Katie Sepich was a 22-year old college graduate from New Mexico in 2003 when she was brutally raped, murdered and her body set on fire.
She had fought for her life and forensic investigators found DNA evidence left by her attacker. Three years later DNA determined the identity of her attacker. But in those three years, the man committed several other rapes.
Katie's mother, Jan Sepich, implored the Kentucky House Judiciary Committee to approve a bill sponsored by Rep. Mary Lou Marzian, D-Louisville, which would allow collection of DNA evidence from those arrested for felony crimes.
Sepich said the proposed legislation would convict "these monsters who are hunting down and slaughtering our children."
The bill is modeled on one passed in New Mexico after her mother's efforts to get it enacted.
Collection of DNA evidence, Sepich said, can also prevent the wrongful imprisonment of innocent defendants.
One California rapist and murderer was finally caught and convicted through use of DNA evidence, Sepich testified, after another man had been wrongfully convicted of the crime and had spent 11 years in prison.
During those 11 years, the actual perpetrator raped and killed 12 others before the DNA testing linked him to the original crime, resulting in the release of the wrongfully convicted man.
Read the full story in Friday's print or e-edition of the Glasgow Daily Times.

For this comedy, he starred as an English barrister who gets mixed up with criminals (Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline) who are after some stolen jewels. Michael Palin also had a supporting role in the film, which Cleese co-wrote with Charles Crichton. The comedy raked in more than $200 million at the box office and earned Cleese and Crichton an Academy Award nomination for their script.
The following year,
Cleese reunited with his fellow Python colleagues to say good-bye to one of their own. Graham Chapman died of cancer in a London hospital on October 4, 1989, with Cleese; Palin; Chapman's partner David Sherlock; and some of Chapman's family by his side. That December, Cleese and several other members of Python spoke at Chapman's memorial service.
In 1997, Cleese tried to recreate the success of A Fish Called Wanda in Fierce Creatures by reuniting the cast for a new comedy. Unfortunately, the film received harsh reviews and performed poorly at the box office. Cleese had better luck with other franchises, signing on in the James Bond film series as an assistant gadget expert in The World Is Not Enough (1999). In 2002's Die Another Day, he returned as Q, the chief gadget expert. He also appeared in the first two Harry Potter films as a ghost named Nearly Headless Nick.
Cleese has also enjoyed some success on American television. He won an Emmy Award in 1987 for a guest appearance on the sitcom Cheers. More recently, Cleese had a recurring role on the hit comedy Will & Grace from 2003 to 2004.
His distinctive English accent has been put to good use on several animated projects as well. In Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek the Third (2007), and Shrek Ever After (2010), Cleese voiced King Harold.
Personal Life
Married three times, Cleese went through a bitter divorce in 2009. His third wife, American psychotherapist Alyce Faye Eichelberger, won a roughly $20 million settlement from Cleese. He soon announced that he would go on tour to raise money to pay the alimony to his ex-wife. Cleese has two daughters, Cynthia and Camilla. Cynthia is from his marriage to Connie Booth, and Camilla is from his second marriage to Barbara Trentham.
In Recent Years
An author of several books, Cleese contributed to 2005's The Pythons: Autobiography. He also reunited with the surviving members of Monty Python for several events in 2009 to celebrate the group's fortieth anniversary. These days, Cleese works on a variety of other projects. He continues to tour and recently made a guest appearance on the comedy series Entourage.

London Punk- Cultural Icons: 1970s
Following the "Swinging London" era of the 1960s, a new group of cultural icons arose. The 1970s saw the emergence of the punk rock movement, built upon the wave of psychedelic and folk rock music introduced in the '60s. In the post-hippie era of the early '70s, rock 'n' roll had a new glam image, pioneered by outrageously dressed rockers like David Bowie and Marc Bolan. Soon other acts followed, most notably young performers like Siouxsie Sioux and groups like T.Rex and The Clash. The music of the '70s inspired fashion as well, in particular designer Vivienne Westwood, whose punk designs for the Sex Pistols helped define the decade's London style. Biography.com looks at the various icons who defined London in the '70s.

