Love how this team put the game away. Several young rising stars already showing
NBA potential. Delon is one of the front runners for PAC 12 player of the year.
Let's hope that he stays around long enough to lead the Utes to greatness
before he goes to the pros.
Sammyg, Block U baby!

Much improved bench play the last two games. Still need to put away at the end
of the 1st half, but great to see Onwas, Ogbe, and others improve and take
pressure off Wright, Taylor, and Loveridge.
Need a road win next week! If we could split in LA heading into a 3-game home stand, it could really help them possibly get into a postseason tourney.
Go Utes!

6 Utes in double figure scoring is a good stat. The opponent wasn't great, but getting on a streak is never unwelcome, regardless of the opponents. SC is a tougher team at home, and is giving all they can against their crosstown rivals right now, but are certainly beatable. Offensive play like the last road game and rebounding efforts like the last two games will both be needed to pick up the first, and hopefully second, road win(s) of the season next week.

Now the only question that I want answered is can they win one road game this
BYU has beat more pac 10.2 teams on the road this year than utah has.

I'm a Ute fan, but this record still won't get them to the NIT let alone the "Big Dance". Maybe next year with the talent they are bringing in.

Now, go and hit the road, get a W or two and build on that momentum through the final stretch of league play.

Congratulations ute fans, you got some badly needed revenge against your new
rival... Oh wait, I forgot the Buffs are your new rival... It's all so
confusing, hard to tell the 3 teams apart (y'all have a bunch in common in
both football and basketball (now that Colorado is stinking it up without
Dinwiddle)... So if I say Washington State or Colorado just figure that I mean
the utes as well...
The title of the story though really bags the question "If you are 16-1 at home and your total record is 16-7, how many road games have the utes won? It also raises the question to those who are not so good at math...How many total Road Games have you had??? lol.

Winning breeds confidence and its appears the Utes got bucketfuls of them now.
I'm sure it feels great to avenged their previous losses to the W schools.
Wins have not come easy for them on the road so far but I wouldn't count
them out yet. Hope they'll turn the corner this next road trip against the
Trojans and the Bruins. Tough order but not at all impossible for them. Not a
fan but I still root for them when not playing us.
Good luck Utes!

Joe Schmoe says BYU has beaten more pac 10.2 teams on the road than utah has, but he doesn't quite finish the sentence, now does he. Let me help if I can. "Ahem...unfortunately one of the pac 10.2 teams they didn't beat on the road--in fact, got schooled by on the road were (wait for it) why, none other than those very same Utes! But let's pretend that never happened."

If the Utes were capable of winning a conference road game, they might have a
chance at the NIT.
Unfortunately, a 19-12 record, 7-11 in the conference, with only 17 D-1 wins and winless on the road, isn't going to impress any of the NIT, let alone, the NCAA selection committees.

Credit the Utes, who have enough talent to win games in SLC. Now if the Utes
can just figure out how to win on the road.
I still think if the Utes would have played a couple more MWC, on the road, in pre-season, it would have helped immensely in league play.

Good that we were able to hold home court. It's critical that we win at
USC next week, a split next week will be big for this young team.
We need Loveridge to continue shooting like he has the last two games 11/13 (84%). Taylor is also stepping up his game. The question is can they continue it on the road. Hope so!
Again, Utah has one less road win than BYU's total wins in 1996-1997 (1-25).

