Mixed bag for Victoria's Secret owner: store sales up as income plummets Thursday, 16th August 2012
Photo credit: Limited Brands Inc.
Limited Brands Inc., owner of the Victoria's Secret, La Senza and Henri Bendel brands, said second quarter income fell 37.9 per cent in the three months to July. Despite the drop, the group raised its full-year guidance in line with a rise in comparable store sales.
According to WWD, Limited Brands' second quarter income fell by 37.9 per cent to USD 143.6 million, compared with an income of USD 231.2 million for the same time last year.
Excluding pretax charges relating to La Senza store closures, a non-taxable gain last year and a pretax expense relating to a charitable donation, the group's adjusted income dropped 2.3 per cent to USD 147.2 million, compared with USD 150.7 million a year before.
Sales during the three months to 28 July fell 2.4 per cent to USD 2.40 billion from USD 2.46 billion, although the group noted that sales results from comparable quarter a year before included USD 216.6 million attributable to a third-party apparel sourcing business which was sold in November. Despite the decline, comparable store sales for the most recent quarter rose 8 per cent.
Limited Brands, which is preparing to launch its flagship Victoria's Secret store on London's New Bond Street, raised its full-year guidance, with projected EPS between USD 2.73 and USD 2.88, compared with previous guidance of USD 2.63 to USD 2.83.

text: KUWAIT CITY, June 19: The Ministry of Electricity and Water has no intention to increase the power and water fees, reports Al-Rai daily quoting Minister Salem Al-Uthayna. Asserting the ministry does not decide on raising energy fees on its own, Al-Uthayna explained the issue requires a comprehensive study and a series of discussions among the concerned authorities. On the alleged reshuffling of assistant undersecretaries, Al-Uthayna stressed the ministry has no plan to streamline its organizational structure until the end of this year. He disclosed many projects are currently in the pipeline, while the implementation of others has started in line with the ministry's plan to increase power production. He said several new stations will be established soon, including the North Al-Zour Power Plant. Asked about the suspension of some assistant undersecretaries involved in the anomalous 2007 power emergency project, Al-Uthayna revealed the Public Prosecution will summon the suspects for investigation in the coming days.

How to push down outdated images in Google image search
When you do a Google image search for one of my client's products, you see a lot of first-generation hardware (the product is now in its third generation). The client wants to know what they can do to push those images down so that current product images rise to the top. FYI: the client's own image files on their site aren't very well optimized with keywords.
My thinking is to have the client optimize their own images and the ones they give to the media with relevant keywords in file names, alt text, etc. Eventually, this should help push down the outdated images is my thinking. Any other suggestions? Thanks so much.

Review: Ill Manors (18) (From Kingston Guardian)

Review: Ill Manors (18)
4:22pm Tuesday 12th June 2012 in Freetime
It's a hard knock life for six godforsaken denizens of London in the gritty directorial debut of Ben Drew aka Plan B.
Purportedly based on real people and real events, Ill Manors pulls no punches in its depiction of the lengths some people will go to in order to survive on the streets of the capital.
It's a visually arresting descent into the darkest recesses of human suffering, cutting together different film stocks to create a nightmarish vision of a city under constant surveillance from CCTV cameras, mobile phones and nosey neighbours.
Drew introduces his central protagonists in the best way he knows how: with a crude rap and some similarly gritty imagery.
It's a cute injection of pace that keeps the first hour zipping along at a fair lick before the sinewy plot strands become entangled and the screen glisters with anguish and despair.
Drug dealer Ed (Ed Skrein) is caught in a police sting and he quickly offloads incriminating evidence to associate Aaron (Riz Ahmed).
Flashbacks to their formative years at St Erica's children's home for boys affirm their fraternal bond.
While Aaron waits for Ed's release from custody, he crosses paths with illegal immigrant Katya (Natalie Press), who has been sold into sex trafficking and must make a stark decision about the future of her newborn child.
Torn between his head and his heart, Aaron faces an agonising choice of his own that has dramatic repercussions.

