The Green Bay Packers wanted bling with their Super Bowl ring and that's what they got. Compromised of 3.35 carats and 109 diamonds, the rings met the expectations of the players. Packers president Mark Murphy said he knew the players wanted something big and with lots of "bling,"
"It was definitely everything we expected," said Packers coach Mike McCarthy. "The players, they were ecstatic about it, the way they were showing each other the ring, the platinum, the diamonds, the design, I think it's something everybody is excited about it."
Check out a close-up photo of the rings here.
This was an unusual Super Bowl ring ceremony at Lambeau Field because the players and owners haven't seen each other this offseason due to the communication ban the NFL lockout brings.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers and LB Clay Matthews were clearly excited to receive their bling, as evidenced by this photo.

A water main ruptured in a Coon Rapids, Minn. neighborhood late Tuesday night, shooting water 15 feet in the air.
Crews told FOX 9 the pipe ruptured at about 10 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of 122nd Avenue and Partridge Street, cutting off water service to the neighborhood. The area was covered with ice and sand that was blasted from the hole under extreme pressure.
City utility workers quickly shut-off water in the area and started pumping out water much of the night so they could locate the leak, repair it and fill the hole.
It's second water main break in Coon Rapids in the past 24 hours. The first happened at about 1 a.m. Tuesday morning. In that case, crews say they were digging by 7 a.m. and had water service restored by mid-morning.
Since this latest water main break happened at 10 p.m., crews were able to get it repaired and cleaned-up by the 6 a.m. hour -- before many people had to wake-up and go to work Wednesday morning.

Mike Dunlap lasted a single season with the Charlotte Bobcats. He was fired Tuesday with a 21-61 record as an NBA head coach.
President of basketball operations Rod Higgins and general manager Rich Cho made that call, with the blessing of owner Michael Jordan, after conducting exit interviews with the 15 players.
Sources said several of the players gave negative feedback on Dunlaps prospects of succeeding long-term. The process was reminiscent of Sam Vincents firing following a single Bobcats season in 2007-08.
Higgins said player feedback was part of the process, but not the only indicator that a change was justified.
Dunlap, 55, was an out-of-the-box hire, coming from St. Johns, where he was an assistant who filled in as acting coach while Steve Lavin recovered from cancer-related surgery. The Bobcats hired him over nine other candidates because he seemed strong in player-development, a teacher of fundamentals.
He had some success in that regard, particularly in developing Kemba Walker into a starting NBA point guard.
But he had only two years of NBA experience, as a Denver Nuggets assistant, and his stern style caused friction, particularly with more veteran players. Dunlap and nine-season pro Ben Gordon had a verbal altercation at a pre-game shootaround in February that drew national attention.
Dunlap was quick to bench people for weeks at a time when he was displeased with their performance. Bobcats management gave Dunlap complete control over playing time and sometimes he seemed heavy-handed in distributing minutes.
Asked if Dunlap struggled to reinvent himself as an NBA coach, Higgins said, There were times where that could be perceived. We knew when we hired Mike there were going to be some uncharted waters, so to speak.
The Bobcats made Higgins and Cho available to discuss the decision. Jordan did not provide a comment on the firing.
Tuesday evening, Dunlap released a brief statement through his agent: I want to thank Michael Jordan and the entire Bobcats organization for the opportunity they provided me. I would also like to express my appreciation to the fans of Charlotte for their terrific support. I am very proud of the effort and hard work that the players demonstrated throughout the season. I am looking forward to the next chapter in my coaching career.
In a lengthy interview in Saturdays Observer, Dunlap acknowledged mistakes from which he said he learned. He said he initially overcoached during games and overvalued practice versus rest in managing an 82-game schedule.
Asked the difference between coaching college kids and pros, Dunlap said: Whether its Kemba Walker (in his second season) or Brendan Haywood (in his 12th), they appreciate what you dont say when the game is being played. In college you can literally yell across the floor and direct traffic with a player and its perfectly acceptable. Here the pro player cant stand that.
Dunlap has one season remaining on his contract, for which hell be paid by the Bobcats. Its unknown how much Dunlaps contract with the team was worth.
Higgins said Dunlap reacted to the firing very professionally and thanked us for the opportunity.
Its unclear if any of the assistants will be retained. However Stephen Silas, a carryover from Paul Silass staff, has time remaining on his contract with the Bobcats, according to a source.
Now the Bobcats will conduct their fourth head-coach hire in six years, all on Jordans watch.
Is Higgins surprised to be hiring a coach again this quickly?
Its the NBA; youre not surprised by a lot, Higgins said. Its the business, and were preparing for what tomorrow brings.
The Bobcats have abundant assets that could make the coaching job more appealing this time around. They can create up to $21 million in room under the salary cap this summer to recruit free agents and make trades. They will have a top-five pick in the 2013 draft and might have three first-rounders (their own, plus picks from Portland and Detroit) in 2014.
An agent for one of the current Bobcats, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the situation, said the Bobcats might have found Dunlap a negative in recruitment of free agents. Higgins said he doubts that would have been an issue.
Players want opportunities meaning financial gain, playing time, probably the third (factor) would be a winning scenario, Higgins said. Thats what were planning to be a winning team.
Higgins and Cho have begun compiling a list of potential candidates. Higgins said his and Chos phones blew up with coaches making themselves available Tuesday. They said they are not under any time pressure to make a hire.
What are they looking for this time?
A great leader, and the player-development aspect is still vitally important to us because of our youth, Higgins said. Obviously you want a fantastic X-and-O coach, someone who can make our players better and help us win games.
Asked if experience is a priority after the Dunlap and Vincent experiences, Cho said not necessarily.
We dont want to limit ourselves to a model, Cho said. Were pretty open-minded.
Higgins didnt address any specific names as potential targets. There are a number of experienced head coaches available, including Jeff Van Gundy, Stan Van Gundy, Byron Scott and Alvin Gentry.

