Let's get caught up on the investigation into a supposed sexual battery that may or may not involve Jameis Winston.
Democrat: This could take some time, and one reason it did not go forward initially is because the complainant did not want to press charges
Chief Assistant State Attorney Georgia Cappleman said a weeks-long time frame was "probably realistic" for the office to conduct its investigation of the allegations related to the Dec. 7, 2012, complaint filed with the Tallahassee Police Department. Cappleman said her office has been in communication with the complainant and her aunt, an attorney who is representing her.
Cappleman said she did not know what caused TPD to refer the dormant case to the State Attorney's Office this week. The move followed media inquires that began last week. TPD spokesman Officer David Northway said he was unable to provide any further details regarding the active, ongoing investigation. Cappleman said she was told by TPD officials they delayed referring the case because the complainant did not want to pursue charges.
What this does not say is that the alleged victim now wants this to go forward. While that is possible, and perhaps probable, we cannot assume that. All that we know is that the alleged victim is talking with the SAO.
I do think it says something about the quality of the evidence at the time of the initial investigation that this did not go forward without the support of the alleged victim. While difficult, if the evidence is strong enough, cases can be tried in Florida without the participation or will of the alleged victim.
On the potential elongated timetable, there is no love lost between the TPD and the SAO. I am sure that the SAO did not appreciate being blindsided about this, and thus the TPD was told to investigate more.
Winston Part Of Alleged Sexual Assault Investigation- State Attorney Speaks
Meggs said that Winston will be questioned if he is named a suspect. Winston has not been named a suspect at this time. Winston's lawyer, Tim Jansen, said that the Tallahassee Police Department wants a D.N.A. swab from Winston. Jansen said he doesn't know why the case was reopened, but has provided two witnesses that he says will prove Winston's innocence.
"There is no new evidence from what I understand, other than the evidence we have provided, which we believe will exonerate him," said Jansen.
Keep in mind that D.N.A., even if it is obtained and matched, is not indicative of sexual battery or any crime. It would solely indicate a potential encounter. Sexual battery is about circumstance and lack of consent.
According to ESPN, Winston is declining to talk to the police. That is within his rights, and remaining silent does not at all indicate guilt or innocence. It is probably a good strategy for the time being.
I am also interested if the alleged victim is telling the same story 11 months later.
If the investigation continues, things will begin to come out, both about Jameis Winston, and about the alleged victim. Tweets, pictures, videos, which may or may not tell a story about either person. It could get ugly. For both sides.
I also have a feeling that the Tampa Bay Times may be the main paper to watch on this going forward. I believe it was the first media outlet to inquire about the incident with the TPD.
Also, knowing that Jimbo Fisher is someone obsessed with planning and preparation, I was very interested in whether he would give backup Sean Maguire (third string until a few days ago when the backup QB Jacob Coker had knee surgery) considerable reps with the first team in the event that a charge would come down on Winston. I have been told that has definitely not happen. At least in this instance, Jimbo Fisher's actions back up his verbal support of his quarterback's character. People I speak with at Florida State are confident.

