The Assistant Principal at Coelho Middle School
has been suspended for five days without pay and will be demoted for her role in
a situation that involved students being denied lunch or told to throw out their
Assistant Principal Susan Fortin will revert to the position
of teacher with Attleboro Public Schools and will serve as a substitute teacher
until a permanent teaching position becomes available.
Superintendent Pia Durkin said the decision was made after
conducting several interviews regarding the April 2 situation. On April 2 up to
40 students were denied lunch or told to throw out their lunch by staff members
of Whitson's Culinary Group after it was revealed they had past due accounts.
"I have concluded that the Attleboro administrator, whose oversight of
the lunchroom was her responsibility, did not question the decisions that the Whitsons
staff made that day nor did she exercise good judgment on behalf of the students
she charged to care for. She did not stop those decisions from being carried out
and announced to students that they would not be able to charge lunch that day,
leading many students to be denied lunch. Her allowing the situation to continue
for four lunch periods is totally unacceptable to me. Further misjudgment occurred
when standard protocol was not followed in not notifying the Principal of the building
as to what occurred in the lunchroom."
The Superintendent said this action will conclude the investigation
into the incident.
After the incident Whitson's Culinary Group apologized for the
actions of its staff saying they were firing 4 people, re-training employees and
would offer students free lunches for three days.

Thirdly, the submitted report from Dublin-based Tom Duffy Architects is an exposition in student internet copy and paste at its best. It is disheartening to say the least to read one's own internet material on O'Connell Street being churned back verbatim in an exercise promoting the grubby interests of non-compliant convenience stores. The report doesn't even relate how the proposed seating will impact on the Victorian double-plot facade of the impressive former Royal Bank, instead listing the likes of interior elements and even the roof with the remarkable observation of 'no impact' – eventually arriving at the insightful conclusion that on-street seating does not impact on historic fabric, without so much as a description of the architectural character of the building nor the potential streetscape visual impact.

