If you're reading this, chances are you don't read poetry too regularly (just a guess). You may even feel slight revulsion towards it, that mysterious, elusive presence in the literary spectrum, that stuff that sometimes rhymes, but most of the time just makes you scratch your head. That's okay! Be revulsed! Be confused! Any reaction is a good reaction.
If someone, like, say, me, or rather I, told you a poem could be filmed, you'd say, "No way!" And in part you might be right. The idea of a filmed poem conjures up a host of images, none of them pleasant: ever seen those placemats with scripture printed on them? Pastoral scenes? Clouds? Windswept plains? Pairs of footprints in the sand? Picture that as a film, with a voice-over by some out-of-work baritone. You get the idea. The concept of filming something without structure or narrative is a quicksand, just waiting for someone to step into it.
But fear not: various filmmakers, animators, and other pasty-faced, tired-looking souls have been hard at work for years, disproving this hypothesis, and the results of their experiments have been fine, indeed.
One of the first products I'll show you is a fairly safe bet: it's an animation of a poem by Charles Bukowski, and a much-beloved animation, at that.
Many people go through a Charles Bukowski phase: usually it's in your college years, when all you see is the openness, the directness, the humanity, and the humor of his poems; because his chronic alcoholism and self-destructive isolationism, along with his rampant misogyny and sexual degradation, seem romantic to you, you're not really able to analyze the quality of the work. He could say anything, literally anything, and you might think it was wonderful.
So you buy all of his books, and you drink a lot, because he did, and you keep reading him, and you keep talking about him, and you keep swapping favorite poem/favorite line stories with your friends, and then, eventually, you read something else. And then? In a year's time, maybe two, if you read enough, Bukowski becomes an "oh, yeah, him, whatever" author. The problem here is not his work, really, which was wildly inconsistent. It's also not the fact that you can cast him aside so easily. It's that the drunken bravado of a lot of his poems ultimately outshadowed what he was really good at, which was telling stories. That, and the fact that he was imprisoned by his style--but that's another blog post altogether. His numerous fictional works (Ham on Rye and Notes of a Dirty Old Man being notable examples) attest to the fact that his narrative impulse always competed with his poetic impulse; when the storyteller took the mike from the poet in his poems, the positive result was always noticeable.
"The Man with the Beautiful Eyes," cast remarkably here in bold, confidently drawn blacks and blues and reds and whites and grays by artist Jonny Hannah and animator Jonathan Hodgson, is a testament to Bukowski's elegant, perfect, utterly personal narrative ability. It's a gorgeous little movie, full of the fear and the wildness and the pure silliness and awfulness of reality that comprise childhood, presented in a rough-cut, aggressive, startling manner that suits Bukowski's work, and all in just over five minutes. It's not exactly new, having been first released in 2000, but if you haven't seen it, it will be a real discovery... Watch it, and see.

Thank you so much for this thoughtful introduction to poetry on film, to Bukowski, and the link to the lovely Bukoski video interpretation. It's wonderfully well done, the annimation and the tone of the narration. How good that the film-maker chose one of the tender Bukowski poems, one infused with such pathos. That's nearly always his best work, not the poems about fighting and hookers and drinking -- all that bravado -- the poems the kids love. Those poems became repetitious, but every now and then he could hit a note... Every now and then he could sound like no other poet. I wrote the Los Angeles Times Book Revew memorial piece for Bukowski, and I spoke at the Bukowski tribute in the huge Guadalajara Book fair a couple years ago, so I have a point of view on the guy. I look forward to other video poems from Max Winter.

Oscar®-winning composer Richard Sherman, who, with his late brother Robert, wrote many of Annette's biggest song hits, said:
"Annette's sweet, unassuming spirit, her love of people, and her capacity to exude kindness and good feelings to everyone she met was part of her beautiful charisma. Because the songs we wrote for her brought us to the attention of Walt, Bob and I always referred to Annette as our 'lucky star.' My wife, Elizabeth, joins me in sending a heartfelt aloha with much love to our 'Pineapple Princess.'"
Funicello went on to parody herself in Bob Rafelson's 1968 film "Head," opposite the Monkees. Funicello and Avalon returned to the beach in 1987's "Back to the Beach." She and Avalon played themselves in "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes: The Annette Funicello Story," a 1995 telepic based on her memoir.
She is survived by her second husband, Glen Holt and three children from her marriage to Jack Gilardi: sons Jack Gilardi Jr., a producer, and Jason Gilardi and daughter Gina Portman, and three grandchildren. In lieu of flowers, donations in Annette's memory can be made to The Annette Funicello Research Fund.

