Last chance to comment on council's improvement plan
1:30pm Thursday 21st February 2013 in News
A consultation period for Pembrokeshire County Council's 'improvement plan' will end tomorrow (Friday).
The council has said they have a "strong expectation" that recommendations from the recent Wales Audit Office and Estyn reports will form the backbone of the improvement objectives.
The consultation contains the following suggested areas for improvement: safeguarding, school improvement and inclusion, leadership and management, planning school places, corporate and political change across the council, a review of adult social care, town centres, waste and recycling, and crime and community safety.
The kinds of actions that might be taken in each area are outlined in a brief questionnaire, which is available on the county council's website.
The consultation ends tomorrow, February 22nd, and the final plan will be on the cabinet agenda for its meeting on April 15th.

This would immediately enable the council to streamline the top heavy management team and appoint a CEO with specific responsiblity for Education. Making an immediate saving of a quarter of a million pounds.
Traditionally in local government the largest and most expensive department is Education. The best alternative would be to direct the funding straight into the school budgets and let the professionals get on with the job of teaching our children.

Giving the responsibility for such a complax service as Education to small local councils in 1996 was in my view a huge blunder. The cost has been enormous. Not only in terms of inflated costs to ratepayers because of the duplication of having to pay CEO's, Directors of Education and their bureaucratic minions large salaies, but clearly the evidence points to schools being unable to work collaboratively and share areas of best practice that is such an important part of Professional Development.
It will be seventeen wasted years in April since the Education service was needlessly carved up. Sadly for me one of the underperforming Authorities is in Pembrokeshire where the councillors seem unable or unwilling to do much about it.

Directing that money straight into the schools would make the need for highly paid CEO.s and and his bureaucratic empire redundant.

What is it with Germans? Why must they produce such brilliant machines with such horrifically fatal flaws? I loved the Sigma Sport BC1200 - but then I moved it to my stem to make way for aerobars and sweated on it - game over.
Now, my beloved Sigma HRM is shot. Changed the batteries repeatedly, finally cracked open the strap/watch and found that my perspiration had overcome the seals and spread massive corrosion. Does Erik Zabel not sweat? Or perhaps my vitriolic personality is the result of an especially corrosive body chemistry?
Anyway, when I replaced the BC1200, I grabbed the first, cheapest, wireless computer I could find. Resilience aside, it's been 3,000+ miles of wrestling with a miniscule display, crappy UI, and largely useless features (a light that illumates only 1/3rd of the face, for example). So I have decided, uncharacteristically, to ask for opinions on a new HRM.
Not much needed for features, just max/average HR from a workout and maybe, maybe HR zones, with time spent in each zone. Primary criteria are durability, readability, and price (my range is always "as cheap as possible").

Memoir explores CCSR peer educator's road to recovery
Aug 15, 2013 10:30 AM | Print
Nancy Jensen
After a lifetime of battling a debilitating mental illness, Nancy Jensen finally found a way to take control of her life.
Jensen, now a peer educator in Wichita State's Center for Community Support and Research (CCSR), spent about 30 years in the mental health system and lived for more than a year at the Kaufman House in Newton, Kan. Although the home was thought to be a progressive treatment center for those with mental illnesses, residents were abused by its two owners.
With the help of Jensen's and other survivors' testimony in federal court, a jury found the Kaufmans guilty of crimes such as servitude, slavery and Medicare fraud.
Recently, Jensen published "The Girl Who Cried 'Wolf'!," a book about growing up with mental illness, her journey through the mental health system, time spent at Kaufman House, testimony against the Kaufmans and eventual road to recovery.
"The book came from wanting to share the possibility of recovery with whoever reads it," said Jensen. "It doesn't have to be someone who struggles with mental health; it could be a family member or provider."
Jensen said that the most rewarding part of her work is helping people take control of their own lives.
"It is exciting to see all the certified peer specialists when their jobs are going well," she said. "They see how their lives have impacted the lives of others in a good way and for a positive change."
Changing the narrative
With the help of CCSR, Jensen is now a peer educator, member of the Peer Specialists Training Team and is a certified facilitator of the Wellness Recovery Action Plan, a tool to help people cope with stress and crises.
"Certified peer specialist (CPS) training through CCSR was a big part of my recovery," she said. "The definition of recovery that we use in training was an 'a-ha' moment for me; it's the idea that you can gain control of your life and develop the life you want on the other side of the diagnosis."
In 2006, Jensen attended a conference where she met some of the CCSR staff and learned about recovery for the first time. She began working for the center in 2007.
"CCSR has given me opportunities to continue my educational and professional growth," she said.
Jensen has also worked to pass a law to create a unit in the attorney general's office for those who are being abused, neglected and exploited. She received the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services and Administration 2006 Voice Award and is a member of the Sedgwick County Mental Health Advisory Board.
"Nancy has turned her personal story from one of hardship to one of courage and hope," said Kevin Bomhoff, CCSR's director of strategic development. "She uses the power of peer support to guide others as they change the narrative in their lives."
About CCSR
The Center for Community Support and Research at WSU has served Kansas for more than 29 years by partnering with communities and organizations to strengthen the state through education, leadership development, facilitation and research.
Located at WSU's downtown center, the CCSR is a part of WSU's psychology department and provides assistance to self-help groups, nonprofit organizations, community coalitions, faith-based initiatives and government entities.
Bomhoff said that most recently, CCSR has started a new initiative working closely with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment and local health departments to more effectively serve the Kansas Medicaid population.

