La Bamba Margate
Welcome to La Bamba!
La Bamba Mexican & Spanish Restaurants tell the story of the American Dream.
In the early 1980's, the Molina Family humbly came from El Salvador to the United States with the dream of making a future for the family. In 1988 the hard work, diligence and dedication paid off as the first restaurant seating 58 people opened in Inverrary, Lauderhill employing most of the 12 brothers and sisters of the Molina Family. Today the Restaurant has 5 locations, the largest of which seats 224 people having one brother in the kitchen and one sibling in the dining room of each location. The family grew even stronger as the siblings were able to work together at this first location. Because they are now spread out working at the five different locations, each of the family members have grown to appreciate one another more than ever, since they don't get to see each other every day like in the beginning. This establishment has provided employment for many of the Molina children that enjoy a career in hospitality following in the footsteps of the past generation. It has been the desire of the Molina Family to honor God through these Restaurants as they recognize His hand in making La Bamba what it is today. Together with passionate dedication from the Family, a fantastic hard working staff as well as a loyal, supportive framework of guests, La Bamba Mexican & Spanish Restaurants are a thriving entity providing great food and a fun family atmosphere to the citizens of South Florida.

There used to be two ways to know you were officially old.
The first was when you went from looking at Beyonce and going, "Wow!" to going, "That young 'un ought to put some clothes on."
The second was when you found yourself on your front porch in a yogurt-stained bathrobe, shaking your fist and going, "Hey, you kids. Get off of my lawn!"
If you have no lawn and Beyonce is not your entertainment end-all, I just invented a third way to know you've entered curmudgeonly codgerhood: when you go to the Durham Performing Arts Center to hear one of the great singers of her generation, and she puts on a flawless show – yet you leave the concert feeling angry and disappointed.
And we're talking really ticked off.
Why? Because Natalie Cole did hardly any of the stuff you came to hear. In a nearly 90-minute set last week, Cole sang only two of the songs that made her a pop music queen of the 1970s.
OK, she did three – if you count the macabre duet "Unforgettable" she performed with her late father, which resuscitated her dormant career in 1991.
On the other hand, you could say she only did one of her hits if you discount "Our Love," which she performed under duress as her encore after the unfulfilled audience yelled and stomped for more.
All right, I get it. With all the dire problems in the world today – for instance, a car company has decided to introduce a whole new generation to the musical oeuvre of Michael Bolton in its commercials – complaining about a great singer refusing to sing her greatest hits seems trivial.
Besides, although it is unlikely, I could be wrong. Bob Klaus, general manager of the DPAC, told me that, "We do hear feedback like yours from our guests every so often. With the legendary stars we present at DPAC, it sometimes seems hard for them to fit in all of the hits in a 90 minute to two-hour show."
Yeah, but only two of their hits?
Klaus said all of the comments he's received from the Cole show were laudatory, and the people I saw commenting on Ticketmaster's website about other Cole performances loved them.
They obviously weren't at the same show I attended. You know how hecklers are usually the bane of concertgoers' experience?
The heckler who shattered a quiet moment at Cole's show earned some gratitude, though, when he shouted for her to sing something we actually knew.
Not that it did any good. She dismissed him – graciously, of course – and kept right on singing obscure songs, standards and an overlong tribute to Chaka Khan and singers who've died.
I remember thinking, "I wish she'd do a tribute to the people who paid their money to be here." She didn't even do the Grammy-winning, now-eHarmony song, "This Will Be," and never even looked as though she were considering doing "I'm Catching Hell" – although that's how I felt as she started in on another show tune.
No performer can be blamed for wanting to stretch out her repertoire or shill for her new album, nor can she be blamed for tiring of singing the same old songs night after night.
A world-famous performer who lives in Durham told me Saturday that playing the same thing night after night with no changes can be "torture," and that's understandable. Judging from the responses of people I talked to who were at the show, though, many of them would've stayed home had the promotion for Cole's show included this disclaimer on their tickets: Purchasing this ticket does not guarantee that the performer will sing anything the ticket holder has actually heard before, nor is it refundable if it doesn't make you feel 18 again – which is how old you were when you first heard her.
I may indeed be the old man shaking his fist and yelling at kids to get off his lawn. But how many of you would feel otherwise if, say, you got to the ticket window to buy a ticket to hear Al Green and were informed that he wouldn't perform "Let's Stay Together"; or Beyonce, and she wasn't going to sing whatever it is she sings; or Tony Bennett, and he wouldn't be doing "I Left My Heart in San Francisco"?
Your response would probably be the same as A Tribe Called Quest's and mine: Oops, I left my wallet in El Segundo. I'm outta here, yo.

