DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- A newspaper review determined suspicious test scores from hundreds of Ohio school districts and charter schools point to the possibility that there was cheating, though the analysis doesn't prove that.
The Dayton Daily News (http://bit.ly/H2B7Mn ) found steep spikes and drops on standardized test scores since 2005. The review, in partnership with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, was part of a larger national analysis revealing that scores in hundreds of cities followed a pattern that, in Atlanta, indicated cheating in multiple schools.
Using a statistical model looking at reading and math tests, it found more than 500 Ohio districts and charter schools had at least one school with an improbably large score change from year to year over the analyzed time period. It looked for unlikely score changes, calculated the likelihood that a district would have such improbable scores in a year, and found some of those probabilities were nearly zero.
The Ohio Department of Education and a teachers union, the Ohio Education Association, questioned how the analysis was done and whether any valid conclusions could be drawn.
"We are not Atlanta," said Jim Herrholtz, ODE associate superintendent for learning, who has served as superintendent in three Ohio districts.
OEA spokesman Mike Mahoney discouraged the newspaper from publishing the analysis. "We feel that there is a grave chance that this data and this study are totally flawed," he said.
The newspaper did not identify the individual districts but said it's unlikely that the total number of large spikes and drops -- 2,600 in Ohio schools -- could all be explained by factors such as the quality of instruction, class size, demographics or the movement of individuals in and out of schools during a year.
The Department of Education said it takes steps to identify any cheating. It extensively trains educators on test protocols and encourages districts to report problems, and its testing contractor analyzes how frequently test-takers erase and change their answers, which can be a sign of cheating.
Those safeguards have prompted disciplinary action against 60 educators in the past five years, with some cases reported by the test vendor and others reported by schools, department officials said.

Alliance outlasts Gering in double OT
The third time was a charm for the Alliance boys basketball team against Gering. It took two overtimes but Alliance got that first win of the season against Gering, 77-to-76, in the first round of the District B6 Tournament at Cougar Palace in Scottsbluff.
It looked like Alliance might make the game a rout. After Gering scored the first five points of the contest Alliance took control. They led 17-to-13 at the end of the first quarter. Michael Baker's crew was up 29-to-22 at halftime.
The Alliance lead grew to double figures in the third period when Gering coach Randy Plummer cleared the bench. And the bench brought Gering back. Freshman Austin Hoffman connected on three three-point field goals in the quarter and Gering got to within two, 41-to-39, by the end of the stanza.
Alliance extended the lead to seven, 53-to-46, with just over a minute to go, then Gering sophomore guard Joses Palomo took charge. He nailed a three-pointer with a minute to go to get Gering to within four at 53-to-49. That field goal was his first of the contest.
Three seconds later Alliance turned the ball over on an inbounds pass after a time out. Gering responded with a Grant Olsson field goal with :53 to go to get the fourth seeded Bulldogs to within two.
After two Ryan Romick free throws with :46 to go put Alliance back up by four at 55-to-51, Gering got another field goal from Palomo with :32 to go to get Randy Plummer's crew to within two.
Alliance then turned the ball over with :17 to go, giving Gering a chance to tie or win the game. They tied it up on an Olsson baseline jumper at the buzzer to send the game into its first overtime.
Alliance struck first in overtime with a field goal to go up 57-to-55, then Zac Bibb came up big for Gering, burying two straight three point field goals to give Gering a 61-to-57 lead.
A big play in the contest came with :51 to go in the first overtime. Olsson fouled out for Gering and Isaac Burnham tied the contest at 61-to-61 with two free throws on the play.
The second overtime period was like a heavyweight boxing title bout. Every time a team appeared to deliver a knockout punch the other team threw a counter punch.
Austin Ferguson scored Gering's first three points in the second extra period from the foul line. After hitting three in a row he missed the fourth but Gering got three offensive rebounds. Bibb scored on the third to put Gering up 66-to-64 with 2:08 to go.
But Alliance countered with a three point field goal from Jordan Mills to take a one point, 67-to-66 lead with 1:48 to go.
Gering came right back :15 later and retook a two point lead on another trey by Palomo. Burnham answered :10 later for Alliance. He tied the game at 69-to-69, but missed on a three point play opportunity from the foul line.
Palomo came right down the court for Gering and nailed another three point field goal to put Gering up 72-to-69 with 1:02 to go. But Burnham answered :!3 seconds later with a trey for Alliance to tie the game again.
The game still had plenty of fireworks left. Palomo connected on his third trey of the second overtime to put Gering back in front 75-to-72 with :38 to go.
Gering made it a two possession game with :22 to go when Bibb added one of two free throws.
Gaige Lehl of Alliance was fouled on the rebound of Bibb's missed second free throw and he hit the second of two free throws to get Alliance back to within three at 76-to-73.
Gering then turned the ball over on a five second call after that made free throw. Alliance promptly got to within 76-to-75 when Bibb was called for goaltending on a shot by Mills.
Another Gering turnover against Alliance pressure gave the ball back to Alliance and Burnham drove the lane to score the winning basket with just over :02 to go.
With the win Alliance moves to 9-13 on the season. Gering's campaign ends at 13-10. Alliance will return to Cougar Palace Monday night to tangle with top seeded and defending state champ Scottsbluff in a semifinal game at 6:00 p.m. You can hear the game on KNEB-AM and kneb.com.
Saturday's game was full of long bombs. The two teams combined to hit 25 three point field goals. Burnham had eight for Alliance and finished with a game high 32 points. Mills added 26 for the Bulldogs, who played without Trevor Kamerzell who was suspended for the game.
Gering had 19 points and 12 rebounds from Bibb. Palomo added 17 points, all coming in the final minute and later in the contest. Olsson added 14 points and 14 rebounds. Austin Ferguson also was in double figures in rebounds for Gering with 10. Hoffman added 12 points for Gering.
Monday's second district semifinal game will match second seeded McCook and number three Sidney. That game will follow 20-minutes following the Scottsbluff-Alliance contest.

