I think Nigel Lythgoe fibbed to us a little.
Apparently reacting to the disdain fans showed over American Idol's Los Angeles audition episode, he tweeted Thursday night: "I agree LA auditions were in general awful. A lot made me laugh. It just shows you never can tell where talent will come from."
Ah, but 29 contestants were apparently impressive enough to earn golden tickets at those L.A. auditions.
And it turns out L.A. had more to offer than a belly-dancer, a fuzzy-haired MySpace auditioner and a pair of singing brothers.
I've only researched about a dozen of those golden tickets winners so far. But here's a look at three we should have met during that brutal episode.
First up, Philadelphia's own Erika Schiff, who studied fine art and illustration at the University of the Arts and has quite a varied singing background.
For instance, she has performed with MRO, identified on YouTube as "one of the Philly area's most sought-after wedding and party bands." She recently performed at the Miss'd America pageant in Atlantic City, best described here as a Miss America spoof that raises money for charity.
And she's the female member of a pop/soul group that used to be called the Erika-James Band, but is now known as In the Blonde. You can hear two of the band's original songs here.
She says she auditioned for Idol because "this has been a lifelong dream of mine."
"People told me I have natural ability," she says later in her Idol video. "I'm still convincing myself I'm good."
She is, but you can judge for yourself in the video of Erika singing an original below.
Next up, a guy we met last year in Idol's Los Angeles auditions — Jim Ranger. He auditioned via MySpace this year, and he's heading back to Hollywood again.
In season nine, he had the audacity to audition with an original song, "Drive," which hasn't always gone very well with judges in the past. He pulled it off.
Which might not be surprising, since he used to sing for a group called Soulajar, which released "Drive" as part of a five-track EP in 2006. Or since he released an 11-track CD under his own name a year later.
The Bakersfield, Calif., resident is a worship pastor with a wife and three chilren who grew up around two parents who sang. On MySpace, where you'll find a lot of his original music, he lists his genre as pop/rock/soul.
"I'm ready to do this," he tells Idol. "I've been doing this, just on a lot smaller scale."
Below, you can hear Jim singing "I'll Have You."
Finally, there's a personable 18-year-old named Destinee Quinn, who lists her music as acoustic/country on MySpace.
She hails from Surprise, Arizona, and her inclusion on the Los Angeles audition episode probably would have been a pleasant surprise.
On Facebook, she tells us she's been writing songs since 14. One, "Liar, Liar," reminds me of something you might hear from Taylor Swift. You can listen to it below.
But it's Shania Twain whom Destinee lists as her all-time favorite performer, partly for the way she pushed the limits of country music, bringing more of a pop edge to it.
Entertaining seems to come naturally to Destinee. "I was the little girl who would sing loudly in the public restroom," she tells Idol.
And country leanings aside, she shows her versatility on another YouTube clip, a spoof of "New York State of Mind" dubbed "Facebook State of Mind." Yep, quite the entertainer.
So there you have it. Three reasons that L.A. episode didn't have to be nearly so talent-less. And I've only heard from half the golden ticket recipients so far.

Check out Erika's original music IN THE BLONDE, it's awesome!!!
ALSO listen to ERIKA SCHIFF on Reverbnation:
I can't believe they didn't show more of this girl!!! She is sooooo good, as a singer AND songwriter. I saw her perform at the Miss'd America show you mentioned and she was unbelievable!!! She got write-ups calling her "Broadway and MTV quality." Maybe Idol wants more amateur??? It's craaaazy some of the choices that got through. They should have at least showed Erika sing! I heard at Hollywood week she was so pro, never forgot a lyric and did choreography for her group 4:40 who ALL made it through!!!
When they say you can't forget lyrics it total bull! Anyway, this girl's gonna go places regardless of American Idol, Ill be following her all the way. I wish there was a wild card and they picked her. HUGE fan.
BTW, that drummer Erika has in that UTube video with the original song…he's Stevie Nicks' drummer!!! Jimmy Paxson…obviously she's no joke!!!
The other guy, Jimmy James used to be in an awesome band called The Union Dead.
Mark…Erika Schiff is the REAL DEAL!! LOVE her voice AND her originals…I think Idol made a BIG mistake not showing her singing on solo night AND group night!
Im dying to see more of erika schiff! She's absolutely gorgeous with an unbelievable voice!
Having seen Erika Schiff and In The Blond live, I think the AI judges made the right call… it's one thing to be a big fish in a small pool, as in Philly… yes, she's good in THAT context… a whole nother thing to be a superstar in the national context… whe just doesn't have that 'it' factor…

Starved to death in an NHS hospital
Martin Ryan, 43, had suffered a stroke which left him unable to swallow.
But a 'total breakdown in communication' meant he was never fitted with a feeding tube.
Emma Kemp, 26, was denied cancer treatment that could have saved her life, while 30-year-old Mark Cannon died two months after being admitted to hospital with a broken leg.
Three other cases followed similar patterns, with warnings ignored or problems missed until it was too late, often because the patients had difficulty communicating.
Ann Abraham, the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman, is expected to deliver a withering verdict in her report.
Socialized medicine anyone? Read the article. This is what you can expect if we are taken to a National Health Care System.