By Tim Leeds/Havre Daily email@example.com
After nearly two years of often heated discussion, the voters of the Blue Sky and Kremlin-Gildford school districts on Tuesday approved consolidation.
The vote in the Blue Sky K-12 district was overwhelmingly in favor of joining the two Hi-Line districts - 216-10, according to unofficial results. The turnout was 55 percent voter turnout. The KG vote was less decisive. Two votes were held, one in the high school district and one in the separate elementary district.
The vote in the high school district was 123-100, and the count in the elementary school district was 112-95. KG had 66 percent voter turnout.
Gildford parent Lori Federspiel said today she was relieved the measure passed.
"Everything I can see, going together with them is going to be a positive," she said.
Mary Lou Miller, also of Gildford, said she would have preferred that the districts remain separate.
"It went through. I guess that has to be," she said.
Joe Lamson, spokesman for the state Office of Public Instruction, said OPI is pleased the consolidation was approved. The Blue Sky-KG effort was being watched very closely, he said.
Because declining school enrollments and a tight state budget are making it harder for districts, especially in rural areas, to function, OPI supports finding ways to work more efficiently, he said.
"We're very pleased the districts were able to work it out," Lamson said. "Every time we're able to create efficiencies through consolidation and it works on the local level, we're all for it."
KG Superintendent John Ballard said the next steps are up to Hill County Superintendent of Schools Shirley Isbell and the interim board she will appoint.
"I had no idea which way it was going to go myself," he said. "I assumed it was going to be close and it was."
Blue Sky Superintendent Terry Grant said he is pleased with the vote. Grant and his school board publicly supported consolidation. Ballard and the KG school board took no public position.
"I think that in the name of education we really needed to get this done," Grant said. "Now the work's going to start.
Once Isbell receives the official vote count, she will appoint an interim school board to oversee the consolidation. The interim board, which will exist only until permanent board members are selected at the next school election, will deal with a number of major issues, including the ocation of the high school, how many teachers will be hired and who will be hired, and what classes will be offered.
Grant said he thinks the name, mascot and colors for the new school district should be up to the students.
"They need to tell the adults," he said.
Federspiel, who plans to send her 2-year-old son, Ethan, to the consolidated school, said she thinks the single districts would not have been able to last.
"Our school, KG, I don't see them being able to keep going on their own. So why not work together with our neighbors to keep a school on the Hi-Line and some of our identity," she said.

Trip to France is being planned to maintain Ilkley twinning relationship (From Ilkley Gazette)

Trip to France is being planned to maintain Ilkley twinning relationship
11:41am Friday 18th January 2013 in News
A delegation will visit Ilkley's twin town of Coutances in Normandy this summer as renewed efforts to strengthen ties between the two communities goes on.
The visit to the French town is planned for June 20 to June 24, following a successful trip of Coutances residents to Ilkley last year.
It is hoped the visit will keep up civic ties between the two towns as well as pave the way for greater links between schools, societies and other organisations on both sides of the Channel.
Chairman of the Ilkley Coutances Twinning Committee Judith Dunn approached Ilkley Parish Council last week to report back on recent success, and let councillors known the committee was planning to ask the council for funding.
She looked back on the 2012 visit of French visitors to Ilkley.
"It was an extremely successful visit, we managed to create a lot of new links between Coutances and Ilkley," said Mrs Dunn.
"The Twinning Committee have planned to visit coutances this year to capitalise on all these links."
She said she would probably be approaching Ilkley Parish Council shortly to request funding for twinning activities, and hoped councillors would look favourably on the enterprise.
"It has been extremely fruitful on all levels of Ilkley society," said Mrs Dunn.
She thanked Bradford and Ilkley parish councillor Mike Gibbons for organising a jazz concert during last year's twinning visit.
Ilkley Parish Council chairman Councillor Heathcliffe Bowen praised the recent successes of the twinning activities.
He said: "The twinning is very much going from strength to strength, some quite important links are being made through the businesses, cycling club and schools. These are new links that are being made. It's very much a burgeoning enterprise at the moment."
He also spoke about the formal civic ties between the two towns – something the parish council debated giving up several years ago – and which he said many other towns no longer maintained.
"Ilkley has retained that civic element, it's something important for the town," said Coun Bowen.

Wednesday, January 26th, 2011
"It is time,", we said, "we need to join more forces". It was getting harder to fight isolation as the real estate market continued to drag on, and let's face it, our phones were not exactly ringing off the hook. Many people were sitting on the fence, not really knowing what way to go: When to buy, when to sell, is the bottom here yet, and what lies ahead? We did not want our perspective to become too narrow as we responded to these questions.
For two years we had been working, side by side in our home office with all the wonders of this technical age, wireless and paperless (not quite paperless yet, but headed in the right direction). Thanks to the Internet, we have almost seen our fax machine idled into retirement, and saved more gallons of gasoline by reducing the need to hand deliver hard copies of documents from one side of the city and county to the other. Pleasant as it was in many ways, we really began to long for a little more camaraderie. We wanted to share more frequently in the creative ideas to overcome some of the obstacles facing not only our markets, but those of our clients.
But the choices at first seemed difficult. A large corporate office did not suit us. Nor, did we want to spend time and energy driving across town. We wanted the synergy of co-workers and a vision of a better way to work. We had been watching a smaller company growing in market share, and yet with a relatively small footprint, we continued to see evidence of a firm that was creating a giant marketing profile. We kept seeing this wonderful old building downtown Ventura that was to be the future office of General Pacific Properties.
And then, it was just the right time for us to make the move to General Pacific Properties. We are now a part of the process that waits anxiously for the opening of our beautiful downtown office. Our contact information is all the same, the logo has changed, and we are very happy to be associated with General Pacific, its dynamic broker, Larry Krogh, the wonderful support staff, and some of the greatest real estate sales associates we have worked with. We are looking forward to the opening of the office in beautiful, downtown Ventura in the near future and are located at the present office location in Midtown Ventura at 1629 Main Street.

