�Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell (D) plans to apply for federal funding to support abstinence-only sex education programs for organizations and schools in the country, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. According to the Inquirer, the state Health Department is applying for roughly $1.7 million in federal money that will be dispensed by the Rendell giving medication for abstinence-only programs, which restrict teachers from discussing birth-control methods except in terms of failure rates.
Since Rendell took office in 2003, the health department has not distributed abstinence-only funding. Opponents of abstinence-only programs say that these programs present medically inaccurate info and that studies have shown that abstinence-only programs are inefficient. Abstinence cash in hand have too gone to the state Department as a result of funding earmarks obtained by Sen. Arlen Specter (R-Penn.), according to the Inquirer.
Health department interpreter Holli Senior said that the department decided to apply for the backing because it does not want to prevent groups or schools from focalisation on abstinence-only education. She also acknowledged that the funding conflicts with the department's viewpoint that sexual urge education should be comprehensive and teach students almost contraception in addition to abstinence. No state money -- only the federal grant money -- testament be victimised for the programs, Senior said, adding that the health department is "just trying to be fair across the board" and ensure that all groups have access to the funding they need (Couloumbis, Philadelphia Inquirer, 8/27).

Dirty little Wet Secrets
A small, unsuspecting prairie town sits quiet. The clich�d tumbleweed rolls by. Suddenly, movement is seen in the distance. It�s people � fifty of them. They�re wearing marching band uniforms, promenading down the main strip in single file. Some play instruments, some wave flags and twirl batons while others pull little red wagons holding powered amps. But, before the town knows what�s hit them, the procession has marched out the other side of town, boarded a bus and is gone.
That�s The Wet Secrets� rock fantasy.
�That is really our fantasy: �Guerilla marching band strikes on unsuspecting small town�,� envisions Trevor Anderson, vocalist and drummer for the Edmonton quintet.
Rock Fantasy is also the title of the band�s sophomore album; an uproariously commanding record characterized by overtly humorous lyrics and vigorous dance-rock songs.
�We very happily � sometimes to our detriment �shout things that should be kept secret,� he says. �There�s a strange amount of innocence in it. It�s not dark. It�s maybe dirty but light. Dirty light � that�s us.�
They almost have to be light. Busy lives outside The Wet Secrets barely permit them time to focus too heavily on the band�s development.
Kim Rackel on tuba and trumpet and Donna Ball on trombone run burlesque troupe, Capital City Burlesque. Lyle Bell does overtime in Shout Out Out Out Out and manages production of Edmonton�s Vue Weekly. Keyboardist Doug Organ (check his birth certificate) produces and plays in a number of bands and Anderson doubles as a budding filmmaker.
�It�s just hard to get the five of us in a room, let alone a city,� says Anderson. It�s why he says the band nearly tanked, but diverse offerings are also what grant the band an interesting sound. �I like to think of it as making art out of whatever�s in the fridge. Well, I got a piece of that and a bit of that and look � let�s call it a salad,� he says.
When asked if the band has longevity in them, Anderson jokes, �Oh, I doubt it! It was meant to be a one week prank and it has been pulling us along so far.�
But, Anderson says The Wet Secrets are happy fatalists, optimistic about what�s to come. �We know if it�s meant to be, it will be. There�s a certain amount of life that you just have no say in. The more you can embrace that, the more happy accidents can occur.�

At the good old historic period of 21, James Morrison became an overnight sense experience in the U.K. with the release of his debut album, Undiscovered, which diminished piffling meter release pt in the British Isles subsequently it was released in the summer of 2006. Blessed with a bracing, soulful voice that can seem rough or smooth at will (and suggests a British Stevie Wonder), Morrison recalls both the love of greco-Roman soul and the confessional lyrical stance of the singer/songwriters of the 1970s. Morrison was born in the West Midlands townspeople of Rugby, where he blind drunk up the influence of his parents' criminal record assemblage -- his mother was a fan of soul music, specially Otis Redding, Van Morrison, and Al Green, piece his daddy was large on rural area and definitive ethnic music such as Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie. While he's been forgetful on specifics, Morrison has alluded to an distressed childhood fey by impoverishment and sickness -- describing Rugby, he told a diary keeper that "[t]he c. H. Best thing is I've got memories of being a kid there and the worst thing is I've got memories of being a kid there" -- and other on he struck kayoed on his possess, earning pocket money by busking on the streets of Porth, a small town approximate the Cornish coast.
