NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (AP) - A judge has dismissed a homicide by child abuse charge against a 17-year-old baby sitter, saying Charleston prosecutors did not have enough evidence.
The teen was arrested after a coroner's inquest jury last month determined she was responsible for the death of a 2-year-old girl because of extreme indifference.
The teen's lawyer argued Charleston County Coroner Rae Wooten questioned the girl at the hearing without notifying her of her right against self-incrimination.
Prosecutor Scarlett Wilson said Thursday she will review the case and look for additional evidence.
The toddler died in the hospital in July after a series of seizures and a stroke. She had a birth defect that prevented the growth of her feet.
The teen was a live-in baby sitter for the toddler and two other children.

Design the content: Sections and Categories: Joomla! 1.5
From Joomla! Documentation
The aim of this document is:-
- to explore how the content of Joomla! sites is organised in a heirachy, using Sections, Categories and Articles.
- to explore how to design the content structure
- to demonstrate how to decide which Sections and Categories are needed for a new site.
- 1 General background
- 2 Who is it written for?
- 3 Overview of the heirachy of Sections, Categories and Articles
- 4 Exploring the hierachy of Sections, Categories, Articles
- 5 Design a content heirachy for a new Web site
- 6 Where next?
- 7 Further information
General background
There are four aspects to designing a new Joomla! web site. These also apply to planning to make alterations(including upgrading versions J1.5 to J2.5+) to an existing site or planning for transferring a site that already exists in another form into the Joomla! CMS.
- The content hierarchy:
- Who you expect to use the site and what you want them to be able to do
- The layout of the menus and the position of some functionality on the page
- The graphical design of the whole site
Who is it written for?
Everyone: who is going to create a Joomla! site.
- It will also be useful to someone who is going to alter a Joomla! site.
- It is written on the assumption that you do not have experience of the structure of a Joomla! site.
- It assumes that you have explored adding and altering Articles
Overview of the heirachy of Sections, Categories and Articles
Joomla! has a heirachical structure for the content of the site. You need to know about this because it is better to plan ahead and exploit the content structure than set off in a random direction. This equally true whether you are creating a new site or altering an existing one.
- There are three levels in the content heirachy:-
- Section: the top level.
- Category: the second level.
- Articles: which are in Categories.
And, outside the heirachy but closely associated with it:-
- Menus: used for site navigation and not part of the content heirachy itself. See Background: Menus and Modules
You should already be aware of the vocabulary of Sections, Categories, Articles and Menus from other documents in this series.
Exploring the hierachy of Sections, Categories, Articles
These can best be explored by looking at the Administrator pages of an existing site.
- Login to the Back-end of a web site with content. The localhost site with the sample content is an ideal example.
- Explore the Categories, Sections and Articles and note how they relate to one another.
Sections are the top-level of organization. They should reflect the purpose of a site.
Explore the Section Manager
- Click on the Section Manager icon in the Control Panel.
The sample data on localhost has three sections, About Joomla!, News and FAQs. These are enough for this small site to divide the content in a logical way and support the purpose of the site, which is to give helpful advice about Joomla!.
- Click on the name of the Section to view details - and to edit them.
This displays the Workspace page which consists of Details and Description parts, as well as the usual Toolbar icons. The data in the Details and Description parts can be altered here. The Description appears on the Site when a Menu is created to list the contents of the Category. (Cross ref below for detail). This too can be altered using the same editor as that used for Articles on the site.
Help For a lot more detailed information about what you can do using the Section Workspace page - click the Icon at the top of the screen.
- Categories are the second level of organization. Every Section contains one or more Categories.
- There is a special Section, built into Joomla!, called 'Uncategorized'. This is outside the content hierachy but can be displayed through a menu item.
Explore the Category Manager
- Click on the Category Manager icon in the Control Panel.
The sample data has nine categories. A larger site - or one that exploits Categories for displaying Articles - can have a lot more.
- Click on the title to open a Category for editing. This will show the Workspace page which is similar to that for Sections, except that it allows the Section to be chosen or displayed. Note that the Category Manager lists which Section the Category is in. Explore this as needed - it is where you can publish/unpublish Categories or alter the order in which they are displayed in pull-down lists.
Help - a lot more detailed information about what you can do using Category Management - click the Icon
- Sections, Categories and Articles work together to create a hierachy of items.
- Sections and Categories group articles in a logical structure that makes the site easier to use, manage and understand.
- Articles are organised inside Categories, which are themselves organised within Sections. This is the organisation of the Articles in the Back-end.
- This structure is used by the Menu system. But the menus are not necessarily the same as the back-end content structure.
- There are built-in layouts in Joomla! that take advantage of this organization and make it possible to list articles that belong to Sections or Categories.
Design a content heirachy for a new Web site
For a New web site you need to:-
- design a suitable hierachy for new content
There is no automatic way to do this - you have to think about it and whether you are going to want to exploit blog and list layouts.
Blog and list layouts: These are choices for displaying articles under different types of menus - see
Note that the sample site - and many others - use a variety of techniques. They do not limit themselves to one level in the heirachy but set up the design to allow for multiple levels of content and also some blog and list layouts.
Looking at what information you are going to have on your site
This is like Entity/Relationship modelling for database design.
Every web site has a purpose and to get a good content structure, you need to understand what you are going to try communicate. This is not entirely straight forward. When it has all been done and in retrospect, it looks easy. But it is actually challenging to identify the main Sections / Categories and translate these into likely content. And then deal with Menus to present the content in the most helpful way.
Back to paper and pencil as a starting point!
Things to think about:-
- How clear are you as to what the content will be exactly?
- It may help if there is an existing site, or a similar one which will give hints about likely topics.
- What are the main topics to be covered?
- Some sites lend themselves to being thought of as heirachies and others do not fall so easily into place. There may be a number of separate topics, for example.
- How much content you expect
- Does the content change a lot
- How dynamic or interactive is the Site intended to be?
- Are there to be a lot of visitors adding their own content?
The final design depends a lot on the range of content and whether you can think of it in a Section/Category heirachy.
If you are not in a hurry and not very experienced, there is a lot to be said for:-
- Serendipity: you can alter things as you go along and as you get more experience? You do not have to stick rigidly to your thoughts. But it worth having an inital plan, even if you change it in the light of experience.
A pencil and paper iterative process
The advantage of thinking it out is that you do not get distracted by how you are going to implement the design - you just focus on the content.
- A list: Make an initial list of the content you know is going to be displayed on the web site. Then add a note as to whether the items can be grouped in any way.
- Write it out: Take some slips of paper and on each one write the name of an item of content.
- Add other information: to help you group things together. Consider things like whether there will be a lot of content changes - who might update it.
- Organise the slips to make a heirachy. They can be moved around and as you do this - you will notice things you have not included.
List the Sections and Categories out clearly ready to create them on the web site.

