ARCADIA, Calif. (April 17, 2010) – Escalating in distance with each of four graded stakes victories on turf, Tuscan Evening conquered 1 ¼ miles and three outclassed opponents in Saturday's Grade II, $150,000 Santa Barbara Handicap to emerge as a leading Horse of the Meet candidate as Santa Anita's 75th anniversary season nears the finish line.
As the 3-10 favorite in the 62nd running of the Santa Barbara for fillies and mares, the 5-year-old Irish-bred mare carried 124 pounds including jockey Rafael Bejarano to a one-length victory over General Consensus while running the distance in 2:00.22.
Her accomplishment of four graded stakes wins during a Santa Anita race meet has been exceeded only by the five that Hall of Famer Round Table won in 1958. The stakes won by Round Table would not become graded until the grading system was instituted in 1974.
Tuscan Evening won graded stakes ranging from 6 ½ furlongs to Saturday's 1 ¼ miles. In Saturday's coup de grace, her 124-pound impost was the most carried by any Santa Barbara winner since Waya bore 130 pounds in 1979. Female turf champions Miss Alleged and Estrapade finished second under 124-pound assignments in 1992 and 1986, respectively.
After Bejarano let Tuscan Evening assume the lead soon after Saturday's break, she was able to dictate the terms. They included pedestrian early splits of 24.56, 49.02 and 1:13.77.
Restless Soul, who had been tracking in second under Joel Rosario, tried to apply some pressure nearing the far turn, but was quickly discouraged. Meanwhile, General Consensus, with Alex Solis aboard, closed gamely from last. They prompted Bejarano to bear down on the winner, but he only needed to show her the whip.
"She relaxed so well the whole race, and I never hit her today," Bejarano said. "She was full of run at the finish."
At the wire, it was another 4 ¾ lengths behind General Consensus to third-place Restless Soul. Éclair de Lune, the 7-2 second choice, was never a factor while running fourth.
With the late scratch of Cat by the Tale, 3-1 second choice on the morning line behind the 4-5 odds ascribed to the favorite, there was no show betting. Tuscan Evening paid $2.60 and $2.10. General Consensus paid $2.80 to place.
Bejarano said trainer Jerry Hollendorfer deserves "all the credit" for the accomplishments of Tuscan Evening, who has recorded 10 victories, a second and a pair of thirds in 14 trips to the post since joining Hollendorfer's barn. Meantime, she has earned $816,555 for owner William de Burgh during the 15-month span.
"She kind of made her own way today, so I wasn't real nervous," said Hollendorfer in the winner's circle. "She's something. I give her the credit. She relaxed real nice, and when Rafael asked her, she had enough left.
"We were thrilled and we're very fortunate. Winning these four races at different distances lets us consider a lot more things, but we'll take a hard look at the Gamely (Grade I, $250,000 handicap over 1 1/8 miles on turf at Hollywood Park on May 29)."
Tuscan Evening's escalating triumphs during the Santa Anita meet have included the Grade III Monrovia Handicap at 6 ½ furlongs, the Grade II Buena Vista Handicap at one mile, and the Grade II Santa Ana Handicap at 1 1/8 miles prior to the Santa Barbara.
Her ascension becomes even more remarkable when considering the bay mare arrived in the United States as an 11-race maiden in the winter of 2008 despite having earned $82,853 while racing in five Group events including a pair of Grade I stakes in Europe. Tuscan Evening's career record has risen to 10-4-5 in 25 starts for income of $899,853.
Bejarano, who has ridden Tuscan Evening to seven wins while aboard eight times, was particularly jubilant after the Santa Barbara. "This is a very special day," said the 27-year-old rider who has made a runaway of the meet's jockeys' standings. "My mother is here from Peru, and to have this filly win four times at longer distances, it is unbelievable."
The Grade III, $100,000 San Simeon Handicap, the afternoon's companion feature, went to 4-5 favorite Mr Gruff as the downhill turf course specialist became only the second back-to-back winner in the 43rd running of the event at 6 ½ furlongs on grass.
While providing trainer Ron Ellis with his third victory of the day, the 6-year-old bay gelding tallied by 2 ¼ lengths over Victor's Cry while timed in 1:11.53 after having scored in 1:11.88 the previous year. Only stakes record holder Glick has run faster with a 1:11.46 clocking in 2004. Only Champagne Bid in 1984 had previously won back-to-back runnings of the San Simeon.
With Rosario in the saddle, Mr Gruff tracked swift starter Trumpet Player Jay in the field of eight, took command midway down the hill, opened up by 2 ½ in midstretch and was a handy winner. Victor's Cry, with Corey Nakatani aboard, gained the place, three-quarters of a length ahead of third-place Ever a Friend with Tyler Baze in the irons.
With his San Simeon repeat, Mr Gruff paid $3.60, $2.60 and $2.20. Victor's Cry, who went off a 10-1, paid $6 and $3.80. Ever a Friend, the 5-2 second choice, paid $2.60 to show.
Mr Gruff's win over Santa Anita's unique downhill turf layout was his fifth in six races over the course with only a nose setback separating him from perfection. Rosario has been aboard for the succession of downhill races after the Mr. Greeley gelding lost his first two over Santa Anita's main track.
For Rosario, it was his 11th stakes win at the meet to move one victory ahead of Bejarano in that category, but the latter has run away with the riding title with 93 wins, 21 clear of Rosario, entering the season's final day.
"Joel did a good job," Ellis said following the San Simeon. "The horse broke a little flat-footed. He didn't rush him and just kind of let him ease his way up there. It all went as planned after that."
Following his 2009 triumph in the San Simeon, Mr Gruff had gone to the sidelines for 11 months. "It was just his back," explained Ellis. According to the trainer, Mr Gruff was sent to owner Gary Broad's Oakmont farm in Temecula. "They fixed him up and sent him back 110 percent," said Ellis.
The gelding's second San Simeon win was worth $60,000 to Broad while increasing Mr Gruff's career earnings to $229,680 from an overall record of 5-2-0 in eight races.
Santa Anita's anniversary season draws to a close on Sunday with a 10-race program climaxed by the 71st running of the historic Grade II, $150,000 San Juan Capistrano Handicap, North America's longest turf race at 1 ¾ miles. First post is at 12:30 p.m.

