WASHINGTON (AP) - The Federal Reserve says consumers slashed losses and uncertainty about the economic recovery prompted Americans to rein in their debt.
Consumers ratcheted back their credit by a larger-than-anticipated $21.6 billion from June, the most on records dating to 1943. Economists expected credit to drop by $4 billion.
July's retreat translated into an annualized drop of 10.4 percent. That was even sharper than the 7.4 percent annualized decline in June and the deepest cut since a 16.3 percent pace in June 1975.

$25,000 for 4 Lots in Santa Clarita, CA
Hey there,
I have four lots at the top of De Wolf and I am interested in selling them really cheap.
An adjoining lot owner said he thinks his lots are worth $35 or $40k a piece for about the same size. Because of my situation, I am willing to let all four of mine go for just $25k (but I haven't told him that yet).
Call me if you want them.

Casting Announced for Public Theater World Premiere of Richard Foreman's Old-Fashioned Prostitutes
By Adam Hetrick
Rocco Sisto, Stephanie Hayes, Alenka Kraigher, Nicolas Norena and David Skeist will star in the Public Theater world premiere of Richard Foreman's Old-Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance), which will begin performances April 30 Off-Broadway.
Written, directed and designed by acclaimed avant-garde theatre-maker Foreman (Idiot Savant), Old-Fashioned Prostitutes will officially open May 7 and run through June 2. It is presented in association with Foreman's Ontological-Hysteric Theater.
The cast is comprised of Sisto (Seminar, Amadeus The Bacchae) as Samuel, Hayes (February House) as Gabriella, Kraigher (Idiot Savant) as Suzie, performance artist Nicolas Norena as Michelin Man and David Skeist ("Law & Order") as Alfredo.
According to the Public, "Snapshots from an enigmatic fairy-tale in which Suzie, the elusive coquette, brings Samuel to his knees — from where he worships a life he only half understands, Old-Fashioned Prostitutes (A True Romance) is an expressionistic chamber-play that twists emotional heartache into a landscape of continual mental invention."
The production has costume design by Gabriel Berry and lighting design by Yael Lubetzky.
For tickets phone (212) 967-7555, or visit PublicTheater. The Public Theater is located at 425 Lafayette Street in Manhattan.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- A Cotswold family that suffered two devastating losses within weeks, is getting through the holidays with a little help from their friends and neighbors.
Mike Farnsworth, an orthopedic sales rep, died suddenly on October 6th – his 10th wedding anniversary – leaving behind his wife, Melissa, and two young children.
"Mike was like an everyman's man," said his brother Matt. "He was charming, handsome, and just a really good guy."
Matt Farnsworth said Mike struggled with an alcohol addiction for years, often quitting just to start again. They believe alcohol is what killed him, though they are waiting for toxicology results to be sure.
"He just had a really bad disease," said Matt. "He lost the battle. It wasn't for lack of trying."
Then, a few weeks later in the early morning hours of the Sunday after Thanksgiving, the family's house burned down. They traced the fire to faulty electrical wiring on a porch light.
Matt was staying with Melissa and the kids that night. He woke up as the house burned because he felt hot, and thought he heard a clicking sound.
"We now know the clicking we were hearing was the attic on fire above me," he said.
The family was able to escape, but they lost everything except a few photos and Mike's confirmation Bible.
But even without a roof over their heads, the Farnsworths found friends and neighbors willing to shelter them – with support.
Sunday night, they raised thousands of dollars for the family with a fundraiser at Dilworth Neighborhood Grille. Owner Norm Randall had been friends with Mike and Melissa Farnsworth for almost ten years. He, like others, was eager to help.
"It's amazing," said Randall. "I just believe it's the hand of God bringing people together when one family truly needs some support."
Matt Farnsworth choked up when he saw the outpouring of support.
"I walked in here tonight and the amount of love that's come out of this .. is just.." he paused. "It's a little overwhelming."
He wants to pay the good deeds forward. He knows during the holidays he'll miss his brother, but he also knows others are battling the same illness Mike did.
He offers this advice: "If you're struggling and you think you have a problem, take it seriously," he said, "because life is too short."
Tax deductible donations to help the family can also be made to Hope Community Church

Tax bands - where does the 2012 Vauxhall Insignia Saloon sit?
Older cars
Car registered before March 2001 are taxed on their engine size. those with engines of 1549cc or below are charged at one rate (currently £130 a year), and those with engines larger than 1549cc are charged £215 a year.
Cars registered after 1 March 2001
Car tax rates for cars registered after February 2001 are split into 13 bands, each designated a letter A-M. You pay according to your CO2 emissions. See the road tax chart below for a breakdown on the bands and rates.
CO2 Over 225g/km and registered before 23 March 2006
Cars registered before 23 March 2006 with a CO2 emissions level of over 225g/km are not placed in the L or M bands, but into band K. So if your car was registered before that date and has CO2 emissions of over 200 g/km - you know it will fall into tax band K.
New Cars Road Tax
Since April 2010, new cars have been subject to a different rate for the first year of road tax, after which the rate goes back to the standard rate. See the chart at the bottom of the page for more details.
Road Tax Price Increases - From 1 April 2012
The 2012 budget saw the price of road tax increase in line with RPI (the Retail Price Index), and our chart shows these new prices.
These prices came into force on 1 April 2012 and will be in place for 2012/13, after which they will be reviewed and probably subject to a further increase in 2014.
For those in Tax Band A, there has been no change, and the tax remains at a zero rate.
To see how the 2012 Vauxhall Insignia Saloon has been affected, please find the exact model in the list above to find the appropriate tax band to see what the road tax is for a 2012 Vauxhall Insignia Saloon.