17 Reasons Youre Not Losing Weight - By Mark Sisson
Effective, healthy weight loss isnt only due to the simplistic calories in, calories out paradigm. Nor is it solely reliant on diet and exercise. Its everything its all the various signals our body receives from the environment that affect how our genes express themselves and thrive. How we approach the subject matters, too. Our mood, our methods, our temperament. Our conscious decisions and our willpower. Its setting good habits and expunging bad ones. Most of all, it comes down to keeping our genes happy by providing an environment that approximates evolutionary precedent.
1. You think youre eating healthy, but arent. This is ME!
Does your diet consist of a massive amount of products? Low-carb or not, you want to eat real food. Flagons of diet soda, plates of pure fiber in the shape of noodles, and loaves of 1g net carb bread do not a Primal eating plan make. Youre just feeding an addiction and consuming empty calories sound familiar? Disregard the labels and look inside for what you know to be true: this crap isnt food, and you shouldnt be eating it. Its about way more than just low-carb.
2. Youre under too much stress.
The stress response system is subconscious; it responds to stimuli and nothing else. Emotional stress, physical stress, financial stress, relationship stress I hesitate to even make these distinctions, because the body does not differentiate between sources of stress. They all cause the body to produce cortisol, the fight-or-flight hormone that catabolizes muscle, worsens insulin resistance, and promotes the storage of fat. For 200,000 years, stress meant a life or death situation. It was intense and infrequent, and the cortisol release was arresting and extreme enough to improve the chances of survival. Today, our body responds to a stack of paperwork the same way. Traffic jams are like rival war bands. A nagging boss is like a rampaging mastodon, only on a daily basis. Take a step back from your life and take stock of your stress levels they may be holding you back.
3. You need to watch your carb intake.
Carbs are key, as always, especially when youve got weight to lose. Veer closer to the bottom of the curve, taking care to avoid all processed food (hidden sugars). You might also try skipping fruit.
4. Youre adding muscle.
I always tell people not to get hung up on the scales so much. Those things are useful dont get me wrong but they never tell the whole story, like whether or not youre adding lean mass. The PB will spur fat loss, but it also promotes muscle gain and better bone density. If youre feeling good but failing to see any improvements register on the scales measurements, its most likely extra muscle and stronger bone from resistance training. You wouldnt know that just from the bathroom scale. If you absolutely need objective records of your progress, get a body fat percentage test (although these might not even tell the whole story) or try measuring your waist.
5. Youre not active enough.
Are you Moving Frequently at a Slow Pace for three to five hours every week? Remember: the near-daily low-level (between 55-75% max heart rate) movement should be the bedrock of your fitness regimen. Its easy to do (because every bit of movement counts) and it doesnt dip into your glycogen reserves (making it a pure fat burner, not a sugar burner). If youre on the low end of the spectrum, crank it up toward five weekly hours and beyond.
6. Youre lapsing into Chronic Cardio.
Of course, you can go too far with the low-level movement you can begin to lapse into Chronic Cardio. When you stay above 75% of your maximum heart rate for extended periods of time, youre burning glycogen. Your body in turn craves even more sugar to replenish the lost stores, so you polish off a heap of carbs, preferably simple and fast-acting. You can continue down this route if you wish I did, for a couple decades but youll gain weight, lose muscle, release more cortisol, and compromise any progress you might have made.
7. You still havent tried IF.
Results vary, but if youve seemingly tried everything else, intermittent fasting can be a great tool to break through a weight loss plateau. Make sure youve fully transitioned onto a Primal eating plan and start small. Skip breakfast and eat a late lunch. If that feels okay, skip breakfast and lunch the next time. Just take it slow and pay attention to your hunger. Eventually, try exercising in a fasted state to maximize the metabolic advantage. If all goes well, your hunger wont necessarily disappear, but itll change. A successful IF tames hunger, makes it less insistent and demanding.
8. Youre eating too much.
Low-carb isnt magic. It reins in wild hunger and tames insulin, but calories do still matter especially once you approach your ideal weight. In fact, those last few pounds often dont respond to the same stuff that worked so well to get you to this point. Eating nut butter by the spoonful and hunks of cheese without regard for caloric content may have gotten you this far, but youve got to tighten things up if things arent working. And thats the real test, isnt it? There is a metabolic advantage to eating according to the PB, but if the weight isnt coming off, somethings up and calories may need to come down.
9. You havent overcome bad habits or developed good ones.
Be brutally honest with yourself. Do you engage in bad habits? If so, identify them. Make tentative, loose plans to disengage from their clutches, and tell people close to you. Make it public, so you cant back out without losing face. Youve also got to develop good ones. Follow roughly similar guidelines as when kicking a bad habit identification, planning, publication and youll be on your way.
10. You havent purged and Primalized your pantry.Yup still need to do this one
Out of sight, out of mind; out of reach, out of mouth. Keep the crappy junk food out of your pantry, if not out of your house altogether. Go down the list and toss the stuff that doesnt apply. As for the rest of your kitchen, check out the fridge interiors and grocery lists of some other Primal folks for inspiration.
11. Youve reached a healthy homeostasis.
It may be that your body has reached its ideal weight its effective, genetic set point. Reaching this level is generally painless and effortless, but it wont necessarily correspond to your desired level of leanness. Women, especially, tend to achieve healthy homeostasis at higher body fat levels. Breaking through plateaus can be hard enough, but plateaus ordained by the body itself can be nearly impossible. Its probably going to take some serious tinkering with carbs, calories, activity levels, sleep, and stress. If everything else is on point and accounted for, you may be looking at healthy homeostasis. Then, the question becomes: do you want to mess with a good thing?
12. Youre low on willpower.
Willpower is like a muscle. It must be used or it will atrophy. Youve also got to provide fuel for your will little victories to start out. Go for a walk if you cant muster the will for the gym. Take note that willpower, or lack thereof, might actually be an indicator of your bodys needs. If you truly cant muster up the will for the gym, it may be that your body needs to recover. When thats the case, overtraining is a bigger danger than lack of will.
13. Youre full of excuses.
If you find yourself having mini self-contained internal arguments throughout the day (and you lose), or (even worse) lying to yourself about what youre eating and doing, youre probably also full of excuses. Read this, maybe twice, then follow up with this.
14. You havent actually gone Primal!
We get a good number of new readers on a regular basis, and not all of them take instantly to the Primal concepts. And yet they come back. They read the archives, the comments. Something draws them near, while at the same time keeping them at arms length. Why is that? Whats stopping them? If that describes you, what are you waiting for? Take the plunge. Go Primal for 30 days and see how you like it. I assure you; the many enthusiastic community members are here because it works.
15. Youre not getting enough sleep.
Chronic levels of sleep deprivation cause the release of cortisol, our old fat-storing friend. The biggest spike in (fat-burning, anabolic) growth hormone plasma levels occurs in deep sleep. And a recent sleep study showed that truncated sleep patterns are linked to weight gain. Get seven to eight hours of sleep a night.
16. You havent given it enough time.
The Primal Blueprint is a fat loss hack, undoubtedly, but it isnt always a shortcut. Some people get instant results from dropping carbs, grains, sugar, and vegetable oils, while others have to take a month to get acclimated and only then does the weight begin to slide off. Either way, though, this is a lifestyle. Youre in it for the long run. Approach it with the right mindset and you wont get discouraged.
17. Youre eating too much dairy.
Some people just react poorly to dairy. We see this time and time again listed in the forums; dairy just seems to cause major stalls in fat loss for a good number of folks. There are a couple speculative reasons for this. One, folks coming from a strict paleo background may not be acclimated to the more relaxed Primal stance on dairy. Reintroducing any food into the diet after a period of restriction can have unintended consequences on body composition. Two, dairy is insulinogenic, which is why its a popular post-workout refueling tool for athletes. Does a non-strength training PBer need to drink a few glasses of milk every day? Probably (definitely) not.
Bonus Reason: Sprinting is not part of your fitness routine.
Ive found that many assume that theyre getting everything they need from their workouts from plenty of low level aerobic activity and a couple of strength training sessions each week. Sprinting is often overlooked, but its one of the Primal Blueprint Laws for a reason. Nothing shreds you up faster than sprinting. Id ease into sprints if youve never done them or are extremely out of shape or overweight. That is, I recommend you have some measure of fitness aptitude before you jump into a routine. But once youre ready do 6-8 all out sprints (with short breaks between) once a week to break a weight loss plateau when all other attempts have failed.
Am I missing any other reasons? If youve successfully surmounted a stall in your fat loss, what was the ultimate explanation? Let everyone know in the comment board!

