According to project managers at BBS Architects and Engineers, all school construction projects are on schedule for the coming year. The managers also presented three-dimensional renderings of the proposed additions to Garden City middle school and high school at Tuesday's meeting of the board of education.
Homestead School will receive one additional classroom on the northeast side as well as one larger, multipurpose classroom with a dividing wall to fit multiple activities at once.
"It acts as a library, an art classroom and a music room," Gary Sheedy of BBS said. "It takes on all the functions."
The project, part of the $36.5 million bond residents passed last October, will also replace windows on the entire building. The project will go to the state for approval in the beginning of January. Construction should start next summer.
The high school is receiving a similar addition, including three new music rooms specifically for band, orchestra and chorus.
Sheedy said that the high school roof would be officially complete in the next two weeks as the construction crew finishes miscellaneous work. Sheedy also said the state has approved plans for the bus garage office building, which will go out to bid shortly after the new year.
Fred Seeba of BBS said that the energy performance contract with Con Edison Solutions is going well and that Con Ed will bring natural gas into every building, except Locust, through National Grid. Locust could not support natural gas because of an issue with its piping.
"Things are going very well, we look like we're on schedule," Seeba said. "I think we're in good shape."
In light of recent reports regarding concussions in both high schools across the country and the National Football League, district physician Dr. Ronald Feinstein detailed the district's head trauma procedure.
"When I was in training 30 years ago, head trauma was mostly concerned with people getting dramatically injured and dying or either getting totally paralyzed," Feinstein said. "Over the last decade, however, there's been more interest about the long-term effects of repeated head trauma."
That interest is with good reason. Among NFL players in a scientific study about the long-term effects of concussions, players had five times the normal rate for Alzheimer's disease as well as a higher rate for traumatic encephalopathy, which is associated with early onset dementia and emotional disturbances.
Garden City institutued a policy last year that Feinstein said has worked well. Any student-athlete who shows concussion symptoms, which include confusion, headache and slurred speech, will be taken out of the game immediately. To return to the team, the athlete must receive a doctor's note from his or her personal physician. When the athlete returns, he or she must undergo five days of practice with increasing intensity. If the athlete passes each day, he or she may return to games.
"We're not following something, we're actually ahead of it," Superintendent Robert Feirsen said.
In other news, the district announced that it would be establishing a tax certiorari reserve fund starting in 2012. After 70 years of refunding over assessments on property taxes in Garden City, Nassau County recently moved responsibility to the school districts. The district's fund must be set up on a year-to-year basis and must be close to what the district estimates its liability to residents to be.

Woman Pleads Guilty To Felonies
- Last Updated on 08:09 AM 03/17/10
- BY Staff
A 30-year-old Charlotte Courthouse woman, Goldie Lynn Bailey, pleaded guilty Friday in Halifax County Circuit Court to four felonies, two for obtaining money by false pretenses and two for conspiring to obtain money by false pretenses. Pursuant to a plea agreement with the Commonwealth, the court sentenced Bailey to five years in prison each for obtaining money by false pretenses from Cycle Works, and 10 years each for the two conspiracy convictions, with all suspended but three years, six months, based on one of the conspiracy charges.
The court ordered the suspended portion of Bailey's sentence be conditioned on her good behavior for 30 years and ordered her placed on probation for one year, with the probation period running concurrently with any court-ordered probation in Lunenburg and/or Prince Edward County stemming from convictions in those jurisdictions.
As part of the plea agreement, the Commonwealth agreed not to indict Bailey or pursue 28 additional charges against her, including 14 for conspiracy to obtain money by false pretenses, and 14 for obtaining money by false pretenses.
Other Court Case
• Paul Keith Jacocks, 42, of Halifax, entered an Alford plea Friday to two charges for having carnal knowledge of a minor older than 13 but younger than 15 years of age.
Under terms of an Alford plea, a defendant does not admit guilt but realizes prosecution evidence would make a guilty finding at trial almost a certainty.
Sentencing for Jacocks was continued to the May court term.

Purpose – This paper aims to explore front line employee performance in retail banking and presents distinct components of employee performance, including extra-role and sabotage behaviours.
Design/methodology/approach – Data was collected from Irish bank employees. Usable responses were received from 404 respondents and subjected to exploratory factor analysis. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to undertake a confirmatory factor analysis of the emergent five-factor model.
Findings – Results indicate front line employee performance is multi-faceted and comprised of civility, assurance and reliability, customer orientation, as well as extra-role behaviour and anti-role behaviour, or sabotage.
Research limitations/implications – This exploratory study focuses on the Irish banking sector. To explore the generalisabilty of results, replication studies among other samples of branch banking employees in other countries are in order. Moreover, our survey is limited to the views of branch employees. We advocate research among bank managers and customers to triangulate potentially divergent views about performance.
Practical implications – Findings have implications for recruitment, training and rewards. To ensure new hires are service minded, managers must consider their potential for extra-role or sabotage behaviour. Employees who demonstrate extra-role behaviours must be rewarded to encourage the adoption of such behaviours. Managers must also seek to minimise job stress in order to curtail anti-role behaviours.
Originality/value – This paper offers insights into employees' views about their own performance at the front line. It extends the conceptualisation of service quality, by considering extra-role behaviour and sabotage as components of employee performance.