Minnesota contest court vacates yesterday's order striking testimony, will allow witness to finish testifying
The Minnesota contest court yesterday ordered the testimony of election judge Pamela Howell stricken from the record after it was revealed that Coleman's attorneys had failed to share with Franken's team a document that she had provided to them. The witness also viewed the document during a break in her cross examination. The document contained Ms. Howell's typed notes about possible double-counting on election day. This morning, the contest court vacated its order finding that Coleman's legal team, in failing to disclose the document, had acted inadvertently and without bad faith and that Franken would not be "substantially prejudiced" by the inclusion of this testimony. The court noted that Coleman's side has repeatedly failed to meet its disclosure duty but, apparently, the judges are reluctant to exclude testimony because of such failures.

Video Footage of Justin Bieber's Alleged Drag Race in Miami: Watch Here!
Adding to the wood pile in Justin Bieber's DUI case, CBS4 obtained exclusive surveillance video footage, capturing the apparent drag race involving the 19-year-old singer and Khalil Sharieff.
Mere moments before the "Beauty and the Beat" singer was taken away by police, the home video captured a yellow Lamborghini and red ferrarri speeding down Pine Tree Drive, with a fleet of black Escalades running interference.
Just seconds later, a Miami Dade police car arrives on the scene, and chases after the entourage, and soon after the cars were stopped, police stated that the Biebs was the driver of the yellow sports car.
The mayhem reportedly occurred around 4 AM Thursday morning, and police stated that Justin admitted to smoking marijuana, taking prescription drugs and drinking alcohol, before later speeding down Pine Tree Drive at 55-60 miles per hour.

I like Jason's controversial style. He fills in for Rome sometimes. He's controversial but knows his pooh.
Snow, one of his points was that Ted started to rebuild rather than provide Brett with a supporting cast.
Had they not drafted Rogers, they could have drafted someone who would help the team immediately, instead of sit on the bench for 4 years.
Whitlock and Rome are huge friends and that is where I was first exposed to Whitlock. Now, he is probably my favorite sports columnist. And I am in the news industry ... I read so many columns about so much shit it is ridiculous and I still love Whitlock on a regular basis.

