Bill Foster on Free Trade
Congressional Summary:Sugar Reform Act:
Proponent's argument for bill:(Senators' opinions reported on politico.com) "We subsidize a handful of wealthy sugar growers at the expense of everybody in America," said Sen. Patrick Toomey (R-Pa.), whose home state boasts the chocolate giant, Hershey's. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D-N.D.), warned her colleagues against unraveling the commodity coalition behind the farm bill: "We forget that this is much bigger than a sugar program. It's much bigger than any one single commodity. When you single out one commodity, you threaten the effectiveness of the overall farm bill."
Opponent's argument against bill:(Food and Business News, May 2013): Users claim the sugar program nearly doubles the price of sugar to US consumers and has resulted in lost jobs as some candy manufacturers have moved operations to other countries. Producers claim the program has resulted in more stable sugar supplies, provides a safety net for growers and that world prices are often lower because of subsidies in origin countries, which would put US growers at a disadvantage should import restrictions be lifted. Producers also note that US sugar prices have declined more than 50% from late 2011 highs. They also maintain that jobs have been lost or moved out of the US for reasons other than sugar prices, mainly labor and health care costs, noting that candy makers' profits have been strong in recent years.
Congressional Summary:Amends the Tariff Act of 1930 to include a countervailing duty or antidumping duty on merchandise imported into the US from foreign countries with fundamentally undervalued currency.
Opponent's argument against bill: (by the Club for Growth)We urge all House members to not co-sponsor the protectionist Currency Reform for Fair Trade Act. This proposal would make it easier for the federal government to slap

TEXAS READS: New 'Texas Almanac,' 'Big Thicket Guidebook' references published
Some things I learned from the new 2012-13 edition of the "Texas Almanac" (Texas State Historical Association, $24.95 flexbound, $39.95 hardcover), featuring Willie Nelson on the cover:
Texas has 125 state parks, sites and piers, all pinpointed on a color map inside the front cover. And more than 200 lakes, plotted on a color map inside the back cover.
Although it is considered part of West Texas, Abilene is actually 80 miles closer to Texarkana than to El Paso and 27 miles closer to Beaumont than El Paso. San Angelo is only five miles closer to El Paso than to Galveston.
In a typical year, 132 tornadoes are recorded in Texas, with a third of them occurring in May.
Anita Perry is the 40th woman to serve as First Lady of Texas.
The violent crime rate in Texas decreased by 8.3 percent from 2009 to 2010.
The life expectancy among Texas women is 80.2 years, 75.2 years among men. Hispanic men and women in Texas live longer on average than whites and blacks.
And the answers to these questions:
The state's population increased more than 20 percent between 2000 and 2010, making Texas the fifth fastest growing state in that decade. What states grew even faster?
You know what cities are the six largest in Texas. But what other cities are in the top 10?
Of course the bluebonnet is the Texas state flower and the mockingbird is our state bird, but what is the state dish, the state folk dance, the state insect and the state plant?
The Alamo, Six Flags and SeaWorld were the top sites visited by nonresidents in 2009. What was fourth?
(Answers: Nevada, Utah, Arizona and Idaho grew faster than Texas. The seventh through 10th largest cities in Texas in 2010 were Arlington, Corpus Christi, Plano and Laredo. The state dish is chili, the state folk dance is the square dance, the state insect is the monarch butterfly, and the state plant is the prickly pear cactus. Bass Pro Shops were the fourth most visited site by nonresidents in 2009.)
Big Thicket: The new "Texas Almanac" is 736 pages, while "The Big Thicket Guidebook" by Lorraine G. Bonney (University of North Texas Press, $29.95 hardcover) weighs in at more than 860 pages.
It is quite an impressive guide exploring the back roads and history of Southeast Texas, with about 50 suggested tours or sub-tours of the legendary Big Thicket area, such as the one from Ghost Road to Bragg to Honey Island or from Liberty to Moss Bluff to Eminence.
Valley View School: Norma McMahan Taylor has published her recollections from Valley View Elementary School in Abilene — "Valley View Days: 1939-1945."
Taylor's book is $24.95 hardcover, and she will be in Abilene from 1-3 p.m. Saturday signing books at Texas Star Trading Company, 174 Cypress St., or contact her at 713-789-6933 or by email at email@example.com.

