FREDERICKTOWN This October, the Freaky Factory Trail and Corn Maze in Fredericktown is open for its fifth season.
The Freaky Factory Trail has opened once again for the fall season. The trail is a family-friendly outdoor attraction that features various PG Halloween scenes including a mad scientist, cemetery, pumpkin patch, and more. Fog machines, lights, and music add to the experience. Actors in costumes like Big Foot and the Chicken Man are a favorite for the kids.
This year, they once again have a six-acre Corn Maze. The Corn Maze is located at the back of the Freaky Factory property. The property owners used GPS technology to create the maze. It features corn trivia along the way that helps visitors choose which direction to take. Typically, it takes 45 minutes to 1 hour to complete the maze.
What is unique about The Freaky Factory is that we tried to keep families in mind. There are a lot of Halloween attractions for adults, but we wanted to provide a place where parents could bring their kids. The trail is for kids of all ages. Last year we drew folks from all over central Ohio. We look forward to another successful year, said owner Jason Bowles.
The Freaky Factory is open every weekend in October. The Freaky Factory Trail is open Fridays and Saturdays from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. The Corn Maze is open on Fridays 6-8 p.m. and Saturdays 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The Freaky Factory is located at 68 Mount Vernon Ave., Fredericktown. For rules and location information visit www.freakyfactory.com. Guests are encouraged to bring a flashlight.

Even very young children can be affected by traumatic events and have serious problems later in childhood and adulthood. But the great news is that, with help from families, providers, and the community, children and youth can demonstrate resilience when dealing with trauma.
Traumatic experiences can range from a one-time incident, such as a sudden death of a loved one or a natural disaster, to ongoing exposure to experiences, such as bullying or family violence. Identifying that a child has experienced trauma is not always easy because emotional and behavioral responses to trauma vary depending on a child's age, personality, the type and severity of the incident, and availability of adult support.
Studies on stress response in children show that there can be physiological and structural changes in the brain and neurological systems and can, without intervention, result in enduring problems such as depression, anxiety, aggression, impulsiveness, delinquency, hyperactivity, and substance abuse.
There is a range of behaviors that could be signs that a child is having difficulty dealing with a traumatic event, such as, but not limited to:
What can teachers, caregivers, and other adults do to help a child who has experienced trauma? The U.S. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) offers these suggestions:
With the support of caring adults, children can recover from traumatic events, reestablish a sense of well-being, and obtain treatment and other services if needed. The more you know about trauma and children, the more you can do to help them. For more resources on early childhood and trauma, visit http://www.samhsa.gov/children/earlychildhood_trauma.asp.

Specified activities, rents and regulatory accounts
Specified activities
Following a recommendation in the 1991 MMC report, the CAA requires Heathrow Airport Limited to publish costs and revenues for certain activities, known as specified activities, including Check-in desk, baggage systems, other desk licenses, staff car parking, staff ID cards, fixed electrical ground power, hydrant fuelling, airside parking, airside licenses, cable routing, maintenance, heating and utility services, and facilities for bus and coach operators.
Further detail on specified activities and the relevant reports can be found at: www.heathrowairport.com/nrc
In December 1996, the CAA imposed requirements on each of the three then BAA London airports to provide information on property rents at each airport (hereafter referred to as rents reports):
- to provide annually a statement of how actual rentals for "guide price" properties have moved in comparison with any formula covering such properties implemented by Heathrow Airport Limited; and
- to provide annually a statement of actual income from rentals and, where this varies from the rental assumed in setting airport charges, the reasons for such variations.
Rents reports can be found at: www.heathrowairport.com/property
Regulatory accounts
Heathrow Airport Limited is required to prepare regulatory accounts by the CAA. The primary purpose of the regulatory accounts is to serve the purpose of regulation by providing a means of comparing the airport's financial performance over the price control decision period with that on which the setting of price caps was predicted. It also provides a starting valuation for the next quinquennium.
Further details can be found on our regulatory accounts page.