One of the most famous children's authors in literature was Theodore Geisel, more commonly known as Dr. Seuss. Although his books, "The Cat in the Hat", "Green Eggs and Ham", Horton Hears A Who" and others were written for children, much of what he wrote can certainly be applied to readers of all ages. For your next blogging assignment, you are to read the following passage from his book, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!" and post your interpretation of what he was trying to tell his readers and reflect on what this means to you. It is expected that your post be well thought out and meaningful. Additionally, attention to capitalization, punctuation and grammar will be graded. Your post is due prior to your next class.
"You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own.
And you know what you know.
And you are the guy
Who'll decide where you go."

There are two certitudes commonly assigned to mid-century designer Alexander Girard: He was the least well-known of the great designers at Herman Miller in the 1950s and 1960s, and he was the greatest colorist and textile designer of modern time. Although seemingly contradictory, both statements are accurate and are a reflection of Girard and the time period in which he worked. During his career, Girard energized the furniture designs of his Herman Miller colleagues with a new, vibrant color palette and an oeuvre of folk-inspired textiles. He was the first modern designer to define textiles as being more than just functional and to further emphasize form through the application of color and pattern. Read more >

Edmonton would be wise to pay close attention to how the Blackhawks were built as each club started the same way.

When Scott Howson started as Blue Jackets GM he inherited a messy team and while he got them to the playoffs, he couldn't keep them there.
The Scott Howson era is finished in Columbus and nay, there was never a dull moment. As much as he was pilloried by pundits and the general public, this is still the only GM in team history to take the franchise to the playoffs.

He's not the most important, nor is he the best, but no player has more influence on the division than Milan Lucic.
The most influential player in the Northeast Division is Boston Bruins left winger Milan Lucic. Montreal's Carey Price may be more important to his team and the Bruins' Zdeno Chara may be the best player, but no other skater has changed the landscape like 'Looch.

With so many games packed in to a condensed schedule, teams with strong legs and quick play will excel.
In a shortened season, everything is magnified. That means it's never too early to look for trends and even if the play was a little sloppy in the first days of the 2013 season, the maxim "speed kills" certainly made itself known.

Poached Ego! is the sixth episode of Pokémon: Advanced Generation. Jessie and James have to release Arbok and Weezing in order to save them. Unlike any other episodes Jessie and James had more screen time than Ash, Brock, May, and Max did.
Our heroes are headed for Rustboro City, where Ash hopes to have his first real gym battle in Hoenn. Team Rocket is making their way along the same path when they stumble upon a cage full of Ekans. Jessie is delighted that their work has been done for them and orders Arbok to attack. Arbok can't manage to attack the helpless Ekans, however, because it remembers when it used to be an Ekans. Jessie is sympathetic. James soon makes a similar concession when they find a cage of Koffing that Weezing will not hurt. The cages belong to a poacher named Rico who uses his Fearow and Pupitar to chase off Team Rocket. Team Rocket returns to the scene, now hoping to free the Ekans and Koffing. Things turn dangerous when Rico's Pupitar evolves into a Tyranitar, and Team Rocket is forced to make the ultimate sacrifice for the Pokémon that they love.
Ash, Brock and Max travel to Rustboro City, but May (as usual) does not catch them behind. Max notices on his Poke Navigator a Pokemon Center nearby, so Brock encourages May to go. May lets Brock's arm out and spots a strange object sticking in a tree. They all notice that the nearby trees have been scratched for some reason...
When they arrive to the Pokemon Center, Brock goes to charm Nurse Joy, but May begins to greet Nurse Joy, thinking it is the same as in Oldale Town. Joy explaines that it is her older sister. Max shows May a picture of all Nurse Joy-s in Hoenn, saying they all look the same. Brock disagrees, stating that all Nurse Joy-s have something unique. Officer Jenny appears and Brock goes to her to charm her. Max shows May a picture of all Officer Jenny-s in Hoenn region as well. Jenny came to tell that she saw some poachers in the region and wants to check if there are any injured Pokemon Nurse Joy might have healed recently. Ash gives Jenny an amulet they found in the forest, so they go to the site.
Team Rocket spy again, planning to steal the Pokemon from the Center. Mewoth proposes to have an original plan, but as he is thinking, he falls from the hill. As he stands up, he sees a tent, revealing to be a cage full of injured Ekans. Meowth communicates with them, realizing they were captured by a poacher. Meowth tries to free them, but electroductes himself. Jessie and James come down, riding on Arbok and Weezing.
They all agree it would be best to free them. Jessie orders Arbok to use Acid, but Arbok cries because he was an Ekans before and does not want them to be hurt more. Jessie says that Meowth and James should skip their meal to feed the Ekans (as they will use them), so orders Arbok to attack the cage using Acid. Nothing happened, so James orders his Weezing to use Sludge, but a Fearow attacks him. The poacher appears, starting asking questions. The Team Rocket chant, and Weezing spots that the poacher took the Koffing. The poacher introduces himself as Rico and intimidates Jessie and James to give him Weezing and Arbok to him.
Rico orders his Fearow to attack with Agility, while Jessie orders her Arbok to attack with Poison Sting and James Sludge to his Weezing. Fearow dodges and uses Fury Attack. Fearow attacks with Drill Peck, while Jessie tells Arbok to use its Wrap attack on Fearow's beak. Rico calls his Fearow back and calls Pupitar to attack with Sandstorm. Pupitar blasts them off.
Back at the forest, May shows where they found the amulet, when Max shows the tire tracks on the ground. Team Rocket are seen again, though they notice a pack of Beedrills nearby. The Beedrills attack, while Team Rocket flee. A Cacnea is blocking their way, though the Cacnea attacks the Beedrills. James offers the Cacnea some cookies for the help, while Arbok smells where Rico is. Ash's Taillow scouts, finding Rico driving his vehicle with the captured Pokemon. Taillow comes back to the gang, leading them to the Poacher.
The poacher stops, finding Jessie's Arbok. While he prepares to capture him, Weezing uses SmokeScreen to Rico. Fearow clears the smoke, revealing Meowth trying to open the cage. Despite the electricity, Meowth does not fail. Fearow is about to attack Mewoth with Drill Peck, but Arbok attacks it with Headbutt, knocking the Fearow onto the cage. Meowth opens the cage, freeing the Ekanses and Koffigs out. Rico is about to capture them, but Arbok and Weezing attack him.
Rico calls his Pupitar, who evolves into a Tyranitar! Weezing uses SmokeScreen, but Tyranitar uses Hyper Beam, despite the heavy smoke. The Hyperbeam caused a hole, but Jessie brings her Wobbuffet, as it can redirect attacks. Unfortunately, it does not use the attack! Tyranitar uses Hyper Beam again, destroying everything nearby. Jessie and James then decide that Arbok and Weezing should lead the Ekans and Koffing out. Despite their own will to stay with Team Rocket, they go from the area.
Tyranitar is about to use Hyper Beam, but Meowth scratches it. However, Tyranitar uses the attack on Meowth instead. Jessie, James and Meowth attack the Tyranitar, getting hurt from Tyranitar's attacks. Weezing and Arbok witness everything, but still continue on with their mission to get Ekans and Koffing away. Jessie, James and Meowth are beaten, but they still try to stop Rico from capturing Pokemon. However, Rico leaves them.
Ash, Brock, May, Max and Jenny intercept Rico. Rico sends Fearow, but Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, defeating it. Rico is about to bring Tyranitar, but Jenny's Growlithe seizes the Pokeballs. Rico is arrested. Jessie and James worry about Arbok and Weezing, but Cacnea appears. James opens the cookie bag and gives the cookie to Cacnea. The episode ends with Cacnea joining Team Rocket, while also stinging James.
Human Debuts
Pokémon Debuts
- "So not fair... I didn't even get a chance to talk to her this time!" - Brock
- The Who's that Pokémon? of this episode is Larvitar.
- This is the last we see of Jessie's Arbok and James' Weezing.
- At the end of this episode, James catches a Cacnea who has the same comic effect as his old Victreebel (except it's with its arms).
- The song that plays during the scene involving Arboc and Wheezing leaving and watching Rico and Team Rocket fighting is Tears of Life from Mewtwo Strikes Back.