An Ames man charged with sexually assaulting a 17-year-old girl has pleaded not guilty to the charge this week.
Mason Reilly, 20, of 50610 170th St., has entered a plea of not guilty to a charge of second-degree sex assault, a class B felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison.
Reilly entered the plea Wednesday through private attorney Sean Spellman of Des Moines.
Reilly was one of three charged with sexually assaulting the girl. The other two, James William Carsel, 16, of Boone, and David Duane Price, 16, of Ames, are being held at the Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center in Eldora.
According to law enforcement, the girl said she was in the backyard of her rural Hamilton County home hanging laundry when she was approached from behind by the three males.
She told authorities they abducted her and took her to Peterson Park in Story County, where she was sexually assaulted by all three of them before being released.
Authorities were notified when the girl came out of the woods and asked a woman who was at the park for help, saying she'd been raped. The woman called 911.
Initially, public defenders were assigned to each of the three defendants, but two have since retained private counsel. Price is the only one of the three who has not hired his own attorney, but following an application by Public Defender Paul Rounds, a special defense unit was appointed to stand in Price's defense.
Carsel has hired Urbandale attorney Peter Berger, who has filed an application to have Carsel's case transferred to juvenile court. Berger cited material factual disputes in the case as part of his reasoning for the case to be transferred.
No ruling has yet been entered.
Story County Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald said investigators believe the girl was an acquaintance of Reilly's prior to the alleged assault. The three were arrested after being located at a residence on George Washington Carver Avenue.

UNICEF's global commitment to transparency is reflected in the publication of its Information Disclosure Policy in 2010. Because of the sensitivity of procurement issues, Supply Division has always published information on major international procurement solicitation notices, and international contracts awarded, as well as annual procurement data by supplier, country, amount, and type of service or commodity.
In 2011, we also began publishing historical price data for key products and are beginning to require manufacturers to agree to the publication of the prices they charge us.
As the world's largest buyer of children's vaccines, the decision to publish historical Vaccine Price Data supports UNICEF's commitment to ensure that vaccine supply is sustainable and affordable.
Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) - UNICEF has worked long and hard to diversify its supplier base for this important product - see Supply Annual Report 2011 for details. Click here to view historical RUTF Price Data.
Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) - Since the invention of this type of mosquito net, UNICEF has worked to diversify the supplier base, in terms of both numbers and geographical location, to enable industry to grow to a scale sufficient for every child in malaria-endemic countries to sleep under such a net. Here you can view historical LLIN Price Data.
UNICEF fully endorses the WHO/UNFPA developed policy to use only Auto-Disable Syringes in immunization services to prevent the transfer of blood-borne diseases. UNICEF further ensures that for all injectable vaccine doses delivered, sufficient numbers of AD syringes, reconstitution syringes and safety boxes are bundled in the order. In line with the commitment to transparency, you can here view current AD Syringe and Safety Box Price Data.
The Supply Annual Report discusses many aspects of UNICEF's interaction with the market, and includes detailed annexes on: supplier countries by dollar value, how much we spent with individual companies, where the supplies are used, by country and value, and numbers invited to bid (and responses) by country. Previous Supply Annual Reports are also available here.
The UNICEF Supply Catalogue includes a wealth of technical knowledge on essential commodities for children, including indicative prices charged for all items.
You can also see what UNICEF procured offshore and from whom since January 2001. The Contract awards listed here only include contracts at or above a value of $100,000.
UNICEF does not make any profit, but is required to recover its costs from providing our Procurement Services (for instance to governments) by charging a handling fee. Click here to view our Handling Fees.