Lets not crow too loudly about our great American health care system:
Nataline Sarkisyan was a 17-year-old from Northridge, CA diagnosed with leukemia. She died Thursday, December 20, 2007 hours after a nationwide protest caused her insurance company (CIGNA) to reverse its previous denial of coverage for a liver transplant.
CIGNA originally declined to pay for the liver transplant because the plan did not cover "experimental, investigational and unproven services."
Mark Geragos, attorney for Nataline's family, has stated that Cigna "maliciously killed her" and that her family is planning to press murder and/or manslaughter charges against Cigna HealthCare for their daughter's death.
Twelve-year-old Deamonte Driver died of a toothache Sunday.
A routine, $80 tooth extraction might have saved him.
If his mother had been insured.
If his family had not lost its Medicaid.
If Medicaid dentists weren't so hard to find
(By Linda Davidson -- The Washington Post)
I really like this one:
Anyone can get health care in the United States. Just ask George W. Bush. Last year in Cleveland, he had this to say to the 47 million Americans without health care coverage:
"I mean, people have access to health care in America. After all, you just go to an emergency room."
- January 9, 2009 at 4:43 PM
LOL! You're proud of this Countries health care system?!
We are ranked 37th in overall performance and 72nd by overall level of health.41st in the world for lowest infant mortality rate, and 46th for highest total life expectancy.
We are 1st for the most expensive Health care system in the world, and we are the only Industrialized Nation on the planet without a universal health care program.
D.D. The system you so proudly proclaim as so good is a suck ass pathetic embarrassment to us all. It works great, as long as we're healthy, not so well when we finally get sick. I can't wait to splurge all my retirement savings on health care.
You find one kid that dies in Europe, and compare it to what we have?
We're #1! At sucking! Go U.S.A.

Moving our health care system to a STATE SPONSORED system will NOT fix the problems.
Socialized medicine is not the fix. Insurance reform is the first direction we should move. Tort reform would be the next. From that would be a change in the cost of medicine that is unrealistically high due to INSURANCE and a reduction of the cost of services from medical professionals.
Where IN ANY POST did I say what we have is the "best in the world" or even in the top 10? What I've said from the beginning of DDDN is that socialized medicine is bad.
Do not misconstrue my disdain for SOCIALIZED MEDICINE with any perceived cheerleading for our current system.
I have it on good authority from my German friends that they have a great system. It is socialized but you never hear the horror stories that come out of Canada or Great Britain about poor care. Do things like that happen, probably, but they liked that part of living in Germany.
Could America have a German cloned medical system? I'm not sure Americans are willing to pay the level of taxes to have that. Remember that the expense is not upfront when you have socialized medicine. You will see it in the reduction of your take home salary.
And you get to pay for all the stupid people who smoke themselves into hundreds of thousands of dollars of cancer treatment. You get to pay for liver transplants for alcoholics that destroyed the one they started with. I'm not terribly excited about that.
But social responsibility is a discussion for another post.
- January 13, 2009 at 12:39 PM
What's really strange is that we pay more for our health care system than any Country on the planet, tax wise, and personally.
I don't see how we are saving more money in taxation when we pay more for it. Do you?
Universal health care = a healthier society, which makes for a cheaper system to manage. Do you think we as taxpayers don't pay anything? You need to look at some facts about just how much we already pay.
- January 13, 2009 at 1:11 PM
- OkieRover said...
I know we already pay for healthcare and I know we pay for a form of socialized care in each of our states.
I can tell you though in my situation my employer pays my care and my children's care as part of my compensation.
If we were able to drop everything tomorrow and start a universal system. My employer would pass those expenses on to me in the form of PAYROLL TAXES. I would get a cut in pay immediately plus have the added expense.
Now if my employer was fair about it, I would perhaps get to keep the compensation but I wouldn't hold my breath for that.
When I commented that American's wouldn't like the taxes for healthcare I was speaking to the general opinion of most Americans that "taxes are bad" and more taxes are worse.
I pay about 25% (maybe less) in taxes now on my payroll. Of course that's an estimate. But isn't anything close to the 50% workers in England and Germany pay for taxes on their payroll. American's will not accept that no matter how good it is for all Americans.
I didn't say I wouldn't like paying for universal care. And I don't care if it is more or less than now as long as IT DOESN'T CHANGE. I like going to my doctor and getting care the next day. I like picking the hospital of my choice. I like going to a specialist of my choosing.
I do not want to wait for a month to have an operation I can have today scheduled at my leisure. In my current situation I can hire the most competent doctor and expect good to excellent care. I would not like to be in the situation of getting the run around, or substandard care or taking what I get with the doctors.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I wanted to send 'save the date' postcards and I was thrilled with all the options weddingpaperdivas.com had to offer. We chose the "Tea for Two" postcard because it offered several different color choices for the roses around the photo, one of which was yellow (my fiancee and I had a lovely picture of the two of us surround by yellow roses.) There were so many font options to chose from so we were able to design one that was just our style. Our friends and family absolutely loved it!"
"These came in just as I expected & they even added an extra line for me so that I could add in our wedding website address. I had ordered the sample of the invitation size & was expecting something of a similar size, however, these are more the size of a post card (which will probably save us in postage)."
"I loved my save the dates! Very easy to design the way you would like it. And once you send it in, they have someone look over it and if there's a way it could look better, they give you an option to see it that way before you pick your final design. The paper quality is great and the final product looks elegant. I will be referring this site to all my friends and will order the rest of my wedding stuff from them!"
"I used Wedding Paper Divas for the first time and I would absolutely recommend them to friends and family. I ordered Save the Dates for my wedding. The save the dates were gorgeous, the paper material was beautiful and everything looked fantastic. I had several questions and the live chat assistants were more than helpful. I am definitely ordering my wedding invitations through Wedding Paper Divas!"
"These magnets came out beautiful! Everyone is calling us to say how nice they are. They are a nice size, and look great! We used the light blue on the bottom with photo of us at the beach on top."