We selected club dining so had a table that we could use at anytime. It really worked for us. The staff were brilliant. The wine waiter Jakob was fantastic. We couldn't have asked for more. Nothing was too much trouble. Jakob took us on a journey each evening with our wine choices. He knew roughly what we liked so we accepted his choice. Very very entertaining. Stunning food. Fantastic dining area. We loved it.
The entertainment onboard was equally as fantastic. There was sooo much choice. The Red Lion pub quizzes were a big hit. The bands playing in the various bars equally good. A cinema on board with a few hundred seats. A fantastic theatre. A beautiful ballroom. We loved the black tie captains evening. We loved Blake on the last night. Lots of stuff to keep people entertained whilst crossing the Oceans, (not for me I'd rather get on once it's crossed).
LeHavre was a pleasant enough port. Not much there. I wanted to visit Hornfleur but with so much to see on the ship in such a small time slot we decided not to. Brugge was beautiful. A lovely lovely city. We took a cab from the side of the QM2 and used the same people to get back.
We loved every minute of this once onboard. A little glitch getting on board as the ship wasn't ready and we kind of got stuck for a couple of hours in a holding area in Southampton. Not too much of a problem though. Thank you Cunard for creating a really special experience.

Dear Readers: Blount Today to close
Photo by LuAnne Jackson
The Alcoa bench erupts after senior Matt Franklin scores what looks like the winning goal as the horn sounds at the end of regulation in the state tournament opener with top-ranked Chattanooga Christian. Officials would reverse themselves and disallow the goal after the linesman ruled the ball had not crossed the goal line before the horn. After two 10-minute overtimes and two, five-minute, sudden-death overtimes, the Tornadoes would prevail, 1-1(6-5), in penalty-kick shootout.