Beauty Gifts That Are Bad to Give For the Holidays 10 Gifts You Should Probably Think Twice About Before Giving by Jaime Richards 11/24/10 0 Reactions 25 Shares Print 0 9 16 0 0 Most gift givers have nothing but good intentions in mind when choosing gifts for their loved ones. Unfortunately, and mainly due to their inherent nature, some gifts can come off as unintentionally insulting. Here are 10 beauty items you might want to think twice about — or put on your list for the ultimate passive-aggressive frenemy gift. Source: Thinkstock Start An Anti-jiggle Kit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: Don't get me wrong — Bliss is great, but perhaps you'd be sending the wrong message to Aunt Norma by giving the brand's Anti-jiggle Duo kit ($60), which includes the Love Handler and Fat Girl Slim. What to give instead: Bliss's blood orange-scented spa collection, which has an invigorating scent minus the cellulite commentary. Source: Thinkstock 1 / 10 The Neckline Slimmer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: A little exercise never hurt anybody, right? Uh, think again. Presenting someone with a Neckline Slimmer ($20) "exercise" tool is probably never a great idea. What to give instead: A gift certificate for a tension-relieving deep tissue massage. Source: Thinkstock 2 / 10 A Facial Hair Trimmer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: Unless you're very close to someone and they've specifically requested it, giving a facial trimmer ($16) could result in the said product being chucked at your face. What to give instead: Go for the less offensive Venus Spa Breeze holiday pack ($9). Source: Thinkstock 3 / 10 Un-Wrinkle, What? What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: With something like Peter Thomas Roth's Un-Wrinkle Kit ($68), you might see it as a high-end set that will give them gorgeous skin. Meanwhile, they assume you see them as the Cryptkeeper. What to give instead: The brand's travel-size pack of Lashes To Die For and Brows To Die For. Source: Thinkstock 4 / 10 The Split-Ender What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: Nothing screams, "Your hair looks fried, my friend," quite like the gift of a Split-Ender Maxi Kit ($60). What to give instead: A nice microfiber turban ($11), packaged up with a bottle of your favorite conditioner, will enable your friend to have a hair-enhancing spa treatment at home. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 10 A Teeth Whitening Kit What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: So we've all indulged in a few too many glasses of red wine or coffee every now and then and have the stains to prove it. While this Go Discover Teeth Whitening Discovery Kit ($59) does the job right, it's not so nice to point out yellowing teeth to a loved one. What to give instead: Keep the GoSmile for yourself. Meanwhile, this Estée Lauder lipstick sampler ($37) is a good option for showing off a great smile. Source: Thinkstock 6 / 10 Anything Acne What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: If the recipient of a gift such as Lucky Tiger Premium Soap for Acne and Blemishes ($18) does indeed have acne, I'm sure they don't need your smug face pointing it out. What to gift instead: A classic gift set of hand and body soaps, such as this Deluxe Soap Trio Gift Set ($30) from Voluspa, is a more suitable choice. Source: Thinkstock 7 / 10 For All Your Skin Troubles What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: We all have our skin issues, and that's why Viatek DermaBrite Deluxe 4-in-1 Facial Therapy ($200) seems like a cool gift idea (it uses light therapy, after all). But a gadget-loving friend might think you're pointing out uneven skin tone, acne, and lines. What to give instead: Almost everyone loves a Clarisonic ($149). Source: Thinkstock 8 / 10 Butt Lift in a Box . . . I Think Not What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: Butt Lift in a Box ($99). Need I say more? What to give instead: Sephora's Beauty in a Box series (prices vary) has a much nicer ring about it. Besides, everybody loves new makeup. Source: Thinkstock 9 / 10 A Lump of Coal What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The cause for concern: So you're telling your loved one they've been extra naughty this year with a lump of coal glycerin soap ($6)? Shame on you. What to give instead: OK, so this one's actually not that bad, especially if the giftee has a sense of humor. But if you really want to make a play on words, a luxe kohl eyeliner kit, like Laura Mercier's Mini Kohl Eye Pencil Set ($32), should suit your friend just fine.

What makes a woman truly sexy? The criteria are up for debate, but what we do know is that Minka Kelly stands out. She's Esquire's Sexiest Woman Alive of 2010.
So what makes Minka so sexy? Yes, the former Friday Night Lights star is gorgeous, but it's the way she does things. Things all of us do, like growing up, tackling a career, and getting older. It seems that the way a woman plays her cards - rather than simply which cards she's been dealt - is what truly makes her sexy. (Check out last year's Sexiest Woman Alive.)
Related: The Sexiest Women Alive... from Every Country on Earth
What Is Sexy: Staying Positive
Growing up, Minka didn't have much. She was raised by a single mom and they moved a lot. They had very little money. Resourcefulness and love got them through some rough years.
"My mom lived a fast life," she says now. "It was all about what we could do to have fun with nothing. She - for most of my life, she was a dancer. An exotic dancer. She was a stripper. Um, so she would come home at like three, four o'clock in the morning, and sometimes she would have a really great night, and so she would wake me up in the middle of the night and we'd go to Ralphs and go grocery shopping. And that was so much fun. We'd have the whole grocery store to ourselves, and we would have a blast and buy a hundred dollars in groceries. And it was just the best day ever. The best day."