I think this reason for not losing is thrown around WAY too much. I have been around the iron game for a solid 3 decades off and on, and I am a Certified Personal Trainer (not active).
If someone is actually trying to lose weight, there has to be some sort of calorie deficit. It is very difficult to gain muscle period, let alone in a calorie deprived state. It's damn near impossible, even for a beginner if they aren't eating enough calories. If someone is following a low-carb, reduced calorie plan to specifically lose weight, one should expect a loss of roughly 1 lb. a week on average. If someone goes 3 weeks without a loss, there is no way that person gained 3 pounds of muscle in that time frame, so the problem is somewhere else. There, I feel better

Network Partners With White House Correspondents' Association To Produce Video Celebrating Its 100th Anniversary; Participants include President Obama and President Clinton
New York, April 28, 2014 – HISTORY will unite with the White House Correspondents' Association to produce a special video commemorating the centennial celebration of the organization that represents the White House Press Corps. A screening of the video, created and produced by HISTORY, will be among the highlights of the evening during the WHCA's annual White House Correspondents' Association Dinner, to be held on Saturday, May 3, 7:30 pm.
{ You can watch the video on our HISTORY page }
The video chronicles the origin of the WHCA in 1914 and its evolution during the last 100 years. It will examine how today's journalists on this historic assignment share the spirit of the WHCA's earliest members, still tirelessly pushing for access to the President and members of the administration amid the challenges of a modern media landscape. The annual dinner, which dates back to 1921 and now itself merits extensive news coverage, is traditionally attended by the President and First Lady, as well as many other senior government officials and members of the press corps. Joel McHale, star of the NBC series Community, will be the entertainer headlining this year's event.
"I'm thrilled that A+E Networks and the History Channel have partnered with the WHCA to generously create and produce a very special video to mark our centennial celebration," WHCA President Steven Thomma said. "Our annual dinner always includes a lot of laughs and often features entertaining videos. But as we looked ahead to our 100th year, I wanted something different and couldn't think of a better partner than the History Channel to bring this vision to life. With our experience at the White House and their deep experience and creativity working with historical content, we've worked together to tell the story of the Association, including its regrettable chapters and its proud principles. The video will be a very special part of the dinner."
Interviews with President Obama, President Clinton, key historians, press secretaries such as Marlin Fitzwater, Mike McCurry, Dana Perino and the dinner's past and current celebrity hosts will demonstrate how the Association has expanded its activities since its inception. At the core of the WHCA, meanwhile, is the same commitment to maintaining independent news coverage of the President and to nurturing the next generation of journalistic excellence through its scholarship program.
"It's an honor for HISTORY to be able to work with the White House Correspondents' Association on this most significant project," said Nancy Dubuc, President and CEO, A+E Networks. "We often point out that history is in our DNA. But being entrusted to tell the official story of this celebrated organization, which itself has documented the country's great political stories of the past century, reaffirms that we've been doing our job well and that others have taken notice. We couldn't be more excited about forming this special partnership."

2014 White House Correspondents' Association℠ Journalism Awards
APRIL 7, 2014 The White House Correspondents' Association today announces the winners of its journalism awards. The awards will be presented at the annual dinner of the association on Saturday, May 3.
The judges chose two winners this year for Aldo Beckman Memorial Award, which recognizes repeated excellence in White House coverage. They are Glenn Thrush of Politico and Brianna Keilar of CNN.
The judges of the Merriman Smith Memorial Award, which recognizes deadline work in both print and broadcast, honored Peter Baker of the New York Times and Peter Maer of CBS.
And the judges of the Edgar A. Poe Award, which recognizes coverage of news of national or regional significance, chose two winners. They are Megan Twohey and a team at Reuters, and a joint work by The Center for Public Integrity in partnership with ABC News. An Honorable mention goes to The Seattle Times and reporter Craig Welch and photographer Steve Ringman.
The award this year is given equally to two entries, Glenn Thrush of Politico and Brianna Keilar of CNN.
From the judges:
Glenn Thrush's "Locked in the Cabinet"
is an incisive piece of journalism that prompts some remarkable and candid admissions from Obama confidantes and takes us deep inside the process to better understand how Obama governs and manages. It is brilliantly written and utterly compelling. Thrush's description of the administration's "lurching, improvisational character" sheds light on both the process and the problems this administration has confronted. It even gives us a history lesson of the origins of the political term "cabinet." This is a powerful and well-constructed piece of narrative journalism that provides information interpretation and perspective.
Brianna Keilar's excellent, detailed and utterly approachable reporting sheds light on many of the specifics that have led to the political debacle of the affordable care act. Several stories revolve around information or documents obtained exclusively by CNN. The material is presented with compelling clarity, vivid production values and rock-solid documentation. These stories provide a vital narrative and understanding as they unfold over time. In every way––reporting, writing, presentation and production––these stories contribute context and understanding and demonstrate both breaking news and enterprise excellence.
The award is given in a print and broadcast category
From the judges:
Print: Peter Baker, The New York Times
"Obama Seeks Approval by Congress for Strike in Syria"
Aug. 31, 2013
Peter Baker's breaking coverage of the White House's sudden shift on what was expected to be a day of military strikes against Syria was, in the words of one judge, "well-reported, insightful, informative, thorough and all done under deadline pressure." As the story continued to shift under his feet, Baker drew on his wealth of sources to deliver comprehensive coverage that managed to deliver historical context along with up-to-the-minute developments and political reaction to the news. The depth of that reporting resulted in a story that took readers from White House inner circles to Capitol Hill and beyond, and gave them historical context as well as a look at what might happen next. It is an outstanding piece of deadline work.
Broadcast: Peter Maer, CBS News
Feb. 26, 2013
Peter Maer's story on the potential impact of budget sequestration did what White House reporters too rarely do: It humanized a national political story, and managed to do so on an extremely tight deadline, no less. Maer's initiative took what could have been tossed off as just another speech story and instead put a complex issue in context, through his use of distinctive new voices and his own background knowledge of the story. He gives listeners a piece that is concise without shortchanging any of the issues or emotions. Richly detailed, good storytelling all around on an important breaking news story.
The award is given equally to two entries: Megan Twohey of Reuters and The Center for Public Integrity in partnership with ABC News.
From the judges:
"The Child Exchange: Inside America's Underground Market for Adopted Children," by Megan Twohey
This chilling and thoroughly reported project raised awareness of a significant problem that most Americans had never heard of before: adoptions gone awry, and the fallout from what happens to the children afterward. The team broke new ground, creating databases and mining social media bulletin boards to show how adopted children--often from overseas--can be handed off to strangers with little if any government oversight or regulation, often with tragic consequences. For unveiling the dark side of the informal and damaging practice known as "private re-homing," Megan Twohey and the team at Reuters share the Poe award.
"Breathless and Burdened: Dying from black lung, buried by law and medicine," The Center for Public Integrity, in partnership with ABC News.
This team showed how a true collaboration between media partners can break significant new ground on an already well-reported story, in this case the destructiveness of coal mining and the "black lung" that miners have suffered from for many decades. In their yearlong investigation, CPI's Chris Hamby and ABC's Matthew Mosk and Brian Ross examined how big-name doctors and lawyers, working at the behest of the coal industry, have helped defeat the benefits claims of miners sick and dying of black lung. And they showed how this was occurring even as disease rates are on the rise and an increasing number of miners are turning to a system that was supposed to help them.
Honorable Mention:
The Seattle Times and reporter Craig Welch and photographer Steve Ringman.
This pair spent months, traveling from Alaska in the North Pacific to Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific to detail what is at stake as ocean chemistry changes. They examined hundreds of peer-reviewed studies, interviewed 150 people around the world and even learned to deep-sea dive to document how the world's oceans are essentially being poisoned, and the risks that poses to marine sea life and the entire global eco-system.