CATEGORIES Movies"Bridesmaids" is up for some big awards at Golden Globes ceremony tonight: Best Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical) and Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture (Comedy or Musical) for Kristen Wiig. The comedy is a bona fide critical darling and commercial success -- most likely because the subject matter hits close to home for many folks (myself -- four times a bridesmaid -- included).
So how real are the situations and sentiments in "Bridesmaids"? And what exactly can people do to avoid becoming like Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph's characters? Not to mention the burning question: Puppies as wedding shower favors -- is that a thing?
I called upon Sarah Pease -- owner and creative director of Brilliant Event Planning -- for answers. Sarah has professionally planned high-end weddings for five years, and she demystified -- and confirmed -- plenty of the plot points to this year's most celebrated ensemble flick.
As rewarding as your job can be, I'm sure it's really stressful. Imagine if every day of your job was the most important day of somebody's life. That's a pretty big weight on your shoulders!
Have you ever witnessed anything even remotely as crazy as what happened in "Bridesmaids"? Well, there are a lot of things that sort of bubble up to the surface. The role that I play as far as my clients are concerned -- a lot of times I am their confidant. One of the worst ones that sort of crushed my soul a little bit was the bride had her bachelorette party and one of her bridesmaids, who was -- I can't remember if she was married or engaged -- ended up hooking up with some person who was not her fiance or husband. On the bachelorette trip! And she was thinking, "Oh my God, of course that's awful and what am I gonna say -- how am I gonna act when I see her husband at the wedding?"
You're out helping your friend celebrate the fact that she's entering into a union with someone she's going to be faithful to, and then you go and cheat on your own partner. That's kind of a downer! Right? I was literally just struck. I had one wedding where the bridesmaids were definitely on something. The girls were literally in a daze, every single one of them. And I don't know what kind of drug they had taken, but they definitely had taken some. I would say, "We need you over here for a photo -- can you come over here with your bouquet?" And she would look at me, smile, and turn around and walk the opposite way. Not in a, "No, I'm not coming" but in just in an "I'm in La-La Land" kind of thing.
That sounds like the scene in "Sixteen Candles" where Molly Ringwald's sister takes painkillers on her wedding day and walks down the aisle all strung out. That's exactly what it was like! I was like, "There's nothing I can do about this. So we'll just have to corral them."
Are the breakdowns and strained friendships in "Bridesmaids" indicative of things that you've seen? Well, the reason why the movie is funny is because it has an element of truth to it. We've all been there -- I have been a bridesmaid many times -- and we've all been in that situation where you're sort of thrown together and have this kind of mishmash of people that maybe wouldn't hang out at any other time together. And I mean, yeah, look at what happens to brides when they're planning their weddings: normal, friendly girls turn into bridezillas. And certainly there are bridesmaidzillas -- that is an absolute fact.
And so often, as in "Bridesmaids," you see your friend moving on to this new step in her life and it makes you take stock of where you are, and sometimes that stings. That too -- and I think the one-upping in that movie is very true as well. Especially from the perspective of a planner -- there have been some clients of mine who've said, either jokingly or not, "I want to make sure that none of my bridesmaids look prettier than me." Or like, who was the one character who was great at everything and planned everything?
Rose Byrne's character -- she and Kristen Wiig totally butted heads. Yes! There's always sort of that competition, absolutely. Even when it's a group of girls that all get along together. I mean, throw in a bridesmaid dress and they all sort of lose their minds.
There's a movie called "Bachelorette" debuting at Sundance this year. It stars Kirsten Dunst and Isla Fisher, and it's about a group of girls who get asked to be bridesmaids for a girl they teased in high school. It's interesting that all of these female ensemble comedies about the subject are emerging. What do you make of the sudden fascination? It was only a matter of time until something girl-related, like a girl "Hangover," came out, so I'm not surprised one bit. The wedding industry has already seen a tremendous amount of success in the TV arena.
It's also interesting that the women in "Bridesmaids" are older. Not so long ago, brides on film were always in their early or mid-20's, and these women are in their mid-30's. Is that pretty indicative of real life, too -- with your clients? You hit the nail right on the head - especially here in New York City. People who live in large cities probably get married at a later age than those maybe in smaller towns. I mean, I'll tell you as somebody who's born and raised in Green Bay, Wisconsin, that most of my friends back home are married and have babies already. And I'm just about to turn 31, so I'm behind the times. I'm actually getting married myself, in June.
Ah, congratulations! Have you ever found yourself being the nightmare bridesmaid -- or even now, bride? Gosh, you can interview my friends and ask them if I was a bridesmaidzilla -- I might have been! [laughs] I don't think I've been a bridezilla too much. Just by virtue of being a wedding planner, I don't think I get wrapped up in it as much as the average bride would. I think a lot of times the people who have a tendency to be a bridezilla are those that -- they're getting wedding'd, they're not getting married.
In "Bridesmaids," I don't think Maya Rudolph's character was as much a bridezilla as she was the omega to Rose Byrne's alpha. At a certain point she just took a back seat to her own big day. Do you see that happen often? Completely! I think that the people who have the most success are those who are really clear on exactly what's important to them. So for example, "It's important to me that you have this dress. It's important to me that you have these earrings and these shoes and get your hair done." But keeping in mind that requiring your people to do all those things might be an investment that many times is a huge financial commitment.
That's also touched upon in the movie -- Kristen Wiig's character simply didn't have the money for all this stuff. The bridesmaid dress, the flight to Vegas, throwing the shower. That's happened to me before, too -- I know it's not unusual. How should real-life brides avoid becoming like Maya Rudolph's character?
Yeah, I think that the pitch that I would give someone who's wanting to make sure that they keep the peace -- No. 1 is communication. And I think opinion polling isn't a bad idea, in a non-confrontational way. I would recommend giving each one of them a call one-on-one as part of a wider conversation.
As opposed to what happened in "Bridesmaids," which was a mass email about the bachelorette party that turned into an out-of-control conference call. Exactly! I feel like sometimes bachelorettes are a lot of societal pressure -- like, you have to go to Cancun. And it doesn't have to be like that.
That's another reason it's so fascinating that Hollywood has finally peeked behind the curtain. Women are so polite about all this stuff -- they don't want to rock the boat, even when the demands are completely out of line. Absolutely. And I really think before you pick up the phone and call any of your bridesmaids, one thing that you should absolutely do is write down everything you want to do -- your desires for them as far as dress goes, shoes, hair and make-up, earrings, jewelry, bridal showers, bachelorette, travel and accommodations, wedding gift. Put all those numbers down on paper and see how much it adds up to and ask yourself, If the tables were turned, would you be comfortable spending that much money for your friend?
You mentioned the wedding shower -- which makes me think of the movie and the fact that it had those outrageous invitations with live butterflies, and they gave puppies away as gifts. Have you dealt with any equally ostentatious favors or invites? Well, there's all different kinds of interpretations of what's over the top and elaborate, but certainly we've never given away a puppy. Invitations are just one piece of the puzzle for me, but there've been mirrors and embroidered silk folios with crystals tied around it and strings of pearls. The sky's the limit when it comes to these kinds of things. I think I read somewhere that there was a celebrity wedding where the favors were all iPads.
Woah. Sign me up for that shindig! Right? Exactly. I'd like to be on the guest list!