Kidderminster firm fined £30k after worker lost legs in explosion
6:10am Friday 21st February 2014 in Local
A KIDDERMINSTER firm has been fined £30,000 after a factory worker lost both his legs in an explosion.
Welder Clive Dainty was thrown across the factory floor when the lid of a large metal vessel he was pressure testing blew off at Filtration Services Engineering Ltd at Oldington Trading Estate, Kidderminster.
The 51-year-old suffered injuries to most of his body and later lost both his legs. He spent months in hospital and has limited movement in his arms, suffered injuries to his head and internal organs and is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life, Ben Mills, prosecuting, told Worcester Crown Court.
The firm was also ordered to pay £15,000 costs after pleading guilty to breaching regulations governing safety at work.
Mr Mills told the court the bucket-shaped filtration vessel had been delivered by another company shortly before the accident on December 8, 2011.
It was decided to check the welding by air pressure testing rather than the usual method of filling it with water and dye. The method had been used before but infrequently and Mr Dainty, from Kidderminster, was given no training or written instructions.
The company failed to carry out a risk assessment and did not clear the area, secure the vessel to the floor or put it in a security cage, Mr Mills said.
Instead, it was held on a table by two other workers, who suffered minor injuries in the accident, and the 710-millimetre diameter lid secured with 20 bolts. Mr Dainty then stood in front of the lid while the vessel was filled with air, similar to inflating a tyre, and he was tightening the bolts with a wrench when the lid blew off with "explosive force" and a noise described as sounding like a bomb going off. He was blown across the room into some shelving while the vessel flew backwards nine feet.
Mr Mills, acting on behalf of the Health and Safety Executive, said free guidance on pressure testing was easily available on the internet from the HSE.
Dominic Kay, for the company, said mistakes had been made but not as a result of cutting costs or corners. He said the combination of events had led to a "perfect storm" on the day of the accident and the company felt genuine remorse.
It had been a family firm since 1957 and employed 50 workers. The firm had voluntarily paid Mr Dainty £30,000 since the accident and he was also involved in a civil claim for compensation.
Although the firm had a healthy turnover, it did not make a huge profit, Mr Kay said.
Judge Robert Juckes QC said Mr Dainty must have been a very tough man to survive the explosion. He said the injuries had been "catastrophic." The company was well run and with a good safety record but it had made a number of mistakes and carried out the testing in a very crude way.

Beach erosion control levies to go before Southampton voters
Special elections will be held Saturday in two newly created special erosion districts in Southampton Town where voters will be asked to approve spending on beach erosion control measures over the next 10 years.
Polling in both districts will be held in Southampton Town Hall from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Southampton Town Clerk Sundy A. Schermeyer is sending notices to eligible voters in each district, and advising them on how to request an absentee ballot because many summer homeowners are not expected to be in Southampton on the day of the vote.