The spiritual warfare attacks against you¬Ýare often referred to as¬Ýwitchcraft attacks. Witchcraft attacks have nothing to do with Wicca,¬ÝNew Age mysticism, or the religion of witchcraft. All¬Ýthese are forbidden according to the Word of God.¬Ý"For all that do these things are an abomination (meaning vile, loathsome, and disgusting)¬Ýunto the¬ÝLord" (Deuteronomy 18:12). Witchcraft in this context is the¬Ýspiritual force that Christians¬Ýfeel when under demonic attack.¬ÝThese kinds of spiritual attacks can be identified like strong confusion, wanting to give up and quit, and depression. (You can listen to an audio teaching I did on this. See below.)¬Ý
At other times there are people that release witchcraft assignments against you through the power of words or by controlling actions. For example, the spirit of witchcraft is a master at diverting attention away from itself by turning it toward you. Witchcraft even separates and isolates its victims from friends and family. One that¬Ýis being spiritually attacked often feels the loss of personal identity and self-esteem. Depression and fatigue can¬Ýfollow as the¬ÝController, like Jezebel,¬Ýgives abnormal attention to those it desires to manipulate.
Let's look at some other examples of¬Ýspiritual witchcraft attacks.
I already mentioned confusion but this one is just as bad. Witchcraft attacks drain¬Ýstrength and energy. Fatigue is often experienced during a witchcraft attack.¬ÝWitchcraft attacks drain the life¬Ýright out of you. When attacked, you feel tired, depressed, oppressed, and fatigued. You can take vitamins, exercise, run five miles and it still doesn't help. Have you noticed how many people go to work tired all the time? They have three cups of coffee in the morning just to begin work. Could some of them be suffering from a witchcraft assignment?
Others feel sad, sleep all the time, feel trapped in depression and can't get out. What I used to think was simply stress-related I now strongly suspect to be the indication of demonic assignments. There have been times, for example, when I was feeling extremely stressed, boarded a plane, left the city's territorial limits and felt the fatigue lift. I am not ruling out the effects of stress, but if you know the fatigue is not medical or stress related, could it be witchcraft's assignments?
There have been other times when I have been well rested, in superb health, the bills are all paid, everything is good, but I find myself weary. There are other times I fight against spiritual retaliations after preaching certain subjects like Exposing Spiritual Witchcraft, What Is A Jezebel Spirit?,¬ÝSpiritual Warfare Prayers, Ahab The Provoker, Five Fold Ministry Gifts, Religious Spirits, or Beware¬ÝCharismatic Merchandisers. You have probably experienced demonic retaliation too.¬ÝSuch demonic assignments should never stop you from following the leading of the Holy Spirit to minister a certain topic or just do what is right.
Here are a few questions¬Ýto help you identify if witchcraft has been released at you. These will help you start thinking.
- When you are in prayer, do you get sick or have headaches?
- Have you ever gotten ill after a confrontation with someone who was spiritually contending with you?
- Do you feel tired when you shouldn't?
- Are your emotions on a roller coaster?
- Do you suffer from depression?
- Have you experienced spiritual retaliations against you?
- Are you having a lot of warfare against your mind?
Witchcraft attacks originate from somewhere because of the actions of somebody. Words spoken against you, for example, release demonic assignments that attack your life. Sometimes witchcraft attacks come from those people you know that are controllers. Controllers,¬Ýyou know who they are, will waste your time.¬ÝWhat these witchcraft controllers do is spend abnormal amounts of time with their victims:
- The girl that consumes all her friends' spare time.
- The boy that smothers his girlfriend with inordinate attention.
- The father that picks his son up on his day off because of reoccurring emergencies.
- The husband that keeps his wife so busy that she has no time for anything else.
- The believer that wants to meet with the pastor each week to talk about the same old, same old.
- The teacher who drowns the student with excessive tutoring.
- The mother that won't let her adult son or daughter make a decision without checking with her.
- The friend that never goes home.
- The boss that continually has you in his office to sit and listen.
- The bible study teacher that won't let you study the bible for yourself.
Witchcraft will go out of the way to control and waste your time. It's not a natural thing, it's¬Ýa spiritual thing. Scripture says,"Withdraw thy foot from thy neighbor's house; lest he be weary of thee, and so hate thee" (Proverbs 25:17). In the local church, we can sometimes (not always)¬Ýsee the spirit of witchcraft operating through the person who wants to hold a deep spiritual conversation with you or the pastor right before the service starts.
Click Here View other Value Kits
Here are some more questions¬Ýto help you identify if witchcraft has been released at you.
- Is there anyone who spends abnormal amounts of time with you either in person or on the telephone?
- Is there anyone who continually consumes or desires your time, especially when you should be in church?
- Have you ever noticed the person who wants to have a spiritual conversation with you during the most reverent time of a church service?
- Do you feel like you can't even think on your own after being around this person?
When Controllers get caught they try and divert your attention away from them. I'm sure you have seen this diversion in action. Witchcraft is a master at diverting attention away from itself by turning it toward you. It makes others think that you are the one with the problem. You're NOT! People operating in witchcraft are masters at taking the focus off of them whenever they are about to be discovered. They shift the blame rather than taking the responsibility for their wrongs.
Those operating in witchcraft¬Ýthink they never do anything wrong. When caught, they say there is nothing to repent for.¬ÝThey tell you directly, "I haven't done anything wrong." Or, "I did what I thought was right. I don't have anything to feel sorry for." They never manifest any true repentance or humility. Whatever humility they may present is false, fake, and used only as a tool to manipulate you some more. Superficial repentance is a common witchcraft deception. Beware of their motives because witchcraft never examines self.
Here are some more questions to think about.
- Does anyone make you feel that everything is your fault when you know it's not?
- Do you know someone that feels like they have not done anything wrong after they have abused you?
- Do they always blame their problems on you?
- Have people told you they were sorry but you knew they weren't?
As already said, Controllers operate in witchcraft and many times have no idea what they are doing. You can sometimes spot a pattern among these people because they do such things as seeking legitimate fronts to hide their agendas. The spirit of witchcraft seeks a legitimate front. To look good, those operating in witchcraft surround themselves with men and women of character. They try to associate themselves with credible people and others with good reputations in an attempt to make it look like they're part of that group. Simon, a sorcerer, for example, joined Philip's ministry team in Samaria (Acts 8). The Apostle Peter discerned Simon's motives and rebuked him.
Witchcraft uses soul ties to control its victims. Have you ever heard the word soul ties? Well, that's what witchcraft wants to create with its victim. If your emotions can be hooked, then they can gain a soul tie with you. If they can form a soul tie with you, then they can control you. All abnormal soul ties need to be broken by the power of the Name of Jesus. There are natural soul ties and abnormal soul ties.
A natural soul tie could be formed if you were involved in a plane crash, landed on a remote island with several survivors and helped each other endure. The result of that accident could lead to a positive emotional bonding with the others. That's a healthy bonding because everybody successfully went through a great trial together.
When you have sexual relations with someone there is a soul tie (emotional bonding) that generates because two fleshes become one (Genesis 2:24). Sexual relations in marriage generate a healthy soul tie, while sexual relations outside of marriage create unhealthy soul ties.
I know of times when people have lost their children through some unfortunate accident. Just being there with them has formed an emotional soul tie. In essence, there are some good soul ties that bring stability into a person's life to help get them through something. Then there are soul ties used solely for the purpose of manipulation, control and selfish gain.
Take a look at these questions.
- Have you ever been emotionally bonded with someone who used that bonding to control or manipulate you?
- Have you met the person who tries to make himself or herself look important through the use of other peoples' reputations?
- Do you feel like you can't make personal decisions without asking this person first?
- Do you know anyone who insinuates they are part of an organization through namedropping?
There are many other examples of spiritual warfare attacks we could share but this is a good start. I try to write from my personal experiences in the "Jonas Clark Revolutionary Review Newsletter" and show you what the Holy Spirit taught me from the Word of God. Over twenty years ago I fought the spirit of witchcraft from April to November and won! I didn't know then what I know now. You can win a lot FASTER when you know how to fight back. If you want to stop these attacks listen to¬Ýthe FREE¬ÝAudio below and also subscribe to the newsletter.