As yet another winter storm moves into Maine, the snow removal budgets in some cities and towns are reaching the breaking point. Portland has already had its fifth snowiest February on record. Other municipalities in York, Cumberland, Knox and Androscoggin Counties have had so much snow that they now qualify for federal disaster relief funding. And as Jay Field reports, Kennebec County may soon join the list.
In Waterville, where Mark Turner runs the public works department, the problem isn't so much the amount snow the city has had this winter. Turner says the city has dealt with plenty of big storms in recent years, but the timing was good. "The storms all happened during the work day - on Monday through Friday. So that benefitted us significantly, as far as costs go," Turner says.
You see, when it snows during the week, Turner doesn't have to pay the city's twelve plow drivers as much overtime. But this winter, virtually all of the big storms have hit on weekends.
"During the blizzard we had guys working two to three days," he says. "And then we have to do a clean up, final clean up afterwards for the downtown area. So some of these guys had almost 30 hours of overtime."
That's forced the city to use up 90 percent of the money it had budgeted for overtime this winter. Turner says his fuel budget is also stretched thin. It's the same story in other cities and towns, especially in southern Maine, where Nemo, the big blizzard, dumped the most snow.
Portland set aside just over $1 million for snow removal this winter and has used up almost all of it. Biddeford is $65,000 over budget on overtime. But Rob McAleer says some relief may be on the way. McAleer runs the Maine Emergency Management Agency.
"We had four counties - and that's York, Cumberland, Knox and Androscoggin - that sent to us estimation of how much the storm cost them," he says.
The counties, and the state, it turns out, are eligible for disaster relief funds from the federal government. McAleer says it's now up to Gov. Paul LePage to decide whether he wants to ask for a disaster declaration from the federal government.
"If we receive a disaster declaration, then those allowable expenses would be refunded at a rate of 75 percent by the federal government, 15 percent by the state, and then the locals would have to pick up the other 10 percent," McAleer says.
McAleer says the situation in Waterville and Augusta, which has also been shelling out a lot in overtime pay, makes it likely that Kennebec County would also qualify. And he's encouraging other counties to add up their snow removal numbers too.
Of course, not every part of the state is strugglign like southern Maine.
"What we're hearing, overall, from our members is that their road budget are holding up pretty well," says Eric Conrad, who is with the Maine Municipal Association, which represents town and city governments, large and small, across the state. "They have about a third, or maybe a quarter, of the money and supplies that they need still left, and they only have March to go."
Conrad, though, is quick to add that this IS Maine, a state where snow throughout March - and even into April - is not uncommon.