Rated 3.7 out of 5 by 2047 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Atlanta1 A regular at this hotel! My 20- and 22-yr-old daughters and I have stayed at the Sheraton Towers every visit we have made to NYC over the past 12 years or so! This hotel is centrally located to Times Square to the south and Central Park to the north, with an E line subway stop steps away from the door. I HIGHLY recommend the Sheraton Towers. July 29, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Reggiemk12 Needs Improvement We had a lot of trouble with housekeeping during our one week stay. The cleaning performed varied daily. There was no consistency. They did not clean the bathroom unless we asked for it to be done. Same for vacuuming. At times the beds would not be made. The trash was not emptied daily even when overflowing. The coffee and tea were not replenished unless specifically requested. The housekeeping was not what I would expect from a Sheraton. They just did the least amount possible that they could get away with. They even fought with us when we asked for an additional comforter giving us the third degree about why we needed one and what we were going to use it for. We brought the issues to the attention of the housekeeping managers who apologized but the fact that the room was not cleaned daily makes me question returning to this hotel the next time we are in NYC. The housekeeping service was not what one expects from a Sheraton hotel and certainly detracted from our stay. July 6, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by kmal88 A Great Stay From beginning to end, I had no complaints about the hotel. The staff were friendly and hospitable at all times. The only issue I had was with the water temperature- it was hard to maintain while in the shower and would often go from freezing cold to scalding hot. January 13, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Freddy Sheraton NYC Was disappointed to see holes in the bed cover. The room was so hot we could not sleep. The thermostat was as low as it would go. We were next to 2 rooms that partied from 5pm until we left at 7pm. They were quiet until they returned at 2 am and continued to party. It was not a great experience. We were exhausted ! January 26, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by PrairieRose Convention One of 2000 women attending a convention, I was pleased with the service and location to New York City attractions. I walked to most places I wanted to visit. One glitch was getting the bill split correctly for the four of us sharing a room. The desk person was courteous, but the process was lengthy and cumbersome. August 1, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by fredx concierge poor advice from concierge on local eatery - a rip off family diner March 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Diana The hotel was comfortable Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Had a family member who came to visit us and being on Club Level enhanced our stay. We were able to take her into the Club Lounge and spend time talking and enjoying the marvelous Manhattan backdrop! Thank you. Had an issue with a charge and the front desk immediately took care of it. June 12, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Frendub Excellent Location Second time we have stayed here and it was most enjoyable. Staff at the reception and dining room fantastic. Bar staff and waitress in bar area leave alot to be desired, If it was my buisness they would all be fired. Never watch their customers and have to be reminded more than once customer waiting to give order. March 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by hgminnyc Excellent location! I stayed for one night at the Sheraton Hotel NY with a friend and had an excellent stay. My room was ready when I arrived and I was given exactly what I needed. The staff is always very nice and accommodating, especially Lazaro at the Concierge Desk. He is incredibly helpful and quite knowledgeable about the city. September 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by BobbyGvrr Lcation Excellent location and services. March 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by SuperBowl2014 Facilities need improvement Two things did not work properly, the satellite TV reception (numerous channels had terrible reception) and the shower (70% of the water poured out of the tub faucet instead of the shower head). Otherwise the stay went fine. February 2, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by okay SPG gold upgrade and club lounge food This property does not give a better room for SPG Gold member. I requested a room with a bathtub. But we got a shower. Water leeks out of the shower no matter how we are careful. The Club Lounge food quality was not like before. (We had enjoyed the food in March and April, 2012.) We were dissapointed this time. February 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by FrequentNYtraveler Hotel has the best staff. How helpful the entire staff were! From the front door to reception to security assistance in the middle of the night. We were safe, secure and cared for all the way. Quality of service, location and quality of service. Did I say how great the staff were at meeting our needs every time, and we had several times. October 31, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by grossdag Change are a disappointment Starting breakfast at 7:30 is too late for a business person. Reduction in evening hours and selection poor - no cookies even. No water in SPG rooms and no welcome tray. Rates going up and service going down. Getting more and more like their sister property across the street who is always cheaper. Disappointing. August 27, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jenny95 An awesome location Very central-room clean. Make sure you check everything works before you unpack. Safe, telephone not working and power plug socket pulled out of wall in first room so had to be moved-a bit annoying as had already unpacked. Next room TV didn't work properly. Found some front desk staff not very friendly/helpful April 16, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by NYCT Little things matter Location is key; this hotel has the best location for first time visitors. As noted in other reviews the line at reception was considerably longer than I would have expected. The rooms are newly renovated and as the renovation is ongoing, expect to hear considerable construction noise on the lower floors of the hotel. Our room was well kept; with the exception of some food left on the floor around the bed. For a Sheraton hotel I would have expected either free or lower cost internet (14.95 per day per device). One other oversight on the hotels part was not having a welcome book ( phone numbers, room service menu, other info) in the room, we had to ask three times in order to get one and after two days we finely got one. On a final note after staying in the hotel for 4 nights we were charged $19.00 to hold 2 bags and a backpack for 4 hours; this was highly disappointing. Over I would highly recommend this hotel based on its location, the customer service and the room comfort. January 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by MUL2 M&G Portland Maine Arrived on Friday the 13th of Dec....Left one day early due to snow storm....No Charge on leaving early....free WiFi....Staff very friendly (as always)....great help getting a taxi to JFK....we'll be back....NYC owes us a weekend....last year we had to leave early because of SANDY.... December 15, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by Chad70 Upgrade the staff The staff at this hotel is generally unfriendly. One of the front desk clerks actually mocked the previous customer before me using the adults voice from the Charlie Brown cartoon. The staff standing around the elevators don't seem to be helping much either....they just stand there like body guards at a club. May 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barb99 Great NY Visit The Sheraton New York is conveniently located and offered us a great home base for our NY visit. The hotel was comfortable, service was excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We were surrounded by great food, a huge variety of shopping, walking distance to the worlds best theaters, and Central Park. August 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gary4142 Amazing Location, Wonderful service We were walking distance of everything I wanted to see in NYC! Service was superb @ Hudson Market Rest. -Ernesto was our waiter , he went above and beyond the service standards with us making us feel @ Home! , as well Brittany and Chelsea from Front Desk Thanks to all of them , definetly will return! October 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Ron3 Front Desk Staff Unfortunately, my wife had a bad experience with the front desk staff. I believe that she need to learn how important is the customer service and how to treat the customers in a humble manner. Anyway, this bad experience does not negate the excellent service and attention received from the rest of the group. March 25, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Uboat Excellent hotel and exceptional service I have never stayed at a Sheraton property in Manhattan. The overall experience was beyond my expectations. I will certainly book this hotel in the future and recommend it to future business and personal contacts. Thank you for such great service and wonderful accommodations. A 5 star property for sure. October 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Lynn62 Hotel good housing keeping noisy in the halls early in the morning Overall a big room for NYC, clean and comfortable. Only 2 things that were disappointing - I never understand why hotels use white grout in the shower, because you always see the mold and 2 - it is a big hotel so they are cleaning all day, but really does housekeeping need to talk so loudly in the hall? October 7, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by bigmac2 food, elevators and staffing disappointing took exceptionally long time to check in they had only 1 -2 people doing check in. the elevator bank that i needed i was on 44th floor was running exceptionally slowsthe club room which i have used before was disappointing, bare minimum amount of food and replaced very infrequently coffee machine not working August 2, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by bobspg My stay was okay....just okay At first I was told they couldn't find my reservation. There was really no recognition of my status. I had booked this as a vacation stay and was hoping for something different.....an upgrade or something. In the past I would even sometimes find a small gift and note in my room. Not here. Very disappointed. February 27, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Papa1965 Great Central Location Just want to stay this is one of my favourite SPG properties in NYC - great location and the Sheraton Time Square have some of the friendliest staff I have ever met, even the staff in the coffee shop can't do enough for you. Cant wait to go back! January 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by girlsweekend1 Great Location This hotel was in a great location between the theatres and Central Park March 4, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Chris314 A bit crazy... Gold member, but don't think that translated into a better room. It was really crazy when we checked-in and system was down, so may have influenced the outcome. It's a great location for sure. The rooms are newly updated although small. I realize NY has smaller rooms. It was a good experience, not great. June 8, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Flep Internet Wifi internet in room kept cutting out, even with good signal strength. Internet is much better in Club Lounge and Lobby. No complimentary bottled water in room as advertised on website. February 11, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gabriel26 My stay at Sheraton NY Times Square I checked in at the hotel on March 24 and checked out on March 30th. I had a good experience at the hotel until March 29 when I encountered a serious problem. I left the room in the morning and when I came back to the hotel around 6:30 PM from my daily activities to find that the people that check the frigobar had taken out of it a medicine I left in it because this medicine is temperature sensitive. I called the front desk immediately because I needed to contact Lilly Labs and ask them what to do with the medicine and I needed to inform them how long had been out of the fridge. Everybody seemed to not be able to find out for me the time this happened, I was explained that the company that does those in room services doesn't have to do with Sheraton. Finally after I talked to a Manager he took some time but got me the information about the time. Also he sent me a hotel fridge to the room at no charge. I find what happened to me was very aggravating and not hotel friendly. I was not keeping food or beverages of my own, I had just a small injection I cannot miss taking because of a special treatment I am going through and that it is worth $600 and that at that point I couldn't take. This is shipped to me from the lab in a cooler every month. By the time I left the room, 45 minutes later the fridge wasn't in the room. I left and when I came back late that night the fridge was there. So much for being worried for me. I asked if I was going to get any credit for all my problems and probably future cost of having to reorder this medicine and I was given a $100 credit. I thought I should have been given at least a 2 days stay free but the manager said he couldn't. I am busy traveler and I stay in many places and Sheraton is one of my preferred hotel of choice. I believe I deserve better than this for my nightmare. March 31, 2014