Multiple law enforcement agencies are investigating a shooting in the parking lot at Tift Regional Hospital.
Three people were injured. We are told that a woman in her mid-twenties was shot twice, but the injuries are non-life threatening.
Witnesses tell WALB that a man shot a U. S. Marshal shot in chest, but the Marshal had on his vest, and that stopped the bullet.
We're told by witnesses that another Marshal was struck by a vehicle driven by the man who was shooting, as he tried to get away. We don't know the extent of his injuries.
Witnesses say the assailant was then arrested by authorities on the scene, and put into a police car.
The GBI and Tift County Sheriff investigators are still on the scene.

In the co-main event at UFC on Fox 8, two top Welterweight contenders meet. Rory MacDonald (14-1 MMA; 5-1 UFC) squares off with Jake Ellenberger (29-6 MMA; 8-2 UFC). This is the third of four main card fights on Fox. The official UFC rankings currently have MacDonald as the #3 contender at Welterweight with Ellenberger just one spot lower at #4. UFC on Fox 8 airs live from Seattle this Saturday, July 27, on Fox with the main card starting at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.
As those close rankings indicate, this is a great, even match-up. Both men come into this fight on the backs of solid wins, and both are on the cusp of the division's highest levels. There's been a bit more trash talk between the two than you would have perhaps expected. Let's see how that translates into the cage Saturday night.
How do these two stack up?
MacDonald: 24 years old | 5'11" | 77" reach
Ellenberger: 28 years old | 5'10" | 73" reach
What have these two done recently?
MacDonald: W - B.J. Penn (UD) | W - Che Mills (TKO) | W - Mike Pyle (TKO)
Ellenberger: W - Nate Marquardt (KO) | W - Jay Hieron (UD) | L - Martin Kampmann (TKO)
How did these two get here?
Rory MacDonald has been picking up more and more hype with every performance. He's been hailed as a future champion for his past few fights, and after his last win - a dominant decision victory over former champion B.J. Penn - that talk only intensified. Two big things stand in MacDonald's way - his propensity for injury (he's spent a lot of time on the shelf in the past few years), and the fact that his teammate GSP stands atop the division. MacDonald clearly has huge potential, but now is the time to realize that potential.
More Bloody Elbow coverage of UFC on Fox 8
Jake Ellenberger had a great run in 2010/2011 with big wins over Diego Sanchez and Jake Shields. He looked right on the verge of a title shot when he was stopped by Kampmann last summer. His comeback fight was a somewhat ho-hum win over Hieron, but his KO of Marquardt earlier this year reminded fans of his title hopes. Ellenberger is the underdog here, but like #1 contender Hendricks, he's the kind of Welterweight with fight stopping power. If he connects on MacDonald, he can end this quickly.
Why should you care?
Like I said, this is a razor close fight between two great talents. I honestly don't know how this plays out, and that is quite exciting to me.

Gove wants teachers to 'get tough' on bad behaviour
12:04pm Sunday 2nd February 2014 in News
Misbehaving pupils face the prospect of being told to pick up litter or write out lines hundreds of times under plans by Education Secretary Michael Gove for a return to traditional classroom discipline.
New guidelines for teachers, to be issued this week, will say that "tough but proportionate" punishments such as writing lines "are just as crucial to an effective education as praising and rewarding good behaviour", the Department for Education (DfE) said.
Penalties could include picking up litter in the playgrounds, weeding, tidying classrooms and removing graffiti. Pupils could also be ordered to report to school early, clean dining halls or forfeit privileges such as joining in a non-uniform day.
Mr Gove, who has long railed against "trendy" teaching methods, said he wanted to send a message to teachers that they should not be afraid to "get tough" on bad behaviour in school.
"I think it is absolutely right to say to students that if they have in some way undermined discipline or contributed to the deterioration of the fabric of a school building that they should be responsible for clearing up after school lunch, clearing up litter or weeding the school playing field," he told BBC1's The Andrew Marr Show.
"People need to understand that there are consequences if they break those rules and teachers have the power to enforce them."
Mr Gove also indicated that in the longer term he favoured moving to a longer school day - although he rejected the idea of shorter school holidays recently put forward by a former No 10 adviser.
"I do think that we do need to have a longer school day. I don't believe that this should be mandated like that from the centre right now," he said.
"I think the critical thing that we need to do is to work with the profession in order to ensure that we can provide the extra curricula activities at the beginning and the end of the day and at lunchtime that students get in private fee-paying schools. One of the things that we need to look at is exactly how it can be delivered appropriately."
The DfE said that while current guidelines on school discipline make clear the legal backing for setting school punishments, they fail to outline potential sanctions, leaving many heads and teachers unclear of what action they can take.
There has been significant progress on improving behaviour since 2010, the DfE added, but a lmost one in three secondary teachers do not feel confident using the powers they have to discipline pupils. Around 700,000 pupils are currently attending schools with behaviour issues, according to Ofsted statistics.
The latest guidelines were dismissed as a "cheap attempt at headline grabbing" by Chris Keates, general secretary of the NASUWT teaching union.
"Given the appalling track record of this coalition Government in supporting teachers, the Secretary of State's claims that he wants to give teachers confidence to tackle pupil indiscipline will have a hollow ring in classrooms across the country," she said.
"The almost daily denigration of teachers' professionalism and competence by coalition ministers and their supporters has undermined teachers' confidence.
"Teachers are increasingly led and managed, not by lead practitioners who understand the day to day realities of teaching, but by those whose only regular contact with the classroom is to drop in on lessons to criticise the teacher and lay the blame for poor pupil behaviour on the teacher rather than the pupil."
Kevin Courtney, deputy general secretary of the National Union of Teachers, said: " It has to be remembered that the majority of our schools have good levels of behaviour and many of the deterrents mentioned, such as litter detention, will already be used in many schools."

