Park Community Free School announces temporary Morden location for Autumn term
Updated 9:11am Monday 2nd June 2014 in News By Louisa Clarence-Smith, Reporter
A new free school which has struggled to find a site in time for September has announced a temporary location for the Autumn term.
Park Community School will open two reception classes at 21 Crown Lane, Morden, in September.
The site, owned by the Salvation Army, is a short walk from where the school will be permanently housed, Tyndale House in Dorset Road, in 2015.
Rachel Jacob, executive principle of Park Community School, said: "I'm thrilled that we now have a site for September.
"I'm aware that parents have been keen to know where the school will be based for the first year before we move into Tyndale House permanently and the EFA have worked very hard to secure us a suitable site close to our permanent home."
Chapel Street Community Schools Trust, which runs the school, formerly said it could not guarantee the much-needed primary school places for 2014.
Earlier this month the council announced two additional classes at Raynes Park primary schools after a shortfall saw 76 children fail to be offered a place within the borough.
The places will be at Joseph Hood Primary in Whatley Avenue and West Wimbledon Primary in Bodnant Gardens.

Public Urination
Original post made by Just Thinking Out Loud on Mar 2, 2007
I hope not, but it would be uneven enforcement if not.
on Mar 2, 2007 at 3:10 pm
The article says
"It was discovered Wednesday after 6 p.m. by a man who pulled over to relieve himself,"
which only documents intent, so maybe he is only guilty of
Intent to commit Public Urination.
I'm sure he would be relieved to find his time in any penile institution would pass very quickly. ;^)

I listen to 1590 on the AM. They did a segment on sex offenders recently, talking about the need to track them. The woman they were interviewing complained that too many offenses get lumped into the "sexual offender" pile and the system does not track the differences. She said someone who is arrested for urinating in public gets the same treatment as a violent rapist.
I really don't consider this to be a laughing matter. Apparently, if that was correct, his life could be ruined.
on Mar 2, 2007 at 3:48 pm
You are right. It is a shame that crime leaked out in public. ;^)

PEORIA, Ill. -- The head of METEC, a local housing counseling agency, says there needs to be more collaboration with Peoria city officials to keep foreclosures down in the river city.
One major issue is people who need the help the most are not showing up.
64-year-old Murion Burse's wife Jeanette passed away last year after a brief illness leaving the retiree with one social security check instead of two to pay the monthly mortgage. The retired truck driver fell behind on his house payments.
"I didn't expect to be in the position that I was in, I hadn't planned to be. I was too busy planning businesses. I went through my 401K, my IRA's trying to go back to school, burnt up my savings pretty good," said Burse.
Burse said his mortgage company told him about METEC, a housing counseling resource agency that works to help residents facing foreclosure.
METEC Executive Director Cheryll Boswell said even though the economy may be recovering there are still too many people in Peoria's south side, like Murion Burse, facing foreclosure.
"We have over 180 people so far this year that have sought our services for foreclosures. Now we are seeing some stabilization there but there still is a need to address the foreclosures that are going on in Peoria," said Boswell.
According to figures from the Peoria County Recorder of Deeds, there were 906 foreclosures in Peoria's south side between 2010 and 2012.
During that same time, there were 472 foreclosures in central Peoria.
Peoria Community Development Director Ross Black said the city is aware of the problem but said shrinking federal dollars have reduced the annual housing and urban development grant by $500,000.
"It certainly is an area that needs a lot of attention but so are other areas of the city, the East Bluff, the West Bluff the near North Side," said Black. "Does a million dollars make a difference? It makes a difference for the property owner or someone who doesn't have heat in the middle of the winter."
Boswell said even though the south side was hardest hit by foreclosures, many of the people who sought help were from outside of the city.
She is concerned that people are not getting the word about programs. Murion Burse said he would have found METEC even if he had to do so himself.
"It's a worthwhile program. The past eight years have proven to people it doesn't matter how much money you make, you'll end up dead broke tomorrow morning. We don't have control over our circumstances," said Burse.
For more information on the foreclosure counseling program call (309) 676-3832 or follow the link above.

Giving back to a woman in need this spring can be as simple as getting a haircut in time for Mother's Day. Hair Cuttery is honored to team up with The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV), the leading voice for domestic violence victims and their advocates, for its spring Share-A-Haircut program. On May 5th – 6th, every time an adult receives a haircut at any of the Hair Cuttery salons in New England, including the salon in Stoughton, a haircut will be donated, through NNEDV, to a woman living in a domestic violence shelter in the local community.
In its 15th year, Share-A-Haircut has benefited three-quarters of a million people. Originally, the program benefited children in need, but it has grown to help people of all ages. Earlier this year, 50,000 free haircut certificates, valued at $900,000, were donated to men, women and children across the U.S. in homeless situations. This May, Hair Cuttery intends to continue its high volume of giving, with a goal of reaching more than 25,000 women in local communities, and through the program, help inspire a fresh outlook.
"At Hair Cuttery, we've seen firsthand the positive impact a haircut can have on an individual," said Dennis Ratner, Founder and CEO of Hair Cuttery. "Shelters play a critical role in helping women around the country rebuild their lives and we're honored to be a part of that journey."

It was welcome news earlier this year that there would be plenty of flu shots to go around. No one could predict that a big batch of the stuff might be contaminated.
That is exactly what happened to a British company that was supposed to stock the U.S. with about 47 million doses this season. The British government has suspended the license of that company, Chiron, to stop it from making any more vaccines until it meets sterility guidelines.
Lubbock County didn't order vaccines from Chiron, but that doesn't matter. Lubbock and cities everywhere are now forced to conserve the supply to make up for this unexpected shortage from Chiron.
The Lubbock Health Department tells us they've only received a portion of their order this year and now, the remaining order, about 2,200 vaccines, is on hold. The bottom line is the health department is only offering flu vaccines right now to high risk children and adults.
For more information, you can call the health department at (806) 775-2933.