Chloe Moretz headed to the Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, California yesterday evening for the 2013 MTV Movie Awards.
The actress wore a Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2013 patchwork denim dress with a Topshop denim sleeveless shirt.
While I love the fun, youthful factor of this look, with vastly improved styling from the look book, I don't love the dress itself.
It looks, dare I say, like a 'Project Runway' reject. Even the grommet leather belt and sparkling, bow-accented T-bar Jimmy Choo pumps can't lift this look to love status.

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
"I am Moth, a girl from the lowest part of Chrystie Street, born to a slum-house mystic and the man who broke her heart."
So begins The Virgin Cure, a novel set in the tenements of lower Manhattan in the year 1871. As a young child, Moth's father smiled, tipped his hat and walked away from her forever. The summer she turned twelve, her mother sold her as a servant to a wealthy woman, with no intention of ever seeing her again.
These betrayals lead Moth to the wild, murky world of the Bowery, filled with house-thieves, pickpockets, beggars, sideshow freaks and prostitutes, where eventually she meets Miss Everett, the owner of a brothel simply known as "The Infant School." Miss Everett caters to gentlemen who pay dearly for companions who are "willing and clean," and the most desirable of them all are young virgins like Moth.
Through the friendship of Dr. Sadie, a female physician, Moth learns to question and observe the world around her, where her new friends are falling prey to the myth of the "virgin cure" - that deflowering a "fresh maid" can heal the incurable and tainted. She knows the law will not protect her, that polite society ignores her, and still she dreams of answering to no one but herself. There's a high price for such independence, though, and no one knows that better than a girl from Chrystie Street.
The Virgin Cure
In 1871, I was serving as a visiting physician for the New York Infirmary for Indigent Women and Children. While seeing to the health and well-being of the residents of the Lower East Side, I met a young girl, twelve years of age, named Moth. In the pages that follow, you will find her story, told in her own words, along with occasional notes from my hand. In the tradition of my profession, I intended to limit my remarks to scientific observations only, but in the places where I felt compelled to do so, I've added a page or two from my past. These additions are offered in kindness and with the best of intentions.
Recall ages - One age is but a part - ages are but a part;
Recall the angers, bickerings, delusions, superstitions, of the idea of caste,
Recall the bloody cruelties and crimes.
Anticipate the best women;
I say an unnumbered new race of hardy and well-defined
women are to spread...
While much of my description of the book and the information in this review may seem dark or heavy, The Virgin Cure is to be commended for addressing a difficult subject with humanity and in a way that is very accessible to readers. This story is full of life, and the will of a young girl to find a better way in the world than the one she knows is so strong on every page. McKay doesn't make Moth's journey easy, and that is to her credit. Moth must travel the path set out from her birth. That she does so wisely and with her eyes open - despite enduring pain, loss, and sadness - makes the experience of reading The Virgin Cure so much more real. Moth will take up space in your heart, and you will thank McKay for the gift of this story.
(Reviewed by Jennifer Dawson Oakes).
Full Review (1276 words).
As Ami McKay notes in the afterword of The Virgin Cure: "In 1870, there were over thirty thousand children living on the streets of New York and many more who wandered in and out of cellars and tenements as their families struggled to scrape together enough income to put food on the table."
The New York Infirmary for Indigent Women & Children was opened on May 12, 1857 by Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell, who was born in 1821 in Bristol, England and is credited with being the first female to receive a medical degree in the United States. (This hospital still exists, but today it is known as the New York Downtown Hospital.) The mission of both Elizabeth and her sister, Emily Blackwell - who earned her medical doctorate five years after her ...
If you liked The Virgin Cure, try these:
When her family is destroyed in a Russian pogrom, Lillian comes to America alone, determined to make her way in a new land. When word comes that her daughter, Sophie, might still be alive, Lillian embarks on an odyssey that takes her from the world of the Yiddish theater on New Yorks Lower East Side, to Seattles Jazz District, and up to...
Hauntingly beautiful and heartbreaking, Colm Tóibín's sixth novel, Brooklyn, is set in Brooklyn and Ireland in the early 1950s, when one young woman crosses the ocean to make a new life for herself.