The Boys and Girls Clubs of Albany receive new energy efficient appliances from a top manufacture.
Samsung donated about $2,500 worth of Energy Star qualified appliances to the Club.
A new washer and dryer was donated to the club for collecting over 700 pledges from parents club members and community people promising to conserve energy.
Club members were also educated on the importance of conserving energy.
"It's important for them to understand if they turn the lights off behind them, turn the faucets off or computers and the Xbox, they can help their parents save money for their homes," Jason Belk, Boys & Girls Club of Albany.

Man charged with shooting two in Killington apartmentMarch 16,2014By Brent Curtis
Staff Writer
KILLINGTON – A man charged with shooting and injuring two people in a Killington Road apartment will answer to four criminal charges Monday, according to Vermont State Police.
Justin Bitar, 28, who lives at 2841 Killington Road where the shooting took place, will answer to two counts of aggravated assault and a charge of using a firearm in the commission of a crime – all felonies. Bitar was also charged with a misdemeanor count of reckless endangerment. Vermont State Police said he is jailed on $25,000 bail.
State Police Detective Lt. Kevin Lane said troopers were called to an apartment above the Outback restaurant at about 4:45 a.m. for a reported shooting.
Two people, Matt Dunn, 25, and Jessica Martome, 25, were taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center for gunshot wounds to their legs.
By this afternoon, Dunn had been released from the hospital but Lane remained a patient there. A hospital spokeswoman said at 4:30 p.m. that Martome was listed in good condition.
Bitar lived in the apartment where the shooting took place along with Dunn and Martome, he said. Lane said he couldn't discuss the details of the case but he said the shooting occurred after an altercation earlier in the evening.
Lane said one of Bitar's friends, Karl Albert, 44, was charged with simple assault against Dunn during the earlier incident but the detective said Albert wasn't present when the shooting took place. Albert was issued a citation to appear in court April 28.
Lane said two shots were fired during the incident and he said police have recovered the firearm.
A Vermont forensic crime team was at the apartment this afternoon, he said, and police have applied for a search warrant for the address.
The Herald will post additional details as they are received. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Vermont State Police at 773-9101.MORE IN This Just InRutland Plywood held its final meeting with employees who said they're moving on from the company...

The topic of the day is their fly little new issue dedicated to De La Soul. Why might they do this? Do De La have a new hit on the charts? Is De La dead again? No, from what I can gather, the dudes are just chilling and living well, and have an amazing story to tell. Inside the mag, you'll see the original sample clearance form for Plug Tunin', a dual interview between Maseo and George Clinton, a glossary of all the classic De La speak and find out Jerobi is a chef in Atlanta. Huh? Tons of awesome stuff in here. Pick up a copy if your able and if not, check out www.frank151.com to subscribe.

It's Friday evening and the Om family is about to go throw down tonight at Mezzanine in celebration of 15 years of Om. As we are all prepping for giant disco balls, Metro Area, and Om's veteran Farina, here is a Friday afternoon article for those of you who are unable to enjoy the festivities tonight. The SF Weekly sat down with our resident wordsmith / VP of "Newish Media", Gunnar Hissam for a "Where are They Now Segment" in celebration of Om's 15 year anniversary. Enjoy!
Then: "They were San Francisco's answer to all that trip-hop shit, the band with a DJ and a female vocalist playing moody jazz- and soul-based music. Their [Om] album was supposed to come out in '97, but then they got signed to DreamWorks, who let them go. There's a whole album, 13 tracks, that nobody ever heard."

Ancient Astronauts are a production duo from Cologne, Germany. Their production style can be summed up as DJ Shadow meets Thievery Corporation meets our very own J-Boogie's Dubtronic Science; Jazzy hip hop beats layered and textured with vocals, synths, and electronic elements. It only makes sense that the new album is being put out by Thievery Corp's ESL label.
"We Are To Answer" is the new artist album from this dynamic duo. Om artist, Raashan Ahmad, Zeph & Azeem join favorites Bajka and hip hop legends, The Pharcyde as special cameos. A mixture of instrumental and vocal tracks, each track on the album paints a different vivid picture with a universal idea of the connection between oneself and something larger. The stand out for me is "A Hole To Follow Us" featuring the female vocalist Phat Mamas.