Product Number: 002-299-0357
The game is word association, and the topic is "Tom Eltang shapes"... GO!
"Eskimo, Pac-Man, Horn, Cutty, Poker, Brandy, Egg, Tubos, Elephant's Foot, Dublin, Tulip, Volcano, Acorn... that one shape that's technically a bent Dublin, but looks like a wicked stalactite, conventional neo-classic Bulldog (really!), the 'Knife Pipe', Tomato..." Billiard? Yes, Tom makes them. In fact, though considerably different, the Stanwell '208' shape was created by Tom. Still, a traditional Billiard from Tom is scarce enough that I normally wouldn't associate the same with this carver. This is only the fourth smooth Eltang Billiard to go on our site, and only one other was a saddle Billiard.
So, how is Tom Eltang with a shape which many declare to be the toughest to freehand on the planet? Seriously, would you expect the answer to be anything other than 'wow!'? The bowl is decently sized (roughly 2" x 1.8") and the shank matches the bowl in terms of generosity. The bit is exactly equal to the combined length of the bowl and shank, and sterling silver ring provides a perfect bridge from the shank onto the saddle. Superb grain, super pipe.

reviews for
Northwestern College
5 out of 5 Stars
Out of all the things that I've done in my life, going to school for the paralegal program rates among the top. I feel that I finally have some direction in my life and I am very happy with my education here.
Life while I was in school was rough because as a single parent I was trying to balance a full-time job while going to school part-time in the evening. There were times when I was so overwhelmed I just wanted to quit, give up, and walk away! However, I stuck to it and pushed myself because I wasn't going to let anything stand in my way of getting my degree and setting an example for my son. I am grateful for the support system I had behind me- not only my family and friends, but the teachers and staff at Northwestern College who helped me along the way. Without them, I would not have made it to this point and for them I am so grateful!
I was the first person in my family to ever graduate from college and they are so proud of me. I'm glad I chose Northwestern College because they taught me a lot about hard work and what it takes to be successful.
My two year old daughter is what actually motivated me to attend and graduate from college so we could have a better life.
I heard a lot of good things about Northwestern College, so I decided to take a tour of the campus. I really liked the school as far as the size, the teachers, and the flexible scheduling.
I chose Northwestern College because of how well organized the school was and what kind of programs they offered.
The thing I like most about Northwestern College is that a lot of my classes are more focused on my major so I don't have to take a lot of classes that don't apply.
When I heard about Northwestern College from a friend, I didn't do any second or third thinking about it. I just applied, got my student loans, and got with the plan.
The size of the classrooms and the campus is what attracted me to Northwestern College and the greatest benefit would definitely be the one-on-one student/teacher relationships.
Northwestern College has great instructors. They make classes so much fun that I actually wake up in the morning excited to go to school.
It takes courage to open your mind, to study, to learn, and to create ideas of your own. My favorite thing about Northwestern College is that they encourage you to have ideas of your own as part of your learning experience. They pull out your creativity, they heighten your teamwork skills, and they remain open to hearing how you feel.
My training at Northwestern College has been very thorough. The teachers help a lot to make sure each student understands the material. They will sit down and go over it again and again until they know you've got it.
I chose Northwestern College because I wanted a smaller environment, and I am also very close with my family so I wanted to stay close to home. Going to Northwestern College is just like being part of another big family. I have classes with a lot of the same people and it's a great support system. There is always someone to study with.
I'm a parent and I work full-time, so Northwestern College is flexible and works with my schedule, which I love. They also offer online courses allowing me to work from home so I can still spend time with my family and do other things that I need to.
The instructors at Northwestern College are amazing. Whenever I need help, they are always there
for me. It's something I never had elsewhere in my education.

YORK Ś On the way to his final resting place Saturday, David S. Kime Jr.Æs loved ones took a spin through the Burger King drive-through on the corner of Route 30 and Pennsylvania Avenue for one last WHOPPER JR.
The 88-year-old West York man died Jan. 20 at York Hospital.
ōHe always lived by his own rules,ö said Linda Phiel, one of KimeÆs three daughters. ōHis version of eating healthy was the lettuce on the WHOPPER JR.ö
As a tribute to a man who loved fast food, PhielÆs family stopped for some burgers on the way to the cemetery. Mourners followed the hearse carrying KimeÆs flag-draped casket through the drive-thru. Each got a WHOPPER JR.