My Review:
I am in a bit of a qundary regarding iNetBet casino. I've known it for years and used to play here a lot until I git a bit bored of the RTG slot games. I still dabble but only infrequently because casinos like 32Red casino (Microgaming) and Bet365 casino (Playtech) have much better software in my opinion.
The other issue going forward is that iNetBet is unlikely to have a UK licence. While this doesn't make it a bad casino - far from it in fact - it does mean that players wouldn't have recourse if they hit a problem. That said, I've played there a lot in years gone by and never had a problem and the casino has a very good reputation among players, even if the software isn't eveyone's cup of tea.
The RTG software that powers iNetBet looks dated alongside that from Microgaming or Playtech in my opinion but it does have good choice and the games are still entertaining. I have a problem with how RTG choose & police their licencees though, a policy which has severely damaged their reputation but iNetBet are one of very few RTG-powered casinos that do the job properly. In fact I'd go further than this, and say that they are better operators than the majority of online casinos, irrespective of software.
iNetBet Casino GamesAs regards the casino games on offer at iNetBet, of which there are over 200 as I write, the key ones in my opinion are the "Real Series" slots, a set of 20 line slots with a host of bonus features and free spins awards. They can be quite streaky, but they can pay pretty big at times and each has a "Random Jackpot" which as a guide ranges between �1,000 and �10,000, sometimes more, which can be won at any bet size. I have won 3 of these to date, two at iNetBet, on �5, �10 and a �20 spins (that one was on a flush winning day - I'm not normally that reckless!).
The range of video poker at iNetBet is also very wide with all sorts of bonus and wild-card versions playable in 1,3,10, 50 and 100 hand formats. The payouts vary from casino to casino, but in RTG's case most are in the 95% - 97% range with a few set a little higher - I can only guess but I susepct iNetBet have theirs set around the 95% range on slots. The last time I asked, the iNetBet version of multihand "Joker Poker" video poker was set to over 100% expected return! Obviously you need to know the correct video poker strategy.
There are a number of the more traditional games available at iNetBet as you would expect. I'm not a big "table games" fan myself, but Blackjack, Roulette, Craps...they are all here and some in several formats so I'll leave those games to other reviewers. iNetBet even has a mobile phone casino you can download and play, although the graphics and gameplay on the phone aren't great (understatement!) so it's probably only for the hardcore gamblers to be honest.
iNetBet casino does also have a mobile offering from RTG now but they are playing catch-up a bit and as of mid-2014, there are plenty of better mobile casinos that I'd recommend over this one.
Support & ServiceThe iNetBet owners are UK based, although iNetBet casino itself is run offshore, and it has developed a pretty good reputation in the market. One thing that sets iNetbet casino aside from many of the other online casino reviews on this website is the speed of their cashouts. iNetbet try to make a point of processing player cashouts every 12 hours or so which is even better than some prominent brands like Ladbrokes casino and Betvictor who process next day.
iNetBet support is generally pretty quick and every month I find a "manager's bonus" in my account around midway through the month. This is discretionary, and varies month to month, but is normally worth having and is related to how much you deposited in the previous month at the casino. Inetbet have also dished out Birthday bonuses and Xmas bonuses in my time there, and while these obviously come with wagering requirements, it's nice to get some free dosh once in a while.