Sonia Leigh Tickets
Sorry! Looks like there aren't any events.
But it's not the end of the world! Click Track above and you'll be the first to know when Sonia Leigh tickets are available.
Sonia Leigh Biography & News
About Sonia Leigh
She opened for the Coal Miner's Daughter (Created May 22, 2013)
How's this for a story of a young girl turned country star? Little Sonia Leigh, just five years old, would have a chance encounter with the incomparable Loretta Lynn at an Alabama concert. Close to 30 years later Leigh would open for the "Coal Miner's Daughter," in the process winning over the audience and fans around the world with her vocal delivery and raw, honest lyrics.
That story, from start to finish, has so much in between that truly defines Sonia Leigh. From the divorce of her parents when she was young, to leaving home at the age of 17 with nothing more than fifty bucks, a garbage bag full of clothes and a guitar, Leigh was determined to make it on her own. She took three jobs, joined a band and came out the other side with her eventual 1998 debut, "Remember Me." Since that time, she has performed extensively as a solo artist, headliner and a supporting act for big names like The Marshall Tucker Band, Jason Mraz and the Zac Brown Band.
In fact, it was Leigh's 2007 release "Run or Surrender" that was produced by John Hopkins of the Zac Brown Band. She is currently signed to Zac Brown's record label, Southern Ground. Her very first album under that label, "1978 December," was released on September 27, 2011. The first single was the country-rocking "My Name is Money," with other highlights including the sing-along "Bar," and the soulful "I Just Might."
Leigh is on the road right now as part of the People's Fest Benefit with Marc Broussard. Upcoming stops for 2013 include 12th & Porter in Nashville on June 6th, and Central Park at Atlantic Station in Atlanta on June 22nd.

Thursday, April 24, 2014 7:52 PM
Published on: Thursday, October 17, 2013
By Holden Wilen
ROCKVILLE – Amid continuing turmoil in the city in the aftermath of an investigation into employees' complaints of racism and discrimination, City Manager Barbara Matthews has proposed revisions to the personnel policies and procedures manual to the mayor and city council and responded to recent stories published in the Sentinel.
Last year, five former city employees told The Sentinel they experienced discrimination and racism from supervisors. The allegations resulted in the mayor and council hiring a law firm, Saul Ewing LLP, for $190,000 to conduct an investigation. Saul Ewing completed a report, but the city will not release it and only Matthews and City Attorney Debra Yerg Daniel have reviewed it.
The city released findings from the report in November 2012. Earlier this month the city hired a new human resources department director. Now, Matthews has finally proposed preliminary revisions to the personnel policies and procedures manual to the mayor and council, who per the city code have 55 days to make any changes before they automatically go into effect. Two weeks ago Matthews went through the revisions with the mayor and council in a closed session.
"We do not anticipate meeting again with mayor and council in closed session unless they ask for it. We asked if they need a follow-up meeting and my understanding is they do not. If we do not get any instruction the changes automatically go into effect at the end of their term," Matthews said. "My sense is there is some interest in wrapping it up before then. We will be happy to provide a copy of the changes when they go through."
Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio said Matthews enlisted the help of a consultant to draft the revisions. Now, she and the council have some time to do some cleanup. She did not say the changes would have any dramatic effect on the treatment of employees.
"I think the revisions bring us in line with all of the federal legislation," Marcuccio said. "I do not think any major changes in policy occurred. Everything is pretty standard. The general comment to us was our policies were broad and need more attention but we are in compliance."
Marcuccio said the city manager is doing what she can and is trying to do things in steps to make sure she has a secure, collaborative staff to work with.
"I think she has tried to gain the confidence and the faith in her decision making by the staff," Marcuccio said. "She has tried to be fair, open and direct so staff does not get into situations that they were in where they felt helpless."
In a recent Sentinel story, candidates for mayor and council in next month's election were asked if they would view the Saul Ewing report, and the answers were mixed. When asked if she would comply with a request by the mayor and council if they instructed her to provide them with a copy of the report, she said she would want to talk to the city attorney first.
"My understanding is that the city had pledges confidentiality to employees coming forward and that Saul Ewing had conveyed that rather vigorously to the people who were interviewed," Matthews said. "I do not know if there are any legal ramifications to the city of breaching that pledge that was made to those individuals. That is a legal question and I am not a lawyer. That is the most I could tell you at this point."
Matthews also responded to allegations from a former code inspector that the city is in violation of state law because it does not have a certified master plumber on staff.
The state legislation is not clear, Matthews said. The city does not have a master plumber on staff, she said, but there is a provision of the state code that provides for local jurisdictions to set their own minimum standards. The city follows the standards set forth by the International Code Council and several employees have ICC plumbing code certifications.
"To the best of our knowledge we are meeting standards," Matthews said. "There is a new law that has gone into effect that impacts this section of the code. Our impression is it will change the standards of people we hire after the law goes into effect on Jan. 1."
Charles Baker, the former code inspector, said if the city did set its own minimum standards, it would have needed to get approval from the state and should have the documentation on file.
Matthews said she is not aware of any consultation with the state because it would have occurred long ago. She has not seen a letter from the Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation but said she has never asked to see one.
"The biggest issue here is we take our responsibility for public safety very seriously. We have good inspectors on staff who take their job seriously," Matthews said. "We believe that we are meeting what we are required to do by the state. If for some reason that turns out to not be the case then we will proactively deal with that, but at this juncture we believe we are meeting the standards. We believe we have qualified people doing inspections."