LONDONDERRY — The senior center has a familiar face as its new leader.
Stacy Thrall was approved for the senior affairs director job at a Town Council meeting Feb. 11.
She replaces Kimberly Bean, who resigned last fall.
For Thrall, it's almost like being home.
She once served the senior center as its outreach coordinator, then went on to start an adult daycare facility, Here on Earth, in Londonderry.
Thrall also heads up the town's Senior Affairs Committee. She said she is committed to working with seniors at the center, their programs and activities.
A hiring committee comprised narrowed the field of applicants and decided Thrall was the best choice.
Town Councilor Joe Green said Thrall was the top pick.
"I thank her for stepping up," he said. "She couldn't be a more perfect pick for this position."
Thrall said she is excited to get started in her new role.
Gladys Frederick, along with previous senior center director Sara Landry, opened the town's senior center in 2003 with only a handful of residents attending each day.
Now, more than 50 seniors are there on any given day, enjoying meals, games, fitness and exercise, technology training and health screenings.
Membership stands at about 450.

Almost all S60 nokia's can make internet calls when using apps like fring or nimbuzz. It can be done over wi-fi or over 3G (if your network allows it).
The E series models, and most older FP1 models can directly connect to VoIP servers. Many newer FP2 and S60v5 models cannot (but can still use apps like fring).
Read more about fring and nimbuzz here (and see compatible phones):
You can also find a lot out about VoIP on nokia by searching google.

Nicotinic acid is a form of niacin that helps in lowering your cholesterol. Not only is nicotinic acid important because it targets HDL, LDL, and triglycerides, it is also available without a prescription. You might have noticed that there are different forms of nicotinic acid out there: immediate-release, sustained-release, and extended-release. There is a difference between them -- although they work in the same manner to lower your cholesterol, they mainly differ by the rate that nicotinic acid is released into your body.
Immediate-Release Nicotinic AcidImmediate-release (IR) nicotinic acid, also known as "fast-release" nicotinic acid, is a form of nicotinic acid that is released immediately into the blood. Because the whole dose is introduced into the blood at one time, this form of nicotinic acid is also most commonly associated with niacin-induced side effects, such as flushing, warmth and itching. Sometimes, a bottle of niacin may not state if it is an "immediate-release" or a "sustained-release" product. If it does not state which form of nicotinic acid is in the bottle, it may be safe to assume that it is an immediate-release form.
Sustained-Release Nicotinic AcidSustained-release (SR) nicotinic acid, also known as "timed-release" nicotinic acid, is designed to release nicotinic acid over a period of time into your body, rather than introducing the whole dose of nicotinic acid. It can be purchased over the counter. Although you might still experience niacin-induced side effects, they are not as bad as the side effects experienced with the immediate-release form of nicotinic acid.
While this type of nicotinic acid lowers the severity of side effects, individuals taking sustained-release nicotinic acid are also at an increased risk of liver toxicity. Liver toxicity is rarely seen in the immediate-release and extended-release preparations. In order to the incidence of liver toxicity, you might want to take an extended-release form of nicotinic acid.
Extended-Release Nicotinic AcidExtended-release (ER) nicotinic acid fits somewhere in between the immediate-release and sustained-release forms of nicotinic acid. Its release into the body is a little slower than the immediate-release form, yet faster than the sustained-release form of nicotinic acid. Side effects still exist, but are not as severe as the immediate-release form. Additionally, there are no problems of liver toxicity associated with this form of niacin as seen with the sustained-release form. This type of nicotinic acid is available under the trade name Niaspan, which can only be obtained by a prescription from your healthcare provider.