Call for government reorganization opens new doors
In his State of the Union address, President Barack Obama said winning the future will take doing what we can do now to prepare the United States to compete in the global economy for decades. That entails education, innovation, competition, fiscal responsibility, deficit reduction, and reforms in our government to make it more effective, efficient and open to the people. As Obama put it, "We cannot win the future with a government of the past."
The president's statement and his call "to merge, consolidate and reorganize the federal government in a way that will…meet the challenges of the 21st century" seemed to catch some in the White House by surprise. The day after the speech, former Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wasn't able to come up with any details or say who would lead the effort. However, by the following Sunday, the White House had rallied, and Deputy Director for Management/Chief Performance Officer Jeffrey Zients was named to lead the reorganization effort. Lisa Brown, assistant to the president and staff secretary, will work with Zients.
The Wall Street Journal reported that the White House is considering combining a set of agencies involved in trade and exports. It noted a report by the Center for American Progress, a Democratic think tank, that suggested creating a Department of Business, Trade and Technology that would include much of the Commerce Department. Folded in would be the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Small Business Administration and the Export-Import Bank.
But if the effort merely involves moving boxes, redrawing lines, or consolidating overlapping or duplicative programs, then Paul Light of New York University would have hit the nail on the head when he said, "We will have missed a once-in-a-generation opportunity for comprehensive reform."
The federal government is undergoing tremendous changes on many levels, driven by a number of forces.
Any one of those factors would be a major driver for government. But their convergence creates a unique opportunity for our nation.
No new model has yet emerged for that "Fortune One" company, the federal government. This much, though, is clear: It will need to be flexible, agile, able to quickly adjust and ruthless in reallocating resources. Power and decision-making will need to be pushed down the organization as much as possible rather than concentrated at the top.
Traditional bureaucratic structures will need to be replaced by ad hoc teams of peers who come together to tackle projects and then disband. Information gathering will be broader and more inclusive. New mechanisms will be necessary to harness the wisdom of crowds. Feedback loops will need to be built that allow services to constantly evolve in response to new information.
Change, innovation and adaptability all have to become the norm. Such comprehensive reform thinking would more likely produce the 21st-century government that Obama called for in his address to the nation. Although the state of the union might be strong, I don't think we can say the same about our government.

U.S. taxpayers could be stuck with a tab more than double its current size for subsidized mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, a government regulator said Thursday.
If housing prices drop through 2013, the bailed-out lenders will need another $215 billion to stay afloat, for a total bill of $363 billion. Some $148 billion has been spent so far to keep them in the black during the worst recession since the Great Depression.
The fully government-owned agencies own masses of U.S. mortgages that have dropped in value amid the housing crisis.
Even under the rosiest scenario of housing price appreciation, Fannie and Freddie will need another $73 billion of government money, for a total bailout of $221 billion, The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) said.
In a moderate growth environment, Fannie and Freddie would receive $90 billion more, for a total of $238 billion from the Treasury.
The projections were released after The Wall Street Journal reported the FHFA hired a law firm specializing in litigation as the agency considers how to move forward with efforts to recoup billions of dollars on soured mortgage-backed securities.

Cloud Computing
For some people, cloud computing is still a mystery dogged by questions of security and value, but advice from successful users at federal agencies can help demystify the technology.
It can indeed be the cost-effective, life-altering technology it is billed as for federal agencies, said Joe Klimavicz, CIO and director of high-performance computing and communications at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. But maximizing cloud benefits requires users to focus equally on governance, architecture, requirements, security, acquisition and deployment.
"It doesn't take much to move to a cloud solution anymore," Klimavicz told several hundred attendees at the 2013 Federal Cloud Innovation Forum on Oct. 22 presented by IBM, FCW and GCN. "But you want to maximize your investment through the cloud."
Klimavicz recounted lessons learned in the past several years at NOAA and described why the six factors cited above are vital to a cloud project's success.
Agencies need to discuss governance, he said, because "you have to have policies and procedures in place" for managing the cloud. Rules don't have to be set in stone, but data ownership -- who has control of what -- can be a major problem, especially in large agencies.
Klimavicz said agencies must ensure that cloud architecture "integrates and plays well" with legacy systems, and that potential problem can often be avoided by savvy requirements listed in a request for proposals (RFP). An agency's requirements are especially important because it is a lot harder to change specs after a contract is signed, he added.
Security often goes hand in hand with requirements, but he recommended that agencies take advantage of existing cloud security regulations, particularly the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program.
Addressing acquisition specifically, Klimavicz said agencies are only as good as their weakest link. If a specific technology procurement doesn't fit well with others, it can be problematic and potentially not worth the risk. He also advised against excessive customization.
"It's tempting, but I want to see cloud solutions deployed within six months after I sign the contract," Klimavicz said. "If that's not done, there's something wrong there."
Once you've got the technology set, deployment is the final piece of the cloud procurement puzzle, but it requires a lot more than just the click of a button. Klimavicz recommended creating a project plan and a marketing plan to outline how you are going to market the project to corporate leadership, complete with key performance indicators that -- if done properly -- were already included in the cloud contract.
Those kinds of plans promote the executive support necessary for the "huge change management" that cloud computing provides.
"You need strong executive sponsorship and leadership because people will complain and have issues," Klimavicz said.

