The NSW Board of Studies is responsible for the implementation and administration of the NAPLAN tests in NSW.
General enquiriesEmail: email@example.com: 9367 8382
National Assessment Program Literacy and Numeracy tests will be held from 14 to 16 May 2013 for students in Years 3, 5, 7 and 9.
The assessments are an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they have learned in class. Teachers use these results to meet the individual literacy and numeracy needs of all students.
There are four tests covering numeracy, reading, writing and language conventions (spelling, punctuation and grammar).
Parents or carers of students who sit for the NAPLAN tests will receive a written report of their child's achievement in September.
The student report will show your child's results in the key areas of reading, writing, language conventions and numeracy. The report also shows the national average, the range of results for the middle 60% of students nationally and your school's average for each test. That means you'll be able to clearly see how your child compares with other students in the same year of schooling.
An additional report lists all the questions in the test, along with a brief description of each question and shows you which questions your child answered correctly. A common assessment scale is used on each NAPLAN report so that you can track your child's progress through the years.
We recommend that you make an appointment with your child's teacher to discuss your child's results and how to interpret the NAPLAN reports.

I'm new to Vampire: the Requiem and I would like to write my own chronicle but I don't know where to start. Where can I get inspiration and how can I structure the campaign/chronicle so it's cohesive and feels true to the setting of VtR?
I don't have experience with Requiem. But I have a big load of experience with Masquerade, and general advice constructing a chronicle must be the same.
First idea
There are a lot of approaches building a chronicle, but they always start the same way: a simple idea. Like "a weak prince contested by several elders" or "a conflict with werewolves" or "vampires in competion for the love of a single mortal" or even recreate the feeling of a book or movie. So, the first thing you need is that idea.
Then, as I said, you could use different approaches to build the setting. I am going to tell you what I did for my last chronicle.
After I had a first idea of what I wanted for my chronicle, I made a list with the most common themes in vampire literature and films (lust, violence, death, immortality, humanity,...) and I told my players to choose which were more appealing to them. This way I had an idea of their expectations. This isn't always necessary, but I didn't have much predetermined, so I let them set some themes.
Then I added my own, what I wanted the chronicle to be about. Many of them come from the first idea. Also, I visited TV tropes to learn which tropes I would like to insert.
Sometimes is difficult (at least to me) to differentiate themes and ambient. The ambient is for me like some more subtle theme that it's still present in all the setting. It must be underlined on all locations and characters descriptions.
For example, if your ambient is madness (which could also be a theme), all the main characters would have twisted minds, the minor should be desperates, the locations should have loud sounds and consfusing colors, barting dogs and such.
For me, the centre of the chronicle are the characters (NPCs or PCs). So, once settled ambient and themes, I start with characters.
It is often better to start with PC (although at this point you sure would have several NPCs in mind, just try not to concrete them too much). This way, you can build the setting around them, opposed to build first the setting and then try to insert PCs in your already defined world. Remember PCs are the protagonists and the world rotates around them. Pay special atention to the Backgrounds, as they are the PCs' connections to the world.
Once you have your PCs, you can start concreting your NPCs. Make connections with the players (sires, friends, rivals,...). Add the ones you also need to treat your themes, and to fulfill your first idea. Make all NPCs of the characters background: they're not only a resource, they're plot seeds.
When creating NPCs have always the ambient in mind.
Your chronicle will have main plot.
Also you will make secondary plots for treating the themes you came about. The best way to make use of themes is having plots based on them, rotating them, and repeating several times.
You will also need to make personal plots for the characters. Base them on their character personality, history and motivations. Listen your players and you will get cool plot ideas. Try linking them with themes.
You will need to make new characters for some plots, or fit the ones you have into the roles the plots demand.
The prelude serves as the presentations of the PCs. Against the books advised, I don't always make them about the embrace. As in vampire fictions, a character prelude can start with him being a vampire. Three things are important:
A chronicle, like any fiction, should have an end. Better to close themes and plots than let the chronicle die by boredom.
I can't give much advice on this, since I many times fail to follow this rule.
And that's all I can think of without getting in much detail. Hope that helps. And read the books, there are a lot of helpful advice.
In my core book, starting at page 17 they have a list of inspirations/sources for Requiem and it's fairly extensive. If you watch/read even a smidgen of the titles listed, I'm sure that the ideas will start pinballing around.
Without more information about your table and your own ST style I can't really give you much more than that.