A special student
In June 1960, Karl Strick (Special Student '60-'66) arrived in Canada from Germany to pursue his dream of an engineering career and a better life. "I left Germany believing that Canada was the land of self-made men, where education was secondary to experience and drive," explains Karl, who had arrived in Canada with the equivalent of a vocational high school diploma in engineering. "However, shortly after I arrived I realized that I would be unable to earn the salary I believed I deserved unless I had professional engineering credentials, so I set my sights on acquiring a professional engineer certificate, a process that would take me more than six years."
Growing up in Germany during the WWII meant Karl was no stranger to challenge. In fact, his experiences were central in developing the determination to succeed he relied upon to create a foothold in Canada.
Karl was born in Cologne in September 1934, making him just a few days short of five years old when war broke out in 1939. His father was drafted in 1940, leaving Karl's mother his sole caretaker. Karl had first-hand experience of the divisiveness and tragedy that characterized so many people's lives during the war; his own close relatives included both an SS trooper and a Jewish lawyer, and he recollects a disabled childhood friend who was forcibly removed from her home and who subsequently disappeared during the time of the Nazis' eugenics-based euthanasia program.
Many of Karl's early war memories are of huddling in shelters during air raids, including the infamous RAF-led 1,000-bomber raid in May 1942 that devastated Cologne. Karl and his mother were among the thousands who fled the city after that raid, relocating to the eastern region of Silesia.
It was thanks to his mother's habit of listening secretly to war news on German-language BBC Radio and a tip-off from a friend that mother and son escaped from Silesia in 1944 on one of the last trains leaving the region ahead of the Russian army's advance and a spate of vengeance killings of German nationals. Karl was then nine.
Following the war, Karl and his mother continued to struggle, barely surviving on limited rations and the little extra food Karl was able to beg from farmers. it wasn't until 1948 that their situation began to improve.
In 1959, Karl met J.S. Campbell, a Queen's professor and president of Free Piston Development Company (FPDC) at Karl's workplace in Cologne. Since Karl had a patent on a unique part for a diesel engine being developed by FPDC, the Queen's-based company paid for his travel to Canada and guaranteed him a job for one year. Keen to forge a new path and determined to build a successful life for himself, Karl accepted the offer.
His new job landed him straight on Queen's campus where, only four weeks after arriving, he met a young nursing student named Fran Wilson (KGH'62), who would turn out to be the love of his life. Fran was instrumental in encouraging Karl to pursue the credentials he needed to qualify as a professional engineer. With Fran's support and Professor Campbell's assistance, Karl arranged a meeting with University Registrar Jean Royce in the summer of 1960.
"Initially Miss Royce informed me that my education in Germany, which involved the completion of apprenticeship programs in mechanics and drafting, was not sufficient to admit me to Queen's as a regular student," Karl says. "However, since I possessed an interpreter certificate in English and was proficient in French and German, she decided to take a chance on me."
In 1960, Karl was registered at Queen's as a Special Student, a designation that, Miss Royce explained, would allow him to take courses and write exams but not allow him to accumulate credits towards a Queen's degree.
For the next six years, Karl studied calculus and chemistry with Arts and Science students and attended classes with students majoring in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. He also wrote all 14 exams sponsored by the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario, sometimes completing as many as four Queen's classes in preparation for one APEO exam.
"Professor William Rice, who taught mechanical engineering courses, gave me some of his old textbooks to help me out," recollects Karl. "When he learned that I was planning to write fourteen APEO exams plus a thesis without first getting a degree from Queen's, he smiled and commented, 'You do like to do things the hard way, don't you?'"
Karl studied calculus and chemistry with Arts and Science students and attended classes with students majoring in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering. One of his most memorable mentors was calculus professor Ralph Clench.
"Ralph Clench was a fascinating character: you'd see him on his bicycle in summer and in his buffalo coat in winter, tool pouch strapped to his side," says Karl. "He simultaneously taught me calculus, algebra, analytic geometry and trigonometry, and I took advantage of tutorials and extra sessions in his apartment overlooking the park, sometimes receiving additional coaching from a couple of graduate students who were too polite to laugh at my questions."
In addition to Professor Clench, Karl fondly remembers Dr. Wood, an emeritus professor of mathematics, and his original mentor, Professor Campbell, who taught Karl stress analysis, invited him round for dinner, and whose son Jim was the best man at Karl and Fran's wedding in 1962.
In 1966, Karl was formally awarded the title of professional engineer (P.Eng.) in the province of Ontario. "Graduates of foreign universities usually have to write two or three exams before they are certified by the APEO; my way of acquiring the certification by writing 14 exams plus a thesis is very rare!" says Karl.
This June, Karl and Fran Strick will visit Kingston from their home in Birmingham, Alabama, for the 50th anniversary reunion of Fran's KGH class, a sentimental journey they are both looking forward to very much.
"Queen's and Fran were both instrumental in my success," says Karl. "Without the initial approval I received from Jean Royce, I cannot imagine that I would have had the career I have had."
Karl's memoir of his childhood in Germany during the Second World War, Boy with a White Flag, is available from Amazon.com.

The 30th Annual Labor Day Festival in Olive Branch, Illinois kicked off Monday.
MURPHYSBORO, IL (KFVS) - There are computers in virtually every office inside the Jackson County Courthouse and other county offices.
But, that doesn't mean that the county employees can do whatever they want to on the computer or for however long they want.
"It was brought to my attention that there was an issue with possible computers being used on social networking sites," said Chairman John Evans of the Jackson County Board. "So I asked our IT for a report."
Evans says that report showed that there were some county employees in some county offices spending upwards of six hours or more on social networking sites while on the county's clock.
"It was brought before the legislative committee and the legislative committee in turn voted to limit it to 75 minutes," said Chairman Evans.
Which means that county employees can now only go onto social networking sites on county computers during their lunch breaks and their two 15 minute breaks daily.
"And this was done to ensure that the taxpayers dollars are being spent efficiently," said Evans. "And that people aren't abusing what the taxpayers expect out of them."
This may just be the first step in regulating where county employees can go on the internet during county business hours.
"I think this 75 minutes will be the first step to see how efficient it is. And it could go even farther," said Evans. "The taxpayers know it costs a lot to run the county. And I think the taxpayers think they ought to be getting their dollars worth for what they're paying. And that's what the county board thinks as well."