OCEAN SPRINGS, Mississippi - The attorney for a promoter who wanted to bring a Lil Boosie concert to Pascagoula Friday night is considering a breach of contract lawsuit against Jackson County.
"We're giving it some thought," said Ocean Springs attorney Earl Denham. "We really think that they didn't act in good faith. That final decision hasn't been made. We will consider where we might go from here."
Asked if he thought the county's actions to end negotiations for the concert were racially or culturally motivated, Denham said, "I'm not sure I would have encountered the same problem had I come in at the last minute with a Willie Nelson concert."
Jackson County Administrator Brian Fulton said the decision had nothing to do with race.
"That's not the case at all," he said, noting the county's position on the matter had been stated in two earlier press releases.
Both sides claim the other erred in the original contract signed on March 14 to rent the Jackson County Fairgrounds pavilion on April 18 from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m. "for the purpose of a car show." A $150 deposit was paid with the balance of $350 due on or before the rented date.
In online promotions for the Mississippi Gulf Coast Spring Break, the Lil Boosie concert was being advertised and tickets were being sold. Lil Boosie, the stage name for Torrence Hatch, was released from Louisiana state prison last month after serving a portion of an eight-year sentence on drug charges. This would have been one of his first
Denham said he did not know how many tickets were sold, but assured refunds would be provided, though he didn't say when or how.
"They're gonna get their money back," Denham said. "(The promoter) will be the one that takes a bath. He paid for a lot of services he can't use. He put out $24,000 in the very beginning and a lot of other expenses like deposits. It's quite a lot of money."
The county maintains the concert was part in the original contract while Denham maintains it was explained that bands would be playing at the car show and the county provided the wrong contract. The contract for the car show was cancelled by the county on March 25.
"They issued a license to allow the show to go on without asking who the people were who were going to play in the show," Denham said. "The contract is filled out entirely in the handwriting of the county employee who selected the contract and filled it out. Under Mississippi law, if you fill out a contract and it's vague, then you're responsible for it if you filled it out."
The county broke off contract renegotiations on April 3 when Fulton said the promoter could not guarantee Lil Boosie could appear due to possible travel restrictions as part of his probation and parole. He can travel, but must get permission from his probation officer. He has recently performed three out-of-state concerts.
Denham said someone "from the county attorney's office" called Louisiana officials about the concert, though he wouldn't identify the employee.
"They (the Louisiana officials) believed the contract was cancelled while we were still negotiating in good faith to make it work," Denham said. "They said is there's no venue, we're not going to let him travel. Then the county came back and announced he can't travel because they won't let him so we're breaking off the contract. I thought it was very unwise, the duplicity.
"There's not going to be a Lil Boosie concert and that's a tragedy. We've shown ourselves inhospitable to a national act. We've show ourselves to be hostile to the idea that he should come here. There was plenty of time to get it right."
Denham said Lil Boosie has performed in Jackson County previously, at a club in Moss Point in September 2008.
"There were no reported incidents, no problems of any kind," Denham said.

text: Actually, rockfencer's comments are dead on. He (she?) is absolutely right. Base jumping at Whitesides is illegal, as it is on all Federal lands. All base jumpers who do it are breaking the law. That said, there is a helluva lot of base jumping that occurs and most dont get caught. If you climb it, then jump, then you will be labeled as a "climber" and it could severely impact the climber/ranger relations at Whitesides. If you just walk up and jump off and get caught, then you can, and should, just call yourself a BASE jumper so as not to f*** things up too badly. Therefore, my advice would be to stay off the forums.

South Florida - Want To Pledge Your Allegiance To THE DICTATOR On Thursday Night?
The Kidd here...
i've been a Sacha Baron Cohen fan going back to his Ali G days. He's one of the reasons I find TALLADEGA NIGHTS tolerable, and BORAT is easily one of those times I've never laughed so hard (cue up the naked wrestling fight). BRÜNO had its fair share of moments, but it definitely felt like Cohen was focusing on pushing the envelope further and further rather than really paying attention to making a funny film. After supporting roles in SWEENEY TODD and HUGO, Cohen is back enter stage for THE DICTATOR, which shies away from the mockumentary style he's done quite well and puts him into far more scripted fare with the likes of John C. Reilly, Anna Faris, Ben Kingsley and Megan Fox. This time Cohen plays Admiral General Aladeen, dictator of the Republic of Wadiya, and... well, you can find out the rest yourself.
What you can find out from me, however, is how to come out Thursday night, May 10, to pledge your allegiance to Aladeen and the Republic of Wadiya for an advance screening of THE DICTATOR at the AMC Sunset Place 24 in South Miami.
I've got a block of tickets for the movie, and, if you want to get your hands on a pair for yourself and a guest, you're going to have to start thinking like a dictator. It's easy in a democracy to start coming up with a basic bill of rights that your citizens should be entitled to by the mere fact that they're born. However, when it comes to a dictatorship, you've got to start taking things away from people to show them who's in charge.
Therefore, I want your anti-Bill of Rights as a dictator of your own fictional country. Give me the five rights people don't have under your rule, or at the very least the five things you're guaranteeing to take away from people that they might be able to have somewhere else with more freedom.
I'll pick the best lists as they roll in and start giving out tickets until I'm all out, so be swift and good at the same time. Once they're all gone, they're all gone.
Send in your name and list to email@example.com with the following subject line exactly (in all CAPS):
Winners will be posted as soon as I'm all out.
If you're not sure if you're going to be able to make it, it's quite simple - don't enter. If you don't think you can get out of work early enough, or if you have class, homework, chores, scheduled surgery, an unreliable car, prior engagements or previous commitments that may prevent you from attending this screening, don't try to win only to let these seats go to waste. Oh, and, if you enter to win and then no-show, don't expect to win anything anytime soon in the future, which would be a shame considering what awaits you this summer and beyond.
Thanks to Paramount Pictures for setting this up. Good luck.

I had to endure the trailer whist sat next to some Asian lads...
by workshed
...waiting for the Avengers to start (in Sheffield, UK). I have to say, I was thoroughly embarrassed; the film looks like it delivers on all those typical anti-muslim stereotypes. No one in the packed theatre (who laughed their asses off at The Avengers) had one slight titter to give this obviously piece of shit movie being given hype upon hype. The jokes were so flat I mistook them for roadkill. These feelings were compounded when I saw that it was written, shot, edited and produced by a bagful of Jewish guys (but mainly the same one who has managed to do the impossible - make Larry David unfunny - stand up Alec Berg). Oh dear... and I'm a long time fan of SBC. At least they didn't affront me further by calling this 'The Great Dictator'! Here's a suggestion, why not just shorten the title to 'The Dic'..?