What Is Sexy: Loving Yourself the Way You Are
Minka got the job working as a scrub nurse after high school in Los Angeles. On a test shoot for a modeling agency, the makeup person, a former Playboy Playmate, approached Minka with an idea. She said she wanted to manage Minka and turn her into a Playmate of the Year. Minka was nineteen. The woman got her a job answering phones at a surgeon's office, the idea being that Minka would work enough hours to get free breast implants. The procedure was already on the calendar when Minka decided she liked herself the way she was and called it off. Her manager had her fired from answering phones - but Minka, having gotten to know the scrub nurses in the office, asked about becoming one. She went to school for a year and became a surgeon's assistant.
But her acting career is a whole other story. Find out how she got her break.
What Is Sexy: Aging with Confidence
Growing older is one thing. But aging with confidence? Some would say it's a total turn-on. Minka is newly 30, a big birthday, we point out.
"It is a big one, and I love it. I think it's the most exciting birthday I think I've ever had. I'm so excited to be a woman. Done with the twenties. I'm confident - confident in my skin, and I'm cool with my flaws and all that stuff. It just feels nice to be at peace with yourself. I think my thirtieth birthday gave me permission to have all that. The twenties were a pain in the ass - figuring it all out. What am I doing? Where do I go?"
And when we ask what's in store for her thirties, she responds, "I don't know. And I'm glad I don't know."

File charges against the 'dad'. Put the child in a better home when it gets out of the hospital (still minus part of it's intestines and liver). Find out if the 'dad' was actually shooting at someone or just drunk and playing with his gun.
Please post the streets budget - all incoming and outlays line by line (including those for bond projects and maintenance work - also include mowing, since that is primarily what I see Streets workers doing). Rather than having the editorial board or the city just say that the public has failed to give them money, show us what money you have and where you spend it. What does the city do for maintenance - is it really just pothole patching or do they have seal coat projects, etc.?
Also, when it does come down to actual work please see to it that you use engineer-specifications on the products. I am wondering who is making the money on the poor quality concrete and asphalt mixes in this city. The stuff is crumbling or breaking within months. What happens to the products leftover when a project is completed? I have had contractors offer to sell it to me for my driveway...that could have been used for a few potholes.
If you ask for money, tell us what you plan to do with it.
Just for once, leave the wetlands alone. Please. Your mitigation won't be a replacement or probably even viable.
I am a bit concerned the tunnel idea is a strawman placed to make the proposed alignment seem more efficient.
I can't believe that the second-largest city on the Texas coast doesn't plan a budget to cover road maintenance. Generally, road construction is a Capitol Improvement Project, but road maintenance should be coming out of general funds. I don't even understand how they must budget in this City and County since every thing that needs to be done requires a new tax.
How are they going to figure road use fees? I don't know, but historically that sort of thing has been done by weight of vehicle.
I also don't see the need for millions to be spent on an even bigger road and bridge. So, you have poor circulation and stagnant water in your canals? I should not have to pay more to fix that for you....you already compromised the barrier island with your trashy canals.
So, if they just sell stuff like cigarettes, they must be tax-free like a reservation as much as the transients prefer them over the corner gas station. Maybe they get to run a tab.
These are the people that complained about not being able to sell 'incense' and 'bath salts'.
If we want to lift ourselves up we should think about staying clean.
I see kids going to school hungry all the time here in Flour Bluff. Many of them walk into school too late to participate in the breakfast program. Sometimes I see them with their mom at HEB mid-morning of a school day eating samples.
Their parents did not try to get them up for breakfast and the school bus. Their parents often resent government intrusion in the form of school, so they don't fill out the form for the free lunch program. Their parents usually find the money for cigarettes, alcohol and drugs, though.
The parents are living in a poverty of their own choice, but their kids are just living in poverty.
Thanks for speaking out for the resource!
The City and the County waste our tax dollars as if we were all wealthy. This is not a high-wealth area. This sort of manic spending needs to stop. All of us need to start recognizing when we are being played.
Exactly what do these places sell? In Flour Bluff the transients seem to leave the pawn shop directly for the smoke shop. What's up with that?
I thought I read that the city of Austin got the rice farmer's water this year.
Thanks for the article.
I remember taking the time to complete a survey online for the parks staff regarding the very info reported on by consultants....so, I am assuming the consultants likely put together the public survey and compiled the results. Should City staff have been able to do those tasks? Yes. Could they? Perhaps not or a consultant would not have been necessary.

