Woman robbed as she leaves Blackburn gym
1:30pm Sunday 25th November 2012 in News By Jessica Cree, Crime reporter
A WOMAN walking home from a Blackburn gym was approached by a man carrying a knife and had her bag stolen, police said.
The incident happened at 9.15pm on Friday as the 20-year-old woman, from the Blackburn area, was on her way back from the Bangor Street Community Gym.
The victim was approached by the man, who had the lower part of his face covered, near the steps in Conway Avenue.
She was carrying a white gym bag which she dropped as she fled the scene.
It contained her gym shoes and some personal items and was later recovered in Troy Street.
A 20-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of robbery, but police are still appealing for information.
A police spokesman said: "If anybody was in the area at that time and saw the offender or the bag, we would appeal for them to come forward.
"The offender was holding a knife at the time but the woman was not threatened by it.
"She had her headphones in so she was not aware of anything that was said to her."
Anybody with information should call 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

Senior Year in Professional Studies at CWRU
Students of superior ability and attainment who are candidates for the B.A. and who are admitted to professional studies in Case Western Reserve University by the end of the junior year are offered an opportunity to shorten their entire course of studies by one year through the Senior Year in Professional Studies privilege. Application should be made during the second semester of the junior year through the Dean of Undergraduate Studies. This privilege is extended to students who are candidates for the B.A. and who attend the School of Dentistry, the School of Medicine, the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing, or the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences of Case Western Reserve University.
A student granted the senior year in professional studies privilege is permitted to substitute the work of the first year in a professional school for that required during the last year in the undergraduate college. Upon the satisfactory completion of the first year's work in the professional school, the student will be granted the bachelor's degree from the College of Arts and Sciences. To be eligible for the senior year in professional studies privilege, a student must:
- Be accepted for admission to professional studies in Case Western Reserve University.
- Meet the following degree requirements:
- Completion of the Arts and Sciences General Education Requirements and two semesters of physical education, unless excused from the latter.
- Completion of three-fourths of the courses required for the major, including three-fourths of the courses required in the major department.
- Completion of 84 hours of arts and sciences courses. These credits may be drawn from those offered by the College of Arts and Sciences as well as those in economics, biochemistry, nutrition or computer science.

The wait is over!
Here are the winning Powerball numbers for November 28, 2012:
5 - 23 - 16 - 22 - 29 Powerball: 6
The jackpot for Wednesday night's Powerball drawing now stands at $550 million.
Lottery officials say tickets sold at a rate of 130,000 a minute nationwide. That's about six times the volume from a week ago. So, the jackpot could have climbed even higher before tonight's drawing.
There have been 16 consecutive drawings without a winner, but Powerball officials say they now think there's a 75 percent chance someone will hold the winning numbers this time.
Some experts say if one ticket hits the right numbers, chances are good that there will be other winners as well.

How to Compare Yoga Mats:
A quality yoga mat can assist you in the practice of yoga. Flag this photo. Yoga makes for simple, no-stress exercise because it doesn't require any machines, weights or other workout accessories. The one thing it does require is a quality yoga mat that allows you to move and hold positions comfortably. Comparing yoga mats is all about knowing what qualities an appropriate yoga mat should have.
- Locate a local yoga supply store. Often yoga studios sell supplies in their lobbies. Yoga mats can be purchased online, but it is hard to compare the quality when you can't see and touch the mats in person
- Touch each yoga mat. Observe the differences between the materials each mat is made out of. The best mat will be sticky so that you don't slip during your practice. It will also be slightly soft to cushion the hardness of the floor, but sturdy enough for you to hold your balance
- Choose the mat that has the qualities of a yoga mat that will best assist you in holding yoga positions
- Pick the color you like best for your mat. Once you've determined the best quality mat, it will also make your practice more enjoyable to work on a mat that is pleasing to you and expresses who you are
- Attempt a few yoga poses at home on your mat to make sure you have made the right choice. If you determine the mat is too slippery or not sturdy enough to practice on, return it to the store and get a better mat. Practicing with a poor quality mat is dangerous and ineffective in improving your yoga practice

