Design and Technology
Design and Technology is an enjoyable subject which offers pupils the opportunity to be creative and independent in their learning. Teaching and learning is dynamic and the expertise of staff within the department allows pupils to develop.
Pupils have the chance to work in an area of their choice at KS4, with current options including GCSE Product Design, GCSE Catering, BTEC Construction and the Jamie Oliver Award. Class sizes are generally smaller than other subjects which allows for a greater emphasis to be placed on support within all lessons. There is a clear and thorough assessment strategy in place for all pupils and this is especially important for GCSE courses as 60% of the final grade is Controlled Assessment, where pupils can research, design and develop a project of their choice.
Key Stage 3
The Design and Technology curriculum at KS3 offers pupils the opportunity to work with a wide and varied range of matertials, ingredients, tools and equipment. KS3 lessons are taught on a carousel with pupils completing four projects during each year. These projects cover material areas of Food Technology, Materials, Electronics and CAD/CAM. In each of these areas pupils are assessed on designing and making activities, with regular feedback given to enable pupils to develop and improve their attainment within the subject.
In this film some Year 8 students demonstrate how to use a Vacuum Former.
Key Stage 4
GCSE Product Design
This course is concerned with the design and manufacture of a variety of commercial products in wood, metal, plastic and compliant materials. You will learn to use CAD software, work with a range of materials, hand tools, machines as well as learning about design influences and sustainability.
GCSE Catering
This course focuses largely on the practical and theoretical aspects of food preparation in a professional context, as well as a range of general topics linked to the hospitality and catering industry. Areas of study include: food preparation, cooking and presentation, health, safety and hygiene, costing and portion control, specialist equipment, communication and record keeping, job roles and employment opportunities, including relevant training. The assessment involves the production of numerous food dishes which are assessed for their level of skill and suitability by teacher observation and external examination. The practical assessment tasks are further supported by a small portfolio of research, planning and evaluation presented as a A4 folder of work.
In this film some GCSE and BTEC work is on display at the 2013 exhibition.
BTEC Level 1 Certificate in Construction
This qualification has been designed to help you understand aspects of construction and the skills required to work successfully in the industry. You will gain the skills, knowledge and understanding through a wide range of practical activities and will also develop your employability skills through working as a team member, meeting deadlines, and communicating with each other.
There is an opportunity to experience construction in the 'real world' by visiting construction sites and investigating health and safety on site.
There is an element of theory with this course and you will be required to complete an folder showing your understanding of tools, equipment and processes in construction.
BTEC Jamie Oliver Level 1
This qualification has been designed by Jamie Oliver in partnership with Edexcel.
The 6-credit Level 2 Award gives learners an understanding of how to produce a wide variety of different dishes and food products. These include skills such as bread-making, making soups and stews, cooking with a range of meats, using vegetables, eggs, rice and pasta, producing desserts and puddings, salads and barbecues. Students will also learn how to economise when planning meals to cook at home. It encourages learners to transfer skills learnt to other recipes to continue cooking for themselves and their families and to inspire others by passing on their knowledge. The award is based on the chef Jamie Oliver's proposition that being able to cook is an essential life skill which empowers people to make changes that have benefits to their wellbeing for the rest of their lives.

Feeling better, Hunter sits after collision
Halos outfielder may return Wednesday vs. Lincecum
SAN FRANCISCO -- There was residual pain in his right rib cage and in his back, but Angels center fielder Torii Hunter was feeling better on Tuesday than he'd anticipated when he left AT&T Park late Monday night after a violent collision with the wall in left-center against the Giants.
X-rays taken after the game showed his rib cage, the area of most concern, to be normal. Hunter said he slept well and "woke up feeling pretty good."
"I'm a little groggy," said Hunter, who was replaced in center field on Tuesday by Gary Matthews Jr. "I stopped taking medication around 8 this morning, and I'm pretty sure it's wearing off now.
"I keep challenging the wall, and the wall is 16-0 -- I'm 0-16. This was more like Mike Tyson in his prime. It gave me a body blow. This wall's pretty stout."
Hunter, who has appeared in 59 of the club's 62 games, leads his team in homers (16), RBIs (51) and slugging percentage (.616), while batting .319. He is holding out a slender hope that he'll get the green light from manager Mike Scioscia to play in the series finale on Wednesday against Tim Lincecum, the Giants' reigning National League Cy Young Award winner.
"We can close the door [to his office], and Mike's going to say, `I hope you understand,'" Hunter said, grinning. "When I was younger, there was no way I'd take a day off. I'm older now, a little smarter.
"I keep hearing take three days off [with Thursday's off-day]. I do want to play. I'd like to face Lincecum. Whether I succeed or not, I'd like to face him. It's up to Mike. I'm going to go in there and plead my case. But he's the judge."
Judge and jury. Scioscia indicated he was disinclined to give Hunter a crack at Lincecum, but he didn't slam that door shut.
"He probably could [play], but we're going to make sure he's 100 percent," Scioscia said. "We'll see how he is. If he could play [Wednesday], he'd have a day to recover when we get back home. We're definitely leaning toward holding him out until Friday."
That's when the Angels open a three-game Freeway Series against the Dodgers at Angel Stadium.