All bling, glitz and cream-leather booths, the bar and lounge at this independent venue in the bowels of the Crowne Plaza hotel might appeal to footballers' wives – especially as it also sports a Champagne library housing London's most comprehensive selection of Pommery. Connected by a covered, heated passageway-cum-terrace where aficionados can puff on fine Cuban cigars, the old vaults have also been reconfigured as a dozen or so bookable VIP rooms, lavishly appointed with deep armchairs, cushions, faux-fur throws and an iPod dock – perfect for trysts, parties, events and upmarket stag or hen dos. In addition to fine French bubbles, waiter service delivers cocktails, wines and well-presented bar bites such as calamari or onion rings with lemon or wasabi mayo, dim sum, mini duck wraps and a vast sharing platter (£38).

Now that that's over with, at least we won't have to go through much more misty-eyed reminiscing of a Cup won two years ago when there's still quite a large task at hand of acquiring the one that's still up for grabs in six months. After going their first 15 games without a regulation loss when scoring first, the Hawks have now lost their last two. This tilt was predictably fast paced and high-scoring, with both teams trading periods of exerting themselves offensively while the respective defensive corps did their best Roger Dorn impersonations. In an ending reminiscent of the last time the Hawks were in Philly for a regular season game, a late penalty to Patrick Kane proved the death knell for the Hawks, as their passive and sloppy kill was torched by Claude Giroux who was given all the time in the world by all four Hawks to find Scott Hartnell, who relayed a pass from down low to a streaking JVR who didn't miss on the game winner. Flyers 5, Hawks 4.
- The early returns from Hawk nation are that of bellowing of no minors being called on the Flyers during the game. With the way the game was officiated, I'm not sure what they could have called that would have been within the context of the game they were allowing to happen. Though it is curious how Patrick Sharp wound up with four minutes for nary a scratch on Giroux, otherwise the zebras let the boys play.
- While the defensive zone coverage was for the most part abhorrent from the Hawks tonight, Ray Emery finally got exposed by a team that had the skill and patience to get him moving laterally. All 5 Flyer goals forced Razor to move post to post. And though Emery did make several solid stops, his rebound control left a lot to be desired.
- I'm sure the legends of Andrew Shaw and Jimmy Hayes are already being penned in leather bound, gilded page volumes as we speak. While both had nice games, and showed some hands both in close and in space, let's wait for a bigger sample size before everyone goes all Ben Smith on them. And I'm pretty sure there's still bone fragments from Shaw's skull getting kicked around the Wells Fargo ice.
- Nice of Pat and Eddie to finally tell us that Kimmo Timonen, the Flyers' best defensman with Pronger out, missed the last half of the first period and was only able to muster 3 short shifts at the start of the second with about 5 minutes left to go in that frame. I'm sure the shoutouts and waxing poetic about the Hawks training staff were more important, though.
- The Corsi numbers defy logic all over the place.
- Oh hey, Dave Bolland with an assist. So nice of him to make the trip.
- Something needs to be done with the defensive zone coverage. If the Hawks can't cut off the opposition's zone entry, they're getting repeatedly hemmed in and consequently clowned. The Hawk D men are going to need to a better job at closing in on puck carriers and angling them at the wall, rather than just flailing their sticks at them bent at the waist. Hawk wingers would be well served to stay interested in their checks crashing into the slot as well, rather than waiting for their chance to shotgun back up ice.
In a rare instance, Marian Hossa was particularly guilty of this on the Harry Zwasweriosasdoflkmnsadecyk goal, as he let him just waltz into the slot uncovered after Dylan Olsen had forced his man into a low percentage shot from the corner, and OD was in his rightful place occupying a man in front of Emery.
- For as iffy as he's been all year, The Universe was so humahngusbig when it counted (timely humor!), even if he almost filled his diaper at the end.
- Patrick Sharp officially has his annual case of the post-Holiday yips. A prolonged homestand with a newborn during one of the Hawks' densest stretches of games probably isn't helping things in the rest department either. Even with that being the case, it might be time to get him back at the pivot, as Kane's line got dong whipped in their own end tonight on a fairly consistent basis.
- If nothing else, the Hawks will have very little time to dwell on that cock-punch of an ending, as the suddenly relevant Avalanche are back at the UC tomorrow, which will be just as fast paced an affair as tonight's was. And on the plus side, at least we won't have to look at Matt Duchene's face tomorrow.

Police arrested a man after a 5 hour long standoff in south Dallas.
This started Friday night as a family disturbance.
Everyone in the Pennsylvania Avenue home got out by the time police arrived, except for one man with a gun who went back in the house.
Early Saturday morning, police used tear gas and flash-bang grenades to get him out and arrested him on the front lawn.
Paramedics checked out the man, who was deemed ok, and then taken to jail.