The Richness of European Culture
My Husband Was Afraid of Dentists
Surprisingly, my husband has had a very nice smile ever since I met him. I say surprisingly because he had a major fear of dentists until a year ago. He had a bad experience when he was a child, and he vowed to never go to one again unless it was an emergency. He has always taken great care of his teeth, so that helped. I knew he still needed to see a dentist though, but he didn't until he actually cracked a tooth on a nut. I had been going to spires dental clinic myself, and he had no choice but to let me make him an appointment as well.
The staff there already knew about my husband, since I had often mentioned him during my exams and cleaning a couple of times a year. They knew he needed to come in for an examination, but they also knew that he could not be forced. It might sound odd, but that cracked tooth was actually a blessing in disguise. It was the first time in nearly 20 years that he had been to a dentist. While the reason wasn't great, it was good that it got him in the door.
That allowed him to see that not all dentists are the same. While he was anxious at first, the entire staff from the dentist to the hygienist and assistant had him feeling calm in no time. His cracked tooth was fixed without much discomfort on his part. The dentist did a quick exam and was pretty surprised that he only found a couple of small cavities. My husband had no problem making an appointment to get them fixed, and he even goes in for regular cleanings now. He even teases me about being glad he chipped his tooth now. Truth be told, I am!
Approaching Employment with a Unique Outlook
Unlike most people, I grew up in a very different setting than you might think. As an individual who was raised within a commune I have grown to see the world in a unique way with an approach to earning pay that seems to differ from the friends that I have made after moving away from East Wind. I was surprised to see that they were more eager to devote themselves to one type of career for the rest of their lives and while that's admirable, it seems odd. Personally, I sell things like vintage jewellery, paintings, handcrafted goods while also pursuing other forms of employment in order to gain a better understanding of myself, to challenge my personal abilities and hopefully learn more trade skills as I move from job to job and place to place. I do not believe that there is anything wrong with focusing on a single mastery of a skill but I do feel that our society has forced this on us.
Education is prohibitively expensive which inherently forces an individual to focus on a single career path to maximize the time that they are in school in order to save as much money as possible. Every year the cost of tuition rises along with the price for the books that are needed in every class. A student may end up spending close to five hundred dollars a semester just for their books alone, not counting the cost for the class and other enrollment fees. With their time so diminished, attempting to find a job off-campus is unlikely and will only result in the student suffering because of the hours spent trying to work. It is my first belief that education should be a right, that no single institution should ever control the ebb and flow of knowledge or practical skills.
He Couldn't Think of a Good Excuse
When my husband started working overtime a lot more often, I didn't think anything about it at first. It was not until a few months later that I realized that his take home pay was not increasing at all. If anything, it had gone down in a few instances. When I asked him about it, he didn't know what to say. He did tell me that there might be a problem with the bookkeeping office at work, and that he would check into it. I decided to look into a few things too, and I found www.acedetective.sg as a result of my own research.
If he would have given me even a half way believable answer, I would not have been suspicious at all. He has always taken such good care of our money though, and he could not even come up with a better excuse than "I don't know." I didn't like where my thoughts were taking me, but I knew that I needed to find out the truth. He was spending time somewhere, and it wasn't with me or apparently with his coworkers either. That is why I wanted to hire a private investigator to see what he was doing.
I already knew that the investigator would find out, but it did not make it hurt any less when he gave me his report. He had followed my husband for nearly three weeks, and he had evidence that he had met with the same woman on at least 12 different occasions. When I presented this to my husband, he told me it felt good to finally not have to sneak around anymore. To me, what felt good was kicking him out. I have more respect for myself than to allow him to make a fool of me. While I wish things had turned out differently, I am just glad that I don't have to wonder about his actions anymore.
The Amazing Profession of Rope Access Cleaning
For a risk-taker such as myself, I recently discovered what may be the coolest job in the world. The specialists that perform rope access cleaning do some amazing work considering the conditions upon which they work.
I first noticed these specialists when they came to clean a large area of the office building where my company is located. I had walked through this area for years and years and had always wondered how in the world the building kept the area so clean and free of dust, spiderwebs and the like. One day, I decided to come in a little early and caught a glimpse of the rope access specialists in action.
It was truly astonishing to watch them work. These guys know exactly what they are doing. They bring all of the apparatus they need to handle the cleaning job, plus they bring their regular rope gear. This allows them to scale those great heights and get to places that ladders simply can't reach.
The entire process didn't seem to take long. They were in and out of the area in what seemed like a few minutes. Before you know it, all the gear was packed up and these guys were headed for their next job.
I can only imagine what it must feel like to perform this type of work. I'm sure it is probably scary at first, but I'm sure you get used to it over time. These guys are seasoned professionals that are used to working high above an area with nothing but a rope holding them up.
As expected, these specialists place a special emphasis on safety. They really have to, considering some of the places they work. I learned that these guys can also do other types of maintenance in addition to cleaning. It is truly an impressive job.Check This

