated that he couldn’t support but influx his palm, “Okay! For anybody who is a honest individual, I acknowledge your interaction.h.i.+p with my little princess!”
Nero Alstreim was only on the verge of get a advance when his eye concept decreased, “Wives!?”
“I’m sorry, father, but that was why I could garner a response from him and informed you all never to provide the forfeit. Not surprisingly, Davis never acquired any intention to wipe out us. He just declared that he would leave behind us here whenever we produced the wrong determination, but I still couldn’t help but disclose the solution. Even then, he didn’t scold me…” Niera’s sound trembled, but she experimented with her advisable to get her objective across.
“That…” Nero Alstreim turned out to be flabbergasted that he or she stuttered, “T-That We haven’t made a decision yet!”
“Certainly, but ensure it is fast. Some time limit’s a similar…”
He investigated Davis and demonstrated him the message, resulting in Davis to smilingly shrug, “Certain, as long as you don’t convey to about Lavish Elder Elise Alstreim in prison, you may publish a single thing.”
Davis narrowed his eyes, sensing that Ezekiel Alstreim was on his in the past from checking out the Infernal Lightning Palace Area. It appears like he had already identified that it was safe to get in.
Niera also looked more joyful she happened to run off to her daddy and presented his arms as she shook them.
Nero Alstreim couldn’t assist but sense a little more trusting now.
“Niera, your father is right.” Davis couldn’t guide but giggle, “Mankind are sometimes revolting than any weird animals that one could see nowadays simply because the things that they might do to get what they desire have no restrictions…”
‘He didn’t speak about it for making himself noise even more convincing…?’
“I’m sorry, daddy, but that had been why I could garner a solution from him and stated all to never deliver the give up. Not surprisingly, Davis never possessed any intention to destroy us. He just claimed that he would keep us here when we built the incorrect final decision, although i still couldn’t support but uncover the perfect solution. Even so, he didn’t scold me…” Niera’s tone of voice trembled, but she tried out her wise to get her motive throughout.
“Niera, your mommy is downstairs during my space, cultivating. Your grandaddy should keep returning quickly, so ensure that you give both of these characters in their eyes and make clear oneself.”
“How are we about to go across this Lightning Seas? Don’t show that it’s throughout the soil? Since if that is the case, we are going to get astonished to fatality regardless…”
Was there any junior who commanded him in this way? But realizing that the horrifying wolf was only a stride far from behind him, he couldn’t support but wisen up and not just aggravate the both of them. For all those he was aware, his mind may very well be severed with one swing of the claws, in which he wasn’t ridiculous ample to check if this could do that because he recognized that this was the full reason behind exterminating the Infernal Super Palace’s vermin.
“That…” Nero Alstreim grew to be flabbergasted that he or she stuttered, “T-That I haven’t made a decision but!”
‘Fine, I’ll consider trusting in the thoughts exactly like my little girl for after…’
“How perceptive…” Davis searched back and held his smile, “Now are you arriving or what? I don’t have time to spend while i can’t hold out to check out my wives.”
“In such a case, I wanted you for that idea and belief you placed into me but am I resting or maybe not? Ahaha…” He laughingly shook his go, “You wouldn’t know before you observe the other part for your own benefit.”
“Basically If I were forced to say, on that day after i mentioned that he rejected me, that has been both a lay and simple truth mainly because, the simple truth is, I needed to turn into his gal on that day by sedating him the aphrodisiac I stole through your space…” Niera’s phrase blushed in embarrassment as she shut her eyeballs and confessed, “But he didn’t make the most of me and sent me absent! I chose to consider in him for this reason alone!”
He looked over Davis in dilemma and asked yourself how this younger years managed to resist this type of enticement. Also, he was proud of his daughter’s elegance that they understood that she would s.h.i.+ne just like a treasure in the Alstreim Friends and family but to think that he didn’t take full advantage of her.
“If I simply had to say, that day as i stated that he declined me, that had been both a lay and reality mainly because, actually, I wanted to start to be his lady that day by sedating him the aphrodisiac I stole out of your bedroom…” Niera’s concept blushed in shame as she closed up her view and confessed, “But he didn’t take advantage of me and forwarded me aside! I decided to imagine in him for that reason alone!”
“Don’t perspiration it. Niera already understands…” Davis chuckled and entered into the Lightning Ocean, the strands of super automatically dispersing out from him as they quite simply were actually scared of him.

“You…!” Nero Alstreim’s term increasingly became exasperated which he couldn’t help but influx his palm, “High-quality! For anybody who is a honest human being, I accept your loved ones.h.i.+p with my girl!”
Nero Alstreim shook his head, “I’d like to see myself whether your words are genuine or otherwise not.