(This comment was removed by the site staff.)
Both of you are on target.
Does the existing federal permit cover the new proposed impacts or is the developer expecting the City to get new federal permits for him? Does the existing federal permit cover the associated impacts of a major water entertainment resort? Who will pay for the mitigation those permits may require?
A friend and I went to the beach on Labor Day. I saw four-wheelers driving in the dunes, more inked zombies than I thought existed, and an unbelievable amount of trash. If those folks would abandon the beach for the water park, it might be a good thing...then the beach can revert back to uses that have a lot less negative impact than what I often see now. Otherwise, it's just another taxpayer boondoggle.
You can't go to the store and buy another aquifer.
I don't understand the anti-science attitude nor why it often appears in an anti-conservation argument.
Regardless of what I often read, I have found USGS and EPA to be very middle-of-the road. They are not anti-business or planning to fly a black helicopter over your house. If they are proceeding with caution, then caution is definitely warranted.
Let the developers pay for their own infrastructure just as they must everywhere else.
Never throw good money after bad to someone who still hasn't built what he promised.
Our city is too impoverished to maintain its existing streets and parks. Our libraries are on reduced hours. Basic safety infrastructure is not being maintained. We don't evem bother removing most of the graffiti. We don't have the staff to enforce existing codes and ordinances so that our neighborhoods remain pleasant and safe.
Our taxes are already high and yet we see so little return on our money. This smacks of dealmaking, but using our monies, not their own.
Thanks for the information. As a parent of a child that needs supervision to make sure he attends school, it is helpful to know the consequences from the court.
This is just not right. The entire article is just one big smirk.
As for the family vehicle being a 350 diesel truck - yeah, right. I seldom see actual families in those...usually just one person showing the world they are the top consumer. Even that argument is fatuous.
$180k or $25k - either way, the city has no business accruing those sort of charges in phone calls to (primarily) Port A - not in one year, two years or three...but certainly not in 5 months.
Do they have basic cost control and anti-theft policies in place for long-distance use? Most cities do.
Does not each department monitor and question long-distance use? Most cities do.
Does the city actually do that much communication with Port A outside of a few concerns on a shared boundary?
Keep working with the phone company to negotiate charges, but also investigate this further. It just isn't adding up.
The question instead is who he doesn't throw under the bus when it suits him. The administration is Chicago politics through and through.
I don't think, though, that Obama actually ran as a liberal....that was more everyone's own projections and assumptions.
The agencies that deal with the environment seem to always be the favorite whipping boys. Easy targets. Easy straw men. I am just glad our rivers don't still catch fire and that on most days I can breathe clean air. At the rate we are going, that may not last long.
Obama always shops his constituents and then turns around and ridicules them for their protests.
I never believed he was progressive or green and he has yet to prove otherwise. He's more concerned with keeping his Chicago machine running than with leading our nation, helping our people, or demonstrating integrity in decisionmaking.
Clean air is a good thing - just breathe in the smoke from recent days or today's reported pollution drifting over from Houston if you think otherwise.
Just to say - I enjoy your articles so much!
I can't find the article, but I thought I read recently in the news that the vast majority of the city's water use was by industry. I am curious as to whether the math in this article takes that into account. One can't simply divide gallons per day by population.
Why would a city bring in an industry that was going to cut our available supply of freshwater by half? I am not familiar with that plant's permitting process, but giving away half of a city's lifeline for one plant sounds suspicious. Has this process been transparent and above-board?
I am all for turning off the water when I brush my teeth, watering during certain hours, etc., but telling me to do that while the city itself is being irresponsible through poor maintenance, slow repairs, not accounting for industrial use is poor governance.
Here's an interesting article with photos and video http://blog.chron.com/shannontompkins...
Pretty disgusting.
So, for some the river is their floating mechanism, their trash bin, and I guess, probably their bathroom?
...maybe if they were not being 'homeschooled' they would realize that teachers do more than just sit behind a desk.
I am glad I am not one of their 'employees' living in a cage.
Kind of high prices at both of them. I haven't been able to afford the gelato, but I am assuming it may be instant just since the business volume doesn't seem that heavy.
The mainland is still needing a good shop for coffee, tea, pastries, and conversation. The island has a couple of nice places, though, with friendly staff.
I think the scrutiny this project is receiving is warranted. Obviously, the Corps of Engineers cannot be relied upon to provide that scrutiny if a project of this scale was planned as an EA originally.
Wind farms have impacts on birds and radar - that's a fact. Pretending otherwise doesn't change that. Railing against people who disagree doesn't change that, either.
I think sometimes the 'green' projects don't get the scrutiny they need. Existing federal guidance on wind farms and bird impacts isn't even mandatory. It's voluntary. Say what you will about the free market and responsible companies, I would prefer the federal agencies provide a more responsible oversight of our natural resources.
We need to pay more attention to the impacts that these sort of projects have - and maybe, get a better project out of that scrutiny as a result.
I don't like the fundraising and political natures of environmental groups, either, but that doesn't mean the questions they often ask are not valid.
Big Yellow Taxi.
So, if folks have good, biological data, let's send it in to the named biologists in the article and help them out.
I would like to see Representative Farenthold submit a brief article explaining why he interfered in the ongoing NEPA process of setting speed limits at the national seashore. Castastrophe was not looming. Action on his part was not required. So why interfere by submitting a rider that prevents NPS from managing/administering the seashore? Perhaps he can provide all of his constituents an explanation.
Given this and the budget idiocy, it seems he panders to an extremely small subset of his constiutency. I didn't vote for him, but that doesn't mean that now that he's elected he doesn't represent me, too.
Also, one should try not to make statements about Texans not spending money they don't have in the same newspaper that the latest taxpayer ripoff on Padre Island is discussed. Our taxes and fees are already extremely high given our lack of return in valid city and county services.
Yep - hear it all the time. Algae: our new fuelsource, foodsource, animal feed...you name it, algae can do it. Kudos to you guys carrying out the research!
I enjoyed your editorial, Mr. Jimenez, and would agree that our charge of stewardship is not an easy one. Taking it seriously is not a popular decision, either.