Best Deals for Direct TV Internet and Television Packages
I am in the process of moving my family into a new house, and I think that they are all going to be happy living here. It is a much more roomy house than were we previous lived, and everyone is going to be able to get their own room. I want to get some sort of television service hooked up in the near future. I was actually thinking that it might be a good idea to try to see if I could get direct tv here for a reasonable price. I am not sure what their rates will be like, but that is something that I am very curious to look into at this point in time.
I am hoping that I will also be able to find some good prices for packages. In particular, I would like to get my television service, and my broadband Internet service from the same company. I do believe that I will be able to save a bit of money in that fashion, at least, I sure hope that I will be able to. I want to get a relatively fast internet connection, so it is important that I look into the sort of internet connections that Direct TV has available for purchase. I am probably going to want to have the fastest connection that they have available.
The reason that I want to make sure that I get a very fast connection is simply that I work from home a lot of time, and therefore it is rather imperative that I am able to have a fast, and reliable internet connection available to me at all times. I know that the kids will want to have a lot of television channels on the TV, but I am looking for a fairly cheap option with regards to how many channels we get.Check This

A small group of employees are protesting the world's largest retailer.
Some Walmart workers have already walked off the job in some states.
Union backed organizers say it's the beginning of 1,000 protests, strikes and rallies leading up to and on Black Friday.
Protests are reportedly planned in places like Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles but Phoenix has not been mentioned.
One local Walmart worker told FOX 10 employees at his store aren't talking about walking off.
He says he was given the worst Thanksgiving dDy shift but he will stay because he needs the money.
The biggest shopping day of the year, some workers in 1,000 Walmart stores across the country may walk out, calling for better pay and benefits.
"I think they should be thankful to have a job, I'm one of them [who] lost a job two or three years ago," said Neta Lupton who is unemployed.
Employees are also upset that, like other big box stores, Walmart plans to start Black Friday early and open Thanksgiving night.
Although, some stores are already open 24 hours a day.
"Yeah I can understand them wanting to be with their families and all of that," said Heidi Benson.
"I think a lot of people have to work holidays...sometimes it's not a choice where we work, but if we work there we should make the best of it," said Chuck Kelly.
The protest effort is part of an employee coalition that's backed by a union.
A Walmart spokesperson calls it a publicity campaign and says it's part of an ongoing effort by the union to organize Walmart's workforce.
Walmart has filed an unfair labor practices charge against the union backing the movement.
With almost 1.5 million workers, Walmart has been targeted by unions and workers complaining about the issues before.
But, organizers claim workers have already been walking off the job; they're calling it the first strike in company history.
The idea is to target the mega store's bottom line.
"Do you think it will work? I don't think so. I just don't think it will work that way," said Kelly.
A labor attorney FOX 10's Jill Monier spoke with says since Arizona is a right to work state, unions aren't strong here. He doesn't anticipate any strikes from Walmart workers here, but says it's possible.
