Yowch. Yeah, I found something silly the last time I searched for "petticoat" for a chop contest... actually it was disturbing, not silly.

BTW, came across a word in a syllabus I'm updating. It's a word I am sure poof will like:

INCULCATE.

The sentence: "To inculcate in students knowledge of how scientific knowledge has progressed within the realms of biology, medicine..."

Wow... someone got out a thesaurus.

Well, it is a college syllabus; time to move beyond simplistic monosyllabic verbiage and "See Jane run" sentence constructions!!

Yes, but inculate is an outdated form of instruction, where you browbeat the students through repetition to understand things. I prefer not to think of my teaching as inculation. Oh wow. It got dark outside. Gonna hail fo sho.

Good afternoon folks!

I just saw this on MSN:

By MARTIN CRUTSINGER - AP Economics Writer

WASHINGTON(AP) The government began depositing tax rebate checks in thousands of bank accounts on Monday as the stimulus program aimed at giving the ailing economy a jump-start got under way early.

The Internal Revenue Service started making the direct deposits on Monday with the goal of completing 800,000 payments each day over the first three days of this week. No deposits will be made Thursday while the IRS prepares a big batch of 5 million direct deposits scheduled on Friday.

The IRS had expected to begin the program in May but was able to start a few days earlier by utilizing a computer system that can process payments on a daily basis. The government's paper checks will start going out on May 9, a week earlier than previously announced.

The rebates, which are expected to reach 130 million households, range up to $600 for an individual and $1,200 for married couples plus $300 for eligible children younger than 17.

The rebates were the centerpiece of the government's $168 billion economic stimulus package enacted in February and are designed to bolster consumer spending and lift the economy out of the doldrums.

The first wave of payments are going to people who opted for direct deposit on their 2007 income tax returns.

Both the direct deposit payments and the paper checks are being processed by the last two digits of a taxpayers' Social Security number.

For people receiving direct deposits, those with a Social Security number ending in 00 to 20 will have their economic stimulus payment deposited to their bank account by this Friday.

Those with Social Security numbers ending in 21 to 75 will get their direct deposits by May 9 and those with Social Security numbers ending in 76 to 99 will get their deposits by May 16.