Tough loses for Casa Grande in West Coast Jamboree
Published: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 11:14 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 11:14 a.m.
Casa Grande played well enough to compete on a high level against every rugged opponent in three games in the Gold bracket of the West Coast Jamboree, but the Lady Gauchos lost heartbreakers in each outing played at Valley Christian in Dublin.
On Saturday, Casa dropped a 47-43 decision to Amador Valley of Pleasanton.
Perennial Sacramento-based powers McNair and Florin battled for the Gold championship, with the undefeated Lady Eagles from NcNair (13-0) edging Florin 57-54.
If anything positive comes from the trio of close defeats. the results could be character builders and severely test the resolve of Casa as the team regroups to play in their first season in the North Bay League after New Year's day. After beginning NBL play on Wednesday at home against Maria Carrillo, the Gauchos travel to Cardinal Newman on Friday night.
In their final game of the Jamboree, Casa Grande (6-6) gave up 10 unanswered points to start the final period and lost to a suddenly productive Amador Valley, 47-43. Casa led, 35-28, at the end of the third stanza, but a furious Lady Don rally fueled by senior guard Alysse Ketner helped overtake Casa at the finish.
Baskets by Algela Llaverias, Lyndsey Murnin and a 3-point shot by Brooke Santander could not hold off the charging Dons.
Ketner proved to be quicker than any player on the floor, and she beat the retreating Gauchos down the floor consistently in the final period with a game changing eight points. Ketner finished with a game-high 16 points, followed by 6-foot center Courtney Seams, who scored all of her 11 points in the second half
Murnin paced the Gaucho offense with 11 points, with help from Santander, who added nine. Llavarias tallied seven and pulled down seven rebounds, but Casa was forced to rely on a perimeter offense most of the way with very little production underneath.
Reserve guard Sara Langdon ended the first half for the Gauchos with a 3-pointer from near mid-court.
Defense almost made the difference for Casa Grande in the Friday afternoon game against Foothill of Pleasanton. but the Lady Gauchos lost 48-43 in overtime after leading most of the way.
With a three point lead and only five seconds left on the clock, Casa failed to close out on hot shooting Emily Barrett, who buried an uncontested shot from well behind the arc to send the game into an extra period.
An aggressive match-up zone defense by the Gauchos limited Foothill to many forced shots and only five points in the first quarter. On many sets, the confused Eagles ran a motion offense usually designed for man defenses.
The major problem for the Gauchos was that they could not convert on the other end until less than three minutes remained when Murnin fed a good entry bounce pass to a cutting Santander.
Both teams attacked on the defensive end of the floor, and it got rough in the first quarter when Casa's leading scorer Murnin was wrestled to the floor in a wild battle for a loose ball.
Undaunted, coach Dan Sack made no excuses and rated the competition in the Gold Bracket as top notch. "All of the teams in our bracket have winning records and rated above us in early season ratings," he said. "The aggressive style of play at this level is good for us."
Senior Dayna Dolcini continued to chip in with another productive effort on defense and the boards. "She plays a very disruptive game on defense. and it is not always picked up by statistics," said Sack.
Casa fell short in the opening round, as the Lady Gauchos fell to Armijo of Fairfield, 54-51 in the first game of the extremely balanced bracket. Both clubs were conference champions in 2011, with Casa capturing the Sonoma County League title and the veteran Indians returning eight seniors after winning the Monticello Empire crown.
Armijo improved to 8-4 for the season while Sack's Gauchos let one slip away in another game that could have gone either way.
Hot-shooting Melaya Gaines rimmed 14 points for the winning Indians and point guard Marshanique Hall added nine in a big Armijo rally in the final quarter.
The Indians trailed, 39-28, going into the final period, but outscored Casa by 14 points down the stretch.
Hall made things even tougher by driving and passing out to the perimeter for a big 3-point shot by Gaines in the big final stanza.
Murnin scored 15 points, but was plagued by foul trouble in the fourth quarter during the Armijo rally. Junior forward Santander tossed in 13 for Casa.

Centreville Man Sentenced on Cocaine Offense
Antonio L. White, 31, of Centreville, Illinois, was sentenced in Federal Court in East St. Louis on October 22, 2012, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of Illinois, Stephen R. Wigginton, announced today. White had been indicted by a Federal Grand Jury sitting in East St. Louis, on April 17, 2012, and charged with one count of Possession With the Intent to Distribute Cocaine. White entered a guilty plea to that charge on June 15, 2012.
White was order to serve a term of 151 months in the custody of the United States Bureau of Prisons, followed by a term of three years of supervised release. White was also sentenced to pay a fine of $600 and a special assessment of $100.
According to the Stipulation of Facts which was filed at the time of his plea, White was arrested on February 23, 2012, by officers of the Alton Police Department and the Central Illinois Drug Task Force, after he traveled from Carlinville, Illinois, to Alton, Illinois, with the intention of purchasing cocaine for the purpose of reselling it to another individual. When his vehicle was searched 54 grams of cocaine was found.
Evidence in support of the indictment was obtained in an investigation by the South Central Illinois Drug Task Force (SCIDTF) and the Alton Police Department. This case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Randy G. Massey.

Important Electoral Date Looming
By Kentucky Public Radio
Frankfort, KY – Monday, October 6th is the voter registration deadline for Kentucky's November 4th Presidential Election. Secretary of State Trey Grayson says county clerks across the commonwealth will accept voter registration cards until the close of business Monday. If you have moved, please make sure you check to see that you are registered at your current address. Kentucky law requires you to vote where you actually live.
Minors who are 17 years old, but will be 18 on or before Election Day, are eligible to register and vote in the November election. Voter registration is up this year in Kentucky, and Democrats still outnumber Republicans, three-to-two.