EAC maintains the National Mail Voter Registration Form, which voters can use to register to vote and update their registration information. The form is available in seven languages.
EAC also provides voter guides in 11 languages and a variety of links to helpful resources for voters relating to registration, military and overseas voting, accessibility, and volunteering as a poll worker.
HAVA mandates that EAC accredit voting system test laboratories and certify voting equipment, marking the first time the federal government has offered these services to the states.
EAC is committed to running the program in a transparent manner, releasing voting system test plans and reports for the public to review and posting detailed information about the voluntary voting system guidelines, program policies, and related correspondence.
One of EAC's top priorities is providing assistance to election officials. We do this by issuing guidance, advisories and best practices to help officials comply with the Help America Vote Act and make other election administration improvements and enhancements.
EAC administers federal funding to improve the administration of U.S. elections as authorized by the Help America Vote Act. The commission also manages discretionary, competitive grant programs authorized by HAVA, including the HAVA College Program to recruit college students to serve as poll workers and the HAVA Mock Election Program, which supports activities to educate secondary students in the electoral process.
EAC is responsible under the Help America Vote Act for collecting information about election administration issues and sharing that information with Congress, election officials and the public.
This section contains completed research and reports commissioned by EAC, information about EAC research in progress, and additional elections research issued by other organizations. Datasets are also available to download.
Voters can use the National Mail Voter Registration Form to register to vote, update registration information due to a change of name, make a change of address, or register with a political party.
The National Form also contains voter registration rules and regulations for each state and territory. For more information about registering to vote, contact your state election office. Read our Frequently Asked Questions for more information about the national form.
EAC Research Update
The EAC, as mandated in the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), is responsible for collecting information about election administration issues and providing that information to congress, election officials and the public. In an effort to meet this requirement, the EAC is preparing to issue a new survey to election officials.
This survey, Election Administration in Urban and Rural Areas, is currently out for the first of two public comment periods to meet Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) requirements. The EAC anticipates that OMB approval will be granted in early summer and expects to send the survey to local election officials nationwide during the summer of 2012.
The data received from this survey will be analyzed to assess the differences in voter outreach activities and election personnel needs in urban and rural areas. The EAC hopes to supplement the survey data with interviews with local election officials. The EAC will gather all of this information and prepare a report for release as soon as it is approved by EAC Commissioners.
If you have additional questions, please contact Jessica Myers at firstname.lastname@example.com or via Twitter (@EACgov).

Hometown: Pittsburgh, Pa
That Moniker"The funny thing is that my first name is Portuguese and my last is Polish, but I'm neither! My mother is 100 percent Irish; she was adopted in the U.S. by my grandparents, first-generation Hungarian and Polish immigrants. That's where I get my last name."
Leadership and ServiceServing in the SGA has allowed her to work with peers, as well as with members of the faculty and administration. "Those experiences have helped me view Davidson more from a long-term institutional point of view. I am just as invested in Davidson's future as Davidson is invested in mine. When you come to a place like Davidson that gives so much to you, you have to find your way to give back, and for me, student government is a great way to do that."
Alpha Kappa AlphaShe is a charter member of Davidson's historically black sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha. "Coming from an all-girls school, sisterhood was something that I valued greatly, but I never imagined that I would find it in the way that I did through AKA."
A Day at the Lake"A perfect day for me is spent at the Lake Campus! Whether I'm with a group of students canoeing and doing flips on the dock, or doing some reading alone, the Lake Campus is a great place to unwind."
Productive SummersThe summer after sophomore year, Zwieryznski participated in the Davidson in Washington program and interned at a law firm. An Atlanta management-consulting firm where she worked the summer before senior year has already offered her a job after graduation.
Life Lessons"Davidson has taught me to ask questions, to be aware of myself and my surroundings, and to ask how I can bring about change; that has shaped me here and will continue to shape me for the rest of my life. The love that people have for Davidson is so obvious and so clear, it just draws you in. It's more than a campus; it's a place you really can call home for four years."

Fierce Heart and Eddie Would Go by Coleman.
Fierce Heart and Eddie Would Go by Coleman.
Wow! Thanks for all the suggestions! This list should keep me busy for a while
For surf fiction I have a favorite. Tapping the Source by Kem Nunn. Its an incredible story of an inland kid learning to surf while searching for his missing sister at Huntington Beach, complete,with dangerous surf punks, bikers, sex and drugs . He also wrote Dogs of winter and Tijuana Straights. I cannot recommend these books enough.
I recommend "Surf Is Where You Find It" by Gerry Lopez
Morning Glass by Mike Doyle is a good one
High Surf by Tim Baker (or any of his numerous other books)
And I'll second the recommendations of The Wave by Susan Casey and Saltwater Buddha by Jaimal Yogis (sp?)
I haven't read captain zero but heard that its a really good one so its on the list