I am curious and confused about some things I have been reading regarding the sea turtle and speed limits at the seashore. Perhaps a follow-up article by the Outdoors writer or yourself would help me and others to understand recent events. I have read that Blake Farenthold has placed a rider on the seashore's funding that they are prohibited from spending funds towards any activity whatsoever that results in a speed limit less than 25 mph. Is this true? What I have read has also made statements such as the City of Corpus Christi supports a certain alternative to the EA, etc. Although, and this is where I get confused, all of the talk about alternatives and CAC support or input, etc. seems moot if Farenthold has in fact put forth a rider that circumvents the other federal laws such as NEPA or the ESA or the park service's own land management guidance.
I think the Caller-Times would do a great public service to provide some clarity/transparency/accurate info to the issue and follow up as to any final decisions.
I also appreciate your article's acknowledgement of the value of eco-tourism in our area - it cannot be overstated even if it often seems to be dismissed as invalid.
Kudos, too, for pointing out the positives we have with the research center. The magic and miracle of science exposure that the UTMSI gives each year to children is life-changing and life-affirming.
hmmmm....this stuff is too scary to blame on the heat, including the above commenter's sharp observations. Seems like we always have our monies being taken, but we are never given a truthful accounting of what is actually done with those monies...or have any returned when it turns out they didn't need to raise fees afterall.
Maybe, though, the heat can be blamed for Port A wanting roach-coaches on the beach.
I love Port A, but it is already over-commercialized. I remember it when it was funky. Really, you guys think having more opportunities to buy cheap plastic things from China are needed directly on the beach? I know - don't go if you don't like it. But, we have council members here in CC that think our island needs to be just like Port A.
The reference to iced coffees is funny. We all know that it will just be beer stands. Yep, that's just what we need here in paradise. More drunk drivers.
Perhaps the city proposal can be selected and put in place with adequate funding. Something needs to be done. No one likes to take care of their neighbor's lack of responsibility to spay/neuter, feed, or shelter their pets, so it falls to the city as it becomes a quality of life and safety problem. Often these animals that are loose or have been menacing people are unvaccinated, too.
I see a lot of dogs tied up in yards or allowed to run loose. The owners don't care about them - they don't seem to care about their kids or being responsible for their actions, either. I don't know how we fix a mindset. I don't know how to fix the mindset of thinking kittens or puppies are so "cute", but then dumping them later. Seems like every druggie with a rent house has to have a 'bad' dog that then gets dumped or allowed to become a stray in the neighborhood. All life is just a throw-away piece of trash in this mindset.
With some basic funding, though, the animal control unit must also become responsible. If I call you about a stray, don't tell me you can't do anything and then hang up on me. If you set a live trap, don't wait a few days to check it - traps must be checked daily, at the least.
Also, an understanding is needed that feeding stray cats without trapping/neutering and releasing them is not kindness....but again, you hit the wall of that mindset.
How we treat our pets, how we treat our children, how we treat each other in our community -- it's all connected.
I am new to this subject, but it does sound as if an EIS is warranted. The interface of the multiple uses at the park are significant. I don't know that I buy everyone's arguments for not reducing the speed, though. I see too many people at the beach blitzing through the shorebirds at speeds in excess of 25 mph. A slower speed may be of best benefit to all users, including the non-human ones.
Perhaps NPS should do a new plan and an EIS on that plan - revisit speeds, planning for sea turtles, revisit tourism impacts since that has increased exponentially, etc. I would like to see an increase in patrolling for things like public intoxication, unleashed dogs, sex behind the dunes, drunk driving. There are times where it seems like it's spring break every weekend (although I may be confusing the county/city portions here).
If folks want turtles at Matagorda, they should work towards that as a positive rather than putting it forward always as a negative to the park.
The brief discussion on "jeopardy" is a bit of a red herring. Some random FWS biologist doesn't get to make that call (and generally they don't make a jeopardy call in this region or work on listing species, for that matter)...and NPS is not trying to avoid a "jeopardy" by lowering the speed limit - they are working on recovering a species from more than just an ESA perspective.
I am a bit surprised at the level of disrespect/resentment I continually see towards the park and its employees. It's a beautiful place - not to be found anywhere else in our world. The employees there have a public responsibility to meet. All of you guys who don't want any rules, any so-called 'nanny state' should realize that the opposite of that in this instance would be that you wouldn't even have an accessible beach to drive upon.
I appreciate the article giving us info on how to have input into the process.
I would like to see the schools prepare all of the students for college level work. I don't like the idea of partitioning kids' into groups where some kids are ok (the AP kids) and others are mentally deficient. I also think the kids with true challenges need to be put in a resource class to help them rather than throw them in with everyone else and watch them flounder while they drag the whole class down.
I find the whole idea that only the "AP kids" have value in the school appalling.
And, since we're talking testing here: can we start teaching again and stop just teaching for tests? After the tests are over, they keep our kids in the auditorium for two weeks watching Disney movies with a few hours set aside totally unstructured for the kids to work on some busywork "project".
As for taking care of your college credits before you go to college - life is a process, not something to rush through. What's next - AP pre-K? It seems that the schools already start "weeding out" kids at the intermediate level - categorizing them, mapping out their futures by sticking them only in the 'babysitting' classes. My son was told he could only get in the good teachers' classes if he did well on his TAKS...in 6th grade.
Teach all of the children. Think about making all of the AP students take the AP tests and only get the weighted credit if they pass the test. Keep it real for everyone.
I recently read in the troubleshooter column that we should hold off on pruning our palms until August/September so that the palms can provide shelter and nesting habitat for yellow bats in the summer.
Am I missing something here? Or can we get some co-existing advice for nice looking palms and a chance for yellow bats?
Perhaps we could use some pointers on how to best take action regarding complaints. I don't know that the council meetings are the best format for all concerns. I have contacted the city about concerns before and had them ignored - still have poor equipment maintenance at playgrounds in the bluff, still no lights at Dimmit Pier at night, still no enforcement of existing codes and ordinances on properties in the bluff. I don't want to be just a complainer - I want to help make my little world better.
I know one way - through voting. Two things I am paying attention to at the moment: furloughing felons and council not taking public responsibility seriously (e.g. 200 vs. 350 ft setbacks). Adler: we don't all want to pave paradise.