Bridgehampton erosion district residents will be asked to approve a levy of $13,143,350, while Sagaponack residents will vote on a levy of $13,364,500. The money will be used to move sand to the beach when needed, and to monitor beach conditions as required by FEMA.
The elections are independent of one another; results in one district have no effect on the other district.

"We held back $350,000 to put into this year's budget so we wouldn't have to lay people off. It's not getting any better," Duckworth said. "This would have some impact on the city as well. I've talked to the mayor about it. They all understand what we're looking at."
Duckworth says the decision could impact funding for snow removal, road salt, bridges, and other repairs.
Lawmakers are expected to vote before this session ends next Tuesday.

GARRETT GOMEZ, LIFE IS SWEET, WINNER: "We had a beautiful trip and she relaxed very well for me. Going to the three eighths pole, they were spread three wide in front of me and everybody was looking back for me. She was just galloping along within herself and I was confident she'd be able to quicken when I asked her. When we turned for home, Rosario (Joel, aboard Model) made a right-hand turn in front of us, so we had to deal with that, but it didn't matter. She's just a beautiful specimen."
JOHN SHIRREFFS, LIFE IS SWEET, WINNER: "She's been running well here. We'll have to discuss that with Marty (Wygod, when asked if there was another race here for her), but I don't see anything. He's the boss. Garrett (Gomez) said he could have gone at any time. He felt very comfortable on her. It was nice that there was a little bit of pace and she was up a little bit closer."
MARTY WYGOD, OWNER OF LIFE IS SWEET WITH HIS WIFE, PAM: Asked about what might be her next race: "I don't know. There's a possibility of the Gamely (Stakes at Hollywood Park, 1 1/8 miles on turf, May 30). The Apple Blossom (April 4 at Oaklawn Park, Grade I, $500,000, 1 1/16 miles) comes back a little too soon, but we'll see how she comes out of it." Asked if she might meet undefeated champion stablemate Zenyatta: "Who knows?"
NOTES: The Santa Margarita is the 17th stakes win this meet for Gomez. He needs two more to tie the Santa Anita meet mark of 19 stakes wins shared by Laffit Pincay Jr. (1982-83) and Corey Nakatani (1996-97). Winning owners/breeders Martin and Pam Wygod are from Rancho Santa Fe, CA.

Kota Kinabalu, or KK, is the capital of the Sabah state in Malaysia. A delightful coastal city that is rich with history and tradition beckons local and international travellers to explore its gorgeous rainforests, natural ecosystem, beautiful reefs and diverse cultures. Climbing enthusiasts from across the globe flock over to its most famous landmark - Mount Kinabalu which stands majestically at 4,095 metres above sea level. Other than hiking, you can also book yourself a visit to the Kinabalu Park, Malaysia's first World Heritage Site by UNESCO that boasts over 5,000 plant species consisting of orchids, ferns and the exotic Rafflesia plants. Just off the coast of KK, take a dip into the clear waters of Manukan Island, a popular tourist spot for the young and wise, with long stretches of chalets, clubhouses, restaurants and a diving centre for a complete holiday experience at the beach! Need some excitement after the hike and swim? Go club hopping around KK town and you'll love the blend of cultures, races and music influences. Best way to see KK is by renting a car and go on a drive around town, from nearby Tanjung Aru beach for gorgeous sunset to Ranau for a dip in the Poring Hot Springs.

Winder police need the public's help finding suspects who drove a truck into the front of a local pawn shop and made off with $16,000 in guns, including a semi-automatic rifle.
Police said the suspects ran into the shop after a stolen white Dodge Ram was driven through the front window around 3:15 a.m. on Sunday.
The burglary happened at Southeast Pawn at 138 West Athens St. The suspects left the truck at the store and fled in a second unknown vehicle. Winder police say the truck was reported stolen from Atlanta.
The owners are still checking inventory, but they believe at least 20 guns were taken.
Winder police spokesman Chris Cooper said detectives are actively investigating leads.