brand inspiration
Posted by Mark J. Miller on July 4, 2012 03:03 PM
For the last three years, Levi's has been urging Americans, and then last year the world in its first ever global campaign, to "Go Forth" and make a difference. Be a Pioneer! Work Hard! Be Brave!
Since then, the leaders and governments of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and Yemen have all been overthrown and plenty of other countries throughout the globe have experienced change. Levi's probably isn't responsible for this, but it did hold back its 2011 commercial in the UK for a bit because it would have originally launched right in the middle of riots in England and that wouldn't have been the most brilliant PR move.
Maybe because it's an election year. Maybe it doesn't want to rabble rouse during the Olympics. Maybe the company is afraid of its own power. Or maybe (more likely) the campaign has run its course and the company just wanted to put its dollars elsewhere. Whatever its reasons, Levi's has decided to not run its "Go Forth" campaign this year for the first time since it launched in 2009 on Independence Day.
The W+K-created campaign started only in the U.S. with the Walt Whitman poem "Pioneers! Oh Pioneers!" fittingly at its centerpiece. It celebrated the American spirit to make things happen and change (all while wearing Levi's, of course). After all, other brand would you wear to a demonstration?
Now, there will be no fourth Go Forth for the Levi's brand. The whole campaign wrapped up with a benefit concert for Braddock last November.
Below, a look back at three years of Levi's Go Forth, starting with the 2009 Whitman tone-poem —
2010 saw the campaign shift to celebrating work, in keeping with Levi's brand DNA and roots as denim workwear. Go Forth in its second year focused on the down-on-its-luck community of Braddock, PA (with a John Hillcoat-directed spot) in addition to creating an experiential event-marketing tour around the theme of "We Are All Workers," with a series of pop-up workshops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and Berlin exploring contemporary creativity and artisanal craftsmanship (photography, printmaking, filmmaking) —
2011 saw the Go Forth campaign go global, with in-language versions of this spot:

I really liked this campaign as it spoke to the essence of the Levi's brand, although I'm sure it wasn't cheap & who knows how many pairs of Levi's it all sold. Also caught the NYC pop-up in Soho (the photography workshop) which was fun, with a photo booth and lots of activities.

Janet Barresi offers help for schools affected by tornados
We've heard that tornadoes have damaged several schools during this three-day sweep of storms, and the state Education Department sent out this notice this afternoon:
The Oklahoma State Department of Education is expressing great concern for all Oklahomans affected by the tornados today and yesterday. "This has just been devastating and a horrible reminder of the May 3rd tornados. My staff and I stand ready to offer full support to any school districts that have experienced injuries or damages from these terrible tornados," State Superintendent Janet Barresi says.
"Right now we are waiting for word of exactly what has happened at Briarwood Elementary School in Moore as well as pulling together information about school districts that may have suffered damage yesterday in Carney, Bethel, Dale, Little Axe, Shawnee and other areas. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has been affected by these deadly tornados," adds Superintendent Barresi.
The Oklahoma State Department of Education stands ready to assist affected school districts. Those in need of assistance in the aftermath of the tornados may call (405) 521-3301.
Tulsa outlines summer feeding program
Here's a news release from Tulsa Public Schools about where to go for free meals during the summer:
TULSA, Okla. – During the school year, 85 percent of students in Tulsa Public Schools are reliant upon free and reduced price meals. Ever wonder what those same kids do for meals during the summer? Sadly many often go hungry.
To help make sure no child goes hungry over the summer, TPS Child Nutrition Services is a sponsor for the Summer Food Service Program.
The Summer Food Service Program for children is a federally-funded program operated nationally by the United States Department of Agriculture. Free meals will be served to all children 18 years of age or younger at any approved meal site.
TPS will operate the Summer Café program at 65 sites this year from June 3-July 26. Lunch only or lunch and breakfast options will be served at various times at the different sites.
In 2012, the Summer Café program served 81,690 breakfasts and 121,201 lunches in the Tulsa community.