We have 3 node RAC Primary and a 3 node RAC Standby part of our Production Dataguard setup. We are using DBConsole to monitor the databases in our environment.
The agent and console was up on the Primary site and the Production database was being continuously monitored using the GUI.
Recently as part of maintenance activity the database roles have been switched.
My question is :
Can we just proceed to start the emagent and console on the new primary site (which was not running initially as it was a standby previously) and continue to monitor the environment?What is the risk involved in doing so?
I know it's not the question you asked but Data Guard broker makes this simple and is a great option.
DGMGRL> show configuration;
If I were going to use EM I would make sure that:
1. I deploy Enterprise Manager agents to the both primary and standby servers.
2. The Standby database(s) are added to to Enterprise Manager.
Best Regards
Thanks for the update.
Please note that we are not using the Enterprise Manager Grid Control in our environment. It is the Enterprise Manager DBConsole that is being used.
So how do we go about approaching this situation if it is DBconsole?
I would setup Data Guard Broker first. If you don't anything you try to do later will be incomplete.
Best Regards

Will Smith Goes Bollywood
'Hitch' star will produce a pair of Indian offerings
UTV has announced a deal to co-produce two movies with Overbrook budgeted at a combined $30 million. According to various Indian media reports, the pact includes one live-action film with a $10 million budget and a CG animated project with a $20 million budget.
The films will then be internationally distributed by Sony Pictures Entertainment, home of Smith's production arm.
Smith and Overbrook partner James Lassiter visited India back in February and certain co-production ventures were proposed.
Neither film is expected to feature Smith in any kind of on-camera role.
"This unique agreement is the future of our business", says Sony Pictures Entertainment Motion Pictures Group Chairman Amy Pascal in a statement. "Sony has been involved with local language initiatives for many years and this deal accentuates the way our industry is becoming more borderless and more global every day."
Overbrook Entertainment produced Smith's upcoming "The Pursuit of Happyness," as well as the Oscar nominee's previous hits "Hitch" and "I, Robot."

An easy and simple way to find the hidden benefits in your book
March 10, 2014 by Sam Henrie, PresidentBefore you can expect your book to sell one copy or a million, you need to know the benefits your book offers to readers.
Once you figure out the benefits, then you need to make that top benefit known on the front cover.
It's up to you.
The reader has many books to choose from and unless your book jumps out with an interesting title, cover or special offer, the chance of it selling outside your immediate circle of friends is low.
Finding the top benefit of your book, whether fiction or nonfiction, is not easy.

In the book, Author 101 by Rick Frishman and Robyn Freedman Spizman, the authors explain why specifics outsell generalities. "When you're competing in such a crowded market, tell potential buyers the precise benefits they will get from your book."

March 04, 2014 by Grael Norton, Acquisitions ManagerWhen writing your blog posts, you can often find great ideas from other blogs in your genre. For this article, I was looking on Alltop and I found a great post by R. J. Adams about using quotes from your book and combining a quote with an image to share on sites like Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Not only did the article provide a great idea but it listed 11 sites that you can use to make these images.
Of course, it wouldn't be right to grab Adams' material and rewrite it into a new article. But it's perfectly legitimate to use it as a springboard to a new article with a link back to the article that inspired you, and the author will appreciate the sharing.
This article here is not about using quotes to promote your book, but rather about using other blogs and articles to inspire your own ideas. At the same time, finding a great article like that on the quotes was so rewarding that I wanted to find a way to share it with a fresh angle.