Samir Khan
News about Samir Khan, including commentary and archival articles published in The New York Times.
Samir Khan, a young Web-savvy American of Pakistani origin thought to be behind the Al Qaeda magazine Inspire, was killed in the same September 2011 strike that killed the radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki.
Mr. Awlaki, whom the United States had been hunting in Yemen for more than two years, had been identified as the target in advance and was killed with a Hellfire missile fired from a drone operated by the Central Intelligence Agency. Mr. Khan was traveling with Mr. Awlaki, but it was not clear whether he was also a deliberate target of the strike.
Mr. Khan, who was born in 1986, was an enthusiast of jihad who lived with his parents in North Carolina as recently as 2007, before leaving the United States for Yemen in 2009, where he is thought to have started Inspire magazine.
Mr. Khan was born in Saudi Arabia and grew up in Queens. He was an unlikely foot soldier in what Al Qaeda calls the "Islamic jihadi media." He had grown up in middle-class America and wrestled with his worried parents about his religious fervor.
Before leaving the United States, Mr. Khan had served as a Western conduit for the multimedia productions of violent Islamic groups, a role he appeared to have continued to pursue from Yemen. At the time, he was not thought to have had terrorist ties.
In recent years, Mr. Khan had become a strong part of the information arm of Al Qaeda's Yemen affiliate, Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. He proclaimed, in an early edition of the Qaeda magazine, that "I am proud to be a traitor," according to an ABC News report from 2010.
Inspire magazine attracted attention in September 2011 for its issue commemorating and celebrating the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In the issue, the group criticized President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran for repeating conspiracy theories that diminished Al Qaeda's role in the attacks.

This week marks the arrival of the new CD In the Black from Kittie, the all-female quartet who first clawed their way onto the metal scene back in 1999 with their acclaimed debut album Spit. The band's undergone a few lineup changes over the years, but the new stuff proves they're leaner and meaner than ever.
But metal mayhem isn't all these lethal ladies are about... I was also excited to learn that drummer Mercedes Lander is a self-proclaimed horror geek, and is more than happy to talk about her genre obsessions. We discussed her growing horror movie library, her favorite fear flicks and a few prize horror toys in her collection… and you can read all about that and a review of the new album below!
FEARnet: When did you first get hooked on horror?
MERCEDES: When I was about six years old, I wandered into the horror section of the local video store and spotted The Corpse Grinders. I begged my mom to get it for six months, and after she finally let me rent it, I was hooked. My parents weren't very strict when it came to things like movies, so after The Corpse Grinders I got into the Friday the 13th series, the A Nightmare On Elm Street series and other movies like that.
What would you consider your short-list of the best classic horror flicks?
Return Of The Living Dead; Don't Go Into The Woods; The Undertaker And His Pals; Hard Rock Zombies; Burial Ground; Suspiria; I Spit On Your Grave; Dead Heat; Criminally Insane; and Night Of The Living Dead (the original and 1990 versions).
That's a wild selection… I'll bet movie nights at your place are awesome.
Every day is a horror movie party for me! They usually consist of my sister and band-mate Morgan and my best friend Yasmina at either of our houses.
What was the last movie lineup you watched with them?
The last few we watched were Shock 'Em Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Midnight Meat Train, and Poultrygeist.
How many titles would I find in your horror movie collection?
At this point I honestly wouldn't have a clue! I counted a few years ago, and had around 350 movies… I'm guessing I'm close to 500 now.
Any "crown jewels" in there?
I have a few movies I am VERY proud to own. I'm more into 1960s to 1980s films, so the cheese factor is a must. Criminally Insane and its really bad camcorder-shot sequel, Crazy Fat Ethel 2, and The Undertaker and His Pals... all very hard-to-find movies, but great!
What's the best recently-made horror flick you've seen?
I didn't mind the Last House On The Left remake; I think that was the last horror movie I saw in theaters that I liked. I really have a hard time getting into newer movies because I hate CGI. As for movies that I rented, I liked Midnight Meat Train... it was definitely different.
What's your overall take on the Hollywood "remake-mania?"
I'm sitting on the fence on this subject, because I have seen a few good remakes... but for the most part, I can't stand when the director and writer strays from the original plot too much. I've actually yelled at the screen in movie theaters because of it! I understand while making a movie you need to have your own creative input, but in reality you're just making a remake and shouldn't get too carried away. You can't touch some of those classics, and trying to remake them is just going to turn out badly. Hollywood should let ME make movies… I think I would do a pretty good job!
Apart from your movie collection. do you collect horror memorabilia?
Yes, I'm also a toy and horror movie book geek!
What are some of the prize items in your collection?
I love all my Evil Dead toys to death, and I also have this really awesome 'Good Guy' doll (alias Chucky) that my mom got for me when she went to California a few years ago. I live by the Zombie Survival Guide, just in case the dead start to walk the earth and try to eat me!
If Mercedes never gets that break into movies, it would be a loss for cinema... but then again we wouldn't want to jeopardize the band's future, because Kittie have serious skills, and the proof's right here In the Black. Her sister Morgan, the band's lead vocalist and co-founder, isn't kidding when she describes it as "a behemoth of an album."
The band took full creative control this time out, writing and recording all songs with no outside influence, and wisely chose to delve into the roots of old-school metal – including bands like Thin Lizzy, whom Mercedes cites as a big influence – plainly evident in cuts like "Whisky Love Song," for example (great vocals on that one too). But there's also plenty of wicked thrash and death in the mix as well: the low-key but effective opening instrumental "Kingdom Come" is epic in the mold of classic-period Metallica, and leads into the brutal "My Plague," a straight searing blast of simple vintage thrash.
"Forgive and Forget" swings wildly between manic death metal (including a shockingly deep, gravelly voice layered beneath the main vocal), '80s-style riffage and melodic flourishes; "Sorrow I Know" is a pensive, mid-tempo cut that reminds you how good this band is at creating a dark, haunting mood, as exemplified in earlier classics like "Safe" (my personal fave). Equally compelling is "Falling Down," this time grinding more slowly with a lurching 3/4-time beat. The church-organ strains that begin the massive final track "The Truth" give it even more epic weight.
Throughout these twelve cuts, Morgan's vocals flit easily between pristine pop croons and brain-searing demon growls, creating a feeling of tense uncertainty in tracks like "Forgive and Forget," and even meet in the middle for a lascivious twist in the passionate "Die My Darling." Instrumentally, they adhere to a fairly straight, uncomplicated style, with the occasional look-at-me guitar solo (probably another nod to their '80s guitar heroes). I think their guitars feel most robust with a touch of old-school detuned layers ("Ready Aim Riot" is a great example), although the mega-fat sound can sometimes make Morgan's clean vocals sound a bit tiny.
Free from external pressures, the band is at their most expressive and intense, and you can also tell they're having fun with it, as if they were their sole audience. Although it might lack some of the caustic angst of some of their early work, it's just as primal and even more energetic... and that personal touch really comes through. Check 'em out now!