Work begins on Bahrain hospital in Somalia
The foundation stone for Bahrain Specialist Hospital has been laid in Somalia's capital Mogadishu and its building agreement signed. On the directives of His Majesty King Hamad, honorary president of the Royal Charity Organisation (RCO), and under the patronage of RCO board of directors chairman Shaikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, RCO secretary-general Dr. Mustafa Al Sayed laid the stone. The hospital is the first development project in the country in the last 20 years. The Somali health minister announced that the National Ophthalmology Centre in Mogadishu will be re-named "Bahrain National Ophthalmology Centre" in recognition of the King's support of Somali people and his continuous humanitarian initiatives. He said that the funds were raised through the BH4Somalia campaign spearheaded by the Information Affairs Authority, led by its president Shaikh Fawaz bin Mohammed Al Khalifa. He praised support accorded to RCO by the Health Ministry and the Bahrain Red Crescent. Source: TradeArabia News Service
Abu Dhabi seals Korean hospital deal
Abu Dhabi Health Authority said it has signed strategic agreements with four of leading South Korean hospitals for the full-scale referral of patients from the emirate to these hospitals. The hospital service agreement is the first-of-its-kind to be made by Korean government with a foreign country and aims to boost collaboration in a patient treatment-reference system with Abu Dhabi. Under this deal, the four hospitals - Samsung Seoul, Seoul National University, Asian Medical Center and Seoul St. Mary's Hospital - will send bills to the Health Authority-Abu Dhabi, within six months of providing medical services to patients. The Health Authority-Abu Dhabi will then pay all bills in Korean currency through the UAE Embassy in Seoul within 45 days of a request being submitted. The Health Authority-Abu Dhabi is now selecting the first group of patients to be sent for treatment to Korea, said the chairman of the board of directors Mohammed Sultan Al Hameli and CEO Zaid Daoud Al Siksek during the signing ceremony in Seoul.

Bahrain to open fifth nutrition clinic
Bahrain's fifth specialized nutrition clinic is expected to open in the coming months to promote healthy lifestyles, said a top official. However, the location is yet to be confirmed as the clinic could open its doors in either Manama or Riffa. "It will open either in Manama or Riffa in the coming months," said Health Ministry public health directorate nutrition section head Dr. Nadia Gharib. The ministry runs four nutrition clinics at the National Bank of Bahrain Health Centre in Dair, Arad, Hamad Town and East Riffa. The clinics help patients tackle obesity, diabetes and hypertension as they are examined by a team of experts, dieticians and health education specialists. Source: Gulf Daily News
UAE's healthcare firms 'facing growth snags'
Despite strong support from the UAE government, private healthcare providers still face significant challenges to operate and grow in the Emirates, said a report. One of the key limitations to development is the lack of standardization of regulations across the country and the various stages of healthcare development of each Emirate, according to Deloitte Middle East's newly released 2011 Survey of the UAE healthcare sector. Other challenges explored in the report, include the attraction, retention and development of qualified healthcare professionals, the cost and complexity of regulation requirements and licensing, and a lack of confidence in the UAE's health system coupled with high treatment cost which represent the main sources of UAE outbound medical tourism.

Special zone for Bahrain clinics planned
Private medical facilities could be soon allowed to open in a designated strip in the Central Governorate. The Central Municipal Council has approved an urgent proposal by Central Municipality director-general Dr. Mohammed Hassan to allow private medical businesses to open on Al Estiqlal Highway, Buhair. The facilities, which will range from specialized hospitals to clinics, will start from near the Al Estiqlal Walkway and extend to the petrol station. "It is planning for the future as we work to get a designated area for private medical services, which we believe Buhair could be the best for," said Dr. Hassan. Source: TradeArabia News Service

The Bicycle Safety Improvement Fund will likely be front and center at today's Newport Beach bike safety committee meeting.
At 4:30 p.m. committee members will gather to discuss several topics, including the issue of maintenance vehicles parking in bike lanes on Newport Coast Drive and an update on the bike safety improvements fund. According to newportbeachmemorialride.com, $76,500.25 has been raised for improving bike safety in Newport Beach.
In October the city council said for every dollar raised by the community, the city will match three additional dollars in bike safety expenditures up to $450,000.
According to April Morris, a bike safety fund organizer, two areas that have been identified as needing safety improvements are the pinch point at northbound PCH and Dover Drive and the right turn lane on southbound PCH and Bayside Drive.
Attendance is encouraged at the meeting to help the committee determine which projects should be paid for through the fund.
"Your voice matters in terms of prioritizing how the money is spent," Morris said in an email about the meeting.
The bike safety fund was established following the deaths of two cyclists.
In October more than 1,200 bike riders from around Orange County participated in October's memorial bike ride held in honor of cyclists Sarah Leaf and Catherine "Kit" Campion-Ritz who were killed one day apart in bicycle-related accidents in Newport Beach.
Leaf, 29, worked as a nutritionist in Corona del Mar. She was killed in a bicycle collision on the morning of Friday, Sept. 14 when she was cycling on Pacific Coast Highway and the driver of a stake bed truck turned right onto Bayside Drive. In October police announced the driver of the truck was not at fault.
Campion, a doctor who treated patients in Newport Beach for close to 30 years, was killed during a fatal hit-and-run on Saturday, Sept. 15 as she cycled on Newport Coast Drive with her husband. Michael Jason Lopez, 39, of Anaheim, was arrested three days after Campion died. If convicted, Lopez faces a maximum sentence of eight years in state prison for the deadly hit-and-run crash.
The Newport Beach Bicycle Safety Committee will meet today at 4:30 p.m. in the Friends Room of the Central Library.