Ivory Coast and Zambia reach final
Ivory Coast booked their place in the final of the African Nations Cup on Sunday after defeating Mali 1-0 in Libreville.
Ivory Coasts will return to the same venue on Sunday seeking their second title after Arsenal forward Gervinho ran from his own half and slotted home.
The Elephants defence then kept their opponents at bay in the second half to ensure their progression to the final for the third time.
Ivory Coast will be joined by Zambia after substitute Emmanuel Mayuka's goal gave them a surprise 1-0 win over Ghana - one of the favourites to win the tournament.
Ghana forward Asamoah Gyan, whose missed penalty at the 2012 World Cup cost his team a place in the semi-finals, saw his spot kick saved after eighth-minutes at the Estadio de Bata and it was to prove costly once again.
Although the Black Stars dominated the match they struggled to create real chances and Mayuka scored against the run of play in the 78th minute .
Ghana midfielder Derek Boateng was sent off six minutes from time after a second yellow card.

Chelsea youth team midfielder Isak Ssewankambo's participation in the European Under-17 Championship finals has come to an end at the semi-final stage.
The midfielder was representing Sweden at the tournament in Slovakia and played the whole of the group stage - a win over Switzerland and draws against Austria and the host nation.
In the semi-final today (Tuesday) against Russia in Zilina, Ssewankambo went close with an early chance but with the match goalless at full-time, it went straight to what proved a mammoth penalty shoot-out.
Ssewankambo scored the first spot-kick but when everyone had taken one and the result was still not decided it went back to the beginning of the order and the 17-year-old shot over. Russia scored the next penalty to win the shoot-out 10-9 and will play Italy in the final.
This is Ssewankambo's first season at Chelsea and he has made six appearances for our Under-21s and 16 for the youth team.