According to Tonya McKay Becker (aka CurlChemist), moisture is the most important thing during dry winter months. Ingredients such as humectants that function really well in humid situations can actually cause dryness in during the winter months. If the humidity and dew points are really low, it is best to limit them. Here are our top winter hair product pics that are low or free of humectants to help your hair stay moisturized all winter long.
Daily Conditioners

A tip from an informant led to the arrest of an accused drug dealer and a record seizure in Salisbury earlier this month.
After receiving the tip February 4, investigators from the Wicomico County State's Attorney's Office's High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Unit, along with the Gang and Narcotics Task Forces, conducted a traffic stop on 29-year-old Kevin Dykes of Salisbury. During the stop, officers say they found marijuana and a one kilogram (2.2-pound) uncut "brick" of cocaine in his Pontiac Bonneville, which was taken as evidence. They got a search warrant for his home, and found more drugs and some cash inside. On February 12, investigators say they conducted another search at a farm off Forest Grove Road in Salisbury, and that's where they say they found the bulk of the marijuana and cash. All told, seven and a half pounds of pot and $550,000 in cash believed to be from drug deals, were seized. Wicomico County Sheriff Mike Lewis says that amount of money is the largest ever seized in county history. The FBI and the DEA had to be brought in to seize bank accounts police say Dykes used to deposit the money from his drug deals.
While Sheriff Lewis says the amount of pot displayed was significant, he says law enforcement still has a lot of work to do in getting drugs off the county's streets. However, he says there's nothing agencies can't do to make communities safer as long as they work together, and this drug bust is proof of that. Salisbury Mayor Jim Ireton thanked the officers and agents who took part in the investigation, and said that their work has made the city's neighborhoods safer for everyone.
Dykes has been charged with several counts of possession of drugs with the intent to distribute. He's being held at the Wicomico County Detention Center on half a million dollars bond. Wicomico County State's Attorney Matt Maciarello says his office will present the case to a grand jury on February 25, and the grand jury will then decide whether or not to indict Dykes. If convicted, Dykes faces more than 20 years in prison, and additional federal charges and jail time are possible, according to the State's Attorney's Office.