---- — Well, it looks like winter is on our heels. Where did the fall go?
It seems like it was yesterday when the cold air hit my face as I left the hospital after having some exploratory surgery. Spring was just around the corner, and the first thing I thought about was how many plants I would put out this year.
And wouldn't it be nice to sit there in the warm summer sun, watching those plants grow? I thought to myself.
Actually, I could not do that unless I had extra powers and stayed out there all day. And, anyway, the plants wouldn't like the attention. They have a sense that they want to do their own thing without someone pestering them to grow faster and bigger. But they too like that sweet sound from those who take care of them each day.
Now here is where you say that maybe Uncle Ray is getting a little senile. But I truly believe kind words are needed in those gardens we grow. I know God smiles when I do that.
Anyway, getting back to what the weather will be this winter, I would venture to say there will be plenty of snow, but not a lot at one time. There will be a lot of moisture in the form of ice, snow and rain. The sun will send the warm air down to us and maybe give us a week or two of spring-like weather.
Really, I could care less how harsh it is because I won't be getting out in it too much, except going to the stores and the doctors. I hope one day to tell all of you I will be getting better, but we will hold up on that prediction because God has not given the word on that date.
God has my number, and he hasn't pulled it yet. Two other times I was down, wondering about what was going to happen to me, and he said, Don't worry about it, my boy, because only I know when that will be.
So to get back to the weather, let's just take what is given and use common sense. That is the way I live. I try not to worry about anything if I can. And if it seems like things are getting heavy on my shoulders, I will ask God for help and I know I will receive it. My thought is God will never give me more than I can take.
Life is a gift and living it is a responsibility. You might say I am just trying to keep a good outlook on life, and you might be right. With love, I was brought into this world to live it, and so I have. Maybe there were things I did that were wrong, but I have asked and received forgiveness.
For a while I expect and probably will receive the OK to stay out in that garden as long as I want to. In my lifetime, I have lost my grandparents, my parents, by brothers and sisters, and a daughter, and I know where they all are. You live each day as if it might be your last, but with hope that tomorrow will arrive. You prepare for the going but hope for the staying. You treat all others with love and respect, but you never give up on their friendship.

AGC warns of labor shortage if demand continues to rise.
Construction employers added 19,000 workers to payrolls in March 2014, bringing industry employment to the highest level since June 2009, while the industry's unemployment rate dropped to the lowest March level in seven years, according to an analysis of new government data by the Associated General Contractors of America (AGC), Arlington, Va. AGC officials warned that the pool of available workers is declining rapidly, raising the prospects for significant labor shortages if demand continues to expand.
"The rate of construction hiring continues to outrun job growth in the overall economy for the past year," says Ken Simonson, AGC chief economist. "Furthermore, the pickup has been well balanced, as both nonresidential and residential construction segments added workers last month and over the past 12 months."
Construction employment totaled 5,964,000 in March, a gain of 151,000 or 2.6 percent from a year earlier, compared with a rise in total nonfarm employment of 1.7 percent over that period, Simonson noted. Residential building and specialty trade contractors added a combined total of 9,100 workers in March and 103,000 (4.8 percent) over 12 months. Nonresidential construction—building, specialty trades and heavy and civil engineering contractors—grew by 9,900 employees last month and 48,800 (1.3 percent) since March 2013.
"Although most construction employers who need workers have been able to find them so far, increasing numbers of contractors say they are having difficulty hiring," Simonson warns. "Last month, the number of unemployed former construction workers fell to the lowest March level since 2007. More of these experienced workers are leaving the industry than are rejoining it."
The unemployment rate for workers actively looking for jobs and last employed in construction declined from 14.7 percent a year earlier to 11.3 percent last month. Simonson noted that the unemployment rate for construction workers had fallen by more than half since March 2010, when it reached 24.9 percent. During that time, the number of unemployed workers who last worked in construction declined by 1.3 million, but industry employment increased by only 445,000.
"Based on projects that have been announced in recent months, contractors are likely to be seeking workers for many types of construction in most parts of the country this spring," Simonson adds. "Multifamily, manufacturing and oil and gas-related facilities will generate particularly strong demand for workers. It will be a challenge to fill all the openings."
AGC officials say one reason the industry is likely to face labor shortages is because of the declining number of secondary-level construction training programs. They urge federal, state and local officials to take steps designed to make it easier for schools, construction firms and local trade associations to establish new training programs for future construction workers.
"If elected and appointed officials don't act soon to improve the quantity and quality of training opportunities for future workers, many firms are going to have a hard time keeping up with demand," says Stephen E. Sandherr, the association's chief executive officer. "The last thing the economy needs is to have labor shortages undermine the construction industry's long hoped-for recovery."