Now, same floor, with Carerra marble or Barre Granite at $75-100/SF - so do you want him charging you $150-200/SF labor when it takes almost exactly the same time regardless of material ?
To put it in simple terms, contractors:
1) figure the amount and cost of materials and consumables needed from the plans and specifications, applying a markup (from 15-50%, depending on contractor and how fancy or specialized a job it is).
2) Then they figure the equipment needed and the operating time to be used or elapsed time to be rented or leased - either opperating hour or elapsed time, or combination of both, especially if it consumes fuel
3) They then figure the labor time for the various trades required to do the job, maybe add an efficiency or ease of work multiplier to those hours to fit the job conditions, multiply those hours by the hourly pay rates, then multiply that times the "load" or "Labor Overhead" to account for employment taxes, workman's compensation costs, health plan, etc, etc.
4) Then they add in the cost of any architect or engineer plans or certifications that are needed, government permits and inspections, etc.
5) Then they add in any subcontractor bids, with appropriate contingency amount for each.
6) All those above totals are added up, an appropriate overall contingency added if needed (typically 5-10%, but on remote site jobs I have seen as high as 200%), and (depending on how contractor figures his costs) at least all the "in-house" costs like his equipment, consumables, and labor costs have a percentage overhead and profit added to them - typically about 100-150%. Some contractors use a lower overhead percentage but apply it to the total estimated job cost, not just in-house costs.
This "company overhead" or "general overhead" or "G&A - General and Administrative Overhead" covers the costs of financing and running the company, management and secretarial and general supply and maintenance costs, buildings and equipment yards lease or mortgage cost, working capital cost, insurance, loan interest, general shop equipment payments, profit, etc. Some contractors use a lower overhead and apply it to every cost in the job, some (especially those doing government work so havingto adhere to government accounting rules) apply a "markup percentage" to materials and rental costs and outside subcontract services, and apply G&A overhead only to in-house costs.
That being said, for a general class of work it does generally (on normal jobs) work out that there is a general multiple of labor to materials cost. For instance, yard work and residential tree work is heavy on labor, so it might have a labor to materials ratio of 3:1 or even 5:1. Detail foundation hand excavation and underpinning can run to 5:1 or more. Many types of building construction like plumbing, tile, carpentry, etc. do end up with a very roughly 2:1 or 3:1 ratio of labor to materials cost. At the other extreme, high energy efficiency or hurricane rated glass installation or a fancy full-building computer and communications system or high-end entertainment center might have a labor to materials ratio of 0.25-0.5 because it is designed to go in pretty fast, but the materials cost a lot.
For your case, a hardscaping ratio could run from 0.5:1 or less to as much as 3:1 or more, for installations with very expensive imported stone and fancy woods and a lot of bought decorative items such as statuary, to the opposite labor-intensive landscaping with lots of sidehill terracing and hand-planted flower beds, hand-dug irrigation system trenches, and manual-placed concrete block or railroad tie walls. Each job should be figured on its own merits - using a "rule-of-thumb" is where people commonly get unpleasantly surprised. That is why you typically get 3 bids unless you have a contractor you trust from prior experience and are confident will give you a fair shake regardless of being sole-sourced. Personally, both for my own purposes and professionally in the design and construction business, I have found sole-source to trusted contractors you have experience with is, in the long run, a BIG money and time saver, as well as making it far more likely to finish on schedule and let you sleep at night.
You need a general contractor - prefereably one who specializes in additions, because you have excavation, waterproofing, concrete, concrete cutting, carpentry, door and window, etc trades to coordinate.
The cost will depend a great deal on your topography around the house - if the base of the window will be above ground level at least 6 inches, then could run about $500 for a legal egress window purchase and about $1000-2000 for installation, depending on how deep into the concrete you have to cut.
If the bottom of the window will be below ground level, then to call it a bedroom (which mandates legal sized second egress and usauully at least one window) then you will have two choices - bring it out into a solid watertight concrete storm cellar with collar to keep water out, stairs, and and weather and bug-tight cellar door that is inward-opening, which means a lot of space for stairs and landings top and bottom, or bring it out into an oversized window well at least 36 inches in diameter, and with steps to ground level, with adequate drainage and waterproofing to keep it dry. Either way, sometimes about as easy to put in an outside door as a window, and might raise property value more. Cost from $2-5,000 depending on how deep into concrete wall you have to dig, whether concrete wsall needs reinforcing with steel frame because of the depth of cut, how easy the digging is, and what your water conditions are near the foundation. The last thing you want to do is create an easy water or vermin ingress with your egress.
The cost to install the veneer stone has a wide range do to many factors. It can range from around $9 to $17 per square foot. It depends on the location, the stone being used, job access, skaffolding needs, wall prep and such. I would think you would be on the lower end of the scale. Your job is on a concrete surface so it eliminates one of the biggest problems they are having with this product, wall preperation. This one of the things that separates the high bidders from the low ones. There are million dollars homes being torn down because of improper wall prep. One a wood frame house a backing system that allows drainage is a must or the moisture absorbed by the veneer can rot the walls behind with alarming speed. Some have had makor damage within the first four years. On a concrete wall the veneer needs no such prep at most wire mesh applied if it is an older concrete wall.
Is the wall that the garage is sloped toward and adjacent wall of the home?
If not, it should not be of real concern.
Try to keep the water out of the garage with a gasket on the door.

A "Sage" (仙人, Sennin) is someone who is able to utilise senjutsu (仙術, Literally meaning: Sage Techniques), and has mastered the art of Sage Mode or someone given said title because of their renown for their great power, wisdom, or holy standing.
Main articles: Senjutsu and Sage Mode Senjutsu (仙術, English TV: Sage Jutsu, Literally meaning: Sage Techniques) is a specialised field of techniques that allows the user to sense and then gather natural energy. Senjutsu practitioners learn to draw the energy of nature inside of them, blending it with their own chakra. This adds a new dimension of power to the practitioner's chakra, resulting in the creation of "senjutsu chakra" (仙術チャクラ, senjutsu chakura). Very few people are shown to have mastered senjutsu. This is because both learning and using senjutsu is not safe; death may easily occur while learning to use it. Fukasaku claims that the toad sculptures on Mount Myōboku are those who failed to master the art of senjutsu. Naruto Uzumaki, Kabuto Yakushi, Hashirama Senju, Orochimaru and Jiraiya are currently the only known human users of senjutsu, while Orochimaru would be capable in a suitable body. Other animals such as Fukasaku and Shima are also able to use it with the White Snake Sage and Great Toad Sage amongst others, being at least knowledgeable in it.
Other Uses
"Sage" can also refer to an individual renowned for their great power, wisdom, or holy standing.
- The Sage of the Six Paths was one of the most famous sages in the series, a legendary figure who discovered chakra, created modern ninjutsu, the one who saved the world from the Ten-Tails and was the first jinchūriki. It is unknown if he too was capable of using natural energy.
- Son Gokū's moniker: The Great Sage Equalling Heaven (斉天大聖, Seiten Taisei) also makes mention of being a Sage.