Brenda with Des Hennelly in Savoury Fair in Athlone
If you watch Channel 4 News regularly, you'll probably be familiar with one of its most dedicated reporters, Paraic O'Brien (left). He is a native of Ballinasloe, County Galway. But over the last few years, he's been at the forefront of some of the most significant news reports on British television, including a very brave exposé from inside the ranks of the notorious English defence league.
Paraic recently travelled to Bucharest, Romania, to report on an underworld which many people will be shocked exists in the 21st-century. Deep under the streets of Bucharest, there is a network of tunnels and sewers that is home to hundreds of men, women and children, stricken by drug abuse, HIV and TB. If you visit www.channel4.com/news/romania-tunnels-bucharest-orphans-photo, you can read more about this, and view some clips into this harrowing existence.
Paraic O'Brien joins us this afternooon from the BBC studios in London to explain more...

Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

Week 14 TE tips: Finley is on the rise
Jermichael Finley is back on the rise, while Kyle Rudolph is banged up but has a favorable matchup, according to our fantasy TE tips.

Time for Panthers' Olsen to shine
It is a familiar theme for owners that have followed him throughout his career — this really could be Greg Olsen's year.
Shockey fitting as short-term option in Carolina
TE Jeremy Shockey has embraced his role, played it well and stayed relatively healthy in his first season with the Panthers.
Shorts and Shells: Week Four
We discuss Cam Newton's distaste for big numbers in close losses; the controversial finish to Giants-Cardinals; the amazing start by wide receivers; and plenty more.
Panthers-Bears prediction
The Bears are a better team than the Panthers, but not so much better that they can overcome a multi-turnover game by Jay Cutler.
Panthers-Bears matchup of the day: Tuesday
Teams have attacked the Bears' pass defense in the seams with tight ends thus far, and have had success doing it.

Bears fantasy focus
We break down the fantasy status of Bears players with the potential to be scooped up in drafts, or monitored on the waiver wire, in this Bears fantasy focus.
Report: Bears trade TE Olsen to Panthers
A day after it was reported the Bears were actively looking to trade TE Greg Olsen, a report states that the team traded the former first-round pick to the Panthers in exchange for a draft choice.
Olsen matched a team high with five catches for 42 yards Sunday in a 31-17 loss at NFC South rival Atlanta.||||||| Olsen is second on the team with 25 catches and is building chemistry with rookie stud QB Cam Newton. Expect good things for Olsen next week against a solid Redskins defense.
The Chicago Bears have traded tight Olsen to the Carolina Panthers for an undisclosed 2012 draft pick.||||||| A first-round draft pick in 2007, Olsen has 194 catches for 1,981 yards and 20 touchdowns in his career, but it's no secret offensive coordinator Mike Martz prefers blocking tight ends. Olsen finished 2010 with his lowest totals in receptions (41) and yards (404) since he was a rookie in 2007. He still tied for the team lead with five touchdown catches, but there was widespread speculation that he would be dealt.
Olsen had five catches for 39 yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Giants.||||||| Olsen will look to get open against linebacker Jon Beason in next week's big road test at Carolina.
Olsen just missed his first career 100-yard game, finishing with 94 and a touchdown on five receptions in Sunday's 37-23 win at Detroit.||||||| Olsen set career marks for receptions (60), yards (612) and touchdowns (eight) this season.
Olsen had five catches for 71 yards and three touchdowns, the highlight of a tough day for the Bears in a 41-21 loss to Arizona.||||||| This was the breakout game of the season for the talented tight end, who now has six touchdowns and has been looked to consistently by Jay Cutler. The Bears face San Francisco on Thursday, so get him in your lineup early if you want to play Olsen this week.