It is outrageous that the Saudi government has refused to allow a White House reporter entry to the country to cover this week's visit of President Barack Obama.
Michael Wilner, who covers the White House for the Jerusalem Post, had signed up to cover the visit and sought a visa along with the rest of the White House Press corps.
On Monday, he was the only one denied a visa. He had planned to travel straight to Saudi Arabia to cover that part of the president's trip.
The denial is an affront not only to this journalist, but to the entire White House press corps and to the principle of freedom of the press that we hold so dear.
The White House also protested the denial.
"We are deeply disappointed that this credible journalist was denied a visa," said Bernadette Meehan, a spokesperson for the National Security Council. "We will continue to register our serious concerns about this unfortunate decision."
The Post reported that the Saudi government refused entry to Wilner, "despite firmly-worded requests from US National Security Advisor Susan Rice and assistant to the president Tony Blinken to Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the US, Adel bin Ahmed Al-Jubeir….
"Rice and Blinken separately expressed extreme displeasure at the delay and the prospect of a denial, The Jerusalem Posthas learned. Members of the National Security Council were made aware of the matter after US officials coordinating the trip failed to reach their Saudi counterparts."
Wilner is an associate member of the White House Correspondents' Association, which represents the White House press corps.
-- Steve Thomma and the board of the WHCA
In 1913 , President Wilson threatened to do away with presidential news conferences after complaining that "certain evening newspapers" quoted remarks he considered off the record.
A band of White House correspondents got together, agreed on a code of professional conduct and convinced the president to relent – for the time being, anyway.
Six months later, in January 1914, there was another flap over coverage of a Wilson press conference. This time, the regulars in the press corps responded by forming a group they called the White House Correspondents' Association. The original mission was to keep Wilson from ending his press conferences. In the 100 years since that founding in February of 1914, the group has expanded its mission to pushing for broader access to the White House and supporting vigorous reporting on the presidency.

WASHINGTON - The White House Correspondents' Association℠ is pleased to announce that Joel McHale, star of the
NBC series Community, will be the entertainer at the association's Centennial dinner on Saturday, May 3, 2014.
"We're thrilled that Joel will headline the dinner when we celebrate our centennial," said WHCA President Steven Thomma. "
He's sharp, funny, and just the type of comic who can navigate the unique challenge of our dinner, making fun of Democrats, Republicans and especially the news media. Washington can use a little good-natured ribbing."
McHale is a star of the NBC series Community, now in its 5th season. He also satirizes pop culture and current events as the host of E!'s The Soup. He's appeared in movies as well, and recently finished work on the forthcoming thriller Deliver Us From Evil produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
Founded in 1914 to represent the White House press corps, the association marks its centennial this year. It works to maintain independent news media coverage of the president, advocating for access, handling logistics for pools of reporters who stay close to the president and those who travel with him, and providing scholarships to journalism students.
The annual dinner is traditionally attended by the President and First Lady as well as many other senior government officials and members of the press corps. Proceeds from the dinner go toward scholarships for aspiring journalists and awards recognizing excellence in the profession.

This year, the White House Correspondents' Association marks the 100th anniversary of its 1914 founding to advocate for reporters on that historic assignment. The group has grown and expanded its activities, in 1920 launching a spring dinner that now merits news coverage along with a yearly appearance by the sitting president.
The journalists of today's WHCA share the spirit of those early forerunners, pushing for access to the president and members of the administration amid the challenges of a modern media landscape.
As the association marks its anniversary this year, veteran White House reporters, political journalists and scholars will chart the story of that evolving group of professionals in a series of blog posts on this website. The year-long series is being produced in cooperation with the White House Historical Association.
As we begin to celebrate this milestone, we are looking for anecdotes, pictures or memorabilia from past dinners and past Association events. If you have something you'd like to share, please let us know.