A learning disability is a permanent neurological disorder that effects the manner in which information is received, organized, remembered, and then retrieved or expressed. Students, with learning disabilities possess an average to above average intellectual endowment.
Terms associated with learning disabilities include:
Characteristics may include an inability to perform in accordance with the norm in such areas as:
Accommodations may include:
Eligibility for Disability Services at the College of Saint Elizabeth is dependent upon the nature of the disability and its impact on learning. A person might meet eligibility requirements of vocational rehabilitation, disabled veterans or any other rehabilitation agency; however, she/he may not meet eligibility at the College of Saint Elizabeth.
One of the reasons that the College has developed these guidelines is to ensure consistency throughout the institution. These guidelines are fairly consistent with those used by agencies administering standardized assessments.
The ultimate decision for eligibility on campus is a judgment that must be made by the Coordinator of Disability Services based upon the guidelines developed for each type of disability. Once a student has been verified as disabled by the College of Saint Elizabeth Office of Disability Services, a disability eligibility form should be completed and placed in a confidential file with the determining documentation.
Professionals conducting assessment and rendering diagnosis of specific learning disabilities must be qualified. A qualified professional must hold a degree in a field related to the diagnosis of SLD and have at least one year of diagnostic expertise with adults and older adolescents. Recommended practitioners include: certified and/or licensed psychologist, learning disabilities specialists, educational therapists, and diagnosticians in public schools or colleges and rehabilitation services and private practitioners with the above qualifications are typically considered qualified. The diagnostician must be an impartial individual who is not a family member of the student.
The following guidelines are provided to assist the service provider in collaborating with each student to determine appropriate accommodations. Documentation serves as a foundation that legitimizes a student's request for appropriate accommodations. Required documentation includes:
Further assessment by an appropriate professional may be required if co-existing learning disabilities or other disabling conditions are indicated. The student and the disability specialist at the institution collaboratively determine appropriate accommodations.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — A Walmart employee put out a fryer fire Monday morning, but the store was evacuated due to the amount of smoke that resulted from the small blaze.
Damage was contained to the fryer, located in the deli area, and no one was injured in the incident, according to Plattsburgh District 3 Assistant Chief Scott Ewing.
"It appears to have been a malfunction in the fryer," he said.
The fire was extinguished by the time firefighters arrived, according to Ewing, but crews worked to ensure the environment was safe.
Many customers waited outside as firefighters set up exhaust fans to blow the place clean.
Charlene Berry of Montreal, who was visiting Plattsburgh for a day of shopping, was in Walmart when the incident occurred.
She said the lights went out in the grocery section of the store and customers were told to leave their carts and go outside.
"It wasn't scary at all," she said, adding that she was just eager to return to shopping.
Plattsburgh District 3 was assisted by the Morrisonville and South Plattsburgh volunteer fire departments.
The 911 call came in at 8:56 a.m., and employees and shoppers were allowed back inside at about 9:48 a.m.

WOW what an ambitious project.
Welcome with us Alex and I wish you all the best. I was looking for ages for a video I once saw on the net where the cloudbuster was tested and three Ufos kept showing up to take the humidity down again. It was Reich's kind of biography and how he struggled to smuggle his invention all over the place. Maybe you can help?
Warm regards.

I requested 6 plus months ago that I needed an accessible room. Maybe its just an older boat my little wheelchair could barely fit through the door and the rest room was really small although Guess Services Fernando said that my room was accessible and the rest rooms on the ships are smaller like that. I could barely get my chair in the bathroom this is really unacceptable took a cruise a year ago on the Bahamas Celebration which is older than the Paradise. There bathroom was bigger and accommodating. I don't enjoy crawling on the floor of a bathroom I shouldn't have to do that to take a shower or to get to the toilet because my chair can barely fit in the bathroom. I'm a human being I don't enjoy the inhumane feeling I got and you that are reading this wouldn't like that feeling either I hope your newer boats are in better condition and most importantly the facilities are more accommodating for people with wheelchairs .
Our first stop the Cayman. Was anxious to go on my excursion went to Guess Services and the lady said I could not leave the boat because it was a tender port and for someone to help me down the stairs to the boat would be a liability so now it's like one problem after the other. I'm feeling like a second class citizen now. So the Cayman Island was a no go for me...and totally boring day on the ship. They assured me that I will be able to leave the ship in Cozumel which I did and had a good time which at this point I really needed.
Coming back Tampa airport once again I found myself waiting and waiting for accessible vehicle to take me to the airport. This time after an hour wait the bus with a lift came. I know I just mentioned the bad first impressions are everything, and when you experienced what I've experienced the bad is all you have to really go on. Will I travel with carnival again? Probably, not. I feel that Carnival is really not accommodating to people with disabilities and I could really understand that some ports are tendered but should be alternative fun activities on the boat while the boat is docked or a better way to get people with wheelchairs off the boat and on their excursion.
My recommendations to you, Make sure all your ships rest rooms especially the ones for people with disabilities are up to date and spacious I don't like to crawl on the floor in the bathroom especially when my wheelchair is really small. I have a bad taste in my mouth from this experience and I'm not happy because Carnival is not fun for people with Physical disabilities.