A serious movie about life that collides head-on into a funny movie about death.
Thanks to folks like you, we reached our Kickstarter goal with 29 hours left! We're grateful to everyone who made this happen. In the remaining time before the campaign ends, we're setting a stretch goal of reaching a total of 350 backers. Increasing the number of backers helps us show the world a broad base of support for the movie and also raises additional funds to help us finish the movie and get it out to the world. Even a $5 pledge will make a difference!
Kyle and Jen, estranged siblings, travel from New York City to rural Pennsylvania to pack up the home of their recently deceased mother. While there, they inadvertently make a shocking discovery that turns their world upside-down.
A PICTURE OF YOU is a heartfelt family drama that bear hugs an unexpected comedy. It's a movie that's genre-bending and smart, but isn't afraid to wear its heart on its sleeve. It's a movie for grownups who are grown up enough to realize that in many ways we'll forever be children. And best of all, THIS FILM HAS BEEN SHOT!
What this movie is NOT, however, is FINISHED.
We raised enough money to get through production, but now we need your help in funding our post-production phase – editing, sound mix, color correction, and visual effects – and to help get the movie to film festivals in 2013. These funds will also lay the groundwork for our digital, VOD, cable, and theatrical distribution.
When I lost my mother to cancer six years ago, I found myself devastated with grief. I couldn't imagine anything worse than a child losing his mother... until I realized that my stepfather had lost his wife, that my aunts and uncles had lost their sister, and that countless others had lost a good friend.
Collectively, we had all loved and lost the same person. But individually, we'd each lost someone who was entirely unique, and we were each left with a set of memories that was ours alone. And even if we could share all these memories, we'd still never have the entire picture of her.
But I realized that not knowing everything about her meant there might always be more to discover. An off-hand anecdote from an aunt, a photograph I hadn't seen, her handwriting on a scrap of paper – all these things were out there waiting to be discovered (or not). It kept her alive in a way I could never have imagined.
Anyone who's lost someone dear to them knows what a roller coaster it can be. You're crushed with sadness even as you laugh uproariously at the good times you shared. I wanted to make a movie that reflects these ups-and-downs in grieving for a loved one. I hope you will join us for the ride.
-J.P. Chan, writer/director
Even before graduating from Juilliard, the multi-talented Jo Mei (Jen, co-story writer) appeared in several of Director J.P. Chan's films and shared story credit on two of them. In J.P.'s films, she has played everything from identical twins, to a new immigrant to America, to a data recovery specialist in the year 2031. After graduation, Jo's been in THE GOOD WIFE and will appear alongside John Cusack and Emma Roberts next year in ADULT WORLD.
J.P. became a fan of Andrew Pang (Kyle) years before they actually met after watching THE CORRUPTOR, in which Andy plays a tough Chinatown cop alongside stars Chow Yun-Fat and Mark Wahlberg. "He was so badass and so real," J.P. recalls. "I hadn't yet picked up a camera at that point but I said to myself, 'If I ever make a movie, I wanna work with him.'" Besides acting, Andy also writes and directs plays and films, edits movies and TV shows, and participates in triathlons. Yeah, he's kind of a high achiever.
J.P. first saw Teyonah Parris (Mika) in a Juilliard School production of August Wilson's JOE TURNER'S COME AND GONE and was blown away by her performance. Since graduating, Teyonah has played Reese Witherspoon's BFF in HOW DO YOU KNOW, starred in J.P.'s short film EMPIRE CORNER, played Dawn Chambers in this season's MAD MEN, and will appear in (at least) three movies next year including ours. Watch anything she's been in to know why she'll be busy like this forever.
We plucked Lucas Dixon (Doug) fresh out of Yale Drama School after hearing incredible things about him in the New York theatre scene. We can't wait to take credit for introducing him to the world – unless of course, some way larger movies beat us to it. You're on, Hollywood!
Anyone who's seen Jodi Long (Mother) in shows like ALL AMERICAN GIRL and movies like BEGINNERS knows she's beautiful, smart, fun, funny, and fearless. But what most people don't know is her ability to casually drop the F-bomb in conversation so frequently and unexpectedly that the listener will always blush. We couldn't think of anyone stronger and more perfect to play Mother. You can watch Jodi tear it up, sans F-bombs, every week in the TBS series SULLIVAN AND SON.
WHERE WE'RE AT and WHY WE NEED YOU
A PICTURE OF YOU is a "microbudget" film. We shot the movie on a shoestring, relying heavily on the generosity and goodwill of countless people who believed in the project. To fund the production, we dipped into savings, gave up vacations and meals out, begged, borrowed, and asked for favors on top of favors to get through our 19 day shoot.
AND WE DID IT. We got a terrific movie in the can for almost exactly the amount we'd raised.
But shooting the movie isn't the same as finishing the movie, and that's why we're here on Kickstarter. We've got a very special and unique film on our hands with a story that touches the heart in a totally unconventional and cool way. With your help, we'll be able to finish A PICTURE OF YOU and get it out to the world. Thank you!

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
We're editing the film right now and it all looks and sounds pretty great both aesthetically and technically, so in the post-production phase there's no risks or challenges that we foresee. For our distribution, the risk is that we may have limited festival or theatrical screenings which would only delay some rewards related to premiere events.

