Initiative 594 would broaden background checks to include all gun sales. Initiative 591 would bar such a change in law until a new national standard were in force. But in a survey released Tuesday, the Elway Poll found 72 percent were likely to support I-594 with 19 percent opposed; at the same time, 55 percent were likely to support the contrary measure I-591 and 33 percent were opposed, pollster Stuart Elway said.
"If the election were today, Washington voters would create some work for the state Supreme Court by passing conflicting measure on background checks for gun sales," Elway's poll report says diplomatically.
Both measures were circulated a year ago as initiatives to the Legislature, and each similarly strong numbers of signatures to qualify - but both go to the November ballot because the Legislature declined to act on either.
National groups and financing are expected on both sides of both measures in what is shaping up as a major ballot fight. Backers of I-594 have raised $1.67 million, while backers of I-591 have raised $728,326, according to data on file at the state Public Disclosure Commission.
In a bid to clarify the apparent voter confusion, Elway says the survey team asked voters if they favored more extensive background checks on gun sales, and a clear 62 percent majority said they did. Yet half of those voters said they would vote for I-591, which – given the inability of Congress to enact legislation on such a hot subject as gun control – makes such a thing almost impossible to accomplish.
Elway's poll put questions to 501 registered Washington voters during April 9-13, and 29 percent were using cell phones. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 4.5 percent.Elway said the 62 percent support for background checks "could represent a significant decline in support for background checks. And yet 72 percent intend to vote for I-594 to expand background checks.'' He said more confusion is around I-591.
The polling detected divides along ideological and political party lines – with Republicans saying by 74 percent to 20 percent that "protecting gun rights was more important than controlling gun ownership." Independents also put gun rights first by a 55 percent to 34 percent margin. By contrast, Democrats favored "controlling gun ownership over protecting gun rights" by a 66 percent to 24 percent margin, Elway wrote.
The pollster found what he called strong majorities of each camp in favor of expanding background checks.
The questions broke along gender lines, too. Men put gun rights ahead of background checks by 54 percent to 37 percent while a slim 47 percent to 44 percent majority of women took that view.
Just 35 percent of those polled owned guns, and yet 62 percent favored expanded background checks and 71 percent said they intended to vote for I-594.

The first user type can see everyone apart from the site admin,
The second user type can't see anyone else but can receive a friend request from the other user type(which can see them all), they can still chat together between the user types. Also need to make it so that the second user type can only accept 1 friend request.
Lastly on a different site could you make it so that 1 user type can create groups but the other user type can't create groups.

Humane Society rescues 23 puppies from Alabama
Date: June 2, 2009
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The Suncoast Humane Society has taken in 23 rescued puppies from Alabama, after it responded to a call from help from the Macon County Humane Society.
Four puppies were left in a box next to a dumpster. Four were abandoned alongside a road. Four were surrendered by a person who was unable to pay for their care anymore. And the rest were rescued from a facility that had planned to euthanize them.
All the puppies have been bathed, spayed or neutered and microchipped and are available for adoption for a $75 fee. Call the Suncoast Humane Society at 941-474-7884 for more information.

No one will argue that change is hard. We can also all agree that to survive, we have to change and adapt.
One healthcare insurer was struggling with balancing employee autonomy with cost and service efficiencies. This insurer had a number of policies that gave employees flexibility in their workday. They could choose to start anytime between 7:00 and 9:30 a.m. They could take their breaks and lunches whenever they wanted, with whomever they wanted. So, often times, a whole department might go to lunch at the same time, leaving the phones unattended.
Unfortunately, this was causing the insurer to miss service goals and the metrics mandated by a regulatory agency. The average time to answer a call (ASA) should have been 45 seconds, but they were experiencing wide ranges in ASA—from 31 seconds on a good day, to 131 - 142 seconds on bad days.

This petition calls on the Middletown School District Board of Education to reverse the suspension of high school art teacher Pete Panse. It demands specifically the immediate reinstatement of Mr. Panse to his position as art teacher at Middletown High Scool, NY, and public acknowledgement from the Board of Education that the practice of teaching figure drawing including nude models by advanced art students does not constitute any kind of sexual impropriety, nor does recommending such practice to students.