The Illinois winter wheat crop is expected to yield 62 bushels per acre, based on conditions as of May 1, which is one bushel above last year's yield. If this yield is realized, total production would be 39.06 million bushels, 16 percent less than last year's production.
Wheat leaves displaying symptoms of virus infection, such as purple and yellow leaf tips or mosaic symptoms, have been observed in fields across the state, according to University of Illinois plant pathologist Carl Bradley.
For the second consecutive year, Macon County topped the state's list of cash rent rates in 2011.
The average cash rent rate in Macon County is $260 per acre. Following closely behind were Sangamon County, with $252 per acre, and Logan County, with $246 per acre.
Fayette County had an average cash rent rate of $128. Other surrounding counties were: Bond County, $124; Montgomery County, $212; Christian County, $237; Shelby County, $194; Effingham County, $126; and Marion County, $119.
Last week, most of the state experienced cooler temperatures and below-normal rainfall compared to previous weeks.
Temperatures averaged 54.1 degrees, which was 2.2 degrees below normal.
Statewide precipitation averaged 0.46 inches, which is 0.40 inches below normal. The rainfall was heavier during the weekend, enabling a good amount of fieldwork to be completed during the week. Days suitable for fieldwork increased to 4.8 days, compared to 3.9 the previous week.
May 31 reporting deadline for crops
May 31 is the final deadline to report fall-seeded crops, according to the Fayette County Farm Service Agency.
Annual reports are required for producers receiving benefits on DEC, ACRE, Federal Crop Insurance, CRP rental payments, commodity loans, NAP and SURE payments.
Timely and accurate acreage reports are necessary to maintain planting history on a farm and to ensure program benefits are not jeopardized.
Late-file reporting after May 31 costs a minimum of $46.
Warm, dry weather patterns persist
The warm and dry weather continued throughout the state last week.
Statewide, temperatures averaged 57.7 degrees, 10.9 degrees above normal.
Total precipitation averaged 0.29 inches, 0.64 inches below normal.
As a result of the weather patterns, soil temperatures are warm enough for planting, and the majority of farmers have completed their pre-planting fieldwork. Most are waiting on the "go date" for their area to arrive, but many have at least some corn in the ground.
Though not many area farmers have begun planting, plenty are out in the fields doing tillage work or applying anhydrous ammonia.
In this picture, a farmer is silhouetted against the late afternoon sun as he prepares a field northwest of Vandalia on Tuesday. Illinois farmers are planning to plant slightly fewer acres of corn and slightly more acres of soybeans. Nationwide, farmers will plant the highest number of acres of corn in the past 75 years.
The application period for the next round of Biomass Crop Assistance Program (BCAP) project areas will be open until April 23.
"BCAP provides incentives to farmers and forest landowners to grow non-food crops to be processed into biofuels – a critical element of our national energy strategy to address high fuel prices and reduce reliance on foreign oil," said Scherrie V. Giamanco, state executive director for the USDA's Farm Service Agency.
Driven by favorable prices, U.S. farmers intend to plant 95.9 million acres of corn in 2012, up 4 percent from 2011, according to the Prospective Plantings report released recently by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS).
If realized, this will be the largest corn acreage in the United States since 1937, when producers planted 97.2 acres of corn.