School bus driver fired after video of texting while driving
A school bus driver in St. Charles County caught texting while driving is now out of work.
Officials with the Francis Howell School District tell the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that a middle-school student had taken a video of the driver texting with kids on board Thursday. Parents contacted the district about the incident.
Francis Howell spokeswoman Jennifer Henry tells the paper that the company the driver worked for fired the driver as a result of the incident.
The driver isn't likely to face a citation since Missouri law only bars texting while driving for drivers age 21 and under.
Computer glitch leads to Francis Howell email blitz
Officials in the Francis Howell school district say a computer error led to a strange email blast over the weekend. Parents of current and former students received emails saying their children were failing classes -- hundreds of them.
School district spokesperson Neosha Hayes says the issue has been identified and the flow of emails stopped. Hayes also says student information wasn't compromised because only authorized addresses received the emails.
Francis Howell sends first tuition bill to Normandy
The first tuition bill is in for Normandy students who transferred to Francis Howell.
Four hundred forty-nine transfer students began classes in Francis Howell schools on August 8th. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports the total due now is just over $424,000. Francis Howell Chief Financial Officer Kevin Supple told the paper the bill was sent Tuesday via email.
Normandy officials say the invoice must be processed and approved by the school board, which could take a month or more.
Missouri education officials have suggested unaccredited districts pay tuition bills within 10 days. State officials have also said they will withhold state aid distributions if an unaccredited district falls two months behind in paying transfer tuition.
Lockdown lifted for four schools after man threatens employee
A lockdown of schools in St. Charles County has been lifted.
Police say a man confronted an employee at Francis Howell High School and threatened to kill himself. A school resource officer removed the man from the building. That is when officers say the man tried to force his way into Francis Howell Middle School. Police were called and the men led officers on brief chase.
The suspect was arrested in the Chesterfield area. Police say no students were in danger and lockdown was soon lifted. A total of four schools were placed on lockdown.
Cost for Normandy transfers could fall on state taxpayers
The State of Missouri may have to pay part of the costs for the school transfer program. The unaccredited Normandy School District will spend between 15 and 18 million dollars to send hundreds of students to Francis Howell and other, better performing districts. Missouri Education Commissioner Dr. Chris Nicastro told Fox 2 News that at that rate, Normandy will likely run out of money before the end of the school year.
"If Normandy cannot meet their obligations, then there's going to have to be some money come from somewhere," Nicastro said. "The legislature's the only body I know of that can appropriate those funds."
Dr. Nicastro says the costs could go up next year. That's when new education standards kick in across the state, which she believes will cause more districts to become unaccredited.
Missouri school transfer ruling opens old wounds
ST. CHARLES, Mo. (AP) - A wave of school transfers spurred by a recent Missouri Supreme Court ruling is opening old wounds and reviving difficult conversations in St. Louis about race, class and equal access to public education.
Nearly 2,600 students from the unaccredited Normandy and Riverview Gardens districts are leaving for better-performing schools in other districts, with the two troubled districts required to pay an estimated $30 million to accommodate the moves. School leaders say it's only a matter of time before they go bankrupt.
Parents, politicians and community leaders in some outlying districts say they worry the newcomers will bring increased delinquency, larger class sizes and lower test scores. Much of the outrage was on display last month at public school board meeting of the Francis Howell district, which begins classes on Thursday.
Francis Howell hosts transition day from Normandy transfers
Student leaders and over a hundred mentors spent time transitioning Normandy students to the Francis Howell School District.
475 Normandy students made the leap to the accredited district. The number breaks down to 168 elementary school students, 164, middle school students, and 143 high schoolers. The kids spent the day getting tours of the schools, participating in team-building activities, and locating their lockers.
The first day of school is Thursday.
Transfer deadline extended for Riverview and Normandy students
As the start of the new school year fast approaches, more than 300 students who want to transfer out of the troubled Riverview Gardens and Normandy school districts still don't know where they'll attend classes. That's because of the limited availability of open seats in some districts they've applied to attend.
Many students didn't get into one of their first three choices of districts, or didn't list more than one choice. So officials with the Cooperating School Districts have extended the application deadline for the still unassigned transfer students.
Families can submit a new list of choices. Those who don't re-apply on the Cooperating School Districts website by noon Monday will not be able to transfer out of the unaccredited districts.
All of the Normandy students transferring to Francis Howell Districts did get their requests filled. About 2,400 Riverview Garden students have also received transfer assignments.
Francis Howell Board to set class size limits and tuition at Thursday night meeting
The Francis Howell school board will meet Thursday night to hammer out the nuts and bolts of accepting transfer students from the failing Normandy school district. The board will vote on issues including class size limits, tuition and a payment schedule.
District officials want average class sizes to remain at or below desirable levels outlined by the state department of education. At that level, the district would have room for about 600 transfer students. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that as of Wednesday, 196 students had applied to transfer into the district.
The district is also expected to approve a tuition rate of $11,034 per student, enough to allow them to hire a part time administrator to answer parents' questions, and assist in placing transfer students from Normandy.
Normandy students have until August 1 to file transfer applications. Class begins in Francis Howell schools on August 8.
Francis Howell town hall meeting gets heated over Normandy tranfers
Many parents in the Francis Howell School District say they're concerned about the impact of students from the unaccredited Normandy District transferring to their schools. Several sounded off at a town hall meeting Thursday night at Howell Central High School in Cottleville.
Some expresses concerns about resources being channeled to transferring students who are academically behind. Other's were concerned that about violence that may come to Francis Howell from Normandy, a district that has struggled with violence in its schools.
Francis Howell superintendent Dr. Pam Sloan spoke openly about her opposition to the transfers, saying that busing kids to a new district isn't the way to fix a failing one.
But not everyone in the district is so concerned. Francis Howell senior class president Eric Lee cautioned the crowd not to make assumptions about the students transferring in from Normandy. Lee said it's not right to assume the kids who choose to transfer are going to cause problems.
District officials won't know until August 2nd how many Normandy students plan to transfer.