August 2013
Elizabeth Galloway showed an exceptional determination to make The L'Auberge experience one of pure perfection. Her character and willingness to provide the ultimate experience lead us to a very organized and "spot on" day of events. She continued to go above and beyond the call of responsibilities.
August 2013
We love you to no end, the entire weekend was perfect with Sunday being breathtaking...we were overwhelmed with the beauty of the tables & truly the flowers were more than I had hoped for.
July 2013
Krissie was exceptional. Her communication with us was prompt and courteous. Krissie's recommendations for vendors according to our request could not have been more precise. Krissie's and her assistants the day of the wedding are what we attribute the day being so exceptionally perfect.
April 2013
Everything was perfect. I plan to write another letter as it could not have gone better, exceeded all expectations and we all know, that was because of you, Adele. You are very talented at what you do.
March 2013
Krissie, our wedding coordinator, was the absolute best. She made everything amazingly easy and really helped make our wedding great!
October 2012
Thank you for making my wedding so perfect! I cannot send enough thanks to all who made this happen. Krissie Simek, our wedding coordinator, was absolutely amazing. She got EVERY detail right and did everything with a smile on her face. I am so lucky to have her share in our special day.
October 2012
We looked at several venues and L'Auberge was by far the most accommodating. Every question we asked Trese was answered with a "Yes, we sure can do that!" or "We normally don't do that, but let me talk with some people and see what I can do". This made our decision to have the event at L'Auberge a VERY easy one. We are so grateful for everything that Trese and Alison did to make this wedding PERFECT.
October 2012
Adele, you were absolutely wonderful. The wedding was perfect and the best night of our lives! Thank you! I could not have dreamed of a better time. Our guests raved about everything, especially the food. It was outstanding.
August 2012
Krissie Simek is the most incredible person I could imagine working with for our wedding. I would not hesitate to personally tell every bride thinking of working with L'Auberge how incredible Krissie is at her job. Weddings are more than flowers and vows. It can be a frenetic emotional roller coaster… Krissie quelled all of the moments of panic and stress and made the wedding so much more fun and happy than it would have been without her. Seriously, this girl is incredible. Kind, caring, genuine, organized beyond my wildest imagination and listened and translated all of my ideas into reality! I couldn't be happier.
July 2012
Thank you for everything… Alison and Adele were excellent and there for us every step of the way. We could not have had such a beautiful wedding without them!
June 2012
Krissie provided OUTSTANDING customer service. We were extremely pleased with her service and attention to our event. She was always professional and very timely with her communication and follow through. We owe the outcome of our event to her extreme attention to detail.

Comments about 2013-W 1/10 oz Proof Gold American Eagle PR-70 PCGS First Strike:
Here's why I shop at APMEX, and would highly recommend them to anyone.
If you like bullion, you can try other dealers, and you might be able to save a couple bucks on a few items, but you won't like the customer service, or the limited selections.
However, at APMEX, the customer service is 5 star, and the bullion prices are competitive with anyone. But what makes them great is that they have thousands of items, not just a few.
Like this PR70 Gold Eagle I just bought. Collectible, high quality, and rare items can be found here at APMEX, and at much better values than the competition. Combine that with the exceptional customer service, and that's why I keep coming back.
Thank you APMEX

U. of Charleston considers building townhouses
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - University of Charleston officials are considering building upscale townhouses along the Kanawha River.
President Ed Welch says the university would sell the townhouses but lease the land to the owners.
Welch tells the Charleston Gazette (http://bit.ly/16aS80x) that the project would provide revenue for the university. It also would improve the riverfront property.
University officials originally had proposed building two condominium buildings on the property. But that plan was shelved in 2009 after the economy soured.
Welch says that the stock market has rebounded and there's renewed interest in housing on the property.