"It's the best move at this time, the only move. Any other move would be cost-prohibitive."
Interim East Providence Superintendent John DeGoes made that statement to the School Committee Thursday night in recommending the closure of Oldham School in Riverside – one of the oldest schools and the smallest elementary school in the city.
All pupils at Oldham but new kindergarten kids and the staff would be moved to Waddington Elementary School in Riverside. Kindergarten pupils would attend the Meadowcrest School.
DeGoes made that recommendation after being charged by the East Providence Budget Commission to trim the school budget by closing a school because of declining enrollment.
The RI Department of Education also does not favor spending between $2 million and $2.5 million on fire safety, security and the roof for the deteriorating building, DeGoes said.
Closing Oldham School also disrupts the fewest number of students, 178, and it adds no additional transportation costs, he said.
"I do not like the idea of closing a school," DeGoes said. "And I did everything I could to find an alternative to closing Oldham. But we'll need to spend money on safety issues or state officials won't open it. And there isn't enough money to address all the safety conditions at all the schools. I don't think we can keep all the schools open."
A public hearing to discuss the recommendation, probably to be held at the Riverside Middle School, will be scheduled.
As could have been anticipated, the interim superintendent's recommendation was met with some emotional criticism and outright disdain by some parents and Oldham School supporters and a couple of School Committee members.
School Committee member Timothy Conley may have been the harshest critic of the superintendent's recommendation.
"I couldn't disagree with you more," Conley said. "It's the best performing school in the district and you're closing it. This is positively representative of why the East Providence Budget Commission had to come into the city."
"There is absolutely no way I would support this," he said. "Oldham is a model of success."
His remarks drew loud applause from several dozen people in the audience.
The major issues are the renovations that need to be done to the building to open it next September, DeGoes said. All the elementary schools need to be brought up to fire codes, including the need for interior doors, windows, hardware and a fire alarm system. All have security issues.
But Oldham appears to have the most structural problems, and "we really don't have enough money to go around," he said.
The district's operating budget needs to be cut as well, DeGoes said after the meeting. And there is unused classroom space in other schools with enrollment declining. The state doesn't like to see that.
"Waddington can house up to around 600 students," he said. "It will be able to handle the additional students."
Shuttering the school would only save an estimated $70,000 a year for utilities and maintenance costs, DeGoes said. No teachers will be laid off. They will all be moved to Waddington.
It's the rehabilitation costs that are the major expenses, he said.
Many of the people who were given time to respond to his recommendation had an issue with the estimated costs for the renovations. So did School Committee member Anthony Ferreira.
"We need hard cost figures," he said. "We need exact figures. People expect that."
City Councilor Chrissy Rossi of Riverside, a former School Committee member, had numerous criticisms of the recommendation, including its impact on children even though they would all still be together in Waddington.
"Closing a school that is excelling is not good for our children," she said.
"One high performing school in the district and we're closing it," Conley said. "The costs don't justify closing this school."
DeGoes took exception to Conley's comments about Oldham being the only high performing school in East Providence.
"I reject that comment," said DeGoes. "All of our schools are high performing. I would be happy to send any of my children to any of the schools. I don't want you to give the impression that there is only one school that is great. That's not right."
"A remedy is needed that effects the least number of students," he said.
Valerie Lawson, who heads the teachers' union, agreed with the superintendent about the quality of all the schools. But she said the union is still an advocate for maintaining all the neighborhood schools.
School Committee Chairman Joel Monteiro defended DeGoes and his recommendation. He also agreed after the meeting that the School Committee would probably see the same type of reaction from the parents at any other school recommended for closure
"He followed the instructions given to him, and he picked the best option," Monteiro said. "I'm not ready to lose a school either. But he did his job. This is not an enjoyable situation for any of us. It's not pleasant for any of us."
DeGoes said he considered several other alternatives while looking at space in all the other schools.
Among the other options: moving all the fifth grades to the middle schools ,and combining the fifth- and sixth-graders and the seventh- and eighth-graders in the two middle schools.
"I could see some education benefit" in the latter, he said. "But the problem was the cost factor, and displacing students from all the schools – not just one – while making a major reorganization of school lines."
"Those options didn't work," he said. "My final conclusion was to close Oldham School."