The plaintiffs alleged that the truck driver's employer was vicariously liable for his negligent operation of the vehicle and his negligence in traveling on a highway that was not designed for tractor-trailers. Suit also claimed that the defendant had failed to properly train the driver, who was inexperienced and allegedly could not read a map sufficiently to plan a route properly. The parties settled before trial for $1.25 million. Ritchie v. Averitt Express, Inc.

As the Kansas City Chiefs keep losing, one beleaguered fan keeps singing.
Lifelong fan Dane Callstrom has been turning to the keyboard to belt out his frustrations, and his new song could have others feeling much better about the team's disappointing season.
With the latest Chiefs loss on Monday Night Football before a national audience, Callstrom is developing quite a name for himself.
His latest tune already has hundreds of hits on YouTube and is trending on ESPN.com.
"It's cool. It's very cool. I never thought this would get national attention," Callstrom said.
Callstrom's latest song parodies Joan Osborne's One of Us and focuses on what could have been if former head coach Todd Haley was still calling plays for the Chiefs.
Callstrom wrote the entire song while watching the Chiefs take on their former coach Monday night.
"When we were playing Todd Haley against the Steelers on Monday Night Football, I said I got to do this. It just comes to me," he said.
Like most fans, Callstrom isn't holding out much hope for the Chiefs this year.
He said he would like to see more losing that could help inspire another hit song.
Callstrom is looking to start up a band, so others may see more of him around the metro over the next few months.
Callstrom has another parody song up on Youtube called I Will Follow You Cause I am Clark. Click here to watch that.

The Students' Guild is the students' union for students at the University of Exeter's Streatham and St. Luke's campuses. The Guild exists to represent the voice of the student body to the University and works to ensure that every student gets the most out of their time at Exeter. Every student is automatically a member of the Guild and can access all the services and opportunities that it provides.
The Guild is a democratic organisation led by four Sabbatical Officers (or 'Sabbs' as they are known around campus) who are elected to office each year. Guild Council scrutinises the work of the Sabbaticals and oversees the democratic processes within the Guild including elections and changes to Guild policy and bylaws. Elections are held at key times during each academic year during which students stand for strongly contested positions such as Academic Reps, Guild Reps, positions on Halls Committee and many others.
The Guild provides support to students with problems they might be experiencing during their time at University. The Advice Unit offers a wealth of information and helps with students' worries and problems, whether they are Uni-related or not. From course problems and landlord issues to health worries or money difficulties, the Advice Unit is here to help and signpost students to expert support where necessary.
The Guild is also a buzzing social hub for our students! With approximately 200 societies on campus there is something for everyone to dive into, either as an experienced devotee or someone wanting to try something new. In the unlikely event that there is nothing tempting on offer, students are encouraged to start their own societies – the list is growing every year!
The Guild also provides a choice of spaces for socials, functions or just grabbing a bite to eat with friends. Our Kitchen Deli serves everything from baguettes, wraps and bagels to pasta, pies and burgers while the Kitchen Café provides a cosy venue for a sit-down breakfast, lunch or dinner with friends. The Ram Bar is the Guild's own pub, serving speciality beer and cider with classic pub grub and hosting quizzes, karaoke and socials. Last but not least, the Lemon Grove is the Guild's venue in the heart of Streatham campus, boasting regular live music gigs and the biggest night of the week – Saturday at the Lemmy.

"To whom, then, do I owe a debt of gratitude? To the cardiologist who has kept me alive and ticking for years . . . the surgeons, neurologists, anesthesiologists, and the perfusionist, who kept my systems going for many hours under daunting circumstances. To the dozen or so physician assistants, and to nurses and physical therapists and x-ray technicians and a small army of phlebotomists so deft that you hardly know they are drawing your blood, and the people who brought the meals, kept my room clean. . . . I remember with gratitude my late friend and Tufts colleague, physicist Allan Cormack, who shared the Nobel Prize for his invention of the CT scanner. Allan — you have posthumously saved yet another life, but who's counting? The world is better for the work you did. Thank goodness. Then there is the whole system of medicine, both the science and the technology. . . . So I am grateful to the editorial boards and referees, past and present, of Science, Nature, Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, and all the other institutions of science and medicine that keep churning out improvements, detecting and correcting flaws."
These are just a few of the countless ways people have made life safer, healthier, less painful — and longer — than we ever could have imagined a few centuries ago. Thank goodness.

The Trump Plaza is set to be sold.
The casino announced Thursday a deal to be purchased by Meruelo Gaming Holdings LLC, a company that owns the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino in Reno, Nevada.
Meruelo Gaming has agreed to pay 20 million dollars plus other contract assumptions and liabilities.
The purchase, according to Executive Vice President and CFO of Trump Entertainment David Hughes, is promising for the entire city.
"What's really great about this is it shows that there's interest in Atlantic City, someone willing to come in and invest in capital."
Net proceeds from the sale will help to lower the company's long-term debt and Hughes believes the deal will benefit the employees of Trump Plaza.
"This is great for the employees not only for the jobs here, we firmly believe that when this is done and the project is done, there will be more jobs at Trump Plaza and its really good for Atlantic City to see people want to come to Atlantic City and invest in Atlantic City," said Hughes.
Hughes also added that Trump Plaza will maintain it's union membership and that this transaction allows the company to concentrate on other projects.
"This will let the company focus on Trump Taj Mahal which we've been making a lot of investment in to, putting a lot of capital in to, to make that even a better asset," said Hughes.
The deal is expected to be finalized on or before May 31st of this year and Hughes believes the deal is beneficial for all parties involved.
"I would describe it as outstanding news for everyone and outstanding news for our employees and Atlantic City."