The White House Correspondents' Association today joins dozens of news associations and media outlets in protesting White House policies that ban photojournalists from covering the president at certain events while releasing government photos and videos of the same events.
"Journalists are routinely being denied the right to photograph or videotape the President while he is performing his official duties," the WHCA and other news organizations said in a letter Thursday to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
"As surely as if they were placing a hand over a journalist's camera lens, officials in this administration are blocking the public from having an independent view of important functions of the Executive Branch of government."
The letter, also signed by such groups as the American Society of News Editors, the Associated Press Media Editors and the White House News Photographers Association as well as individual media outlets, notes that the White House has argued that certain events with the president are private and should not be opened to the news media.
However, in instance after instance, the White House has proved that claim false by allowing its own photographers and videographers into the same events and then releasing those photos or videos to a nationwide audience.
"You are, in effect, replacing independent photojournalism with visual press releases," the groups said in the letter.
The practice is a troubling break from tradition, and belies the president's vow to be more transparent."The right of journalists to gather the news is most critical when covering government officials acting in their official capacities," the letter said.
"Previous administrations have recognized this, and have granted press access to visually cover precisely these types of events, thus creating government transparency. It is clear that the restrictions imposed by your office on photographers undercuts the President's stated desire to continue and broaden that tradition. To exclude the press from these functions is a major break from how previous administrations have worked with the press."
The groups asked for a meeting to make the case face to face for a change in policy.
The White House Correspondents' Association represents the White House press corps. It will mark its 100th year next year.

An overflow crowd of hundreds packed the Capitol Hill Presbyterian Church in Washington on Tuesday (Nov. 19) to remember and celebrate the life of Sara Fritz, a former WHCA president (1985) who died on Oct. 16, 2013.
The turnout was an astonishing manifestation of the depth and breathe of the admiration, respect and affection Sara commanded well beyond the clubby world of Washington journalism.
Below is a sampling of obituaries about Sara. As well, her family published, and distributed at her memorial service, a 20-day compendium of tributes written by friends, family and colleagues. Electronic copies are available by request.

WASHINGTON--Ryan Lizza of the New Yorker is this year's winner of the White House Correspondents Association award for journalistic excellence in covering the presidency.
Julie Pace of the Associated Press and Terry Moran of ABC have won the association's awards for White House news coverage under deadline pressure, and the Center for Public Integrity is recognized for its coverage of issues of national importance.
The annual WHCA prizes honor outstanding performance by White House correspondents and other national journalists each year. The prizes and their cash awards will be given out at the association's annual dinner on Saturday, April 27.
Selected by a panel of judges organized by the Medill School of Journalism, the winning candidates this year demonstrated excellence under deadline pressure and in the kind of in-depth reporting at risk in an era of media cost-cutting.
"One of our central missions continues to be holding government officials accountable," WHCA President Ed Henry said. "I'm thrilled that all of these terrific journalists will be honored at our dinner this month."
In awarding the Aldo Beckman Award to Lizza, the panel of judges noted his "remarkable efforts to provide an independent perspective" on President Obama's presidency and re-election.
"Deep reporting, both through documents and personal interviews, moves these stories beyond the cacophony of a campaign year," the judges said. Besides being an excellent reporter, they said, Lizza is "a thoughtful, cogent writer. He has a keen ability to take his readers inside decisions and weave a compelling narrative, something he has done for more than a decade covering the White House."
The Beckman award is named for the award-winning Chicago Tribune correspondent and former WHCA president. Funded by the Tribune, the award has a cash prize of $1,000.
The Merriman Smith Award for a print journalist goes to Pace, who was recently named to lead the AP White House team. The judges noted her next-day story reporting Obama's reelection, saying that it "provided a detailed, nuanced explanation of how the Obama campaign had mobilized a sophisticated get-out-the- vote offensive to create a winning strategy that surprised many analysts in its scope."
"Writing from the press bus and buttonholing Obama campaign operatives who were already celebrating, she produced a nicely paced, engaging narrative that provided the first-blush analysis of campaign 2012," they wrote.
Moran is the broadcast winner of the Smith award for his coverage of the Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act.
Moran "calmly guided viewers through the complexity, contradictions and nuance of the ruling while explaining what it means for the president and his political fortunes," the awards panel wrote of his work.
The Merriman Smith fund was set up in 1970 to honor United Press International's correspondent at the White House for more than 30 years. The winners will each receive a cash prize of $2,500.
The winner of the Edgar A. Poe Award is the depth reporting series "Hard Labor," by CPI reporters Jim Morris, Chris Hamby and Ronnie Greene.
As the judges put it, the series "compellingly shows how the government has failed to keep its promise to protect workers from injury and death on the job."
"Drawing on years of data and on-the-ground reporting in eight states and Canada, the authors demonstrate how corporate corner-cutting, government inability or unwillingness to impose meaningful penalties, and bureaucratic pressure to make caseload quotas have stymied real regulation," the judges wrote. "They tell the workers' stories in a manner that evokes Studs Terkel, excellently weaving human interest with deep-data scrutiny and using numbers sparingly but with powerful effect."
The Poe award was set up to honor coverage of national or regional significance. The prize of $2,500 is funded by the New Orleans Times-Picayune and Newhouse Newspapers in honor of their distinguished correspondent, who also served as a WHCA president.
The selections process was supervised by Ellen Shearer, William F. Thomas Professor of Journalism at Northwestern University's Medill school.