I've seen the trailer twice at the cinema
by papabendi
and I haven't heard a single laugh. In fact before the Avengers the audience seemed a little perplexed by it. It seemed a bit like old fashioned racism dressed up as a fish-out-of-water comedy. If this is what they are using to sell the film, then I really don't hold out much hope for the end product.
May 7, 2012, 10:45 a.m. CST

Ohio Kmart Turns Into Jerry Springer Show Over Coupon Argument
We've all been there — You're in a rush at the store and the person in front of you is trying to redeem too many coupons, or there's a problem with a coupon, etc. You get irritated, might even grumble something under your breath.

Kylmakorpi comes good as Eagles win a thriller
Updated 10:16pm Saturday 12th April 2014 in Sport By Brian Owen
Joonas Kylmakorpi bounced back to form in the nick of time as Eastbourne preserved their perfect home record.
The Finnish star volunteered for heat 15 duties and helped skipper Cameron Woodward complete a thrilling 50-43 win over Belle Vue.
They scored a 5-1 over Aces' powerful top two Scott Nicholls and Matej Zagar to secure maximum points for the hard-pushed Eagles.
Kylmakorpi has had a tough start to the season on new bikes but he reverted to tried and trusted machinery to great effect.
The hosts led 27-15 but Nicholls' double-points win sparked a Belle Vue recovery.
They hit the front at 35-34 with Nicholls unbeaten in his first four races.
Timo Lahti and Lewis Blackbird enjoyed a 5-1 in heat 12 to edge Eagles back in front.
Richie Worrall's win in heat 14 kept Aces within three points and kept alive their hopes of nicking the win with a 5-1 in the nominated race.
But Kylmakorpi raced away and Woodward held off Nicholls for second place amid jubilant scenes at Arlington.
Blackbird had another good night for Eagles, despite being beaten by Stefan Nielsen in the second reserves' race, but Bjarne Pedersen struggled.
Eagles: Blackbird 11+2 (5), Kylmakorpi 10 (5), Lahti 8 (4), Michelsen 7+3 (4 ), Woodward 7+2 (5), Pedersen 4+1 (4), Halsey 3+1 (3).
Belle Vue: Nicholls 17+`1^ (6), Zagar 11+1 (6), Worrall 8+1 (5), Nielsen 3 (4), Reade 2 (4), Toft 2 (5), Cook r/r.

Fargo hospitals add emergency rooms to meet demand
Fargo's largest hospital has opened seven new emergency rooms and another local hospital plans to expand its emergency services in this city of about 100,000 people. Sanford Health officials said a $1.7 million expansion and renovation project has doubled the capacity of the hospital's emergency center. The addition has resulted in a more efficient suite of 27 emergency rooms to better handle almost 60,000 patient visits a year, officials said. Sanford's emergency center is one of the busiest in the tri-state region and sees almost twice as many patients as Sanford's hospital in Sioux Falls, S.D. Sanford will open a new hospital in Fargo in 2016. When the new facility opens in four years, plans call for 51 emergency rooms. Sanford hopes to obtain designation for the highest level of trauma care.

Two inquiries launched amid Westminster abuse claims
The two inquiries, announced by Home Secretary Theresa May, will investigate alleged child abuse by MPs and wider public institutions.
The two inquiries, announced by Home Secretary Theresa May, will investigate alleged child abuse by MPs and wider public institutions.
The leaking, from her department, of a letter to Michael Gove, raises serious questions for the Home Secretary to answer.
One school was praised by Ofsted for using money from the pupil premium to pay for a number of cultural trips to Saudi Arabia.
Education Secretary Michael Gove has apologised to Home Office counter-terror chief Charles Farr and to David Cameron over his row with Home Secretary Theresa May, whose special adviser Fiona Cunningham has resigned, Downing Street said.
By Libby Weiner: Political Correspondent
Falling out with the Home Secretary was not exactly what you would call a good start to this new parliamentary session for Michael Gove
And next week there may be some very awkward questions for the Education Secretary when those reports are published into alleged Islamification in some Birmingham schools.
Nevertheless, he does have a lot of support from the Prime Minister, who is seen as a very close ally of Mr Gove, and I do not think there is any suggestion at the moment that his job is on the line.
The Department for Education has defended school inspections criteria against criticism from the opposition after students were allegedly exposed to extremism in Birmingham.
A spokeswoman for the department said: "All schools, including academies and free schools, are required to offer a broad and balanced curriculum.
"Ofsted's inspectors already consider how this is delivered and pupils' social, cultural, and moral development when deciding a school's rating."
Education secretary Michael Gove was asked if he had considered his position today, in the wake of a report into an educational trusts failure to protect pupils from risks of extremism.
The minister replied to ITV News Political correspondent Libby Wiener by saying "No."
The Policy Exchange event, in which Gove spoke of his plans to end illiteracy within a generation, was quickly wrapped up after the question regarding his position was asked.

Labour's shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt said the current inspection criteria was "not fit for purpose" and should be extended to ensure problems like the concerns around protecting children from extremism do not emerge again. Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme, he said:
I don't think the inspection criteria is fit for purpose, in the kind of schooling we want. We want a much broader criteria to ensure that we don't have these problems arise.
He also called for a local oversight of schools, with directors on the ground in charge of driving school standards in a bid to avoid the problems affecting schools in Birmingham.
You can't run all these schools from behind a desk in Whitehall so we need local systems of oversight and accountability.
We need a local director of school standards so we don't end up like the kind of situation we're seeing in Birmingham which is of national significance.