Become a Part of the Education Nation!
September 23, 2011 at 12:05 pm , by Sonia Harmon
Among the many hot button issues in our country, there's one we should all be able to agree on: the importance of a great education. This weekend, NBC is starting a conversation on this topic in a major way with its Education Nation Summit, which kicks off Sunday at noon (EST) with the second-annual Teacher Town Hall on MSNBC. The live broadcast will be a discussion for and about teachers, and the challenges they face today. We talked to NBC news anchor Brian Williams, who will moderate the discussion, about this special initiative.
Ladies' Home Journal: Tell us about NBC's Education Nation project.
Brian Williams: When we do pieces on education on my broadcast nightly news, we always label them part of our Education Nation campaign. It's just an enormous commitment by the network to say, "Look, we're allowed to have issues that are important to us. We just don't take a stand, but we'd like to be the conduit." One thing we do that has become quite popular is the Teacher Town Hall. We literally have a tent on the skating rink at 30 Rockefeller Plaza and it's just like being in the teacher's lounge. Growing up as a kid, didn't you always wonder what went on in there? So we let them blow off steam. It's not a political debate, it's not a NASCAR race—but it's as exciting as gatherings go. It just happens to be about education.
What are some education issues you think people need to be more aware of?
Well, I just think people need to dive into the reform effort. Parents need to dial in, folks whose kids are grown and out of school who have time to volunteer and help out, they need to dial in, rich folks who have money to give. That's the lesson I've learned, that when you stop going to PTA meetings and when your kids grow up and out, your obligation to education doesn't end. In many ways it's just beginning. You still have a lot to give.
Do you remember a teacher that really affected you as a kid? Read more

CATEGORIES Horror, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, 20th Century Fox, Comic/Superhero/Geek, Remakes and Sequels, Trailers and Clips, Trailers and Clips, CinematicalThe first few lines of dialogue in Alien vs. Predator: Requiem include "take your time" and "slow down," which is pretty ironic considering how impatient the movie comes off in its initial five minutes. Thanks to Yahoo! you can now watch those five minutes and see for yourself. You'll agree that at least in the opening, the sequel is not trying to waste any time. Right away we see an Alien pop out of a Predator's chest, which leads to a quick Alien-Predator battle, which immediately results in the Predator's ship crashing down onto Earth. At this point we meet father and son hunters, the former of which utters those first words.
Oh, and that's when it gets awesome: the hunter shoots one of the baby Aliens, which bleeds acid on his arm, which then falls off. Then another baby Alien jumps onto his face and another baby Alien jumps onto the kid's face. Satisfied yet? Well, you still have the beacon, which is picked up on the Predator home planet, where the last few minutes' events are given an instant replay, which is viewed by another Predator, who abruptly gets into another spaceship and heads to the rescue. And then ... we see the title sequence.
Yeah, in case the red-band trailer hadn't been enough, I have to reiterate that I've never been so excited about a movie I've had such a low expectation for in my entire life. Will Alien vs. Predator: Requiem suck? It's possible, but if it continues with such disregard for pauses, it's going to at least be a quick and painless shot of entertainment.

Saving Memories -- and Money
"Can I have a plastic snow globe?" Grace asks, holding up yet another tacky souvenir in one of the shops along Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.
"No honey," I reply and remind her that we can't take it on the plane (no liquids or gels through security). I go on to veto more purchases -- an "Alcatraz Triathlon" T-shirt, shot glasses, and an "earthquake in a can," until I finally give in and let her deplete her savings to buy a stuffed seal wearing an "I heart SF" T-shirt.
With family all over the country, we travel a lot and Grace, 6, loves the idea of souvenir shopping. She falls prey to every tourist trap she steps in and by the time she slides into home she's traded all her hard-earned money for a few overpriced plush animals and plastic, logo-emblazoned tchotchkes.
A few hours after the seal purchase, buyer's remorse sets in when she sees something she really wants -- a magic set in a toy store.
"Honey, you already spent your money. But the good news is you can work for some more, save it up, and get the magic set next time," I console.
"But I needed a souvenir," she says referring to the stuffed seal.
That's when it dawns on me that, Grace, a collector by nature, feels compelled to commemorate. But it's time that I teach her that memories are not about stuff -- they're about experiences.
"Okay, I have an idea," I say as she wistfully follows me out of the toy shop. I give her a little plastic shopping bag and tell her that I want her to collect things to symbolize all the special things we do in the city that day -- but without spending any money. I give her a tip to go back into the magic shop and ask for a business card which she excitedly procures and adds to the bag.
Over the course of the afternoon she adds a seagull feather, ticket stubs from the ferry, a fortune from a fortune cookie, and assorted ephemera. That night I reveal the plan to create "San Francisco In a Box" using all her found objects and a shadowbox frame.
When we get home, I use a San Francisco map as the backdrop on which to glue and tape our treasures. Grace rummages through her stuffed animals to find the "I heart SF" seal.
"Now, he won't miss his home so much," she laughs as she places him next to our homemade homage to the City by the Bay.