Stateroom: Our stateroom was great with plenty of storage space. There was room for a third person and by no means would this have changed anything. We didn't even use up all the space provided. We knew we might have a slight problem with noise because we were one deck above the promenade deck. We were right above the Casino bar so the music was going until 12:30 every night. It didn't bother us even when we were in the cabin for the night, but it would definitely be something to keep in mind if you don't like noise.
Entertainment: The entertainment was fantastic. Not as good as other cruises we've been on, but great just the same. The cruise director, Felipe, was one of the best we've ever seen on a ship. He was funny, fun and kept everyone pumped up for whatever was going on. The dancers were fantastic and the singers were great as well. The comedians that were on board were okay but certainly nothing to write home about. We found that there was always something going on to please everyone throughout the days at sea. Trivia, wine pairings, mini-golf tournaments....you name it, they had it.
Dining: The food was alright, but slightly on the bland side. My biggest disappointment with the dining was that I asked several times for the amount of carbohydrates in one of the items that was regularly on the menu in order to calculate my insulin dosage for my diabetes, and was told each time by the Maitre D' that she would come back to me with an answer. She never did. I guess it bothered me more than it normally would because there was another passenger with a different health issue who she came to see every night so that they could modify the meal he chose. Found the breakfast food a little on the greasy side, but lunches were fantastic and there was tons of variety. I was disappointed that I didn't get to try them all!
Excursions: We enjoyed just about all of them with the exception of a city tour in Nassau. One thing we really enjoyed was "Behind the Fun" that was offered on the last day at sea. We went throughout the ship, kitchen galley, theater, engine room, and on the bridge and met the captain. It was absolutely amazing. There were little perks for doing this excursion, but I don't want to give it away in case anyone is considering it. A touch on the expensive side, but we found it worthwhile.
We thought that this cruise was good value for our money and would definitely go back with Carnival again.

A Holly Springs woman and foster parent is facing two felony counts of child abuse, according to police.
Prudence Charlyne Shivers, 42, was arrested Feb. 1 and charged with two counts intentional child abuse inflicting serious injury, according to an arrest report.
Authorities say Shivers was a foster parent at the time of incidents. The two victims were ages 4 and 6. Police say the 4-year-old had multiple lacerations to the back, stomach and buttock. The 6-year-old had multiple lacerations to the head, face and buttock.
Police went to the home on a referral from Child Protective Serivices. Police say the children are believed to be Shivers' nephews.
Shivers posted a $60,000 bond on Feb. 1 after being arrested.
Shivers has two biological teen-aged children that will remain in her custody, but the foster children have been removed from the home. Shivers has also been instructed to not come in contact with children under the age of 16 without supervision.

Report slams 'failing' Monmouthshire education
Updated 8:33am Thursday 21st February 2013 in News
A DAMNING report into Monmouthshire's education department today sees it placed into special measures. Education reporter NATALIE CROCKETT has the story.
MONMOUTHSHIRE'S education department is failing, school inspectors have found.
Assessors Estyn judged the council's services for children and young people unsatisfactory because the progress pupils make year on year from primary to secondary school is well below average, the overall number of days lost to fixed term exclusions was too high, and the arrangements for supporting and challenging schools were not robust enough.
It said its capacity to improve was unsatisfactory because councillors did not receive the information they need to hold services to account and self evaluation is not rigorous enough. As a result is has been placed in special measures and the Welsh Government will be informed.
The report highlights that performance in Monmouthshire schools is above the average for Wales and its primary schools are among the best in Wales.
But the area has the second lowest rate of free school meals in the country and when this low level of deprivation is taken into account, performance compared with similar schools has remained well below the average for the last four years.
The percentage of youngsters leaving school with no qualifications is worse than the Welsh average and the gap between girls and boys performance at key stage 3 and GCSE level was larger than that in the rest of Wales.
The percentage of learners remaining in full time post-16 education remains the best in Wales but the number of those not in education, employment or training has reduced at a slower pace than Wales as a whole.
In recent years officers have not challenged schools rigorously enough to make sure they improve sufficiently and targets set with schools have not been effective in raising standards. As a result schools are not always clear on what they need to do to get better.
Not enough is being done to help schools meet the needs of pupils with additional learning needs and training for teachers and teaching assistants in this field is limited.
The authority has well-developed policies in place to combat bullying, but more could be done to help schools understand cyber bullying.
The council's arrangements for safeguarding children do not meet requirements and give serious cause for concern.
The report says while all staff undergo criminal checks, processes to check for updates are not rigorous and it does not have a procedure in place to check that outside agencies who work with young people have appropriate safeguarding policies in place.
Although the authority had the lowest level of school reserves in Wales, too many schools have deficit budgets, and while the council has given funding to improve literacy and numeracy, it cannot demonstrate the impact of improvement because the schemes have not been consistently evaluated.
The report concludes that given the level of funding and the outcomes achieved overall, the education service provides unsatisfactory value for money.
The council must now come up with an action plan for improvement and a inspectors will visit the authority regularly to report on progress. If none is found the Welsh Government can appoint others to run it.