Register News Writer
The Madison County School Board voted 5-0 Thursday to accept its 2012 financial audit.
The 113-page report was presented by Myron Fisher and Kenny Keener of Baldwin CPAs.
The job of the auditors is to render an opinion on financial statements by determining if they are presented fairly and if all the material respects the generally accepted accounting principals, Fisher said.
"Our opinion is: yes they are. There is nothing there that should be changed or presented any differently to be in accordance with those principals," he said.
The CPAs went over the report's highlights with the board.
The district has around $191.6 million in total assets, which include land, buildings, buses and "things that you buy that are of capital nature," Fisher said.
Minus the district 's $112.7 million in liabilities, the district has $78.9 million in "what we will call 'equity,'" he said.
The equity is $1.9 million more than what was reported last year, he said, meaning the district has gained more assets than liabilities compared to two years ago.
All of the report's amounts are in agreement with what was in the annual financial report (AFR), Fisher said, which was presented to the board a couple months ago by Debbie Frazier, the district's chief financial officer.
Part of the audit report revealed how much the district would need to cover if no state funds, or on-behalf payments, were available.
On-behalf payments are what the state pays to cover a portion of items like employee retirement and medical benefits. The amount was around $14.6 million last year, the report showed.
The district's general fund budget does not include on-behalf payments because the finance team is not notified by the state until "sometimes up into September," Superintendent Tommy Floyd said.
"Every year we don't know what that number is … We don't plan for it, because we can't. It's just the way we have to do it," Floyd explained later in the meeting to clarify why there are discrepancies between budgeted amounts and actual dollars.
The AFR always compares the differences between the fiscal years, excluding on-behalf payments, Fisher said.
After on-behalf actual balances were applied to the budget, the district came out around $1.4 million under budget on top of maintaining a $5.4 million contingency fund, according to the report.
"Your plans are to not spend that, and you didn't spend that for this past fiscal year … I think that's worth pointing out," Fisher said.
The district has maintained a similar contingency fund since when Baldwin CPAs completed an audit a couple years ago, Fisher said. "It's grown over the years a bit, but it's been that for quite some time."
The district's total unassigned balance of around $5.67 million is within $573 of June 2011's balance, he said. "You've been able to maintain that. I think that's a good indicator, from a financial health standpoint, of the district."
The district's bonded debt obligations for construction projects reduced by around $5.2 million from $115 million to $109.7 million over the past year.
"The $5.2 million is about what you're paying in principal every year on that debt," Fisher said.
The district did not acquire any new debt, he said, and they did not refinance any debt because "the market has been relatively flat."
Although the district has refinanced debt over the past four or five years that has "saved the district quite a bit of money (in interest)," Fisher said, there wasn't much reason for the district to consider refinancing because (interest) rates "can't go much lower."
The CPAs also audited federal program funds the district receives and spends during the year, which was around $12.7 million, according to the report.
The $12.7 million in federal funds was $1.8 million less than what was received in 2011, Fisher said.
"My only comment on that is, lower federal program dollars obviously mean" that more of the costs will have to covered by local and state money, he said.
The report on a decrease in federal funds was ironic because earlier in the meeting, the board passed a resolution urging Congress to amend the Budget Control Act of 2011 to prevent a negative impact on school funding.
The resolution was drafted by the Kentucky School Boards Association, which requested all Kentucky school boards to pass the resolution, Floyd said.
If the cuts are not amended, the district's 2013-14 budget could see a $420,000 to $480,000 shortfall, the superintendent said.
The Budget Control Act includes a provision to impose $1.2 trillion in across-the-board budget cuts to almost all federal programs, including education. The cuts would become effective Jan. 2, 2013, the resolution states.
Board chair Mona Isaacs read the resolution: "[T]hese across-the-board budget cuts, also known as sequestration, would impact education by a reduction in funds 8.2 percent or more and could result in larger class sizes, fewer course offerings, possible four-day school weeks, loss of extracurricular activities, and teacher and staff lay-offs …"
"Madison County Schools, as well as other public schools, would be impacted nationwide by an estimated $2.7 billion loss from just three programs alone ? Title I grants, IDEA special education state grants and Head Start ? that serve a combined 30.7 million children ..."
"[F]ederal funding for K-12 programs was already reduced by more than $835 million in Fiscal Year 2011, and state and local funding for education continues to be impacted by budget cuts and lower local property tax revenues … Madison County Schools has already implement cuts commensurate to state and local budget conditions."
The audit on compliance did not identify any bookkeeping items that were "required to be reported," Fisher said.
The CPAs notice some minor bookkeeping issues when they visited the schools, but "each of those have already been communicated to Mr. Floyd and Ms. Frazier, and they have already been proactive in their response to them," he said.
"We were $1.4 million under budget. Overall, we were still within our budgeted means," board member Becky Coyle noted as the auditors wrapped up their report.
Also, this report takes into consideration the $1.8 million reduction in federal funds, board member Chris Hager noted. "That's about a total $3 million (budget) difference."
"It's a formal dance that you all have to do every year … to be able to anticipate those kind of things that are outside of anybody in this room's control," Fisher said.
Board member John Lackey asked if there was a better way for the board to handle the differences between what is budgeted and the actual numbers.
"Our job up here is to try to apportion the money we have and handle our resources the right way. If we end up with $1.4 million more than we anticipated, but we're looking at certain areas that are way over budgeted, then maybe we need to look at the budget and skew these the way they should be," Lackey said.
Frazier interjected to say $1 million of the $1.4 million general fund excess was the current year's capital outlay money, which are funds provided by the state to offset the cost of construction, renovations or emergencies.
If the district does not use this money, recent legislation permits the board to use the money in the general fund or save it. The district has accumulated around $5 million in capital outlay since 2007 because it has been able to "live within its means," Floyd said.
The other $400,000 was prior years' capital outlay money that was set aside to use for construction projects, she said, but they were able "to get through the year without the use of those."
The money was restored to the capital outlay fund as a financial "cushion" for future budgetary shortfalls, she said.
"So in all, it was an excellent year for budgeting and expenditures. We really ended up very close," Isaacs said. "I always feel good when we get a good clean audit, because sometimes people don't get good clean audits. That's very reassuring that the numbers we have can be trusted. That's why we do this exercise every year."