We arrived in Calgary Thursday morning, 10:30am local time. By the time we got our car (most horrible rental car experience, ever) it was around noon. We toured around Calgary for a bit, stopped at an Atmosphere store (still love the Merrell barefoot shoes – soon, soon!) and had Extreme Pita for lunch.
We made it to Canmore, where we are staying until Tuesday, and spent the afternoon exploring the town.
We had a great dinner at the Grizzly Paw, a restaurant and microbrewery. They make their own beer as well as their own soda. The soda is not caffeinated, and contains 1/3 the sugar of regular pop. I had grapefruit, and it was delicious and refreshing.
Today we drove through the Kootnay National Park to Radium Hot Springs. We had read that there was a good chance of seeing wildlife on this road, and we were not disappointed.
The hot springs were awesome – there are 2 pools, the "cool" pool and the "hot" pool. The cool pool has a temperature of 29 degrees Celsius and the hot pool has a temperature of 39 degrees! It was so warm that we didn't stay in the water for much longer than 25 minutes.
We spent the rest of the afternoon driving around Canmore, up to Spray Lakes (which is 1500 feet higher than the town of Canmore and about 20km away) and even the Nordic Olympic Centre, where part of the 1988 Olympics were held.
After dinner at the hotel restaurant, I grudgingly headed down to the tiny hotel gym for a CrossFit workout. Since the gym doesn't have much equipment, I originally intended to do this workout:
But after thinking more about it I decided to go with this one instead:
I changed the push jerks to push presses, and used two 20lb dumbbells and the workout took me 10:54. The hardest part of the workout, as always, was the push presses. I have so little upper body strength still and it sucks!
Tomorrow we are renting mountain bikes and exploring Banff! Hopefully I'll be able to fit in a WOD before or after our excursion, too.
I hope everyone had a great week and that you have an even better weekend!
What is your dream vacation?

Blogging the Johnia Berry murder
Local blogger Les Jones, who guest blogs here, has been central in advocating an investigation, arrest and resolution to this case. His dogged online coverage at the very least spurred on that investigation, and I have no doubt his online advocacy aided Johnia's family.
Following yesterday's suicide of Taylor Olson, here's what Les had to say: Note that Leon was not in the apartment the night of the murder, so everything he says is at best hearsay from Cox, and at worst completely invented by Leon. It seems like the blood stains (of which there were many) would tell whether Leon's story is plausible. Police have not found Cox's blood in the apartment. Olson was the one who went into the bedroom of Berry's roommate, Jason Amiyami, who gave the police the composite sketch that matched Olson. In the absence of any physical evidence linking Cox to the crime scene I don't believe his story.
I don't know what to think about Olson's suicide. Berry's family wanted answers, and now I don't think they're going to get them.
The next time you hear someone dissing blogging, point them to Les Jones, a local, real-life example of a blogger making a difference.
Thanks for the kind words, Michael.
It was an experience. I doubt I'd ever get involved in something like that again, and certainly not under my own name. Cases like that attract some strange rangers. It's been the only time I seriously questioned my decision to blog under my own name.
How can you be sure the sketch is that of Olson. I think it looks much more like Cox than it does Olson. The one thing that I keep remembering is that Jason said (on the blog that the Berry's had up) was that the one thing he remembered most were the eyes. He said they were big and blaring. That is what I see in Cox's picture. Yes Olson certainly was there and fought with her but ???
Thats what im thinking too, it does look more like Cox. Although, when being arrested, Olson did say "I didnt mean to do it" Im thinking he would say, "im not guilty" or nothing at all.

It was a shareholder meeting unlike any Bank of America has experienced in quite a while.
For the past five years, BofA's biggest problems have been steeped in mortgage-related issues. And at its annual gathering of stockholders, those that own a piece of the bank, and those that show up just to protest, have continuously railed at BofA for its losses and foreclosure dealings.
But on Wednesday, the vast majority of those outside the meeting - and inside, where we couldn't bring our cameras - focused on BofA's impact on the environment. BofA funds more coal-producing companies than any other bank, and today shareholders and citizens begged it to stop.
June Blotnick, director of Clean Air Carolina, says coal plants emit toxins that harm our health and the environment - she wasn't surprised that the issue seemed to surpass mortgage concerns.
"The bank is the largest lender of coal in the country and with climate change, the urgency of climate change - extreme weather events - we knew a lot of people would be here," Blotnick said.
CEO Brian Moynihan pointed out that BofA also funnels billions into new energy initiatives, but he did not make any promises to pull funding from companies that mine coal.
Environmental concerns aside, BofA enjoyed the most upbeat and relaxed meeting it has had in years.
Moynihan even cracked jokes, and had the room responding.
The bank's stock is up nearly 60 percent from last May, and BofA has finally put the majority of its mortgage-related lawsuits behind it.