Carter: Queen for a Day (April 7th)
Queen for April 7th
I got a text from my favorite guitarist, Brian Harris of Dallas’ Queen for a Day, earlier this week that his Queen cover band will be playing one final show—the band’s last show ever—at the Iron Horse Pub on April 7th. The night before that the group will be playing the large room at House of Blues. The group is unbelievably popular in Wichita Falls having played the Pub any number of times along with Hotter’N Hell and also the Dutch queen’s birthday party at Sheppard Air Force Base. I think the only major show these guys haven’t played was FallsFest and I promise you they would have rocked that as well. It’s amazing they will play here gain, and I think that it’s a must see show.
The reason this is Queen for a Day’s last show is because the singer, Greg, has a gig with a west coast Queen cover group. But as a friend of mine commented why would you leave the best Queen cover band ever to play in another one? Shame that.
I went by The Spot on Thursday and watched about an hour and a half of the venue’s now once a month open mic. You cannot argue with success as the more limited open mics are drawing better than ever. But, I sort of miss getting to hang out at local venues and get to listen to new performers. The musicians enjoyed the attention and the crowd was there. I guess I can wait until the first Thursday in March to check out the next one.
On March 3, area band Brother Sharp will play for a marathon (www.runtheexpress.com) benefitting the area Xpress Soccer Club, and they will be playing starting at 8 a.m. in the morning. It’s a great cause, obviously and it should be a lot of fin if you enjoy running and stuff. But wow, can you imagine local rockers waking up, getting there and setting up to play at 8 a.m. Sweet.
I am writing a story on Radio Republic who will be playing at the Pub on Feb 17 with the Tejas Brothers—a really good regional band from Fort Worth with a drummer from Wichita Falls. It will be an interesting combination of music, and the guys from Radio Republic can clearly play. Hint: the band has some major former members from 10 Cent Pistol.
The Lemonheads will be playing at The Prophet Bar in Dallas on Thursday February 9 in Deep Ellum. Check it out, the band is playing “It’s a Shame about Ray,” and that is cool. Motorhead plays the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas on March 1. And Neon Indian plays the Granada Theater in Dallas on Tuesday, March 13. All three shows should be amazing.
Finally, there is an interesting local trend around where it seems like everyone is playing in more than one band. I wrote about that last week re: drummers, but it would appear that other musicians are finding a variety of bands to play in. if that gets us some new music, I am looking to hearing some new bands. Still, it’s been my experience living in Dallas and Seattle that ‘rock’ musicians who are serious tend to put all of their eggs in one basket. There are exceptions, of course, but I guess we shall see. Let’s hope that bands maintain some diversity because musicians want to expand their palettes and song selections.

Why college is not worth the money?
People who argue that college is not worth it contend that the debt from college loans is too high and delays graduates from saving for retirement, buying a house, or getting married.
They say many successful people never graduated from college and that many jobs, especially trades jobs, do not require college degrees..
Why education is a waste of time and money?
In The Case Against Education: Why the Education System is a Waste of Time and Money, Bryan Caplan argues that students spend too much time in formal education, which serves less to enhance skills and understanding that to ‘signal’ one’s value to future employers.
Is college harder than work?
Real world jobs are definitely easier than college, especially for those with time management issues. What’s harder is that you’re now on your own having to survive and depending on your job you may not have as much free time as you did in college or high school.
Are degrees useless?
Today, almost 60% of all jobs in the US require a higher education. Your new bachelor’s degree is becoming increasingly worthless as more and more people graduate from college, as jobs that used to need only a bachelor’s degree now prefer master’s degrees.
Is college really worth?
For most students, experts say it remains financially worth it to go to college, despite rising tuition and opportunity costs in relation to increasing wages for workers holding only a high school diploma. … But not all college graduates experience these salary benefits.
Is college worth the time and money?
According to the Federal Reserve, college is worth it… Yes, college tuition is rising. … However, research from the Federal Reserve says that college is still a good investment. A college degree leads to premium earnings in the labor market compared to those without a college degree.
Is higher education a waste of time?
For many people, college can be a waste of time and money. Too many people are going to college because they believe a great American myth: college is for everyone and happiness and wealth depend on a college degree. … And students seeking a college education need more than high IQ numbers.
Can you be successful without college?
Yes, it’s possible to succeed without a college degree. But with so many programs designed to take you from having no experience in a field to being highly-skilled and job-market ready, having a college degree offers a clear advantage. Most of us aren’t Steve Jobs.
Why you should not go to college?
Many high school students go to college because it’s expected of them, but that isn’t a good reason to go. … College is expensive, and it doesn’t make sense to spend money on a college degree if you are unsure of your path. You also risk taking extra time to finish your degree if you switch your major multiple times.
Is it true that college isn’t for everyone?
Not everyone is college material as well. Over 54 percent of Americans who enroll in college eventually drop out. … The time spent in college earning a degree can often be put to better use getting job experience. There are plenty of jobs out there that do not require a college degree.
What are the cons of not going to college?
1. You earn money instead of spending. If you are not fully sponsored, you are going to cost your family a lot of money. You will need money for tuition, food, lodging, books, entertainment and many more expenses.
Is going to college worth it in 2020?
Is A Degree Worth the Debt? In 2020, the answer isn’t a cut and dry “yes.” Tuition costs are swelling. Student loans and consumer debts loom heavily over grads for decades. A degree no longer equals long-term wealth, or even a good job.