Hello Experts,
I have created one STO from Plant1 to Plant2. Stock available in Plant1 is 10 EA(Storage loc1 = 3 EA, Storage Loc2 = 7 EA). When I am creating delivery by using VL04, delivery is getting is created with Qty = 3 (Storage Loc1) only, where as I need to create one delivery with 10EA.
I guess delivery is getting splitted based on storage location.
Please suggest what configuration needs to be made , so that delivery picks the Qty (10EA) ie from the storage location.
Thank you in advance.
First do stock movement from one storage location to other in Plant 1.
means Move Sloc 1 =3 ea to Sloc 2 or Sloc = 2 ea to Sloc 1.
use tcode : MB1B and movement type : 311(Transfer within plant between sloc's)
One of the Sloc will be having 10 ea quantity.
Then do STO Between plant to plant.
And do delivery.
Thank you for the prompt response.
My requirement is to create a single delivery from multiple storage locations.
based on storage location system will not do the delivery split,
you can use user exit or routine ,
Hi ,
I dont want to split delivery on any basis, but it is getting splitted.
Please suggest.
Normally, dliveries does not get splitted on SLoc. There must be some other factor causing this.
Kindly verify that shipping details for both line item has identical data in ME23N like shipping point and sales area etc..
Also check with your MM team if STO is activated at Storage location level
IMG path
MM->Purchasing->Set Up STO-> Activate STO at Storage loc level.
Hi amit ,
STO is created with one line item only.
Since the stock transfer has to take place between 2 plants and not between 2 storage locations (of the same plant), so STO at storage location is not activated.
Hello Experts,
After changing the setting for For the Availability Check - Y2 and Checking Rule - B , check box "No stor.loc.inspectn" is checked (T441V-OLGPR is ticked).
Single delivery is getting created.
Now the storage location picked is only one. i.e
Stock is
Storage loc1 = 3 EA,
Storage Loc2 = 7 EA
Single delivery created provides the storage location -
Storage loc1 = 3 EA
Storage loc1 = 7 EA
in 2 line items.
Please suggest that how can 2 respective locations will appear in delivery.
Thank you in advance.
Storage location is in item level (table LIPS). Delivery split shall not take place because of LGORT (St loc)
Check if you have different warehouses for different line items, then there would be delivery split; as Warehouse is at header level (table LIKP).
Thank you for the prompt response.
Delivery is not getting splitted now (after making the above changes).
Problem is storage location picked is incorrect.
once check the ovl3 for the storage location determination , what is the two line items item category , check the MMBE for specific stock ,

Steve Brown, 63, of Georgetown and his wife Ann have had their share of bad news in recent months.
Last Wednesday night they received some much needed good news after Steve checked his Cash Ball ticket from the May 22nd drawing. He'd matched all five of his Cash Ball numbers.
Since Steve has been playing the same Cash Ball numbers for the last four years as soon as he spotted the winning numbers on the website he knew they were his.
Players who wager $1 and match all five Cash Ball numbers win $200,000 but Steve chose to buy five plays on one ticket using the same set of numbers which is how he won $1 million. He said he picked his numbers based on birthdays.
After finding out he'd won, Steve staggered down the hall to find his wife. "I was worried at first because he looked pale," Ann said. Steve told her, "You're not going to believe this; we've just won $1 million." The couple said neither one of them slept much that night.
It just so happens that Steve has a friend that knows a little something about winning the lottery.
Rob Anderson of Georgetown won $128.6 million, the largest Powerball jackpot in Kentucky history, back in December 2010. In search for guidance, Steve met up with Rob before heading to Louisville.
Six months ago Ann was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. This came just months after they both had retired. She began chemotherapy almost immediately and will receive her last treatment this week. As medical bills continue to come in on a daily basis, the couple said that their winnings will help in a big way.
Steve purchased his winning ticket at Clark's Pump N Shop #85 in Georgetown. The store will receive $10,000 for selling the ticket.

Kasey Kahne underwent outpatient surgery on his left knee Friday, but his Hendrick Motorsports team says he'll be ready for the 2012 NASCAR season and the Daytona 500.
Kahne had an MRI on Thursday after experiencing swelling in his knee, the results of which revealed a torn meniscus. Doctors immediately scheduled a procedure for Friday, which was a partial medial meniscus removal.
Friday's operation was the third separate knee surgery in a little more than a year for Kahne, and the fourth overall.
After the 2010 season, Kahne had surgery in both knees to repair a condition called "plica syndrome," which results in the buildup of tissue.
Then, in April of last year, Kahne required more surgery after tearing the meniscus in his right knee. He was able to race at Richmond the week after his operation, where he finished third.
Friday's surgery was to repair the meniscus in his left knee, so Kahne has now had two surgeries on each knee in the past 15 months.
Hendrick Motorsports says Kahne will be ready for all Daytona Speedweeks activities – which begin on Friday – and it has no plans to have a backup driver on standby.