Flying Blind -- A special report; Aging Control System Brings Chaos to Air Travel
At least 11 times in the last year, air traffic control centers have stumbled or broken down completely, robbing controllers of the tools they use to keep airplanes separated and on course, sometimes leaving them completely deaf, mute and blind. The main problem, everyone agrees, is that some computers that help controllers track airplanes are at least 25 years old and long past due for replacement, but updated technology has been delayed because contractors have not been able to write the software for new equipment. Even though the Federal Aviation Administration is facing a difficult stretch, until new systems are designed, tested and installed it is doing something surprising with maintenance: cutting back. It is also letting equipment go unattended on night shifts, eliminating training for technicians and cutting back on hiring, so that in some busy air traffic control centers half the technicians are eligible to retire.August 20, 1995 usSpecial Report

When a little baby is born, it has for nine months been used to the swaying movements from the mother. These movements have soothed the baby, stimulated its senses and given it optimal conditions for intellectual growth. After birth, the soft and slow rhythm of the swaying has been programmed into its cells as being safe and comforting. The desire for the swaying rhythm never leaves us. We cradle the baby in our arms and we carry it in a sling. It falls asleep to the movements of the pram or the car and later the swing in the park takes them all the way to the sky. When we grow up, it is still part of life as we listen or dance to music, or as we enjoy watching the waves reach the beach. To sway is to feel secure and alive.
The idea of the Leander Cradle came to life, as designer Stig Leander Nielsen's sister-in-law expected twins. While she was feeding one twin, the other also needed to feel safe and secure. The Cradle proved a great help. The sister-in-law, who is a health nurse, loved the idea and could see the need for a modern cradle that could meet the expectations of the latest knowledge regarding infants.
In Denmark and Northern Europe, where the Leander Cradle came onto the market in mid-2002, it has been highly sought after both from parents and institutions working with premature babies. Professionals agree, that the swaying motions of this single point suspended cradle, give both security and stimulation of the senses.
The cradle itself is not a new invention but the Leander Cradle combines design and function in a new and interesting way. The simple and sculptural design is beautiful and of the highest quality as well as very practical. It takes the traditional cradle into the new millennium; timeless and modern. The Leander Cradle excels by having several applications. It can be suspended from a hook in the ceiling or in a tripod which allows you to move it around the house. The tripod as well as the fabric canopy are accessories.
The baby's safety is a priority. The fabric and the mattress are made of allergy tested cotton and are machine washable at 60°C. The oval shape has no sharp edges and the fabric is soft to the touch.
Stig Leander Nielsen says: "It is important to me to create high quality products at reasonable prices because I strongly believe that quality enhances the joy of living. A cradle can obviously not replace the parents' physical contact with their child but I hope, it can be a great help in their busy lives."
Leander CRADLE Accessories
Tripod Canopy Quilted Top Mattress Fitted Sheets (2/pack)
Ceiling Hook
One ceiling hook is included with your Leander Cradle. Additional hooks may be purchased to suspend the Cradle in different rooms.
This tepee with floor mat reuses the tripod and is a great indoor cubby for your child. Made from 100% cotton the neutral exterior doesn't interfere with the surroundings. The internal colourful pockets for treats and treasures will exite your little one. The "door" can be zipped closed or tied open for visitors, endless games and scenarios will be played out..

The Meridian Star
A $66,000 grant has been awarded to the city of Meridian to purchase equipment for the Meridian Law Enforcement Center. The grant was presented by the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security, on behalf of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety.