Computer Science personal statement
From an early age I've always been deeply interested in computing. It was my dad, introducing me to the computer systems at his work place that first sparked this interest. I can always remember the feeling of wanting to know just how computers worked, why they worked and what else they could do.
This interest never left me, only growing more profound and passionate with every new discovery I made. From communicating with an artificial intelligence to seeing the wonders of the Internet for the first time, computers have left me fascinated with just how much power yet mystery they hold.
The A-Levels I chose to study have all helped me to develop both myself and my understanding of the subject. Physics for example has helped me to understand how certain parts of a computer function, while Computing has given me a greater insight into the business aspects of the computer industry.
Chemistry and Physics have both helped to improve my analytical and evaluative skills. Within maths I have been lucky enough to have a teacher who was very interested in computer science. He has been especially helpful, lending me books such as Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid. This has given me an insight into the richness that is computer science.
My interest in computing has not been restricted to the classroom and college life. Within the last twelve months I've used the knowledge that I've gained over the past twelve years together with the help of my family to set up my own computer related business. This has given me a totally new perspective on how certain things function, and how business operates. The writing of a business plan was a totally alien experience for me, but over the course of 9 months I researched and planned, and finally when the plan was complete I was rewarded with the satisfaction of knowing that I had completed something that most people would never have the chance to do especially at my age.
Through the setting up of the company and its subsequent running I have learnt many things. These include how to balance tasks effectively, how critical teamwork can be and how to delegate tasks to get the job done quickly and efficiently.
As well as spending time both studying and helping to run the business I understand the importance of having time to relax. One of my hobbies that I try to make time for is learning to fly, and gaining my private pilots license. As a child I dreamed of becoming a pilot and luckily its one dream that I've managed to follow. I love the freedom that flying gives you and the control that you have when in the air. Training for my private pilots license (PPL) has also involved me taking onboard a lot of responsibility for the safety of those onboard, and those around the aircraft. From ensuring that I carry out the pre-flight checks correctly, and knowing what's around you both while you're on the ground and in the air to ensuring that I'm prepared for any eventuality.
I also enjoy both playing and watching tennis. I've played in various competitions before, and have helped to umpire junior matches at my club. To ensure that I can fit everything in I've had to develop very good time management, prioritising what I need to do efficiently.
I'm looking forward with great anticipation to the challenges that studying for a degree in computer science will bring.

a good profile but have you READ the books you mention and also elaborate more on Maths - it's very crucial to your Computer Science degree. Why Comp Sci not SW Engineering or Comp Games, what do you hope to learn?
I just graduted from a Comp Si degree and your PS covers waay more than I did. Ignore the comment above adding more academi will make your PS seem too rehearsed. It is lear you have a passion for computing that is all the admissions officers are looking for.

Sentences are too attenuated...Grammatical reconstruction is required...In other words, some sentences are too long and muddled. They can confuse the reader. Just my 2 cents...BLE$$.

I ahve no idea what computer science is but, i dont think i'll do well at it becasue i do not no what it is. HOw long did it take you, did you use a dictionary?
Does it really have to be that loooooooonnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggg?????
Comment by guest at 02/03/2007 23:43:23
overall this is good, although the first paragraph leaves a lot to be desired. the first line is grammatically incorrect, and the following two are clumsy. i can see why cambridge wouldn't have liked this.
first impressions are key with a personal statement, it is very like an interview in this respect.
red flags by guest at 14/03/2007 19:25:19
The lack of details raises red flags for me; I've no idea what business this student initiated, don't know his father's job, or the name of the very helpful teacher.
Comment by guest at 08/05/2007 15:05:51
wel..this is how it goes..pretty average..nahin to special...cud rite better in my sleep son..get ur act together and show me that u have general interest inthis subject and that u didnt copy this from a book or a sheet which ur careers advisor probably gave u!

Horrible by guest at 16/08/2007 20:37:52
This is horrible. Do you people read admissions websites. This will get rejected. They don't care about your past when you were a little boy. They want to hear about your college years. Every sentence should mean something, and this was just a bunch of bologna.

sounds too forced and tries hard to be the stereotypical computing essay. lacks depth. a person who wasn't doing computing a levels or knows nothing about it could have written the same kind of essay.

It does sound impressive. Yet at the same time it lacks computer science, which involves a lot of maths. It sounds like you're applying for a course involving computer engineering

not so long by guest at 14/02/2012 11:08:26
You are obviously interested in the subject area, but you could have done it much more concisely.
With 100's of application to read, admissions aren't looking for your life's history. A short and to the point statement will work as well if not better.

Competent but standard, bland and boring. Admissions tutors receive hundreds of applications like this daily and this does not stand out from the crowd at all. It is, in fact, more of an archetype for a run of the mill application, encapsulating everything that everyone else will have included in theirs. Small wonder Cambridge declined you. You must be different.

After months of hype and declining relevance, as well as weeks of non-stop commercials ripe with catch phrases, Comedy Central finally aired the Roast of Charlie Sheen last night. If you're the type of person who likes to have jokes spoiled for you, then there's a good chance that you already read one of the hundreds of sites that revealed most of the jokes from the live show last week. But since I like a joke's entertainment value, I held off from the spoilers and watched the show with a fresh mind.
The roast was pretty standard, in that the usual suspects – Jeffrey Ross, Patrice O'Neal, Anthony Jeselnik – were hilarious, the roast master (Seth MacFarlane) was solid, the sassy female comic (Amy Schumer standing in for Lisa Lampanelli and Whitney Cummings) was hilarious, and the special celebrity guests (Mike Tyson, Steve-O and Kate Walsh) proved that not everyone can be a stand-up comic. But the most important person of the event, Sheen, was a good sport and brought the perfect amount of arrogance and crazy to the table (although I would argue that watching his humble presentation at the Emmys sort of buried the momentum).
It certainly wasn't the best roast, especially since there is still no replacement for Greg Giraldo (sorry, Jeselnik but we appreciate your effort), but it definitely had its moments (including Schumer's "too soon" Ryan Dunn joke that Steve-O clearly didn't appreciate and Steve-O maiming his face with Tyson's hand). Without further ado, on to the best jokes of the evening…
I want more like this!