Tree Biology
Trees are extremely successful organisms. With more than 80,000 species growing worldwide, they range in size from tiny Arctic Willows a few centimetres high through to giant Redwoods over 100 metres tall.
Trees are a very diverse group and have evolved from many distinct ancestors over millions of years.
Plants do not grow in isolation. They must compete with other plants from their own and different species for space, water, nutrients and light.
The basic body plan, leaf shape and size, type of bark, reproductive strategy and all the other components of their life strategy have all evolved to serve some purpose which makes that particular tree species successful in the struggle for life in its environment.
What the trees that make it are good at is competing for light as they can hold their leaves above other plants and shade them out.
This section gives a brief overview about the biology of trees and what the features are that make them amongst the largest and most successful land organisms on Earth.
We aim to convince you that trees are extremely complicated organisms with a myriad of biological processes occurring in them and boasting a mechanical structure that is the envy of many engineers and architects.
More: Three excellent modern books to enjoy on the structure and function of trees are:
- "Trees" by Roland Ennos (2001) published by the Natural History Museum;
- "Trees: their Natural History" by Peter Thomas (2000) Cambridge University Press.
- "The Secret Life of Trees" by Colin Tudge (2005) Penguin

POTTSBORO, TX---- Yesterday, Pottsboro police told KTEN News Pottsboro High School was put into lockdown for about an hour during the school's prom on Saturday. Today, school officials addressed the lockdown and stressed that it really isn't an issue that parents or students should be concerned about. However, several Pottsboro High School students and parents think otherwise.
Lt. David Brown of the Pottsboro Police Department said it all started after a student posted a picture of a gun on Facebook on Saturday night. He said the high school was referenced in the background of the photo and Pottsboro ISD Superintendent Dr. Kevin Matthews said it looked like the student could have been at the prom.
Lt. Brown said students who wanted to leave during the lockdown had to be escorted to their cars. He said the student who posted the photo never showed up to the prom, but that they wanted to be safe, rather than sorry.
Today, Dr. Matthews described the incident as concerning, but said since there was no direct threat made to the high school prom, there was no reason to notify parents.
"I just think that everyone should be told what's going on because it could have been dangerous," one parent said. "It obviously wasn't, but you never know what's going to happen."
"You need to tell the parents, so they can make up their mind whether it's safe to send their children to school," said grandparent Simone Wallace.
"This is a small tight-knit community and the community should know what's going on," said mother Niki McDonald.
Today, Dr. Matthews decided to issue a statement regarding the lockdown. "There was no threat to the high school prom and no student was in danger on Saturday night," Matthews said. "The administration, in conjunction with the Pottsboro Police Department, handled the situation very well. Pottsboro ISD will always make student safety a priority."

On a desktop, why wouldn't your start screen look like this?
We see a lot of nice colorful start menus, but I can't get around why you would have "metro" applications on a computer without a touchscreen. All the "metro" apps take forever to load and have pretty bare UI's on large screens. For me the start menu is a glorified launchpad, but it looks ugly as sin really.

Again, such generalization (Generation Y/X/ or Z) makes little sense, IMHO. There are knowlegeable, experienced, and smart people is each of those generations and there are inexperienced people in each category. Age is not a good discriminator at all when it comes to finance and banking.

Jonah Goldberg: Obama's health care lie freaks Democrats
In an oft-repeated vow, he told the country that "if you like your health care plan, you'll be able to keep your health care plan, period. No one will take it away, no matter what."
The first refuge is that he was simply being "unclear." The "White House could have been clearer in laying the groundwork for this political argument," writes The Washington Post's Greg Sargent. House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, D-Md., says, "I think we should have been more precise." The New York Times' editorial board says, "Obama clearly misspoke when he said that."
Some people already know they don't think the new plans are better. In many cases, they're more expensive with higher deductibles and stiffer co-pays. Better for the consumer and better for bureaucrats or progressive social planners don't always mean the same thing.
If a landlord promises you can keep your dog when you move into an apartment, but then after you sign the lease he takes your dog and replaces it with a stuffed one, he wasn't telling you the truth. The landlord's view that the new dog is better ("No mess! No noise!") is utterly irrelevant to the question of whether the landlord lied — and it doesn't make you a fool for preferring your old dog, either.

Alan Matthew Champagne charged after human remains found in Phoenix yard
PHOENIX - Police have confirmed that a man, who was already in jail for an unrelated incident, is accused of burying two people in a Phoenix backyard in 2011.
According to Phoenix police Sgt. Tommy Thompson, 42-year-old Alan Matthew Champagne is accused of killing a man and woman, who he got into an altercation with in October 2011.
Detectives identified Champagne as a probable suspect, but the bodies were not found.
Read more about Champagne's criminal past on abc15.com.
In March 2012, he ended up in a barricade situation at his mother's home near Indian School Road and 16th Street.
He was arrested and charged with multiple counts of attempted first degree murder for trying to shoot police officers, Thompson said.
While in jail, detectives continued investigating the double homicide and discovered more evidence that pointed to Champagne as the suspect, Thompson said.
His mother has since moved out of the home near Indian School Road and 16th Street.
On Tuesday around 1:45 p.m., Phoenix police were called to his mother's former house.
The current owners hired landscapers to renovate the property, who then found a wooden box buried in the yard.
In the box were the remains of what looks like a male and female victim, Thompson said.
The remains were taken to the Maricopa County Medical Examiner's Office, where autopsies will be conducted.
On Wednesday, Champagne was transported to Phoenix Police Headquarters to be interviewed about the double homicide.
He chose not to speak to detectives, Thompson said. But there was reportedly probable cause to charge him with two counts of first degree murder.