Read: Ryan Callahan Visited His Old High School Last Week
Last week Ryan Callahan visited his old High School in Hilton, NY, a suburb of Rochester.
Callahan spoke with a student-athlete leadership council according to the Brighton Pittsford Post.
Callahan said that he spoke with the students about facing adversity and using that as motivation, "When I was named captain it was recognition for the hard work I put in and I earned that by being myself. One key to being a leader is to be yourself, and if you have a solid work ethic and go about thinks the right way others will feed off your success."
He also spoke of the highs and lows of a long season and how not to get too high or too low after games.
Time Warner Rochester has more on Callahan's visit.
Earlier in the lockout Callahan skated with the Nazareth College team.
Below are tweets from some of the students that met Callahan.

This park is very nice. We were reluctant to stay here because of a review we had read. The park is clean, quiet and very accommodating. The staff was helpful and so were the people staying here. Everyone we met was friendly and made us feel at home. My husband and I will return, possibly for a few months next time. There are activities going on all the time and we were invited to attend. They are strict on their rules and that is why the park is so clean and efficient. Love this place and would stay long time, anytime. Thank you Evergreen Coho SKP's. You are awesome! We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

This is a private park which requires an Escapees membership. It's the most un-friendly Escapees park we've been. The short-term rental sites have poor electric and parking is on gravel in a long row. Internet by your own means is very poor as is Verizon cell. There is Wi-Fi in the clubhouse. There are very few clubhouse activities except cards and member meetings which were always being held making the clubhouse not very socialable. The park's web site is very poor as it's so outdated with park content and it's a mish-mash of links, most of which don't even work. It's very poorly organized. The members keep to themselves unless you make an effort to talk to them. No one wears nametags as the other Escapee parks do, and it just gives the impression of aloofness. The flowers in the park and the laundry room are the best parts. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Park is for Escapee members only. The office is run in a very business like manner. But this was the least friendly Escapee park that we have visited. Although the park has a large fenced area for dogs, all other grassy areas are posted with no pet signs. One of the lease holders complained that I walked my dog in the wooded area directly behind our site, said that dogs could only be walked in the dog run on the other side of the park. The park has a very nice club house with library, game room, pool table, craft area, iron, and ironing board. Many events are scheduled, but park visitors are not invited into conversations with most lease holders. The grounds are beautifully maintained. Electric voltage varies throughout the day. Our clothes dryer burned out, probably as a result of low voltage. Our neighbor on the lot adjacent to ours was outstanding. They provided local knowledge and even drove us into Port Angeles. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Like most Escapees' RV parks; this is an older CG, but it is well maintained. It is in an attractive rural setting and is very quiet. It was still pretty empty when we were there since most of the summer residents hadn't yet returned. The majority of the park are "owned" sites, but there are a dozen or more "transient" sites for short-term visitors. The transient sites are gravel and only 30A but at $18/night they are a bargain. If you are staying a month or more you are placed on one of the "owned" sites further into the park. The few people who were around were pleasant, but it was obvious that the long-term residents keep their distance from the transients. There appears to be wifi at the park but transients aren't permitted to access it except in the clubhouse. This is annoying because the Verizon service is erratic. This is a good location for going into Port Townsend which is a fun "tourist town." We camped here in a Motorhome.

Very nice, well-kept park with friendly staff. Pretty surroundings, very rural but with nicely landscaped grounds. Most of the summer residents had flown south so there were plenty of available full hookup sites. As an SKP member, I plan to return for a longer stay. We camped here in a Motorhome.

If you are in the area of Port Townsend for more than a week, it is worth joining Escapees and using this park. Lots of activities, great laundry, all pull-through spaces. Well kept park. The 8-10 mile trip into Pt Townsend is worth it. Because it is inland, the temperature is 10 degrees warmer. Spaces are a little close together when they are busy. We stayed for 17 days. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Previous reviewer wasn't kidding; voltage here is quite low in the travelers' pull-through sites. Never got over 112. Summer weather here is cool; you won't need AC; in fact, we had the heat on sometimes. Was bothered more by the very weak Verizon cell and aircard reception. There is wi-fi in the clubhouse. Forget TV; we couldn't get any networks, but some folks with higher antennas did. Not very many overnight hook-up sites, but you can't beat the $16.50 price for this area.Residents have been here a long time and keep mostly to themselves; large elderly population. Didn't seem like a SKP park except for the travelers. Cheap laundry room, but you have to sign up. Only 2 showers in park, which seemed ridiculous. We'll come back if in area but only to save money...but hoping they'll fix the voltage problem. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is an Escapees membership park. The good things about this park: it's nicely landscaped, clean, well managed with friendly people. The reason I give it a 5 is there is no 50 amps, the 30 amp voltage was so low we had to be VERY careful not to overload. (It ran around 110 and 115 volts.) Secondly, the guest sites are close and it's one big gravel parking lot. The rates are good for the area, $99 a week. We will not stay here again as we got tired of dealing with the low voltage. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a park for members only. There are 40 sites for transient visitors, 22 full hook up and 18 dry camping. Only self contained RV's. The rate is based on the weekly rate. The dry camp rate is $5. a day. The Wi-Fi only works in the clubhouse. It is a super super clean park. We would give this park a 10 if they had Wi-Fi throughout the park and 50 amp electric. It is one of the nicest parks we stayed in, in over 40 years of rv'ing. We will be back. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