Cracker Barrel says it's had second thoughts about coming to the Bear City.
New Bern city officials say the popular restaurant chain has changed its mind about building a location at the New Bern Mall.
The city says Cracker Barrel cited the cost of the project for the change in plans, including prepping the location next to the Chil-Fil-A.
New Bern says the owners of the mall say the southeast corner of their property is a prime site for development and they are confident another tenant will be found.
Cracker Barrel has locations in Greenville, Jacksonville, Rocky Mount, Roanoke Rapids and Wilson here in Eastern Carolina.

Members of Parliament seeking to move a vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Mizengo Pinda yesterday marshaled 66 of the 70 signatures, only to learn that the motion could not be moved during the current session.
Speaker Anne Makinda explained yesterday that according to the country's constitution any motion for a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister cannot be moved in the National Assembly if it is not related to his responsibilities or allegations that the Prime Minister has contravened leadership ethics.
She said that the motion cannot also be moved if six months have not lapsed since the appointment of the PM or nine months since a similar motion was moved in the House and rejected by the National Assembly.
Makinda said a motion for a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister can be passed by the National Assembly if a written notice signed and supported by twenty percent of the MPs was submitted to the Speaker at least fourteen days prior to the day on which the motion was intended to be moved in the House.
She further said that according to the Parliamentary standing orders a motion for a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister shall be passed only if it is supported by a majority of the Members of Parliament.
Makinda said that basing on the country's constitution and the Parliament Standing Orders the move which was initiated to seek 70 signatures of MPs to move a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister cannot be tabled in the ongoing parliament session as it has not met the required conditions.
Makinda said that the parliament was going to be adjourned on Monday, advising the MPs to prepare their document and if possible table it in the coming session.
The MPs who signed the document were from various political parties represented in the National Assembly, except from the United Democratic Party (UDP).
Only four CCM members had signed the document by yesterday according to Zitto Kabwe.
Collection of signatures started a few minutes before the morning session of the National Assembly, with Kabwe Zitto accompanied by the new Arumeru East MP Joshua Nassari and Mbozi West legislator David Silinde standing at the Parliamentary main gate handing out the forms for the MPs to sign.
The exercise continued in the House as Zitto Kabwe was seen moving from one MP to another giving out forms, a move which he later said was successful.
The MP explained he was doing so not as Chadema member, but because the issue at hand was of national interest.
Zitto who was accompanied by Ludewa MP Deo Filikunjombe said already 66 MPs from Chadema, CUF, CCM, NCCR-Mageuzi and Tanzania Labour Party had signed the forms.
He said only UDP had refused to sign. UDP is represented by John Cheyo who is Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC), one of the committees which reported serious embezzlement of public funds, the basis of the attacks on ministers by MPs.
Other oversight committees included the Parastatal Organisation Accounts Committee (POAC) of which Zitto is the chairman and Local Authority Accounts Committee chaired by Augustine Mrema who has also signed the forms.
According to Zitto, the headquarters of the Civil United Front (CUF) had instructed all its MPs to sign the document to move a motion for a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister.
"We are doing this to press the responsible ministers to quit. If they don't, we will force the PM to resign," said Zitto.
"We have placed national interest first and other issues like ideology have been sat aside. People should understand that this is not a Chadema move, it is a national issue.
We are dealing with ministers who are killing this nation. People who were given the responsibility to supervise the funds are part of the team of swindlers," said Zitto.
He said MPs were tired of the habit of the government not living up to the expectations of the people.
Zitto said every year the Controller and Auditor General released reports, but the government has never acted resolutely on the recommendations.
"It is only this time that MPs have been moved by the CAG report after discovering that a lot of money had been misused or stolen," said Zitto. Regarding the motion, he said they want to move from a sleeping parliament to a practical institution."
"We want what we say as a parliament to be taken on board by the government," stressed Zitto.
On why they targeted the PM, Zitto said they loved and respected him a lot, but the nation came first.
"He has no problem. We know his duties and as parliamentarians we are aware that he has no powers of appointing ministers. But he is the leader of government business in the house.
If his ministers misbehave, we cannot deal directly with them, we deal with him. It is up to him to decide to convince the President to fire the nonperforming ministers or risk a no confidence vote," explained Zitto.
He suggested that another option was for the named ministers to relinquish their positions to spare the PM.
He said they were carrying out the exercise under the parliamentary standing order 133 of the parliament. Article 53 of the Union Constitution speaks of the Prime minister, outlining the procedure for MPs to pass a vote of no confidence in the Prime Minister.
For his part, MP Filikunjombe said they were doing the right thing in collecting the signatures for a motion to impeach the PM.
"What we are stressing is that this is one parliament and we are working as one people to protect the interest of the people who sent us here," he stressed.
Filikunjombe said he was called by the Minister of State, Prime Minister's office William Lukuvi for a chat, but he made sure that he had signed before meeting the minister.