The future of Classen School of Advanced Studies
The Oklahoma City School Board voted to deny out-of-district transfers to Classen School of Advanced Studies for the 2013-14 school year. (Kiddos who already go there will be allowed to keep attending.) But the decision has been controversial and has lots of parents asking questions about the future of the school. On Friday morning, PTSA President Dixie Hendrix sent out this statement in the school's weekly newsletter:
There have been numerous rumors of late, and I would like to address the most recent one regarding the future of Classen: No Classen PTSA officers have talked about or have ANY intention of applying for Classen SAS to become an enterprise or charter school. NO PLANS WHAT SO EVER!!! I have heard nothing from anyone who has any plans to do this. And I will not support any attempt to do so.
Oklahoma Speaker T.W. Shannon coming out against Common Core
A tweet from the Oklahoma Speaker of the House is all the buzz in state education circles. Here's what T.W. Shannon said Wednesday:
Common Core is a set of national education standards that many states have adopted, including Oklahoma. It was adopted here as part of the Race to the Top grant competition in 2010 but hasn't been implemented by all Oklahoma school districts yet.
I asked for a response to Speaker Shannon from state schools Superintendent Janet Barresi, and her spokeswoman sent this:
Superintendent Barresi looks forward to continuing discussions with Speaker Shannon about the work of the Department of Education to ensure more rigorous Oklahoma academic standards for the success of Oklahoma's children.
Speaker Shannon tweeted about Common Core again today, and he linked to this story.
Roosevelt Elementary teacher named Norman Teacher of the Year
Norman Public Schools has announced the Teacher of the Year. Here's the info:
Norman Public Schools named Roosevelt third grade teacher Brooke Brown as its 2013-2014 Teacher of the Year amid ceremonies last night at its annual Celebration of Excellence banquet.
The event was held at the National Center for Employee Development (Postal Training Center) in Norman and Brown was one of five finalists for the district's top teaching honor. The other finalists were Calypso Gilstrap, a library media specialist at Norman High; Suzanne Price, a counselor at Truman Primary; Donna Quee, an anatomy/physiology teacher from Norman North; and Amy Young, a Cleveland Elementary fifth grade teacher.
Brown has been employed with NPS since 2008. She previously worked for Yukon Public Schools and has taught 1st, 2nd and third grades in her nine total years of teaching. She is a National Board certified teacher and earned both her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Central Oklahoma.
In the portfolio she submitted for the Teacher of the Year competition, Brown wrote: "Because my level of enthusiasm usually determines the success of a lesson, I make a conscious effort to model a love of learning for my students. A majority of third grade content is brand new, therefore, I facilitate numerous breakthrough moments. It is so rewarding to watch eyes light up as they discover an interesting science concept, write their name in cursive for the first time, or gain fact power with multiplication facts. … Although I've taught in two schools with widely varying needs, my philosophy has remianed the same with regard to 'how I want to be remembered' by my students. It is my hope that by teaching the essentials of love, life and learning, I am shaping the next generation of young leaders and learners."
Brown and the other four finalists were chosen from a pool of NPS school site Teachers of the Year, and Brown emerged after a competitive process involving a written portfolio, video and individual interviews with the district's Staff Development Committee. She will now be NPS' representative in the state Teacher of the Year program, which is an affiliate of the national Teacher of the Year program.
Both Superintendent Dr. Joe Siano and NPS Director of Professional Development and Student Assessment Beth Spears said the district's Staff Development Committee had a tough task selecting one Teacher of the Year from the five finalists.
"Brooke will be an excellent representative of the Norman Public Schools and we congratulate her on this much-deserved honor," Siano said. "I know that she agrees that her four colleagues who were also finalists are also exemplary teachers and we are so fortunate to have them all on our team. As I do every year, I also feel fortunate that I have no part in the selection of finalists or the Teacher of the Year. Selecting just one among a pool of so many great teachers is not an enviable task."