Kings R1: Gelfand and Nisipeanu win
Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu made headlines in the local newspapers after beating Teimour Radjabov in the first round of the Kings Tournament in Medias, Romania. Carlsen and Ponomariov drew relatively quickly, and Boris Gelfand defeated Wang Yue in the longest game of the round. Games annotated by GM Dorian Rogozenco & videos with comments by all six players!
The fourth Kings Tournament takes place in Medias, Romania from June 14 till 25. Against it's a 6-player, double round-robin, with two rest days. This year Carlsen, Gelfand, Nisipeanu, Ponomariov, Radjabov and Wang Yue play. The rate of play is 2 hours for the first 40 moves, one hour for the next 20 moves and then 15 minutes plus an increment of 30 seconds per move.
The rounds start each day at 15.30 which is 14.30 CET and 08.30 EDT. They can run well into the evening, as we won't see ultra-short draws in this tournament - no draw agreement by the players are allowed before move 30, except for cases of a triple-repetition, a perpetual or a theoretically drawn position.
The event is organized by Romgaz and the Chess Club Society "Elisabeta Polihroniade". This year the tournament is officially part of the Grand Slam, substituting the cancelled MTel Masters. Venue is the brand new Romgaz Center in Medias (near Bazna), but the organizers are considering to move back to Hotel Complex Balnear Expro in Bazna (where everyone is staying) after the rest day, because they fear the daily, half-an-hour ride to Medias (and back) might prove too uncomfortable.
ChessVibes will be at the tournament from start to finish, providing videos for the official website:
Round 1
On the first playing day the temperature was again well above 30 degrees Celcius and this could be felt at the venue. Naturally there is airco, but somehow this seemed to work better in the press room (thus far only occupied by press officer GM Dorian Rogozenco and yours truly) than in the playing hall. Ruslan Ponomariov could be found in the slightly cooler corridor often during the game, and in fact the Ukrainian was happy to be able to draw as soon as move 30 was reached. Carlsen "did notice it was a bit warmer than usual" but wasn't much affected, he said.
Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu started well, with a nice victory over Teimour Radjabov, who played too much "on intuition", as he said after the game. Nisipeanu thought 21...f5 was "too ambitious" and he basically decided the game by the strong concept 23.Bxc6! and 24.f4, which left Black with a bad bishop and a bad structure.
Gelfand continued his strong form which he showed last week in Leon (though he's still playing "game by game", as he said afterwards), and played the best game of the round. It looked like Wang Yue had put up an impenetrable middlegame fortress, but in fact White's way to break through with taking on h7 and g6 could't be prevented according to Gelfand. He didn't look at 50.Nxc6, which wins quicker, because he had correctly evaluated the endgame as technically winning.

Nice game by Gelfand ! I like Nh8. It would be nice if GM Rogozenco could elaborate with a few words on the way that Gelfand should win the final position in his commentary. I assume that he has to take his king all the way back around the kingside to shift the black knight.
3 years 10 months ago
I think Gelfand just exchanges his g pawn for the black knight with Nf7, Nh6, f8Q

interesting computer line in the Gelfand game but I can see why he didnt go for it. With Queens on the board swindle chances are around and bad bishop his line is definitely easier to maintain control in.

Immunotherapy has the potential to treat almost any type of cancer. Learn how we are making this a reality for more patients sooner.
Cancer patients, donors, scientists, and other supporters all stand behind the Cancer Research Institute. Read their stories and learn about what motivates each of us to keep fighting against cancer.
Have a creative idea for a fundraiser you'd like to host to benefit cancer research? Or are you seeking ideas for how you can help us achieve our mission to conquer all cancers? Get inspired by our ideas and tips.
We gratefully accept donations made in memory or in honor of a loved one. Your gift will be acknowledged to whomever you specify.
Numerous challenges can derail progress in finding new immune-based cancer treatments. We're solving some of the biggest challenges, keeping promising new immunotherapies on the fast track to patients.
Cancer patients are now beginning to benefit from advances in cancer immunotherapy. Watch this story of hope and survival, and be inspired to help us conquer cancer.
Browse our directory of scientific leaders who volunteer their time and expertise to help ensure that we fund the most innovative and promising research possible.
We here at Cancer Research Institute recognize that further advancement in the field of cancer immunotherapy research depends on increased public understanding of the enormous power of the immune system and its connection to cancer.
To help build that critical understanding, we have prepared this guide, which answers a number of commonly asked questions about cancer, the immune system, and the latest trends in immunotherapy.
In the first chapter, the reader is introduced to the concept of cancer as the defining term for a panoply of diseases underpinned by two common features. This chapter ends with an introduction to the human immune system and how its normal function and cancer prevention are inextricably linked. We move on to chapter 2 for a discussion of the immune system thus setting the stage for the introduction of immunotherapy in chapter 3.
The next three chapters (4-6) constitute a tour de force into almost every form of currently available immunotherapeutic regimens and how they are faring in worldwide clinical trials. The seventh chapter is full of hope: reminding us of how far we have come and how much further we must travel on this exhilarating but arduous journey of battling cancer. The remainder of the book provides a brief look at the techniques behind the progress we have made in this field of biomedical science.