We take you to a Morgan Horse Farm in Charlotte where their passion for the breed is undeniable -- and now they are doing what they can to pass it on.
Riding students are enjoying the signs of the season at Cedar Spring Farms, watching this week-old foal named Rondo is learn his way around the 140-acre farm.
He is one of the more than 40 Morgan Horses on the farm, among them are some World Champions. The Sogoloff family has been in the business for decades, but recently relocated to this state-of-the-art facility in Charlotte.
"If you can control a 1,000-pound animal I think you can rule the world. That is what I like to see develop in my riders is that type of confidence and pride. I also want them to have a lot of fun, because it is," says Bonnie Sogoloff.
Bonnie Sogoloff has a passion for the breed that she is passing along to her students. The first American Morgan horse was raised in Vermont, and the breed has strong roots in American history.
"It was the first American breed. It's been used in the government for military purposes. It has a history with a number of presidents. It's been used it a lot of different ways and we like to say it is the horse that carved America," says Julie Broadway with the American Morgan Horse Association.
The Sogoloffs teach a wide variety of skill sets from beginners to competitive riders.
"I am teaching them the saddle seat style of riding. That is for a very up-headed high stepping horse which Morgans are," she says.
Aly Wainer has been riding for two years and is now showing Pepper.
"Once you get to know them they are really kind," she says.
Jerry Sogoloff is a professional driver, which is evident when you see him behind this grand champion MEM Balamos, but don't let him fool you -- it is a lot harder than it looks.
I can speak from experience.
The minute I sat behind this horse I could hear all of my previous instructors' voices in my head -- sit up, head straight, shoulders square, elbows up, reigns tight -- and trust me just because you are not on the horse does not mean they do not take you for a ride.
You may wonder what the difference is between this horse and other breeds -- Morgan enthusiasts say it's all in their attitude.
"I have heard people say we are the laborador retriever of the horse world because the Morgan is a very people oriented breed and it does everything and is very athletic. They like to nuzzle you and and they usually come to the front of the stall. They have got something to say!" Broadway says.
"I do not care what breed or what discipline if they can get involved with horses they will discover a wonderful new world," Sogoloff says.
But don't let her fool you -- she is partial to the Morgans and hopes you will come give them a try.
The AMHA is offering a free riding lesson for anyone who has never tried riding or driving a Morgan. Currently, Cedar Springs is the only farm participating in the program in Vermont, but they hope to see it grow across the state.

NORMAL Ill -- Dozens of Twin City residents lounged about in Uptown Normal's round-about tonight.
It was part of Normal's first ever summer music series in the new Uptown area.
Residents had a chance to kick back and check out some local music.
Normal's own, Alex and the XO's kicked off the first night of the series.
Organizers hope the event will serve as a coming out party for their newly restructured uptown.
"They've done a great job of restructuring the Uptown," said Normal resident, Mark Detwiler. "I think is just a unique aspect that most towns do not have. I think it really sets Normal apart for having it, and I hope it becomes an even bigger attraction for them."
The event is free to the public and will be held every other Thursday in the Uptown Circle.
The series will wrap up September 5th.

3 Money-Making Hobbies You Can Actually Brag About
August 26, 2010 | Posted By: Rebecca Garland
Plenty of things are touted as grand money-making hobbies, but in reality would you really want your friends to see what youve been doing to earn those few dollars? A real hobby usually costs you a bit of money to enjoy, but its worth it for pure enjoyments sake. Its important to keep that in mind when considering hobbies that might actually pay off.
Penny Stocks
If you like finances and you love the idea of testing your knowledge (or gaining some knowledge) of the stock market, penny stocks might be a fun way to learn more about how the buying and selling works. With penny stocks, youll buy very inexpensive stocks for literally pennies and then hope that the stock doubles or even triples its value over time.
The big boys spend thousands on penny stocks hoping to double their money and at that level its a risky animal. But if you set a budget of $5 or $10 per week to invest as you please, youre spending less than a couple of lattes and you just might come out ahead. Remember the basics of the stock market though diversify your portfolio (buy lots of different things) and stay in it for the long-haul. Even if your penny stocks lose money in the roller coaster of the stock market, resist selling out until the stocks rise again. You only lose money in the stock market when you cash out.
Article Writing
Its amazing how many people are using the gift of written gab to turn a quick buck. Youll never get rich writing for one of the many content mills online, but writing quick articles for $10 or $15 each isnt a bad way to spend an afternoon if you happen to love writing about completely random topics. Of course, if you plan to brag about these later, youll want to avoid writing the How to Pick Lint from Your Belly Button type articles and stick to ones that are somewhat less embarrassing in polite company.
Flipping Finds
We cant flip houses any more for a quick profit, but there are still plenty of things out there you can buy, fix-up and sell to other people. Consider old furniture. Buy the broken piece and use a bit of handyman skill to repair and re-purpose the item. Buy ugly pieces and sand them down and refinish or paint and antique the items before reselling them at craft fairs or online. You can buy up odds and ends and make collections to sell or revitalize certain items by changing the fabric or using a high-quality can of spray paint.
Get creative and start looking for the items others consider junk garage sales are a perfect place to start. Find treasures and resell them. Even if you sell a box of odd tools for $1 each, youll make a profit so long as you paid less than that for each item initially. Its amazing how much money you can make with a big bottle of cleaning spray and a bit of savvy when it comes to finding hidden treasures.