Web 2.0 Expo kicks off Tuesday with the motto "the power of less," hoping that thousands of developers, entrepreneurs, managers, and investors in attendance will see Internet technology opportunities within current budget and resource constraints.
Web 2.0 refers to the breakthrough online technologies that emerged after the dot com bust and have entered workplaces via wikis, syndicated feeds, blogs, enterprise social networking and online communities. They have disrupted and enhanced various business activities, including marketing, communications, development and collaboration.
[ Dan Tynan argues for putting the days of doing more with less behind you, and offers 16 ways IT can do less with less. | For advice on how to keep your IT project afloat, see "Six ways to save your IT project from the scrap heap." ]
"Expo attendees have been learning for several years how to do things in a lightweight, agile, iterative way, which is the way of Web 2.0. Now, suddenly, companies are losing staff and budget with the downturn," said Jennifer Pahlka, general manager of the Web 2.0 events at TechWeb, which produces these conferences jointly with O'Reilly Media.
"The show this year will try to help attendees see that whatever resources, time or budget constraints they have, that problem can be turned into an opportunity if it helps us make necessary changes to streamline our organization to make more out of less," she said in a phone interview.
Pete Mauro, director of product management and marketing at Savings.com, has high expectations for his first Web 2.0 Expo. Working in a start-up, he wears many hats, so he plans to attend sessions about various topics, including marketing, customer service, community, OpenID and social-interface design.
"I'd like to hear from interesting speakers, meet folks in the hallways, and come back with new ideas and relationships that can help me and my company," he said via e-mail.
"Like everyone else, we are looking at the most effective way to leverage sites like Twitter and Facebook to extend our brand and build relationships with consumers," he added.
Samantha Swati LaPerre, managing editor of Electronic Arts' EA.com is interested in social media sessions to learn about marketing strategies and best practices, which is key in the video game industry.
"As someone who uses social media off the job as well, I know that how businesses use these tools to market to me can be anything from invasive to awesome, and I want to make sure that I know all I can about what defines that delicate balance," she said via e-mail.
"Also, as manager of content on our Web portal, knowing about the latest Web 2.0 technologies will help me define our roadmap as our site and content evolve," she added.
Geoffrey Hendrey, co-founder of start-up NextDB.net, a hosted AJAX database, this year only bought a pass to the show floor, not the conference, because he was disappointed at the number and quality of technical sessions at last year's event.