Producer: Cantina TraminGrape Varieties: 100% Pinot NoirOptimum Drinking: Within 5 yearsWine Style: Juicy mid weight redAlcohol by Volume: 13%Closure: Natural CorkCountry: Italian
Cantina Tramin was founded in 1898 and has 310 member winegrowers who follow its strict directives on the cultivation of the vines. The vineyards are an integral part of the enchanting and picturesque landscape of the Alto-Adige region of Northern Italy and cover 260 hectares situated on the sunny slopes of the region at altitudes ranging from 250 to 850 metres above sea level. In 2011, Cantina Tramin gained the "Double Stella" award. This is given to a winery for achieving the prestigious "3 Bicchieri" 20 times and is awarded by the Gambero Rosso.
Mild temperatures in spring led to early bud break. Favourable conditions in May further accelerated the development of the vegetation. Warm and humid weather during July and August resulted in good physiological development of the vines. Autumn brought about considerable fluctuations in temperature, encouraging a long phase of maturation, helping to concentrate the flavours in the berries. The white wines are very well balanced, with beautiful fruit, fine acidity and juicy freshness.
The grapes used for this wine come from the Südtirol, in the Alto Adige DOC. The vineyards are situated at altitudes of between 350 and 450 metres above sea level and are planted in soils which are made up of gravel and calcareous clay. The vines yield 55 hectolitres per hectare. The combination of soils and abundant sunshine give this wine a unique taste and detail.
The grapes were macerated at controlled temperatures of 26°C with daily stirring and punching down of the cap in order to increase the levels of extraction from the grape skins. Fermentation and ageing took place in a combination of French barriques, oak casks and stainless steel vats.
A fresh, fruity wine with wild berry fruit aromas underpinned by light mountain herbs. On the palate it shows lovely balance and is framed by a good tannic structure through to an elegant finish.
A perfect partner to poultry dishes or light red meats.
Pinot Noir 100%

The difference between data, information, knowledge and wisdom yesterday i had a sort of aha-erlebnis while listening to a talk and ended up with my own kind of taxonomy and of course, somebody way smarter than me already made this way before me. First things first: data vs information there’s a really simple way to understand the difference between data and information when we understand the primary function of the item we are looking at, we quickly see the distinction between the two. Data: passive and inert outside the presence of knowledge, everything is data raw data, or summaries of data, including charts and graphs, commonly called information, isn’t information if not actively informing anything. I was taught that information is useful data the point is there are lots of data (plural of datum) everywhere, and most of the data will not be useful to a decision maker only after the data have been sorted and the relevant portions presented to a decision maker will the data become information.
Many people hear the words “data” and “information”, and think the terms can be used interchangeably in fact, data and information aren’t the same at all, there is a distinct difference between the two words. I usually think of it this way: while both information and data are types of knowledge, to me, information is knowledge in its very basic form, while data is a special type of information.