MLM Binary Compensation Plan- HUH?
MLM Binary Compensation Plan- HUH?
What's an MLM binary plan anyway? You'll come across several different kinds of MLM business that offer several different plans to make money. MLM binary seems to be the most popular and probably the least complicated one. Simply put, an MLM binary plan in which your downline is part of is a matrix of two legs/parts. You recruit two people who recruit two people each, who recruit two people each and so on and so on.
How does the MLM binary work exactly? To begin building your business enterprise your first objective is to seek out two individuals who also desire the same goal as you – financial freedom.
After sign them up you position them on what is known as your "frontline". This is your personal line of sponsorship. From this point forward you and everyone else within the company is only allowed to have a maximum of two people on their frontline.
Now, Person A and Person B of your frontline would go out and find two people each to put under them as their frontline. Then these new 4 people would go out and recruit two people each ( total of 8 ) and from here everybody continues to sponsor people into the company, gets rich and lives happily ever after. Ideally that's how it should happen but realistically Person A and Person B may not have the same motivation or people skills you do so, it's back on you to find more people to join. Keep in mind, you've already recruited your maximum of 2 people. This means any new members you get to join must be given over to Person A and B to add as their fontline. And, you guessed it – if those newbies don't recruit anyone either but you do, they get them as their frontline.
Another aspect of the MLM binary is the "powerleg". The powerleg is the very outside downward line of distributors making up the pyramid shape in one's organization. For example, say the left powerleg is the company's biggest MLM binary group, with the remainder on the right side. They are positioned in a layered approach but regardless, you have every position in the outer two sides filled (this is just the nature of the MLM binary pay plan). The outside two legs are filled automatically no matter what and looks like this: two on the first level, the outside two on second level, outside two on third level and indefinatly. Every person in the left outer side of the pyramid benefits from having the other left outside powerleg people above them. Essentially these big companies are helping build your left outside leg (that's shared with them) and place the next person beneath you on the left outside leg. This effect is also known as the "spillover".
Clear as mud, right?! I urge you to find a video on MLM binary to hep clarify things. The short of it, you have helped develop 1 side of the enterprise based on your recruiting efforts. This is a huge advantage of the MLM binary compensation plan. The concept that an organization may allow you to create half of the company. The real MLM binary challenge lies with recruiting good quantity people. If you're not careful and committed to the status of your downline, you could end up with a downline that is uneven, thus causing you to be paid on the revenue generated from the weaker legs. I'm sure your goal is to make money and be successful in your endeavor. In order to accomplish this I advise you to devote time and energy into monitoring how your team is built out.
Be the upline leader others are seeking to assist them in reaching their dreams? Lear how to teach others the skills needed to be prosperous in the MLM binary plans. And, how to teach them to be like you – motivated, professional, enthusiastic, relatable, likeable and help yourself and them achieve ultimate success. If you're not willing to spend the time necessary to be the best you can and pass this down to others then you're efforts will be wasted. Your will be done before every beginning. Learn about lead generation and attraction marketing to help propel your business forward. MLM binary compensation plans can make you money but it depends on YOU how big your paychecks will be.

It's like clockwork. As soon as one holiday passes (or even before it's over), the stores start stocking their shelves with merchandise for the next one, and holiday-themed candy always covers much of that real estate.
I like Marshmallow Peeps as much as the next gal, but when Easter approaches I find myself looking for non-candy Easter basket ideas.
Making something by hand certainly is an option. One of my favorite bloggers, Amanda Soule of Soulemama.com, has a tradition of sewing her four children new pajamas in time for the Easter bunny to deliver them each year. Cute!
Easter basket gifts don't have to be big. Kids will enjoy digging through the fake grass for treasures, even if those presents are just press-on tattoos hidden in a plastic egg or a few coins for their piggy banks.
Here are some Easter basket ideas that go beyond candy. Be sure to add your own suggestions below, so we can help each other create clever Easter baskets for our kids year after year.
- Packets of flower seeds
- Temporary tattoos (compare prices)
- Fake fairy dust to sprinkle in the garden, helping the flowers grow (just mix sand and glitter and put it in a cute baggie)
- Stickers
- Hot cross buns
- Marzipan treats, such as marzipan bunnies, chicks and carrots (OK, that one is technically still candy, but marzipan goodies are an Easter tradition and they might introduce your child to a new flavor--almond!)
- Small musical instruments such as a harmonica or maracas
- Coloring books and crayons
- Handmade bracelets or necklaces
- Baseball cards
- Homemade lip balm or store-bought lip gloss
- Handmade spring-themed garland to hang in the child's room
- Palm crosses and other palm crafts
- Plastic eggs filled with coins for the child's piggy bank
- A stuffed animal
- Tickets to see a play, go to a baseball game, or attend some other event
- An all-day family pass to an indoor pool to brush up everyone's swimming skills before summer
- Finger puppets
- A gift card to iTunes
- Easter books
- Small toys, such as yo-yos or jump ropes
A few readers e-mailed in their suggestions:
- Carley gives "coins and the occasional dollar bill"
- Amy gives bouncy balls
- And Mariah said she and her husband organize an egg scavenger hunt that ends at a basket of craft and art supplies and "a few bits of real yummy dark chocolate" on Easter morning. "You can't cut the sweets out all together!" she said.
Thank you for all the great suggestions. Please continue adding your ideas using the reader-response link below.