Memorial park will be the next Rapid City destination to undergo a major expansion.
Destination Rapid City announced today its plans for Legacy Commons.
The organization's president and CEO Dan Senftner says its features will include the themes of remembrance, renewal and discovery in honor of the 40th anniversary of the 1972 flood last year. These will include additional memorials, new play areas and hidden images for people to find.
Improvements will also be made to the existing amphitheater, and the bike paths will remain unchanged.

Subsidiary JWT Specialized Communications provides advertising and marketing services, targeting the employment market. The subsidiary's JWT Education unit zeroes in on colleges and universities. JWT Intelligence provides trend forecasting, market research, and consulting for companies in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and other consumer products sectors.
JWT has been able to reach the top ranks of its industry in part because of its long-standing client relationships: The firm has worked with some Unilever brands for more than 100 years, and Ford has been a client for more than 60 years. Memorable campaigns have included "I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener" for Oscar Mayer in 1963 and "The Uncola" for 7UP in the 1970s. The agency's long history, though, had given it a somewhat stodgy and conservative image. In 2005 it took the drastic step of discarding its 130-year-old name and rebranding with its updated JWT moniker in order to energize its own brand.
Like many companies, JWT has been pursuing markets less affected by the global economic recession. The company is looking to India, China, the Middle East, Brazil, and Russia for growth. JWT also is focusing more on digital and new media, such as social networking and mobile marketing and advertising. To that end, in mid-2010 it purchased Digitaria Interactive, which helps company's create or improve their online and social media marketing. Customers have included NBCUniversal, QUALCOMM, the NFL, and Dreamworks. A year later it obtained Lunchbox LP, a shopper engagement agency with four offices in the US, and Mindset Advertising, an Indian ad agency.
James Walter Thompson started the firm when he bought the New York City advertising broker where he worked as a bookkeeper. WPP acquired the agency in 1987.

The Affordable Care Act – often referred to as the new health care reform law – is moving forward following the recent Supreme Court ruling upholding the Act. Some elements of the health care law are already in place and more are coming.
The most notable is that starting in 2014 most Americans will be required to have health insurance coverage, either through an employer-sponsored plan or by purchasing it themselves. Individuals who are not covered by an employer plan and fail to purchase their own coverage will be subject to penalties. However, subsidies will be provided for lower income Americans who may not be able to afford coverage. If you already have coverage through an employer, you are not likely to see any significant changes.
Key provisions already in place or coming soon
Elements of the law that are already in effect, or soon will be, may have an impact on many families' health care costs. Some of these include:
• Coverage for young adult dependents. Young adults can stay on their parents' group health plan until age 26.1 Previously, young people would not be included as an eligible dependent unless they were a full-time student. Now that this provision is in effect, it may cost some families less to cover a young adult on their plan.
• Children with pre-existing conditions. Those under the age of 19 with pre-existing conditions can no longer be denied coverage and, by 2014, no American of any age can be restricted from insurance coverage. This change may make health care more affordable in some respects for those who have such a condition or with a child who fits into this category.
• Reduced prescription costs for some Medicare beneficiaries. Those who use the Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit and fall into the coverage gap (often referred to as the "donut hole") will receive a 50 percent discount on brand name prescription drugs this year. The drug coverage gap is scheduled to be completely phased out by 2020 so that all prescription drug costs will be paid under Medicare Part D.
• Higher rates for some. Insurance companies can currently charge higher rates based on health status or gender. Beginning in 2014, rates can only be based on age, geography, family size, and tobacco use. For some, the increase in rate may be negligible, but it could be larger for others who will consequently be paying more for health care in the future due to these changes.
• Coverage for preventive care services. Some or all of the cost of preventive care services must be paid for by your insurance company.2 This coverage includes blood pressure screenings, mammograms, and routine vaccines for children. Not all plans have to comply with this rule, so check with your plan to see what is available to you.
• No caps on lifetime coverage costs. Insurance companies and group health plans can no longer put caps on lifetime coverage costs, so treatment may continue for more complex conditions regardless of the expenses involved.
New taxes on higher income taxpayers in 2013
On the immediate horizon are new tax provisions that could impact higher income Americans. These provisions take effect beginning January 1, 2013 and make tax planning in 2012 more critical for those who have enough income to be affected by them. They will not affect most Americans, but the new taxes will generally apply for:
• single tax filers with income of more than $200,000; and,
• married couples filing a joint return with income of more than $250,000.
Any earned income above those threshold amounts will be subject to a 0.9 percent Medicare surtax beginning in 2013. For example, a married couple with wages or self-employment income of $300,000 will have to pay the surtax (on top of other taxes due) on $50,000 of their earned income. That amounts to an additional tax of $450.
A new 3.8 percent Medicare contribution tax will also apply to certain net investment income for married couples filing jointly with income above $250,000 or single tax filers with income higher than $200,000 (based on Modified Adjusted Gross Income or MAGI). This investment income includes interest, dividends, capital gains, annuity income and passive income from rents or other activities.3 For example, a couple with $300,000 of investment income4 would pay an additional tax of $1,900 (3.8 percent of $50,000 above the threshold limit of $250,000) in 2013.
Individuals who may be subject to these new taxes should consult with their financial and tax advisors to discuss appropriate steps to try to minimize the impact on their bottom lines.
1 Certain group plans generally do not have to provide dependent coverage until 2014 if the adult dependent has another offer of employer-based coverage aside from coverage through the parent.
2 For individual policies created after March 23, 2010, and certain group health plans.
3 This does not include qualified plan, tax-exempt or most active business income. For individuals, the new 3.8% tax applies to modified adjusted gross income over the threshold or to net investment income, whichever is less.
4 Modified adjusted gross income made up of $300,000 of net.