I wanted to write about frogs. Bullfrogs, in particular. The way even the smallest of them have deep, resonant voices. How deep, loud noises, like a plane approaching the airport or certain trucks, trigger their call. How they hunt down worms they spotted 20 feet away on level ground. In the dark. How they sit, stock still, waiting for something.
But then Sara Robinson said the S-word — sedition — and, while cautioning us not to throw that word around the way we've thrown "fascist" around, detailed just how seditious the American right is these days.
And a bunch of bigoted people — apparently white and black this time — pulled a stunt that was pulled a lot back when desegregation became law of the land. They held a secret, private prom, this time not telling the gay girl where it was and, in fact, sending her and a few other people they didn't like off to the wrong location.
And the Heritage Foundation decreed that the United States is no longer free, just mostly free, not because we wiretap anybody we don't like and torture them — that's not part of the criteria, this being about economic freedoms — or because the health insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies and banks have nearly ruined us — because the American people aren't part of their criteria either — but because we have too much regulation of business and such. Of course, the seven countries ahead of the United States on their list are
Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, Switzerland, and Canada, in that order.
Yes, the Heritage Foundation would be more satisfied if our economic freedoms were more in line with countries that have socialized medicine, impose higher tax rates, and in Ireland's case, is in need of a massive bailout to prevent a catastrophe.
Oh, yeah, and Wikileaks released the video that proves at least some of our fine servicemembers aren't and that the military covered up the killings of innocents.
And the death threats continue from the oh so reasonable right. Patty Murray got one that included some incredibly vile language along with the death threat.
Senator … Fuck you. You are fired. You are 86'ed. Fuck you, you Pike Street fucking whore. You fucking slut. Come over to Yakima and list — Come on down to Grandview and get some more spit dick there, you old fucking cunt.
And John Lewis. Well, just take a look at the phone call he got.
Yes, Bill Ves, calling from (inaudible) I ain't gonna get no health insurance, tell that son of a bitch that, I ain't getting the damned health insurance. That goddamned nigger, don't tell me I gotta get some goddamned health insurance. I ain't paying no goddamned fine. Tell that nigger he can come put my ass in jail if he don't like it. Goddamn worthless nigger, and all them other niggers that voted for him. That nigger Obama and them white trash honkies that voted for that damned communist, socialist stuff. Dumb motherfuckers, Goddamn! I ain't getting the goddamned mandatory health insurance from some bitch motherfuckers! Goddamn bunch of nigger,white trash honkies, sone of a bitch communist who voted for this shit. I didn't go fight in no goddamned wart so I could be forced to do something I don'[t want to do. So fuck all y'all niggers. Fuck you John Lewis, you goddamned worthless, communist nigger.
And of course the Catholic Church's pedophile problem continues unabated. What else but a religious organization could escape Congressional hearings and FBI investigations? Imagine. What if this had been, say, ACORN?
Republicans keep lying too. Government takeover of health insurance. Yeah right. If only. The lastest is this doozy from Newt Gingrich — the government's plan to confiscate your retirement plans to pay for the deficit. It'd be funny if so many people didn't believe it.
A Massey Energy coal mine blew up in West Virginia. Twenty-five dead. Massey's CEO is a big ole teabagger named Don Blankenship. Teabaggers don't like government regulation. Government regulation makes mines safe. Mmmm.
Know what else? ExxonMobile didn't pay a dime in federal income tax last year. Neither did General Electric, although the company generated $10 billion in revenue. ExxonMobile, by the way, had a $45 billion profit, but it all went into the overseas accounts of subsidiaries. And we wonder why we have a deficit. Well, it ain't government programs to help its citizens, that's for damn sure.
John "No more cooperation from me" McCain and Joe "Fuck You" Lieberman have introduced a new bill into the Senate, one that would codify the Bush administration's treatment of "enemy combatants" — you know, throw 'em into Gitmo or some other military brig, make it hard for them to get lawyers and don't even bring charges against 'em. Forget civilian courts.
This is the kind of Constitution-shredding, civil liberties abolishing, tyrannical legislation you'd think would have the Tea People screaming at the top of their lungs and Sarah rethinking her support for its sponsor, John McCain. That it has slid by unnoticed with the largest screamers on the national stage right now is perhaps more troubling than the bill itself, which let's hope dies a quick death.
Pay attention, people. Yes, I'm talking to you idiots in the tri-cornered hats yammering about crap of which you have no clue. Giving citizens access to a private, for profit health insurance market is not fascism, tyranny, or totalitarianism. Declaring U.S. citizens "enemy belligerents" and detaining them in military prisons indefinitely without trial is.
Bob McDonnell, the woman- and gay-hating Republican governor of Virginia just proved women and gays aren't all he hates. He quietly declared April "Confederate History Month" in his state.
And if that's not enough, former Tsalagi (Cherokee) Chief Wilma Mankiller died. She was one of my heroes, and I was privileged to meet both the chief and her husband Charlie Soap at a Martin Luther King Day celebration many years ago. Charlie and I had a long and wide-ranging conversation while we waited for the chief's time on the stage to end.
Wilma was the Tsalagi's principle chief for a decade, from 1985 to 1995, choosing not to run for re-election. Too many of her tribe couldn't understand her push to bring social programs to the reservation where Andy Jackson, that son-of-a-bitch, left them to rot after driving them out of their mountains and valleys in the Southeast. They wanted the quick fixes, like casinos. Unfortunately, Oklahoma hasn't been kind to those ideas.
The world has lost a huge section of its heart with Wilma's death, and I have lost a friend.
Do-na-da-`go-v-i, v-ga-nu-we-u-we. To-hi-do.
And with that, the ka-nu-nu begin their nightly chorus.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- There are more than 800 privately employed Ohio police officers who carry guns, use deadly force, and have the authority to search, detain, and arrest people.
And under state law, they're all allowed to keep their records secret, even from crime victims.
A special report by The Columbus Dispatch found (http://bit.ly/KuBkLX) that the private police officers work for 39 employers made up of mostly private universities and hospitals.
They, like their employers, are exempt from the public-records laws that public-sector police agencies must follow.
Critics, including Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine, say it's time to demand the same accountability and transparency from private police officers.
DeWine tells the newspaper that he will ask state legislators to change Ohio law to make private police forces subject to public-records laws.

Fact Sheet: Barrett's Esophagus527
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC; Ronnie Fass, MD
Norman Barrett was a pathologist. In 1950, he described an abnormality in the lining of the lower esophagus that bears his name (i.e., Barrett's esophagus). We now believe that it is due to severe, longstanding, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Significantly, most people with GERD have no such abnormality. Nevertheless, the presence of Barrett's esophagus is an important observation since those who have it are at greater than normal risk of developing cancer of the esophagus.