Perhaps one problem that migh remain iss the one of school closures. Currently we have far tp many surpus schools and politicians and education authorties tend to ignore it as it is always controversial. Everyone wants their school to sdtay open so nothing tend to be done or it drags on over sseveral years leaving schoools in limbo.

You would not think so reading that post.
I think for someone who can barely string a sentence together which is not full of grammatical and spelling mistakes you really should not be commenting on educational matters, best leave that to those who had an education, Bob!

The mantra "It's not where we work but what we do" has been repeated ad infinitum, however the focus on what we do has been lost.
Increasingly MCC is involved in partnerships to deliver services, but it oes not lead in any of these, rather it dances to others tunes e.g. the Gwent Frailty Project where the gains are in the NHS.
By losing sight of the primary aims of a council, delivery of high class services to residents, and concentrating on an image of a progressive and media savvy council the plot has been lost.
Councillors are as responsible as senior management with inovation and ground breaking being the waych words rather than Quality and Service.
Responsibility must be accepted by those at the top who allowed the LEA to fail so badly, rather than blaming teachers and governors whio do no get the support which they deserve.
Clearly the Cabinet member responsible should resign having supervised a catastrophic failure within her remit.
Should the Welsh Government become directly involved? If it refocusses on delivering the education that the children of Monmouthshire deserve Yes.
But expect this to be spun as an exciting new collaborative venture in which Monmouthshire leads the way.

Instead of spending all their time on twitter and coming up with nonsense like monmoutpedia why don't they refocus their core business on delivering the services the public need and cutting the cloth accordingly?
The member who has overseen this calamity needs to go ASAP as they were obviously content to stand by and watch this disaster while raking in their "expenses".

As for Welsh speakers in Monmouthshire, there is quite a sizeable section of the population who speak Welsh, I don't, but know many who do. Look at the history of Monmouthshire for the reasons Welsh was squeezed out of being the main everyday language and you will see the truth.
Not a surprise and the ridiculous compulsory teaching of Welsh in a county that has no history of Welsh speaking does not help. Welsh should not even be on the curriculum in my view as Monmouthshire in my view is part of England and 99.9% use English as a first language. Trying to force people on the borders to learn a third grade language such as Welsh is pointless and kids should be learning more worthwhile subjects. Welsh should be an afterthought. I understand why Welsh is relevant in the West of Wales and to a degree parts of the North of Wales but certainly anywhere east of Swansea it is pointless and irrelevant.

Welsh is taught because a lot of jobs in Wales demand knowledge of it.

If you want Welsh not to be taught in schools, then this would have to be changed". Hmm I would confidently predict there are more people in Monmouthshire that work in Hereford or Gloucestter than the Welsh speaking part of Wales.Why on earth should speaking Welsh matter in the business sector? English is the world language and always will be. I have nothing against the Welsh language however in a totally English speaking part of East Wales it is not relevant to the school curriculum. Children should be learning French German or Spanish instead.

What makes you think that the teaching of Welsh as a second language is any different in Monmouthshire to anywhere else in Wales. If this were the reason for the failing of this council then surely all the similar education authoriites would also be failing. Stupid suggestion. You obviously have no idea of the number of Welsh speakers in the north of the county in particular. Nevill Hall in particular provides services to a large number of Powys residents too with more and more need for Welsh speaking staff,especially for the elderly and young. South East Wales also has the highest percentage of Welsh learners. Welsh speakers move around Wales for jobs just like English speakers and don't live in caves in Snowdonia. They are allowed out you know.

After three consecutive title defenses, Ben Henderson is getting a reputation for keeping his fights close. Aside from his dominant victory over Nate Diaz at UFC On Fox 5, both his first defense against Frankie Edgar and his most recent fight against Gilbert Melendez have been two of the closest championship fights in recent memory. Regardless, with his split decision victory over Melendez tonight at UFC On Fox 7, Bendo tied the record of former Lightweight king B.J. Penn.
Tying the promotional record for title defenses wasn't enough for Henderson, though. Before Joe Rogan could get even get off his first question, Ben interrupted him saying, "I gotta go see about a girl." If this allusion is lost on any of you, go watch Good Will Hunting, now.
Of course, his then girlfriend and now fiance said "Yes." And Ben returned to finish his post-fight interview.