WidSets and Web Run-Time both execute widgets and in many ways they both provide similar end user benefits. However, there are differences.
- WidSets is a service with a controlling server side. The widgets cannot operate or be upgraded without the server. This makes the system secure and brings an easy-to-use end user interface, but also a number of limitations for developers. WidSets is an integral part of neither the S60 nor the Series 40 platforms. WidSets is specifically designed to support the existing install base of Java enabled phones and will work on most phones that feature MIDP 2.0 and CLDC 1.1. That means that widgets offered via WidSets can reach 100s of millions of end users today. From a technology perspective, WidSets is closely linked to the advantages and disadvantages that are part of the JME implementation.
- Web Run-Time is a core technology in the S60 platform from S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack II onwards. That means it is a coming technology, but one that promise some real benefits. Based on commonly known and used technologies (XHTML, CSS, AJAX, and JavaScript) there's an almost flat learning curve for today's web designer/developer community. It also means that the high productivity these technologies offer now can be used to develop mobile application not previous viable in "slower" technologies.
Already today there are thousands of desktop widgets and many of these can relatively easily be ported to S60, but of course some of these are more relevant for mobile user than others. This is of course in the end up to the end users, but what are nifty small apps on the desktop could prove real time savers for the mobile phone.
Anyone, who's a user or author of a desktop widget, is encouraged to help create a pool of widgets you would want at your disposal while on the move.

Lakewood police on Saturday were investigating the stabbing death of a Joint Base Lewis-McChord soldier as a potential hate crime.
The altercation that ended in the death of 20-year-old Tevin A. Geike began about 2:30 a.m. with a racial insult shouted at three white soldiers by one of five black men in a passing car, police spokesman Chris Lawler said.
"At this point, it appears that it could have been a hate crime," Lawler said. "We're certainly looking at it now as a potential hate crime. We're not going to say that it is, but according to two guys at the scene, it appears to be racially motivated."
Lt. Col. Joe Sowers, public affairs officer at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, said that Geike and his two companions were members of the 7th Infantry Division. Sowers said Geike had been in the Army 35 months and had no combat experience. He could not confirm Geike's rank.
Geike graduated from high school in North Charleston, S.C., in 2010.
Police said the incident took place in the 12500 block of Pacific Highway Southwest. Officers responded to a 911 call and found Geike suffering from multiple stab wounds. Emergency medical crews responded, but he died at the scene.
Lawler said the two surviving soldiers said they were walking south on Pacific Highway when a vehicle approached them.
"They said someone in the vehicle made some comment about them being white," Lawler said.
One of the soldiers yelled back something about those in the car treating combat soldiers with disrespect, Lawler said. The car turned around and stopped next to the soldiers. Five black males got out of the car and surrounded the soldiers.
A verbal confrontation started, Lawler said, but the driver called his friends off when he learned some of the soldiers truly were combat veterans.
As the group returned to the car, one of the suspects appeared to bump into Geike, Lawler said. The two soldiers saw their friend fall to the ground as the car sped away. The soldiers then discovered their companion had been stabbed and was bleeding profusely.
The soldiers told police that the car was a midnight blue sedan, perhaps a BMW or a Volkswagen Jetta, with four doors, tinted windows and stock rims with low-profile tires.
The suspects were described as being in their mid-20s, Lawler said.
Police described the main suspect as about 6 feet 1, medium build and wearing a blue zip-up. The driver was described as being 5 feet 7 with short cropped hair and wearing a blue-and-white horizontal-striped shirt.
One man was described as 5 feet 7 with short hair and wearing a gray tank top. Another man was described as 5 feet 6 to 5 feet 7, wearing camouflage pants (described as paintball splats). The fifth man is described as 5 feet 6.
Investigating officers have recovered some surveillance video, Lawler said, but so far nothing sufficient to identify the suspects or their car.
"There's a lot of video out there," he said, "but nothing good enough so far so that we can say, 'OK, this is who did it.' "

Simultaneously, two very different stories are unfolding about women in the military, speaking to the best and worst about our force's capacity to reform and repulse. As the Pentagon allows more women to train for roles that had been previously closed under the antiquated combat exclusion rules, the unfolding rape scandal at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas shows that some men still view assault as sport. The mixed narratives, some argue, suggest what can happen when the sexes merge, when the stresses of war mix with physical proximity. Even General Edward Rice, the head of Air Force personnel, hinted that separation in basic training might be the best solution.
This notion — that sexual abuse is somehow tied to the the emergence of women in closer proximity to combat — is a complete ruse. Women in combat are not a cause of sexual assault, but they could be the cure.