Our children do NOT exist for the benefit of the state....unlike China.
Our children do NOT exist for the benefit of the corporate machine.
I would rather have a happy child than a smart one.
If my kids grow up to live on benefit then as long as they are happy, I am happy.
Children are NOT an exam machine.
Take your high pressure teaching techniques and shove 'em where the sun don't shine.

Doing some litter picking or some lines is not going to drive anybody to suicide.
Whilst I appreciate that some bad behaviour is the result of external problems , children must be taught that ill behaviour will have consequences.
I loved fighting when I was at school , I loved smoking pot whilst at school , I was a tear away.
I had a loving family and all the things I needed , I was just a little ****.
Now , I'm glad that my teachers took a firm hand with me and put me on the correct path by using things like lines and detention, and to be fair if somebody had took the soft approach with me I would have laughed in their face.

Cue the social engineers and left wing gove haters resisting all progress
Suicide ? Are we being serious ? What about the kids who want to learn or who are being bullied by out of control feral kids who know they can do as they wish and they are right. And what about the teachers ? Those that want to do a good job that is having their work made ten times harder and sole destroying by having to manage crowd control.
The trendy social engineers and the militant change resisters in education can go and do one.
The more I hear about Michael gove the more I like him and the same goes for the majority of decent people pupils, parents and teachers who want a proper education system.

Pretty much sums up why we have thousands of blighted lives in Britain just as we see in parts of St. Helens. Employers here would prefer to take better educated and disciplined peope from Eastern Europe and so they do and who can blame them?
Who asked for this situation ? And who voted for it ?
Because I don't remember being asked or it being in any of the parties manifestos.
That's because it was not there nor was it ever the politicans intention more the secret self serving education establishment has created this nightmare.

"Employers taking better Educated and disciplined people" nothing to do with they are prepared to do the jobs that our workshy do not want and especially they can be paid less than minimum wage or no wage at all as a recent "Benefits" programme showed- the "agencies" see to that and send their thugs round if they cause trouble.
The problem lies with over 40 years of political interference and rom the current idiot who has littler knowledge of state education but that of Eton and other large fe3e paying schools.
They do have the ultimate sanction of parents being told to take their kid away. Lines?-what sort of punishment is that apart from being a total waste of education time, if they are ever done at all? One contemporary of mine amassed 4000 as they were doubled every time he refused to do them-- he never did. As to picking up litter I thought schools tried to encourage pupils not to drop it. Detention? -You have to inform parents and the more "enlightened" refuse to turn up. Expulsion? Frowned upon and punished by Ofsted-schools should not let kids get into that position. Few schools now expel as it costs a loss of approx.£3,500.
Some may hanker after Corporal Punishment (my preferred option to detention when I was a pupil) as "It never did me any harm" (twitch, twitch) but would result today in the sack and a court appearance. As I have written many times some of you ought to spend a few days in school and you will soon see the problems teachers face and the few sanctions they have.
But who am I to comment? I have only spent 40 years teaching and another 10 as a Governor of 4 schools. The only reason why Gove is right is that it panders to the anti Labour commentators and right wing press. I bow to Sankey's superior knowledge.