A Selma child is recovering from injuries sustained in an alleged act of child abuse after authorities say his step-father body-slammed him and then punched him in the face.
The step-father, identified as 40-year-old Erick Theopolis Banks, was arrested on probable cause for Aggravated Child Abuse.
The 12-year-old was taken to Vaughan Regional Hospital where doctors determined he had a ruptured left eardrum as the result of blunt force trauma to the head.
Investigators were called to the 1400 block of Union Street Wednesday, just before noon, where they spoke with several of the victim's relatives, including the child's mother, Patricia Smith. Investigators say Smith was uncooperative.
According to police, the child and his siblings were wrestling each other at a home on Oliver Street with Smith returned home. Her attempts at disciplining the boy were unsuccessful, so authorities say she requested help from Banks.
The victim told police the man picked him up and slammed him on the ground and then punched him in the side of the face, striking his ear. Police say the man, "took the punishment into the realm of assaulting the child."
Following the doctors' evaluation, police officers questioned both Banks and Smith at the Selma Police Department
Banks was later charged and transported to the Dallas County Jail where he's being held on a $250,000 bond.
The Department of Human Resources has temporarily removed the victim and his siblings from the home and their mother's custody. There are currently no charges against the mother.

Jul 1, 2013This show isn't a really bad show, but I can not get myself to give it many points because ultimately it gives a sad example of how picky a lot of people have become. People are taught that nothing but the perfect partner is good enough for them and that you need to feel this magic 'spark' to connect. Even if you hardly know someone. This is what people have been spoon fed for decades.
When it is dark they often feel a connection, but when ultimate moment in the show comes and the people see their candidate of choice, the final decision is often based on the exterior of the person. He is too young. She is too fat. He misses that manly jawline. She is black-haired.
The only good thing about this is that those people will hopefully never get any kids and thus remove themselves from the gene-pool.

Walking down the hallway near his corner office at the New Hampshire Statehouse, Gov. John Lynch says he has mixed feelings. After serving eight years-- more than any other elected governor in the state-- Lynch says he feels a little sad having to say goodbye.
"I really do appreciate the trust that the people of New Hampshire have placed in me," Lynch said. "I am so honored to have served as governor for eight years. I have loved the job. And hopefully I have made a positive difference."
To find that difference, you don't have to look very far. The walls of Lynch's office are adorned not with pictures of dignitaries as one might think, but rather keepsakes from countless children. A fitting reminder that during his four terms in office, education has been a main focus.
"At a time where high high school dropout rates were literally of epidemic proportions in other states, which is what they are, we have reduced our high school dropout rate to a remarkably low 1 percent," Lynch said.
Unlike past governors who tried and failed, Lynch was able to raise the state's dropout age from 16 to18. He says he did it by reaching across the aisle. Not just under the golden dome, but outside its walls, as well.
"It is not just legislators but it is also talking with superintendents, school board members, principals, teachers and get them to understand why it is so important. Eventually, success had to do with them at the local level embracing the program," Lynch said.
But when it comes to education, a contentious topic in the Granite State that's paid for primarily through property taxes, Lynch was not always successful.
"I wanted an amendment that will affirm the state's responsibility for public education, but at the same time allow the state to spend more money on the communities and children who needed it more than others," Lynch said.
The amendment never passed. Lynch says he's leaving office with no regrets, but when it comes to education funding more work needs to be done.
"There were those who wanted an amendment to allow the state to walk away from its responsibilities for public education if the Legislature so chose," he said.
The back and forth battle at the Statehouse was inflamed during Lynch's fourth and final term. Republicans controlled both bodies in Concord with an agenda focused, in part, on repealing the state's gay marriage law. Lynch signed the gay marriage bill into law during his third term and vowed to veto any repeal bill. However, multiple attempts to pass repeal legislation were unsuccessful. He calls it a difficult couple of years.
"The House leadership has refused to have regular meetings," Lynch said. "They have not wanted to communicate either with me as governor or with the Senate. In some cases, they haven't wanted to communicate with Republicans in their own caucus."
At times, Lynch's approval rating while in office has been upward of 70 percent-- one of the highest in the nation. But being popular among voters does not always translate to smooth sailing at the state capitol.
"The other thing that was missing here during the last few years, that was primarily driven by House leadership, was civility," Lynch said. "People want us to work together. They want us to be civil in our discourse."
During the last election the balance of power in New Hampshire, at least in the House, shifted back to the Democrats, which in some ways, affirms Lynch's intentions of leaving partisan politics at the door.
"Most of the voters are in the middle," he said. "They want us to be centrist in our approach and be balanced in the way we govern."
And from that he offers advice to his successor, Governor-elect Maggie Hassan, a Democrat who Lynch worked closely with while she served in the state Senate.
"The advice that I would give to Governor-elect Hassan is the same advice I tried to follow myself: Put partisan politics to one side, work with both parties and work together to solve problems," Lynch said.
As for after he leaves office, Lynch says you may find him in a classroom teaching students about what it is like to be an executive of both the private and public sector in what he calls the great state of New Hampshire.
Gov. Lynch's last day on the job is Jan. 3.

In 2012 alone Augusta's Ronald McDonald House gave more than 600 families a place to stay while their child was receiving critical medical care. Sadly they had to turn away over 200 families because their current facility simply isn't big enough. That is going to change soon. Betts Murdison, the President and CEO of the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Augusta, shares with The Means Report viewers exciting details on their new facility that will not only be bigger, but will let families be even closer to their loved ones in the hospital.
You can help build the new Ronald McDonald House by making a donation or signing up for the "Birdies Fore the House" campaign.