Fern Walters[8] is a third grade student in Mr. Ratburn's class at Lakewood Elementary. She is generally viewed as a quiet girl with a love of poetry and mysteries.
Because of her shy personality, her mother, Doria Walters, often signs her up for various activities to get her involved in social gatherings with peers. Fern herself sometimes thinks that she is too quiet, once referring to herself as "invisible".[9] Although Fern is shy, when something goes wrong she will speak her mind on behalf of what she believes to be the right thing.
Fern is well known as a talented and realistic raconteur, especially when it comes to horror and mystery stories. She loves solving mysteries, and once solved a real mystery in the episode "Fern's Slumber Party." Fern is also talented musically. She is a great singer and can perform music from several genres, such as rock (as seen in Arthur, It's Only Rock and Roll), or pop, which we see in Phony Fern. She plays the flute and is in the school band with Arthur and his friends. Her favorite authors are Agatha Christie, Mary Shelley, and Persimmony Glitchet. Fern's favorite books are the Sherlock Holmes mysteries and Frankenstein's Monster.
Physical appearance
Fern is an anthropomorphic dog with tanish gray fur. She is usually seen wearing a long sleeved purple blouse with yellow buttons, matching it with yellow pants and brown loafers. She always wears a bow on her head, usually bright red, but it sometimes is another color to go with a different outfit.
Alternate apparel
She also wears a light purple night gown with dark purple linings and the occasional winter wear consisting of a dark pink top with a black skirt. She is also seen wearing a karate uniform. She also wears a purple mailot with a red collar.
Fern is depicted as introverted and quiet at first, worried about mixing with her peers. As Binky says in "I'm a Poet", Fern "never says anything". However, following that episode, she starts to become involved more socially with her friends, interacting with them and helping some of them with their problems.
One of Fern's most notable talents is her flair and aptitude for writing poetry and stories, which was first highlighted in "I'm a Poet" and strengthened in "Fernlets by Fern" and "Fern and Persimmony Glitchet". In addition, Fern also has a great deal of imagination, helping her write very good stories. As evidenced, she has a quick wit for playing tricks, and on one occasion she fooled even Brain into believing a yarn concerning giant worms in "War of the Worms".
However, some of Fern's major flaws stem from her stubbornness and headstrong attitude, which can be very trying to others at times and can potentially lead to arguments, including a particularly venomous altercation with Francine.
Fern also has a small talent for acting, as seen in "No Acting, Please". She is midfielder for Lakewood Elementary Soccer Team.
Future Life
If the intro to the episode, "The Election", really happens, she will be either be President Muffy's running mate or a member of her party.
Fern has a small family, consisting of her mother and father. Her mother first appears in "Fern's Slumber Party" and her father appears in the episode "Phony Fern", but is also first mentioned in the former.
- Doria Walters - As Fern's mother, she persistently encourages Fern to join new groups in order to make friends and become more socially active. She also worries that Fern is too quiet, and generally worries about her in this regard. She refers to Fern as "Ferny" sometimes.
- Mr. Walters - As Fern's father, he is a very kind, caring and cautious person. He loves his family very much, but sometimes he worries about Fern's safety, so he gave her a cell phone in "Phony Fern". He is also good at computers, and has even taught Fern some things about them.
- Sue Ellen Armstrong - Fern and Sue Ellen are often seen together in the backgrounds of some scenes. They become better friends when they both make a pact in the episode "Popular Girls", and they are seen running around (in the background) in the episode "Mr. Alwaysright." They also give each other advice, as seen in "Sue Ellen and the Brainasaurous".
- Muffy Crosswire - Fern and Muffy become good friends when they both have the same cell phone, the Portilex-360. However, things might have changed when Fern downgrades to a simpler phone. They still seem to be portrayed as close friends in the later seasons, as they are seen watching a movie and auditioning for the same part in a play. Otherwise, in the earlier seasons, they seem to not interact, if at all.
- Francine Frensky - They are not friends at first because Francine sees Fern as a boring person, based on her thoughts on Fern in the episodes I'm a Poet, Draw!, and Fern's Slumber Party. Despite this, they seem to confide in each other and appreciate the same type of stories. Fern was partnered up Francine in "Fernfern and the Secret of Moose Mountain". Despite their differences they were able work together to get to the top of the mountain. They seem to have become friends in later seasons.
- George Lundgren - Fern and George are seen role-playing in the "Phony Fern" and "The Case of the Girl with the Long Face" and also seen with George at the episode "The Return of the King". In the earlier seasons, when they were used as background characters, they were often seen together with Jenna.
Fern is considered to be friends with all of the main kids in Lakewood Elementary, as she is seen with them on many occasions.
- There is some confusion over when Fern's birthday is. In Arthur, It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, it is revealed that Fern is a Libra, meaning that her birthday is between September 23 - October 22, but in "Dad's Dessert Dilemma," it is implied that her birthday is shortly after February 15th, Galileo's birthday.
- Fern spoke for the first time in the episode 'Arthur and the True Francine', when she asks Muffy, at one of her sleepovers, if she has ever lied before.
- In the episode 'I'm a Poet', she can be seen getting angry at Francine for mocking her. Later she yells 'QUIET!!' when everyone said they can write poetry. After she yells you can hear a car alarm go off.
- She doesn't have a visible hairstyle like the rest of the girls.
- Fern doesn't have an uncle. [10]
- According to Muffy in Surprise! Fern is a handwriting expert.