Dev and Ops Cooperation
John Allspaw and Paul Hammond did a great presentation at Velocity 2009 about the tools and culture at Flickr, which enable them to do 10+ deploys per day.
My favorite quote is:
Ops' job is NOT to keep the site stable and fast [but]
Ops' job is it to enable the business (this is the dev's job too)
The business requires change
They go on by presenting the dilemma of discouraging change in the interest of stability or allowing change to happen as often as it needs to. This is where they introduce their tools and culture for lowering the risk of change.
In this post I want to share with you how we use some of the tools John and Paul mention.
- Automated infrastructure: John and Paul say: "If there is only one thing you do…" and I couldn't agree more. Using tools like puppet, chef or one of the many they name in their presentation to automate the live cycle of your servers is a must. I used Capistrano as a basis and built my own tool on top of it, Carpet. And I cannot imagine to install or configure my servers by hand anymore. It's so much more robust and has so much less risk involved, I simply love it.
- Shared version control: We are using separate repositories for our code and our infrastructure recipes, but both are on the same github account and all team members have full access to both. As we're only three tech guys, everyone of us does dev and ops and knows both worlds.
- One step build and deploy: Rake and Capistrano give us the power of building and deploying our whole app with a single command. This is so much better than deploying with rsync or manually copying things around. And it enables us to do continuous integration with Hudson, which is very nice, too.
As we're such a small team, we're not using any IRC or IM robots. I'm planning to introduce feature flags to be able to fine tune which features are available to whom. This would give us a little more flexibility in operating the platform. Shared metrics are already underway, we're continuously enhancing our Nagios graphs adding technical and business metrics to them. Again something I would not like to work without anymore.
Enjoy the presentation…

I think it is crucial for small and large development teams to really wake up and realize the wealth of tools that are available to help them automate their standard processes from build, to test, and deploy.
The tools available today can give even the smallest teams the freedom to focus on what is important. Automate everything that can be, so that your creativity and efforts are focused where they need to be.

CATEGORIES Action, Horror, Independent, Sports, Casting, Deals, Lionsgate Films, Distribution, Cinematical Indie, Movies, CinematicalDid any of you know that there is such a thing as World Wresting Entertainment Films?! And that they've already got one movie in the can, and two others in the works? Christ, I had NO idea. As created by WWE overlord Vince McMahon, WWE Films have the stated purpose of creating vehicles for WWE wrestlers (oddly, they had nothing to do with Blade: Trinity, which starred a guy named Triple H), and will fully finance all projects as long as distribution is arranged before production begins.
Their first effort, a horror film called See No Evil, is due out May 19 and stars a large man called Kane; it's being distributed by Lionsgate, which also just agreed to handle WWE Film's newest project, The Condemned. Scheduled to begin shooting in a couple of weeks, the movie is another in the legion of titles that work off the Most Dangerous Game/Running Man evil-guy-hunting-humans riff. This one stars Steve Austin as a Stone Cold death row inmate who is "'purchased' by a wealthy TV producer, who pits him and nine other condemned men in a battle to the death." Vinnie Jones (soccer player, not wrestler) also stars, hopefully as the evil producer.
This is all The Rock's fault, isn't it?

Pendle students turn up the heat for big bake off
2:27pm Friday 8th February 2013 in Pendle
JUNIOR culinary experts have been inspired to come up with their own creations for the 'Great Pendle Bake Off'.
Students at Pendle Vale College were asked by teaching assistant Kath Parker to mirror the skills displayed by contestants on the popular BBC series, hosted by Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins.
And after enlisting the support of local master bakers, Oddies and Farmhouse Biscuits, the youngsters rose to the challenge.
A Pendle Vale spokesman said: "The students were extremely enthusiastic and had to complete a design sheet for a selection of cupcakes to their own flavourings and design."
The final 'bake off' took place under the watchful eyes of Bill Oddie and Andy Howes, from Oddies, and the judges gave marks for appearance, texture and taste. The winning cupcakes were made by Anam Batool, while Chloe Whitehead was runner-up. Each received prize hampers including bakeware and specialist ingredients donated by local supermarkets.

Norwich — Anthony Lafemina, the 32-year-old Norwich man whose alleged threats led to an eight-hour standoff with heavily armed city police on Tuesday, made his first appearance in Norwich Superior Court on Thursday.
Judge Thomas Moukawsher issued a protective order in the case, despite protests by the woman involved in the domestic disturbance incident and named as the protected party in the order, court records show.
Lafemina, who is free on bond, was also ordered to undergo substance abuse and mental health evaluations.
Police were called to Lafemina's 5 Great Plain Road home at about 2 a.m. Tuesday for reports of a domestic disturbance. Police called in their tactical unit after Lafemina initially refused to come outside and talk to officers and, according to police, threatened to harm the home and the officers outside.
Police successfully negotiated his peaceful surrender by 10:30 a.m. that morning.
Lafemina is charged with third-degree assault and second-degree breach of peace. The case was continued without a plea to Jan. 6.