WASHINGTON- The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Department of the Treasury recently released the September edition of the Obama administration's Housing Scorecard — a comprehensive report on the nation's housing market.
Data continue to show signs that the housing market is strengthening; home equity has increased by $860 billion since the end of 2011 and August had the highest level of existing home sales in more than two years. Although officials caution that the overall recovery remains fragile.
The full Housing Scorecard is available online at hud.gov/scorecard.
"As the September housing scorecard indicates, our housing market is showing important signs of recovery — with homeowner equity at a four-year high and summer sales of existing homes at the strongest pace in two years," said HUD Acting Assistant Secretary Erika Poethig. "The Administration's efforts to keep housing affordable and refinances strong are critical with so many households still struggling to make ends meet. That is why we continue to ask Congress to approve the president's refinancing proposal so that more homeowners can secure the help they need."
"Tens of thousands of additional families benefit from the Administration's programs every month, which offer some of the deepest assistance available to prevent foreclosures," said Treasury Assistant Secretary for Financial Stability Tim Massad. "As the housing market continues to recover, we remain focused on helping eligible families access this assistance.""
The September Housing Scorecard features key data on the health of the housing market and the impact of the Administration's foreclosure prevention programs, including:

1. What is StudentAdvisor.com and what is its mission?
StudentAdvisor.com empowers college students of all ages to confidently determine which college is the right fit for their personality, academics, budget, career path, and future. We value innovation, excellence, honesty, and equality. We understand that going to college is an important and often difficult process to navigate, and are dedicated to providing genuinely useful and accessible information for students of any age, background, or aspiration.
In creating a community of students, parents, alumni, professors, and employers, we constantly seek to open the lines of communication and provide our users with a resource like no other. We¹re here to help.
2. How can StudentAdvisor.com help students?
Education options are overwhelming, expensive, and evolving. StudentAdvisor.com helps you compare, review, and rate your education options such as colleges or degree programs. The side-by-side comparison simplifies the process while the user insight keeps it honest.
3. What do you believe are the most important benefits of internships?
How many students do you know who went to college with a declared major, but after taking several classes and diving into the actual material, they realized that it wasn¹t for them and they wanted to change their major? Well internships can save a student from making the same mistake when it comes to their careers. Internships give students a realistic preview of what a potential career might be like. Students can take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it to the job, and learn more from their managers and coworkers about the job, the company and the industry itself. Internships also look great on a student¹s resume and internships provide the students with a chance to practice their networking skills and to expand their circle of contacts.
4. What do you believe are the best ways for students to find a good internship?
Students can look for internships in all of the traditional ways; job boards, career services, etc. But in this economy, students need to be more proactive and creative! With that being said, students can reach out to hiring mangers/recruiters directly and basically "sell themselves", explain why they would be a good fit and why they would be an asset to the company. Students can use their networking skills, by asking neighbors, friends, family & classmates if they know of any opportunities. Students can also use social networking sites such as Twitter or LinkedIn to look for internship opportunities.
5. How has the current economy affected internships and ultimately the job search for new graduates?
It actually appears that the economy has increased the number of internships. However, the trend has been towards unpaid internships/ internships for college credit. The ideal situation would obviously be to find a paid internship, but in this economy, it is very important to get your foot in the door at a company. If you can acquire an internship for credit, take advantage of this opportunity, work hard and prove yourself to your managers, coworkers, etc. You never know, that internship could turn into a full-time job.
6. What tips can you offer students on social networking and finding ways to increase their number of networking contacts?
LinkedIn: If students want to use LinkedIn to network with professionals, I highly suggest that they take the time to craft a personalized message to send to the person. Don¹t simply request to add them to your list of contacts and simply hope that they will reach out to you. Take the initiative into your own hands, sell yourself and explain why you chose to message that person directly.
Facebook: If you have a particular company in mind that you are interested in working for, then go ahead and follow that
company on FB. I don¹t necessarily recommend friending the executives on
Facebook, unless you are 100% certain that your Facebook account is being
used for only professional purposes (i.e., no incriminating photos, wall
comments, status updates, etc.). But if you ³like² a company, you can learn
more about its initiatives and comment on wall posts, etc.
7. Do you have any additional tips you'd like to offer to students?
Be positive! I know that finding an internship can be a long, stressful process, but just know that it will truly pay off in the end. Invest the time and effort into finding an internship now, work incredibly hard once you are on the job, and maybe later on you will be offered a full-time job. Then, when all of your classmates are stressed out looking for employment opportunities, you will be able to relax and feel good about the time & effort and hard work you had invested earlier on. Good luck!