Women's Swimmer of the Week
Carly Harter, Toledo
Senior, North Huntington, Penn. (Norwin)
Senior Carly Harter won six events and placed second in two events at Michigan State and No. 15 Ohio State last weekend. On Friday, Harter led Toledo (2-2) to its first road victory under first-year head coach Chris Peters at MSU, 157.5-142.5. The senior finished with wins in the 100 and 200-yard freestyle, while recording her first win in the 200-yard individual medley this season. She also swam on the second place 400-yard freestyle relay team, as the Rockets won their third meet ever against a Big Ten Conference opponent. Harter and the Rockets took on 15th-ranked OSU less than 24 hours later in Columbus, OH, and the three-time, All-MAC First Teamer showed no signs of fatigue by capturing the 100-yard freestyle, 400-yard individual medley and 400-freestyle relay. She also swam the 50-yard freestyle for the first time this season with a second place time of 24.33. Next up for UT is senior day on Jan. 26 versus Miami (OH).

The sophomore began his career day with a new school record on 1-meter, scoring 357.60 points and defeating Penn State's Lucas Kachurick by nearly 100 points. His mark surpasses previous record-holder Eric Ducourneau, who set the record in 2009 with a score of 352.65. In the 3-meter diving competition, Nevels followed the record-breaking performance with his second NCAA Zone 'D' qualifying cut of the season and another victory. The Bears' top diver totaled 351.70 points on 3-meter and won by a 30-point margin

Love the Moroccan-Mexican one. What a dream!
That is our shower head and Starck toilet. We have those Chicago Faucet Co. taps in our kitchen, and used glass tile, albeit a very hand-made white glass mosaic tile from Brazil (Vidrotil). The taps and shower control we went with (Boffi's Minimal) are lab-like in the sense that the designer is also a medical doctor, which is evident in their form and finish. And finally the floor -- instead of marble hex tiles, we went with honed everlasting green slate 12" x 18" tiles, but hey, close enough!

Of course this girl is rather important to me and I am going to have to work pretty hard to impress her as well. The first date went pretty well so far as I can tell. She gave me a nice kiss at her door and seemed to be thinking about more than that. Then she called me up the next morning while I was still thinking about what to say to her when I called her up. She wanted to know who to call for the reservations, she had told her boss about the restaurants berwick where I had taken her and to be honest he had been a bit peeved when he found out that I had gotten in the place and gotten a good table. It was not very hard for me however, I know the guy who runs the kitchen and that guy owes me plenty. Of course I lie to his wife on his behalf so that he can get out of doing stuff that he does not want to do and he hides over at my place watching sports until things are over.
It is not like I enjoy telling lies for another guy, but in this case it is rather convenient. I can walk in the back door of this place and grab a great meal without much trouble. Of course I pay for it, but I do not pay what the ordinary guy off the street pays. This is not some place where you pop in for a burger and a side of chips. You can go in there and drop some rather serious coin. Of course I also do business with the fellow who owns the place as well. He and my father were in business for a time and then after Dad retired I took over the account.Continue With Understanding
I was promoted to a marketing position at the company that I currently work for. The company is in the process of trying to re-brand itself, and one of the first things that needs to get done is to have a new logo created for the company. I guess that I am being put in charge of making sure that happens, even though I just started this new job about a week ago. Regardless of my lack of experience, I will try to get a good job done. Now, I need to find a logo design company that will be able to create a new logo for the company.
I need to have this done in a cost effective sort of way, because my department has been given a budget for all of the changes we are going to need to make during the process of re-branding the company. Our hopes are to be able to revitalize sales and get the company headed in the right direction again, after a couple years of stagnation recently. I really hope that we will be successful in turning the company around, because after all, I do work for this company, and therefore, I have a vested interest in seeing it succeed.
I will want to hire a logo design company that is very professional, and also has a lot of experience in creating logos for companies in the past. I have been given a list of suggestions for what the logo should look like, but it is going to be a fairly fluid situation until a design is picked. I am going to need to consult with the logo design company, and then talk with my boss, and then maybe, I will have a good idea for what the logo should look like.Continue With Understanding

What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis (say: "ost-tee-oh-pore-oh-siss") occurs when the inside of the bones become porous from a loss of calcium (see the picture below). This is called losing bone mass. Over time, this weakens the bones and makes them more likely to break.
Once total bone mass has peaked — around 35 years of age — all adults start to lose it. However, women are more likely to develop osteoporosis than men. This is due to several factors. Women have less bone mass than men, tend to live longer and take in less calcium. In women, the rate of bone loss speeds up after menopause, when estrogen levels fall. Since the ovaries make estrogen, faster bone loss may also occur if both ovaries are removed by surgery.
If men live long enough, they are also at risk of getting osteoporosis later in life.