American Indian Law
Call Number: 26643
Course Number: 6700-01
Professor: Debra L. Donahue
Credit Hours & Type of Credit: 3
Semester Offered: Fall
Required: No
Prerequisites: Students must have completed their first year of law school.
Recommended Courses: None
Course Overview: This course surveys the law that applies to Native Americans and tribal governments. The course deals primarily with federal law because of the unique relationship between the federal government and tribes, which are sovereign entities, and because federal law affects or governs most Native American activities. The main issues are jurisdictional; that is, they concern the allocation of legislative (or regulatory) and judicial (both civil and criminal) jurisdiction among federal, tribal, and state governments. History has played a crucial role in the evolution of federal Indian Law and is a prominent consideration in the course. We will also examine how Congress and the Supreme Court have molded the law in this area. Other topics include: family law, hunting and fishing, taxation, gaming, and protection of natural resources and the environment on tribal lands.
Course Materials: See the current Book List located under Courses and Curriculum.
Course Format: Lecture and discussion.
Written Assignments: None
Type of Exam: Open book final exam.
Basis for Grading Student Performance: Student performance will be assessed on the final exam and class participation.
Other Comments: Elements of Indian law are intertwined with several core subjects, including constitutional law, property law, civil procedure, and contract law. In addition, Indian law issues overlap issues arising in other areas, including water, environmental, and public lands law. This course should be of special value to any student who plans to practice in Wyoming or the West, where most Indian country is located. Students interested in business, natural resources development, environmental protection, constitutional law, family law, judicial activism, ethics, and history should find all or portions of the materials fascinating.

The Tarmac specs: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/...2&menuItemId=0
CAAD10-4: http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/road...aad-10-4-rival
I've done some test rides, but have been limited on distance by the free time I can get to bike shops. I've narrowed it down to the above two bikes - each would get the same wheelset (Mavic Kysrium Elite). Both bikes felt really good to me, though I am coming off a 2001 Cannondale R400. For the 30 minute rides am on, both feel miles above my current bike. I don't think either bike will disappoint me, but am trying to figure out which is the better choice. It is difficult to stack them since they are at different shops, and given my schedule I have to test ride them on different days.
Assume they are the same price - I'm looking for a bike to bike comparison.
Background on me: I am 32, 6', 165 pounds.
Background on my riding: Weekday rides are short maybe 20 miles once or twice a week. On the weekends Ill usually get in two rides with longer climbs (Im regularly in NY, CT, and VT) each ride is around 30-60 miles averaging ~1,000 feet of climbing per 10 miles (usually packed into sustained climbing versus rolling terrain). I do one (flat) century per year.
The big comparison points to me are all carbon versus carbon/aluminum mix, and the Ultegra versus Rival group. My current bike has Shimano Sora, so either is a a step up and a different shifting style. I kind of liked the SRAM shifting, the option to drop multiple gears in one motion was nice, and it was quick on upshifting, too. The Ultegra was also nice, perhaps requiring a little more force to shift from what I could recall.
Since I couldn't really gauge it well, which should be the more efficient bike, or is it a negligible difference? I've heard points in the CAAD10's favor are the BB30 and the stiffness of aluminum. Perhaps the Tarmac is a little "smoother" over road vibration and less fatiguing?
The caveat for the Cannondale is that the shop said the seat was a little too far back and they would get a zero setback seatpost to swap in to compare for a different ride. It wasn't enough to bother me on a short test ride.
Any thoughts? Just pick based on paint job at this point?

The Red Cross shelter that was opened for families affected by a water outage in Coffee City has closed.
According to Bob Fisher with the Red Cross, no one was using the services so the shelter was closed around 2 a.m. on Monday.
Janice Hayes, spokesperson for Southwest Water Company/Monarch Utilities, said only 14 homes were affected by a water main break in the Monarch Utilities mainline in Coffee City on Sunday evening. It took crews a while to repair the break because it was located on a steep incline in a wooded area.
Repairs to the mainline have been completed and services should be restored to the 14 homes by noon on Monday

Dr. P. P. Job has been promoted to Glory. I was so honored to have known him for the last several years as man of God and as a true friend. Even though we got to know each other only for the last several years, there was a mysterious connection. Forty two years ago, Dr. Job visited Romania for the first time. He went there as a messenger of Richard Wurmbrand to visit and inquire about the underground and persecuted church. Because he was not from the West but from India he was allowed to enter one of the most draconically controlled countries. It was the year I was born in Romania. Later on, when the communist regime fell in 1989 and Richard Wurmbrand visited Romania for the first time after he was expelled from the country, I was the … Read More »

Whether you're avidly on the sticks every fall, or couldn't care less, it's impossible to deny that the yearly release of Madden is as much a part of the yearly football landscape as anything we have.
Last year the Carolina Panthers started atrociously. Thankfully the advent of online play, and roster patching has meant that the rating structure is fluid, but because of excellent performance the Panthers drastically improved their stock over the 2012 season. Now with a 6-10 team on the upswing, it would seem Carolina were due for a little more love. Did they get it?
Carolina Panthers- Overall grade 79 (12th in the NFC, tied 24th overall)
This is a fair ranking for a 6-10 team. We may think they're much better than that, but remember the overall ranking is calculated from the starters AND the depth. It's that second part, depth, which hurts the Panthers.
More after the jump
Key Players
Steve Smith- 95 overall (#4 rated WR overall)
Jon Beason- 93 overall (#4 rated MLB overall)
Jordan Gross- 93 overall (#4 rated LT overall)
Ryan Kalil- 93 overall (#2 rated C overall)
Charles Johnson- 91 overall (t-11th rated DE overall)
Cam Newton- 89 overall (t-10th rated QB overall)
Mike Tolbert- 89 overall (t-3rd rated FB overall)
DeAngelo Williams- 84 overall (t-19th rated RB overall)
Jonathan Stewart- 84 overall (t-19th rated RB overall)
I think these rankings are really fair, with the exception of Double Trouble. I understand why for balance purposes they tweak the overall ratings, but having them below Beanie Wells (85 overall), Willis MaGahee (85 overall), and Rashard Mendenhall (86 overall) is ludicrous. Thankfully they'll get a bump when the season starts, and they run over people again.
Williams/Stewart's ranking is an unfair reflection on them sharing the load. Statistically and box-score wise it's too easy to knock them, but their YPC is still high even through lack of use. I know this is art attempting to immitate life, but they were definitely unfairly treated.
The rookies
Luke Kuechly- 81 overall
Amini Silatolu- 73 overall
Frank Alexander- 63 overall
Joe Adams- 63 overall
Josh Norman- 67 overall
Brad Nortman- 57 overall (sorry BW)
D.J. Campbell- 62 overall
These seem pretty fair. Kuechly's 81 puts him as the tied 20th rated ROLB in the game, which is pretty impressive for a rookie. As a comparison Andrew Luck is an 84 overall, and RGIII is 83 overall– so EA have faith in Kuechly.