It's pretty obvious we love graffiti and street art here at Om, but let's face it. It's not exactly green to use spray paint. For those of you with a green thumb or if you just appreciate cool gadgets, check out the halo. The halo is a handy light-writing tool, preserving the techniques and gestures that graffiti artists use with spray cans. It is possible to change the color and the brightness of the led to change the graffiti's styles. If the light doesn't have enough battery, users simply have to shake it to have energy again. Pretty neat stuff!
Andy Gilmore is an draftsman, illustrator, and graphic designer from Rochester, NY. His ability to craft detailed pieces from shapes and colors that provoke human emotions is unique. Simple yet detailed, his art force viewers to really spend some time examining. If only my geometry professor produced this, I might have actually taken an interest.
Andy replied to my initial email to him by saying, "It would be an honor to be spotlighted by Om". Truth is, I'm really honored he let us.

The idea of human love being unconditional is also a relatively modern invention. Until the 18th century, love had been seen, variously, as conditional on the other person's beauty (Plato), her virtues, (Aristotle), her goodness (Saint Augustine) or her moral authenticity (the Swiss philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau). Even Saint Thomas Aquinas, perhaps the greatest of all Christian theologians, said we would have no reason to love God if He weren't good.
The myth that love is unconditional comes from the decline of religion. Christianity, for example, teaches that only God loves unconditionally and that humans, being sinners, need God's grace to get anywhere close to unconditional love. After the 18th-century Enlightenment, the divine ability to love unconditionally got attributed to human beings, while the other half of the story — that we need God's grace for it — was sidelined.
But all human love is conditional. We love others because of something, whether their beauty, goodness or power; because they belong to our families; or because they protect and nurture us. By recognizing that all we have is conditional love, we are less likely to give up on our loved ones as quickly as we often do, less likely to be worried if we occasionally fall in and out of love with them or they with us, and less likely to scare them off by expecting their love to be of superhuman strength.
Another idea about love that has changed over time is that true love must be everlasting. But when love ends, it doesn't mean it wasn't true. It's usually replaced with companionship, habit or benevolence rather than enmity. The euphemism that gets tossed around is that we're coming to love someone "in different ways." Often, though, this isn't accurate: We are, in fact, ceasing to love them.

I am so very excited to be doing a review with Mohawk Home, the rug division of Mohawk Industries. They are the largest manufacturer of area rugs, indoor and outdoor mats and washable rugs in the United States (not to mention their super stylish designs).
Here are some other facts I'm betting you didn't know about Mohawk Home. Mohawk Industries leads the market in many different flooring categories such as carpet, ceramic tile, stone, wood and rugs in the United States. They are even leaders in the European market in laminates. Obviously to be such a leader in the industry they are not a fly by night company just getting started. Mohawk dates back to the 1800's when they became on of the very first American carpet manufacturers and as of today they are headquarter in Calhoun, Georgia and also have operations on three other continnets.
Some of you may have read on my facebook status updates that I have been eagerly anticipating my Mohawk rug. Like really, really anticipating to the point that while I have been at work I have been texting my husband "is it there yet?" Finally on Friday he was able to answer in the affirmative and I couldn't wait to get home from work (err, more so than usual)
I recently rearranged the living room in a way that really opened up the floor space and while the hard wood floors are nice, I wanted a rug. What can I say, rugs make me happy and they are a sure fire way to really change up the room. Being a frugal gal I picked up a no name brand from the department store that I paid twenty some dollars for. I thought it was a good deal. I also thought it made the room look better and that I could ignore the fact that it was always slipping and sliding and thin as paper too boot.
After changing it out with the Mohawk Home rug I now realize how wrong I was. Really, Really wrong!This is obviously one instance where my frugality got in the way of quality. Mohawk rugs are not expensive and they are definitely miles above in the quality department-- not to mention color and design. While we are on the subject, let me just say that you don't have to go to a special high end store to get a Mohawk product--if I'd have just kept looking in the first place, probably the next aisle over I would have been able to grab one in the first place.
So next time you are shopping for a new rug, whether it a mere bathmat, hall runner or an entire room rug, make sure that you are looking at a Mohawk. It's well worth it and I can't possibly begin to list the myriad of designs, colors and styles they have. just trust me when I say that you will find something to suit your tastes.
Now on to my choice. After much deliberation I chose the Mohawk Home Ink Swirl Cocoa 5' X 8' which retails for $117.
|Before, dark and boring
|After. Amazing Difference!
I adore my new rug and wish I would have discovered the Mohawk long before now. Check out this video about Mohawk Home, still made in the USA! You can see that Mohawk Home is more than just a company, they are like a family.
Now for something that should have you bouncing up and down at your computer. Mohawk is going to give one of my readers their choice of rug! US only up to size 5x8 and a $150 value. How awesome is that?
Now I''m going to give you some ways to connect with Mohawk socially and make sure you do. A) because they are amazing and how else will you keep up with newest news and offers?. B) because it is going to get you extra entries in the giveaway and C) well, if you do and happen to let them know I sent you, fingers crossed that I just might get to work with them again!