With the 20th anniversary of Billy Martin's death on Christmas evening 1989 nearly upon us, it's a good time to look back on Martin's impact on the Yankees and his managing style. I recently put together a compilation of some of his former players talking about Martin, including a talk last year with Mike Pagliarulo about his time playing third base for Martin on the 1980s Yankees. As a way to look back on that day and Martin's career, here's Pags' memories of Martin:Q: How did you respond to Billy Martin, first as your coach on the Yankees, and then upon learning of his death?
A: I loved Billy Martin. That was a very sad day for me. I burst out crying when I heard the news.
He was the kind of guy who wasn't afraid to tell you what he thought of you. If I got one hit in a game and hit a couple other balls well, but they were caught, what he'd say to me was, "You dumb-ass dago, you can't get more than one hit." Billy was very honest.
I remember one day, a game against the Angels. It was 1985, my first full season. In the eighth inning I fielded a bunt, threw the ball to second, and the throw pulled the man off base. When I got back to the dugout, Billy was waiting on the top step, screaming at me, "What the hell were you thinking out there? That wasn't the right play." I didn't back down; I told him, "It was the right play, I just didn't make the throw."
A little while later Clete Boyer, our third base coach, says Billy wants to see me in his office. I'm thinking I'm going to get sent down, but Billy said, "Hey look, maybe you were right about that play." He didn't say "You're right," but he said maybe I was right. He was willing to admit he was wrong. Of course he added, "You dago son of a bitch, I'm only saying this because you're Italian."
Billy could see the field so completely; he knew what everybody was doing.

Survey shows fewer companies believe employees will have enough money for retirement.
Good news for employees: About 80% of medium-size and large companies that suspended or reduced their company match to 401k programs last year are planning to restore their matching contributions in 2010.
But, the same survey also showed that employers don't believe their employees have the ability to save enough for retirement and are looking for ways to help -- short of adding pension plans, of course.
Card issuers are supposed to consider a person's ability to pay before they issue a new card. But what does that really mean?
This guest post comes from Frank Curmudgeon at Bad Money Advice.
Most of the Credit CARD Act of 2009 -- that well-crafted and thoroughly thought through law that will fix all that is wrong about credit cards and allow us to carry guns in national parks -- comes into effect on Feb. 22. So it's time for bloggers like me to revisit the act, particularly some of the less widely discussed provisions, and tell our readers all about the big changes on the way.
WalletPop beat me to it last week with a post "Lenders plan to guess your income from credit report." It was about how the CARD Act "requires lenders to consider your ability to pay any new or additional debt before approving a credit card application." Apparently, that means verifying income, which puts a damper on those really annoying pitches you get to open a store-branded card whenever you try to buy something.
"Retail stores are quite upset about this change in the instant approval of their cards," Bill Hardekopf, CEO of LowCards.com, wrote to WalletPop by e-mail. "Consumers now need to show proof of income when they apply for a card, and not many of us carry this around when we are shopping in the mall."
This made me, briefly, optimistic that the CARD Act would improve my life after all.
Here's how the IRS picks tax returns to examine more closely.
This post comes from Jim Wang at partner blog Bargaineering.
Doing your taxes is never fun. Even if you ignore how you must spend a couple of hours filling out boring forms, finding documents and researching deductions, there's always the fear that you'll be audited. I remember having the most vanilla tax returns back when I was a teenager, the 1040-EZ, and even then I was irrationally concerned about an audit.
The reality is that very few people get audited -- just a couple percent each year -- and some of them deserve it. As much as we might like to think of the IRS as some cruel, emotionless monster trying to make the lives of hardworking Americans as miserable as possible, it's not. It's trying to collect tax revenue so the government can continue to provide the services hardworking Americans need.
- Bing: Biggest tax cheats
How does the IRS decide whom to audit? It's actually very straightforward.
Organic markets have been cutting prices. Should you buy?
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Going organic has become a lot less trendy in the struggling economy.
As consumers have cut back spending, one of the first places they've looked to save is in the organics aisle at the grocery store. Sixty percent of consumers say they have changed their organic purchasing habits since the recession hit, according to a December study from market researcher Mintel. Three percent have stopped buying organic altogether.
- Bing: Organic meat and poultry
The single biggest factor: price. Consumers have nicknamed Whole Foods "Whole Paycheck" for its high prices, and the store has struggled with that image over the last year, says Michelle Chang, an analyst who covers the supermarket industry for Morningstar. One thing that Whole Foods and other natural retailers have done to retain customers is cut prices to stay competitive. Whole Foods has also been pushing its lower-priced private label, which includes organics, she says.
When is the higher price of organics worth it? Here are five ways to shop within your budget:
A guide to using your coupon without demonstrating to the server that you're stupid or cheap.
Lots of restaurants are so desperate for business right now that dining coupons are relatively easy to come by. (And we help you locate them every week.) That being said, there's nothing wrong with using a little etiquette while you're getting 20% off, or two dinners for the price of one, or a free appetizer or piece of cheesecake.
It appears that some of you have been acting like jerks. Hanna Raskin observes in a post at Slashfood that "coupon users tend to be among the most impolite diners."
To avoid being that person, read her tips. Among them:
For most homeowners, insulation gives you the best bang for your buck, but you might want to start with an energy audit.
If you live in an older home, you may be looking at old windows, old doors, an old furnace and high power bills -- and wondering which improvement would save you the most money on energy costs.
Tax credits of up to $1,500 per homeowner, for 30% of the cost of energy-saving improvements, make 2010 a good year to tackle some of those jobs. But which ones will give you the best bang for your buck?
Looking for online love by Valentine's Day? How to avoid getting ripped off.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
Looking for someone to date can be as expensive as actually going out on one.
Subscribe to an online dating site and you can easily pay upward of $40 per month for membership; you'll pay more if you also want personalized coaching and other features to improve your odds of finding that special person. That adds up: The market for online dating is expected to reach $1.6 billion by 2013, up from $957 million in 2008, according to Forrester Research.
With online services reporting an increase in subscriptions, sites could raise their prices without losing customers, says Mark Brooks, principal consultant for Courtland Brooks, a consulting firm that works with the online dating industry. "By all accounts, online dating sites are leaving money on the table," he adds.
If you consider signing up as an investment in your future happiness, be sure to do your research before shelling out any cash:
Millions of people will overpay to file their taxes this year. Don't be one of them.
This post comes from Stacy Johnson at partner site Money Talks News.
Imagine owning a business where you charge people $50 to $200 to do something they could just as easily get totally free.
You would think such a business would be bankrupt in minutes, but you'd be wrong. Tax preparation and software services rake in hundreds of millions of dollars every year for tax help that could be had for nothing.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A Jeffersontown, Ky. man has been arrested after police say he was selling hallucinogenic mushrooms.
It happened Wednesday night.
Police say they got permission to search the apartment of 19-year-old Tanner W. Williamson, near the intersection of Taylorsville Road and Merioneth Drive, shortly after 9 p.m. on Wednesday.
According to an arrest report, police found hallucinogenic mushrooms packaged for sale, digital scales, $435 and a loaded shotgun. Police say Williamson admitted to selling the mushrooms.
When officers tried to place handcuffs on Williamson, he allegedly kicked his feet and flailed his arms, and had to be physically restrained. Police say he also had marijuana in his pocket.
Williamson was charged with trafficking in a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, resisting arrest and possession of marijuana.