Labour has called for a new inspection requirement for state schools to deliver a "broad and balanced" curriculum, in the wake of claims that Islamist extremists attempted to influence teaching in a set of schools in Birmingham.
Shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt accused Michael Gove of allowing education to be "skewed", school staff subjected to gender discrimination and children exposed to extremist views in Birmingham, and called on him to come to the Commons on Monday to explain his actions to MPs.

The school at the centre of the row over alleged Muslim extremism in Birmingham has been criticised in an official report.
ITV News understands that an Ofsted investigation of Park View School found children were not protected from extremist views and that leadership was weak.
Prime Minister David Cameron has defended the government's handling of the affair, adding that he would be stepping in to "sort out" a dispute between the Home Secretary Theresa May and Education Secretary Michael Gove.
ITV News correspondent Rupert Evelyn reports:
Read: Ofsted criticises Birmingham Council in downgraded school reports
ITV News understands that two Birmingham schools run by the same educational trust have been criticised by Ofsted for apparently failing to protect pupils from the risks of extremism.
Golden Hillock School and Park View Academy have both now been rated "inadequate" and placed into special measures.
The two schools are both run by Park View Educational Trust, which also manages a primary school.
A copy of the Ofsted report into Golden Hillock says "too little is done to keep students safe from the risks associated with extremist views".
ITV News understands that the report into Park View Academy (PVA) contains similar criticisms and that its acting principal, Monzoor Hussain, has now stepped down as acting headteacher.
It is also claimed staff at PVA have expressed concerns about both the governors and the leadership team and that they do not have faith in them.
Asked for a response to the claims, Park View Academy refused to comment.

One of the Birmingham schools at the centre of the 'Trojan Horse' investigation has issued a response to a critical Ofsted report, pointing out that the regulator makes no suggestion it tolerates extremism of any kind.
A statement from Park View Educational Trust, which runs Golden Hillock School, says: "Ofsted judges that Golden Hillock is not doing enough to raise students' awareness of the 'risks of extremism'.
However, it is crucial to note that the Ofsted reports make absolutely no suggestion, nor
did they find any evidence, that Golden Hillock either promotes or tolerates extremism or
Read: Ofsted to criticise Birmingham schools over 'Islamist links'
ITV News has seen an Ofsted report that strongly criticises the governance of one of the Academy schools at the centre of the 'Trojan Horse' investigation into possible links with hard-line Islamists.
The says measures to keep students safe are "inadequate", while the school's equalities policy was deemed "not fit for purpose".
The regulator also warns that "leaders and governors are not doing enough to mitigate against cultural isolation", while female staff complained about feeling "intimidated" by male colleagues,
Some of the key points raised in the report:
These concerns, along with several problems with the teaching and curriculum, have led to the school being placed in 'special measures' by the regulator,
This means the school has to follow an action plan to improve its performance or risks being closed down.

South African Airways has finalised a codeshare agreement with its low-cost subsidiary, Mango, on the Lanseria-Cape Town route.
Under the deal, SAA will place its code on Mango-operated flights between Lanseria and Cape Town, which were launched in June with an average of three flights daily.
Mango chief executive Nico Bezuidenhout said: "Our operation at Lanseria has shown significant promise during its first quarter of operation indicating growth opportunity in the Gauteng-West region."
He added: "We also believe that with the addition of the codeshare agreement to our Lanseria base, an additional stream of bookings from SAA as marketing carrier, will further cement our success at the port."
The codeshare contract followed the successful implementation of the coastal agreement between Durban and Cape Town late last year, said SAA.

Oh my god that was totally wierd and disgusting...but oddly satisfying...
Nice animation to.
I was in shock when I saw that you had made this. I thought you were pretty much done as far as flash goes. Boy was I wrong :) Completely messed up as usual 10 gold stars!
Very interesting flash, I believe the meaning is actually quite simple despite the strange symbolism. Basically, the theme is (to me anyway); the man learned to appreciate what he had. He gave into society by growing a tumour, which kills him. The dog offers him life and he thanks his body at the end because he was grateful for what he had. Overall, very well done piece of flash.
This was oddly touching in a strange way

Authorities in Pennsylvania canceled an Amber Alert for two young children reportedly taken from a central Pennsylvania home, saying the children were recovered unharmed and that two suspects were taken into custody.
State police said the 3-year-old girl and 4-year-old boy were taken by two men at gunpoint after an altercation at a Lancaster home at about 7:30 p.m. Thursday. Police said the abductors fled in a black vehicle and could be traveling to Massachusetts but said later that the vehicle was believed to be returning to Pennsylvania from New Jersey.
Authorities said a vehicle was stopped at about 8 a.m. Friday on a highway in Philadelphia, and the children were found unharmed and the suspects arrested.