At an event in San Francisco, Google today unveiled the next version of Android, and while it doesn't appear to be a major departure from the last, it does bring its share of improvements, including mult-user restricted profiles.
Pricing not available
As the first "affordable" hi-fi streamer, the Pioneer N-30 puts on a good performance, but the controls could be so much easier to use.
Thanks to its stellar performance and affordable price, the Nexus 7 is the Android tablet to get.
For those looking to save a buck, for its low price, the Asus Memo Pad HD 7 has a bevy of useful features, though there are better performing options out there.
It costs a bit more than we'd like, but the Galaxy Tab 3 is Samsung's best non-Note tablet yet.
The Last of Us is brutally realistic, often shocking, but undeniably fun to play. It's easily one of the year's best games and the strongest console exclusive in a long time.
The Philips NP1100/37 lacks the bells and whistles of some other network digital audio players, but it should satisfy those looking for basic streaming on a budget.
Pricing not available
The Philips DVP5960/37 HDMI-upscaling DVD player is an excellent choice for budget-conscious HDTV owners and multimedia aficionados, and its DivX playback is a nice bonus.
Pricing not available
With a fair price, decent performance, and dead-simple setup, the SMC SMCWGBR14-N Barricade N router is about as well-rounded a Draft N router as you'll find. It also boasts impressive range and a smart design. We strongly recommend it for general home use.
The Yamaha EPH-30 Inner Ear Headphones are a fantastic option for anyone on a budget, offering sound quality on par with the sound of sets that cost at least twice as much.

Well these past couple of weeks have seen a lot of change here around Spey Bay! The landscape has had a complete makeover as we felt the side effects of Hurricane Bertha; our sunny skies were suddenly replaced with torrential downpours and the River Spey made a bid for freedom, bursting its banks and even flooding our Icehouse!

For developers, programming for the cloud, especially public clouds, is no simple task
Amazon is responsible for much growth in the number of web servers in Ireland
I wrote a very little code in the 1970s, got paid to write a little more in the 1980s, and have been writing code professionally, ever since 1990. I started with C++ -- self taught -- right when it came out in 1990. C++ was hard language to learn by myself, but I read Stroustrop, Eckel, Booch, Coplien, Meyers, Thielen and more, and these guys were pretty darn good teachers
This month,
we show you how to use Microsoft's TypeScript as a productive superset of JavaScript, how to use OData in Microsoft Web apps, and how continuous testing in the dev cycle will save time and sanity. As always, this is useful, bits under the fingernails, approachable information that you can put to work right away

Cezar Ferreira hasn't fought since he won the middleweight portion of The Ultimate Fighter Brazil 1. It was worth the wait. Mutante was taking on TUF Brazil 2 welterweight and late replacement Thiago Santos, and it turned out to be a total mismatch. Mutante won the bout in just 47 seconds with a guillotine choke.
Ferreira came out with a couple of small leg kicks, then cracked Santos with an overhand right that sent Santos staggering back to the corner he just came out of. Mutante hit him a couple more time, then locked up a guillotine. Santos tried to roll through a couple of times, but Ferreira squeezed and Santos tapped pretty quickly.
Mutante improves to 2-0 in the UFC, while Santos dropped his debut bout. It'd be nice to see Ferreira meet Daniel Sarafian next, since they were supposed to meet in the TUF Brazil finals before Sarafian got hurt. As for Santos, he'll undoubtedly be going back to 170 for his next bout.

Saxton's Garden Center triggers memories of decades-old images with its old-fashioned storefront sign. The faint smell of motor oil is discernable inside, among the neat rows of lawnmowers and snow blowers.
A Michigan business since 1928 and in Plymouth since before 1937, Saxton's will close Oct. 31.
Alan Saxton, an owner, said they decided in September to close the store.
"Money," he said about the reason for closing. "We had a bad winter in terms of sales. And we had a hot and dry summer."
Saxton said he didn't want to close, but those conditions left the store with little income.
After his father, , Saxton said his mother, Valerie, thought closing the store would be an option. His mother and brother Craig are also owners of the store, he said.
Saxton's Farm Supply
"I've worked here on and off since I was about 5 years old," said Saxton, who is 64.
He said his grandfather, Dean Saxton, opened the first store, which sold feed to farmers, in Redford in September, 1928. Saxton's moved to Northville and then Plymouth, near the Mayflower Meeting House.
Saxton said the company moved to the current location when they outgrew the first Plymouth location. His grandfather purchased the building in about 1937 from owners who lost the building during the Depression, Saxton said, and called it Saxton's Farm Supply.
A brick wall inside Saxton's separates the left and ride sides of the store.
"Everything east of the brick wall was the original," Saxton said.
More than feed
Saxton said his grandfather sold Massey-Harris farm tractors in the new location. The store took another turn in the late '40s when they built the addition.
He said his father persuaded his grandfather to change from farm to lawn mowing supplies.
"They were growing more homes around here than growing corn," Saxton said.
Although he lives in Ypsilanti now, Saxton said his family and his grandparents lived above the store for about 25 years.
Closing and customers
"We've had about eight people who would like to buy the property," Saxton said.
He said they've had offers from restaurant owners, investors, retailers and a microbrewery that is interested in leasing.
"If we could sell the building, we'd like to do so," he said.
Before the closing announcement, Saxton said they were making $1,000 to $3,000 per day. After the announcement, he said it jumped to about $3,500 to $5,000 per day.
Ferris Mills, 75, of Plymouth, was in Saxton's to replace his weed wacker line.
"I was born and raised here, so I hate to see it go," he said.