RICHLAND -- A huge banner in Richlands John Dam Plaza was emblazoned with numbers to the trillion mark written across the top to remind voters of the national debt, which many at Saturdays Tea Party rally blamed on the Democratic Party.
About 200 people attended the event, which saw another candidate step into the running for the 4th Congressional District seat.
Jamie Wheeler of Kennewick, a member of the Tri-Cities Tea Party and Washington state director for FairTax.org, announced that shes running for Congress against Republican Doc Hastings of Pasco.
Wheeler, 46, said shes running for the seat representing Central Washington because she believes the FairTax proposal a national sales tax that would replace all other forms of federal taxation is the best strategy for making the country prosperous again.
Its a sense of urgency in our financial situation, knowing there is a solution in (Washington) D.C., and yet its not being put in the media for the most part, she told the Herald. It will be a power transfer out of the hands of Congress and into the hands of We the people.
Hastings also spoke at Saturdays event, praising the Tea Party for its grass-roots policy and changing the countrys election process.
A bill creating the FairTax system has been introduced in Congress, but hasnt gained enough support for a vote. Wheeler said shes been unable to convince Hastings to support it.
She said if elected to Congress, she would become the first Northwest lawmaker to sign on in support.
I have done everything I can to get my representative on board for numerous reasons. Part of it is a restoration of the Constitution, she said. The Constitution didnt allow a tax on our income until 1913. Paychecks are our private property. ... Without private property rights, we dont have liberty.
But despite her fervor for the FairTax, Wheeler said she wont be a one-issue candidate.
Wheeler, a self-described domestic engineer her term for a stay-at-home mom, also supports reducing government expenditures and the national debt, and described herself as "pro-gun, pro-family and pro-free speech.
She also works as an in-home care provider, and said she plans to bring her values of compassion and caring for people to the campaign.
She pledged that she wont raise or spend more than $4,995 just below the $5,000 limit that requires reporting to the Federal Election Commission and said once she reaches that threshold shell ask supporters instead to donate to families in need or nonprofits.
I am definitely people-oriented, she said. I hope my campaign matches my actions.
Others who spoke Saturday included Sen. Jerome Delvin, R-Richland; Rep. Larry Haler, R-Richland; and Franklin County farmer/politician Clint Didier.
The crowd cheered when Didier climbed onto his soap box and spoke boldly about the complacency of America society.
This park should be full of people for this rally and it isnt, he said.
President Obama is a communist. There I said it out loud, Didier said.
He warned that if Americans continue to turn a blind eye to complacency about turning the country around to be a free market with less government involvement, then eventually people should arm themselves and be prepared for martial law.
He challenged people to get involved with their community and fight for the rights of all Americans.
Its time to get to work, he said.
Wheeler is running as a Republican. She is the second opponent to announce a run against Hastings. Democrat Mary Baechler, a Yakima businesswoman, community organizer and horse breeder, recently announced her candidacy.
Candidate filing officially opens May 14 for the August primary, which includes all federal, state and local races other than president. Washingtons presidential primary was canceled this year.
The top two vote-getters in the primary, regardless of party affiliation, will advance to the general election ballot in November.

Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson
When it's all said and done, will you have said more than you've done?
Roads were made for journeys...

On your deathbed, you won't wish that you'd spent more time at the office. But you will wish that you'd spent more time running. Because if you had, you wouldn't be on your deathbed.

Level / age: B1 Intermediate / teens
Topic: Endangered species
Lesson aims: To listen for gist and detail and to follow up with project work on the topic of endangered species.
Skills: Listening – for gist and detail
Materials: Video- http://vimeo.com/31836285
Time: 90 minutes
Preparation: Open the quiz in a separate window. Set up the video in class and preload it, print off the worksheet for students, prepare the picture either on the board or print off to give to groups.
Before watching
1) Introduce the topic with a team quiz about endangered animals.
2) To round off the quiz, ask teams if they know the difference between a black rhino and a white rhino. Answer – it's not the colour, they are both grey. The difference is the diet and shape of their lips. Ask them which one is an endangered species? Trick question- the answer is both
3) Show students the image below. Ask them to brainstorm in groups what they think is happening and why?
Image from: http://photoblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/11/04/8639137-rhinos-get-upside-down-helicopter-ride-to-safety
While watching
4) Ask students to check their guesses with the video: http://vimeo.com/31836285
5) Give out copies of the true/false questions worksheet or dictate to students. Play the video again and students answer the questions while watching. Feedback with answers at the end.
Flying Rhinos – worksheet – listening for detail
Post watching
6) In groups, students discuss the issues raised by the video. What are the reasons for animals becoming endangered? What can people do to help the animals?
Follow up suggestions
- Students use the links provided to make a poster to raise awareness of the endangered rhinos.
- Students choose an endangered animal and research information to write a fact file about it.
- Students create a logo / slogan and advert to help save an endangered animal. They could then produce t-shirt designs for their advertising campaign.

Debt Supercommittee Must Be Transparent
Supercommittee on budget must be an open process.
When he was a candidate for president, Barack Obama called repeatedly for greater transparency in government.
As we now know, this was just more hollow campaign rhetoric. His promise to put the healthcare negotiations on C-SPAN never materialized, leading to the point where former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi famously said that Congress would have to pass the healthcare bill before the American people could know what was in it.
Jumping ahead two years we now have the congressional so-called "Supercommittee" that will make recommendations on spending cuts that must be approved by both houses of Congress and signed into law by the president so that phase two of the debt ceiling increase can go into effect. [Check out U.S. News Weekly, now available on iPad.]
If the committee fails to produce a report, or it is defeated in either chamber, it will trigger across the board cuts in federal spending that will impact every aspect of the federal budget.
There are a number of reasons the proposal is inherently dangerous, least of all that, again, the nation faces the prospect of secret, closed door negotiations that will be presented at the last minute in a "take it or leave it" fashion.
This is not a good way to run a railroad. Thus far this approach has led to a record increase in the federal debt, partisan gridlock and a downgrading of U.S. bonds from "Triple A" to "Double A plus" by one of the two major Wall Street ratings agencies. America is losing confidence in its government; pollster Scott Rasmussen says just 17 percent of the nation now believes the federal government has the "consent" of the governed—a new low. [See a collection of political cartoons on the budget and deficit.]
The solution is simple. Every meeting of the so-called "Supercommittee," including those held at the White House, needs to be broadcast on C-SPAN and webcast so that everyone who wants to watch its deliberations can. Further, every proposal needs to be made in writing and posted on the Internet before it can be discussed by the members. Every amendment needs to be put online as it is made and all votes taken by the committee need to be recorded and posted as well.
This may sound extreme but it is actually nothing but an exercise in open government, made available to the nation by the new technologies that have already changed the political and legislative processes. Putting the hearings online would allow every American to see for themselves—without the filters imposed by the spin doctors—what is going on inside the room in real time.
Secret meetings, clandestine proposals, posturing press conferences, and last minute ultimatums should no longer be the order of the day. Instead, America needs to be in on the negotiations that will very likely determine whether the "Triple A" bond rating is restored and whether or not the economy is going to start growing again. Whatever the final deal is, the American people need to feel like they had a role in crafting it—even if just by watching it being put together.