Saving Memories -- and Money
thank you for sharing this ideal.our family collect things from our trips or vacation and put them in a photo album we have collected everything from postcards,pictures,lottery tickets,keys ring,etc that will on our page and the kids write a sentence or paragraph bout the fun they had on our vacation
We too collect a Christmas ornament from vacation, and I too am a scrapbooker. I've often wondered what to do with the 'larger' things that we collect from our trip . . . menus, shells, brochures, etc. The shadow box is a great idea !! Thank you for sharing.
We collect Christmas ornaments that are reminiscent of places we visit. Some of our more unusual ones are a miniature crab trap from Annapolis, Maryland and a tiny sombrero from Mexico. Friends also give me ornaments as gifts such as painted wooden dolls from Russia and wooden shoes from Amsterdam. I, too, am a collector by nature and this allows me to satisfy that urge while keeping the clutter down. We've been doing this for many years now and are able to decorate a 6 foot tree all the way around, top to bottom, without a single traditional glass ball ornament. I am currently compiling a journal describing when and where we acquired each ornament for my kids for when they are adults and it's time to thin the herd.
This is a fantastic article! I am a scrapbooker, so I'm a saver of memories and anything that goes along with them, and I think I have rubbed off on my daughter in that aspect also. She likes to save things regarding memories of places. She isn't quite interested in making a scrapbook just yet, but I think this would be a great idea for her to preserve her memories of our vacations! This would also be a neat idea for a conversation piece on the coffee table in your home.
At the recommendation of his first grade teacher, my son kept a journal of a family trip that kept him out of school for a few extra days of vacation. We brought along a simple composition book, a glue stick, and colored pencils, and he faithfully jotted a few sentences every day, sometimes gluing a ticket stub or postcard to the page, other times doing his own drawing. It was an instant souvenir, ready to show off to his teacher and friends the day he returned.
Every place my family goes, each of the kids get to pick out a patch from that place. I then attach the patch to a special blanket for each of them. That way they have a record of every place they've ever visited and it takes up very little space.
Whenever we go on vacation, the kids are allowed to choose a related book as a souvenir. We are a reading family, and this way, we get to relive our vacation every time we open its pages.

Community Pool Workshop Set For Thursday September 5th, 7:30PM
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 04 September 2013 17:03
- Written by Super User
Rendering of a proposed 204,000 gallon, 25 yard, 8-lane, NCAA compliant swimming pool to be located adjacent to the Town's recreation center. The Town's Pool Committee will hold public workshops on September 5th and 13th to solicit feedback on the proposal.
By WILLARD KILLOUGH III
Managing Editor
CAROLINA BEACH - A proposal for a new Carolina Beach Aquatics Center is still in the planning process and the Town will hold a couple of public workshops in September to solicit feedback from the public.
A workshop was previously held August 19th. The next will be Thursday, September 5th at 7:30 pm at the Carolina Beach Recreation Center behind Town Hall and Friday, September 13th at 11:00 am at the Katie B Hines Senior Center on Cape Fear Blvd.
In April the Carolina Beach Community Pool Steering Committee gave a presentation to the Town Council on a proposal to build a swimming pool adjacent to the Town's Recreation Center behind Town Hall on land already owned by the Town. The Council approved the next step in the process to complete the final construction drawings and obtain all final bids and structure a loan and terms with the Local Government Commission.
Highlights include a 204,000 gallon, 25 yard, 8-lane, NCAA compliant swimming pool complemented by a zero entry shallow end, ADA accessible ramp, and 9' diving well. The facility would be open in the Summer and covered by a "bubble" enclosure in the winter for year-round use. Access to the facility will be through the existing rec center entryway and a covered walkway that leads to the pool. Leveraging the existing check-in desk would reduce the annual admin cost of running the facility. It would also include locker rooms, storage building with an open design, separate admin counter that can be utilized for concessions, and a family changing room.
The committee sent out surveys in utility bills earlier this year and held community meetings including one at the Katie B. Hines Senior Center.
Committee member Duke Hagestrom said, "The majority of the community has expressed interest in a swimming pool – 55% percent are in favor which is much larger than the typical 30% in most average communities according to the USA Swimming "Build a Pool" workshop. A large number of those who said "No" had a caveat that they would be in support of the facility if it wouldn't be a burden to tax payers. Another group that said "No" indicated their displeasure with some of the Town's infrastructure and water quality."
Hagestrom explained, "As highlighted in the Town's Park and Rec Master Plan, the NRPA and NCDENR suggest a pool for every 20,000 residents. There are over 70,000 residents between Pleasure Island and the closest YWCA pool."
Hagestrom said parking can be accommodated on site and for large events parking could be facilitated at the neighboring church or other nearby locations.
He said, "Cost of construction is estimated to range from approximately $900,000 to $1.15 million. Cost of operations is estimated to range from $289,000 to $314,000 per year. Income is estimated to range from $232,000 to $366,000 per year."
He said the Rec Center currently has over 1,500 members and revenue projections were based on checking with other pools in the area and using conservative estimates of between 30 and 50% of the revenue they can achieve. He said, "The bottom line is our most likely scenario would see the Town breaking even with a swing of about $50,000 one way or the other."
Fees would be higher for non-residents. Infrequent users could purchase passes while frequent users could purchase membership packages of $200 for resident individuals and $340 for resident families for year round use. Also, a 15% discount for seniors, 20% discount for members of the pool and rec center and visitor passes for guests of $10 per person or $30 per family. Revenues would also be generated by various programs such as scuba diving classes and swim team events.
During that April meeting Councilman Shuttleworth said, "The reality is the Town could write a check. That option hasn't been fully vetted. The Town is required by law, by state statute, to have an 8% reserve. The Town charter was amended to make it 40%.
The Town currently has a 52% reserve. The Town could, and Council hasn't had a willingness, but the Town could and has the wherewithal to do that. The Town currently holds a 6% debt ratio compared to its lending capacity. Although the numbers may look large, in fact with the tax rate last year being under revenue neutral, the Town is in a position to do that." He said, "For me it is a quality of life issue."
Shuttleworth said to get the final drawings he guessed it would cost $15,000 to $20,000.
Shuttleworth said in order to know what the loan amount is, the final construction documents and bids have to come first. After that the Council would have to vote to approve moving forward with financing.
Town Manager Bruce Shell said the bottom line question from the Local Government Commission is if the revenues are not there, and there's a loss, how are you going to pay for that. The answers is, the Town would be prepared to absorb that shortfall. You can't abandon the asset once you have the debt.