The union and the group organizing the protests did not return calls for comment.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The women's cross country team earned fourth in the 5k while the men ran sixth in the 8k at the FSU Invitational on Friday evening.
The women earned 102 points, behind Florida State (15), South Florida (80) and Florida A&M (97). The men took 170, below Florida A&M (32), Florida State (43), Florida Gulf Coast (61), UL-Lafayette (91) and South Florida (133).
"Both the men's and women's teams took the next step today," head coach Ron Grigg said. "Nick [Dale] and Andy [Merrill] both ran faster today than they did on this course and I was happy with the freshmen men experiencing their first collegiate 8k race. This will prove valuable in their development."
Svenja Meyer led the women Dolphins, finishing sixth (17:33.65), followed by Katy Solis in 12th (18:18.91), Caitlin Marino in 24th (18:59.79), Mary-Kate Ponder in 31st (19:31.12) and Shadaey Campbell in 58th (20:55.93).
"Svenja was outstanding today," Grigg said. "She turned in a complete race and mixed it up with some of the best in the country. This personal best performance will allow her to remain confident.
"Katy continues to improve during her freshman campaign and moves to number 12 all-time at JU on the 5k list. Caitlin continues to be a pleasant surprise with her second consecutive sub 19-minute race. It was nice to have Mary-Kate back in the lineup and in three more weeks she will be much improved. Shadaey battled through a back issue, [but] we'll expect better from her when fully healthy."
Nick Dale and Andrew Merrill placed 31st and 32nd, respectively, crossing in 27:52.28 and 28:16.13. Dale and Merrill were followed by Kyle Crews Jr. in 34th (28:35.24), Jeremy McDermet in 36th (29:08.57), Balaram Khara in 41st (31:34.35) and Austin Davey in 42nd (32:36.46).
"We have about ten days of concentrated training followed by about ten days of gradual unloading in preparation for the [Atlantic Sun Championship] meet. If healthy, I expect to see our best performances of the year when it matters most."
Next, the men and women will compete at the Atlantic Sun Championship on Nov. 2 in Nashville, Tenn.

Coupons and Automation
I rarely see a T.V. show on that catches my attention. I saw a show yesterday about clipping coupons, and don't remember the name of the show. Anyway, it had these people that were super duper coupon clippers. They would go to the store and the price would ring up to $600.00-$800.00, and then they would submit their coupons to the cashier, and their balance due would go down to something ridiculously low like $8.00. I watched a few of the stories on there, and it made me think how much I could save. The problem is I'm too lazy to go through the coupons. And, these people spent hours and hours clipping coupons and figuring out how to get the products for almost nothing.
One of my opinions of coupons has been that they tend to be for the brand name products that usually cost a lot more (if not marked up when they print a coupon for it), and that by the time I use the coupon I could have just bought the store brand. The intriguing thing to me was these people were getting the brand name products for practically nothing. They had stockpiles of soap, dish detergent, Kraft BBQ sauce, noodles, deodorants, etc in their houses.
I thought it would be cool if someone could use the "automation" technique to find the coupons for the products I want to buy. I thought about all the brand name products I buy, and that would be a good search term. For instance, these are the brand names I usually buy: Tide detergent, Palmolive, Colgate toothpaste, Kraft sauces and salad dressings, Downy softener, etc.
If there were a way to get coupons for these items, and do it easily, I think a lot of people would go for it. Many of the coupon websites want you to register, then the coupons I'm looking for are few and far between. It was a waste of time.
Anybody got a easy system?