2004 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sedan C240 Rwd 4dr Sedan (2.6L 6cyl 5A)
This car is very unreliable. Something is always breaking down. The electric wiring is messed up. First the car shut off on the freeway-no reason. Then the trunk broke and would not lock, speakers went out, then the lighter went out so I can't charge my phone during driving. Then the brake lights have been going out on & off since I've had it. Finally my drivers side lock went out -causing the alarm to go off while driving and while parked. I've been a fool and taken it in to the Arcadia dealership to be fixed which has only cost thousands of dollars. This last estimate ~$700 for a $125 part. They told me their technicians are trained that's why they charge so much. please! Never buy Mercedes. :(
the color
pretty much everything. And if they want to keep selling their vehicles they need to take some classes from HONDA, that car was actually reliable
Car was not prpared properly. and pulled to the right, Dealer said he could not repair the alignment unless the customer complained. Several item, such as the automatic tempeature control not working--it was not calibrated at the factory. The automatic transmission leaked because a gasket was used that was not compatble with the fluit. The proper gasket was of a different color and the situation could have been corrected while the car was in for service. MBUSA told me that they do not repair it until it actually leaks. Remember we have a situstion here where we know it WILL LEAK it is only a question of when. For a company like Mercedes, this shure is a lousy attitude, Next car: BMW
Good ride and handling. Today, on a 200 mile trip I averaged 29.3 mpg
Better quatlity. Eats tires. Need to get top management at Benz more involved.
This car is amazing in every way. This car has great stability, the steering is very comunative. It responds very good on emergency handling. The ride is comfortable on long trips and it gets good mileage. The bi- xenon lights make the car looks like a beast (in a good way) when you look at it. The trunk is good but not like my wifes E320(great car also). And it also brakes good
The responsive driving, braking comfort everything!!
A little more room in the back seat for tall people, everything else leave it like it is!!
My car is C240 Elegantmodel 2001. The
troubles I had with this car were:
After one year I had to change the
original battery. After driving 30,000
km only, had to change the very
expensive controlers M 209 545 07 01
and M 203 820 15 85. After a total of
40,000 km I had to change again very
expensive parts: the pedal complet
sensor M 203 300 01 04 and the oxigen
sensor M 001 540 46 17.
DaimlerChrysler AG70546 Stuttgart
(Möhringen)Germany, the manufacturer,
avoided replying to my complains and
directed me to the dealer.
My c240 is a 2002.Great car for the
price.An affordable luxury car with a
lot of amenities. The c240 runs and
rides like cars of a bigger size. The
mileage is excellent, as I have
attained 23/24 mpg city and a
surprising 32 mpg highway. The 240
takes turns and curves with ease and is
very smooth. The engine is highly
responsive when the demand is put upon
it.After owning this car for 2.5 years,
it is like getting into a new car every
time. Would not hesitate purchasing
this product again.
The automatic "tap" shift is simple and
reactive. The electronics are very
stable and reliable. Gives all the
information than might be needed.A fun
car to drive.The warranty is very
generous and the service I have
received has been impeccable.
The only item on my "wish" list would
be a larger trunk or a fold-down back
seat as standard.