Revision of Zoning and Subdivision Regulations supports development
In an effort to further support sustainable urban revitalization and development, the City Planning and Development Department will revise the Zoning and Subdivision Regulations for Kansas City. These regulations govern the development process, establish appropriate land use and ensure quality development.
The Zoning and Subdivision Regulations impact property owners, neighborhoods, and all residents of Kansas City, Mo. Because of the importance of these regulations, the City will solicit input from a wide range of stakeholders and will conduct a public participation process to include as many people as possible.
"I feel that public participation is important because we don't want to do this in a vacuum. We want to make certain it's a win-win situation, not just for the City, but for all of the people that are going to be dealing with the new regulations," said City Manager Wayne Cauthen.
The process will take four years to complete and require significant participation from the City Planning and Development Department, Law Department, Public Works Department, Department of Codes Administration, Parks and Recreation Department, and Water Services Department. A consultant team will be selected and directed by City staff and a steering committee of business and neighborhood leaders.
Additional staff support in the City Planning and Development Department will be needed to coordinate notices, meetings, research and documentation. An additional planner also will be added to maintain the current level of customer service and development application analysis expected by the development community, the City Plan Commission, the Planning, Zoning and Economic Development Committee, and citizens.
For more information about the Zoning and Subdivision Regulations process, contact Vicki Noteis, Director, City Planning and Development Department, (816) 513-2871; or Patty Noll, project manager, (816) 513-2864, or email@example.com

Hurricane Sandy was extraordinarily deceptive for us folks here in NYC and many of us rode the storm out hunkered down in our apartments waiting for it to pass. Whilst we did so, many of us were also logged onto weather.com, a prominent Visual Revenue customer and active user of our homepage programming platform. We obviously can't share any data, but Melissa Medori, the Weather Channel's public relations manager shared a few data points.
LAUNCH: Cross Network Publisher Tracking
I'm extremely pleased to announce the launch of our Cross network Publisher Tracking. Editors – those articles you promote within network now have real-time data! You have ammunition for that call you get from 'John' halfway through the morning asking to have his article pushed further up the page. It's actually performing where it should do for the position you've got it in so no sense in pushing it higher and knocking out a better performing article. Or indeed the positive scenario where you can see that the story has really resonated with your audience and could in fact get more exposure!

Actor Steven Seagal and the Mob
The Pitch
If the tale of Steven Seagal's entanglement with the Italian-American Mafia were presented as a pitch for a movie, it would go something like this: Smart, good-looking, tall and trim HERO. A trained killer and former soldier of fortune, black belt in several deadly martial arts. Can kill with his eyelashes if necessary. Hero is targeted by MOBSTERS who try to shake him down for large sum of money. The mob's point man is a short, weasely JOE PESCI TYPE. But our hero is as righteous as he is taciturn. He tries to solve things peacefully by going to an HONORABLE OLD MOBSTER, but this man is an old-style "man of honor" and he can't talk reason with the gang of bad mobsters. After trashing and smashing a passel of mob underlings, the clever hero manages to outmaneuver the bad mobsters in court, using his quick wits and ingenious verbal combat techniques. The bad mobsters are found guilty and sent to jail for a very long time. Hero walks out of courtroom head held high, free from mob extortion and death threats. At the bottom of the courthouse steps, he links arms with the SHAPELY MOB PRINCESS who sees the shallow worthlessness of her former life and salivates to live in the Hero's righteous glow.
That's the movie version, and perhaps this is emblematic of the heightened reality that Steven Seagal lived during his Hollywood career. Yakuza, drug lords, CIA assassins, black ops, rogue cops — the screen versions blended and blurred with the "facts" that Seagal presented to the public. Then he got involved with the real deal and found that made members of La Cosa Nostra are not as romantic or honorable as their celluloid counterparts, and they don't take direction.
What Seagal failed to realize is that the Mafia is concerned with only one thing: money. They are not "men of honor," and they only do the right thing when it does right by them. As the FBI undercover tapes have shown, the mobsters were significantly less impressed with Seagal than he apparently was with them. Celebrities who pal around with mobsters for the bad-guy cache soon learn that this kind of friendship has a price tag, and often it's a running tab that's never satisfied. Fame means nothing to the mob, only fortune. Or as the fictional Michael Corleone, played by Al Pacino, says in the Godfather, "It's not personal... It's strictly business."
Jules Nasso is pressing ahead with his $60 million civil suit against Seagal.

HD Movies On UK Store?
Nov 15, 2009, 04:14 PM
...Where are they? On the US store there is a clear drop down menu. In the UK are the films only available on ATV? And if so why?
Nov 16, 2009, 06:35 PM
It's ridiculous, i don't understand why we can't buy them in the uk. It must be down to the film companies.
We are bound to get them at some point, until we do I'm not going to buy another film off iTunes, it would be a waste of money.
I bought Star Trek on Blu-Ray and it had a code to download the digital SD version off iTunes, on my iPhone it looks great but on :apple:TV it looks pretty bad.
We are able to rent films in HD on :apple:TV but not buy which is very strange.
Dec 8, 2009, 03:54 AM
This ridiculous situation is basically stopping me buying films at the moment. I don't want to buy DVD's when there is HD available, I don't want to buy Blu Ray because I don't want to re-live the DVD experience and have boxes full of dusty discs, and I don't want to buy on iTunes in SD when it's surely only a matter of time before HD comes along - and from the 'iTunes Extras' experience, it looks like they're not going to allow upgrades from SD to HD movies, and I'm not prepared to buy twice.
I presume they're delaying HD downloads to encourage Blu Ray success. I just wish they knew that it wasn't going to work with me - I'll just not buy at all (at most I'll rent the HD version).