The grant is part of a $200 million federal program being administered by the United States Department of Homeland Security. The program is intended to improve emergency management and preparedness capabilities at the state, local and community levels as part of a comprehensive national emergency management system.
Tim Miller, who wears two hats, one as the chief administrative officer for the City of Meridian and the other as the director of the Meridian Department of Homeland Security, said this funding will enable the city to further upgrade the Meridian / Lauderdale County Public Training Facility located on Sandflat Road.
"We will be able to upgrade our technology at the facility while at the same time address some pressing needs we have in other areas such as training," said Miller.
Funds will be used to purchase training, response, and personal protection equipment for use at the law enforcement center. Fire and law enforcement officers utilize the facilities for a variety of training programs, including response, force protection (crowd control) and executive protection.
Miller said some of the funding will used specifically for wireless broadband use in both the classrooms and dorms. He said protective gear such as vests, goggles and other items used in training and on the firing range will be purchased with the money. Finally, he said ATVs will be purchased for use.
"The bulk of the funding will be used toward the technology upgrade," Miller said.
J.W. Ledbetter, Director of the Mississippi Office of Homeland Security, said Homeland Security involves providing first responders and emergency management personnel with the required facilities and equipment to handle a multitude of situations.
"Those needs vary from training to protective equipment to technology. These funds will allow Meridian to make sure their training facility has the needed equipment to train officers statewide," Ledbetter said.
Ledbetter said the United States Department of Homeland Security has directed state Homeland Security affiliates to use the funding to enhance existing capabilities within individual states for responding to acts of domestic and international terrorism, use of weapons of mass destruction and biochemical agents.
Meridian Mayor Cheri Barry said the announcement the city had been awarded the funding was good news.
"Anytime we can secure funding for something that is vital to the city and its people then we certainly are excited," said Barry. "Meridian is moving forward and we have to keep up with changing technology so this funding will help us to do just that."
The grant program is part of a federal plan for 'All-Hazard' response planning, beginning at local levels. The aim is the improve response capabilities for catastrophic natural disasters, potential for weapons of mass destruction, acts of terrorism, and chemical/biological/radiological/nuclear/explosive incidents. The initiative also improves local response capabilities for traffic agents, fires and other emergencies.
The Mississippi Office of Homeland Security, a division of the Mississippi Department of Public Safety, in fiscal year 2013 will distribute more than $5.29 million in Homeland Security Grant Program funding in Mississippi for training and equipment.

My big news is that I have written a comic horror novella for Random House's Hammer imprint – this is my first novel for about 15 years, and writing it did feel like coming home at last. It's called
Cat Out of Hell
, and published on February 27. It is also a Radio 4
Book at Bedtime
for two weeks in March. It concerns the mystery of a missing woman, a talking cat called Roger, a remote seaside cottage, and a nice retired librarian with a dog called Watson. I fell in love with Roger, because he is not only handsome and evil, but terribly, terribly clever. But of course Watson is the hero because he is a dog.
On the 28th March I will be reading and signing copies at an event held by
Much Ado Books
. If you can't make it to the event you can pre-order your own inscribed book, to be posted after the talk. Simply
click here
for more details.
Also out soon is a revised (and very beautiful) edition of my National Portrait Gallery book,
Tennyson and his Circle
On Sunday March 2, there will be a recording at the Radio Theatre at Broadcasting House of my new series of six natural history monologues, called
Gossip From the Garden Pond
. Sandi Toksvig, James Fleet, Amanda Root and David Ryall are all (I hope) already committed to it, and there are a couple of other brilliant comic actors we are currently crossing our fingers for. Characters are: a tadpole, a dragonfly, a water boatman, a diving beetle, a garden spider and a great pond snail.