What about the dodgy reverse gear?
Surely this must be the Achilles heel of all Saabs?
I bought a 9000CSE with 55,000 miles; 2000 miles later the car would not go into reverse.
The oil seal on reverse gear blew, burning out reverse.
This happens on many many Saabs according to a gearbox specialist. It's an inherent fault.
I had new clutch put in at the same time, then the clutch slave blew because of the new clutch assembly.
Gearbox had to come out again to sort it, because the slave was inside the box!

Poor weather and a lower-than-expected turnout didn't at all affect the approval of a $64,754,404 TUFSD school budget on Tuesday.
"Turnout was a little lower than expected, but other than that it was a positive day," said Nelly Valentin, Secretary to Superintendent/District Clerk.
Local voters in the villages approved the budget by a vote of 747 to 451.
The budget in a 2.71 percent tax increase. Due to the way the burden is split between the two villages, there would be a 3.65 percent tax increase in Tarrytown and a 1.44 percent increase in Sleepy Hollow.
For the Board of Education race, incumbent trustees Sheila Conklin and Katharine Swibold held the day. Newcomer Ken Torosian congratulated incumbents on their victory at the School District's central offices on Tuesday night, but noted he would continue to make his voice heard.
"We did this campaign in three weeks, and there are a lot of people who believe in the message. I'm going to keep coming here and delivering it," Torosian said.

Fowler's to reinvent Maryville furniture store
Fowler's Furniture is closing its Maryville store but plans to reopen it as a new concept.
"We're going to change the format some. That's a big showroom, almost 100,000 square feet. It's bigger than we really need," said Don Fowler, president of the family-owned business.
The store at Foothills Plaza was hurt when Fowler's opened locations in Athens and Lenoir City.
Fowler declined to give specific details of his plans but said the store would reopen with a smaller showroom. The back part of the building will be used for another type of business.

The tortellini
The tortellino has always been synonymous with Valeggio sul Mincio, and some would have you believe that it originates right here. In any case, it has certainly become increasingly different from the other kinds of filled pasta of the Lombardy and Emilia regions: the pastry is very thin thus rendering the cooking procedure a real art. Usually the filling consists of pork, but you may find some with vegetables and cheeses.
Traditionally, the tortellino should be eaten in broth, but again there are many other appetising choices, in fact, chefs are in continuous search of the most suitable sauce to enhance the characteristics of these so-called "love knots".
Boiled meat with pearà
In the past this was the main course for special occasions, such as Christmas and the New Year's Eve. Then, with the economical boom, it was forgotten. But now it is enjoying a revival and has become one of the most popular dishes in the Veronese gastronomy.
The boiled meat can comprise beef, veal and chicken that can be accompanied with corned tongue and cotechino (pork sausage). The pearà represents the perfect complement: it consists of a sauce made with breadcrumbs, broth, beef marrow and some pepper that gives the characteristic spicy hot flavour.
Alternatively, boiled meat can be accompanied with another sauce, the cren (horseradish sauce, quite difficult to find fresh nowadays). For the preparation of this very hot sauce, grate the horseradish root and add some vinegar to form a cream.
Pastissada de caval
This dish is popular throughout the province of Verona and boasts a very ancient tradition that over the years has almost become a legend.
Apparently, its creation can be attributed to Theodoric, king of the Ostrogoths, who often stayed in Verona although he had chosen Ravenna as the capital of his kingdom. Here Theodoric fought a very bloody battle with Odoacer, king of the Heruli.
After his victory he wanted to celebrate with the whole Veronese population and thus let the people use the flesh of the horses killed on the battlefield. According to tradition, the horses had been there for a few days and the carcasses had began to smell, so the people marinated the meat with onions, other vegetables and a lot of wine. And it worked! Thus the pastissada became one of the main courses of the Veronese gastronomy. Besides the pastissada made with horsemeat, the one with donkey meat can also be found.
The polenta
This has been the most common dish throughout the province of Verona ever since the 16th century. Traditionally, it can accompany all dishes, from starters to main courses.
Despite its content of fibre, protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals, it has a low nutritional value.
Served while still warm and creamy, it is the perfect accompaniment to meat stews and dishes with a lot of sauce. When cooled, it can be sliced, then grilled and eaten with sausages and cheeses.
The fogassin or fugassin
Popular saying states: "no part of the pork is thrown away". In fact, in the Veronese countryside they even recycle the water used for boiling the cotechino in the preparation of the fogassin or fugassin dessert.
The water is left to cool and then the solidified fat removed. This is mixed with sugar, eggs, flour and other ingredients that vary depending on the area (grappa, raisins or lemon rind).
The resulting thick paste is then given a round shape and put on a rack over glowing embers covered with ashes to slow down the cooking. In fact, it must be cooked very slowly for at least an hour, occasionally turning so as to bake evenly.
It is eaten cool and accompanied by a good wine.
The "Sanvigilìni"
If you are by Lake Garda, after eating you may be offered some small sweets called "Sanvigilini" made of "pasta frolla" flaky pastry with raisins. This dessert has recently been introduced in the Garda cuisine. It seems that they were first produced in Punta San Vigilio (between Garda and Torri del Benaco) by Leonard Walsh, an eccentric British who used to run an inn by the marina. Apparently, he decided to make the "Sanvigilini" when Winston Churchill stayed at San Vigilio after the Second World War, as an accompaniment to the ex British Prime Minister's tea.
The sugoli
The harvest has always been associated with great festivity: after months of taking care of the vines and days spent gathering the ripened grapes, all the participants used to take part in the collective feast sharing a large lunch.
The children, however, couldn't wait for the winemaking process so that they could enjoy the sugoli.
It is a dessert prepared with the must (of red grapes), flour and sugar, cooked slowly and then left to cool.
The sugoli can be served cool, like a pudding, or preserved in a jar like jam.
The sopressa
The sopressa is the typical salami of Verona and its tradition dates back to the Della Scala Family, namely from the 13th century. It results from the coarse grinding of the raw meat that is then mixed with spices and a lot of garlic. It is then made into salami that are hung for maturing.
The pig has always been the most widespread animal in the Veronese countryside and its finest parts (such as the loin and chine) are used to prepare roasts or grilled steaks. The fillet and ribs are also sought after and are frequently cooked on the embers. The lard – that is the fat under skin – after the salting phase, is thinly sliced and placed on warm polenta to melt.
The sopressa is the leader of the range of sausages, which includes the cotechino, hams and salami.