Military training for civilian careers
(Or: How to gain practical experience while serving your country)
inaugural Occupational Outlook Handbook provided
career guidance for veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces.
Harking back to those origins, this article highlights the
career value of military service.
by C. Hall Dillon
Choosing and joining a
Deciding to pursue career training in the
U.S. Armed Forces is the first of many steps to becoming a
soldier, airman, sailor, Marine, or Coast Guardsman. There
is also the decision about which branch to join. The armed
services' five branches have a lot in common, but each
has its own purpose. You'll need to learn what
distinguishes each branch and whether it provides the
kinds of opportunities you seek.
Do your research, take a few tests, and
you might be ready to sign on the duty-bound line.
Doing your homework
To learn about the armed services and the
types of jobs they offer, get input from several sources.
Study written material, watch video presentations, and
talk to recruiters, family, and friends. Then, analyze the
facts you've gathered to make an informed decision.
A good starting point is to look at each
branch of service separately. Knowing more about what each
does can help you to narrow your occupational focus.
Branches. The Army, Air Force,
Navy, and Marine Corps fall under the U.S. Department of
Defense. They provide the military forces needed to
conduct or deter war and protect the Nation's security.
The Coast Guard is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security and has a primarily domestic role in enforcing
maritime law and safety.
The Army is the largest of the five
branches, with about 488,000 officers and enlisted
soldiers on active duty. These personnel defend U.S. land
and interests through ground-based operations in dozens of
The Air Force, originally created as a
ground-support corps of the Army, has roughly 347,000
active-duty personnel. They defend the Nation from the air
and from space, operating and controlling aircraft,
satellites, and missiles.
The role of the Navy is to maintain
freedom of the seas. In addition to enabling trade and
travel for the United States and its allies, a strong navy
can use the oceans during times of conflict. About 342,000
active-duty Navy personnel serve on ships, submarines,
aircraft, and bases around the world.
The Marine Corps, part of the Department
of the Navy, is the only branch of the armed services with
air-, land-, and sea-based expeditionary fighting
capabilities. Marines, who number around 178,000 on active
duty, are trained to deploy quickly into situations
ranging from peacekeeping to combat; they also guard U.S.
embassies worldwide.
During peacetime, the Coast Guard focuses
on maritime rescue, safety, law enforcement, and border
control. In times of conflict, the President—the
Commander in Chief—can transfer all or some of the
38,000 active-duty members of the Coast Guard to the
Department of the Navy.
Remember, there is some overlap between
the branches' functions. The Air Force might seem an
obvious choice for jobs related to airplanes, for example,
but all five branches have aircraft-related occupations.
Thoroughly investigate your options if you want to train
for a particular job.
Research. Military recruitment information
exists in many forms: posters and brochures, Web-based
videos and written materials, and radio and television
spots. But information also comes from talking with other
people, including current and former military personnel
and recruiters for each of the branches.
Some information for making comparisons is
easy to find. For example, each branch provides details
about its education benefits and eligibility requirements.
You can compare those details to help you decide which
branch to join—or not join.
When evaluating the materials you read,
see, or hear, however, keep in mind that their purpose is
to promote the armed services. You might find the
occupational profiles for one branch appealing, but don't
be too quick to disregard the other branches in the
A major part of your decisionmaking
process should involve talking to others. Current and
former servicemembers can tell you about their active-duty
job, which is especially helpful if it's the type of
work you'd like to do. But remember that each person's
military experience, positive or negative, is filtered
through a different prism.
This advice can also come from recruiters,
whose job is to tell you about the military in general and
their branches in particular. Get the facts you need by
asking specific questions about the occupational options
in each branch, especially if you have a certain job in
mind. Recruiters can also provide information about
details such as signing bonuses, length of basic training,
specifics about leave and medical care, conditions of
living quarters, and details of education benefits.
For balance, talk to more than one
recruiter from each branch. Be informed enough to ask
specifically about topics, such as options for joining the
Reserves, that the recruiter might not mention otherwise.
And trust your instincts. Be wary of any recruiter who you
feel avoids directly responding to your questions.
The flipside to asking questions, of
course, is listening to the answers. Consider bringing
along a friend or family member to sit in on the session
with you. Afterward, you can compare notes. Be aware,
though, that the recruiter might ask personal questions.
Make sure you don't mind that the person accompanying
you will hear your answers to those questions.
Signing up
So, you've settled on the kind of job
you're most interested in and the branch of service you
want to join. Now all you need to do is to put the two
together and sign a contract, right? Not exactly.
The U.S. Armed Forces first need to
evaluate your readiness to enter the military, your work
interests, and your skills in math, verbal, science, and
technical subjects. Then, they compare that information
with their personnel needs to determine what job you'll
be trained to do. The type of occupational specialty you
get may depend on the length of your enlistment and the
availability of jobs.
Prequalifying. When you meet with
a recruiter, he or she probably will ask you a few
questions to make sure you qualify for military service.
Prospective servicemembers usually must meet the following
U.S. citizenship or permanent
High school diploma or equivalent;
Good health and drug free;
Between the ages of 17 and 35; and
Committed no felonies.
In addition, each branch may have specific
requirements for job specialties.
Next, your interests and abilities will be
assessed. Many students take the Armed Services Vocational
Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), offered at thousands of high
schools nationwide, during their junior or senior year.
This test is designed to help students identify their
career-related aptitudes.
If you haven't already taken the ASVAB or need to take it again, you'll take a short
version of it for prequalification purposes. Later, you'll
take the complete version. Your score will be used to
determine whether you qualify for armed-services
enlistment—and, if so, in what kind of job.
Visiting a MEPS. Meeting the basic
requirements means you'll visit a Military Entrance
Processing Station (MEPS). The MEPS is a joint-service
organization run by the U.S. Department of Defense.
Military applicants complete the ASVAB (if needed),
medical tests, paperwork, and other procedures before
taking the oath of enlistment.
The ASVAB, as mentioned previously,
measures aptitude in a broad range of career fields. Your
score will largely determine which occupations you qualify
for. Subject areas tested include word knowledge,
arithmetic reasoning, general science, mechanical
comprehension, and electronics information. Each branch of
the military establishes a minimum ASVAB score for
enlistees, and each branch has rules about retaking it.
The medical exam includes height and
weight measurements, hearing and vision tests, muscle
group and joint maneuvers, and other exams. You also will
be asked to complete a medical-history questionnaire.
If you meet the requirements for the
branch of service you've selected, you'll learn about
job opportunities. You might discover that the occupation
you had hoped to train for does not have any available
slots—and that one you have little interest in pursuing
is wide open. What are your options?
Under the Delayed Entry Program, you might
be able to wait until the job you want becomes available.
But delayed entry isn't a given. If you really want to
join the military, be prepared to train for an occupation
you might never have considered. Incentives, usually in
the form of enlistment bonuses, may be offered to those
willing to accept assignment in hard-to-fill jobs.
Until you sign a service contract, though,
you can still walk away. Once you sign a contract, you're
obligated for at least 8 years of service—either active
or reserve, but an obligation nonetheless—and you can't
leave, even if you don't like it. So be sure you
understand the terms of that commitment before you make
Your final steps in enlisting include an
interview, fingerprinting for a background check, and
taking an oath. Congratulations! You've just bought
yourself a ticket to basic training.