In one school (not in St.Helens) whilst riding "shotgun" to a 14 year old who had been excluded from many schools,(he was the "Hmwk never done and never will" what sancytion at that defiance??) I felt like saying to 4 boys, one who I was certain was high on something, "There,s the door, there is the gate just go and carry on walking and don't come back" They had no intention of learning anything. I felt sorry for that young teacher.
I just cannot undersatnd the right wing press and others paying lip service to Gove when Education at private fee-paying schools are worlds apart from the State sector especially on funding and the clientele/parents they attract. Nice small classes of well behaved motivated pupils with the ultimate sanction of "Head of School" (the High Master!) asking them to be taken away-just like that no appeals and no different from me thinking about those 4 boys being pushed out of the school gate never to return. Unfortunately state schools can't do that and they just have to cope,- which most do.

The education establishment is a classic and they are squealing very loud at the moment.

Clear inference that mr silly is a bad man for wanting state schools to have similar standards to public
How terrible ! In any other circumstance that would be your stance and the rest of the lefties but because its gove you react against. And why ?
Because you are your ilk in the powerful teaching unions are against change and improvements as it breaks up the Cosey cartel you and others have enjoyed (and profited from) for years.

A standard meaningless word from Tories.There is SO much research showing that stick is not working. Passion must come from within and replacing it with external motivation is ineffective in the long run.

Nor is it allowing the few in a classroom to disrupt the rest of the kids who want to learn.
Trendy lefty progressive methods were a failure and have consigned at least two generations to the education scrap heap. Time for a change in fact long overdue

I've told before how I worked for KMBC , we were paid 25 pound an hour to work with teens "to naughty" to go to school.
Having been expelled funding was given to us to take them on day trips - Alton towers , mountain biking , exclusive use of gyms - literally thousands maybe more was thrown at the scheme.
Despite our best efforts , out of a group of about 15-20 youths , the majority of them ended up in the jug for drugs and firearm offences.
What a waste of money. The taxpayers money that Labour had no problem throwing about.

Peter Wilby in today's Guardian makes some great points:-
"It is sometimes hard to know whether to take Michael Gove seriously. In a speech in London on Monday, the education secretary said he was aiming to achieve a situation where, if you visit a school in England, "standards are so high all round that you should not be able to tell whether it's in the state sector or a fee-paying independent".
So as parents visited, say, Marlborough College (founded 1843), they would ignore the demand for £27,420 for a year's teaching and nearly another £5,000 for boarding. They would breeze into classrooms and wouldn't notice that, for 870 pupils, Marlborough has more than 150 teachers and assistants, a ratio that, if applied to all England's 8.2 million schoolchildren, would require the teaching workforce to be tripled to roughly 1.3 million. Then they would wander the grounds and somehow fail to clock 11 rugby pitches, eight cricket squares, 14 cricket nets, 12 tennis courts, an eight-lane swimming pool and .22 rifle range, a variety of facilities which, if extended to every state school, would require (according to one calculation) 33m acres, or more than half the English countryside."

And Justice For All wrote:An excellent comment and the real problem that schools face.
A sorry state of affairs that Barry but not suprising, which is the biggest shame of all. We are no longer sensitive to the wasteful exercises in rewarding bad behaviour. Some kids are beyond help because by the time they get to school, the feral behaviour is already entrenched in them. As hard as the school and its' staff try, the positives arent reinforced at home which makes the graft of the school redundant.
Sankey continually either is being perverse or is out of his depth. So all schools to be like Independent and fee paying who are highly selective in both pupils and parents (ability to pay)
We are not comparing like with like. Every teacher in the land would like the settled regime of small classe with well motivated pupils but unfortunately, despite what Gove's "wish list" suggests, highly improbable. I would like every home in the country to have well meaning, well educated and caring parents and most problems will go, away. We are now dealing with 3rd. generation of some pupils whose parents have never had parenting skills and have little interest in Education or what their children get up to or how to behave. Schools rules are not home rules and teachers and schools have to become social workers as well as educators.
I just get tired of Sankey's anti Labour, anti union, anti teacher, anti public sector worker but probabbly he has never been exploited by an employer.
Before the last election I did say to him that I can't wait for his Tory Government who will put everything right. Not had much success have they but at least he can continue for the next few decades of blaming the Brown Government. It saves thinking about real issues and how to address them.