Palo Alto schools not top-performing for Latino, low-income students

Educator is a registered user.
If the Common Core standards are adopted by the State, Algebra I will be primarily taught in 9th grade.
on Jun 6, 2013 at 11:00 am
Thank you Educator - right on the point. Weekly why are you using 8th grade algebra as an indicator since it was also just voted out as an unreasonable expectation.
More relevant is the focus on elementary schools instead of the high schools. By high school it is too late. Elementary schools are really responsible for these statistics.
on Jun 6, 2013 at 11:11 am
Lazy reporting, I think. Of course, this seemingly more important stat was buried 9 paragraphs in: "On a different metric -- preparing Latino students for eligibility for California's four-year public universities -- Palo Alto was near the top, ranking second out of 16 local districts with high schools." Maybe are high-performing for Latino's after all?

The Rock of Cashel, Co. Tipperary. This castle has an unusual story behind it; according to local mythology, St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave in the Devil's bit mountain in North Tipperary, and in his anger, Satan took a bite out of the mountain, spitting out the rock in the place where the castle now sits, in South Tipperary.
Adare Manor in Co. Limerick is now a popular tourist destination, and while it's not classed as a castle, it's one of the most famous historical homes in Ireland, and it's certainly not short of a few bedrooms fit for a king. Adare Manor was built in the early 18th Century as Quin Manor, but was later rebuilt by the 2nd Earl of Dunraven and his wife. The house now operates as the Adare Manor Hotel and is famous for the adjoining golf course.
Bunratty Castle, Co. Clare. In Irish, Caisleán Bhun Raithe, it means "Castle at the Mouth of the Ratty". Bunratty Castle is located in the center of Bunratty Village between Ennis and Limerick near Shannon airport. Alongside the edifice runs the Shannon estuary. The first dwellings on the site date back to the Vikings in 970 as part of a trading camp. The castle was finished by the McNamara family in 1425. It wound up in the hands of the O'Briens 50 years later. The castle is now famous for its medieval banquets, at which the "Bunratty Castle Entertainers" perform.
As the summer nears, we decided to take a look at some of the enchanting castles which are well worth a visit on your summer vacation in Ireland. Some of these are off the beaten track, or not as well known as your typical tourist hotspots, but each has its own amazing history.
Dunguaire Castle at Kinvara in Co. Galway, was built in 1520 by the O'Hynes clan on the picturesque shores of Galway Bay. This restored 16th century tower house sits on a rocky outcrop on the shores of Galway Bay, 300 yards outside the village of Kinvara. It's worth a visit for the amazing views when overlooking the bay.
Kylemore Abbey, Connemara, was originally built as Kylemore Castle in the late 19th Century by Mitchell Henry, a wealthy politician from Manchester. The castle was sold to Benedictine Abbeys in 1920 and has since been run as an abbey for the Benedictine nuns. The Abbey and the estate are open to the public.
Ross Castle, Killarney, was built circa late 15th Century by the O'Donoghue Ross clan. The Castle came into the hands of the Brownes who became the Earls of Kenmare and owned an extensive portion of the lands that are now part of Killarney National Park . Ross Castle was the last stronghold in Munster to hold out against Cromwell. It was eventually taken by General Ludlow in 1652. The castle is open to the public.
Dunluce Castle, Co. Antrim, was built in the 13th Century by Richard Og de Burgh. The first recorded residents of the castle were the McQuillan family in the early 16th Century and later, the McDonnell clan of Antrim. At one point, part of the kitchen next to the cliff face collapsed into the sea, after which the wife of the owner refused to live in the castle any longer. The castle is open to the public today.
Lismore Castle is located in the town of Lismore, Co. Waterford. The site was originally occupied by an abbey in the 600s. Dating back to 1185 the present Gothic look of the castle was built and designed by William Cavendish, 6th Duke of Windsor in the 19th century. The Father of Modern Chemistry, Robert Boyle, was born here in 1627. Lismore served as the residence to Fred Astaire's sister, Adele, who lived there with Lord Charles Cavendish until her death in 1981.The castle still serves as living quarters for the 12th Duke of Cavendish and his son. It houses an art gallery known as Lismore county arts and an impressive array of contemporary sculpture.
King John's Castle in Limerick city can be found on King's Island in Limerick located next to the Shannon River. A Viking settlement was first built on this location in 922. This castle was constructed in 1200 on the orders of King John, Lord of Ireland, The walls, towers, and fortifications remain today. The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster. The ruins are open to visitors and are a very popular tourist attraction today.
Kilkea Castle Kildare is one of Ireland's oldest castles, built in the 12th Century by Hugh de Lacy for one of his Norman noblemen, Walter de Riddelsford. In 1414 the local O'Moores and the O'Dempsey clans were defeated in battle at Kilkea by the Lord Justice Kildare. The castle was rebuilt in 1426 and was later restored in 1849. Kilkea castle is one of the oldest inhabited castles in the country, and was run as hotel after the Fitzgerald clan sold it in the 1960s. The luxury castle hotel went into receivership in 2009 and is now up for rent.

D.A.: No charges to be filed against preschool teacher who tied up 2-year-old

"We conducted a thorough review of the evidence presented and declined to file charges," said D.A.'s Office spokeswoman Teresa Drenick.
Shouldn't this statement include the reason for not filing charges?
on May 1, 2013 at 9:29 am
Teresa Drenick, I'll be the first to say a person is innocent before being proved guilty, but having the DA drop this criminal case is bewildering to me. You have pictures, you have statements from the defendant, you have a victim. What more do you need?? Would the DA have kept the case if the victim had been a 20 year old woman who was tied up and restrained against her will? I don't get it. I'll remember this when the DA is up for re-election.
on May 1, 2013 at 3:37 pm
The evidence presented fell short of any criminal act. That's all.
on May 1, 2013 at 6:23 pm
the fact is, our DA's office only charges the most winnable cases. what case law have you ever heard come out of alameda county? i'll tell you. NONE. it's because our DA will only charge slam dunk cases that are all but assured of not going to trial. plea's are the name of the game.