Bomb/gunman threat at Tulsa Union a hoax
Here's information from the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office:
On Thursday, March 28, 2013, at approximately 1:30pm (1330 hours) Tulsa County Sheriff's Deputies/Dispatch received a call from an AT&T operator indicating that she had received an internet call placed from a person claiming to be a Union Student. The caller gave information suggesting that there were two individuals in the building, one with a gun and one with a bomb. The caller indicated that they had heard shots and heard a large amount of screaming coming from an area within the school.
Tulsa County Sheriff's Deputies assigned as School Resource Officers responded to the area of the suggested incident within two minutes of receiving the information. Additional Tulsa County Sheriff's Deputies responded along with numerous Tulsa Police Officers and conducted a complete and thorough search of the Union High School campus determining that the information they had received was false and that there was no threat to Union Students. This search was concluded at 2:14pm (1414 hours).
School Superintendent Dr. Burden and other Union School Officials are on site and will administratively be releasing students in conjunction with their regular school day. Union school officials will be putting out a press release informing parents of the administrative processes that took place.
Representative, education group plan rally against Common Core
Here's information out of the House of Representatives about a rally Wednesday:
Common Core will make sweeping changes to the education system in Oklahoma and the nation, but the cost-benefit analysis of these changes has yet to be scrutinized, according to one state lawmaker.
A rally will be held at noon, Wednesday, March 27, 2013, in the Oklahoma State Capitol building, Second Floor, west hallway of the Supreme Court offices. This rally will be sponsored by state Rep. Gus Blackwell (R-Laverne) and Restore Oklahoma Public Education (R.O.P.E.). Blackwell, Glenda Murphey, the Reverend Paul Blair, Traci Montgomery and Jenni White will be speaking about problems with the Common Core agenda.
Common Core was written into state law in 2010. It was one of four education 'reform' measures necessary to make the state competitive for a federal Race to the Top, Common Core became law before the standards were available for review or any research had been accumulated on their efficacy or cost. Oklahoma never received that grant. Now that the Common Core and its testing arm, PARCC, are being instituted across the state, districts must have hundreds of thousands of dollars in eRate grants and writing school bond initiatives to fund these mandates. Oklahoma taxpayers are being asked to fund these reforms through property tax, cell phone plans and an increase in the state education budget. The total cost of which is still unknown.
The Common Core changes will also necessitate changes to the increased collection of personal student data, student testing, teacher evaluation, and school performance. At a conference attended by Blackwell and sponsored by Common Core advocates, in the summer of 2012, Common Core was likened to the hull of a ship sailing out of a harbor, while still under construction.
"The fact of the matter is: Few people know the extent of the changes, driven by the private groups advocating this change, which will result in large profits for a few private companies." Blackwell said.
This year, Blackwell authored House Bill 1907 to create a task force to study the cost of Common Core. Though the bill passed its committee hearing unanimously, Blackwell learned it would not be heard in the state Senate. Blackwell was able to reach an agreement with House leadership authorizing a long-overdue extended legislative study on the costs of Common Core in Oklahoma schools.
"I do not think Oklahomans want to relinquish the local control of their schools or the state-guidance of standards to the nationalization of education, by a handful of elitists in Washington, D.C.," Blackwell said. "The Common Core State Standards must be brought to bear under public scrutiny before we move further into its implementation. Taxpayers should not bear the brunt of a program for which we know little about, even three years after its inception."
Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb talks about school security
Lt. Gov. Todd Lamb put out his monthly column recently. Here it is:
As parents we want our children to be healthy and to do well academically, but our first priority is for our children to be safe and secure during their school day. Following the tragic event in Newtown, Connecticut last December, Senate President Pro Tempore Brian Bingman and House Speaker T.W. Shannon asked me to chair the Oklahoma Commission on School Security (OCSS). The OCSS was a statewide, nonpartisan commission comprised of 22 professionals from various fields including local school personnel, law enforcement, emergency response, mental health and parents.
I previously served as a special agent with the United States Secret Service. As state senator, I was the principal author of the Oklahoma School Security Act. School security has been a focus of mine for many years.
The OCSS members sacrificed their time and provided their expertise to conduct a several week comprehensive analysis of this very important issue. Commission meetings included speaker testimony and discussion on the various factors related to school security including but not limited to public safety, access control, physical assessments, training, mental health and local control.
The OCSS was given a March deadline in order for recommendations to be placed in bills this legislative session. After hearing expert testimony and completing their study, the OCSS released five policy recommendations in the 2013 Report of the Oklahoma Commission on School Security:
1) Formation of the Oklahoma School Security Institute (OSSI)
2) Establish a Mental Health First Aid Training Pilot Program
3) Amend and change state law to consolidate and require safety drills
4) Require the reporting of illegal firearms found on school property to local law enforcement
5) Establish a school security tip line
At the time of printing deadline, I am happy to report that the recommendations have received unanimous support in the State Senate and will now move to the State House for consideration.
No policy can prevent evil from occurring, but the OCSS's hope is that these recommendations will mitigate and lessen the potential of future large scale school violence. We want our children to be not only healthy and thrive in our great state, but we want to make sure they remain safe and secure during their school day.
Representative pushes unfunded mandate bill
This came out of the House of Representatives today:
OKLAHOMA CITY – State Rep. Todd Thomsen today stressed the need for House Bill 1711 to be signed into law.
"Those arguing against House Bill 1711 say that legislators seeking to provide 'local control' to schools 'could rob students' of some unknown benefit," said Thomsen, R-Ada. "What seems lost on those opposing this legislation is that our school districts have endured multiple years of reduced state and federal funding while at the same time being buried under a mountain of unfunded and underfunded mandates. There is no money left for innovation at the local level."
Thomsen listed some of the more recently enacted unfunded and underfunded mandates:
· New Teacher / Leader Evaluation System
· Mandatory Remediation for Elementary Students Struggling to Read at Grade Level
· Mandatory Remediation for High School Students Failing Graduation Exams
· Implementation of the National Common Core State Standards
· Grading Schools on an A-F Scale
"Each of the mandates listed above have a significant cost that the state has pushed onto school districts," Thomsen said. "House Bill 1711 has turned the attention of the Legislature toward providing sufficient resources to ensure proper implementation of the important education reforms that have been enacted."
Thomsen noted that in February, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin was in Washington, D.C., as part of her duties as vice chair of the National Governors Association. The governor asked that President Obama and the Congress "relax those [federal] mandates [and] give us some leeway." While in Washington, Fallin was quoted as saying, "Don't balance the federal budget on the backs of state governments."
"Organizations representing school boards, school administrators and teachers have come together to support House Bill 1711 using the same message that Governor Fallin used in Washington, D.C.," Thomsen said. "The plea of these groups is that the time has come for our state to recognize that we cannot continue to push unfunded mandates on schools while at the same time balancing our state's budget on the backs of school districts.
"I support Governor Fallin's belief that our state should neither be used to balance the federal budget nor bear the price of unfunded federal mandates. When it comes to our school districts here in Oklahoma, the State Legislature should provide that same leeway to locally elected school boards.
"Those closest to our children understand what is needed and what can be afforded at the local school district level. House Bill 1711 provides parents, elected school boards and locally employed educators the flexibility to free up funds and use them in a more meaningful way that ultimately leads to better education outcomes for the students of Oklahoma."