text: Prehistoric sea monster lived longer and grew bigger than thought Science 26 May 11 by Mark Brown Tweet Sea MonsterEsben Horn A fossil find has revealed that a particular type of razor-toothed sea monsters from the Cambrian period, called anomalocaridids, lived longer and grew bigger than previously thought.The grotesque and fantastical creature has an elongated and segmented body with blade-like filaments running down its back. It's possible that they worked like gills.The anomalocaridid has eyes on stalks and a pair of flexible tentacle-like limbs on the front of its face to shovel prey into its mouth. Inside its jaws, the monster hides a mouthful of razor-sharp plates, shaped like a pineapple ring, with teeth projecting towards the centre.With its manipulative arms and deadly ring of teeth, the agile fish would have been at the top of the food chain in its prehistoric seas. The vicious predator would have made light work of soft bodied animals and possibly even harder shelled organisms like trilobites.With no fossil evidence to suggest otherwise, it was assumed that the sea monster became extinct by the end of the Cambrian Period, about 500 million years ago. It was also thought that they never grew larger than about 60 centimetres long.But a new find rewrites the anomalocaridid's history books. A fossil, located in a treasure trove of paleontological evidence in Morocco, is a new example of the creature that measures a relatively monstrous metre long. The fossil also shows the animal lived well into the Ordovician period, some 30 million years longer than thought. In the rest of the fossil find in Morocco was evidence that many creatures lived on to see the Ordovician. These include halkieriids, which look like slugs wearing chain mail; Hallucigenia, which resemble long-legged centipedes with sea-urchin spines; and Opabina, which have five eyes and a long nose with a claw on the end.

This is a great article from Bob Ford about the Wild-gimmick
Bob Ford--Philly Inquirer
There is a story in one of the national magazines this week about a high school football coach in Arkansas who has decided that punting and placekicking are just things he's not that into any longer.
If you look around every season, you can find something like this, some strange twist on the old way of playing football, some team out in the boonies that puts in lefthanded players for plays to the left, or snaps the ball sideways, or has finally perfected the hidden-ball trick.
It gets boring as you stand around monitoring fourth-period gym class and the mind tends to wander. You come up with things.
Kevin Kelley, the football coach at Pulaski Academy in Little Rock, hasn't punted since 2007. He doesn't much like to try field goals, either.
"The average punt in high school nets you 30 yards, but we convert around half our fourth downs, so it doesn't make sense to give up the ball," Kelley told Jon Wertheim of Sports Illustrated. "Besides, if your offense knows it has four downs instead of three, it totally changes the game. I don't believe in punting and really can't ever see doing it again."
I don't know if Andy Reid subscribes to SI, or if he has time for idle reading during the football season, but if he does, look out, Sav Rocca. This is, after all, the season of copycat innovation for Reid, who has become infatuated with the Wildcat offensive wrinkle, apparently to the extent that he added a convicted felon to the roster just to make the playbook even more fascinating.
The Wildcat and its various offshoots came along for essentially the same reason that Kelley decided not to have a punter on his roster. If Pulaski Academy had a punter who could consistently net 50 yards, Kelley would punt. If there were a placekicker on the roster who was reliable on field-goal attempts of up to 40 yards or so, he'd try some field goals. That's not the case, however, and the odds tell Kelley he's better off going for it on fourth down.
In the same way, the option packages and direct-snap wrinkles came along because teams didn't have good passing quarterbacks. The Wildcat may eventually become a forgotten orphan - at least at the pro level - but right now it has a clamoring mob of fathers.
Some believe it developed (from murky mists of the single-wing and wing-T formations) at West Genesee High School in New York state, where Steve Bush, now an assistant with the Miami Dolphins, coached the Wildcats.
Others give parentage to Hugh Wyatt, a mad blackboard scribbler for the La Center High School Wildcats in Washington state, or to the coaching staff of the Kansas State Wildcats a decade ago.
It is probably all the above with variations thrown in, the way jazz musicians can improvise on a melody. For the Eagles' purposes, with the whole Michael Vick tangent, it's just a good thing the offense didn't start at a high school where the nickname was the Pit Bulls, or the Fighting Dogs, or the Jumper Cables.
Last week against the Saints, with Kevin Kolb at quarterback, the Eagles ran some form of what Reid calls their Wildcat a total of 12 times, according to the coach. Nine of those plays had direct snaps to either a receiver or a running back, and the three others snaps to Kolb that initiated a sprint-out or Wishbone-type option package.
Overall, the Wildcat was 16 percent of the offense, which is a deep wrinkle, almost a crease. In the first half, before the game became a chuck-and-duck affair for Kolb, it was 23 percent. In other words, Andy likes his toy.
The strategy is defensible for the time being because it worked reasonably well, but mostly defensible because it took heat off Kolb and because the wrinkles came while the regular group was on the field. That dynamic will change, however, with Vick now eligible and whenever Donovan McNabb returns to the lineup.
There is an undeniable element of surprise that helps the Wildcat. That element will disappear every time Vick runs onto the field to join the huddle. (Indeed, the only logical use of Vick is as the regular quarterback in an offense that is 100 percent Wildcat, but that's fodder for another time.) As it is now, when Vick comes into the game for his five or 10 plays or whatever it might be, the surprise is lost and the advantage swings to the defense.
Then there is the question of why it makes sense to use the Wildcat at all when McNabb is playing. This is an offense that was invented to cover the flaws of quarterbacks who can't throw as well as McNabb. Turning McNabb into a wide receiver and placing someone who isn't as good at the quarterback position may be exciting and different, but eventually it will get you beat.
Kevin Kelley is a smart man and an innovator, but if he had a punter, he'd punt. And if he had McNabb at quarterback, he'd damn sure leave him back there. Sometimes it doesn't pay to get too smart.