She is looked after by her aunt and uncle, as her parents were unable to cope. At home, her carers are doing their best in almost impossible circumstances, trying to cope with this lovely but very challenging little girl. We are attempting to do the same by trying to keep her in school so that there is a sense of routine for her, familiar people, regularity. And it gives her aunt and uncle a break. We provide for her as best we can, with one-to-one support and as much help for her carers as we can possibly manage. And we'll carry on fighting for help from other agencies, too, for the sake of this child.
My frustration is with the amount of time it takes for referrals to health professionals to go through, whether it's mental health services or paediatricians, and the apparent lack of interest from social services. They constantly bounce referrals back to the school to manage.
It feels awful not being able to provide this little girl's family with the support they really need now – not in six weeks, or six months, or next year.
I've seen many children failed by this system, which is now dysfunctional. They are too traumatised for support; they are not traumatised enough for support. They are "looked after" by family, so aren't eligible for support. In some cases, the family won't accept the support that is offered, usually because they are too scared.
Yet we must support these children and their families in school, and we do. Because if we didn't, the children would have no one fighting their corner, would not have opportunities for a different future. My primary school is set in an area of high deprivation, where many of the adults are illiterate, innumerate and have no aspiration for their children, and where there are generations who have not had a job.
Schools like mine are no longer simply educational establishments. We are health centres, social care hubs, social security and housing advisers, counselling services, parenting practitioners and adult learning facilitators. We also teach children. We provide these services because if we didn't, the children and families would have no hope of breaking out of the cycle of deprivation they find themselves in.
By supporting the children and families emotionally, we enable the children to access learning. We ensure that exclusions are kept to an absolute minimum. We are able, very slowly, to help some of the children to manage the school day without exploding.
I have recently reintegrated a year 4 child whose behaviour was so extreme I seriously considered a permanent exclusion following a long string of serious incidents. The last time I saw him, he was tearing around the school delivering torrents of abuse. He was not responding to anyone – not even his mother, whom he was subjecting to the same stream of foul language.
He seemed to be stuck in a tornado of rage and fury that swept him along, trying to destroy everything in his path: pens, pencils, people. I felt helpless, and it seemed at the time that there was no option other than to exclude him for a fixed term, which I did. I made alternative provision for him so that he would not miss out on any learning.
It didn't work. His behaviour deteriorated there, and when he was back I excluded him again. It felt hopeless. His family circumstances were not helpful and, despite his mum's best efforts to be supportive, she simply didn't know what to do, and neither did I. So I took some thinking time. I was determined not to give up on him, to find a way to get him back on track. We have given him another chance. And he's taking it

To those families who are seeing no appreciable benefit (apart from those paying high taxes), this is what they promised at the last election.
Running up to the next election we will see vast improvements and give aways then when returned to power then we will see the real Tory Government . They will continue making excuses blaming Labour for all their mistakes. It takes a West Country disaster to realise the issue will be lost votes. Hence now quite rightly money will suddenly appear.
At least the washed away SW railway line will please the anti HS2 brigade who say money should be spent on the existing system. God must live in the Chiltern area. I won't see it in my lifetime.

#Tip of the day for journalists: Learn how to find 'hidden' web content
Investigative journalist Colin Meek (who also leads courses in advanced online research skills) has created a visualisation on how to search the 'hidden' web.
Introducing the visualisation, Meek says when training others in research skills, he has found that there is "a lot of confusion about exactly why a lot of web content is 'hidden' from view and why ordinary search engines are not only hopeless at reaching 'hidden web' content they are doing an increasingly poor job of accessing breaking news or 'real-time media".
Follow this link to see Meek's "conceptual description of the four main data sources available to journalists and researchers: the hidden web, the searchable web, people and breaking news".
He includes notes on the best research tools available.

By Michelle Potter, DeKalb Community Service Board
Aaron Taylor of Boy Scout Troop 129 will be awarded his Eagle Scout on February 10.
Aaron chose to complete his Eagle Scout project at the DeKalb Community Service Board's DeKalb Services Center because he is related to one of the clients there and the Troop has a longstanding relationship with the Center. In fact, this is the seventh Eagle Scout project the Troop has completed at this developmental disability day program in Brookhaven.
Staff identified benches as a need and requested that they be small and portable so they can be placed outdoors or inside in classrooms. Aaron created a simple versatile design with pressure treated lumber and built 10 benches with the help of his fellow Scouts.
"It was really nice to be able to help out the Center since they have done so much for Denny over the years," said Aaron.
Aaron's father, Michael Taylor, said the parents at the Center gave a generous $300 donation for the project. That was exactly what Aaron needed thanks to Cofer Brothers for selling the materials at a significant discount.
"Cofer Brothers in Tucker is absolutely amazing for their support of Eagle Scout projects," said Michael, who also serves as Vice-Chairman of the Troop 129 Scout committee.
Aaron is a senior at Parkview High School and has been involved with Scouts since age 8. He is currently co-enrolled in the Maxwell High School where he is taking culinary arts classes. Cooking was the first merit badge he earned, and he hopes to make a career as a chef.