She writes regularly for many companies and websites such as www.pennystockclassroom.com on topics ranging from social media to penny stocks, including everything in between.

where do you purchase and find these penny stocks? do you need a broker? what fees dop you pay to purchase the stocks?
thank you
August 28, 2010 | Posted By: sivartk
Hmmm...I have the opposite in the stock market...stay in just a few stocks and cash out when you make your set profit. You can always buy back in. I did the buy and hold with HHS in the late 1990's. I paid $30...it is worth $10...so much for buy and hold.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
When in condition as of the first ascent, this climb becomes one of the hardest ice routes anywhere. (WI7+ R) When the sustained thin ice turns into thicker ice, expect to see difficulties in the WI5+/6 range.
The route is the right most line on the Trophy Wall. The start is by the Postcriptum or a direct start can be had via two bolts at the roof but it's been known the crux hold broke making it extremely more difficult then it already was.
In the conditions I found, no rock gear was needed. A couple knifeblades are not a bad thing to bring though. Bring a few stubbies.

Ben Tate understands that the NFL is a business. The Texans have their lead running back, Arian Foster , under contract through 2016, and Tate is about to become a highly sought-after free agent. He knows his time in Houston is up, and he said as much on both Facebook and Twitter on Monday.
"Cleaned out my locker going to miss the guys on this team," Tate wrote. "we have a lot of good ppl on this team and everyone was cool from the trainers to the equipment guys....always made it a good time while still getting work done. odds are I won't be back but being drafted here I learned a lot that I will carry on for the rest of my career. thank you Htown for all the support..."
Fantasy Analysis:
Tate finishes four injury-plagued seasons in Houston, including a rookie year entirely wiped out by a broken right ankle. Yet, someone will try to make him a full-time starter this offseason. The Browns have been interested in him for months. His most productive season came in 2011 when he ran for 942 yards on 175 carries.

Good start for the Hercules Wimbledon ladies
9:00am Thursday 22nd May 2014 in Sport By Tom Pollak
Hercules Wimbledon AC's senior women's track and field team made a solid start to their season, sharing the honours in the Rosenheim League opener, and finishing third in the opening Southern Women's League meeting.
The over-45 veteran Lisa Thomas led a record-breaking week as she bettered a hat-trick of club times in the Rosenheim League Eastern Division meeting at Battersea Park.
Thomas set new veteran records over 400m (66.80 seconds), 800m (two minutes 33.4secs) and 3,000m (11:18.3).
Newcomer Maria Antoniou was the club's only individual winner in the mid-week meeting taking the triple jump with a leap of 9.05m.
Laura Wignall was second in the 200m, and she also ran the opening leg for the 4x200m relay team which finished runners-up.
Other members of the squad were Hannah Fernando, Heather Letley and Emilie Bokor-Ingram.
A further two club records fell in the Southern Women's League Division One match at Erith stadium on Saturday.
Alison Murray climbed 3.10m in the pole vault to break the veteran record, and Ann Martin set another veteran record in the shot (5.06m).
Emily Martin warmed up for this weekend's Surrey championships with a double win in the 100m (13.00secs) and long jump (5.36m).
Emilie Bokor-Ingram took the 400m in 60.40secs, while teenager Emma Headley won over 800m in 2:29.00.
Hannah Fernando secured maximum points in the 800m by winning the B string races.
Fernando also won the 1,500m B race with Amy Aronson winning the A string race (5:12.00) - Aronson also won the 3,000m, clocking 10:36.7.
Joint team managers Letley and Fernando set by example competing in 10 individual events between them, as well as both relays.
They linked up with Bokor-Ingram and Maria Antoniou, who was also third in the triple jump A and second in the long jump B, to secure second place in the 4x400m relay.
Letley was also second in the 200m and 400m hurdles A races and won the high jump B.
Fernando was also third in the 100 and 200m B races and was second in the triple jump B.
The competition, with Hercules lying third, comes to Wimbledon Park next on June 7.

NCDC Frequently Asked Questions
What about the future?
[ Return to FAQs ]
Due to the enormous complexity of the atmosphere, the most useful tools for gauging future changes are 'climate models'. These are computer-based mathematical models which simulate, in three dimensions, the climate's behavior, its components and their interactions. Climate models are constantly improving based on both our understanding and the increase in computer power, though by definition, a computer model is a simplification and simulation of reality, meaning that it is an approximation of the climate system. The first step in any modeled projection of climate change is to first simulate the present climate and compare it to observations. If the model is considered to do a good job at representing modern climate, then certain parameters can be changed, such as the concentration of greenhouse gases, which helps us understand how the climate would change in response. Projections of future climate change therefore depend on how well the computer climate model simulates the climate and on our understanding of how forcing functions will change in the future.
The IPCC Special Report on Emission Scenarios determines the range of future possible greenhouse gas concentrations (and other forcings) based on considerations such as population growth, economic growth, energy efficiency and a host of other factors. This leads a wide range of possible forcing scenarios, and consequently a wide range of possible future climates.
According to the range of possible forcing scenarios, and taking into account uncertainty in climate model performance, the IPCC projects a best estimate of global temperature increase of 1.8 - 4.0°C with a possible range of 1.1 - 6.4°C by 2100, depending on which emissions scenario is used. However, this global average will integrate widely varying regional responses, such as the likelihood that land areas will warm much faster than ocean temperatures, particularly those land areas in northern high latitudes (and mostly in the cold season). Additionally, it is very likely that heat waves and other hot extremes will increase.
Precipitation is also expected to increase over the 21st century, particularly at northern mid-high latitudes, though the trends may be more variable in the tropics, with much of the increase coming in more frequent heavy rainfall events. However, over mid-continental areas summer-drying is expected due to increased evaporation with increased temperatures, resulting in an increased tendency for drought in those regions.
Snow extent and sea-ice are also projected to decrease further in the northern hemisphere, and glaciers and ice-caps are expected to continue to retreat.