babyblueda We recently stayed at the Elbrus Home and never in all the 54 countries I have traveled to have I had service like what is given here by Khem and his staff. Where else does the manager/ owner make himself available to the guests at all times? It may be a small budget hotel but the service is most definitely 5 star. The rooms are clean, the breakfast is very good (and served "whenever you get up"), Khem after a few minutes seems like a personal friend and will give information, help with travel plans , book reservations or help with any needs that arise. The location is also excellent and they will arrange airport pickups and drop offs. His little dog who lives on the premises is so friendly and cuddly that he just adds to the fun of staying there. The outdoor eating and sitting area is beautifully decorated with plants and flowers and has great views. There is an indoor sittting area with a small library and if you didn't bring your own computer Khem will let you use his. I cannot say enough good things about Elbrus Home. We plan to return to Kathmandu and would not even consider staying anywhere else. Thank you Khem, Raj and Ali for all you did for us and making us feel like very special guests!

Denver to join the Summit League in 2013
Nov 26, 2012, 6:15 PM EDT
The WAC to Denver: Thanks for the, um, memories.
According to Jeff Goodman of CBSSports.com, Denver is set to join the Summit League in 2013. That coming after Denver left the Sun Belt Conference to join the WAC this season.
Denver will join the Summit League next season, sources told CBSSports. Realignment never, ever ends.—
Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanCBS) November 26, 2012
The move is a bad one for the WAC, who could possibly face dissolving as a conference with so many teams leaving. Texas State is also checking out of the conference for the Sun Belt after spending this season there.
Denver had been a marginal get for the conference, at best. The Pioneers had been somewhat of an outcast in the Sun Belt — with the closest opponent being North Texas, 838 miles away — and were a better geographical fit among the west-coast and Rocky-Mountain-centric WAC.
Only problem was, the current uncertain future with the conference led them to question the move, and apparently, they decided it was time to get out of Dodge.
The Summit League is also a solid fit for Denver, both geographically and historically. The Pioneers have one 20-win season since 2000 and not much postseason success. It fits with schools like South Dakota, IUPUI and South Dakota State in that category and will make for somewhat shorter travel to places like Brookings, S.D., Omaha and Kansas City, Mo., with the longest trips being the two to Indiana to play IUPUI and Fort Wayne.
Not necessarily a bad move or a relegation for Denver, but a disappointing move for the WAC in terms of men's basketball. The school didn't have a football team, but any defection doesn't help a conference who is waning on it's own existence at best.

Voter turnout lower than in 2008 presidential election

Make sure everyone votes today, here is a guide to help you.
Forget about the Presidential Campaign, we are a socialist, so we are in the bag for the democrats. Next is the prepositions, look first to see if they want more money, if they do, no matter what it is, vote no. The only reason they need money is because of the pensions they gave out for votes. So no on anything asking for money such as 30. When you vote, think of the load your laying on your children and grand children. They will end up paying for all your decisions.