Requires Adobe Flash
Fort Myers, FL – Billy Phillips threw another great game and the Eagle bats were hot all game as FGCU downed Caldwell College 10-0. The Eagles are now 21-10 on the season. FGCU came out swinging in the first to jump ahead 3-0. Right fielder Travis Cunningham led off the inning with a sharp single to right. Shortstop Rene Ruiz bunted him over to second and catcher Jason Cooper scored him with a single to right center. Third baseman Chris Brown then drove in Cooper with a deep double off the left field wall. After Center fielder Mike Howard walked, Second baseman Kip Perry drove Brown in with a single through the left side to make the score 3-0. In the bottom of the fourth the Eagles added three more runs. The big hit was a two run homer that was smoked just inside the left field foul pole by Mike Howard to make the score 7-0. The Eagles would go on to add three more in the bottom of the fifth for the final score of 10-0. Junior Billy Phillips got his sixth quality start in seven chances to go to 5-1 on the season. The ace of the Eagles staff threw six innings and gave up no runs on only two hits while striking out seven. Mike Howard led the Eagles offensively with a big day at the plate. He finished 2 for 3 with two runs scored and three runs batted in. Also having a strong game were Jason Cooper and Rene Ruiz. Cooper was also 2 for 3 with two runs scored and three runs batted in and Ruiz had three hits and two runs scored. The Eagles (21-10) will play Friday vs. Teikyo Post starting at 3:00 pm.

Crisis of Jamaica's missing children
Heart to Heart
Dear Reader,
The announcement last week by Minister of Local Government Noel Arscott that the Ananda Alert system is to be moved to the Ministry of Youth, and specifically to the Child Development Agency (CDA), has, intentionally or not, brought to the fore the crisis of missing children and the levels of intervention that are required to address the problem.
While it makes a lot of sense to place the programme under the youth umbrella, it is important to point out that the problem with the Ananda Alert, since its inception three years ago, was never a problem of location. It was, and still is, a problem of an inexcusable lack of commitment and resources.
In fact, the housing of the Ananda Alert, under the then Department of Local Government, was deliberately designed to galvanise the "on the ground" mechanisms and networks necessary for search and rescue of missing and abducted children. The plan was that the new rapid response system would be driven by the parish councils, thereby triggering support and action from citizens and communities islandwide. Having announced the shift, Minister Arscott must now tell the Jamaican public if that particular objective has changed and how exactly will the CDA be able to deliver that level of local support across constituencies.
It is common knowledge that the CDA is already overstretched and overburdened and is itself in need of additional resources, both human and financial. In addition to the mammoth mandate of administrative oversight, investigation, and rehabilitation - and more, of all matters relating to children, it is the receptacle for reports and referrals from the Office of the Children's Registry (OCR) and to a lesser degree reports from the Office of the Children's Advocate (OCA). In other words, every complaint that reaches the OCR is also reported and followed up by the CDA.
Given those realities, the government will have to explain exactly how the additional responsibility of the Ananda Alert will be subsumed and managed by the CDA.
I'm not sure that Minister Arscott knows or appreciates the seriousness of the crisis of missing children, given that he's been in the job for only six months. On an average, 150 children go missing every month in Jamaica. Some months the figure is closer to 200, and whilst approximately 80 per cent of that number return home, there are children who have never been seen again - month after month, and year after year. There are children who have been missing for years without suspects or investigations.
The case of 14-year-old Jhaneel Goulbourne exemplifies the severe nature of the problem. Jhaneel was allegedly abducted four years ago. Though it is surmised that she was the victim of foul play, Jhaneel's body has not been found. As a consequence she remains on the missing persons' list.
The attendant problems are equally bizarre. Most of the children who go missing are involved in sexual activity, both forced and unforced. Legally of course, the latter is irrelevant when it involves any child under the age of 16 years, but the psychosocial impact is nevertheless profound. Some of the missing children cases handled by Hear The Children's Cry involve gang rapes, pregnancies and contraction of sexually transmitted infections. Almost all of them involve trauma presenting itself in one form or another.
In one gruesome case, the 15-year-old girl who had been reported missing was buried in a pauper's grave before her mother even knew that her badly decomposed body had been found. The emotional ramifications of that particular case on the mother as well those close to the family are deep and long-lasting.
One of the unspoken consequences of the crisis of missing children is its impact on the educational life of the victims. Children who go missing don't attend school for the time they are away from home. Equally disturbing are reports that some of the children who return are being denied re-entry into the formal school system. Negative short and long-term social effects of this type of problem will continue to plague a country already characterised by under-education and the associated problems of crime, teenage pregnancy and other serious dysfunctions.
The epidemic of missing children requires a stand-alone, investigative unit equipped with adequate staffing and wide-reaching capacities - internal and external, the latter being critical in tackling the problem of child trafficking. To simply announce a shift in location is definitely not good enough, given the scope of work required.
For the Ananda Alert to function effectively and efficiently, it is going to require significant resources and structural mechanisms that clearly cannot be accommodated by the CDA in its present form.
While the move to the CDA is welcomed from a purely child-focused point of view, the magnitude of the crisis of missing and abducted children is much more than geography. It is going to require commitment, collaboration and creativity, but most of all, it will need the commensurate financial and material input from government and the private sector, if it is to have any semblance of viability.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't been there myself, but this morning when my 6 a.m. alarm went off, I didn't jump in the shower -- I put on some running shoes, bundled up (it was 50* after all!!), and went
A few days ago, I mentioned to C (who's been running on his own for over a year now) that I may want to join him. And I thought it may be something we could do in the mornings to jump start our day. Plus, it'd be a "couples" thing that didn't include sitting, watching TV, or eating (our 3 favorite things to do, naturally).
Surprisingly, he not only said yes, but was actually excited about the idea.
So this morning, I moaned and shivered and slowly made my way outside, where I ran exactly .9 miles in 14 minutes. Not exactly recording breaking - or honestly even sweat breaking - but it felt good. And it was something.
It's easy to fall into a "comfy" rhythm when it gets cold. Staying bundled up, warm, on the couch, cuddling with the one that you love while drinking hot chocolate. And while I plan on doing a ton of that too, I wanted to make sure that what we did as a couple was something we'd look back & be proud of.
Running together just made sense. And I can't wait to get back out there tomorrow with him!
Day one is complete!