The cabin was a surprise, one of the biggest we have stayed in for a regular inside cabin. The shower was big enough to actually use like a shower at home and I`m a 6 foot 240lb. guy.
The Paradise is the newest of Carnival`s fantasy class of ships. It`s still over 10 years old. All the action is on the top decks. Promenade, casino, theater, dining rooms all on decks 8 thru 10 which is the Lido deck.
Only port on this cruise is Cozumel, one of our favorite ports. You can do anything you want in Cozumel. Our favorite spot is Paradise Beach,a 10 minute cab ride, $13/couple. They have added a beautiful pool in the past year and charged a $2/person cover charge for the run of the facility. If you want to use the water toys in the ocean its an extra. Between the pool, the drinks, and the weather it was a perfect day.
The food on the lido was as expected. Carnival buffet food, you know what you are getting when you sign up.The dining room was a pleasant surprise. The food was better than I thought it would be. Our waiter,Sam was the best waiter we have ever had on Carnival. He was a real professional.
The CD was "Sparkles" not real enjoyable for my tastes. However, not a make or break for us on any cruise.
I wish they would go smoke free in the casino like the rest of the ship, but never going to happen. They want to keep as many people as possible in there playing as much as possible.
All in all a very relaxing 4 day cruise for a budget price. The debark was as easy as the embark.This cruise was worth the money and would do it again.