For some people, smoking marijuana makes them feel good. Within minutes of inhaling, a user begins to feel "high," or filled with pleasant sensations. THC triggers brain cells to release the chemical dopamine. Dopamine creates good feelings—for a short time. But that's just one effect…
Imagine this: You're in a ball game, playing out in left field. An easy fly ball comes your way, and you're psyched. When that ball lands in your glove your team will win, and you'll be a hero. But, you're a little off. The ball grazes your glove and hits the dirt. So much for your dreams of glory.
Such loss of coordination can be caused by smoking marijuana. And that's just one of its many negative effects. Marijuana affects memory, judgment, and perception. Under the influence of marijuana, you could fail to remember things you just learned, watch your grade point average drop, or crash a car.
Also, since marijuana can affect judgment and decision making, using it can cause you to do things you might not do when you are thinking straight—such as engaging in risky sexual behavior, which can result in exposure to sexually transmitted diseases, like HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, or getting in a car with someone who's been drinking or is high on marijuana.
It's also difficult to know how marijuana will affect a specific person at any given time, because its effects vary based on individual factors: a person's genetics, whether they've used marijuana or any other drugs before, and how much marijuana is taken. Effects can also be unpredictable when marijuana is used in combination with other drugs.
THC Affects Brain Functioning
THC is up to no good in the brain. THC finds brain cells, or neurons, with specific kinds of receptors called cannabinoid receptors and binds to them.
Certain parts of the brain have high concentrations of cannabinoid receptors. These areas are the hippocampus, the cerebellum, the basal ganglia, and the cerebral cortex. The functions that these brain areas control are the ones most affected by marijuana.
For example, THC interferes with learning and memory—that is because the hippocampus—a part of the brain with a funny name and a big job—plays a critical role in certain types of learning. Disrupting its normal functioning can lead to problems studying, learning new things, and recalling recent events. The difficulty can be a lot more serious than forgetting if you took out the trash this morning, which happens to everyone once in a while. A recent study followed people from age 13 to 38 and found that those who used marijuana a lot in their teens and continued into adulthood had a significant drop in IQ, even if they quit.
Smoking Marijuana Can Make Driving Dangerous
The cerebellum is the section of our brain that controls balance and coordination. When THC affects the cerebellum's function, it makes scoring a goal in soccer or hitting a home run pretty tough. THC also affects the basal ganglia, another part of the brain that's involved in movement control.
These THC effects can cause disaster on the road. Research shows that drivers on marijuana have slower reaction times, impaired judgment, and problems responding to signals and sounds. A recent analysis of data from several studies found that marijuana use more than doubles a driver's risk of being in an accident. In fact, studies conducted in a number of localities have found that approximately 4 to 14 percent of drivers who sustained injury or death in traffic accidents tested positive for THC.
Marijuana Use Increases Heart Rate
Within a few minutes after inhaling marijuana smoke, an individual's heart begins beating more rapidly, the bronchial passages relax and become enlarged, and blood vessels in the eyes expand, making the eyes look red. The heart rate, normally 70 to 80 beats per minute, may increase by 20 to 50 beats per minute or, in some cases, even double. This effect can be greater if other drugs are taken with marijuana.

Soccer improves to 4-0 in Great South action
October 20, 2013
Macon, GA-The Salem College soccer team continued their hot play with a 4-0 win at Georgia Wesleyan to complete the series sweep. Taylor Norman (Fairfax, VA) netted her first career hat-trick in the win. Salem improves to 11-3-2 overall and 4-0 against Great South opponents, while Wesleyan falls to 8-5.
The Spirits dominated the first half with a 21-1 shot advantage, but they couldn't find the back of the net. They quickly changed that with four goals in 25 minutes to start the second half.
Sawyer Ferguson (Billings, MT) got the game-winning goal in the 53rd minute. Norman scored her first goal off an assist by Nataly Mojica (Dallas, TX) three minutes later. In the 66th minute, Bethany Kent (Manassas, VA) assisted Norman. She finished her hat trick with another assisted goal by Mojica in the 71st minute.
Paige Ketchum (Jacksonville, NC) earned the shutout in goal. Salem out-shot Wesleyan 38-2, and they had an 8-0 corner kick advantage.
The Spirits finish out the regular season with two home games against Ferrum on Tuesday and Agnes Scott on Saturday.

A Truly Unique Field
Let's say I'm designing an employee database for a secret spy agency. This agency has all different kinds of employees (spies, janitors, middle managers, etc), all of which need to be in the db. Each kind of employee has its own fields, so each kind of employee needs to have its own table.
For example: On the "spies" table, the fields might be "primary weapon," "current location," "kill count," etc. But for middle managers, the fields could be "department" and "budget."
But ALL employees need to have a "panic phrase" that is unique to them (in case they're captured and can only get a single word out to the agency). I can't have a unique "panic phrase" field in each table, because that could allow for duplicate panic phrases in different tables.
I could put all the panic phrases in their own table and just have a "panic_id" field in the employee tables, but then we have the same problem: two employees on different tables could point to the same panic phrase id.
How do I design the database to make this work? Or is there no solution, other than checking each field in each table?

it's really simple, you will need a "supertype" table and several "subtype" tables
you've used the term "employee" consistently, so let's call the supertype table the employees table
their employee id would go in here as the PK, as well as any columns that they all share -- and panic phrase fits the bill perfectly
then in each of the subtype tables, managers, spies, etc., they would have their individual custom columns, as well as their employee id as PK, but also simultaneously as FK to the employees table

Christina Pedersen Gets an F(-Bomb)
For years, Canadian comedy troupe the Royal Canadian Air Farce have been firing chicken cannons and F-Bombing worthy targets for scorn on their annual New Years' Eve TV special. Past targets have included former President George W. Bush (chosen as top target many times during his Presidency), and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman. This year, as chosen by their viewers, they've included a special target -- skip ahead to about 41 minutes in, and you will see. She didn't quite beat out a haggle of corrupt mayors, but it's damn close. Our national healing is officially complete -- thank you, Air Farce! (N.B. -- The video is Canada only...oops!)