Pensioner tries to put out fire in neighbour's flat
12:27pm Thursday 30th January 2014 in News
AN ELDERLY resident was treated for the effects of inhaling smoke after trying to help put out a fire.
Firefighters were called to a residential home at Sutherland Court, Chandler's Ford, where people live independently, run by First Wessex, where a resident had a chip pan fire in her kitchen.
A 75-year-old woman treated afterwards had gone in to the flat to help her neighbour.
A crew from Eastleigh attended but found the fire was out on arrival, but had caused some damage to the wall, and used fans to ventilate the kitchen and the corridor of smoke.
They gave the woman oxygen at the scene as she was suffering from smoke inhalation but she did not have to go to hospital following the incident, which happened shortly after 6pm on Wednesday.

DANVILLE — Ruler Foods is the latest business to receive city economic development funding for its renovations.
The discount supermarket, a subsidiary of Kroger Co., is going into the former Save-A-Lot store space at Main and Griffin streets, north of Dollar General.
The grocery store is expected to open early next year.
To help with purchasing refrigeration, cold storage and other equipment and fixtures, the city is providing Kroger Co. $225,000 in funding.
The Kroger Co. is one of the worlds' largest grocery retailers, with fiscal 2011 sales of $90.4 billion. Kroger's Family of Stores spans many states with store formats that include grocery and multi-department stores, discount, convenience stores and jewelry stores.
Also for the project, Danville Public Development Director John Heckler said $30,000 is coming from the city's revolving loan fund.
The remaining $195,000 is coming from the city's Community Development Block Grant funding earmarked for economic development projects.
Danville Neighborhood Development Manager John Dreher said these types of projects and any city assistance are "always initiated by way through Vermilion Advantage."
The city earmarks a certain amount of money each year for economic development projects. The money can be used for acquisition of land, construction, infrastructure such as roadway or sewer work, tools and machinery, inventory and other renovations.
In the Ruler Foods case, with an empty building, the funding is assisting with putting in refrigerated food storage which can cost a couple hundred thousand dollars, Dreher said.
Dreher said the $30,000 from the revolving loan fund is a "forgivable loan."
The revolving loan fund has been around in the city for about 30 years.
The program would involve low-interest loans for business renovations and help businesses get established, or assist established small businesses in growing their business, with payments returned to the city.
In recent years with rock-bottom interest rates and business people saying they can't pay the money back, the city has given out the "forgivable loans," Dreher said.
"The revolving loan fund has been dwindling," he added. "In all fairness, it re-circulated for 30 years."
As for the city's CDBG funding allocated for economic development projects, on any given year there can be money left over.
In 2008, the city had $326,350 in CDBG money for economic development projects.
Funding was used for pedestrian sidewalk improvements downtown on Hazel Street and also a Systrand Presta project received $75,000 for equipment. Other businesses benefiting from CDGB economic development funding since 2009 include: Illini Castings, Ecofit Inc., Towne Machine, T.h. Snyder for its relocation and HRW.
For HRW, 1850 E. Voorhees St., it received $175,000 in CDBG funding to assist with the initial purchase of product inventory.
The business' product is a high-quality milk replacement ingredient known as Cheese Meal used in feed for baby pigs. The $1.3 million investment was expected to employ up to 25 full-time employees within the first year of operation.
For the current 2012-2013 program year, the city started off with $280,000 in economic development CDBG funds.
Dreher said because the money was not moving a lot this year, $150,000 was transferred for demolitions of dilapidated buildings.
In exchange for the CDBG funding, agreements differ, but in general the business must build the facility/store and offer jobs. According to a formula of $15,000 in funding per job, for the $195,000 for Ruler Foods, the business should employ 13 people.
Dreher said some businesses can reach the jobs number in a few months, but for others it could take a year or two.