Despite the predictions of the ideologically-tainted Pleasanton Weekly, Proposition 30 (saving our schools) and Proposition 32 (saving our unions) have both passed by convincing margins.
Yet the Pleasanton Weekly, in an editorial masquerading as a "news story", assured its readers just a few days ago that Proposition 30 was "failing".
Prop 30 passed with 54% of the vote.
I'll take that kind of "fail" any old day of the week you want to name.
Now back to the mangled syntax of the anonymous we-hate-Obama brigade in 3, 2, 1....
on Nov 7, 2012 at 8:56 am
Your unions never needed 'saving', they need to be reigned in or eliminated to protect the other 85% of our populace. But, you're not a selfish bastard, much.

PEORIA, Ill. -- There was an unusual sight in Peoria's warehouse district where the city council convened for a rare Saturday meeting.
Instead of getting together in the horse-shoe at City Hall, the council met at 305 Water Street.
The special meeting was described as a workshop to discuss how the council can tackle major challenges and projects moving forward.
Mayor Jim Ardis says the city has made progress in some important areas which they'll continue to focus on.
"What we definitely need to do is continue to focus on the areas where we've made the investments during these difficult times," said Ardis. "A lot of that's in the warehouse district and also some areas in the northern part of the city in terms of road projects."
"We're going to be looking at how we can continue to deliver services with a reduced workforce," said City Manager Patrick Urich, "and how we continue to address the needs of our citizens, from our neighborhoods to our businesses and we're going to continue to work very hard and that's what today is all about."
Urich added that the city is in a much better position than a year ago when it was facing a deficit of over $9 million. This year, that shortfall is only about $750,000.

About Me Budget Shopper
I love the ease of shopping and choosing items on the website. The color and fabric arrived just as shown. My bathroom redo has a burst of solid color, design and quality from Steve's. My only concern is the finish appearance. I wish there were valances available from the fabrics to top off the shade.It looks a bit "unfinished". I'm sure I can go back to the site and rectify that problem... at a cost. I am overall, quite satisfied with my purchase. I would definitely use the website again.

Great Co. I have ordered all our blinds from here. Very happy
from Bridgewater MA
I did a complete bathroom redo, to bring an 80s bathroom up to a chic 21st laundry/powder room scenario. I was looking for a color burst for a window, something to accent a black/white/gray color pallette. I found great fabrics and designs with your company, only to go further to find the perfect fabric choice as well. Everyone who checks out my redo comments, "Great window shade! Where did you get it?" Thanks for providing a well constructed, true to design product at a reasonable cost.

Beautiful product. I was pleased with quick turnaround time and quality construction. Thermal blackout lining makes a huge difference in windows with south/west exposure.
attractive blind
By DB
from Wisconsin
The blind looks very nice in the room and I get many compliments on it. The only drawback is that is very hard to pull up. The window is 82 inches across and I added a room darkening liner. Therefore, there is a lot of fabric and the sheer weight makes it difficult to pull up.
Great Service!

Mexico takes steps to protect monarch habitats threatened by illegal logging
Mexico takes steps to protect monarch habitats threatened by illegal logging
As the monarch butterflies begin their annual migration to Mexico, the government of Mexico is taking steps to protect the environment of the nesting grounds of the monarch. Recent government announcements declared that efforts aimed at eliminating illegal logging have been quite successful. For the first time since the forests west of Mexico City were labeled a nature reserve in 2000, logging has not be found in measurable amounts.
Many obstacles lie between the origin and destination locations for the monarch butterflies' migration. There are plenty of predators. The cold weather is sweeping in. Food supplies are spread apart. The distance is up to 3,000 miles. But what hurts the monarchs the most is damage to their environment. Illegal logging, specifically, has caused unparalleled damage to their hibernating grounds in Mexico.
At the peak of logging in 2005, it ruined upwards of 1,140 acres annually in the reserve. It was considered the reserve's largest threat. In the early- to mid-2000s, armed police began patrolling reserves for logging operations, and donor groups started local nurseries to help grow for hopeful reforestation. The improved governmental stand against logging helped cut down the deforestation, however individual tree removal remains practically undetectable. During the past couple years, the thinning of forests is still noticeable, and will continue unless year-round monitoring and guarding is enforced.
Additional reserve harm is coming from climate change. Droughts cause the trees stress, and make them vulnerable to bark beetles. Heavy rain and windstorms can create mudslides. Mistletoe strangles trees. These conditions wipe out acres of forest that the butterflies need for shelter.
The number of monarchs wintering in Mexico dropped 28 percent this year. Some experts attribute the loss to drought in the northern parts of the Americas, where monarchs spend their summers. But it is clear that measures still need to be taken to ensure ample migration space in Mexico.
Migration is a trait inherited by monarchs. A monarch's lifespan is so short, that no butterfly lives to make the round-trip. These delicate creatures need their winter refuge in Mexico, where millions of the species cluster so densely on tree boughs that researchers count them in acres rather than individually. The number of trees lost annually to logging has decreased, but must continue to decrease to help the monarchs. Officials and locals in Mexico are continuing to work to protect the forests, and the orange and black butterflies that call them home.

