The Great American Smokeout is Nov. 20, but I think it should be observed every day of the year. Not only is smoking harmful to humans, it also hurts animals. The next time you're dying for a cigarette, remember that your friends, your relatives, your animal companions and animals in laboratories all suffer when you smoke. That will help deaden your desire for nicotine.

By now, we all know the health risks associated with smoking. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, men who smoke are 22 times more likely to die of lung cancer than those who don't. Female smokers are 12 times more likely to die of lung cancer than female nonsmokers. Smokers also have a higher risk of getting at least eight other cancers, two to four times the risk of developing coronary heart disease and twice the likelihood of having a stroke. About 90 percent of all deaths from chronic obstructive lung diseases are attributed to smoking.

Mishon "Excuse Me Mama" is yet another song about a boy who meets a girl and is automatically
attracted her. Though it may seem cliché at first, the song has a very infectious tune that gets stuck in one's head. Not to mention the fact that the singing in it self is not all that bad. Mishon has a certian charm in his singing. It's almost as if you can feel his innocence through his voice.

The Board of Education on Tuesday night received the first quarterly report for Year 3 implementation of the New Haven Strategic Plan, highlighted by a presentation on a summer-school pilot program to assist at-risk students.

The Strategic Plan, the community’s vision for New Haven Unified, was created by more than 160 students, parents, teachers, classified employees, principals, administrators and community members during the 2006-06 school year. It consists of 54 “specific actions” being implemented under five strategies designed to help the District meet three objectives: 85 percent proficiency by the end of the 2010-11 academic year; the development of character attributes reflective of productive, responsible and successful citizens; and the meeting of graduation requirements or IEP goals by all students.