What Global Warming Means for Oregon
Scientists in Oregon and across the U.S. warn that global warming will bring extreme weather, more dangerous smog pollution and even the extinction of some plants and animals. The good news is that we know how to cut the carbon pollution fueling the problem—and Oregon is already headed in the right direction. But there is still more to be done.
HIGHLIGHT: In the Path of the Storm
Four out of five Americans live in areas hit by recent weather-related disasters. Check out our interactive online map showing, county-by-county, which weather-related disasters hit when. Then tell the Obama administration you want strong carbon pollution limits on power plants.

Erectile dysfunction (ED)—also known as male impotence—is a condition in which a man either cannot have an erection or cannot sustain an erection long enough to finish having sex. Houston Methodist's urology services team offers patients many treatment options for ED, including hormone therapy and specially designed penile implants to increase function.
What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
While getting older can affect a man's ability to achieve and sustain an erection to some degree, erectile dysfunction is not a natural part of aging. It can be caused by many different factors, including:
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries)
- Stress, anxiety or depression
- Alcohol and tobacco use
- Some prescription medications
- Fatigue
- Brain or spinal-cord injuries
- Hypogonadism (the body doesn't produce enough testosterone)
- Multiple sclerosis
- Parkinson's disease
- Radiation therapy to the testicles
- Stroke
- Prior prostate or bladder surgery
- Trauma

- A person receiving notice of a Parking or Traffic Violation is required to report to the Business Office within ten (10) school days to pay the fees levied against him/her. Tickets not paid within ten (10) school days are subject to an additional penalty equal to the amount of the ticket. Students and employees are responsible for all traffic violations made by a vehicle displaying a hangtag issued to the student or employee. If you lend your car, proper operation of the vehicle is still your responsibility. If you transfer ownership of your car, remove the parking hangtag or you will be responsible for violations committed by the new owner.
- Pulaski Technical College Police/Public Safety Officers maintain the right, as prescribed by law, to issue uniform traffic citations for any operator or vehicle violation committed within their jurisdiction.
Any person who feels that his or her vehicle has been unjustly ticketed may appeal. Appeals must be received within 10 business days after the issuance of the ticket or the right to appeal is forfeited. All appeals of parking violations will be considered with respect to the current PTC parking policy. To file an appeal, obtain an appeal form from Student Services, and complete the form in detail, or go to the web site at www.pulaskitech.edu Police & Public Safety link to access the form. The appeal form should be submitted to the Office of Admissions and Records. The Student Appeals Committee reviewing the parking appeals will meet monthly, usually the last week of each month. Municipal traffic citations may not be appealed to the college.
The following are typically not accepted as valid extenuating circumstances for parking in violation of parking regulations.
An appeal based on how long you were parked in violation. Public Safety Officers will issue a citation to any vehicle parked in violation of regulations. An appeal that states that the vehicle was only parked for two minutes, five minutes, etc. is not considered valid. A parking restriction holds for parking for any period of time.
An appeal based on your need to get to class/work/an appointment on time. It typically requires a few minutes to locate a parking space within the campus parking system. It is suggested that drivers plan their schedules such that there is sufficient time to find and park in a legal space.
An appeal based on lack of a parking space near your destination. Parking spaces are very competitive, and the campus parking system doesn't guarantee a space in a specific lot. Drivers must park in a legal space in a valid lot space.
An appeal based on the assertion that class wasn't in session. Parking regulations are enforced throughout the entire calendar year and are not directly associated with the class schedule.
An appeal of a restricted/prohibited violation during evening or weekend hours. All parking restrictions and prohibitions are enforced during normal college hours, seven days per week.
An appeal based on the assertion that the driver did not see the sign or line markings. It is the driver's responsibility to note and comply with all posted signage, notices, and line markings.
An appeal based on the assertion that the driver forgot his/her college permit. Drivers must display a permit in order to park legally in faculty/staff, donor reserved and all open parking.
An appeal based on a vehicle malfunction. Drivers who experience a vehicle malfunction and cannot move their vehicle should contact the Department of Public Safety for assistance. Short-term authorization to remain parked may be received for the Department of Public Safety. Four-way flashers are designed to warn other motorists that your vehicle may be a hazard. Use of four-way flashers does not allow you to park illegally for any period of time.