CB Corey Graham, a Pro Bowl special-teams standout with the Bears the past five seasons, has agreed to a two-year deal with the Ravens, according to a report by the Chicago Tribune. Graham told the paper that he will sign the deal Friday.
Graham, a fifth-round pick out of New Hampshire in 2007, has registered 75 special-teams tackles since '07, which ranks third in the NFL during that span.
"I believe it's a better situation for me and a better opportunity with a fresh start," Graham told the Tribune. "I gave the Bears every opportunity but they moved on. All around, Baltimore is just a better deal for me and my family."
The 26-year-old Graham also visited with the Lions and Seahawks before choosing the Ravens. He is the first free agent from another team to sign with Baltimore since the free-agent market opened March 13.
Graham, a 6-0, 196-pounder, played three games at nickel cornerback last season and made three interceptions in three consecutive games.
The way we see it
The addition of Graham bolsters the Ravens' coverage units and secondary depth, both of which were weakened when safeties Haruki Nakamura and Tom Zbikowski departed in free agency. Baltimore was 31st in kickoff coverage and 24th in punt coverage in 2011.

Good morning everyone.
Today's Kansas City Chiefs training camp practice begins at 8:15 a.m. and will probably end around 10:45 a.m. This is the first practice since Wednesday's off day so I'm anxious to get back up there and see what everyone did on their day off.
Injury-wise, we're looking to see if Eric Berry and Dunta Robinson are back in the fold after injuring their hamstrings. There were a number of hamstring injuries and cramping going on last week so we want to see if all those guys are returning. Jeff Allen, injured last weekend, returned to the field on Tuesday.
This is your open thread for Chiefs practice. Follow along with our Twitter feed @ArrowheadPride below. Find pictures of Chiefs camp on our Facebook page.

Sean McMullen had his eye on the weather at an early age. "I would stand on the roof of our backyard shed during severe weather trying to get as close to the storms as I could", he recalls. Probably not a safe thing, but it shows his passion for weather. He graduated from Northwest High School in Omaha, NE and attended the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, where he received his degree in Meteorology.
Sean has been a storm chaser for the website twisterchasers.com and for KETV in Omaha, where he also interned in the weather department. Before joining the Channel 8 Eyewitness News as the morning and midday meteorologist, he was the weekend meteorologist at NTV in Kearney, NE. "I've always dreamed of bringing the weather to the public, whether good or bad", he says. He wants to use his skills he learned as a storm chaser to better warn and educate viewers during times of weather emergencies.
Besides storm chasing with his wife, he plays golf, enjoys routing for the Huskers loves to relax while catching the latest movie.

The closing of a catfish restaurant near White Oak Creek Park in Eufaula two years ago gave mayor Jack Tibbs an idea. "I noticed that a couple of businesses had closed," said Tibbs.
First, the background.
The restaurant closed because the U.S. Corps of Engineers started closing the park during the winter months due to cutback in federal funds. A closed park meant no visitors. No visitors, no business.
The mayor and the city negotiated an agreement with the corps, a deal reached early this week for Eufaula to maintain the national park and keep it open from October through March. Mayor Tibbs says they'll use city maintenance crews to maintain the 100 acre park.
Little did Tibbs know two days later the federal government would come to a grinding halt over budget issues. The shutdown does not impact the deal reached between Eufaula and the Corps of Engineers.
"We started working on this about two months ago so we would be prepared for the seasonal shutdown, so I guess we are looking pretty good right now considering this is the only park that is open right now in the United States," said Tibbs.
The park is located just outside the Eufaula city limits which meant the city had to get a favorable 'opinion' from Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange.
White Oak Creek Park averages around 10,000 visitors a year. Mayor Tibbs says what he and the city just made sense.
"We have over a hundred campsites here so it's like having another hundred families who eat at our restaurants and play on our golf courses," said the mayor.
So beginning today White Oak Creek Park is open to campers and RVers alike but too late for the catfish restaurant on the hill.