Oversized Clutches
Mary Kate Olsen, seen here at the David Yurman MenÂ's Accessory Event in October, unsurprisingly was among the first to take to this trend. While she carried her Prada purse to a fancier event, you donÂ't necessarily need a special occasion to carry an oversized clutch. Per our celebrity examples, you can take one out clubbing (a la Hilary Duff), when going for a walk with your boyfriend (see Ashlee Simpson), or take a cue from the ultimate fashion-guru, Kate Moss, and carry YSLÂ's Catwalk Nubuck Bag ($1595) to your next dinner date. We realize that all of our examples occurred at nighttime, but donÂ't forget that this trend can absolutely be exercised at any time. In fact, carrying an oversized clutch during the day is an unexpected and cool look, so we encourage it.
If youÂ're ready to acquire this sort of handbag, youÂ're in the right place! WeÂ've done some internet window-shopping and scouted out our favorites, in a range of prices, styles, and colors. KoobaÂ's Hannah Lambskin Clutch ($375) comes in a great pewter color and has a convenient wrist loop (for those of you who arenÂ't quite ready to go strapless). Marc Jacobs offers a fantastic option; his Palais Royal Clutch ($260) is a beautiful shade of midnight blue and we like its slightly more square shape. If youÂ're in search for something perhaps a little brighter, we suggest LuLaÂ's Ready Clutch ($242) in the eye-catching Citron. (If you choose a bold accessory like the LuLa bag, let it shine by keeping the rest of your outfit simple.) Finally, we have our personal favorite, TopshopÂ's Patent Oversized Clutch ($69). While less expensive than the others, itÂ's equally fabulous and also quite versatile. The clutch comes with a removable across-body strap, so you have more than one way of wearing it!

Program teaches art of recognizing good teaching
Over the past several years, the school district has been making greater use of an educational program called Teachscape to help administrators develop consistent and effective measurements for how teachers perform in the classroom.
Administrators and parents like to think they can be objective in how they measure a teacher's effectiveness, but Delahanty said the biggest roadblock is there is no single measurement of a student's performance within a single classroom.
Because there are no clear measurements for student effectiveness, Delahanty said the goal is to find an effective and objective measurement for that teacher performance.
"The goal is to reduce disparity between evaluators," said Delahanty.
As the administrators have become more comfortable using Teachscape to help evaluate teachers, the district has also branched out to include the teachers themselves into the program.

Ada — Ada High football fans may see a familiar big ol' guy roaming the Ardmore sidelines tonight.
No, I'm not talking about longtime Ardmore assistant and former Cougar Grant Naylor, although he fits the bill.
It's the new big ol' guy that you need to keep an eye on. Former Ada High School All-American lineman Craig Roark, who spent last year as the head coach of the Holdenville Wolverines, is now an assistant football coach and the head wrestling guy at Ardmore. Another Cougar who has joined the 'enemy.'
So what did all his Ada buddies think of his latest career move?
"To be honest, most of my friends as you can expect gave me a hard time and joked around with me," Roark said. "But all of my good friends were very excited for me, and understood how much of a blessing it was for me to have this opportunity to work for such a tradition-rich program with such great coaches and people. I thank God for this opportunity every day."
Roark also spent a couple of years with the East Central University football program so he will definitely be coming 'home' when he walks into Norris Field for tonight's Week 1 matchup between the two old rivals.
"I'm not really sure what the feeling will be like to be honest," when asked about his first return trip to Ada with the opposition. "I'm sure it will be surreal."
You really can't take the Cougar out of any former Ada football player. He'll still cheer for the Cougs most of the time.
"I was talking to coach Naylor last week, and he made a comment I completely agree with. I will cheer for the Cougars every game of the season except for one, and that one game we are going to do everything that we can to come away with a victory. I probably won't have time to even think about what it's like to be at Norris Field as an opponent, because I will be too busy trying to do whatever I can to help the team win. That is my goal going into this game."

Most of us learned running is a good way to exercise, but some wonder if too much running can cause negative effects on the body.
Bryan Kelpe with Missouri Running Company said marathon running has become more popular in the past 20 years. He said people like the idea of setting a goal and reaching it, to see what their body is capable of.
Kelpe said he runs "ultra marathons" which can run from 31 to 100 miles.
An editorial in a British Health Journal, Heart, said running long distance, day after day, year after year, doesn't give your body time to heal. The publication's lead author, Dr. James O'Keefe is the head of preventative cardiology at Mid America Heart Institute at Saint Luke's Health System.
But Kelpe said running is beneficial to the body. He said it can help your heart grow stronger, your cardiovascular system get better, and give you more energy. He said runners actually have less injuries – for example knee injuries or replacements – than people that don't work out at all.
But can there be such a thing as too much running?
"There's signs that can show too much training you know if your mood starts to dampen, then that can be too much training, if you're not getting enough sleep, you must have recovery, you know if you're starting to sacrifice your quality of life or your life with your family, that's too much," said Kelpe.
Kelpe said it's all in the training.
"I feel it's not so much too much training, but doing the training too fast, and that's actually two things there, you're actually increasing your mileage too quickly so there's a general rule, increase your mileage 10 percent each week and not to go beyond that, a lot of times people increase their mileage way too fast, and also running the mileage too fast," said Kelpe.
Kelpe said some runners have been known to run a marathon distance a day, so the "correct amount" varies on the individual.
Your body needs time to recover for the amount of effort you put into it.
So, Kelpe said if you're competing at a national speed level running marathons, you will probably need more time to recover than someone taking a casual job.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention suggests adults get about two and a half hours a week of moderate aerobic activity.
Running can be a way to get in that activity and stay healthy.