Secret World praised over Christmas rescues
5:20pm Tuesday 31st December 2013 in News
A SEDGEMOOR veterinary hospital has been praised for helping injured wildlife over Christmas.
On the evening of Christmas Day, a report came into Secret World Wildlife Rescue that a badger had been hit by a car in Street and was struggling to get away.
Luckily, a member of the public stayed with it until one of the charity's response drivers collected it and took it to the Quantock Veterinary Hospital in Bristol Road, Bridgwater.
Secret World founder Pauline Kidner said: "Despite it nearly being midnight the vet was on hand to assess the badger before it came to Secret World.
"The badger's now receiving supportive care and hopefully will return home when it's better."
Another Secret World response driver was called out on Boxing Day to a swan which had nose-dived on to a road.
Pauline said: "We think the swan just has bruising and should be able to return to the lake near the road where he was found.
"I'm so proud of our staff and volunteers who, no matter what time of day or night, are prepared to turn out and save wildlife.
"I'd also like to praise the Quantock Veterinary Hospital – they're always there when we need them."

Towns report most building permits issued in Conn. since 2008
|This home under construction in the Recko Farms subdivision in Southington in April 2012 was sold before it was completed by Lovley Development Inc. More than 4,000 building permits were issued in Connecticut last year, the most since 2008. Laraine Weschler, Republican-American
Connecticut's home building industry continued to show signs of improved health in December, as the number of building permits issued for new housing units more than doubled in the state for the month.
December's high level of activity capped a busy year in which cities and towns across the state issued 46 percent more building permits than they did in 2011, according to a report released Tuesday by the state Department of Economic and Community Development.

Includes 38,000 Acres of Designated Wilderness Lands
WESTERN SAN JUANS – Last week, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) introduced a bill designed to protect more than 100,000 acres of the Hermosa Creek Watershed in the San Juan National Forest north of Durango. The bill includes the designation of 38,000 of those acres as federally protected wilderness lands.
Introduced on Wednesday, July 18, the bill would establish a long-term management plan based on recommendations from the Hermosa Creek River Protection Working group, which is comprised of diverse stakeholders including local water officials, conservationists, sportsmen, mountain bikers, off-road vehicle users, outfitters, property owners, grazing permit holders, and other interested citizens.
"The Hermosa Creek Watershed Protection Act governs the entire 108,000-acre watershed and includes provisions to allow for multiple uses like timber harvesting for forest health, access and trails for off-trail vehicles and more mountain bikers," Bennet said during the bill's introduction. "The bill also adds nearly 40,000 acres to the national wilderness preservation system – lands that provide unique and important opportunities for solitude and reflection. Lands that will remain undeveloped forever, so they'll always have clear streams to fish and lush forests for an outfitter to take clients into the wilderness on horseback."
The bill, which is cosponsored by U.S. Sen. Mark Udall (D-Colo.), would designate roughly 108,000 acres of San Juan National Forest land as the Hermosa Creek Watershed Protection Area. Much of the land would remain open to all historic uses of the forest under the bill, including mountain biking, motorized recreation, selective timber harvesting and grazing.
In accordance with the consensus recommendations of the Hermosa Creek Workgroup, roughly 38,000 acres of the watershed would be set aside as wilderness, to be managed in accordance with The Wilderness Act of 1964. No roads or mineral development are permitted in wilderness areas; while hunting, fishing, horseback riding and non-mechanized recreation are allowed. The Wilderness Act also contains several provisions to provide for active land management in wilderness areas as necessary to control wildfires, insect infestations and disease outbreaks.
Finally, at the request of the Durango City Council, the bill would protect Animas Mountain and Perins Peak near Durango from future federal mineral leasing.
"The residents of Durango support Senator Bennet's legislation to protect Hermosa Creek in a way that respects the variety of interests in our community," said Durango City Councilor Christina Rinderle in a statement released by Bennet's staff. "We especially appreciate the inclusion in this bill of a provision the City of Durango formally requested to put our cherished local icons Animas Mountain and Perins Peak off limits to oil and gas development."
Other supporters of the bill include La Plata and the San Juan boards of county commissioners, the International Mountain Biking Association and The Durango Herald editorial board.
"I am pleased to carry this bill on behalf of the people of Colorado and especially proud because this was a community-driven process at its very finest, through and through, from beginning to end," Bennet said. "Colorado wrote this bill. This bill wasn't written in Washington, D.C. The bill has grown from the grass roots up. Republicans, Democrats and independents working together to cement a long-term plan for the community's future."