The Carolina Panthers put their six-game win streak on the line this Sunday when they travel to Miami for an inter-conference matchup with the scandal-draped Dolphins.
Coming off a thrilling Monday night win over Tom Brady and the Patriots, the Panthers have surged towards the top of the conference and currently sit just behind the Saints in the NFC South at 7-3. The Dolphins, mired in the developing Jonathan Martin bullying scandal, overcame a humiliating loss to the Buccaneers for a Week 11 win over the Chargers, and are still very much in the thick of the AFC wildcard race at 5-5.
Meet the Dolphins
With the bullying scandal having already claimed Martin and guard Richie Incognito, a thin offensive line had to fight through San Diego without veteran center Mike Pouncey, who missed the game with an illness. Pouncey spent several days in the hospital, but is back with the team and looks to have a good chance to play against the Panthers. That's good news for quarterback Ryan Tannehill, whose inconsistent sophomore campaign has both been both thrilling and maddening for Miami fans. That inconsistency has bothered big-play receiver Mike Wallace, who has topped 100 yards receiving just twice this season and has found the endzone only once.
The Dolphins hold a formidable pass rush, with Olivier Vernon, Randy Starks, Jared Odrick and Cameron Wake all having at least three sacks on the season. No. 3 overall pick Dion Jordan, a pass-rushing defensive end, has failed to acclimate as quickly as expected and has gotten to the quarterback just once this season. The team has 30 sacks on the year, but still ranks in the bottom half of the NFL in total defense.
Meet the Panthers
Cam Newton is developing into one of the league's top young passers, and took a huge step by leading a late touchdown drive to pull past the Patriots on Monday night. During the team's win streak, he's completed 67 percent of his passes for 10 touchdowns and three picks. He's complimented by a top-10 rushing attack, spearheaded by DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart.
Newton's played well, but it is Carolina's defense that is powering the surge. Before New England put up 20, the Panthers hadn't allowed more than 15 points in any of their last five games and are allowing a league best 13.5 points per contest on the season.
Local Takes: Dolphins
Charles Clay, Miami's unheralded but increasingly dependable tight end/fullback hybrid, had a big game against the Chargers, which included a beastly 39-yard touchdown catch-and-run. Sean Donovan at The Phinsider likes what he sees from the emerging third-year player.
In addition to the big touchdown, Clay was a consistent, impactful part of the Dolphins' passing attack the entire night. Of his 90 total receiving yards, 77 came after the catch. He forced five missed tackles, displaying a tough running ability to go along with his unique athleticism. He caught six of his seven targets and achieved a first down four times.
Quietly, Clay's become Miami's third leading receiver and now has the team lead in touchdown receptions. His development into a viable option at tight end/split receiver is a huge credit to a player who had a disastrous 2012 season.
Local Takes: Panthers
James Dator at Cat Scratch Reader is plenty enthused over Carolina's Monday night win, but it's the development of Newton that really has him fired up.
As great as the win feels, I'm more excited for Cam Newton. He's endured endless piles of BS and criticism about his play extending far beyond normal evaluation. Newton needed a signature win on national TV to show people why it's a tossup between Andrew Luck, Russell Wilson and Newton for the league's best young quarterback -- and he outplayed Tom Brady on football's largest stage. Cam 2.0 was shown off all to see, and it was a thing of beauty.

@josephperson - Panthers beat writer
Go listen to Dean Blandino's comments or read transcript about Kuechly play. He had several chances to say it was the right call and didn't.
— Joe Person (@josephperson) November 20, 2013
"Someone's got to get that last Wild Card spot," said Tyson Clabo. "Why not us?" Why not, indeed. A trip to the playoffs might just be the only thing that can save Jeff Ireland's job right now, maybe Joe Philbin's too. The Dolphins are .500, and they've won two of three games since the bullying thing surfaced. However, Clabo happens to be part of an offensive line that does as poorly protecting the quarterback as it does preventing harassment.
So my answer to Clabo, for this week anyway, would be: because the Panthers defensive line will punish you in ways not even Richie Incognito could imagine.
The pick: Panthers
The streaking Panthers are 4½-point road favorites, according to Oddsshark.com.
Next Week
Both teams face division opponents in Week 13, with the Dolphins traveling to the New York Jets and the Panthers hosting the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Beeyu Overseas to produce speciality, organic teas
Kohinoor Mandal
Kolkata , Feb. 8
BEEYU Overseas Ltd, a city-based company operating mostly as a bought leaf factory in the South, is all set to develop speciality, organic and green tea to have a complete range of products.
According to Mr Charan Hegde, General Manager of Beeyu Overseas, the company, which already produces CTC and orthodox teas, will start producing organic and speciality teas by next year.
At present, it produces approximately 30 lakh tonnes of tea per annum. Of this 15 lakh tonnes is CTC and the rest is orthodox. The company also owns a tea garden of around 48 acres along with the factory.
Almost 90 per cent of the green leaves required by Beeyu's factory is supplied by local villagers. The rest is plucked from its own garden.
"We are going to use the leaves of our garden for producing green tea, organic tea and speciality tea. We are already in the process of preparing our garden in that manner. The necessary certificates will come soon," Mr Hegde said.
Beeyu will be producing small quantities of speciality and organic teas but it is likely to fetch a high price. These products are in great demand in the German and UK markets. According to Mr Hegde, the company is likely to produce 80,000 kg to one lakh kg of speciality teas.
Meanwhile, the company is also increasing the capacity of its tea factory in Ooty. From 3,000 tonnes per annum, the capacity will be raised to 6,000 tonnes in the first phase, and then, in the second phase, to 9,000 tonnes per annum.
Of the total capacity, 5,000 tonnes would be for CTC tea and the rest, 4,000 tonnes, would be for orthodox tea. With the expanded capacity in place, the cost of conversion from green leaf to tea will come down to Rs 8 per kg from Rs 12 per kg. The cost of the project is Rs 13 crore.
Beeyu Overseas is planning to come out with its second public issue of Rs 10 crore soon. The company will be taking term loans from State of Bank of India worth Rs 3 crore.