I decided to go ahead and finish this one up tonight. I wanted to get it off the to-do list finally!
I plan on cleaning it up with some sanding, then potentially casting it. I also plan on writing up a background and doing more customs of this nature. Since the name has come up more than once and it seems to fit well, this one is now known as "Bio-Buildman" ;)
Very, very cool. Like the name too.
Looks good! Do you use sculpting wax, or epoxy putty?
Thanks! I used apoxie sculpt for my customs.
After thinking about it over the weekend, I'll be doing a pre-order limited run on this first Bio-Buildman, both whole and broken down. That way people can order the figure or their favorite bits. I'll announce the pre-sale window this week.
Hailing from the murky marshes of Sesar IV, the Bio-Buildman are an organically reptilian race of hunters. Upon hatching, they're left to tend to themselves. While young, the Bio-Buildman live on instinct that turns to cunning shrewdness as they age. Each Bio-Buildman's carapace armor and weaponry grows specifically to the survival needs of each individual.
The planet of Sesar IV is full of ever-changing alliances of Bio-Buildman. But one thing remains clear to all who've tried to lay their claim to Sesar IV, the Bio-Buildman will unite and crush any foe that encroaches on their territory.
I went ahead and setup the pre-order for the first Bio-Buildman last night. I'm selling both complete and the individual parts that make up the Bio-Buildman. This will be a limited run and I'll only be casting enough to fill the pre-orders plus a few for me to customize later down the road.
Head over to the Gorilla Mouth SHOP to nab yours before the pre-sale window closes.

The state's new local control funding formula is bringing sweeping changes to the ways schools are funded and how K-12 districts are held accountable. The Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) is a required component of the new funding formula. The District's LCAP was written and developed with input from parents, staff, students and community members.

2013-2014 Back to School Letter
Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome back to the 2013-14 school year!
Staff Changes for 13-14
Angie Thomas is joining our Mira Monte staff this year as the Library Media Coordinator replacing Teresa Perry. Angie has two students at Mira Monte, one at Matilija, and a 4th child at Nordhoff. She's a busy lady! We're excited to have Angie join the Mustangs.
Sharon Michels will continue her leave of absence in order to help care for her husband. We are happy to have Nadine Litonjua return as Ms. Michel's long-term substitute. Ms. Litonjua did an excellent job last year teaching third grade from November through June.
Kimari Foote and Megan Prather will return to support our combination classes by teaching 2nd and 4th grade language arts and math. Their support will help eliminate almost all of our combination classes during these subject areas.
Lauren Mangis, our after school Reading Plus and afternoon English language arts teacher will not be returning. She has decided to substitute teach in multiple school districts in order to hopefully get her foot in the door. As you may be aware, teaching jobs are currently hard to come by. We will be looking for a new hourly teacher to teach these programs.
Facility Upgrades
If you belong to the Mira Monte School Facebook group, you know that a new fence was installed around the kindergarten yard. This has been a parent request for many years. It is quite a fence. Thank you, PTO and Watkin's Fencing.
The next time you walk into the office you are sure to notice an additional change. The office door now swings out instead of in. This is going to make entering and exiting the office so much more pleasant for everyone!
School Beginning and Ending Times
Our schedules this year will be the same as last year. Our Kid's Club Extended Day program will once again be available to cover any childcare needs between 7AM and 6PM.
Before school playground supervision begins daily at 8:00AM.
Transitional (aka Junior Kindergarten) Kindergarten – mandated for students born Sept.2nd - Dec. 2nd : 8:20 – 12:05 daily
Kindergarten: 9:00 – 2:00 daily
Kindergarten English Language Learners: 8:20 – 9:00 daily
Kindergarten Remedial Support (for identified students): 2:00 – 2:45 daily, except Wednesday
First – Third: 8:20- 2:45 Monday and Friday
8:20 – 2:00 Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
2:00 – 2:45 English Language Learner and Remediation programs will take
place on Tuesday and Thursday
Parents of students attending this program will be contacted.
Note: These programs will be taught by staff other than the regular
classroom teachers. Classroom teachers will be using this time for lesson planning.
Fourth – Sixth: 8:20 – 2:45 daily except Wednesday (2:00 dismissal)
Before and After School Care – We have two goals, provide childcare during hours that best meet the needs of our parents and keep the cost low. The number to call for questions regarding this program is 798-7283. For your convenience the registration form is enclosed. Families ending the year with a negative balance will not be allowed to register until their fees are paid in full.
Note: In the event the fees do not cover the cost of running the program, the fees will be increased.
Childcare begins the first day of school.
Students should expect to participate in some type of PE activity on a daily basis. If you will be shoe shopping for school, please purchase shoes that will be appropriate for PE participation. Tennis shoes with arch support would be the best. Skateboard type shoes offer little to no support.
If your child needs to be excused from PE due to health problems, please send a note to school specifying the dates you wish to have them excused. Miss Prather will be asking for a doctor's note after two days of parent notes.
Our PTO does a great job raising money to fund programs at our school. Please see the attached form for information regarding funds we need to initially collect from everyone to cover a few costs. Shortly after the beginning of the school year, PTO will be sending home their beginning of the year letter. Watch for information coming home soon regarding our PTO Direct Appeal fundraiser. There will be a small change to this year's appeal. Donors will be given the option of applying their donations to specific programs/purchases.
Art Trek
After much discussion and researching alternate programs, PTO plans to continue the Art Trek program this year. We are asking for a donation of $10.00 per student in order to cover the cost of materials and training. Each classroom will need at least one parent volunteer to run their Art Trek program. With larger class sizes in K-3, teachers may be requesting two parents. Please consider partnering with a friend to become an Art Trek docent.
Student Planners
Students in grades 4-6 are asked to purchase an annual planner to be used for organizational purposes throughout the year. The planner cost is $5.00.
Calendar and Schedules
You will be provided with a folder containing important information and schedules when you attend the Fall Parent Orientation on Sept. 8th. Information is also available on our website and weekly through the eMustang Message. To sign-up for the eMustang Message, please send an email to: email@example.com asking to have your email address included.
Note: Due to furlough day changes made after the folder content was submitted, checking the OUSD website to confirm the non-school furlough days is recommended.
Bus Schedules: Please check the district website for changes in the bus schedule. The bus schedule will also be posted on our office window.
Student Pick-up and Drop-off
Our 6th grade Leadership Club students will be directing the traffic in the parking lot before and occasionally after school.
The traffic flow is always a problem after school. The earlier dismissal time on Tuesdays and Thursdays for students in grades K-3 helps. Please turn right when exiting the parking lot.
Students are to be loaded into the cars either in the unchained area past the crosswalk along the lane closest to the lunch area or along the lane closest to the chain link fence running down the center of the parking lot. If parents pull all the way forward AND stay in their cars, we will be able to quickly load the car and get the cars moving. Note: If your child is frequently late getting to the pick-up area, please come later and/or park your car in a designated parking area.
For student safety, please refrain from cell phone usage while driving in the parking lot.
Please do not park in the bus lane or the staff parking area next to the bus lane near the kindergarten playground.
Classroom Assignments
Class lists by student identification number will be posted on the office window after 5:00PM on Monday, August 26th. Your child's ID number is included on the address label of this envelope.
6th Grade Leadership
First trimester Leadership students were announced before the end of the school year. Parent permission slips were due before the school year ended. If your name is not on the list posted on the window it is because your leadership form was not received by the office. Students on the are needed to help the first day of school beginning at 7:15. You will be helping to direct parents and students.
We are currently interviewing for a new elementary music teacher for this year. 6th graders completed a "What instrument do you want to play next year?" at the end of 5th grade. We'll review the surveys with the students during the first week of school. Nick Rail instrument rental night will be held at Mira Monte School on September 17th at 5pm. In addition to instruments rented from Nick Rail, Mira Monte School and OUSD own some instruments. These instruments will be rented to students. Rental priority will be to students participating in the free or reduced lunch program. It is our hope that the new teacher will also be able to teach 6th grade chorus for the students not playing an instrument and 4th & 5th grade piano lab.
School Support
As you are all too aware, funding for education has been drastically reduced. We need all of our parents to participate in our passive fundraisers.
If you have not signed up for the Vons eScrip program, please log onto www.escrip.com to register Mira Monte School as the beneficiary of the percentage of your spending. If you shop at Target, please consider doing the same with their program. Office Depot also offers this type of a passive fundraiser. There is no cost to you! PTO will announce other no cost fundraising efforts throughout the year.
We have outstanding teachers who work extremely hard. Please help them by volunteering. Participating in the classroom is not the only way a parent can volunteer. Teachers need parents willing to make phone calls, submit book orders, collate papers, etc. If you are willing to help, please let your child's teacher know. If there are grandparents in your family willing to donate time, please send them our way!
Each grade level sent home a supply list at the end of the year. If you have misplaced your list or are new to our school, lists are available on the school website or in the sign-in desk in front of the office.
After reviewing our end of the year parent survey and looking for ways to improve our school, we are making a change to the office phones. PTO has agreed to fund a couple extra hours per day of office support. This will help us to allow callers direct access to our office staff. We would still like to encourage you to use the automated voicemail options (attendance messages, misc. non-urgent info.) when possible to reduce the interruptions. Please avoid last minute plans that require our office staff to locate your child.
If your child has an appointment and needs to leave the classroom at a designated time, please send a note. If your child is absent or tardy, please use the automated system. If we don't hear from you by note or message, your child's absence will be considered unexcused. Three unexcused absences will result in a warning attendance letter from our school district. Please remember to clear the absence. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
See you soon!