At last night's NEXPO, IDEA CEO, Chris Wolfel announced the joint effort by IDEA and Northeastern's Center for Research Innovation (CRI) to create a Prototype Fund. The fund will help to further advance the entrepreneurial community at Northeastern by assisting individuals or teams in making a prototype for their company.
"The prototype fund is an exciting opportunity to help early stage innovations get to the next level," explained Tracey Dodenhoff, Director of the Center for Research Innovation. "These funds will give awardees the ability to further evolve an idea, enabling innovators to test their concept and gain market feedback, which we believe will result in more start-up ventures."
The fund, which is administered by IDEA and underwritten by CRI, is open to any current Northeastern student as well as any alumni who has graduated within 5 years of the deadline. The Prototype Fund will distribute up to three monthly awards of up to $2,500 to aid in the creation of a prototype.
A judging panel that will include the CEO of IDEA, a representative from CRI, the President of the Northeastern Entrepreneurs Club, an experienced entrepreneur and a Northeastern University professor will evaluate and review the applications.
"The collaboration between the Center for Research Innovation, IDEA, and the Entrepreneurs Club, is tangible evidence of the Northeastern innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystem at work," said Dodenhoff.
For more information about the Prototype Fund or to apply, please visit the IDEA website.

Detectives in Pasco County are hoping someone can identify a man who robbed a Walgreens on Saturday.
It happened at the location at 2480 on U.S. 19 in Holiday around 12:43 a.m. Detectives say the man climbed over the pharmacy counter and grabbed the pharmacist, forcing her then to walk into the medication shelves and give him pills.
It's unclear what
medication he took or how much. Detectives say no weapons were used.
The Pasco County Sheriff's Office says the man left in a silver, late model, four-door car. He could be anywhere between 5-foot-5 and 5-foot-10, 150 to 200 pounds, and he was wearing a white hat, grey shirt, black pants and boots.
If you have any information on the robbery, call the sheriff's office at 1-800-854-2862 ext. 7279.

Oxford graduate perished in Nepal plane crash
10:26am Saturday 29th September 2012 in News
ONE of the seven British tourists who died in a Nepal plane crash was an Oxford University graduate.
Former law student Benjamin Ogden, 27, was killed yesterday when the plane crashed down into a field near the capital Kathmandu at 6.15am local time.
Six other British men were also killed - mountaineer Timothy Oakes, 57, Raymond Eagle, 58, Christopher Davey, 51, Vincent Kelly, 50, Darren Kelly, 45, and Stephen Holding, 60.
The British group, who arrived in Nepal on Wednesday, were due to begin trekking in the Himalayas yesterday.
They were travelling with Hampshire-based travel company Explore Worldwide.
Five Chinese people, three Nepalese passengers and four crew members were also killed, with reports suggesting the accident was caused by a bird strike.

Overhead pressing gets a lot of flack sometimes when its related to increasing your raw bench.
For whatever reason there is information out there that we (Westside) don't do any overhead work either, which isn't true.
The difference may be that we treat overhead work as more of an accessory exercise that is used less frequently. It's not something that is planned, however it is used.
I do find a strong correlation to my shoulders being in good shape and my raw bench going up. However, too much and my shoulders go from being in good shape, to fried and torn apart.
What works for you? A lot of overhead work, none, or somewhere in the middle?
What kind of overhead work? overhead pin presses, standing barbell, seated dumbbell, take your pick.

Big thumbs up. I train it as often as bench, squat, deadlift. Each has their own day, 5/3/1 template. The OHP and deadlift I also feel has a higher correlation of raising those and becoming a better athlete.
I added overhead work in as well as lockouts at the same time (threw them in after speed bench) and my bench has gone up a lot since doing that. I've done lighter weights for sets of 10-20 with a fat bar and it doesn't wear my shoulders out too bad. If I squat heavy with the straight bar before, sometimes I have to 86 it.
I'm opening 15 pounds heavier than my best bench at a meet in 10 days, and honestly think the lockouts have helped more than the shoulder strength.

I have chronically weak shoulders but after doing all overhead work for 10 weeks for my last olympic lifting meet i just hit a small paused raw PR on bench. Second week back benching in general so it seems there's a benefit.

I like the OHP to build power off the chest. What I've noticed is that when I train the OHP hard my bench stalls and I feel "weak". About 4 weeks or so after I back off on the OHP I feel super powerful and explosive.
For me I love the OHP as an off-season builder. I do little to no OHP during a 16 week training cycle.
I like this topic Travis because it is something I have been thinking about as well. I have always been a weak bencher. I realized ~6 weeks ago that I hadn't been doing any OH work in a long time so I decided to add it back in. It's too soon to tell if it will carryover to a 1RM bench yet, but I have noticed my shoulders are getting stronger.
Hey Lones, what type of lockouts have you been doing? Top-end is definitely my biggest weakness on bench.