March 01, 2014 by Grael Norton, Acquisitions ManagerIs it ever too late to become an author? I don't think so. One of the easiest ways to get started is to write your own small book of memories, poems and glimpses of life for your family and friends. Who knows what will happen once you start? You might find it to be fun, so you go on to write a great novel or you might decide one book is enough and leave it at that. But either way, sharing one's life story even with only a handful of family and friends is a gift of love and caring that can be passed from generation to generation.

February 28, 2014 by Wheatmark, AdminWhen it comes to dialogue and writing in your character's voice, how do you add your own twist? How can you add your personality to the material without forcing the dialogue into an unnatural progression? How can you add style, interest, and your own pizazz to someone else's words? Writing dialogue can be tricky, especially if you're writing in an unfamiliar accent. Proofreading your work can help identify sneaky accent errors and help you add your own style back into the dialogue. There are several easy ways to place your touch to each accent, character, or place that you write about.
1. Imagine yourself as the character: If you sit down to write a scene between two characters, imagine what you would be thinking, feeling, talking about if you were them. Everyone thinks about scenarios differently and this process could be crucial in you letting your own ideas and voice shine. Taking on the mindset of your character in addition to your own views, opinions, likes, and dislikes will set you apart from other writers naturally. You'll be able to create organic, flowing dialogue that sounds like your character with a touch of you. One of the biggest struggles I have as a writer is putting myself in my character's shoes to write their dialogue. But once I manage to think about how I would feel in the situation and then think about the character's similarities and differences to my own ideas, it becomes much clearer how and what I need to write; plus, I've added my own unique touch in the process.

Whether your book is about finding a partner in a romance or solving a mystery, create a quiz about the situation.
Authors of non-fiction can create questions around a topic that would build interest in readers. For instance, if you were writing a book about public speaking you could ask the following questions.

February 26, 2014 by Sam Henrie, PresidentIn the U.S. 67 percent of kids aged two-to-thirteen are now reading eBooks, according to a combined research project of Digital Book World and PlayCollective. The study also stated that 92% of these kids read every week. This news was announced at the Digital Book World Conference.
As more and more schools use tablets in the classroom, digital reading has become the norm almost overnight. Once exposed to digital learning in school, it's an easy jump for these students to grab digital books for fun and entertainment as well.
OverDrive, the leading lender of eBooks in schools and libraries, also announced at the 2014 conference that digital checkouts reached an explosive 102 million and this number is rapidly growing. Digital learning may be one the best ways to level the learning field throughout the world. OverDrive partners with over 28,000 libraries and schools in 42 countries.

She wrote two chapters and then was so discouraged after reading them that she decided to quit. "No good, can't do it," she said. Then a writing friend called her on the phone. The friend listened to her long tale of woe and then told her, "Those chapters are fine. Stop being afraid. Stop criticizing yourself."
So she continued to write her book. It became a New York Times best-seller and sold over 3.5 million copies.
We are often the worst judge of our work. Either we think it's absolute gold and don't want a single word changed or we think it's absolutely stupid and won't let anyone read it.

Had this beer on tap at the brewery tap room.
Appearance: Comes out a hazy lightish brown with ruby highlights and half a finger of light tan head. Retention and lacing are just okay. Looks like a pretty weak porter at this point.
Smell: Light roastiness, some chocolate and florals. Not getting much else. They were popping a shitload of popcorn by the time I had this beer and it was really screwing up my ability to review it, at least in the smell category.
Taste: The taste completely exceeded my expectations. A medium amount of roastiness, light char, a good deal of chocolate bring up the front and middle. A nice floral twang on the back end. Really a superbly done porter in this category, especially when compared with how it looked and smelled. 4
Mouthfeel/Overall: Medium bodied with nice fine carbonation. It stops just short of being creamy. Again when comparing the feel to the look and smell, it's quite surprising. Overall, a pretty solid porter. I like it a lot.
Serving type: on-tap

The sound and overall vibe of {$Lawrence Welk}'s {^Christmas Memories} will be familiar to fans of the famous bandleader's milquetoast variety program. Viewed through a furious, sideways eggnog hangover, the show seemed to take place in a bizarre antireality, populated by stuffed tuxedo ruffle shirts and more taffeta than an explosion at a McCall Patterns factory. It was like a WASP {#Def Comedy Jam}. With a few swooning numbers from {$the Lawrence Welk Orchestra} leading the merry way, {^Christmas Memories} runs through the usual {\standards}, and features contributions from numerous {$Welk} ringers. {$The Lennon Sisters}' pristine harmonies work wonders with an understated {&"The Little Drummer Boy"} and warm things up with the cheery cocktail {\lounge} favorite {&"Christmas Island."} The biggest Grinch in the world will have to say "Aw, shucks" when the smiling quartet sings "How'd you like to stay up late/Like the islanders do/Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe." Other highlights include a jaunty instrumental take on {&"Sleigh Ride"} led by {$Welk} show accordion virtuoso {$Myron Floren} (arriving complete with hokey hoof effects, fluttering flutes, and jangling sleigh bells); a {\countrypolitan} {&"Holly Jolly Christmas"} from {$Clay Hart} ("Y'all have a good Christmas now, y'hear?"); and everyone's favorite Emerald Isle singalong, {&"Christmas in Killarney."} {^Christmas Memories} is typical of the budget {\holiday} fare that floods the market each Christmas. But it's also a trip down memory lane for anyone who's ever been transfixed by the grimacing white-bread kookiness of {#The Lawrence Welk Show}. ~ Johnny Loftus, Rovi