Where Madoff's $50 Billion Went
The Ponzi schemer was obsessed with pork sausages, cigars, and Neil Diamond.
Julia Fenwick became close with "lovely uncle Bernie" and his niece Shana in the eight years she worked as the office manager of the Madoff Securities London office. But in the wake of her old boss's confession he was running a giant Ponzi scheme, their friendship has, it seems, unraveled: Not only did Berns neglect to pay her any severance with other people's money, not one person from America has even called to find out how she's doing (she's pregnant, poor, and pissed off, thank you very much). So Julia did the only thing she could: She sold the family down the river by giving a long, detailed interview to Britain's Daily Mail, one that presents as clear a picture of Madoff's personal spending habits as we've seen so far. After the jump, we break down how he spent his ill-gotten gains.
Foodstuffs: Madoff was a teetotaler, Fenwick says; he only ever drank Diet Coke (£3.60 a pint, or $5.23). But he had other vices. "Even though he is Jewish, he loves pork sausages … one of Madoff's favourite pastimes when visiting London was tucking into a fry-up" (£27, or $39 at Brown's on Abermarle Street). For lunch, he "always ate the same sandwiches — cream cheese, smoked salmon and cucumber on brown bread" (Marks & Spencer, £2.20, or $3.19).
Clothing and Accessories: Madoff collected vintage watches ($2,900 to $72,000) mainly through vintage specialist George Somlo. He also bought wedding bands to match the color and design of each watch ($525-$1950, Tiffany &Co.). During his two or three visits a year, Madoff would often take advantage of his office's proximity to Savile Row by asking his tailors, Kilgour, to see him in the boardroom (average of $6,000 per suit).
Business Expenses: Madoff traveled in style. According to Fenwick, he purchased a black and gray Brazilian-built Embraer Regional Jet 145 last year, at a cost of £20 million ($29 million). "There were sofas and beds behind curtains at the back of the plane," she said. "He'd installed a cappuccino machine [$1650] and under all the seats were pockets full of biscuits and sweets. Bernie's initials were on the front of all the crockery." Once in London, Madoff liked to stay at the Lanesborough Hotel (up to $11,600 a night). The office was nice, too. According to Fenwick, Madoff refurbished it last year to the tune of £500,000 ($726,000), including handmade desks and a new IT system, for £80,000 ($116,000). In New York, she says, he also insisted on squaring off the interior of the elliptical Lipstick Building, "which is mad" (cost unknown).
Miscellany: Madoff enjoyed Davidoff cigars (around $160 a box). His wife was apparently low-maintenance and enjoyed Boots No7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum, which retails around £17 in London ($24, plus shipping and handling). "It was a key part of her beauty regime," Fenwick says.
Partying: Last year, Fenwick attended a barbecue at Madoff's home in Montauk, an intimate affair with about 400 guests. "There was an oyster bar. And you'd dine on either lobster or fillet steak," she said. (At least $1 million, or the cost of Donald Trump's wedding.) Fenwick also went on a golfing trip with Madoff and a dozen of his friends for his 70th birthday, in Mexico, this past May. "We were all given hooded sweatshirts to mark the occasion. His initials and the year of his birth — 'BLM 1938' — were stitched on to them" (custom hoodies, from $39.99, Café Press.) According to Fenwick, he "showed no sign of being under pressure as he lounged on the beach, singing along to his favorite Neil Diamond songs."
But don't let your blood boil over all this, investors. The Best of Neil Diamond is only $8.49 on Amazon, so at least they were frugal about that. And Fenwick says she saw Bernie and Ruth haggling over the price of silver bangles with a street vendor. See, there's hope for recovery yet!