Matt, that's what I go through as well. If I beat the snot out of them, I seem to go backwards and end up with super sore AC joints lol. But if I hit it just right I get a ton of power off my chest and it makes my benches a lot more smooth.
Anyone do overhead rack lockouts? I've found those in the past to be a great way of getting some mid range OHP work in without getting too stupid.
For the guys who do it every week after their max bench movement, what kind of rep ranges are you doing?

Some sort of overhead pressing gets done every week after my bench work.
With that said, it's just to keep my shoulders healthy so the weights are usually pretty light but the reps are high.
Usually some dumbbell presses overhead do the job but recently I've been doing more Savickas and Klokov ( or however you spell that) presses.....
Meet PR's: 1008-750-750 - 2464
Gym PR's... don't count ... time to do another meet!
I throw them in the mix every other week and rarely hit maxes as they tend to tear up my shoulders. Going to have to try the rack lockouts!

Hey Travis, I think the higher volume DB work would probably be better for me in a meet training cycle.
I don't like Lockouts because they're tough on my joints. I'm becoming less and less a fan of partials. I prefer to train my lockouts with full range movements.
As a total side note, I miss OHP and Pull-ups the most with my biceps rupture.
I've been doing them for a couple of months now, and they seem to have helped my shoulder stability quite a bit.
What are you guys doing for sets/reps? Do you aim for more volume, more eight/less reps, or cycle? I've been cycling heavy one week, more volume the next, as it seems to give my shoulders a break.
I think all the ohp work I did in the past when I was exclusively benching equipped helped. However, now there is no correlation with my raw bench. That's not to say all the work in the past is not making a difference presently.
Supplements I currently take: Nitrean , BCAA , Creatine 500 , Multi-Plus , Fish Oil

"The weak will never understand" - Vincent Dizenzo
What sort of grip width were you guys using?
When I ran SS I was in a shed and had to do them seated. I used a close grip with my index at the edge of the knurling. 3 sets 5 reps.
The only lift I'm proud of at this point is a close stance, ass to grass zercher squat of 170kg x2 at 85kg bw. If only they held zercher squat competitions...
does anyone rate using OHP for max effort work if looking to increase the bench press???

I usually do them once a week. But varying the reps, usually they are higher reps, but rarely I will do a set of 5, sometimes my top set will be 15 reps, sometimes higher. Standing overhead press is the only variation I am currently using. If I overdo it with weight or reps you bet my next bench session will go down dramatically, but it comes back obviously. Same goes for other exercises because I have fairly high frequency although many variations throughout. Overdo 5 rep bench, my ME bench will be a little tougher, just a constant beating never fully recovering till a deload, although my numbers go up on each variation over time, partly why I don't return to the same one for a while.
I can say from recent experience that overhead work has increased my raw press. This is from doing none at all. However my groove is now a little higher it seems, pressing right at the bottom of the chest opposed to the top of the stomach.

Sales Associate Interview
I interviewed in-person. The process took 1 week - interviewed at Nordstrom.
I applied online and went to the store the next day to personally hand in another copy of my resume. I think this helped me a lot because I got to meet with the department manager face-to-face, which is always a leg up (not being just a piece of paper). The process took about a week in total. I was called in for an interview several days later; there was a basic question interview followed by a performance review. I was called in again the next day to talk to the store manager, which included more conversational questions.
- They ask you to come up with several outfits based on a customer profile they invent for you on the spot. View Answer

Sales Associate InterviewApplication Details
I interviewed online. The process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Nordstrom in June 2010.Interview Details
I applied online for a retail position, but in no particular department. I received an e-mail within a few days to set up a phone interview within the week. The phone interview was with that stores HR Manager and about 15 minutes long consisting of generic retail questions - What is good customer service?, Why Nordstrom?, What do you like about retail? At the end of the call we set up a time to interview in person. I interviewed with the HR Manager at the Nordstrom I applied to. Very relaxed interview. a lot of the same type of questions: Best/Worst customer service experience? Do you follow fashion? What is your best/worst quality., Expand on your previous experience. At the end of that interview the HR Manager excused herself to see if the department manager was available (I was still not told at this time what department), she was not so we scheduled a second interview. At the second interview I met with the department manager, a lot of the same type of questions/getting to know you, and also a few regarding specifics to her department. I had previous experience with fitting suits, and outerwear so I was placed in Studio/Narrative and Coats (in season), though I did not apply for this specifically. During the interview the department manager did a role play exercise involving me trying to help/sell her a specific blouse. I honestly did terribly, but told her that I was a quick learn and would take and apply any sales advice. I left the interview not feeling exceptionally confident, but the department manager called me within several days offering me the position.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI did not negotiate. They offered me a high (for retail) base starting hourly salary because of my experience, and was told that it was expected that I would eventually be making more per hour with commission.
- Role playing exercise trying to sell specific products. View Answer
If your commission for the day figures out to be higher per hour than your base salary that will be your hourly salary for that day, if it lower then they use your base hourly salary - so you will never earn lower than your base salary per hour.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