May we help you
À La Carte Excursions | General Information
Add To Plan
Get acquainted with sharks and rays in a unique new way during this glass-bottomed boat ride in Bora Bora, and a swim with stingrays.
After embarking your glass-bottomed boat at the pier, you will depart for a brief cruise during which your guide will share with you their knowledge of these legendary animals. Arriving at the mooring location which is in about 25 feet of water, your guide will then try to attract black-tipped sharks for you to view. If you are lucky, not only will you see some black-tipped sharks, but also some lemon sharks which are known to frequent the area as well.
Continuing on, you will proceed to a shallower, clear lagoon for a rare opportunity to view, embrace and swim with graceful stingrays. An amazing experience you won't soon forget! Afterwards, you will cruise back to the pier where your tour concludes.
Please note: Underwater viewing takes place through large glass windows on the boat. The roof provides protection from the sun and eliminates glare, enhancing photo and video quality. Swimming is not permitted during the first stop with the sharks, but is highly recommended at the second stop with the stingrays. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests or those with mobility concerns. Swimwear worn under a cover-up; sun cap; sunglasses; biodegradable sunscreen; towel; and flat comfortable shoes or aquasocks are recommended. A mask and snorkel are provided. Those participating in any water activities do so at their own risk and responsibility. Although shark and stingray sightings frequently occur, the prescence of any type of wildlife is never guaranteed and tickets will not be refunded should a sighting not occur.

Police spent early Friday morning searching for the people who were inside of a car that was hit by a train. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police were called out to Old Concord Road in northeast Charlotte at about 3 a.m. Someone reported a train collided with a Cadillac. Police say they found the car, tossed around like a tin can. It was upside down in a ditch. But there was no one from the car at the scene.The intersection was closed off for three hours while the car was cleared by wrecker crews, and railroad workers checked the area to make sure none of the tracks were damaged.Once investigators and railroad workers gave the OK, the freight train continued on its way and traffic soon returned to normal.Officers said there have been no reports of the car being stolen. They are working to locate the car owner to try and figure out what happened.Copyright 2013 WBTV. All rights reserved.

Join us for Story Time
Storytelling is one of the first things that a parent will share with their child, and it's something many of us take for granted. However, for the parents of some of the UK's most vulnerable children, the first years of their child's life can be a bewildering time. Growing up, they may not have had the experience of being read to by their own parents.
That's why we want to use the power of storytelling in our shops and in schools to raise money to help Barnardo's support those UK children who need it most.
Our storytelling sessions will take place on the following dates:
- 21, 22 June
- 26, 27 July
- 2, 3 August
- 9,10 August
- 16,17 August
- 23,24 August
- 30,31 August
Please visit our story time page for more information.

We've heard your (and there will be plenty more), but now it's time for some Raves. When was the last time you took a moment to praise someone for a good deed or yelled out to tell everyone how impressed you are with someone?
Let's hear some shout outs. Maybe it's someone at the grocery store who found your wallet and turned it in. Maybe it's a tireless volunteer for one of our nonprofits. Maybe it's an elected official or city leader who has gone to bat for a cause that's important to you.

New Student Information
The Welcome Aboard Letter (pdf) will guide you through the expectations and procedures of your graduate education tour.
NAVPGSCOLINST 1520.1J (pdf) is the governing instruction for administration and management of both the CIVINS and LEP fully-funded graduate education programs.
Please familiarize yourself with the Welcome Aboard Letter, the instruction, as well as the following forms and requirements:
*Note regarding tuition payments and registration*
Due to the payment mechanism in place and the general sequence of events, it is not uncommon for students to receive either statements of account or past due notices. Please forward such notices to your Educational Technician so that they may ensure you remain in good standing.
Graduated Student Information
After you have completed your program there are just a couple final things needed from you:
Educational Skill Requirements (ESR's)
Your curriculum will be evaluated against a set of Educational Skill Requirements (ESR) for the subspecialty you hope to attain. If the two are comparable, you may have already earned a P-Code, meaning you have a Master's Degree meeting all the Navy's requirements for a "Proven" subspecialty. If your courses do not match you will receive information as to what additional course work is needed for you to earn a P-Code.