|This and That - Mother's Day and kindergarten
|Monday, May 14, 2012 10:06 AM
I'd like to take this opportunity to compliment and praise the 39 children of the two kindergarten classes at The Fort Jennings Elementary School for a beautiful job they did singing our National Anthem at the music program last week. These boys and girls opened the program with the Star Spangled Banner. It was amazing what those 39 voices could do. They should sing for the Cincinnati Reds or the Cleveland Indians or even the Super Bowl. Some of the celebrities who sing for some of these events try to doctor it up with their own renditions, which could make Francis Scott Key twinge. It is a difficult song for many but these kids hit all the words and notes perfectly, thanks to Rosemary Warnecke who teaches music to the elementary students as well as the high school band and choir. The other children of grades one through five did a fine job too.
Now let me give all the mothers a pat on the back as we celebrate Mother's Day on Sunday.
Miss Jarvis just wanted to honor her mother and all mothers for the many hats a mother wears devoting her time to the welfare of her children.
The governor of West Virginia, William Glassman, proclaimed Mother's Day as a state holiday in 1910. In 1913, Congress, by joint resolution, created Mother's Day as a national holiday, to be observed on the second Sunday of every May, in all the states, territories and dependencies. President Woodrow Wilson issued the first Mother's Day Proclamation in 1914.
Julia Ward Howe had advocated a Mother's Day more than three decades earlier but the idea couldn't get off the ground. The country just wasn't ready for it, maybe because the Civil War had just ended a few years before.
This special observance has grown and grown to where the greeting card companies and the florists and greenhouses look forward to this week-end as one of their busiest times.

KNIGHTDALE — Mike Chalk, an incumbent candidate for Knightdale Town Council, said last week he is OK with receiving an endorsement from the Wake County Democratic Party.
Chalk, who is registered unaffiliated and says he didn't seek an endorsement from any party, was surprised by the Democratic party's decision last month to support him. After a reporter broke the news to Chalk that Wake Democrats endorsed him, Chalk said he would consider asking the group to rescind it because "I don't think party politics should play a role in nonpartisan elections," he said on Aug. 29.
Before making a decision, Chalk called Dan Blue III, chairman of the Wake Democratic Party. Chalk told Blue he appreciated the endorsement, but wanted to make sure the party didn't cast him as a Democrat.
"We had a great conversation," Chalk said. "I told him I appreciate them thinking I was a good choice for Town Council. If they leave me on there (on the Democrats' endorsement list), I don't care. I left it up to him (Blue)."
Blue said he understands Chalk's position. The party likes Chalk, Blue said, so it wouldn't want to do anything to hurt his re-election changes. But after their talk, Blue expects Wake Democrats to keep Chalk on the group's endorsement list.
"We're not going to change anything," Blue said on Sept. 12. "We've endorsed him, not expecting him to turn around and be a Democrat. He knows that now."
However, it remains unclear whether Chalk's name will appear on campaign materials or phone messages.
"There has been no decision yet. Our board typically meets monthly and will meet again at the end of this month, but I do not expect any changes," Blue said.
Wake Democrats endorsed Chalk – along with one other local unaffiliated candidate, Ira Fuller, who is running for reelection to Wendell's Board of Commissioners – because the two have demonstrated "responsible governance" over the years while supporting efforts for parks and affordable housing, Blue said.
This was the first time the local Democratic Party endorsed either of the incumbent candidates. Fuller, a former Wendell town manager, accepted the Democrats' endorsement last month. "Anyone running for public office appreciates an endorsement," Fuller said at the time.
The Knightdale and Wendell elections are nonpartisan. But Democrats and Republicans are backing candidates in both races.
Chalk is one of four candidates vying for three seats on Knightdale Town Council in the Nov.5 election. Charles Bullock and Mark Swan – who are also backed by Wake Democrats – as well as Randy Young, who is registered unaffiliated, round out the field for Knightdale Town Council.
In Wendell, Fuller is running against three other candidates for the town's board of commissioners: Jon Lutz, who is unaffiliated, incumbent Republican Ginna Gray, who was endorsed by the Wake County Republican Party, and Republican John Boyette, who is not backed by his party.
Donna Williams, chairwoman of the Wake GOP, said her group couldn't reach Boyette when trying to vet him for an endorsement. Boyette recently said Wake Republicans did, in fact, contact him for an interview – but that he declined.
"I declined their offer – and agree with Mr. Chalk when he said – party politics shouldn't play a part in non-partisan races," Boyette said in a Sept. 4 email.