The holiday has special significance this year as President Barack Obama begins a new four-year term as the nation's 44th president following November's presidential election.
The observance of holidays by campuses within the California State University (CSU) system is determined by several factors that include California's Title V Education Code, union agreements, and campus consultations. While some holidays are mandated by Title V to be observed on the traditional day specified (including Veterans Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas), CSU campuses have the discretion to observe the other holidays on alternative days. This flexibility allows the University to deliver the number of mandated days required for academic instruction and to provide other important academic functions such as an intercession term during the holiday break.
At Cal State Northridge there is a calendar committee of faculty, students and staff representatives that recommend a schedule several years in advance through a consultative process. After review by the Faculty Senate, the calendar is forwarded to the university president for approval. The academic calendar may be found at http://www.csun.edu/facultyaffairs/calendar/.

A University of Texas – Tyler student is hoping for a change in his path and is asking for the community's help.
Garrett Wiley was in a car accident in 2008 that accident left him paralyzed from the waist down. At the time, he was a high school senior, with a bright future playing football for Hardin-Simmons University in West Texas ahead of him. He survived, but life has been much different ever since.
"I was All-State in football," he remembers. His friend, Trevor Stennett, who plays baseball for Texas College, remembers how he excelled at the sport, too.
"He was an excellent football player. We get outside and toss the rock sometimes," Stennett said.
Wiley is still playing football, though his form has changed a bit.
Wiley and Stennett bonded over their love of sports and the outdoors. Wiley's favorites are hunting and fishing, but his standard wheelchair has made him reliant on his friends."I'd have to have my buddy pop me in a wheelie and try our best to get through the dirt and the mud and all that," Wiley said.
"With these wheels there's no traction," he adds as he pointed to the mangled tires on his wheelchair.
A new kind of wheelchair would make it possible for the 23-year-old to go off-roading.
"Be outdoors and have fun, and do all the things that I like about the outdoors, without relying on somebody to help me navigate through the outdoors," he said.
It's the money that's standing in his way.
Wiley's mother and grandmother died of cancer within a few years of his accident, leaving him and his brother to tackle medical costs on their own.
"My mom and my grandma were basically the ones that took care of everything," he said.
"He's a hard working, motivated individual and he definitely motivates me, because I play baseball, he motivates me to go out there and take advantage of every single day that I have on the field," Stennett said.
"[I] try and keep my mindset on a goal and then focus on getting that goal because, I mean, [my mother and grandmother] raised me to be a strong person," he said.
And right now that goal is a new wheelchair.
"Things are going to occur, to I guess, speed bumps in life, and it's how you handle those speed bumps," he said.
So, no matter what the terrain ahead may be, he can ride those speed bumps just a little smoother.

(WMC-TV) - A game-changing solution to blight is creating a new push for organizations to buy abandoned homes in Memphis.
Jim Strickland unveiled his plans, which were six months in the making, during an executive session Tuesday at a city council meeting. The plan could be one more step toward reducing blight in Memphis.
Tara Turner lives next door to 3238 University Street, which is a property that has been abandoned for years.
"It's scary because there be people sitting up in there, laying up in there, and it's dangerous for young women like me," said Turner.
She says the home draws unwanted critters and crime.
"It don't even look good on the street," said Turner.
She is not alone.
"There's so much blight in our community, thousands and thousands of properties," said Stickland.
He says many properties have more property tax debt than what they are worth.
"No one's gonna buy that piece of property," he said.
And the abandoned properties usually about for four to five years before anyone takes over. Strickland's plan could improve the problem now that a new Tennessee law opened up grant money for potential redevelopers.
"If you can get the owner to donate it to a community redevelopment organization, we will give them a grant," he said.
Meaning the buyer will basically break even if they follow several conditions including rehabbing the house, occupying it within a year of the sale, and keeping it occupied for five years.
"We have to stop accepting the way things are start doings differently," he said.
Strickland says the council will discuss his plan in committee in two weeks, then they will vote. If the proposal passes it will go to county commission, but the state attorney has the final say.
If it passes they will limit the program to 100 homes for the first year.