A 33-year-old woman convicted for her role in the murder of a Lakewood man who was beaten, robbed and strangled before being dumped outside a house for sale in Graham was sentenced Friday to 17 years in prison.
Angela King previously pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the death of Dean Barker, 51.
Barker died late Sept. 7 or early Sept. 8, 2012. A group of people confronted him in a Tacoma home and bound him before some of them drove away with him, court records said.
People in the group were angry with Barker the day he died, court records show.
Prosecutors said King had spread rumors that Barker had attempted to sexually assault her, and others in the group thought he had something to do with the temporary disappearance of a young girl.
Prosecutors have said they have no evidence either of those allegations is true.
Barker was beaten, robbed and tied up at a house in Tacoma before King drove him and another man to Graham, where they met up with several others, court records show.
King initially told police Barker got out of the car, and she drove away.
"The defendant's role in the murder of Dean Barker is that of a person who drove him to his death," deputy prosecutor James Schacht wrote in a sentencing recommendation.
Schacht advocated for a sentence of 19 years, six months in prison for King. That was the high end.
King later denied driving Barker all the way to Graham. She said she left the car at some point between Tacoma and the murder scene because she didn't want to take part in what she feared would happen to him, court records show.
Defense attorney Sunni Ko asked for a sentence of 11 years, two months.
Ko wrote in a sentencing memorandum that King regrets she did nothing to help Barker after it became clear he would be killed. For that, "not a day goes by without King feeling remorseful for what happened to Barker," the attorney wrote in a sentencing memorandum.
Judge Kathryn Nelson then sentenced King to 204 months in prison.
Eight people in all were charged with crimes related to Barker's death. Five have been convicted. The others go on trial in 2014.

TAHLEQUAH — email@example.com
Visitors to Northeast Oklahoma will be descending upon the lakes and Illinois River Labor Day weekend, getting in a final summer hurrah before fall.
Add to that the projected 100,000 guests expected for the Cherokee National Holiday, and Tahlequah and Cherokee County will be a veritable hot spot of entertainment.
According to Oklahoma Scenic Rivers Commission Administrator Ed Fite, the Illinois River should be in excellent condition for floating.
"I think it's going to be a good weekend," said Fite. "We're running at 5.6 feet at the Tahlequah gauge, which is about 2-1/2 times faster than normal."
Fite said the college football schedule may have an impact on the number of visitors.
"The University of Oklahoma has a game on Saturday. The river won't be as busy as it was Memorial Day weekend, but if folks want to have a last hurrah before football season, this weekend would be ideal," he said.
Fite recommends contacting area float operators and hotels before Friday to check availability for accommodations.
Archie Peyton, owner of Peyton's Place, expects he'll have ample equipment to meet demand.
"It's going to be a so-so weekend," said Peyton. "The river's going to be in good shape. It may run a foot below normal on our end. People need to remember it's still hot, so bring sunscreen."
Peyton still has plenty of room for visitors.
"I doubt we'll fill up this weekend," said Peyton. "Reservations help us serve our people better, but they're not required."
On the opposite end of the county, water recreationists will also flock to Lake Tenkiller. An official representative was unavailable for comment, but the state park's website offered a font of information.
Tenkiller State Park spans 1,190 acres, granting access to Tenkiller Lake, which encompasses 12,650 lake acres. Visitors have a number of choices when it comes to staying the night, as camp sites and cabins are offered.
The park is also home to a nature center with a naturalist on staff, a community building, a swimming pool with slide and log roll, two swim beaches, a marina, picnic shelters and playground. Visitors to Lake Tenkiller can take part in boating, fishing, water skiing, tubing and scuba diving.
Those who choose to visit the city of Tahlequah are in for a treat, too, as activities for the 61st annual Cherokee National Holiday will be taking place all weekend from the W.W. Keeler Complex on the south end of town, to Northeastern State University on the north end.
Tahlequah Area Chamber of Commerce Tourism Director Kate Kelly said Labor Day weekend is the perfect time to visit Tahlequah, as it provides a keyhole view to the city's diverse and rich history.
"We are thrilled to have so many visitors in town this weekend," said Kelly. "It is an incredible boost for the city's growing tourism profile, as well as the local economy. We hope, for first-time visitors, the experience will help them make the decision to return.."