I'm here to cut through the noise and get you the bottom line on Jorge Cruise. We've heard a lot of people talking about the fitness guru, so we conducted an in-depth review of the ingredients, side effects, customer service quality and scientific research behind his claims. We looked at hundreds of experiences and comments online. Then we compiled all the information we found to give you the information that you need.
What You Need to Know
To begin with, Jorge Cruise is a fitness guru who offers multiple different rapid weight-loss plans. Some of his plans include The 100 Diet, 3 Hour Diet, 8 Minutes in the Morning and more. His books and diets are readily available online and most of them can be followed with very little in additional purchases and no significant increase in spending.
Jorge Cruise has been in the weight-loss industry since 2002, when he published his first book. He promotes healthy living and programs that don't take too much time. The longevity of his influence in the industry is encouraging and the affordability of his programs allows anyone to participate, but read on…
Lack of Results – "Minimal Effects?"
The first thing that concerned us was the lack of results. Regardless of the cost of a diet or fitness program, it's important that it delivers on its claims. Many users say that they have either lost very little weight with Jorge Cruise's programs or they have gained. "When you head out to buy one of these books, you are ready to start down the path to weight-loss," says our Research Editor. "If you aren't successful in the time frame you expect, that can quickly turn hope into disappointment."
"I lost a little bit of weight with Jorge Cruise, but the titles of his programs are very misleading," said one user.
"I gained weight with Jorge Cruise's 100 Diet. I changed my sugar intake, but my overall intake caused weight gain," offers another.
Scroll below for one of the best products we've seen over the last year.
Unsafe Weight-Loss – "Troublesome"
For some of those that did lose weight, the loss can be unhealthy. Jorge Cruise claims that you can lose 18 pounds in just two weeks, while exercise professionals recommend a maximum of 1-2 pounds in this time. Losing more than this can cause side effects as your body struggles to adjust to rapid changes. "I lost weight initially, but because my body couldn't adjust to the weight-loss, I ended up gaining weight in the long run," said one review.
"Losing weight at this pace is unsafe and dangerous, I lost 22 pounds in one month, then gained 25 pounds the following month," explained another.
Our research has shown that when there is a particular element of a program that is difficult or troublesome (cost, taste, unsafe practices, lack of results, etc.) dieters are less likely to maintain results long-term. If Jorge Cruise's weight-loss plans really are unsafe and unreliable, it could be difficult for dieters to lose and keep it off.
The Science – "Valid?"
The Jorge Cruise diets have been featured on Good Morning America, Dr. Oz and many other popular news and health outlets, but it seems more like a fad than a program based on science. The lack of published scientific research is troubling and without the ability to back up their weight-loss promises with unbiased proof, it's difficult to trust any of the claims. At DietSpotlight, it's important to have clinical studies proving that yours is a more effective alternative than competing products. That's not the case with Jorge Cruise.
The Bottom Line – Does Jorge Cruise Work?
Drum roll please. There are a few things to like about Jorge Cruise. He has developed a following with his multiple books over the past 13 years and his programs are affordable, but because they don't have any unbiased studies proving their claims, we can't recommend this as a weight-loss product. The promises they make sound great, but losing with the 100 Diet or 8 Minutes in the Morning may be unsustainable. We also have concerns about the safety of rapid loss and lack of results that many users have seen.
If you're looking to melt off the weight, we suggest a supplement that offers safe, scientifically backed weight-loss with a formula that has proven ingredients that promote steady loss.
Among the best products we've seen in 2016 is one called Leptigen. This supplement contains a proprietary blend of just four ingredients, with no known side effects. The formula has been researched in unbiased, published scientific studies and has been proven to help improve weight-loss by sparking metabolism and fat loss. It's also a positive that dieters are reporting some amazing results.
Plus, the makers of Leptigen are offering a Special Trial Offer, which is a sign that they're confident in their product.

An alluring mix of Eastern Euro hotties and stateside sweeties converge here to suck and fuck lucky cocks. Faith's dazzling eyes and petulant smile belie her cock-hungry attitude. She slobbers all over Tommy's love gun before he rocks her milky-white body in standing doggie. Gunn fires his seed into Faith's open mouth.
Czech spinner Vanessa loves to tease the camera. The action quickly moves to the bed, where the diminutive blonde gulps down as much meat as possible. Her perky ass looks best squatting over her partner's thick prick.
Carnal collegiate Ginger Taylor gets an "A" in Anatomy by properly diagnosing Talon's swollen bone. She gives it some vigorous mouth-to-mouth and then gets blasted by his hot beef injection. Take two and call me in the morning.