The biggest MMA event in the history of Thailand is taking place this weekend and the card has developed into something which could be a little bit special.
Originally intended to feature just five fights Dare has now seven on the card most of which feature good quality fighters with respectable Sherdog records.
The original main event was supposed to be Yoann Gouaida vs Rafael Lopes but this fell through when Lopes fractured his leg in a Muay Thai fight. Many MMA events would have been left in disarray under these circumstances but DARE have not only managed to find a suitable replacement in Brandon Kesler, they also have another four fights which would all be worthy of main event status.
Arnaud Lepont may not be well known outside of Asian circles but the Frenchman is a submission specialist with an MMA record of 6-1. His opponent Jian Kai Chee came within seconds of stopping Ole Laursen at Martial Combat last year and the Malaysian will provide a tough test for Lepont.
Ngoo Ditty is the protegee of Tiger Muay Thai instructor and BJJ black belt Ray Elbe. His MMA career has had it's up and downs but he is coming off the back off an impressive win and will be looking to go 4-2 against Daniel Mashamaite. As the best known Thai fighter on the card Ngoo will be the hometown favourite and this fight is made even more interesting by the fact that Mashamaite is fighting out of Phuket Top Team, a brand new MMA camp which recently opened its doors on the same street as Tiger Muay Thai.
Two massive fights were added to this card at the very last minute. When French MMA veterans Ferrid Kheder and Sebastian Garguier got in touch a couple of weeks before the show looking for a fight they probably weren't seriously expecting to find one.
The Dare promoter put out the call and despite the fact that there was no time for a training camp Evolve MMA in Singapore answered and agreed to allow two of their top fighters to compete. Zorobabel Moreira is a BJJ black belt who is currently 3-1, he will be a massive underdog against the highly experienced Judo Olympian Kheder but this looks set to be a very high level MMA fight for the Bangkok fans.
Another Evolve MMA fighter, Brian Choi, stepped up at even later notice. There were barely seven days to go until the show when he put pen to paper and agreed to fight Kheder's team mate, Garguier. The Frenchman holds an 8-7 MMA record with seven submission wins under his belt and will be a huge test for Choi, a wrestler who is currently 2-0.
Completing the card is another Tiger Muay Thai vs Phuket Top Team match up which sees TMT's James Mackinnon take on PTT's Will Chope and Korean Won Seok Jung takes on Thai fighter Detchoot Detsuryian.
Dare Fight Sports deserve massive credit for putting on such a strong card. Despite originally advertizing five fights they now have seven the majority of which feature experienced fighters with verifiable MMA records.
Dare's inaugural event is taking place at Club Insomnia on Sukhumvit Soi 12 on Saturday June 25th. The first fight takes place at 5pm.

Transfer Talk: Tottenham begin their march towards pipping Arsenal with the signing of Paulinho
Tottenham have sealed the signing of Brazilian powerhouse, Paulinho after the the Brazil international confirmed his departure at a press conference yesterday, a day after lifting the Confederations Cup with Brazil.
Later, Corinthians confirmed on their website that Tottenham have agreed to pay €20 million (£17m) release clause in Paulinho's contract.
The Brazilian midfielder was emotional while bidding farewell to his old club and vowed to return one day.
"It's hard to say anything at a moment like this, but I am sure those were three wonderful years in my career, with many titles and working with the right people, who always helped me," Paulinho said.
"What I have to say to Corinthians is 'see you soon'. Pretty soon I'll be back, owing to everything you have done for me", he added.

- A newly published study of Texas school district data and industrial mercury-release data, conducted by researchers at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, indeed shows a statistically significant link between pounds of industrial-release mercury and increased autism rates. It also shows -- for the first time in scientific literature -- a statistically significant association between autism risk and distance from the mercury source.
"This is not a definitive study, but just one more that furthers the association between environmental mercury and autism," said lead author Raymond F. Palmer, PhD, associate professor of family and community medicine at the UT Health Science Center San Antonio. The article is in the journal Health & Place.
Dr. Palmer; Stephen Blanchard, PhD, of Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio; and Robert Wood of the UT Health Science Center found that community autism prevalence is reduced by 1 to 2 percent with each 10 miles of distance from the pollution source.
In fact, the authors themselves cite several limitations to their study:
- Dr. Palmer and his colleagues pointed out the study did not reflect the true community prevalence rates of autism, because children younger than school age are not counted in the Texas Education Agency data system. The 1:500 autism rates in the study are lower than the 1:150 autism rates in recent reports of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Furthermore, the authors note that distance was not calculated from individual homes to the pollution source, but from central points in school districts that varied widely in area.

text: Reply with who you think will win. I'll lead it off my prediction is Chicago in 5. Now i shall explain my reasoning I believe that Chicago's defense and goaltending are superior. I also really like the matchups guys such as Madden and Ladd against there top lines. Not to mention there depth of scorers like Byfuglien, Hossa, Toews, Kane, Sharp. I also think this is the year the Hossa curse is broken and he will finally raise the coveted cup. Well I hope to hear all of your opinions. But no matter what happens hope it's a great series.