Christina Aguilera Flashes Cleavage and a Smile Post-Split
Christina Aguilera has fun with her son, jets to Hawaii.
Christina Aguilera's biggest track of 2010 may be called "Not Myself Tonight," but this bombshell blonde is looking more "herself" than ever following last week's announcement that she and husband Jordan Bratman are divorcing. We've got photos of Aguilera spending sweet QT with her son last week, as well as her heaving the cleave over the weekend in Hawaii. Feeling more like yourself these days, eh XTina?
Whoa! Christina Aguilera Splits from Husband Jordan Bratman
We reported last week on the shocker split between Christina Aguilera and her music exec hubby Jordan Bratman. While there's little word on why the pair split (stress and differences over the too-small success of Aguilera's latest album?), in a statement Christina did declare that they were committed to parenting their two-year-old son Max with love, stability and equal commitment.
Yikes: Christina Aguilera Speaks Out on Jordan Bratman Split
Both Bratman and Aguilera seem to be living up to that vow, as Christina took little Max on a pumpkin-picking day out last Thursday just after word of the split had broken. Christina and Max visited Mr. Bones' pumpkin patch in Beverly Hills, where Christina snapped digital pics of Max in the haystack before riding down an awesome-looking mega-slide together.
By the time the weekend hit, Christina Aguilera's smile hadn't diminished an inch. "USA Today" reported that Aguilera "showed up in Hawaii over the weekend for the opening of Ian Schrager's new Waikiki 'Edition' hotel," where she ran into Vanessa Hudgens and partied with producer Tricky Stewart over a dinner prepared by "Iron Chef" superstar Masaharu Morimoto. Every photo of Aguilera from the weekend shows her popping off her cleavage in colored, skin-tight getups like we hadn't seen in ages (all year she's been donning more conservative digs, almost always wearing all black). One accessory Aguilera wasn't wearing? Her wedding band..

Both next-gen DVD formats Blu-ray and HD DVD show amazing pictures. That much we know. Now we just want to know what pictures they will be showing—what movies will each (or both) churn out, and that means content.
In the latest move of the high-def DVD format news, Paramount Pictures and DreamWorks Animation SKG have announced that they'll exclusively support HD DVD.
In that regard, all movies distributed by Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks Pictures, Paramount Vantage, Nickelodeon Movies and MTV Films, as well as movies from DreamWorks Animation are included.
Heading the list of exclusive titles to be released on HD DVD by this group will be the Will Ferrell vehicle "Blades of Glory" on Aug. 28, followed by "Transformers" and "Shrek the Third".
It's been noted that films directed by Steven Spielberg are not exclusive to either format, however.

Today I bring you an interesting dialogue between PixelTM and Carbon131 - the creator of Jet Wars: Advanced Battle; an extremely popular game on ROBLOX. Enjoy!
PixelTM (Formerly Kintozi): Who/What inspired you to make these amazing games?
Carbon131: I have always enjoyed making people happy. Whether it is making them laugh or just making something they enjoy. This is what lead me to spending hundreds of hours building and scripting on ROBLOX. I don't necessarily think my games are amazing, I am simply glad people enjoy them.
PixelTM: What is Battleblox?
Carbon131: It is a domination type game where players must capture their opponents flag and also kill them to gain points. The team with the highest points after the round is up, wins. It has tons of vehicles ranging from Jets, Boats, Jet Skis, soon-to-be Humvees, and possibly even helicopters. I hope to add a variety of weapons as the game progresses.
PixelTM: What are your final hopes for Battleblox and Jet Wars: Advanced Battle?
Carbon131: For it to be lag free. The biggest thing I struggle with on ROBLOX is making places that don't struggle with lag. This, however, is an issue with many moving parts. With multiple jets, boats, land vehicles, players, etc., moving all at once, it is a lot for ROBLOX to handle.
PixelTM: Do you have any words of inspiration for hopeful game builders/programmers?
Carbon131: When you look at the giants of ROBLOX, i.e, the big game creators, just remember, they were once small as well. Start small, then go big. Quality is always better than quantity. If you make a place with a few awesome weapons and gameplay, odds are it is going to do much better than a place with tons of meh weapons, and poor gameplay.
This community written article was provided by PixelTM. We look forward to seeing more content from him in the future!

UPDATED: Lymm principal resigns following suspension
Updated 11:55am Friday 11th April 2014 in News
THE principal of Lymm High School has resigned, the Warrington Guardian can reveal.
Angela Walsh, who has held the position at the school on Oughtrington Lane since 2008, was suspended in June pending an investigation.
Speculation was rife following the sudden suspension of Ms Walsh, but Mr Walshe was unable to comment on the investigation any further amid fears it could jeopardise proceedings.
But her departure was alleged to be linked to the high turnover of staff and the implementation of 'petty' rules during her headship.
Following the suspension of Ms Walsh, Tarun Kapur was appointed as the executive principal of the school.
Under Mr Kapur's leadership, the school was graded as good by Ofsted after inspectors visited the school in December.
Mr Walshe said: "The school is making great progress, under the leadership of Tarun Kapur, who will be continuing in that role.
"We want to build for the future on the very good Ofsted report the school achieved, through the hard work of all the school staff.
"Their professionalism and commitment to the school and the children is a great strength.
"Right now, the staff and students are very focused on getting the best possible exam results in the summer, and on next term's activities like the forthcoming production of Midsummer Night's Dream, and many other sporting and musical events."