I am very visual. Give me a picture, and I'll create a cake to capture the feel, flavor (no pun intended), and design of the image. I recently collaborated with Carter and Cook, an event styling company in San Diego, to create a cake for a bridal luncheon photo shoot around this inspiration:
Several artists worked on the shoot: Amy, from the Wedding Chicks, coordinated the project and Jessica Claire took the photographs. Leigh Ann, from The Floral Lab, designed the flowers and Lori, the artist behind Paper and Thread, created the invitations. Ink and Button provided the hair accessories for the shoot.
The team met at Cafe Mimosa in San Clemente, California to scout out the locale and finalize the design concept. We agreed to incorporate some tangerines and buttons into the design.
I love making cakes for photo shoots. I love the freedom to create anything I want within a given design framework and to interpret the concept in whatever way I choose. Here, I created a centerpiece cake and four miniature versions of the centerpiece cake.
I made everything you see on the cake–from the flowers to the buttons to the lemons and kumquats–out of fondant.
And here are some other cute shots.

Servings: 12 servings
Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Difficulty: Easy
1 can refried beans
1 large bag white corn tortilla chips
1 medium onion, chopped
1 can chili (recommended Hormel) or your favorite chili recipe
1 cup shredded Pepper Jack cheese
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 cup green onion, chopped
1 tomato, diced

Keyword research is a fundamental part of achieving pay-per-click [2] and search engine optimization [3] success.
There's little debate among search marketing experts that identifying and optimizing for the specific words that people are typing into search engines [4] is a crucial element of a successful search marketing campaign.
But keyword research is a difficult process. Understanding how to do keyword research and recognize what keywords are worth your focus is essential.
How to Find New Keywords Through Keyword Research
In order to successfully market through search you need learn how to research keywords and:
- Continuously discover quality, targeted new keyword opportunities [6] to gain a competitive advantage.
- Effectively and continuously turn your keyword research into action.
- Make keyword research a supporting piece of your overall search marketing efforts so that your researched keywords actually lead to profits for your business.
So the question becomes: How do you, the search advertiser, go beyond a static list of keywords to create a continuous stream of keyword phrases [7] that improve your bottom line? How do you discover and research keywords that will drive relevant traffic to your business?
The Answer? Use WordStream.
Free Keyword Research Tools
WordStream's Google keyword research tool makes researching profit-driving keywords easy. With WordStream's Keyword Research Suite, you can find new keywords for your business, organize long lists of keywords into workable groups, and even evaluate the performance of your existing keywords with the AdWords keyword research tool.
WordStream's Keyword Research Suite [8] provides customers with three core benefits not offered by traditional search-based keyword [9] products:
- Exclusive Keyword Research - The Keyword Research Suite gives you deep access to WordStream's industry-leading, trillion-keyword database. This gives you the competitive edge of knowing your keywords are more extensive and accurate.
- Keyword Data You Can Act On - Instead of just a list of keywords, our tools give your structured, actionable data, ready to use in search marketing campaigns. You'll be able to organize and put into action insights surrounding your keywords [10] and search queries.
- Keywords When You Need Them - Don't be held back by the limits of web-based keyword research tools. The Keyword Research Suite is a robust toolset designed for full-time search marketers and business owners, and offers virtually unlimited access to our huge keyword database.
Researching keywords can be an arduous task, but WordStream's Google keyword research tools will help you automate the process of discovering new keywords, so you can get more done in less time, without losing control of your keyword research. Finding keywords has never been easier - learn how to find the profit driving keywords you've been missing out on.
We'll talk more about what the WordStream advantage really is and how WordStream's keyword research tools can help you in the coming paragraphs.
Keyword Research Techniques from WordStream
In the past, marketers created keyword lists through a combination of brainstorming, google suggest, and simple online keyword suggestion [11] tools. The problem with this method is that it's limited and it's not actionable. As a keyword researcher, you're using the same tools as everyone else, so you're all fighting for rankings on the same short, static list of terms. And a keyword list doesn't tell you what to do with those keywords once you've got them.
WordStream enables you with smarter, more actionable tools and data to conduct advanced keyword research. You get access to:
- A Keyword Suggestion Tool - Our Keyword Tool [12] pulls suggestions from our massive database of over 1 trillion unique search queries. More, better, faster! Finding new keywords has never been more simple.
- A Keyword Niche Finder - The Keyword Niche Finder [13] returns structured suggestions. Niche keyword research is key to great PPC and SEO campaigns. When your keywords are pre-grouped into related clusters, it's easy to put them to use on your site or other campaigns.
- A Keyword Grouper - Already have a list of keywords? Just drop them into the Keyword Grouper [14] and they'll be automatically and instantly organized.
These tools return extensive, targeted data you can use in your search marketing campaigns, both organic and paid, offering the best keyword research you can find. While using keyword tools is an essential part of any keyword research strategy, these tools will help you become a keyword research pro, guiding the way for keyword research analysis that can boost your business in enormous ways.
What to Do with Your Keyword Research: SEO Content Creation
What's important to understand about keyword research is that a list of keywords, in and of itself, isn't very helpful. To see traffic and profits from those keywords, you need to put them to work in keyword-rich web copy, including product pages and blog posts.
This will ensure that your potential customers can find you through organic search. So how do you close the gap between your research and your writing, and work your keywords into your copy in a way that's SEO-friendly and reader-friendly too?
WordStream's SEO Content Creation Plug-in for Firefox [15] is a content creation tool for writers that connects your keyword research to your SEO copywriting [16] efforts, enabling:
- Easier topic selection: Instead of staring at a blank page waiting for inspiration to strike, get topic ideas by drilling down into keyword niches with high potential search volume.
- More relevant keyword targeting: Keyword suggestions are driven by trends in our highly accurate, proprietary keyword database.
- Stronger keyword optimization: The plug-in helps you uncover your best keyword opportunities [6] and place them in key fields so your pages are maximally Google-friendly.
- Long-tail keyword traffic: Go beyond competitive head terms with long-tail modifiers to capture more traffic over time.
Putting Keyword Research to Work in PPC
Keyword research isn't just useful for organic search engine optimization. It's also crucial for your paid search campaigns.
Google AdWords keyword research is essential to a winning PPC account as you learn how to find profit driving keywords.
If PPC is your focus, check out our fully integrated AdWords management platform, WordStream for PPC [17].