About the InstituteThe North Carolina Institute for Child Development Professionals (Institute) provides both free and fee-based services. The Institute
OverviewDebra Torrence, Institute Director Quick Links
The Institute has since its inception in 1993 focused its efforts on building a comprehensive professional development and recognition system that links education and compensation for the over 40,000 Early Educators who work with children or support the work of child care and school age programs. The work of the Institute addresses a very important need in our state – to support the development of an educated child care workforce to provide healthy, safe and stimulating environments and experiences for over a quarter million young children and their families. The Institute was established in 1993 as a result of NAEYC's national effort to address the need for national and state-level early care and education professional development systems. In September 2008, the Institute incorporated as a non-profit in North Carolina. In September 2009, its first Board of Directors was formed. The mission of the North Carolina Institute for Child Development Professionals (the Institute) is to promote the implementation of a comprehensive professional development and recognition system that links education and compensation for child development professionals to ensure high quality care and education services for children and families. The work of the Institute is conducted by the Board and Institute partners who work together in task groups and committees with the common purpose of working toward the Institute's mission. Through in-person and virtual forums, outreach efforts and implementation of the NC Early Educator Certification (EEC) system, the Institute engages leadership within and across sectors, at various levels, to develop and implement strategies designed to enhance and strengthen North Carolina's approach to professional development for early care and education and school age professionals. Collaboration & PlanningOngoing and grant-funded efforts are underway in North Carolina at the state level within agencies and organizations as well as efforts focused specifically on professional development. The Institute is composed of a large partner network. Partners include Early Educators who work directly with and those working on the behalf of children ages birth to twelve in early care and education settings. State level partners support the work of the Institute through participation on Task Groups and Committees, provide resources, meeting space, materials and support the implementation of collaborative activities. Financial Information - Form 990 (2011) |
Defining an Early Educator Professional Development SystemWhy is a strong early childhood professional development system important? Over the last two decades there has been increasing interest in learning about the experiences of children in early care and education settings: what settings are good and how early care and education influences later school performance and behavioral patterns. In particular, we have learned a great deal in recent years about the benefits and cost of high-quality early care and education services, and how to improve programs to meet the needs of all children. This and the evidence about the impact of a teacher's education has increased the need to shift from scattershot training to intentional forms of ongoing education and professional development to build, grow and retain a high qualified workforce. Professional development, in this context, refers to a combination of education and continuing education via college courses, continuing education units, conferences and professional forums as well as workshops. Well-designed professional development includes a broad range of activities and audiences:
Why It MattersA quality early care and education and school age workforce matters. For Children
For Women
For Our State, Business and Industry
What It IsAn Early Educator professional development system is a comprehensive approach to providing professional development opportunities. When an effective ecpd system has been built:
In addition, a well-drawn system builds on base education and articulates prior learning (education and training) into the professional development pathway for the individual; supporting forward progress toward personal education goals without redundancy and continuing education is provided by highly qualified staff.

John Thomas Financial/ Tommy Belesis Subject Of FBI Investigation 0 comments
Feb 8, 2013 4:00 PM | about stocks: AWSRJohn Thomas Financial, a broker/dealer owned and run by Tommy Belesis (Anastasios P Belesis) , who appeared in Oliver Stone's "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps", is the subject of an investigation involving the FBI, FINRA & the SEC according to a story that appeared in the New York Post on February 7, 2013.
According to the story, the inquiry is focused on whether John Thomas Financial had received information in advance of Bristol-Myers Squibb deal to buy drugmaker Inhibitex.
Mr. Belesis FINRA records, available here, indicate he has a number of issues with customers and a former employer. One customer was awarded about $259,000 on a claim of churning, breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty. He was discharged from S.W. Bach & Company because of "an inaccurate representation of identity to customer".
The day after this story broke, the Investment News announced that John Thomas Financial has withdrawn from a suit it filed against five ex-brokers alleging they used stolen proprietary information to lure customers away. According to that article, affidavits filed in response to the suit say that John Thomas, through Belesis, promoted a pump and dump stock scheme.
One example cited is Liberty Silver Corp., a company promoted by John Thomas. Liberty Silver traded at $1.55 in October before the SEC suspended trading. It is currently trading for about 39 cents.
In January 2009, John Thomas Financial was lead underwriter on a private placement offering for America West Resources (OTC:AWSR) that raised over $5 million. That stock was trading at over $2.75 in early January 2009. It currently trades a one penny.
John Thomas Financial and Belesis have been the focus of criticism in the past over their fund raising efforts in connection with AMBER Ready.