On a brighter note I think it is worth pointing out that although I can't speak for the lower school, things at sixth form are really good and all of the staff - teachers and heads - are amazing. I think the majority of teaching staff at Lymm are hard-working and good at their jobs; they genuinely care.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Bergdorf Goodman has rolled out the red carpet to celebrate its 111th year, and commissioned a full-length documentary to toast the occasion. But this week's New Yorker pays tribute to a Bergdorf landmark that's lesser-known—unless you happen to be Patricia Field, Isaac Mizrahi, or the late Babe Paley. Betty Halbreich is the ur-personal shopper: The woman behind Betty Halbreich's Solutions, headquartered at the store, is one of Bergdorf Goodman's longest-standing employees (hired 1976, following a stint at Geoffrey Beene), and, to judge from Judith Thurman's new profile, one of its saltiest. Halbreich pulls no punches in laying out the good, the bad, and the ill-fitting for her clients, which include all manner of society wives, celebrities (Meryl Streep, Liza Minnelli, and Mia Farrow have passed through her hands), and TV shows (Sex and the City, Gossip Girl, and just about every daytime soap). "My work is like lay therapy," is the way she describes her vocation to the magazine. "You listen, you prescribe—clothes are a fix—and you hold up a mirror. Most people can't see themselves." In her corner office, the doctor is in.

Education recruitment drive aimed at graduates
5:00am Thursday 10th July 2014 in News By Elizabeth Mackley
NEW College is supporting a drive to attract high-achieving graduates to teaching – as almost half of 16-year-olds fail their English and maths GCSEs.
The latest statistics show that 40 per cent of all 16-year-olds do not achieve a grade C in their GCSE English and maths exams, putting British youngsters far behind their international peers.
Although many of these students do go on to further education and college, 90 per cent of them still fail to achieve the minimum standard by the time they reach 19.
As part of steps taken to tackle the problem, the Government already requires that all young people who lack a GCSE in maths or English must continue to work towards it.
At New College in Swindon a number of students continue to study English or maths as necessary as part of their further education choices.
Graham Taylor, principal and chief executive at the college, said: "If 40 per cent of students don't get grade C or higher in their GCSE exams then some of those must be in Swindon.
"Last year I think 56 per cent of students had five GCSEs in Swindon.
"All the students on our course have to have achieved a C grade or higher in their English and maths GCSEs, and actually now we can't get funding for people who do not continue to study English and maths one way or another."
In an attempt to tackle the issue, many further education and training providers are offering financial incentives of up to £30,000 to attract the highest achieving graduates into teaching.
David Russell, chief executive of the Education and Training Foundation, said: "It's a critical time to address the maths and English standards in England.
"We need to break the cycle. New maths and English graduates considering a career in teaching tend not to know about the further education and training sector.
"If they did, most would choose it. The scope for making a difference is immediate and immense.
"The variety of career routes is considerable. And top salaries exceed those in schools, as colleges are much larger and more complex institutions. Too many able and committed young graduates have overlooked teaching in this sector in the past.
"These generous new financial incentives should catch the attention and prompt them to have a look at what this dynamic and diverse sector has to offer them. Once in, I think they won't look back."
To find out more about the full range of financial incentives available, and where to train, visit www.feadvice.org.uk or phone 0300 303 1877.

LOVE LOVE LOVE MY DRESS! I have known this was my dress since April! Just ordered it today in ivory! I can't wait to wear it in September! We're having an outdoor ceremony by a lake and this dress is perfect! I can move easily in it and with a french bustle I will be able to dance all night! January 14, 2012
Love this dress! I came into the store with this dress in mind after seeing it online. I tried on a few before it and was complimented on several of them. As soon as I got this one on, I knew it was the one. Everyone who has seen me in it absolutely loves it. It is a simply dress but it is so gorgeous on. The petticoat underneath really adds to it, makes it even better. Sizing runs like 1-2 smaller than what you think you would normally wear. Do not be discouraged though, this dress is very flattering! It hugs in all the right spots and is very thinning. All the reviews I read on this website before trying the dress on, were very accurate. Thanks ladies! I cant wait for my April 14th wedding to wear this in front of my friends, family, and future hubby! January 14, 2012
Amazing! This was the third dress I tried on and as soon as I saw myself, I knew it was it. It made me look absolutely gorgeous and I looked 3 sizes smaller even without spanx or anything! I would recommend this to ANYONE!!! It's so elegant and so easy to move around in. I cannot wait until my wedding day. :) January 9, 2012
All-Around Great Dress The dress is very slimming and figure-flattering, as many of the reviews have already said. It is comfortable, is easily worn with a slip from Davids underneath, but I wouldn't recommend the Davids bras - they just didn't seem very fitting with the dress. The dress is classy enough for a church wedding but also able to be pulled up in a nice bustle for fun and dancing at the reception - very versatile. December 28, 2011
25-28 of 100