What's difference between internist vet and oncology specialist?by Dr. Stephanie Correa
Question: My dog has been diagnosed with lymphosarcoma, and my veterinarian has referred me to an internal medicine doctor. Can you explain the difference between a doctor who specializes in internal medicine, and a doctor who specializes in oncology? I live in a rural town and there is an internal medicine veterinarian in close proximity to where I live, but not a veterinary oncologist.
Answer: Good question, this can be confusing. A veterinarian who specializes in internal medicine has advanced training in all areas of medicine. This type of specialist evaluates all types of medical diseases such as diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, liver disease, and kidney disease. Since an internal medicine doctor is a medical specialist, they also have some training in oncology, neurology, and cardiology. In many rural areaa, internists routinely treat cancer patients, cardiology patients, and patients with endocrine and gastrointestinal diseases.
An oncologist is a veterinary specialist who has advanced training in oncology, and cancer medicine is the only focus. Because this field is changing so rapidly, and the field is becoming advanced with novel therapies and diagnostic abilities, oncologists focus directly on treating cancer patients.
Even within the specialty of oncology, there are different types of oncologists. For example, there are medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, and surgical oncologists. Medical oncologists are responsible for planning chemotherapy treatments, immunotherapy treatments, and other medical therapies. Radiation oncologists are responsible for radiation treatments, and surgical oncologists are responsible for performing all types of cancer surgeries like mass removals, reconstructive surgeries, and biopsies.
Often, oncologists and internists work hand in hand. If a patient goes to an internal medicine doctor for gastrointestinal symptoms (vomiting and diarrhea) and an endoscopy is performed and a tumor is found, the internal medicine doctor will have the oncologist formulate a treatment plan. The internist diagnoses the cancer and the oncologist treats the cancer.
Or, if a patient is already diagnosed with cancer and receiving chemotherapy treatment from an oncologist, and develops diabetes during the course of chemotherapy treatment, the oncologist would continue to be responsible for the chemotherapy treatment and the management of the cancer, and the internal medicine doctor would treat the diabetes. It is always good to have a team-oriented approach in treating and addressing the needs of the cancer patient.Stephanie Correa, DVM

Former New York Giants receiver Plaxico is expected to be released from jail in June which is about three months early from his two-year sentence. Burress, who was sentenced on weapons charges, will be 34 years old when he gets out but his agent says there are still teams interested in him.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has ruled that Burress would be reinstated and eligible to sign with a team upon completing his sentence. While the league and players are locked in negotiations that have cast a shadow of uncertainty over the sport's next season, Frankel and Burress agent Drew Rosenhaus said several teams had expressed interest in the receiver.
"The future is very bright for Plaxico," Rosenhaus said in an e-mail.
We'll see how many teams are actually interested. The prospects of an NFL lockout could potentially change Burress' plans. If there is a work stoppage late into the summer, teams may be hesitant to sign a 34-year old receiver who hasn't played a down of football in two years.
Burress last played for the Giants and former Giant Michael Strahan says it wouldn't be such a bad idea to re-sign him.