Dow's climbing speaks for itself, regardless of what anyone thinks about this thread. besides, this thread doesn't exist in a vacuum, historically there has been a lot of problems with link cams.
You guys should show a little more respect for Mr. Williams. After all, he's a full-time climber, as he points out every second or third sentence. And we all know how rare that is in this sport. Also, he makes big contributions to climbing. Mostly by going through guidebooks and climbing trade routes and spraying about them on Summit Post, while at the same time complaining constantly that there aren't any real climbers on that site (which I've heard he actually bought)--but never posting route beta on MP because, well, I guess a bunch of real climbers have beat him to it. And he's also been in the climbing mags. For falling something like 200 feet on a 5.8 when he was off-route and run-out. Not to mention the fact that he climbs in Utah AND Canada! Who among us can say the same? So, let's show him the respect he deserves.
I have to side with Austin here for the first time ever, that was a total dickhead comment about the 5.6 tic list, especially since I still have about 100 more classic 5.6s I want to do on top of the 100 I have ticked at the Gunks. The original post didnt make a ton of sense either, especially with no pics. The funny thing here is a large percentage of Gunks n00bs carry these link cams and love to spray about how great they are all day at the crag. I'd rather whip on some old Smiley cams I bought from China 17 years ago.
Nice thread Dow! I guess the happy, feely, "let's all stand around in a circle and tell each other just how awesome we are" folks at SP that swallow your bullshit on a daily basis don't post much on MP. I completely agree that Dow's "contributions" on that other site are a bunch of crap and this thread is just more mellow dramatic whining from the queen of the piss and moan crowd over at SP. I realize you've built yourself a hardman, know it all persona over there but you've failed to understand that no one else gives a rat's scrawny ass how big of a bad ass you've convinced yourself you are. You're screaming that the sky is falling and it turns out you broke a trigger wire and OP fixed it for free. To say thank you, you've decided to pretend like they failed to follow up with you and went ahead and got a 3 page thread of drama going by with holding the information that the only thing that broke on your cam was a TRIGGER WIRE! Not a fan of Link Cams or REI but I think the response you got from both was perfectly reasonable. Instead of trying to trash a companies name because your feelings got hurt, how's about you just check your damn voice mail? At this point I'd think a man of your stature and importance in the climbing world should realize that it's time to publicly apologize to both OP and REI for acting like an 8 year old hysterical school girl.
That was a celebratory nod to Ellenor returning, btw. Can't believe how long it took for us to notice the sequential posts and lack of coherence. Dow, I'm honestly totally lost. It IS funny that all this is over a trigger wire, and the over-the-top multiple site postings indicate that you need to invest in a bottle of wine and some Sisqo CDs so you can get laid and relax a bit. I have met Austin, and he seemed like a nice kid, though I *DID* meet that dirty little POS underneath a 5.6...which is a good route worth doing. You've aroused the inner gangster in that Utah white boy, hopefully everyone can put away the Mountain Meadows Mentality and not start picking parking lots to meet in. Where I got involved in all this I'm still kinda lost-were you saying that Rob+I should introduce you to some "real MP thuggs" sometime, or indicating that we were part of the fakery? You+I only met once, I'd say I was true to form: made your partner laugh satirizing the Vegas smarm committee and replaced some bolts. If I need to do some flexing and ranting or something, I guess I can make the commute, but ya gotta promise not to get aroused or anything creepy. Wait, where am I? What am I talking about? Yep, all this shit is way, WAY confusing. And for the record OP makes good gear even if the Links are pretty weird, REI is pretty great as far as evil corporations go, and I replace 10-12 BD trigger wires a year on average. That's what happens when you're a daily climber without a website. Finally, if I wasn't clear enough before, I got love for ya, Dow-this whole thread is really, really bizarre though.
I can't believe I wasted my time reading this thread. It should be removed on account of the fact that it falsely hints towards gross negligence on the part of Omega Pacific, and you need to read a page and a half of posts to discover this real truth. Most people probably aren't going to stick around long enough to learn that this was all about a trigger wire. Also, Dow, why do you feel it was necessary to say, "I am not Mormon, nor Canadian"? Would being either of those diminish the validity of your argument?
Really?!!! All this for broken trigger wires????? Iv been on routes where BD wires break and never got butt hurt about it.....also a little rediculous that omega was the one that explained what happened, and the OP was somehow ignorant to the people wanting clarification on what happened. I was hoping for some crazy story about the cam failing.....Bummer. Anywho, Link cams suck(IMO) Iv seen more "exploded" cams stuck than any other brand. But still if your going to bother posting about things, you might as well say what happened. Silly internet people.
I was going to say something, but then I realized I live in Arkansas for most of the year and Kansas for the rest so I don't know anything.
I better beef up on my whining if I ever want to be as badass as Dow...pro tip #1: not talking about a minor thing like a broken trigger wire during a vague rant about gear failure helps get more attention. beware though, if the entity you're criticizing gets a chance to oust you in public, you get laughed at by southern hick 5.6'ers like me. and everyone else. I feel like this thread was a good use of the last 10 minutes of my life, though. Good to know OP has good customer service :)
Geez loueez papa'cheeze! That was waaay entertaining.
junk, pure junk
I wanted to share my story of Link Cam failure. I was belaying my partner at the start of a sport route which began on a ledge up 25-30 feet. Due to the dangerous position and the height of the first bolt, my partner placed one of the larger link cams in a crack with questionable rock. He climbed a move or two, then a hand or foot hold broke, causing him to fall. The Link Cam failed to arrest his fall, and he ended up falling past the ledge I was belaying from. Upon inspection of the cam, the lobes had become inverted. The rock blew out where it had been placed. I'm assuming the cam failure was due to dynamic forces generated by the failure of the rock, and that if the rock had not failed the cams would not have inverted. Even so, I feel that the cam lobes should not have become inverted and I will never buy a Link Cam, and place partner's LC's with hesitation, if at all!
ive fallen on my links multiple times each ... the only time ive pulled one was after the 5th fall on a row on one ... course i had multiple pieces below as well ;) they are NOT beginner cams ... place em correctly and extend em