The Jim Harbaugh-Browns story continues to rumble along and we're left with a spectrum of possible explanations for why this information is out there. Mike Florio broke this story, claiming a deal was in place that at least involved some picks. He subsequently went on 95.7 The Game to discuss the story, and he basically doubled-down on it. He absolutely guaranteed his story is accurate, and then spent most of the interview offering up nothing more than speculation.
Since the story published, Jed York has denied the report, going on Twitter to say "Report isn't true." Since that tweet, we've seen some tweets from various media claiming they had heard some rumblings about this, but either didn't think it was true, or couldn't get sources to confirm.
Early this evening, Peter King sent out this tweet:
I am told the 49ers never discussed trade terms for coach Jim Harbaugh with Cleveland brass.
— Peter King (@SI_PeterKing) February 22, 2014
That doesn't tell us a whole lot, but it's one more little tidbit. Jed York denied PFT's report that a deal was in place, but that leaves open plenty of room for there having been some kind of discussion about the topic. If any discussion occurred, we don't know who was involved, which makes it all the more mysterious. We're left with a certain vacuum about what is going on, and it will subsequently be filled with endless speculation.
We've heard multiple reports in the past about how there is some tension between Jim Harbaugh and Trent Baalke. If we continue to see various rumors thrown out there like this, it's hard not to see more to this issue. That of course leads to questions about Jim Harbaugh's future, and whether or not the team will get a deal done for an extension. There is some talk about whether the team will give him top of the line money without a Super Bowl, or if they'd prefer a more incentive-laden deal.
But then, there's also the question of if Jim Harbaugh wants more power. If he wants more personnel power, there is always the chance a power struggle results in either Harbaugh or Baalke departing. And of course, going to a place like Cleveland could have given Harbaugh a chance to potentially prove he could build his own squad. This is all speculation, and he's obviously not going to Cleveland at this point. While the Browns are out of the picture, the whole situation remains unsettled.
This kind of thing is why I think it can be easier operating as a beat writer. They can view this story from a relatively objective lense. It creates a lot of controversy, and thus content. While Niners Nation can benefit from this controversy, it doesn't make it easier for me as a 49ers fan. I operate this site from the mindset of a fan, not an objective journalist. These kinds of stories are difficult to write about because of how much I feel like I have invested in this team as a fan. It's similar to covering the team after losses, particularly big losses. When the 49ers have lost their final game of the season the last three years, it has been absolutely brutal. I have a hunch it is not quite the same emotional impact for the beat writers. And thus, it is the same for a story like this given all that Harbaugh has brought to us as fans.
There will be some overreactions related to this story, but that's part of the nature of us being fans. We'll provide all the details as we find them, but we'll also have some slightly subjective opining on the matter!

