Mostly full house at Via Linda Senior Center to hear about #Scottsdale district #schoolcuts. I'll be live tweeting questions, responses
Last week's forum on #Scottsdale school budget cuts drew few good ideas. There's another 6 tonight, Via Linda Center. azcentral.com/community/scot…
#Scottsdale school district forum wraps up. Lots of questions. Not many recommendations on cuts. More work ahead. #schoolcuts
#Scottsdale businessman & Coronado grad: 'I would never open a biz with restrictions that schools have. I wouldn't want your job.'
#Scottsdale #ingleside 7th-grader tells admin her band director got layoff notice. 'Older teachers could retire,' she says #schoolcuts
#Scottsdale school bd president Pam Kirby: Nov. ballot could have many initiatives with city, schools. There could be confusion.
#Scottsdale parent: many voted no on override because we didn't see money from sales tax we voted yes for. 'I don't know what to believe'
#scottsdale parent: what is district doing to educate about lack of state funding? Answer: grass-roots campaigns at schools #schoolcuts
#Scottsdale admin asked about state funding. School bd member Barbara Perleberg: 'We're 49th. They give us less than Mississippi'
#Scottsdale school bd member Denny Brown: 'It's about accountability. We're an A district.' #schoolcuts
#Scottsdale revenue idea: sell advertising on roofs of schools in flight paths. Answer: hmmm. Not sure if any schools are in the paths
#Scottsdale #schoolcuts forum: why do admin get paid so much more? Answer: per-day rates are similar
#scottsdale supt describing overrides. Teacher told me: 'We have to keep asking for money because the money keeps expiring.' #schoolcuts
#Scottsdale supt asked if district will consolidate underutilized schools. 'We're looking at demographics,' he says. Rebuild smaller.
#Scottsdale senior citizen: 'Since when do principals have 2 or 3 assistants? The teachers are the ones who can make a difference.'
More revenue ideas: Any limit to how much parent groups can raise? Nope, bring it on, says supt. But hiring w/ gifts is risky. #Scottsdale
Revenue-generating idea for #Scottsdale schools: Sell parking passes to sophomores. Answer: high school lots are already overflowing
Now it gets interesting(?)

In franchise history, #Bulls are 22-18 in Game 5s (8-4 when leading 3-1). When up 3-1, Bulls have never lost a series (12-0). #gamenotes
At halftime, the #Nets lead the @chicagobulls 52-44 behind 17 points from Brook Lopez and 8 pts and 4 rebs from @KrisHumphries. #NETSvBULLS
Lets go #nets ... Keep the faith
The thing about this @brooklynnets vs. @chicagobulls game is, I wouldn't watch a single game in a @miamiheat vs. #Nets series @nbaontnt
#Nets appear to me to be wearing down the bulls. Would be nice to rest the starters a little here.
This is looking like another 100-point game for maybe both teams. Hard to believe. #Nets
Evans is the only one fighting. Throwing elbows, scraping and clawing. Too bad the rest of the team shows no energy. #nets

What do you remember about World Expo 88? Share your thoughts and photos #expo88
Storified by Bayside Bulletin · Mon, Apr 29 2013 18:14:00
I remember talking to Knight rider as a child.
My favourite parts were the south pacific area and the nightly laser concert! I still remember the Yello song "Oh yeah........ the moon ..is beautiful..... the sun ....even more beautiful....." :)
World Expo 88, also known as Expo '88, was a World's Fair held in Brisbane, the state capital of Queensland, Australia, during a six-month period between Saturday, 30 April 1988 and Sunday, 30 October 1988. The theme of the Expo was "Leisure in the Age of Technology", and the mascot for the Expo was an Australian platypus named Expo Oz.[1]
The A$625 million fair was the largest event of the 1988 Bicentennial celebrations of the European settlement of Australia.[2] Expo 88 attracted more than 15,760,000 visitors who bought tickets worth A$175 million.[3] The event achieved both its economic aims and very good attendances, was successfully used to promote Queensland as a tourist destination and it spurred a major re-development at the South Brisbane site.[4] The core feature of the site were the international pavilions.[3] Many of the exposition's sculptures and buildings were retained by various entities around the state and are still in use or on display decades later. - Source Wikipedia
We have so many wonderful memories of EXPO 88 with family and friends we spent there with our pass.
Crowds of people at City Hall this morning lining up to see @MuseumofBris's exhibition 'Light Fantastic: #Expo88 Rewired' #BrisbaneStories
@612brisbane loving this trip down memory lane, what a great time it was for brissie and qld #expo88
I remember being in the opening parade playing drums in the marching band and doing the daily parade at lunchtime and performing in the piazza. Can't believe it was 25 years ago. Makes me feel old lol :)
I remember my parents leaving us at home most of the time! We went a couple of times, maybe.
I worked at Expo for 9 months, from start to finish.. Rollercoaster rides in Expo Park before we started work.. Going to Jimmy Barnes and John Farnham rehearsals with a handful of staff . Loved it all...
I still have my season ticket. I would go up to Brisbane with my husband and he would go to work and I would walk across the bridge to Expo 88 and he would join me later. It was great.
The roller coaster that was there
Singing as the in-house Yodeller at the Festhaus.
Expo was AWESOME !!! We had annual pass - best value 6 mths entertainment. All those concerts, German Fest House, AWESOME:)
Too many good times to list but remember drinking my first strawberry daiquiri & skiing for the first time in Canada the best 6 months of my life which we could do it again. Loved Expo 88.
Night rider car and being able to sit in it!
Started going out with my now husband Sep 8/1988. 25 years this year! And I'm only 39 lol