Tim Tebow playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars?
That's the goal of a group of Jaguars fans who have scheduled a rally for 3:16 p.m. today at Everbank Field in Jacksonville to try to convince the team to sign the former Gators quarterback.
(UPDATE: ESPN.com reports that about people particiated in the rally -- covered by about 30 media members.)
"Tim Tebow Quarterback of the Jacksonville Jaguars? We say.... WHY THE HECK NOT?," the group says on its website, jags-tebow.com. "The Jags are going no where in 2013 if Opening day is any indication. An embarrassing 28-2 Home loss to the only team as bad as us last year."
Tebow/Jaguars fans are encouaged to "bring your Tebow signs, hats, shirts, whatever you have," the group says on its website. "This is our team. Show the Jags front office we want Tebow!"
The Jaguars have gone on record previously saying they had no plans to add Tebow. Of course, that was before the season started, and now the Jaguars have dropped their first two games.
A group of Jaguars fans previously rallied online to urge team NOT to sign Tebow. Others, including our columnist Mike Bianchi, say the Jags have nothing to lose and should bring Tebow aboard.
Meanwhile, Tebow is still hoping to get back into the NFL. He was spotted last week at the University of Southern California in L.A. working on his throwing motion. This YouTube video shows his workout.

Have you ever been in a meeting and, just when the presenter gets to the most interesting section, the person next to you attempts to engage you in a conversation on a completely different, but equally important, topic? Obviously, you can't pay attention to both. You end up missing a bit of each, feeling frustrated and more than a little annoyed.
Believe it or not, I often get calls from clients who deliberately want to organize a similar situation. The request goes something like this: "We're planning the annual sales (or incentive or user group) meeting, and as long as we have our team together, we'd like to take the opportunity to do some training. Can we just integrate a training event into our Big Meeting?"
Administratively, this meeting-in-a-meeting idea seems ideal. Travel expenses are optimized. Time out of the field is minimized. The hotel and other logistics are already planned. Sure, it can be done. But not without careful planning and preparation. Training and nontraining meetings can be difficult to combine and coordinate. First, the Big Meeting and its goals are bound to take priority. Your training goal most certainly will not. The agendas of the two meetings may conflict. And your audience may be in a completely different mind-set, making the training seem more like an intrusion than a benefit. Finally, with all the distractions of the main meeting, audience attention spans tend to be even more limited than usual.
Here are a few ideas to improve the results of combining a nontraining and a training event:
Before and After. If possible, schedule your training event either before or after the main meeting. This tends to lessen distractions and conflicts. Trainees will not have to make daily or hourly decisions about which event to pay attention to.
Stop and Start. Have a definitive start and end time for your training each day. Coordinate the training schedule with the main schedule so attendees won't miss important networking events. Trainees who are forced to miss these activities will not give their full attention (or simply will leave). They may feel punished, rather than rewarded, by the educational opportunity.
Introduce Management. Invite a senior manager to kick off each day. The manager's presence will reinforce the company's commitment to the training.
Immediate Value. The more closely the content is tied to the main event, the more likely attendees will be to give it their attention. A topic with clear, immediate value, such as a new sales skill, may keep your account managers in their seats, but don't expect them to give up valuable time on the trade show floor to learn the latest on volume pricing agreements. Consider content that could influence a sticky customer situation, offer "wizard-level" support to users, or teach techniques to demo products more professionally.
Ensure Standards. The people you want as instructors, speakers, and technical support are likely to be focused on the main event. Schedule your training so you can get the right people and so they have time to create content appropriate to your goals.
Value Participation. Take the time to connect with each trainee. It may be a pre-event letter, verbal recognition, special certification, or, perhaps, gifts or trinkets. Every attendee should feel that their time and dedication to the training "distraction" is noticed and valued.
Above all, remember that no matter how critical the content, your training is secondary to the "Main Tent." If you can offer exceptional value, minimize interruptions, and reward their attendance and attention, you can get great results from combined meetings. And what could be more efficient than two meetings at once?