Dissolved Ixan® resins are used as adhesion primers, heat-sealing lacquers and print-ink binder on various substrates. Cellulose and PET films (plain or metallized) and aluminium foils are coated with soluble Ixan® PVDC grades without the necessity of applying an adhesion promoter.
Ixan® soluble resins are excellent adhesion primers with barrier functionality on aluminum, metallized films and substrates, plastic films, paper, cellulose film, steel and wood. They are suitable for subsequent coating with Diofan® dispersions, the aqueous PVDC range for barrier coatings from Solvay Specialty Polymers.
Ixan® soluble resins can be used as binders in print-inks and in lacquer formulations as well as for heat-sealable protective varnishes.
Ixan® aluminum coating grades can be used to make foils reliably seal to themselves or to other webs, such as plastic foils, without losing barrier properties.
Cellulose films coated with Ixan® PVDC are used as a single barrier film for general overwrapping on vertical and horizontal form-fill-seal machines, and in particular are suitable for twist wrapping.
Uncoated aluminum foils cannot be sealed together by any technique. With the Ixan® aluminum coating grade you can make the foils reliably seal to themselves or to other webs such as plastic foils without losing barrier.
In view of its characteristics of adherence, water resistance, and chemical inertness, Ixan SGA 1 makes an excellent ink binder for printing on various substrates. The broad range of usable solvent systems for this resin allow the manufacturers to control the drying properties.
Heat-sealable varnishes protect your printed surface from chemical and mechanical attack.
Ixan® SGA 1 is a copolymer based on vinylidene chloride and vinyl chloride monomers. The unrivalled performance of Ixan SGA 1 is due to the combination of its outstanding adhesion characteristics combined with barrier properties. It can be used as a primer on a wide range of substrates, offering binding capabilities for print inks and paints, as well as protective varnishes.
In addition to barrier properties, Ixan® SGA 1 provides chemical resistance for coatings and coverings slong with heat-sealability, transparency, and glossiness for coatings. This grade is soluble in a wide range of common organic solvents at room temperature.
Ixan PNE 613 is a top coat for the coating of cellulosic or plastic films in a solvent mixture of tetrahydrofuran (THF) & toluene (TOL). This grade offers improved flexibility and sealing properties.
Ixan PNE 288 is a PVDC resin for coating of cellulosic or plastic films (PET), soluble in a solvent mixture of tetrahydrofuran (THF) & toluene (TOL). Coatings with this grade provide exceptionally low permeability for gases and moisture.

This may not be the most imaginative combo, but I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that these boyfriend jeans could in-fact be the very best pair around. I'm a big fan of Melbourne based denim brand Nobody, but bias isn't clouding my judgement. They really are that good. It's the ultimate shade of blue, stonewashed to perfection, with super relaxed fit that has just the right amount of slouch. Delicious.
The only down side is that this wash isn't available online. Although I'm sure if you asked the guys at Nobody nicely, they would be more than happy to help you out. Then just add a (slouchy) tee, belt and a simple sandal/loafer/pump and you're done.
Big thanks to my favourite Dane Marie, who kindly turned the camera on me when we were shooting together earlier this week.

Trying to run Nuclear Strike on Windows XP
So, I've dusted off that old game and installed it, but the game refuses to run on my PC. I only get a black screen.
Someone help me, please.
Re: Trying to run Nuclear Strike on Windows XP
The game Nuclear strike is pre windows 98 I think. You could try right clicking on the games EXE file and click properties. Go to the compatibility tab. Try running the game in 95 or 98 and or lowering the color in the dislplay. Does the black screen say no signal? Did you install the newest patch for the game?

Re: Trying to run Nuclear Strike on Windows XP
The problem is, I get the black screen when the Compatibility thing is turned on. Otherwise the desktop just flashes and nothing happens.
Yes, I have installed the latest patch. I know that the game worked before on my old AMD Thunderbird with that old 9000 Pro on Windows Me.
Re: Trying to run Nuclear Strike on Windows XP
Windows ME was basically Windows 98 with pretty things added to it. It was really a waste of time and a peice of trash, tbqh.
I tried running Nuclear Strike myself on XP (Home Edition) and it wouldn't work for me either, although I got a bit farther than you did (the menu would load up, but the game itself wouldn't function). I'd have to go with the rest with this one and say it's a compatability problem. Either that, or your graphics card can't handle it, in which case you're owned.