The Division of Youth Corrections (DYC) provides residential services to detained and committed youth in either State operated secure programs, State owned private operated programs, or private contract placements.
State Operated Facilities
Contract Facilities
The Division of Youth Corrections is responsible for State operated detention and for privately contracted staff-secure detention. Four State owned and operated facilities serve only detention youth; the Gilliam Youth Services Center in Denver, the Adams Youth Services Center in Brighton, the Pueblo Youth Services Center in Pueblo and the Marvin W. Foote Youth Services Center in Englewood. Four secure State operated facilities are multi-purpose, serving detention and committed youth. These four facilities include the Platte Valley, Grand Mesa, and Spring Creek facilities, as well as the Mount View Youth Services Center in Denver.
Two of the Division of Youth Corrections secure facilities, Lookout Mountain Youth Services Center and Zeb Pike Youth Services Center, serve committed youth exclusively. These programs are designed to treat the highest risk, highest need committed males. The Division also operates four multi-purpose facilities that, in addition to acting as juvenile detention facilities, provide longer term treatment to committed youth.
Colorado contracts with private providers to operate three State owned facilities, the Ridge View Youth Services Center, the Betty K. Marler Youth Services Center and the Robert E. Denier Youth Services Center. Ridge View is a 500 bed open campus designed to operate with an academic/vocational focus. The Betty Marler program is a 40 bed program for the Division's highest risk and highest need girls. Robert E. Denier is a multi-purpose facility located in Durango. The program provides detention and treatment for committed boys and girls.
DYC contracts with a variety of private providers for community programs that range from staff-secure treatment programs to foster homes licensed through the State. Placement alternatives include TRCCF level (Therapeutic Residential Child Care Facilities), RCCF (Residential Child Care Facilities), Group home and foster homes. These programs act both as initial treatment programs and as transition placements for youth moving from more secure settings. In addition, these programs may also focus on specific populations or the provision of specific services, such as treating youth with high mental health needs, pregnant girls, or youth transitioning to independent living.

On Thursday, March 15th at 3pm we had our ultrasound and got the big news! There was absolutely no guessing, our little man isn't shy at all :) With our new knowledge in hand, my sister, Hannah, and I began the preparation.
We had two significant details to plan 1) gender reveal packages that were to be mailed to our far away families and 2) the actual party which was planned for Saturday. Our first round of errands revolved around the packages - they had to get into the mail ASAP so aunts and uncles weren't waiting too long for the surprise. We shopping Target and Dollar Store for all things blue and boy related. Here's what we came up with ...
We also scanned our boy's sweet profile picture and backed it in blue to lay on the very top of the package.
By Thursday night, packages were addressed and ready for the post office. First thing on Friday, we popped them in the mail and began our party prep! I had planned to focus our food around either blueberries or strawberries depending on the gender ... and we were gung-ho on pulling together the details of our BLUEBERRY BRUNCH!
Food consisted of pecan praline french toast and blueberry french toast (from the same recipe, just with blueberries instead of pecans and blueberry syrup), yogurt with blueberries and blueberry granola, hash browns, sausage, coffee, milk, and grape juice (closest to blue we could find)!
We added blue ribbon around a mason jar to prop utensils in and found royal blue napkins and plates at Target. For a little extra blue I found half gallon milk in a blue container and we had French Vanilla coffee creamer since the bottle is blue.
I had grand plans of an outdoor announcement, but the Pacific Northwest had other ideas with threats of a downpour, so we stuck inside and made due.
The votes were about split between blue and pink shirts as you can see. Dominic, Hannah, and I were all in basic black and white so we wouldn't give off any hints to our guests :)

I'm SO excited to welcome a little man into our family! I had my worries in the beginning, but have been genuinely happy ever since we found out. A little man will be such a blessing to our family and I'll try to be the best mama to a boy that I can be!