Fairest Isle: A Journal....Entry 3
It's been a wonderful week so far, and it's only Tuesday morning! We are rehearsing in the beautifully-renovated Citadel Studio of the Coleman-Lemieux dance company at Parliament and Dundas. That area is growing and changing rapidly. We had a great day on Sunday with all the singers and our crackerjack continuo players...lots of music to try, sort out and discuss. Everyone sounds wonderful...the two sopranos - Dawn and Michele - are a perfect match. Lawrence Wiliford is perfectly suited to this repertoire...he should be singing Purcell all over the world!! Our three newcomers - Scott Belluz, Charlie Davidson and Geoffrey Sirret all impress me with their powerful voices and high spirits. Yesterday, we had a dance rehearsal with the brilliant Marie-Nathalie and sorted out the script with Derek and Arlene. I'm particularly excited with the little costume bits that our designer Erika Connor is coming up with. They should greatly enhance the beauty of this repertoire. It's a feast of deeply moving, funny, woderfully strange and brilliant music from beginning to end. I look forward to more work today and, finally, to putting it all together with the full orchestra tomorrow. Very exciting!! I hope you're all planning to be with us this Friday and Saturday. I think it's going to be quite special.

LED based light source for replacement of fluorescent tubes
The light source can be inserted as a direct replacement (retrofitting) for any fluorescent tubes in existing fittings. It has a number of advantages compared to traditional fluorescent tubes:
Significantly lower energy consumption
5 - 6 times longer life. Less replacements. Less waste
Better light quality. All colour temperatures are possible dependent on specific needs
The colder surroundings, the better efficiency, which is contrary to fluorescent tubes which use more energy in cold surroundings (freezer/ cold rooms)
Turns on/off immediately. No need for any ignitor.
Furthermore the embedded intelligent controller enables the following extra advantages:
The light can be dimmed
Color temperature and CRI can be adjusted.
The light can be adjusted automatically dependent of the ambient illumination and contribution of the daylight.
The light is only turned on when it is needed. When persons or vehicles are within the illumination area.
Fittings in the same group can be controlled individually by communication via the installation cable or wireless
The light source consists of a number of Light Emitting Diodes (LED), mounted on the outside of a tube with the same dimensions as a traditional fluorescent tube. The tube gives the same amount of light as a traditional fluorescent tube. A power supply embedded in the light source converts the 230 VAC from the fitting to a voltage suitable for the LEDs. The tube can include an embedded intelligent control system, so that the light output is automatically adjusted to the actual needs, dependent on light from other light sources in the surroundings, as for an example daylight.
The first prototypes were constructed and patented in 2004 with financial support from
DTU Innovation
Dansk Energi
(ELFOR). The development was carried out as a
(funded by the electricity consumers). The LED-tube has since then been developed further as the LEDs got better and cheaper. Currently the LED-tube is protected by two patents:
Market potential
There is no doubt that the market potential of the new LED light tube is large. In Denmark alone 6.15 million fluorescent tubes were imported in 2005, for a total value of 9.5 mil. . (source: Danmarks Statistik). It is assumed that in the EU approximately 560 million fluorescent tubes at a total value of 870 mil. were sold in 2005!
The fluorescent tube has been one of the most efficient and cheap light sources on the market for decades. White LEDs are a relatively new technology which has developed progressively in the recent years; Both by efficiency and by a decrease in the unitprice.
At the moment the LED-tube can not compete with the fluorescent tube if only price and efficiency are considered. Therefore a detailed Cost-Benefit analysis has been developed, to check if it is proffitable for a specific customer, to replace old fluorescent tubes with LED-tubes. The cost-benefit analysis considers all relevant parameters like: energy consumption, lifetime, replacement costs and temperature dependency etc.

Chloe Hosking
For the last few years June has been a lonely month for me. The tours replace one day races and, for the most part, the racing migrates from the north of Europe a little further south.
Gone are the bike path wide roads and zero-meter altitude gain races of the Netherlands and in their place pop up the mountain passes and blistering heat of Italy and Spain.
In-between it all however, the Euros and North Americans jet off home for their nationals. I'm convinced that while the talk is about crowning a new national champion it's really just a guise to confuse the Australians and Kiwis when everyone returns back to the peloton in different jerseys half-way through the season.
As an Australian, it has always seemed odd to watch my team-mates prepare for their national championships half-way through June. For me, whose Nationals are held during the 'off season', sandwiched between Christmas and the Tour Down Under and months before the first European race, it's hard to comprehend the possibility of lining up on the start line of a national championships with any resemblance of form. However, it would seem that's exactly what my team mates have done.
So far, only half-way through the week which makes up the large majority of national championships, Specialized lululemon can boast the new National Time Trial Champions of Canada, America, and the Netherlands along with numerous other medals in the time-trial and road races.
But what do the rest of us do when we have no national jerseys to fight it out for? Well for me it's almost become tradition to return to Girona – which during this nationals period turns from a bustling cycling hub of activity to a ghost town filled with Dutch tourists – and hit the roads for hours of monotonous kilometers before planting myself in front of the computer screen hitting 'refresh' every minute monitoring cyclingnews.com for the latest nationals results.
Other Australian's take the break in racing as an opportunity to come up for fresh air after generally going 'full gas' since as early as January and treat themselves to a mid-season holiday – think theme parks, beaches and futile attempts to even out tan lines. While more still go in search of the sun and head upwards, literally. Heading to high altitude cycling meccas such a Livingo, Stelvio or Sierra Nevada.
This year however hasn't seen me do any of these things. While my team mates shipped off as did I, and I even had some company.
June may be the month of National Championships but July is the month of the Olympics and while most countries are waiting for their nationals to be run and won before they announced the squads that will be representing them in London the Australian women's road team has already started some 'team bonding' activities.
A little over a week ago Amanda Spratt, Shara Gillow and myself jumped on a plane to London for a little bit of 'recon'. And while we were really testing out the accommodations for the Australian road team (I'm not joking – we went to the same hotel we will stay at during the games so as to time how long it takes to get from 'A' to 'B', how long the food takes to come out when ordered and how reliable the laundry is) we did manage to get a bit of riding in on the now (in)famous course.
By the end of our time there we'd clocked up more laps around the Box Hill circuit than we could probably race in a four day tour let alone a one day race, Spratty was well and truly over dragging me up every hill and we'd heard more hilarious stories from past Olympics than I could possibly remember/
As far as worthwhile things to do while the Euro's are off racing, I'd put our trip to London right up there, although the reduction of tan-lines is still pretty high on my list. But for now, despite all the Olympic buzz and Nationals hype my eyes are firmly focused on the Giro which kicks off on the 30th – nine days of pain in scorching heat. Maybe that theme park holiday isn't such a bad idea after all?