According to Terry Francona, Kevin Youkilis' exam back in Boston has revealed that the Red Sox third baseman is suffering from bursitis in his hip.↵
The Red Sox have some recent experience with bursitis, of course. David Ortiz endured bursitis in his heel back in late August, costing him a week of games before he was able to return.
Youkilis received an anti-inflammatory injection in his hip to help combat his injury, and while Terry Francona wasn't ready to rule out a return to the team in Tampa, it seems unlikely that the Sox will have their starting third baseman back before they return home to Boston.↵

Just picked up a 49 farmall cub and heard there is a steering adjustment. Any advice as to where it is and how to adjust it would be great.
Re: 1949 farmall cub
Could you be more specific? Are you looking to adjust the toe-in of the wheels or looking to take slop or play out of the steering mechanism itself?
Re: 1949 farmall cub

|Collecting Fossils at Aurora, NC
Aurora, NC is a quiet town just south of the Pamlico River in rural North Carolina. It has
a population of well under 1000. Although this is a small rural town, there is a rich geologic
history lying beneath Aurora. This makes it the capitol of the world for many fossil
The Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan (PCS) is currently operating a large phosphate mine in Aurora. In the process of prospecting for phosphate, the mine digs through several fertile fossil-bearing formations. This gives paleontologists and fossil enthusiasts a unique opportunity to collect and study this rich fossil bearing material.
Aurora has a Museum devoted to the geologic diversity found under the town. The Aurora Fossil Museum contains a wide array of fossil displays collected from the PCS phosphate mine. These displays include numerous shark dentitions, including the jaws of a Giant Megatoothed shark, to a walrus skull and a whale skull. The museum also has a room devoted to native American artifacts from the area. Also, the PCS mine dumps piles of fossil bearing sediments at the museum for visitors to search through.
Brief Geologic History:
Throughout the Tertiary, North Carolina was part of the Albemarle Embayment. The Albemarle Embayment was one of the large embayments of the Atlantic Coastal Plain. The other was the Salisbury Embayment, which presently takes the form of the Chesapeake Bay. The two embayments are collectively called the SAE (Salisbury and Albemarle Embayment)
Similar to the Salisbury Embayment, this embayment may have acted as a calving ground for whales. The embayment housed a large diversity of life, including reptiles, and all kinds of fish, including sharks such as C. megalodon. It housed numerous marine mammals including large baleen whales, porpoises, seals, and sea cows. Sea going birds also thrived in this embayment. Also, remains of land mammals that washed out to sea can occasionally be found including horses and camels.
Throughout the Tertiary, sediments and animal remains were deposited into formations. The two most popular formations (fossil-wise) are the Pungo River (Miocene) and Yorktown (Pliocene). Many other formations were also deposited ranging from the Eocene formations to Pleistocene formations (James City Formation). The PCS Phosphate mine digs through these formations in search of phosphate that has accumulated in this ancient embayment.
|Collecting locations at Aurora, NC
Before you collect these tertiary fossils, I highly recommend a visit first to the
Aurora Fossil Museum.
There you can see the type of fossils to look for, and even fossil hunt at
their spoil pile across the street from the museum.
Collecting at the Mine:
Please note, due to safety reasons, the PCS mine is currently CLOSED to fossil collecting (updated spring 2012)
The PCS Phosphate mine is private, and they do no allow fossil collecting at the mine. However, the mine tailings are used in the nearby area. These tailings contain fossils:

Small Donor Committees
Q1. What is a Small Donor Committee?
A1. A Small Donor Committee (SDC) is a political committee that accepts
contributions from natural persons. [1] Each natural person must be a
U.S. citizen and can contribute no more than fifty dollars per calendar
If your committee will accept more than fifty dollars per person in a calendar year, see Political Committee.
Q2. How do I register a Small Donor Committee?
A2. You must register a committee online.
Before registering, make sure that you have:
A committee name and any acronyms that you will use.
A registered agent.
The registered agent's email address and phone number.
Physical and mailing addresses for the committee's principal place of business.
A description of your committee's purpose. This information should
be detailed, including candidates, ballot measure numbers, or policy
positions that you will support or oppose.
Financial information, including the name of the bank where the committee has or will have an account.
To register:
Go to the TRACER campaign finance disclosure website.
Click on the "Committee Registration" button.