Scott Disick has long struggled to escape his wild past, but the latest bombshell revelation that is set to explode could blow both his five-year relationship with Kourtney Kardashian and their entire family apart, the new issue of Star magazine is exclusively reporting.
"It's true that Scott began videotaping himself having sex with girls when he was in his late teens, and then he'd steal from them!" claims model Brittany Reichek, a former friend of Scott, who dated one of his closest pals for five years, and spent a lot of time running in the same circles back in New York.
"Scott and one of his buddies had a system," Brittany, 29, tells Star. "They would pass themselves off as wealthy stockbrokers, pick up girls in the clubs in the Hamptons, get drunk with them, then take them back to their parents' homes and claim the houses were their own.
PHOTOS: Khloe Kardashian Hits The Gym Without Any War Paint
"When the time was right, Scott and his friend would go through their handbags and steal just about anything they could get their hands on," including cell phones, camera, cash and even credit cards, she alleged.
Although no charges were ever filed against the pair in connection with their alleged scam and a rep for Scott, 29, denies Star's story, Scott and his pal allegedly "videotaped girls and stole from them more than 50 times in the years I was around him," said Reichek. "I think Scott got as good a high just from the actual things he stole."
The confession from his old party pal couldn't come at a worst time for Scott and Kourtney, whose partnership has become so volatile lately that even the birth of their second child, Penelope, on July 8, couldn't ease the tension.

Now a father of two and a famous reality star, Brittany said she thinks Scott has changed somewhat, but "only for self-preservation, not to be a better person."

Adjusting to life post-maternity leave was a struggle. We encountered day care drama and I fought to find the energy to get everything done.
One day, all the pieces came together for my husband, Matt, and me. We even made our bed. I felt like Super Parent with a milk-stained, sparkly cape.
That was until I returned home and pulled back the covers on the bed. Screams and panic followed. There in the center of the bed was a Lake Superior-sized puddle of yellow dog pee, and it reeked. Mr. Happy, our dog, had not only urinated all over the bed and pillows, but also had the chutzpah and talent to somehow get the blankets back to look like the bed was still made.
Occasional canine bladder accidents come with dog ownership. But when is it normal behavior versus cause for medical concern? Frequent dog urination can range from medical or behavior issues to the failure to spay or neuter your pets. Your veterinarian is a key partner in addressing frequent dog urination, and the ASPCA website offers fantastic information on dog marking. Solving the problem is often a simple fix (pardon the pun), and low-cost spay/neuter services are offered in many communities.
Our situation fell on the more serious side. After Mr. Happy engaged in other destructive behaviors, our vet referred us to a board-certified veterinarian behaviorist. We learned that Mr. Happy's urination was a byproduct of separation anxiety. Our beloved dog had grown accustomed to having someone at home, and was devastated when his humans left him for the day. Our behaviorist developed a treatment plan, which we continue to tweak based on Mr. Happy's mood. Separation anxiety impacts many animals, and it is important to consult a medical professional so you can get the best help for your pet.

When I wake up in the morning, before my brain can register what day of the week it is, my ears ring with the sounds of:
- Diva, my 10-year-old, egg-laying cockatiel, tweeting and "dancing" in her cage to the oldies station;
- Mr. Happy, my 6-year-old rescue dog, who suffers from many forms of anxiety, barking for someone to throw his favorite duck toy; and
- My 2-year-old toddler, negotiating potty training and screaming that it's time for her to feed Diva and Mr. Happy.
All of this happens before 6:15 A.M. I'm Erin, and my home resembles Times Square. It is loud, busy, exciting and sometimes smells like an overturned garbage truck on a hot day. Are my husband, Matt, and I off our rockers for embracing this lifestyle? Probably. We do have a daily pill sorter for our dog, after all. As my answers to frequently asked questions explain below, we can't imagine living our lives any other way.
Q: Doesn't having a small child and multiple pets make you crazy?
A: Craziness is all relative. There are plenty of things in the world that are crazier than having both small children and pets—would you cancel a trip to the park for your child or pet to burn off some energy due to a slight chance of rain? I don't think so.
Q: You have a lot of living things to keep happy. How do you get it all done?
A: Delegation! My pets and toddler often entertain each other. Think of all the fun, interactive games you can play as an interspecies family, such as an updated version of a classic game called, "Clue: What Did I Just Step In?" Watch the whole family gather at scene of the crime to uncover the mystery. Keep in mind, the one family member or pet who is hiding during this game is mostly likely the prime suspect.
Q: If you could do it all again, would you?
A: You bet! Rewind to 2004, when Matt and I brought home our bird, Diva. Even if I knew then what I know now—the mess, the noise and the smells – I would still make the same decision. They've all taught me important life lessons ranging from remembering to smile and dance to being sure to give unconditionally.
When we first adopted Mr. Happy, a trainer said he had no hope of getting over his fear of dogs. Guess what? You can teach an old dog new tricks. To me, a beautiful image is not a sunset—it is seeing your dog walk right next to another dog after going through weeks of specialized training.
I'm excited to team-up with ASPCA Parents to share the wonders of pet ownership and raising young children. Stay tuned for next month's post, when I share what's worse than having a horse's head in your bed. Don't worry—no animals were harmed in the process!