County bed-block crisis worst in country again (From Bicester Advertiser)

County bed-block crisis worst in country again
9:10am Saturday 12th July 2014 in News
THE ratio of bed-blocked hospital patients is more than double a target, latest figures show.
Oxford University Hospitals NHS Trust clinical director Paul Brennan said delays "remain a major cause of concern".
Bed-blocked patients are ready to leave hospital but cannot because community services are not available.
Official figures show Oxfordshire was the worst area out of 151 in England in the 12 months to March.
May figures show 8.2 per cent of occupied beds were blocked against a 3.5 per cent target.
An average 128 were blocked at one time and the latest snapshot survey, on June 19, recorded that 104 were blocked.
Bed-blocking is a major concern for managers as delays can have a knock-on effect on other departments.
For example, people waiting in A&E can be delayed being taken to a bed as it is being taken by a bed-blocked patient.
Mr Brennan said daily staff conferences and a weekly "care summit" with social care and NHS staff was helping to tackle the issue.
Oxfordshire Clinical Commissioning Group, which decides where most NHS cash is spent, has pledged to cut delays at any one time to under 100 by next October.
It said "timely, efficient communications amongst those involved in a patient's care before and after discharge" is key between the NHS and Oxfordshire County Council, responsible for social services.

Andrew:Oxford says...
Apparently the CCGs don't like to criticise one another, but a major issue is when an individual is transferred to the JR or Churchill from hospitals in other "shires" for a specialist procedure.
Once the procedure is done and their recovery is progressing, they should be returned to the originating hospital...
Oddly enough the originating hospital will never *plan* to readmit the transferred patient on a standardised schedule, but will wait for the Oxford hospital to initiate a transfer back then obstruct for as long as possible.

the wizard says...
For example, people waiting in A&E can be delayed being taken to a bed as it is being taken by a bed-blocked patient.
People in A+E normally needing admission get transferred to AEU first where they can be kept for up to 24hrs, while a bed is being sorted. While staying in AEU they have a high standard of care, and tests and treatment is normally started there before being transferred to the wards. However the investigation should be more focused to look at re admissions after discharge. This is often due to the Registrar relying on follow up "out patients" appointments to finalize any issues.
Some medical teams under some JR consultants do not listen to carers concerns regarding the patient and get teams from other disciplines involved to get the patient the appropriate care and the mis management of these issues lead to re admission of the patient leading to more time being spent on a second or even third admission when if they had listened one admission would have been enough.

Pectus excavatum is a condition in which a person's breastbone is sunken into his or her chest. The chest bows inward instead of outward. In severe cases, pectus excavatum can look as if the center of the chest has been scooped out, leaving a deep dent.
While the sunken breastbone is often noticeable shortly after birth, the severity of pectus excavatum typically worsens during the adolescent growth spurt.
Also called funnel chest, pectus excavatum is more common in boys than in girls. Severe cases of pectus excavatum can eventually interfere with the function of the heart and lungs. But even mild cases of pectus excavatum can make children feel self-conscious about their appearance. Surgery can correct the deformity.
For many people with pectus excavatum, their only sign or symptom is a slight indentation in their chests. In some people, the depth of the indentation worsens in early adolescence and can continue to worsen into adulthood.
In severe cases of pectus excavatum, the breastbone may compress the lungs and heart. Signs and symptoms may include:
While the exact cause of pectus excavatum is unknown, it may be an inherited condition because it sometimes runs in families.
Pectus excavatum can occur in conjunction with other medical conditions, such as:
Pectus excavatum is more common in boys than in girls.
Severe cases of pectus excavatum can compress the lungs and push the heart over to one side. Even mild cases of pectus excavatum can result in self-image problems.
Heart and lung problems
If the depth of the breastbone indentation is severe, it may reduce the amount of room the lungs have to expand. This compression can also squeeze the heart, pushing it into the left side of the chest and reducing its ability to pump efficiently.
Self-image problems
Children who have pectus excavatum also tend to have a hunched-forward posture, with flared ribs and shoulder blades. Many are so self-conscious about their appearance that they avoid activities, such as swimming, where the indentation in their chests is more difficult to camouflage with clothing.
If you or your child has pectus excavatum, you might first discuss the matter with your family doctor. He or she may refer you to a doctor who specializes in orthopedic surgery.
What you can do
You may want to write a list that includes:
What to expect from your doctor
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
Pectus excavatum can usually be diagnosed simply by examining the chest. But your doctor may suggest several different types of tests to check for associated problems with the heart and lungs. These tests may include:
Pectus excavatum can be surgically repaired, but surgery is usually reserved for people who have moderate to severe signs and symptoms. People who have mild signs and symptoms may be helped by physical therapy. Certain exercises can improve posture and increase the degree to which the chest can expand.
If you have mild pectus excavatum, your doctor may want to re-evaluate you every six to 24 months, to make sure your symptoms haven't worsened.
Types of surgery
If you have moderate to severe pectus excavatum, your doctor may suggest surgery. The two most common types of surgeries used to correct pectus excavatum differ by the size of the incisions used:
Comparable risks and outcomes
Both the Ravitch and Nuss procedures have been revised and improved over the years. While the Ravitch technique takes longer to complete, the Nuss procedure typically results in a longer hospital stay. Success rates are higher at hospitals that perform more of these types of surgeries.
Most people who undergo surgery to correct pectus excavatum are happy with the change in how their chests look, no matter which procedure is used. Either procedure also improves heart function. Best results are achieved when the surgery is performed after the age of 8 and before the end of adolescence, but adults also have benefitted from these types of surgeries.
Most adolescents just want to fit in and look like their peers. This can be exceptionally difficult for youngsters who have pectus excavatum. In some cases, counseling may be needed to help master coping skills. Online support groups and forums also are available, where you can talk with people who are facing the same types of problems.

Rickie Fowler and Hunter Mahan turned in strong opening rounds at the 2011 Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill, leading the pack at 3-under. Both were able to eagle hole No. 16, making up for a trio of bogeys earlier in the day by each. Somebody may need to think about adjusting the par on hole No. 16.
Spencer Levin and Erik Compton have the best chances to overtake the day-one lead, sitting at 3-under with nine and four holes respectively to go, including that FRRREE MONEY hole No. 16.
Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson have ground to make up, with Woods way back in the even-par pack after seven holes. Mickelson is in much better shape with his complete first round in the bag, tied for fifth at 2-under.