Perspective on the Individual: Student Survey
The following questions are to be answered thoughtfully and returned to the instructor by the date identified on the syllabus. Each day, you will be asked to share your thoughts on some of these questions. You are encouraged to answer them as honestly as possible; the more honest you can be with yourself, the easier you will find it to make connections between your experiences and those of the authors covered. These potential connections will be the guiding force behind the two assigned essays.
Because you are encouraged to complete this self-investigation, you will never be forced publicly to share a response if you feel it is too personal. Each question below is presented as simply as possible in boldface, but since they often require some explanation, you may see clarifications or different phrasings, though you do not have to consider these separate questions. Each of the numbered items below is considered one question, no matter how many different ways it is expressed, and each question should be answered in 50-75 words. These questions are meant to be wide open; if you feel a question needs to be manipulated to suit your experiences, do so. If you feel a question is too vague and unspecific, it is likely intended to be, and you are encouraged to interpret it however you choose.
1. What is your philosophy of life? What creed or motto do you live by? Consider a philosophy or creed as a simple statement, something which might be printed on a t-shirt or bumper sticker. Consider from where, when or whom this philosophy was generated—does it come from one of your experiences, or perhaps was it a byproduct of a relationship or life experience?
2. What is the hardest thing about being a person of your gender? Consider work, leisure, family, education, culture, etc. Where might you have experienced gender bias or favoritism?
3. What do you wish someone had told you about life (or one aspect of life like relationships, work, family, school, etc.) that you had to learn yourself? Consider times when you may have said, "I wish I knew then what I know now."
4. (A) If you were to die today (may God forbid), what would be written on your headstone by the person who would most likely be responsible for organizing your interment? Consider who this person is, and what he or she would have etched on your memorial stone. Keep in mind that you're de@d, so you have no choice or opinion in the matter. The etching must be from this other person's point of view. Consider that the stone has room for no more than 15 words.
(B) Likewise, if you were to die today (may God forbid), what would YOU write on your own headstone? Consider that this message would be an eternal symbol of who you are or wished to be. It might be something that all, some or very few of your survivors understand. The etching must be from your own point of view and must, as well, be no more than 15 words.
5. (A) What has been the
(B) What
has been the
(C) What
has been the
6. (A) Other than an immediate member of your family (parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle), what figure of authority (teacher, coach, clergy, employer) has had the greatest DIRECT influence on you and your life? Consider that "greatest" suggests "most profound," not necessarily "most enjoyable" or "most favorable." Who is this person whose pleasant or enjoyable behavior or attitude has had the best positive impact on you?
(B) Other than an immediate member of your family (parent, grandparent, aunt/uncle), what figure of authority (teacher, coach, clergy, employer) has had the greatest INDIRECT influence on you and your life? Unlike above, consider the individual whose bad, unpleasant or inappropriate behavior has provided you with the greatest opportunity for learning about yourself (i.e. someone whom you'd most like NOT to emulate or model).
7. If you knew you would lose all ability to communicate (spoken, written, and gestured), and you were given ten seconds to speak, to whom would you speak and what would you say? Consider that your chosen listener/audience can be as many or as few people as you desire, though you have to declare why this/these individual(s) are present. Keep in mind that you're not going to leave Earth after this one minute expires; you will just not be able to communicate to anyone at any time.
8. What role (if any) does God and/or spirituality play in your life? Consider the appropriate influences (or lack of influences) in your life and how these people/events have impacted you and your approach to any form or brand of religion.
9. Name three attainable goals currently on your list of things to do or accomplish. Consider as honestly as possible what makes something "attainable." It is not necessarily what you want or need to do; rather, it is what you will do.
10. What has been your greatest personal disappointment? What action, decision or behavior of yours are you least proud of? Don't concern yourself with what others may or may not find disappointing about you; this is completely your perspective of your actions.
11. What one word most accurately sums up your whole being? You might find it helpful to generate a list of potential words—even consider prioritizing them—but you must end with one word only and be able to explain why it has been selected over all others.
12. What has been your proudest personal accomplishment? Consider the road leading up to this accomplishment and whatever obstacles or burdens had to be overcome to satisfy this journey. As with question 10 above, don't concern yourself with how others may take pride in your work or deeds; this is completely your perspective of your actions.
13. What is your weakest personality trait? Consider that this question is not referring to any physical quality and is not necessarily something that others know about or have an opinion about.
14. If you had the opportunity, what would you change about your relationship with your parents? Consider one or both (or some other individual if "parent" is not applicable.) Assume for this question that many of us would not alter our past if given the chance because our past has made us who we are. Having acknowledged that, decide what you would change if you could.
FOR THE REMAINING QUESTIONS, consider that our world is composed of "binary opposites"—terms or concepts which are mutually exclusive of each other (i.e. good and evil, night and day, love and hate). For each of the following sets of binary opposites, identify which of the two opposites would most closely describe you. It is completely reasonable (and I think quite purposeful) that you can exhibit both qualities at different times of your life—even from one minute to the next. Having said that, decide which of the two you tend to exhibit more (even if "more" only means slightly more).
15. Emotional vs. Logical: Do you tend to respond to situations according to desires and intuition or according to intellect and practicality?
16. Spontaneous vs. Methodical: Are you more likely to do things without plan or schedule (moving through life from one minute to the next), or do you tend to thrive on outlines, organization and forethought (moving through with purpose and function)?
17. Collaboration vs. Independence: Are you happier and more effective working on tasks (educational, professional and/or personal) with one or more other people or do you tend to do your best work—and earn greater overall satisfaction—by working alone?
18. Book smarts vs. Street smarts: Is your behavior, in general, based more on formal study and examination or are your skills guided more by experience, practice, and mistakes?
19. Concrete vs. Abstract: Do you tend to see things in absolute terms (thriving on limits, specificity and exactness) or do you prefer a more subjective, interpretive approach which allows room for individuality?
20. Proactive vs. Reactive: Are most of your actions and choices in life guided by a desire to set higher standards, find better methods, and build new roads or are you more likely to recognize and evaluate what has already been done and act according to what seems logically to follow with necessity?

Josh Freeman and Doug Martin head into the locker room at halftime with their team up by 10 on the road. Freeman has completed just 10 of 22 passes for 85 yards, but two red zone touchdowns have boosted his stats on the night.
Martin has already set a career-high on the ground, carrying the ball 14 times for 106 yards. The Bucs offense is letting him go to work, and it's paying off right now.
Fantasy Impact: Tampa Bay should continue to lean on Martin with the lead in the second half. He hasn't found the end zone yet, but the fact he's getting goal line carries bodes well for his owners.
The Bucs just need Freeman to manage the game going forward, capitalizing on red zone opportunities when they come. His two scores give his owners some comfort to start off Week 8.

are naturally worried about a PC government under total knuckle dragger Tim
Hudak. He 'promises' fewer teachers and support workers paid lower wages doing
more work. He is even promising a regime worse than the Harris government. Let's
start with a few givens.
1. Hudak would be an unmitigated disaster for education, for
teachers. For support workers, for students and parents.
2. The Liberals clearly do not deserve re-election not only due
to corruption and privatization but due to Bill 122 and Bill 115 and their
attacks on teachers.
3. The NDP is unlikely to win and particularly unlikely to form a
4. An NDP seat is better than a Liberal seat and a Liberal seat
is better than a Tory seat.
5. Seats are not equal. There are safe seats and swing seats. The
vote % has only moved slightly since the last election so barring a monumental
blunder, the shift will be small. Hudak MAY have blundered that badly but too
early to say.
The polls are all over the
map but here are results of the last election and aggregated polls.
In other words to date,
anything can happen.
The NDP can gain in this
election but also has seats that need to be protected.

It looks at this point like a status quo election with Hudak in
trouble if he does not win a majority. He will have a great deal of difficulty
finding a dance partner for any of his insane 100 000 lay-offs plan. Still if he
wins the most seats by far, some Liberals may feel he deserves a 'care-taker'
government. More likely a Liberal/NDP shot gun marriage will be arranged to keep
the Hudak PCs out.
Not that the Liberals deserve or have earned ANY support but in
some seats above, some voters may want to cast a strategic vote.
Actually believing the Liberals were sincere about their defeated
budget takes a totally naïve political sucker.
Voters should have two objectives. 1) Keep Hudak out. 2) Maximize
the number of NDP seats as a bulwark against reactionary policy from any