Study Abroad
University of Illinois
Monday, September 01, 2014
Choosing a study abroad program is an exciting and important part of your college experience. Many students begin by thinking about what sort of academic experience they want abroad. Students can work on improving communication skills in a foreign language, take classes in their major or minor, get elective credit, do an internship, volunteer and more. Think about what's right for you, and discuss it with your academic advisor. Following the steps below will keep you on track to making your study abroad experience a reality.
The choice is yours! If you would like to attend an in-person First Steps Info Session, they are held every Tuesday and Wednesday from 4 PM - 5PM in 101 International Studies Building while classes are in session.
The First Steps Info Session will encourage you to think about important things to consider before choosing a study abroad program. This includes academics, housing, duration, location, and cost. You will learn how to research a program, understand costs (there is information about scholarships and Financial Aid), and even how to apply!
If your schedule does not allow you to attend a live First Steps Info Session, watch the First Steps video series below instead!
What do you want your experience to be? What should you think about when deciding on the right program for you?
How do you find out more about the programs that you are interested in?
Cost Video: What should you know about cost when planning for your study abroad program?
Scholarships Video: What kind of scholarship opportunities are there for study abroad?
Financial Aid Video: What should you know about how financial aid works with study abroad?
Study Abroad and Federal Aid Guidelines
Cost, Financial Aid & Scholarships - Complete Video Notes (forthcoming)
How do you apply to your study abroad program?
If you think studying abroad is right for you and you would like to continue exploring programs online before you apply, create a Study Abroad Suitcase here:
Study Abroad Suitcase
By creating your Suitcase, you can save programs you like and read about them later. By saving a program to your suitcase, you will receive information about programs in that region and information on when to apply. Pack as many programs in your suitcase as you like! If you want your friends to know about a great program you found, click the "Share This" button on the online program brochure page and spread the word!
Peer Advisors are here to help you narrow down your options, choose a program, and answer questions about the application process. There may even be a Peer Advisor who has studied in a region or country you are interested in! Find them in the Study Abroad Office Resource Room (Room 112 International Studies Building, on the corner of Fifth and Chalmers). The Resource Room is open Monday - Friday from 9:00 AM - 4:45 PM--no appointment is needed! Click here to view the Peer Advisor schedule.
Peer Advisors are available all summer. If you have very specific questions about a program, call 217-333-6322 to make an appointment with a Study Abroad Advisor. Appointments are 20 minutes long, so please come prepared with questions to get the most out of your time with your Advisor.
Regional Info Sessions are put together by the Study Abroad Advisors and are designed to provide information about the different programs in their regional portfolio. Take a look at our Events and Deadlines calendar to see if there is a Regional Info Session coming up for a region you are interested in.

Excellent GPS with radio, but flies through batteries.
- Lightweight
- Great radio distance
- Very accurate
- Short battery life
- No Preloaded Maps
This little unit definitely gets the job done. It is very lightweight, but unfortunately you only get about 15-20 hours of battery life. This is due to having both a gps and a radio. Would have given it 5 stars but there are no loaded topo maps!
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome product! I used it with…
Price Paid: $160
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome product! I used it with great delight on my last trip into the woods. I was able to communicate via the radio with my non-RINO owning friends and using this piece of equipment is heaven on earth when it comes to the GPS aspect of the product. Get it now!

At my school, English is taught by two teachers. These two teachers are not native speakers.
a) At my school, English is taught by two teachers, neither of whom is a native speaker.
b) At my two teachers (,) who are not native speakers. (correct? Is the comma necessary ?)
c) At my two teachers, both of whom are not native speakers. (correct? Can we use "both" with negative?)
a and b are fine (I'd use a comma here) - both with a negative doesn't sound too good.

Book collections
The Library has its own classification scheme for
arranging books on the shelves; a typical classmark for an open-access book will consist of the
name of a subject (indicating a section of the library) followed by letters and numbers denoting
its classified position on the shelves in that section; e.g.

Some of the other main sections which contain relevant material are:

So I built a studio apartment in my parents' basement, and I needed a surface for my cappuccino maker: something sturdy, attractive, and multi-purpose. Baker's racks seemed to be the thing, so I did a lot of searching and researching reviews. The only thing I didn't like about this one was the wine rack - I might collect wine someday, but today is not that day. When one reviewer said the item could be assembled without the wine rack, I knew this was the one I wanted! It was so simple to put together, came with all the pieces in good shape and packed well. Installed, it is attractive and functional with plenty of room for my Cuisinart EM-100 and antique hand grinder. The hooks and removable top shelves hold my cups, and the wire shelves below double as structural support and storage space. Everyone who visits my space comments on how good it looks. Although the "wood" shelf is really particle board, it has withstood water and hot steam like a champ! If you're considering buying this, stop considering and buy it.
my hubbie put it together with no problem,,we chose to leave the wine rack off,,because i needed more space for my food processor and juicer and they both fit well, on the bottom shelf ,thanks
Love it, love it. Now have space off my kitchen counter top and able to display my large and medium appliances in a less cluster manner. I was able to put together in one and a half hours, (single woman).
This item was purchased for our Florida winter home. This was my 1st time ordering from Overstock and I was extremely pleased. This bakers rack was easy to assemble and all parts were there. The quality and overall appearance were excellent. I am very pleased with my purchase.
just received it today and set it up. Easy to assemble and a very nice looking rack - a good addition to my kitchen.
Looks great in my kitchen. Lots of space for canisters, coffee pot, cups, etc.
My Bakers Rack arrived so fast that I couldn't believe it!! Shipping was great and was packed very well. All the pieces were there and was a snap to assemble....all of one hour. Thank you Overstock! It looked just like the picture.
What a great value, we needed extra storage for our apartment's kitchen area and this adds it with shelves and the little baskets. Easy enough to assemble. Very pleased.
We bought this as a Christmas gift for my Mom. She was thrilled. It matches her dining set to perfection. So, the picture was "right on". My son and daughter-in-law put it together without much trouble.
Very easy to assemble, and looks awesome in my kitchen. Good space for the size.