EHS offers two classroom training sessions on hazardous waste management. Hazardous Waste Management Workshop is intended for students and employees who work in laboratory or classroom settings. Hazardous Waste Management for Facilities Workshop is intended for maintenance and repair employees. Classes are generally offered at least once per month, depending on demand. You can register for the appropriate workshop through NetLearning@uidaho.
All employees and students who are identified by their unit administrators as individuals who generate and/or manage hazardous waste shall attend the University Hazardous Waste Management workshop, or other appropriate training approved by the Environmental Health and Safety Office, prior to generating and/or managing hazardous waste at any University facilities. After initial training, this training requirement must be met once every five years.
Always perform a "hazardous waste determination" before disposing of any chemical waste into the trash or down the drain. In general, chemical waste is hazardous if the pH is at or below 2 OR at or above 12.5 (corrosive waste) OR the flashpoint is below 140 degrees Fahrenheit (flammable waste) OR the waste is normally unstable (reactive waste) OR it is toxic. Chemical waste that is not flammable, corrosive or reactive is often managed as toxic.
Hazardous waste management is more thoroughly described in the classroom Hazardous Waste Management workshop, which is mandatory for all hazardous waste handlers.
These are highly toxic materials that are capable of causing or significantly contributing to an increase in serious irreversible or incapacitating illness. For our purposes, they include discarded unused formulations of trichlorophenol, tetrachlorophenol, and pentachlorophenol AND discarded commercial chemical products, including dilutions, that are specifically listed as acute hazardous wastes (also called P-listed chemicals).
You can reuse empty reagent bottles as chemical waste containers, making sure that the container is compatible with the anticipated waste. Or, send an email to email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com and request the type and number of containers you would like.
Chemicals become hazardous waste when someone decides to no longer use them. Label containers as soon as they contain even one drop of an unwanted chemical. Mark the container with the words "HAZARDOUS WASTE" or with words that identify the contents of the container, such as "Waste Sulfuric Acid/Lead."
Submit a request to EHS through our online Chemical Waste Collection Request system. When prompted, be sure to print a collection request label and attach it to the waste container.
First, try to avoid the generation of "unknowns" by labeling all chemical containers. If an unknown container appears, inquire of your co-workers if they may know of the contents. Submit a Chemical Waste Collection Request, listing the constituents as "Unknown." Under Comments, provide as much information as possible, such as color and appearance, pH if applicable, possible constituents, etc.
Sharps include such items as:
Place small, non-contaminated sharps in heavy-wall plastic containers. When full, replace the lid and tape it closed; then put the container in the regular municipal waste. Larger items, such as lab glassware should be placed in a specially-marked box or in a cardboard box that is labeled "Non-Hazardous Broken Glass," sealed, and then put in the municipal waste.
Contaminated sharps should be managed depending on the contaminant. For examples, needles that are chemically-contaminated should be placed in a heavy-wall plastic container, which when full, is submitted through the Chemical Waste Collection Request system.
Do not use red biohazard bags for chemically-contaminated waste. Disinfect the biohazard component by autoclaving or applying a recognized chemical disinfectant; then, manage the sterilized waste as a chemical waste. List the chemical constituents on the hazardous waste label.
If the container held an acute hazardous waste (P-listed chemical), you must triple-rinse the container with an appropriate solvent, collecting each of the rinsates for disposal as hazardous waste. Otherwise, thoroughly empty the container by pouring until dripping stops, or scooping solid chemicals from the container. Use a Magic Marker to obliterate the manufacturer label and mark "EMPTY" on the container. You may wish to place empty containers of liquid chemicals in a fume hood and allow to ventilate overnight. Then, place the containers in a laboratory broken glass box or in a sturdy cardboard box that is marked "Broken Glassware" or "Laboratory Glass." When full, tape the box closed and place directly in a municipal waste dumpster.
Certain hazardous wastes are generated by many, if not most, businesses in the United States. To encourage proper handling of these "Universal Wastes," the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) developed regulations for these materials that are less stringent than other hazardous wastes. The reduced requirements apply to batteries, pesticides, mercury-containing equipment, and lamps that would have otherwise been a hazardous waste.
Newer alkaline and carbon/zinc batteries can be disposed in the normal trash. Most other types of batteries, such as lithium, Ni-Cad, NiMH, Silver-oxide, and sealed lead-acid, are managed as a Universal Waste. Please see the Universal Waste page for additional information.
All fluorescent lights contain a small amount of mercury. A specific list of newer models can be disposed in the normal trash. Other fluorescent light bulbs, including compact fluorescent lights, are managed as a Universal Waste. Please see the Universal Waste page for additional information.
Unbroken mercury thermometers are managed as a Universal Waste. Broken mercury thermometers must be sealed in a plastic bag and submitted for disposal as a hazardous waste. Please see the Universal Waste page for additional information.
Unused, stock supplies of pesticides are typically managed as a Universal Waste. Rinsates should be mixed with the next application. If it is not feasible to spray-out rinsates, collect them for disposal as hazardous waste. Please see the Universal Waste page for additional information.

Arsonists hunted after fire attack on house
4:28pm Monday 7th January 2013 in News
POLICE are appealing for help in tracking down arsonists who tried to set fire to a house occupied by two teenage girls.
The offenders struck at about 12.20am on Sunday when they stuffed a blazing piece of paper through the letterbox of a house in Copper Beech Way, Colburn near Catterick Garrison.
The flames set fire to a curtain before the two girls, in their late teens, were able to extinguish the blaze.
Police are now appealing for members of the public to help them identify the arsonists and want to speak to anyone with any information which could assist the investigation.
Detective Sergeant Angie Went said: "This was a very dangerous and malicious act which put the lives of two young people in extreme danger.
"Luckily they managed to quickly extinguish the flames before any serious damage or injury was caused."
She added: "The perpetrators must be brought to justice and I am appealing for anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious or has any other information which could assist the investigation, to contact us as soon as possible."
Anyone with any information is asked to contact police on 101, select option two and ask for Northallerton CID.
Alternatively contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