50+ Action Plan: Caregivers
Support caregivers so they can keep giving.
Family members, many of whom are part of the sandwich generation caring for both young and old, provide the greatest amount of care giving to the elderly.
The average American woman can expect to spend 17 years caring for a child and 18 years caring for an elderly parent. Often, older people are the caregiver for their elderly spouses. Nearly one out of four U.S. households (23 percent or 22.4 million households) contains at least one caregiver for a relative or friend at least 50 years old. If the work of unpaid family caregivers was replaced by paid home care providers, it would cost an estimated $196 billion dollars.
Two additional caregiver issues in Fairfax County are grandparents raising grandchildren (kincare) and aging parents caring for adult children with developmental disabilities. Family care giving often has a major impact on the finances, health and well-being of the caregiver.
Develop more respite for caregivers of older adults and adults with
disabilities, making it a continuum of available, accessible and
affordable options for our diverse community. Increase the number
of respite workers to meet these growing needs.
Increase and promote caregiver training and support services.
- Increase caregiver awareness of technology that can enhance care and reduce stress (assistive technology, monitoring, and more).

PAUSD quietly reverses decision on refunds of illegal summer fees, receives new complaint about 2012 fees
Original post made by Curious on Jun 18, 2013
According to district sources, PAUSD officials also received yesterday a complaint about the summer school fees paid in 2012, along with a demand that those payments also be returned to parents. 2012 summer school tuition amounted to approximately $368,000.
The State Board of Education is scheduled to adopt at its July meeting regulations setting a one-year deadline for complaints of illegal pupil fees (see Web Link, at p. 6).
The unannounced change in district policy on the 2013 refunds follows a June 6 post to Palo Alto Online by Curious, a Palo Alto resident who posts occasional news stories to the online site (see Web Link). Curious' post was entitled "Palo Alto's plan to 'retain' illegal summer school tuition violates state law", and cited the statutory requirement that all illegal fees be returned by school districts.
The reversal on reimbursements follows the district's earlier decision to offer refunds of summer school tuition for 2013. District officials attributed that change to "recent legislation and court decisions," in particular an April 24 memo from the California Department of Education to district superintendents that mentioned a ban on fees for summer school (see Web Link). The decision followed by three days a post by Curious pointing out that summer school tuition is illegal.
However, the language in the April 24 memo cited by the district simply repeated similar statements in advisories to districts dating back to 1997, including earlier memos in 2011 and 2013 (the 2011 memo is at Web Link).
In fact, these statements are repeated in a PAUSD document dated 2011 on the district website. The document, entitled "Student Fees Guidelines," points out that "Students cannot be assessed a fee to enroll in a class, whether it be during the normal school year or during the summer" (see Web Link).
on Jun 18, 2013 at 4:48 pm
Well, you certainly aren't shy about self-promotion ;-) I bet the district staff is hanging on your every post! I hope some time you find a constructive way to work with the school district, instead just carping from the sidelines.
on Jun 18, 2013 at 4:57 pm
Well, Curious seems to be better at getting PAUSD to comply with the law than its own lawyers are.

GALESBURG, Ill. – Prosecutors in Knox County have rested their case in the murder trial of Kai Lefler.
Lefler, 25, of Oneida is accused of stabbing Robert Kilgore, 23, of Galesburg to death in January after witnesses say he confronted Lefler over a possible car burglary.
During testimony Thursday, forensic pathologist Dr. Amanda Youmans testified that Kilgore bled to death after suffering a significant injury to his left arm that damaged a vein and an artery.
Earlier in the day Galesburg Police Detective Travis Smith said that he found a box-cutter knife, black glove and credit card on Lefler when he was arrested.
Just before the jury recessed for the day, defense attorney's requested a motion for a directed verdict. The judge denied that motion, saying that the state has provided sufficient evidence.
The defense will present their case on Friday.