Placer County is updating the Housing Element of the County General Plan. The Housing Element is the portion of the General Plan that sets out the goals, policies and implementation programs for the planning and development of housing throughout the county. Once adopted, the revised Housing Element will be in effect until 2021. California law requires that the Element be completed by the County and reviewed and certified by the state by October 2013.
To give the public and other interested parties an opportunity to offer input, there will be a public workshop to assess the housing needs in the unincorporated areas of the county. The County will gather input from the workshop and incorporate it into the final version of the Housing Element.
The updating of the Element will be overseen by the Placer County Planning Services Division and will be a collaborative effort between residents, policy makers, housing developers, special-needs interest groups and other Placer County departments. The goal of the update is to produce a balanced and responsive Housing Element that meets statutory requirements, addresses public concerns, fits within the overall General Plan and can be a working document.
"The updating of the County's Housing Element provides a great opportunity for residents to get involved in shaping how the County meets its ongoing housing demands," said Michael Johnson, Community Development Resource Agency Director for Placer County. "This workshop will be the first of many chances the public will have to participate in this very important process."
Planning staff will explain the process for the update and will accept public comment on October 25, 2012 from 9 until 10:30 am at the Community Development Resource Center, 3091 County Center Drive, DeWitt Center, Auburn.
For additional information about the workshop, please contact:
Senior Planner Christopher Schmidt, (530) 745-3076, email@example.com or
Housing Specialist Cathy Donovan, (530) 745-3170, email@example.com

I'm going to be in Fremont for a couple weeks on a business trip, and will have the weekend of February 9-10th open. I'd love to get out climbing while I'm down there. I will have a car, and can do the driving, and personal climbing gear (e.g. harness, shoes, ATC), but nothing further. I climb up to around the 5.10 range (depending on the area and grading; have on-sighted 5.10a sport at Red Rocks, 5.8 trad at Red Rocks, 5.7 trad at JTree; TRed 5.10c at Red Rocks with some hang-dogging). Also looking for potential evening gym partners during the week before/after. Anyone interested in taking a visiting Canadian out for a day or two of climbing?

Ban on 'Partial Birth' Abortion Upheld
Posted Apr 18, 2007 11:11 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
The U.S. Supreme Court has for the first time upheld a ban on so-called partial birth abortions in a 5-4 decision, SCOTUSblog reports. Justice Anthony M. Kennedy wrote the majority opinion.
Kennedy wrote that the law should be upheld as written, but "as-applied" challenges could still be brought. The decision is Gonzales v. Carhart, No. 05-380 (PDF from SCOTUSblog).
Bloomberg News reports that the case marks a more receptive approach to abortion restrictions by the court.
The ABA Journal reported in a November 2006 article that the Supreme Court struck down a nearly identical ban in Stenberg v. Carhart, 530 U.S. 914. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, now retired, was in the majority.
At that time the court said banning such abortions "could endanger women's health." Congress then held hearings to refute that conclusion and passed the new law.
U.S. Solicitor General Paul Clement had argued in favor of the law, saying legislatures are entitled to deference in evaluating medical issues.
O'Connor's replacement was Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., who voted with the majority in today's ruling.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg called the decision "alarming" in a statement she read for the dissenters, according to scotusblog. "For the first time since Roe [v. Wade], the court blesses a prohibition with no exception safeguarding a woman's health," she wrote in her dissent.
Six federal courts had ruled that the abortion restriction was unconstitutional, the Associated Press reports.

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- East Peoria Police are asking for the public's help in locating two people of interest in the city's first homicide in 5 years.
Police are seeking Carlton Neely and James "Snoop" Johnson, both are 21 years old.
Neely and Johnson are suspects in Wednesday's double shooting in the 200 block of Elm street in East Peoria. That shooting left 21-year-old Justin Siebenthal dead and another man injured.
Thursday afternoon police recovered a car they thought the two men were using.
When they found the car, they took one woman into custody, but aren't explaining why.
Carlton Neely is 6 feet tall and weighs 175 pounds. James Johnson is 5' 9" and 140 pounds. Both men are considered armed and dangerous.
Anyone with information about the whereabouts of the two men should contact East Peoria police at (309) 698-4700.