When something or someone is treated badly, that's abuse. Normally the PPC encounters abuse of the English language or of canon characters. In the second instance, abuse may be simply mischaracterisation, or it may be as serious as physical abuse (the character is beaten up and hurt by other characters) or sexual abuse (the character is raped or molested by other characters). Abuse is never okay. Sometimes physical or sexual abuse is used to build drama or to establish plot points or characterisation, and it can be justified if used very carefully. Most of the time, however, badficcers use it to set up hurt/comfort and do it badly. The PPC do not condone abuse of characters or of the English language.

We would love to welcome you to our Fairwood KinderCare web page. At our school here in Fairwood we pride our selves in keeping all our children safe, happy and fully engaged in their learning every day.
Tammy Johnson, Center Director
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.
Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment. That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences. From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.
Don't miss out on KinderCare's Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting, educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.
The Cooking Adventures program gives children opportunities to participate in fun, developmentally appropriate cooking experiences. They will learn about recipes, ingredients, cooking vocabulary, and the importance of a healthy diet. The curriculum includes lessons on picnics, pizza, and heart-healthy meals.
The Math Adventures enrichment program is designed to teach important mathematics concepts such as geometry, numbers, measurement, and probability. Your child will learn about length, height, and weight. He will learn about shapes and solids. He will learn how to add, subtract, multiply, and count money. Math is everywhere and giving your child every advantage now will add up to success later in life.
Ongoing research proves that early exposure to music helps children think, reason, create, and express themselves. Children will laugh and learn about rhythm, vocal melodies, and a variety of musical genres and instruments, which can lower stress and advance memory. Learning never sounded so good.
Set your child up for advanced success with literacy through phonics, the study of letters and sounds. Reader books, games, and activity cards help your child understand the basics of vowels and blending syllables, giving him confidence and command of language.

Every child is truly a gift! I firmly believe that it is everyone's duty to ensure that children grow and thrive, and I make it my mission to help every child that I meet to do so. Our future depends on our commitment to our youth, and for that reason, I pour my all into my work.

Hotels in Paris near Gare de Lyon Station
Hotels in the 12th arrondissement
The choice of hotels in the Gare de Lyon-Bercy area reflects the diversity of the neighborhood itself. Hotels near the Gare de Lyon are convenient for short stays or stopovers—conserve your budget at the ibis Gare de Lyon Diderot 12th opposite the station, or splash out on the Novotel Gare de Lyon for extra comforts including an indoor pool. For a touch of Gallic chic, Le Marceau Bastille is a stylish boutique hotel in Bercy tucked away in a quiet street near the opera, with a salon-bar that doubles as an art gallery and a tranquil tree-lined patio.
Things to see in the 12th arrondissement
One of the city's largest districts, the 12th arrondissement is also one of its most colorful. The Art Deco Palais de la Porte Dorée features an ornate frieze dating from the 1931 Colonial Exhibition, and also houses a charming aquarium and museum. The Opéra Bastille, one of the world's most prestigious opera companies, is based in a striking modern theater. Another hotspot is the Promenade Plantée—this disused railway track has been transformed into a green walkway linking Place de la Bastille to the Bois de Vincennes, the huge park that's home to Paris's much-loved zoo. In the evening, transport yourself back to the golden age of travel with a table at the legendary restaurant Le Train bleu. Here you can dine on classic French cuisine overlooking the Gare de Lyon's grand concourse before heading back to your 12th arrondissement hotel.
Good for travelers on a budget
Alongside grand old traditional hotels you'll find international budget chains and pocket-friendly hostels in the 12th arrondissement, where you can hang your beret for a fraction of the price of more upscale districts. This bohemian neighborhood is packed with great places to eat on a budget, as well as green spaces where you can enjoy the Parisian ambience for free. Check out Parc de Bercy between the Gare de Lyon and the river, noted for its water features and landscape art. Shop for clothes and antiques bargains at the open-air market on Rue d'Aligre, or sample delicious African street food at nearby Marché Beauvau.
How to get to the 12th arrondissement
Paris's international airports, Charles de Gaulle and Orly, are served by the city's rapid transit system (the RER) as well as several shuttle buses. Although there's no direct RER connection to the Gare de Lyon, you'll only have to change trains once. If you're arriving into Paris by Eurostar, the Gare du Nord terminal is just 2 stops away from the Gare de Lyon on the RER. The 12th arrondissement covers an extensive area on the right bank of the River Seine to the south-east of the city center. It's served by numerous metro and RER lines, so getting around by public transportation couldn't be simpler.