I must admit that it took a major disaster like Hurricane Sandy to inspire me to create a preparedness plan for my dogs, Mikey and Olive. When Sandy hit the Northeast, it was devastating to hear stories of pet parents who either left their pets behind in flooded homes, or worse, stayed home with their pets, putting the entire family at risk. Thankfully, my city allows pets at emergency shelters so pet owners didn't have to make that choice.
It's important to have a disaster plan for your pets, and what better way than to enlist your kids to help you create a plan and pet emergency kit.
Here are three tips as you start building a preparedness plan for your pet:
- Keep an emergency kit and supplies handy with items such as a photo of your pet, vaccination records, water, pet food and medications. ASPCA experts suggest putting medical documents along with a photo of your pet in a Ziploc bag, and taping it to the pet carrier so it's easy to locate when you need to evacuate quickly. It's best to prepare a hard plastic pet carrier to carry in case of emergency. Your kids can help you put this kit together as you teach them about the importance of planning for a disaster.
- Make sure your pets have collars and ID tags with up-to-date information. If you don't have a collar or ID tags, take your kids to a local pet store (one that doesn't sell puppies) and teach them about the importance of pets wearing ID tags in case they get lost. The ASPCA also recommends microchip as a more permanent form of ID, which can be your pet's ticket home as long as you update your contact info if it changes.
- Find out where you can take your pets in the event of evacuation. Some communities allow pets in emergency shelters, but others may not. Contact your local emergency management office, animal shelter or animal control to locate pet-friendly housing in your area.
The ASPCA recently launched its interactive mobile app, which is a great resource for disaster planning. The free app is available on iPhone and Android systems, and offers information to help pet parents protect their pets before and during disasters, as well as customized step-by-step instructions to find missing pets. The app also offers a place to safely store and update medical records for your pets. This handy tool is very easy to use and accessible as long as you have your phone. For more info and tips on disaster preparedness, visit www.aspca.org/mobileapp.
It's often too late for pet parents to evacuate with their pets or pack essential items when they're in a middle of a disaster, which is why it's important to plan in advance so we don't put ourselves and our pets in danger. My son is too young to truly understand the meaning of disaster preparedness, but he knows that helping mommy create an emergency kit is going to keep Mikey and Olive safe when we need to leave the house in a hurry.
Keri Matthews, a mom of two, has worked in the ASPCA's licensing department for more than five years. She lives on Long Island with her husband, Tom, her children, Gabriella and Tommy and their greyhound, Clyde.
For pet parents, welcoming a baby into the family is exciting and stressful! You want your pet to still feel your unconditional love after the baby is home.
We have planned twice for a baby arriving—the first time was more than two years ago when our daughter, Gabriella, was born. Then, about eight months ago, we welcomed Tommy. Clyde, our 12-year-old greyhound, has done really well with both babies—pretty commendable for a senior dog!
We were anxious about how we would incorporate Clyde into our new day-to-day activities and make events like crying, crawling and walking less stressful on him—and us!
Here's a list of tips that we used when our little ones were on the way:
Before your baby arrives:
- Gradually make changes to your house. We put up the bassinet, pack and play and swing about a month before my due date so Clyde could get used to the new layout.
- The night before I came home from the hospital, Tom brought a blanket that the baby had used and put it on Clyde's bed.
- Plan out the timing of your pet's walks and decide who will walk with him. These things tend to slip through the cracks during the first few weeks after your baby's arrival!
- Designate an area where your baby can play and rest that is off-limits to your pet.
When your baby is home:
- When we walked in from the hospital, we put the carrier down and greeted Clyde first. We then let him decide when to come to the baby .
- Allow your pet to sniff the baby often.
- "Teach" the baby how to properly pet the cat or dog—it's best to start early on this one!
- Stick to your pet's routine as much as possible, including his walks, favorite treats and outings. Clyde and I still do "trick time" every night. He gets exercise (and his Kong!) These minutes together are so important.
Visit the ASPCA Pet Care section to learn more about preparing dogs and cats for the arrival of a new baby. As a mom of two human kids and one canine kid, I'll always feel guilty that one of the three is not getting enough attention no matter how hard I try. But, I am going to continue to have fun while trying!

As the school year draws to a close, children become giddy with the anticipation of summer vacation. Once they toss their backpacks aside, consider using the next three months as a perfect time to ramp up the training for the four-legged members of your family. Guiding your kids as you work together to train your dog or cat can be a fun and instructive summer activity for them, as well as a way to enhance your family's relationship with a better-behaved pet.
An excellent place to design a summer curriculum is the ASPCA Virtual Pet Behaviorist, where a library of training tools is available sorted by dog and cat care. The site includes dozens of easy-to-read and informative articles on every aspect of the care and training of pets of all ages.
Our family includes two chocolate Labradors, Moose and Gus, who are eight and four. Though they understand the basic commands of Sit, Stay, Down and Come, they have a terrible habit of jumping on anyone who walks into the house. In the Virtual Pet Behaviorist, I learned that dogs like to sniff the faces (and other body parts) of dogs they greet. Naturally, since humans stand considerably taller, dogs follow their instinct for a face-to-face "hello" by jumping up on us. Through the years, we have been inconsistent in our response to Moose and Gus and their exuberant greetings, so it is no wonder that this problem persists. This summer, once our dog-loving teenage daughter is out of school, I plan for the two of us to train the dogs to NOT jump on our friends and neighbors. I printed a guide about this very topic from the Virtual Behaviorist for some great training tips.
As in all pet care, it is we pet parents who need to be trained to help our pets learn positive behavior. Once we welcome an animal into our homes and hearts, the next step it is to teach them how to behave. While your kids take a break from their lessons, think about using their down time to start summer school for your pet.