Kevin Durant led Team USA in winning the FIBA World Championship for the first time since 1994. He led all scoring against Turkey with 28 points and was the obvious leader of Team USA. This FIBA USA team was known as the "B-Team" after the stars of the Olympic team did not return. No Kobe, no LeBron, no Wade…no problem. With Durant leading Team USA to a gold, people are now wondering, how good is Kevin Durant? ESPN has even been answering the question of whether he now becomes the best player in the world. My answer to this…Yes!

Winds: Calm
I'm Jack Smith, CPA, your county commissioner, asking for your vote in the July 20 primary. I discussed my record last week and referred you to the county annual reports for more details. I stand on that record, capped by a $6 million reduction in the county budget and a $5 million increase in cash reserves in just three years. Read More»
Incumbent Commissioner Jack Smith is getting very worried. People are not going to take accusations without supporting evidence anymore.
Hard-working people in Fayette County have watched as our county-level governments have built expensive schools (some empty, others around 60 percent empty) while they cut teachers' pay and reduced the services. Read More»
Remember in November 2008 when Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said never let a good crisis go to waste? The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is a crisis the Obama administration could have only dreamed of. Why?
The oil spill has given the liberals just the excuse they need to "starve this country of domestically produced oil." The longer oil spills into the Gulf, the longer the president can use the crisis to gain support for his $1 trillion energy policy. Read More»
For the record, I want to say that County Commissioner Jack Smith's bullet point in his newspaper piece about Steve Brown not being active in any civic efforts to better our community or metro Atlanta is not true. Anyone who knows Steve will tell you the same thing. Read More»
I am Hollis Harris. My family and I moved to Peachtree City in March 1969. I worked for Delta Airlines at that time. I and many other airline people from Delta, Eastern, Southern and Northwest encouraged airline people to move to Peachtree City. The majority of the airline people are well educated and they got involved in the school system as the city and county grew. Read More»
When I moved to PTC in 2003, Mayor Brown was running for a second term. The letters in the paper from the developer crowd made me think he was not a very capable mayor, and did little right. Boy, was I wrong!
The special interest group prevailed, the mayor lost, and the city continues to suffer from it. Going forward I personally will form my own opinion by checking each candidate for their honesty and principles. Say what you mean and do what you say. The election for commissioner gives each of us a chance to check out each candidate and draw our own conclusion.

The best criteria for a candidate seeking public office should be the same criteria to use for a candidate to run a successful business: i.e.; their history of accomplishing established objectives while maintaining a balanced budget.
If successful at their jobs, the candidate for either position is a good manager. A good "manager" talks with, listens to, and responds to their customers by meeting their needs and/or solving their problems. Read More»
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners (BOC) has just completed the annual budget process. Every year, for the three years that I have been a commissioner, the board has established certain guidelines for the various county departments. Two years ago the BOC implemented a cost-savings plan that included no new employee positions, no promotions, no raises and all current positions were frozen with the exception of public safety (i.e., Sheriff's Office, Fire and Emergency Services, 911 Center and Marshal's Office).

I was very surprised by Commissioner Jack Smith's letter in The Citizen on June 16. Right off the bat, he said that a vote for him "is a vote for sanity in managing your tax resources." Exactly what definition of "sanity" is he using to describe his actions?
This is the same guy who is building a $50 million road to nowhere with our limited resources (Georgia and federal highway departments found it did not score high enough and was too expensive). Read More»
I get an eerie feeling when Fayette Commissioner Jack Smith tries so hard to convince everyone he's upstanding and ethical. Board of Education Chairman Terri Smith tried her best to assure people that she could do no wrong, too. Look at what happened to Terri Smith, getting caught with her hands in the cookie jar by not disclosing almost $13 million worth of real estate she owned as required by state law. Read More»