Fact Sheet: H2 Blockers - Indications, Effectiveness and Long-term Use528
By: W. Grant Thompson, MD, FRCPC
The H2 blockers (also called H2 antagonists) were the first effective drugs for peptic ulcer. In the 1980s, they were the backbone of treatment for ulcers and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Now, antibiotics cure non-NSAID ulcers, and proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) are better for GERD. Therefore, H2 antagonists face an uncertain future as prescription drugs. Nonetheless, they are comparatively cheap, effective, and very safe for heartburn relief. Lower dose preparations are available over-the-counter. Reviewed and updated 2009.
Fact Sheet: Heartburn, Hiatal Hernia, and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) in Adults and Children530
By: Information Adapted from the National Diseases Information Clearinghouse NIH
Gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) does not close properly and stomach contents leak back, or reflux, into the esophagus. The LES is a ring of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus that acts like a valve between the esophagus and stomach. The esophagus carries food from the mouth to the stomach.Topics: GER, GERD, GER, GERD, Heartburn, Other Disorders/Symptoms
Fact Sheet: Unusual Symptoms and GERD532
Answers to the questions: "Can GERD cause oral symptoms, specifically changes in saliva, or damage to the teeth, tonsils, or uvula (the fleshy structure hanging from the center of the soft palate at the back of the mouth)?

Fact Sheet: Another Complication of Reflux: Laryngeal Pharyngeal Reflux (LPR)546
Many patients with throat discomfort are surprised when they are told that they have laryngeal pharyngeal reflux (LPR). Gastric acid can cause significant inflammation when it falls on the vocal cords. If this happens repeatedly, a person can be left with a number of bothersome throat problems, such as hoarseness, frequent throat clearing, coughing, or the sensation that there is something stuck in their throat. Many patients with LPR do not have any of the typical GERD symptoms. This has lead to some controversies and misunderstandings about LPR.Topics: Esophageal Disorders, GER, GERD, Heartburn, Swallowing

Divination (class)
this wiki
- "So you have chosen to study Divination, the most difficult of all magical arts. I must warn you at the outset that if you do not have the Sight, there is very little I will be able to teach you. Books can take you only so far in this field..."
- —Sybill Trelawney talking to the class about Divination[src]
Divination is a subject taught at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It teaches methods of divining the future, or gathering insights into future events, through various rituals and tools. The magic taught in this class, as well as the ability to say prophetic things is a branch of magic referred to as "divination."
Headmaster Albus Dumbledore had originally decided that this course should no longer be taught at Hogwarts, it being considered obscure and inaccurate to most. However, seeing the applicant for the teaching post was the famous great-great-granddaughter of a celebrated seer, Dumbledore decided to give her a chance. When she made a Prophecy that impressed Dumbledore, she was granted the position (though the true reason was to protect her from Lord Voldemort, who wanted to hear the rest of the prophecy).
Class information
- "Broaden your minds, my dears, and allow your eyes to see past the mundane!"
- —Sybill Trelawney to a Divination class[src]
Divination is an elective subject available beginning in a student's third year. Students study a myriad of ways to scry information about the future, including tea dregs, crystal balls, visions, and Astrology and horoscope charts. Other methods of divining the future include smoke patterns, dreams, tarot cards, and the interpretation of prophecies, though the latter is quite rare. Guides and textbooks allow students of Divination to discern or translate what observed symbols intend to mean.
Students of this class convene in one of two places: Professor Sybill Trelawney's office in the North Tower, or the Divination Classroom which is on the ground floor of the castle.
Because the subtle science of Divination is not exact, and "woolly", Hermione Granger had great difficulty with, and disdain for, it. After consulting with Professor Minerva McGonagall, who shared Hermione's scepticism for Divination, and then being insulted by Professor Trelawney about how she lacked the requirements for Divination, Hermione dropped out of the class altogether with dramatic flair to concentrate on Ancient Runes and Arithmancy.
Some students, such as Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, also could not achieve any success in this course, and regretted ever taking it. In order to scrape a pass in the course, they merely made up plenty of things when it comes to predicting the future, not taking the work seriously. They usually added plenty of tragedies, so Professor Trelawney would be satisfied, despite the false predictions could be far-fetched. They would also make fun out of the class whenever possible, as when Ron saw nothing but thick white swirl in the crystal ball, he joked about foreseeing a very foggy night, to which his friends laughed.
Professor Trelawney
- Trelawney: "The fates have informed me that your examination in June will concern the Orb, and I am anxious to give you sufficient practice."
- Hermione: "Well honestly...'the fates have informed her'... Who sets the exam? She does!"
- — Professor Trelawney and Hermione Granger in Divination[src]
Sybill Trelawney began teaching Divination circa 1979, and was still teaching until 1998. Her beginner's class relied heavily on the art of scrying; however, Trelawney's teaching style did not go over well with most students. Only students Lavender Brown and Parvati Patil seemed to really take to the subject. Others fell asleep in her heavily-incensed and stifling classroom or considered the class to be a joke. Hermione Granger decided to quit the class for good, as Sybill Trelawney told her that she had not the inner eye, and because she thought Sybill Trelawney's predictions were inaccurate, and the few accurate ones are due to mere chance. Not many students liked her because they thought she was mad.
While her lessons were relatively safe, Professor Trelawney was renowned for predicting the death of a student each year. These prophecies never came true, although Lavender Brown's did find out that her pet rabbit had died on the pre-determined date Professor Trelawney dictated on her first day of class. Also, she had predicted that Neville Longbottom would break a cup from her china tea set.
Professor Firenze
Starting in 1995, Firenze began teaching Divination after Professor Trelawney was viciously fired by High Inquisitor Dolores Umbridge. Firenze's lessons took place in Classroom Eleven, on the ground floor, because he is a centaur and could not climb up a ladder. His classes focused mainly on Astrology. He continued to teach the subject in 1998.
Firenze had been kicked out of his group in the Forbidden Forest. Bane had accused him of serving humans, and banished him. He decided to work as a professor in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, as he couldn't set foot in the Forbidden Forest because he would be trampled to death by the Centaur herd.
Known O.W.L.s
Behind the scenes
- It is interesting to note that when Harry and Ron begin making up predictions in their Divination homework in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, they happen to predict, exactly, the dangers that await Harry in the Triwizard Tournament: first that he will be "in danger of burns" (the first trial of overcoming a dragon); next that he will "lose a treasured possession" (Ron, his best friend, whom he will have to recover from the Merpeople); then get "stabbed in the back by someone you thought was a friend" (his D.A.D.A. professor); and finally "come off worse in a fight" (clearly, his duel with Lord Voldemort in the Little Hangleton graveyard). Similarly, whilst they are making up predictions, Ron and Harry "foresee" that Harry will lose his bet that Ron will win his fight (which he supposedly came off worse in). This also comes true (more or less) again with respect to the Triwizard tournament as it is later revealed that Ludo Bagman lost his bet that Harry would win the Triwizard tournament outright (which culminated in Harry coming off worse). Furthermore, although we do not hear any more of their fabricated predictions after that it is noted that they grew "steadily more tragic" and even predicted their own horrific deaths - eerily enough, later events do steadily grow more tragic and many wizards and witches do die horrifically in the future (particularly in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows).
- Given the above (as well as the nature of Sybill Trelawney's gift) it may be that - with respect to the art of Divination - true talent does not lie in making accurate predictions, it is in recognising that they have been made.
- As revealed in Pottermore, J. K. Rowling had originally devised Divination to be compulsory from the first year.[1]