Click on "Finished" to complete your registration.
Login information will be sent to the registered agent's email address.
If you need help using TRACER, see Learn to Use TRACER.
Q3. Who can form a Small Donor Committee?
A3. Corporations and labor organizations can establish Small Donor
Committees. However, corporations and labor organizations cannot
contribute to SDCs, and money contributed to a SDC cannot be given back
to a corporation or labor organization for general use.
A group of 2 or more natural persons can form a Small Donor Committee. If the committee is formed by only two persons, they can not be a married couple. [2]
Small Donor Committees established by substantially the same group of persons will be treated as a single committee.
Q4. What is a registered agent?
A4. A registered agent is the person to whom
all correspondence about the committee will be addressed. He or she is
also responsible for maintaining committee records and filing reports on
time. The registered agent must be a natural
The registered agent acts as a treasurer,
keeping track of all contributions and expenditures.
In addition to the registered agent, the committee may also
appoint a designated filing agent to be responsible for the timely filing of
Contribution and Expenditure reports.
Q5. Do we have to have a registered agent?
A5. Yes. All committees registered with our office must have a registered agent.
Q6. How do we change our registered agent?
A6. A committee can file an amended registration to change the registered agent.
A registered agent can also resign. To resign, a registered agent
must file a resignation letter with the appropriate filing officer via
certified mail.
There must be a registered agent associated with each committee at all times.
Q7. Can members of the organization(s) that formed the Small Donor Committee contribute?
A7. Members of organizations can contribute, but corporations and labor organizations themselves cannot.
Dues transferred to a small donor committee from a membership organization, whether
individually or as a lump sum, are considered pro rata contributions to
the committee from individual members. The actual transfer itself is not
considered a contribution from the membership organization to the small donor committee.
If the pro rata amount from each individual is $20 or more in a
reporting period, each individual member must be listed as a
Q8. Can corporations
and labor organizations make direct contributions to small donor committees?
A8. No, only their employees or members (who are natural persons) may make
contributions to small donor committees.
Q9. What are the reporting requirements for Small Donor Committees?
A9. All contributions received and expenditures made by a small donor committee must be
reported to our office. The exception is municipal committees who
report to the municipal clerk.
The name and address of the contributor must be reported for all contributions of $20 or more.
Q10. How do I amend our registration?
A10. Amendments, including name and address changes, changes to the
committee's purpose and changes to financial institution, can be filed
online at the TRACER campaign finance disclosure website. Amendments must be reported within five days of the change.
Q11. Can LLCs contribute to SDCs?
A11. No. Contributions from LLCs are prohibited, because LLCs are not natural persons.
Q12. Who can sign and file our reports?
A12. Only the registered agent may sign and electronically file committee reports.
Q13. How do we terminate a Small Donor Committee?
A13. You must submit a termination report through the
TRACER system to close a Small Donor Committee (with the exception of
municipal committees).
The committee must have a zero balance, which means there are no funds on hand and no outstanding debts or other obligations.
As long as the committee remains open, it must file disclosure reports.
The termination report may be filed at any time.
There are no regulations related to unexpended funds held by a small donor committee. However, keep in mind the definition of a small donor committee when expending these funds.
Q14. How do small donor committees work?
A14. Small donor committees are a form of political committee. The
contribution limit from their supporters is lower than political committees at
only $50 per natural person per year, but the committees may make larger
contributions to candidates. [3]
Q15. Can a small donor committee transfer a portion of the balance of funds on hand back to the local
union for regular union expenditure use?
A15. No.
Q16. Can the transfer
of membership dues from a membership organization to a small donor committee be
excluded from the $50 limitation set forth in Section 2(14)(a) based upon the
exclusive language contained in Section 2(5)(b), which states, that "Contribution
does not include…a transfer by a membership organization of a portion of a
member's dues to a small donor committee sponsored by such membership
A16. The transfer itself of membership dues from a membership organization to
a small donor committee is excluded from the $50 limitation set forth in
Article XXVIII, Sec. 2(14)(a) of the Colorado Constitution based upon the
exclusive language contained in Article XXVIII, Sec. 2(5)(b) of the Colorado
Constitution. However, that portion of a member's dues transferred from a small
donor committee is considered a pro-rata contribution from the individual
members to the small donor committee.
Q17. Is a membership
organization required to segregate the dues it receives from corporations from
the dues it receives from natural persons?
A17. Not if the dues received from corporations are payment for the
membership dues of natural persons. If the dues are received from corporations
for their own corporate memberships, then such dues must be segregated and cannot
be transferred to a small donor committee.
Q18. Can a membership
organization transfer dues to a small donor committee that were paid to the organization by a member's
corporation on behalf of one or more individual members?
A18. Yes. The dues transferred by a membership organization to the small
donor committee sponsored by such organization will be treated as pro-rata
contributions from the individual members whose portion of membership dues was
transferred. It is considered a contribution from the member, not the corporation.
Q19. How does a small
donor committee list a membership transfer from a membership organization since
they are not contributions?
A19. If a small donor committee (SDC) receives $20 or more in dues and other
contributions from any individual during a reporting period (as attributed
pro-rata), the small donor committee should list each such individual.
Amounts received from individuals that total less than $20 during a
reporting period should be reported as non-itemized contributions. The
membership organization must provide a list of the
members and the amount of dues transferred for each member. The small donor
committee must keep that list for audit purposes to be sure that individuals do
not exceed the $50 per year contribution limit.
Q20. Do we have to set up a bank account specifically for the committee?
A20. All
contributions received by a committee must be deposited in a financial
institution in a separate account with a title that includes the
committee name.
You can
choose which bank you will use for your committee account. Please
consult your bank and IRS regulations concerning account requirements,
which may vary depending on the institution.
Q21. What statutes and rules apply to Small Donor Committees?
A21. The following provisions apply to small donor committees:
Contribution limits: Colorado Constitution Article XXVIII Section 3 and Rule 10.14
Definitions: Colorado Constitution Article XXVIII Section 2(14)
Disclosure requirements: C.R.S. 1-45-108 & 1-45-109 and Campaign Finance Rule 10