Malaysia Airlines Launches A New Training Centre
Subang, 24 January 2011 : Malaysia Airlines (MAS) , proudly marked another step towards becoming the undisputed leader in the aviation industry in Malaysia by stepping up on its pilots training centre. In a modest ceremony, MAS together with CAE, a world leader in providing simulation and modelling technologies and integrated training solutions, held a small opening and launching ceremony of its new B738 simulation training centre in Glenmarie, Subang.
The new training centre, maintained and operated by CAE, features a CAE 7000 Series Boeing 737-800 Level D full-flight simulator (FFS) and a CAE SimfinityTM Boeing 737-800 Integrated Procedures Trainer (IPT) acquired from CAE in November 2009.
The High Commissioner of Canada, His Excellency Mr. Randolph Mank graced the event as the honoured guest. Also present at the event was the Senior Trade Commissioner of Canada, Mr. Douglas R. Bingeman.
Mr. Jeff Roberts, CAE Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services in his opening speech commended MAS as the training centre was built in record time.
"MAS has been a great customer of CAE since our first sale of simulation equipment 28 years ago," said Roberts. "Advanced flight simulators are essential to the safe and efficient operations of airlines around the world. Simulation-based training ensures that new pilots required to meet growing demands, as well as more experienced pilots, are regularly trained and re-trained in essential skills and decision-making judgement."
Roberts was optimistic about the aviation industry, citing a global growth trend which is expected to increase the demand of pilots to approximately 18,000 yearly. "One of the highest rates of pilot growth will come from Asia for both passenger and cargo traffic," he added.
MAS CEO, Tengku Dato' Seri Azmil Zahruddin remarked that the launch of this training centre marked the start of future growth and innovation in MAS. "It is a very significant and important event for us as this marks the beginning of new aircrafts coming into our fleet," said Tengku Azmil.
"The relationship also marks the more innovative, professional and international way MAS is moving forward in terms of business operations. "It is necessary for airlines to do things in a new way, to work with partners and ensure that they meet our high safety standards. It is a big step for us," added Tengku Azmil.
About Malaysia Airlines
Malaysia Airlines (www.malaysiaairlines.com) is the national carrier of Malaysia and one of Asia's largest, flying nearly 40,000 passengers daily to some 100 destinations worldwide across 6 continents. The distinctive Malaysia Airlines brand is an extension of the special culture of warmth and friendliness unique to Malaysians. This inimitable Malaysian sense of graciousness is branded as "Malaysian Hospitality" and symbolized by the acronym MH which is also the airline's flight code.

Pittsburgh Theological Seminary will celebrate the life and legacy of long-time friend Dr. Glendora Paul '68 during an on-campus memorial service Dec. 17, 2012 at 3:30 p.m. All are invited to attend. Glendora died peacefully Oct. 23, 2012.
Glendora was a founding member and guiding spirit of the Seminary's World Mission Initiative. Through her various volunteer roles with WMI, the Miller Summer Youth Institute, and international students, she touched many lives.
Glendora was born in a Christian village in North India. She came to the United States on a Fulbright grant and studied at Washington University. When she returned to India to teach in an international school in the South, she continued to seek God's guidance for her life. Later she came back to the U.S. and earned her master's degree from Pittsburgh Seminary followed by her doctorate at the University of Pittsburgh. Both Glendora and her late husband, Prodeep, became naturalized U.S. citizens.
In recognition of her dedication to the Seminary, Glendora was honored with the Distinguished Alumna Award and the John Anderson Award of Merit, the Seminary's highest honor.
Watch as Glendora reflects on her early life and later ministry at Pittsburgh Seminary.
Pittsburgh Theological Seminary is a graduate professional institution of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A). Founded in 1794, the Seminary is located in Pittsburgh, Pa. and more than 300 students are enrolled yearly in the degree programs. The Seminary prepares leaders who proclaim with great joy God's message of good news in both word and deed. PTS is rooted in the Reformed history of faithfulness to Scripture and commitment to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Hi! My name is Brooke and my husband is Brian. Our last name is similar to Peterson.
We are still in the preliminary baby-growing and baby-naming stages (16 weeks) and have not yet found out if our baby-to-be is a girl or boy.
If it is a girl, my top name choice is Ivy.
Brian has agreed to this name, but he wants it to be spelled Ivee. He knows someone named Ivee and does not know anyone with the name Ivy.
I love Ivy, but I pretty much loath Ivee. He feels the opposite. He thinks it would be weird to name a little girl after a plant. I feel like it would be even weirder to give her a made up name...or at least a made up spelling for a name.
We have a short list of other names that we can agree on - Nora, Sarah, Eden, Eve, etc. - so it is not like Ivy/Ivee is our only choice.
But, since it is my favorite and he has actually (amazingly!) agreed to it, I don't know if I should settle for a spelling I dislike or just give up on my sweet Ivy and go with another name.
Or...maybe it will be a boy and we can wait to worry about this issue until another pregnancy.
Should I settle for Ivee? Should we move on and keep looking at other names?
Thanks so much!
I'd start by seeing if you can find out if your husband's mind can be changed on the issue of whether or not it's weird to use a plant name. Ivy, Rose, Violet, Lily, Willow, Daisy, Heather, Holly, Iris, Jasmine---these are all plant names that people use as-is, without having to alter the spellings. We do the same with many other noun names: Hope, Grace, Autumn, May, River, Ruby, Faith. I would first see if your husband feels the same way about the spelling of these other names, or if it's just that he's not used to Ivy as a name. It isn't that we never change the spellings of noun names ("Brooke" is a convenient example; Lilly and Saige and Skye also come to mind), but Ivy is in the category of names we as a culture don't consider weird to leave as it is.
Your husband knows an Ivee, which certainly influences his feelings. The Social Security Administration may be of assistance here: in 2010, there were 1,073 baby girls named Ivy, and 13 named Ivee. Another 61 were named Ivey; another 33 were named Ivie. The spelling Ivy is clearly the main spelling. This is not to say that the main spelling must be honored; it is only another suggested argument against his feeling that Ivee is a more natural spelling of the name.
Because I so strongly side with you about spelling it Ivy, I'm reluctant to even mention these possible compromise spellings: Ivie, Ivey.
Name update! Brooke writes:
I followed one commenter's advice and left the name conversation alone until we learned the sex of our little one.
We learned that we were having a boy, so the Ivy/Ivee conversation has been tabled. I am sure it will come up again if/when a future pregnancy brings us a girl, but for now, I have just left it alone.
My long list of potential boy names was largely vetoed and we didn't make a final decision until we met our little man, but we are so happy with our choice. His name is Samuel Birger (BRR-jer). Birger is my dad's first name and I love that Sam has this connection with his Pops.
Many thanks to you and your readers for all of the comments and consideration