The signs of the times aren't very pretty in Utica. And with progress being made on other fronts, it's time city officials clean up after their political forebears and get rid of the illegal blemishes that are littering the landscape.
Those illegal blemishes are hundreds of traffic signs — mostly parking and speed limit postings — scattered across town, many erected as temporary measures but never officially approved.
Police Chief Mark Williams said most likely in many cases politicians reached out to the city's sign shop on the behalf of residents but never followed through by sponsoring legislation. As a result, rules vary widely across the city.
In addition to creating confusion, it could make enforcement difficult if it's determined the sign wasn't officially approved. For instance, Williams noted a handicapped on-street parking space still exists on one street although the person needing it no longer lives there. The current resident doesn't want it removed, however, because it prevents people from parking in front of her house.
But that — and other unnecessary signage — should be removed. Others might like similar convenience, but it's wrong.
The city plans a sign inventory this spring, working with college interns to figure out how many signs it has and whether they are supported by legislation. Necessary signage should be officially approved; otherwise, get rid of it.

Philanthropist, industrialist and inventor--Peter Cooper (1791-1883) was a native New Yorker and workingman's son with less than a year of formal schooling, who became one of the most successful American businessmen of his day. He made his fortune in iron, glue, railroads, real estate and communications. His inventions include the first trans-Atlantic telegraph cable and Tom Thumb, America's first functioning steam engine. Cooper also invented Jello--with help from his wife, Sarah, who added fruit to his clarified gelatin. Despite his many successful ventures, Cooper captured only 81,737 popular votes in his 1876 bid for the presidency as a candidate from the Greenback Party.

MADISON - Michigan State coordinators Don Treadwell and Pat Narduzzi did their best to explain why their units struggled in the Big Ten opener at Wisconsin. And at the end of the day, each coach said that neither of the offense nor the defense executed the way that they thought that they might. Michigan State's defense forced Wisconsin to punt on their first two possessions and played well for much of the first quarter. But the Spartan offense sputtered early as Kirk Cousins started cold on the first series before throwing an interception on Michigan State's second possession. That pick, the first of four turnovers by the Spartan offense, aided the Badgers in building a 7-0 lead that grew to 21-7 by halftime. Cousin's back-up Keith Nichol made some plays with his arm and his feet during the fourth quarter as Michigan State pulled within eight points of Wisconsin in the fourth quarter, but Nichol's interception in the second quarter led to another Wisconsin touchdown and put Michigan State in a corner. Neither quarterback played particularly well. Cousins bounced back after the initial pick and finished 17-34 for 201 yards with a pair of touchdowns, including a second-quarter pass in the corner of the end zone to Mark Dell, who made a spectacular catch. Cousins found B.J. Cunningham with a 20-yard strike that cut the score to 24-17 before Wisconsin scored pulled ahead by two touchdowns on the first play of the fourth quarterback. Treadwell said he felt that the offense was out of sync in the first half. "We will go back and reflect on what we had and what we were asking the kids to execute and see if there is something we need to clean up in that regard," said Treadwell. "I just didn't feel like, and I again I am in the box, but it just didn't seem like we were in sync as well as I would have anticipated that we would have been coming into a game such as this."Treadwell said he was encouraged by the way his team was able to run the ball. Michigan State didn't run the ball a lot, as they faced a sizeable deficit for much of the game, but the Spartans did average 4.1 yards per carry and got significant production from sophomore Glenn Winston, who did also turn the ball over on a costly fumble."Glenn had a couple of nice runs," said Treadwell. "I am not sure about the other kids but that is something that we have to grow in and something is going to have to continue become a big part of what we do. In order to keep the other team from getting the ball we have to do a better job maintaining some drives. In the first half, there were just too many three-and-outs."Michigan State's pass defense struggled for the third consecutive week. Dynamic tight end Garrett Graham scored three touchdowns for the Badgers and junior quarterback Scott Tolzien had strong individual performance with 243 yards passing and four touchdowns. "Obviously we didn't play good enough to win," said Narduzzi. "Give Wisconsin a lot of credit, they played their tails off. It is running football team and they really came out and started throwing it. I really do trust our linebackers and our defensive backs in coverage and obviously I am disappointed in how they are covering. We have to get them back, and we have to get them fundamentally sound. We just have to play the pass better overall. I thought we did some good things in the run game early to stop them and force them to do some other things, throw it I guess, and then they beat us up throwing the ball." ...More...