COVINGTON - Samantha Fuhrey has had a busy year, and she's gearing up for more next year.After serving as principal at Indian Creek Middle School at the beginning of the year, she made the move to the Newton County School System's central office in July to take over as the director of Professional Learning, which was once a part-time position. Since then, she has worked to create a program for teachers and staff in the Newton County School System to encourage them to "make connections through professional learning" and development. Fuhrey said her department provides school- and job-specific learning that is aimed at improving student achievement. "We want to do this by retaining highly qualified, exemplary teachers and increasing the effectiveness of instructional techniques of all teachers in all classrooms and the effectiveness of all school leaders," she said in a presentation to the Newton County Board of Education during its November meeting. Currently her department is focusing on student achievement in math, reading and language arts, aiding limited English proficiency students, and maintaining schools as safe and drug-free environments staffed by highly qualified teachers. To do this, the department is offering a variety of professional learning opportunities, classes and leadership development programs and by enhancing the use of technology in schools. Her department has created several groups of teacher leaders that meet on a regular basis to focus on certain areas of need. One group is focusing on schools that did not make Adequate Yearly Progress and other schools that request help, while another group focuses on new teachers and staff. In other groups, teachers and administrators attend intensive training on an area and develop a plan for implementation and workshops to share with their schools. Some teacher leaders are also visiting schools and meeting with principals and fellow teachers to identify best practices and learn from previous mistakes, Fuhrey said. The teachers and staff who attend training sessions and take classes are encouraged to share what they've learned with other teachers at their schools - and other schools, if possible. Already Fuhrey said hundreds of educators have attended workshops, classes and other training sessions and are working on professional development projects. "We are pleased at the initiatives being taken for teachers, paraprofessionals and administrators," she said. In the future, educators will sign up or continue taking classes in the district or at other locations and online, and the Professional Learning department also plans to create and send out a survey to gather information about school needs and the next steps needed in the area of professional development.