Going by the manual I was trying to create my first Symbian Carbide.vs project.
Right after enabling the SDK (s60 3) I suddenly got a dialog box saying "Can not save AddIn properties to file z:\Carbide_vs\properties.xml". The reason for this is that drive z: is a network drive I'm disconnected from for a long time. I must mention that since I installed both Visual Studio AND Carbide.vs I was always DISCONNECTED from this network.
Anyway, how could this have happened (taking in account that as far as V. Studio and Carbide.vs are concerned z:/ has never been connected)?
And more important how and where could I change the place of properties.xml (and maybe other files I'll be needing in the future as well) to an existing path?
Thanks in advance!

Inspectors at Minnesota lakes are looking out for zebra mussels and other invasive species this fishing opener –- and Mother's Day -- weekend. The Department of Natural Resources is increasing patrols on the water across the state, but they can't be at every lake all the time, so for the 2012 season they're getting some help from local government.
At Lake Minnewashta, in Carver County,an inspector is stationed all weekend. The process is simple: people drive upwith their boats and the inspector comes over and asks them a bunch of questions before physically looking the boat over to make sure you are not transferring any species into a lake, or taking it with you when you leave.
It's mom who is supposed to take it easy today, but boat inspectors across the metro don't have it bad either. "I got my book and I got the sun," said Kevin Granzow, a DNR-trained invasive species specialist, who doesn't spring into action until a boater pulls up. Even then, he's not doing any real hard labor – just observing and enforcing. He'sjust one of many inspectors across the southwest metro inspecting boats for potential problems.
Starting this weekend, and going through mid-September, inspectors in several southwest metro cities and counties will be stationed at public boat launches.
It's a pilot program with a simple goal. "We want to make sure we protect our resources land and water," said Lenny Klevan-Schmitz while enforcing for Carver County, one of the first counties to chip-in for inspectors using grant money from the DNR.
Chanhassen is also on board along with several watershed districts. The program is paid for by local agencies. The estimated cost is coming in around $100,000 dollars for the southwest Twin Cities Metro area.
"Everybody is doingsomething a little different, but at least everyone is trying in the southwestmetro to protect our lakes and resources," Klevan-Schmitz added.
Invasive species likezebra mussels and milfoil can take over lakes and clog up boat launches. It'snot just educating to protect our lakes, it also educating boaters about allthe lakes the right thing to do clean dray and drain," Graznow said.
In case you forget, people like Granzow will be there to remind you: If you don't follow these rules to clean, drain and dry your boat and trailer, you could be looking at a fine up to $1,000.
These DNR-trained inspectors also have the authority to refuse you entry on the lake if they think you may be bringing a harmful species along with your boat. So keep those boats and trailers clean, and fish on!

LifeStyle Mirror Launches With Daphne Guinness-------
"It's a mix between a concept store and a mega-mall," Emanuele Della Valle (son of Tod's president and CEO Diego Della Valle) tells Style.com of his new site (co-founded with photographer Francesco Carrozzini), LifeStyle Mirror, launching today. "Selective, edited, but for fast and modern consumption."
Don't call it an e-commerce site, however. While the latest Mediabend Capital venture has click-through-to-buy features, the focus is on the (free) editorial component (helmed by former stylist Chelsea Gombes), and Della Valle sees it as a "definitive source" on fashion, food, wine, art, travel, beauty, etc. Every week it will feature international personalities, including Margherita Missoni, Ralph Lauren, and Sean Avery, offering a glimpse of what inspires them, along with its daily content. First up: Daphne Guinness.
"She is such an incredible icon, and we had a chance to really show her lifestyle, not only her fashion sense," Della Valle says of the video (below), debuting exclusively on Style.com, shot inside Guinness' New York apartment. "In our video interview she talks about her inspirations and references—so cool!"
So, what's next for Della Valle, who launched the chic-mom iPad app Elizabeth Street just last year? "Mediabend is creating digital media brands with very specific content for very specific audiences. Elizabeth Street caters to stylish moms around the world. Other projects are in the making and will launch in the second half of the year. Stay tuned!"