If you're wanting to spend your next vacation at the hottest tourist attractions in the country, you won't have to travel far.The No. 1 and No. 3 iconic tourist attractions in the country are in Memphis according to a recent USA Today reader's choice poll.MORE: Poll: 2 most iconic tourist attractions in MemphisMORE: Vote Beale Street as best iconic street in America"Friday the 13th may be an unlucky day for some cities, but for Memphis it's a lucky, lucky day," said Kevin Kane, President ad CEO of the Memphis Convention and Visitors' Bureau.Graceland was recently voted by readers of USA Today and Top10.com as the No. 1 iconic tourist attraction in the nation and the National Civil Rights Museum the No. 3 best iconic attraction in the country.Mt. Rushmore finished second.Not bad."They picked 25 attractions in the country and we were so honored we were only one of three cities along with New York City and San Francisco that had multiple attractions on the list," Kane said. "Well they narrowed that down and the readers started to vote, and the results are in.""This is indeed an honor," said Mayor A C Wharton. "I'm with mayors from around the country all the time and when you look at the size of the cities 8 million something, 5 million folks, 4 million; and here we are a 670,000 something town. I'm telling you we are the top vote of all of them."
"How awesome is it that Memphis, Tenn., has two of the top three iconic attractions in the country?," said Beverly Roberson of the NCRM. "I think that is special."
For some the fact that Elvis Presley's Graceland and the National Civil Rights Museum were No. 1 and 3 in the Top10.com / USA Today readers poll may seem unrelated, but Kevin Kearn of Graceland says the connection is there."In 1968 one of Elvis' primary and most iconic message recordings was a song 'If I Could Dream,' and was actually written in response to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in Memphis," Kearn said. "Elvis dreamed when one day his brothers could walk hand in hand together. We are truly honored to share this award, so thank you so much for the honor."