In World Gone Sour, you take on the role of misfortunate Sour Patch Kids. Their goal is to get inside the belly of humans. There isn’t really much to it, but it does work well in the end. World Gone Sour is in many ways a glorified advertisement, but is also a surprisingly fun game.
Let’s see what’s HOT and NOT in our review of World Gone Sour.
While the game isn’t incredibly lengthy, it still provides a fair amount of time to have fun in its casual environment. The game follows suit of the “first sour, then sweet” motto in multiple ways. One of the most obvious and funny aspects is having fellow Sour Patch Kids to follow and help you while strolling throughout your travels. Though they have done nothing negative towards you, they often end up getting sacrificed in various ways regardless. From the quirky boss fights scattered throughout levels to bashing in various enemies, the game packs a punch in the “fun” category.
World Gone Sour surely isn’t introducing groundbreaking graphics to the downloadable game platform, but it also hasn’t taken a step back. Everything in the game looks detailed to the point where it all feels believable enough. From areas such as freezers to food joints to movie theaters, all have that sort of eerie feeling that will accompany you. The game even has a good attention to detail with small things like gum on the floors that your Sour Patch Kid can become stuck in, which is somewhat refreshing amongst downloadable games. Sure, there aren’t sugar specs falling from your Sour Patch Kid whenever you jump or get hit, but the visuals overall aren’t bad.
As you play throughout the game, there is a commentator of sorts. Though his main purpose seems to be guiding you through levels and teaching you new techniques, he seems to stray from this role at times. His comments may be very simple, or not so much. Though they aren’t usually all that appropriate, they are still quite funny. Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat.
There isn’t a whole lot to say about the sound in the game as it usually isn’t a noticeable trait, but that doesn’t mean that it’s bad. While it is often not thought about in this game, the music, sound effects and overall audio are pretty well done. For those who enjoy the rap genre, the game even includes a brief sampled beat of Method Man’s aptly named World Gone Sour song. Now, transversely for those who do not, the track only plays during one rather short level in the game.
These aren’t totally unbearable, but they are simply longer than the average loading screen time, in my experience. The great thing about this not is that load times aren’t all that common throughout World Gone Sour. Unless I missed something, load screens were only at the beginning or ending of levels.
The controls in the game are very easy to grasp and pull off, though at times don’t work as you’d hope. Performing actions such as more intricate jumping can require more spot on timing rather than just tapping jump to wall jump. This is not a significant NOT for this game, but I thought it should still be noted as such.
World Gone Sour is a uniquely enjoyable platformer that is capable of entertaining just about anyone. Its added two-player couch co-op adds to the fun of the game by giving another player the opportunity to jump into this World Gone Sour, which is great. For the time that the game does run, it is quite fun, but that doesn’t mean it is too lengthy. Even though I think that the game should have followed in the footsteps of Doritos Crash Course by being free, I still had a good time playing it. While World Gone Sour has its usually minor flaws, they are pretty well overshadowed by the the high level of entertainment contained in the game. For those willing to shell out the fairly low price of 400 MSP or $5, I would recommend the game. Again, be warned that the game is mainly just a big advertisement for Sour Patch Kids rolled into a downloadable game, but if you’re not too concerned, then go for it.
[Editor’s Note: World Gone Sour was reviewed on the Xbox 360 platform. The game was provided to us by the publisher for review purposes.]World Gone Sour Review,


ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers infielder Ian Kinsler said he expressed a desire to stay at second base rather than move to first base to club officials in a meeting last month, but didn't draw "a line in the sand" about it.
He said he was excited to learn this week that he'd be remaining at second, a position he's had since 2006, and is motivated to bounce back after struggling in 2012.
"Last year was a bad year, but I don't think I'm on a decline," Kinsler said. "You have a bad year and all of a sudden you're a terrible baseball player? I think over seven years I've been pretty successful. I want to bounce back. It's motivating. You don't want to have a bad year to motivate yourself, but when it happens, you're motivated."
General manager Jon Daniels announced Monday that the club was planning on starting the season with Kinsler at second and Mitch Moreland at first, despite broaching the idea of moving Kinsler to first base earlier in the offseason. The move would have created a spot for top prospect Jurickson Profar to play every day in the big leagues. Profar will likely start the season in Triple-A Round Rock. Kinsler said he's expecting to take all of his ground balls at second base in spring training.
Kinsler said early last month that he was willing to move positions if needed. But in a 4½-hour meeting with a few Rangers officials and Kinsler's agent, Jay Franklin, prior to Christmas, Kinsler talked about wanting to stay at second.
"We just talked about different scenarios and where the club was headed and how Ian was feeling," Franklin said. "It was a very good meeting."
Kinsler said that the more he thought about things, the more he felt he could help the club at second base.
"Initially, it's I don't want to be this resistance to maybe something that is bigger than me or someone sees something from the outside that I don't see," Kinsler said. "I didn't want to be that resistance at all.
"Second base is where I want to play and I still feel I have a lot to give this team in that position. It's nice that I'm at a position where I think I'll help us win."
Kinsler, 30, is coming off disappointing 2012 season. He batted .256 in the leadoff spot and had a .326 on-base percentage, his lowest as a professional. Kinsler had 19 home runs (13 fewer than 2011) and 21 stolen bases (nine fewer than 2011). He also committed 18 errors, which tied a career-high.
An ankle injury, which required offseason surgery prior to the 2012 campaign, bothered him until July and Kinsler admitted that it hurt his ability on the bases. He says his ankle feels good and he's working both on his speed and his swing this offseason.
"Last year obviously wasn't my best year," Kinsler said. "I don't think that changes the way I work. I'm preparing to have the best season I can possibly have. You look on the back of anyone's baseball card and there's always a bad year. My goal now is to rebound and have an MVP-caliber season I'm expected to have."
Kinsler has been working out with Craig Gentry and said having another set of eyes from a teammate is helpful in the cages as he prepares for spring training. Kinsler said he feels he can be better at the plate, on the bases and in the field.
He said he hasn't heard from World Baseball Classic officials, so he doesn't expect to play in the event. That means he'd be with the Rangers for all of spring training.
Manager Ron Washington said this week that his plan is for Kinsler to remain the club's leadoff hitter. Kinsler has been the primary leadoff hitter four of the last five seasons.