Video games often contain overly sexualized and/or vulnerable female characters - known as the male gaze. But does anyone consider how female gamers feel when playing such games, let alone how they feel when harassed for being a girl.
Storified by · Tue, Apr 30 2013 18:27:06
GAF sure loves to get huffy about female characters in video games. Whether they're "lolis" or have ridiculously gigantic boobs.
#Fact I tend to select female characters in games cause of their hotness
people playing female characters in video games, trying to tell me they don't do it so they can undress them when bored. please.
#Gamification Fact: % of female gamers: 42. bit.ly/wYd2yw #Gsummit
If half of all gamers are female, why do women only make up 6% of the games industry? pocketgamer.biz/r/PG.Biz/Women… via @PGbiz
I really hate female gamers sometimes. They're terrible at playing the game, and all they crave is attention.
"can girls be gamers?" no, the moment a female touches anything game related they explode into flames
Females thought the wii was the greatest video game created beside the microwave
Why even is there female gamers? You should all be in the kitchen dpmo
It’s sad to say many female gamers are rarely recognized for their tenacity & raw skill. When are guys gonna get that a gamer IS a gamer?!?

Is Zylan Cheatham the second Jordan Bell? http://247sports.com/Player/Zylan-Cheatham-27192 #EYBL
2015 Aaron Holiday has been best player for Cal Supreme when n game. Didnt play much n first half. Not coming out n second half. #EYBL
Cal Supreme finally goes man to man. Too late on the adjustment. Cal should have sped game up sooner. Justise Winslow running point. #EYBL
Wakr Forest recruit Shelton Mitchell reminds me of L.J. Rose of Baylor. #EYBL
Reid Travis has met w new Minnesota staff twice. Wants 2 visit Gonzaga & Stanford. Harvard, Iowa & B.C. recruiting 4 football & basketball.

2016 Jason Tatum is a phenomenal passer at 6-7. What a feel for the game. Basketball player. Want him on my pick up team. #EYBL
Orlando Antigua had to take a cool down walk after that epic series of passes by Jason Tatum. #EYBL
2016 Jason Tatum reminds me of Michael Carter-Williams. Not at the same stage but more reminds me of him right now.

We asked people what one thing they would like to change in their local library. Answers ranged from sleepovers, to more books, to seeing more of our services offered online. All feedback has been sent on to Community Library Managers and our Lead Team.

Please RT: If you could change one thing about your local library, what would it be? #onesmallchange
Throw it all at me! And YES I'll be taking your ideas/feedback to community library managers on your behalf #onesmallchange
@Auckland_Libs be able to stay overnight #onesmallchange
@lisamandry Sleepovers! In any particular community library?
@Auckland_Libs birkenhead. Upstairs by sofas?
@lisamandry I know that the Auckland Research Centre has an annual genealogy lock-in. A themed one for Birkenhead? For kids/teens/adults?
@lisamandry BTW I am *very* much loving this idea!
@Auckland_Libs call me #napster - the female one!
@Auckland_Libs I love my local library - it's my favourite thing about Pt Chev - but I wish it had a larger graphic novel section
@sarahelaing Kia ora! Have sent your feedback on to Pt Chev's community library manager. Just to clarify: kids, teens, adults or overall?
@Auckland_Libs Library fines. #crikey
@lucymk Hi! Is there something particular you had in mind in relation to fines/charges? Very keen to take all comments through to management
@Auckland_Libs More proactive reminders to students that it's awesome they use the library to study; so are inside voices. #onesmallchange

Terimakasih teman2 buruh yang sudah membuat demo hari ini aman,tertib dan damai...
Demo buruh hari ini dalam rangka "MayDay" berjalan lancar & tertib sehingga tidak mengganggu ketertiban umum.
Apresiasi tinggi untuk buruh se Jakarta, khususnya sekitar Kawasan Industri Pulogadung yang melaksanakan Hari Buruh Sedunia dengan tertib dan damai, dan juga untuk rekan-rekan PT. JIEP serta aparat tekait yang bekerja dengan sungguh-sungguh. Bravo!
alhamdulilah demo berjalan tertib,mudah mudahan aspirasi buruh bisa d kabul amin.
...Ternyata Demo para Buruh (myday) jauh lebih tertib, simpatik dan elegant dibanding jika Demo Mahasiswa...
Salut untuk unjuk rasa buruh hari ini. Tak ada aksi anarkistis dan kekerasan yang terjadi. Sekitar 71 ribu buruh yang menyemut di Jakarta, tertib menyampaikan aspirasinya. ... Hal ini sepatutnya ditiru oleh para "MAHASISWA" yang suka demo ... dan tidak seharusnya "MAHASISWA yg TINGGI INTELEKTUALITASNYA" bertindak anarkis dan kekerasan dalam melaksanakan demo ... Acungan 2 jempol para Buruh yang Necis di May Day hari Rabu, 1 Mei 2013
Alhamdulillah akhirnya demo hari buruh berlangsung aman,tertib dan lancar semoga tercapai yg inginkan "buruh sejahtera"