I challenge you to finish reading this column, and then turn to your computer, go to Google's search engine, click on the tab at the top that says, "News" and do a search using the terms "ambulance accident" or "ambulance crash." You will find the latest news stories involving ambulance accidents.
My search gave me headlines such as "3 in hospital following Waterford ambulance crash," "Accident sends 1 to hospital," "EMT charged in deadly ambulance wreck that killed co-worker," "Ambulance rolls with patient inside" and "Woman believes mother died as a result of ambulance crash." There were more headlines, but you get the point. The sad part of my Google search was that all those news stories I listed, and more, were posted on newspaper or TV websites within the last day of my search. They did not go back months or even years.
What are we doing as a profession to protect those who work in ambulances and those who are transported in ambulances? Up to just a few years ago, we did nothing. We sat on our hands. Until now.
What the standard means
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1917, Standard for Automotive Ambulances, 2013 edition, was released in late September. According to the NFPA 1917 Document Scope, the new standard "defines the requirements for new automotive ambulances designed to be used under emergency conditions to provide medical treatment and transportation of sick or injured people to appropriate medical facilities," but "does not cover vehicles used solely to transport emergency medical care personnel that do not have patient transport capability, aircraft or watercraft used for patient transport under emergency conditions or mobile patient care vehicles that do not provide patient transport under emergency conditions."
What does this development mean for the fire service and for fire-based EMS? This column describes the process that led to the release of this important standard.
Do a little research and you will find safety standards for almost all transportation, including automobiles, trucking, airline and maritime. But none exists for EMS transport. Except for military vehicles, nearly all ambulances in the United States are built using the General Services Administration (GSA) federal purchasing specification called Federal Standard KKK-A-1822F. Many states have adopted this purchasing specification for how ambulances should be built and designed in order to be licensed to operate. Unfortunately, the Federal Standard KKK-A-1822F is nothing but a purchasing specification. Nothing in the specification deals with ambulance safety or design and the standard is soon set to expire.
A few years ago, the EMS Section and the Safety, Health & Survival Section of the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) sat down together at Fire-Rescue International in Denver, CO, to talk about ambulance safety, design and the number of people being hurt and killed in ambulance crashes. Even though both sections of the IAFC are fire-oriented, the discussion did not center on just protecting those who work on ambulances from fire departments, but focused on protecting all who ride in ambulances. It did not matter what patches they wore on their shoulders. They could come from third-service ambulances, private ambulance companies or hospital-based ambulances. It did not matter.
As a result of this meeting, the decision was made to petition the NFPA), which has an excellent process for developing consensus standards for many issues that impact emergency services, to form a technical committee for ambulance design.
The NFPA accepted the petition and formed a technical committee called NFPA 1917, inviting many from across the profession to become involved. This included those from fire organizations, national EMS organizations and manufacturers of ambulances. Interestingly, only seven of the 41 principals and alternates who served on the technical committee came from the fire service. So the vast majority of people on the technical committee were not from the fire service, as some would think.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is suing the state of Alabama to block the Alabama Accountability Act (AAA), an education reform law approved by the Alabama Legislature during the 2013 Regular Session.
"The Accountability Act is a pipe dream," said Richard Cohen, President of the SPLC. The SPLC is filing the lawsuit on behalf of 11 students currently enrolled in failing schools in Wilcox, Russell, Barbour, and Marengo Counties.
"We have received notice of the lawsuit from the Southern Poverty Law Center and our legal staff is reviewing its content for implications for K-12 public education," said Dr. Tommy Bice, State Superintendent of Education. "In the meantime, we will continue to follow existing law until informed by a court to do otherwise."
The Alabama Accountability Act allows students enrolled in failing schools to transfer to non-failing public schools, or to private schools. In the event of a transfer to a private school, the parents may qualify for a tax credit worth up to $3,500 to offset the cost of tuition. Under the law, private schools must participate in the AAA's scholarship program in order for parents to qualify for the tax credits.
The law also allows for school systems to apply for waivers from some state laws and regulations relating to education. The AAA also gives schools the choice to reject all transfers. In other words, no non-failing school is required by law to accept students attempting to leave failing schools.
"We've challenged the Act because its promise that all students will be able to escape failing schools is an empty one" Cohen said.
"The Alabama Accountability Act is working to provide school choice and education options for students across the state, regardless of where they live or what their family's income might be," countered Alabama Speaker of the House Mike Hubbard [R-Auburn]. "The Southern Poverty Law Center is attempting to slam the door on these options for the very students the Accountability Act is intended to help. Misguided, left-wing lawsuits like this provide proof that the Southern Poverty Law Center is nothing more than the ACLU with a southern accent."
One of the plaintiffs, Mariah Russaw, lives in Barbour County and her grandson attends Barbour Junior High School, which is considered failing under the Accountability Act.
"I want my son to be able to get an education," Russaw said. "I would like for (my grandson) to get the best education he can, and he can't get that."
The lawsuit alleges that the AAA created two classes of citizens of Alabama, those that can take advantage of the benefits of the law and those who are shut out. The SPLC argues that in the Black Belt of Alabama, specifically, will be hurt the most by the law because resources will be taken out of the schools, and children will still be trapped in failing schools because better schools either won't accept transfers or the schools are too far away.
"The Black Belt has a disproportionate number of failing schools," Cohen said.
"Challenging Alabama's historic school choice law on the grounds that it limits options makes no sense. This is more of the same from those who would rather maintain the status quo," said President Pro Tem of the Alabama Senate Del Marsh [R- Anniston]. "We will continue working to make sure students and parents in failing schools have options to receive a quality education."
When Republicans passed the AAA, they argued that it provided students and families with choices they never had before when it came to education. Governor Robert Bentley initially refused to sign approved changes to the Accountability Act that modified provisions relating to the private school tax credits and student eligibility for transfers.
The SPLC and the plaintiffs argue that because of the exceptional poverty and geographic locations, many children who live in the Black Belt will never be able to take advantage of the law.
"Our clients are assigned to these failing schools and cannot escape them. They don't have the means, the financial resources to go private schools or to transfer to the few other public schools in distant counties that may take them" Cohen said.
The lawsuit was filed in the United States District for the Middle District of Alabama.