Q: Was Darwin a God-hater?
A: Darwin was both a product of his times and his own man. Like all of us, he was trying to make sense of his world. Yet true knowledge of the world begins by trusting God and His Word. Unfortunately, our nature is to rebel against our loving Creator.
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." —1 Timothy 2:3–4
Darwin the God-hater, bent on overturning Christian culture: this is how many Christians view Charles Darwin. But let's dig a little deeper.
Actually this is easy to do because Darwin kept a personal diary from an early age until his death. When we dig, we find not a satanic ogre but an intellectual who embodied the many contradictions and conflicts prevalent in the British culture of Victorian England—a man like any other, a man whom God wanted to save. Even secular biographies unwittingly shout, "God pursued Darwin."
Read about what made Darwin tick, who influenced him, and more in The Pursuit of Darwin. It's a sneak peek at the upcoming issue of Answers magazine.

Registered, Licensed Dietitian, health coach, blogger and podcaster Cassie Bjork is our special guest host interviewing Paleo blogger and author Michelle Tam in Episode 806 of "The Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show."
Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 48:54 — 39.5MB)
Today we've got a guest host that may be familiar to fans of Jimmy Moore's podcast. She is Cassie Bjork from "Dietitian Cassie" and serves as Jimmy's co-host on his Friday podcast "Low-Carb Conversations With Jimmy Moore & Friends." She is incredibly passionate about exposing people to healthy nutrition with real food. Through her work as Dietitian Cassie, she focuses on debunking rumors, diet myths and fads while teaching clients how to eat healthy by breaking down research-based material into practical forms that can be implemented into any lifestyle. Cassie is an ardent believer in using real food for optimal health and performance and strives to live a balanced lifestyle while helping others do the same.
Cassie invited on Paleo blogger and New York Times bestselling author of Nom Nom Paleo: Food for Humans Michelle Tam from "Nom Nom Paleo." In partnership with her husband, Henry Fong, Michelle developed the top-selling Nom Nom Paleo iPad app as well as their new book. When she's not cooking or writing, Michelle can be found working graveyard shifts as a hospital pharmacist, chasing her two young sons around the house, or passed out cold (yes, she's got quite the quirky sense of humor, but that's why we love her!).
Listen in as Cassie and Michelle discuss how she balances the many important roles in her life, how she prioritizes each of those duties to stay sane through the busyness, what she feeds her kids in their school lunches, how she transitioned her kids to embrace and love the Paleo diet, the importance of being realistic and listening to your body, the critical impact of exercise on health, not falling for "Paleo Perfectionism," her recommendations for stress management to prevent stress eating, and how the idea of treats fits into a Paleo template. And don't miss hearing Michelle shares her kitchen staples and what she does when she doesn't have a lot of time to cook. This is a fun episode with two amazingly spectacular leaders in the Paleo/real food community.