I grew up in New England in a very small town in Maine. I have to say it was the absolute best place to grow up and led to many childhood memories. One of my fondest memories was when my grandmother used to send me to the store for groceries and to the pharmacy to pick up medicine for her. The two places were right next door to each other and only about a 15 minute bike ride from her house.
She would send me with $20.00, a shopping list and my empty backpack. She always made sure I had money left over to get penny candy from pharmacy. I always looked forward to getting the jaw breakers because they always lasted the longest. The yellow and orange were always my favorite colors and were the first ones I ate.It has been a few year now since I lived up there and my grandmother has been gone for a number of years as well however my mother and sister have moved back to the area and my niece and nephew are now growing up in my home town. I don't get to visit much now that I live in Florida but I managed to go home for a few days to introduce my fiancé to my family.
While I was there I made sure to make the time to take my niece to the pharmacy (which is still there) and let her pick out some penny candy even though it is now more like nickel candy. She asked me what I wanted and I pointed to the jawbreakers at the end of the row. She looked at me with her big brown eyes and smiled as she said " Those are my favorite too Auntie Kate". I love that I can share times like that with her and that she will grow up with the same memories I did. ~ Katie from Florida

President Obama met and dined with 47 high-profile campaign contributors at the Bingham Farms home of Denise Ilitch on Wednesday night, WWJ is reporting.
Among the more recognizable names were former Gov. Jim Blanchard, attorney and former gubernatorial candidate Geoffrey Fieger, former NBA and University of Michigan basketball star Jalen Rose and former Detroit Tigers great Willie Horton, according to the station's website.
"I don't know if I was more excited about being with Barack Obama or sitting next to Willie Horton," Fieger joked while speaking live on WWJ Newsradio 950.
The well-known attorney said the president chatted with everyone informally.
"It was very interesting and compelling for probably about 15 or 20 minutes. He's just a really good speaker. I mean, imagine just having a small dinner party and one of the guests stands up and speaks to you, but he happens to be the leader of the free world, and then he took questions," he said.
Ilitch, a Birmingham businesswoman and chairwoman of the University of Michigan Board of Regents, reportedly thanked the president for never forgetting or forsaking Michigan. She told viewers of the Michigan Matters show that she would serve items at the party that showcased the state.
According to a pooled media report, the room the guests were in included a grand piano, a sweeping staircase leading to an overlook and tables filled with gold-rimmed dishes, Waterford crystal and centerpieces of purple hydrangeas and peonies.
Dinner included lamb, risotto, asparagus and sweet potatoes.
Obama was in town to in Michigan. The Ilitch event reportedly cost between $10,000 and $40,000 to attend. Obama also appeared at a in Dearborn late Wednesday afternoon.
along Telegraph Road near 13 mile between 6:45-9:15 p.m.
Obama arrived just after 7 p.m., The Detroit News reported, his motorcade of dozens of SUVs, police cars and officers on motorcycles slipping past curious neighbors in the wooded neighborhood and protesters on nearby 13 Mile Road opposed to military action in Iran.
Local Republicans may not have been on the guest list, but didn't let the president's visit nearby go unnoticed. Several of the GOP gathered at a pizza party at Oakland County Republican Party headquarters in Bloomfield Hills to lament the president's pricey campaign stop and plans to improve the economy through the proposed tax reform known as the "Buffet Rule."
"President Obama's visit reeks of hypocrisy and demonstrates his thirst for wealth, as he dines at a fundraiser costing $40,000 a plate, after a weeklong assault on wealthy Americans," Michigan Republican Party spokesman Matt Frendewey said in a written statement.
"This week, Obama said the 1% needs to pay their fair share, apparently this includes a $40,000 check to his campaign. In response to Obama's hypocrisy, Republicans are hosting a middleclass 'People's Pizza Party' on paper plates with plastic cups."
