Tomorrow is Halloween. You know what that means. Costumes. Candy. Shenanigans. And the official start of the holiday season.
I know, I know. Most of us aren't ready to start thinking about the holidays yet. Christmas seems like it's months away. But if you plan to sew gifts or holiday decor, now is the time to start. My goal this year is to make matching Christmas stockings for my family, and if I have time, possibly a tree skirt. We'll see!
Speaking of sewing, I won't be teaching sewing classes again until the new year. I needed more time in my schedule to handle the details for GLAM Craft Show, the annual holiday craft show that I organize. Be sure to join us on Sunday, December 8 from 11am to 4pm. We'll have 70 vendors selling awesome, handcrafted gifts, and there will be food, drinks, and even beer and wine for sale. Drinking and shopping? You can't do that at the mall!
But back to sewing. If you have the itch to take more sewing classes, be sure to check out the upcoming classes my friend Shona is teaching at A-1 Sewing.
Learn to Hem Your Pants
1 Session: Friday, Nov. 1 — 6-9pm ($35)
Tired of paying to have all of your pants altered? Come to this class and learn how to do it yourself! You will learn how to hem a pair of trousers using a blind hem stitch. This can be done by machine or by hand. Bring a pair of pants that need to be shortened and some matching thread (you can purchase that here before class if you'd like). If you have a sewing machine with a blind hem stitch, bring it. You will also need the blind hem foot that goes with it. If you don't have a machine, no worries! Bring a hand sewing needle or pick up a pack here.
Beginner Garment Sewing: Sorbetto Top

This swingy, sleeveless top is a wardrobe staple that is easy to fit and easy to make. It's the perfect first project for anyone wanting to learn how to sew clothing! In three sessions you will learn the basics of garment sewing. We'll start with some basic fitting techniques, learn about sewing pattern sizing, fabrics types, and cutting from a commercial pattern layout. You will learn how to sew darts, pleats, and apply bias binding to necklines and armholes. Pattern will be provided with class fee. You will need to bring your sewing machine to the last two sessions and purchase materials.

NicaraguaLast Updated: May 2010
Hague Adoption Convention Country?NO
Alerts & Notices
No Current Alerts or Notices
- Hague Convention Information
Nicaragua is not party to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption ( Hague Adoption Convention ). Therefore, when the Hague Adoption Convention entered into force for the United States on April 1, 2008, intercountry adoption processing for Nicaragua did not change.
Nicaraguan law does not allow for a Nicaraguan child to travel to the United States to be adopted. Therefore, prospective adoptive parents must obtain a full and final adoption under Nicaraguan law before the child can immigrate to the United States. Prospective adoptive parents can expect a lengthy process to adopt a child in Nicaragua.
Important Notice: The adoption process in Nicaragua is lengthy and fraught with delays and uncertainty. The entire adoption process - when successful - can take two to three years, with twelve to eighteen months of that processing requiring the adoptive parent's physical presence in Nicaragua.
Nicaraguan law does not allow for a Nicaraguan child to travel to the United States to be adopted. Therefore, prospective adoptive parent(s) must obtain a full and final adoption under Nicaraguan law before the child can immigrate to the United States.
Please note that Nicaraguan adoption law requires a three- to six-month fostering period that must take place in Nicaragua. During this time, prospective adoptive parent(s) are expected to live with and care for the child in Nicaragua. Nicaraguan law prioritizes adoptions by Nicaraguan citizens, meaning that Nicaraguan parent(s) willing and eligible to adopt a child might jump to the head of the queue in front of non-Nicaraguans who may have already been waiting months to adopt a child. If adopting more than one child, be sure all paperwork is filed simultaneously. If not, delays will occur.
The Nicaraguan Ministry of the Family has a history of abrupt staffing changes and requesting documents from adoptive parents not initially required as part of the process. It is strongly suggested that prospective adoptive parent(s) hire a Nicaraguan attorney to assist them in keeping their adoption case on track. Few Nicaraguan government officials speak English. Please see below for a list of attorneys registered with the U.S. Embassy in Managua.
- Who Can Adopt
To bring an adopted child to the United States from Nicaragua, you must first be found eligible to adopt by the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government agency responsible for making this determination is U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). Learn more.
In addition to U.S. requirements for prospective adoptive parent(s), Nicaragua also has the following eligibility requirements:
- RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS: Prospective adoptive parent(s) must either be Nicaraguan citizens, have a permanent residence in Nicaragua and plan to remain in Nicaragua until the child reaches 21 years of age, or be U.S. citizens with approved I-600A or I-600 forms.
- AGE REQUIREMENTS: Officially, prospective adoptive parent(s) must be between 25 and 40 years of age. However, the Ministry of the Family has been known to be flexible on this requirement on a case-by-case basis.
- MARRIAGE REQUIREMENTS: Both singles and married couples are eligible to adopt. However, the process can be significantly longer for single parent(s).
- Who Can Be Adopted
Nicaragua has specific requirements that a child must meet in order to be eligible for adoption. Generally, the child must not have living parent(s) or extended family members willing to provide care. For example, if a child is living with an aunt and uncle, no matter how dire the financial situation, that child is not an orphan under Nicaraguan law and may not be an orphan under U.S. law either. Please contact Nicaragua's Ministry of the Family should you require more details on what qualifies a child as an orphan under Nicaraguan law. In addition to Nicaraguan requirements, a child must meet the definition of an orphan under U.S. law for you to bring him or her to the United States.
Under Nicaraguan law, adoptions must be completed before the child turns 15 years old. However, if the child has been under the care of the prospective adoptive parents for at least three years the adoption can be completed up until the time the child turns 21.
Under U.S. law, the final adoption petition must be filed before the child turns 16 years old unless the child has a biological sibling under age 16 that is also being adopted.
- How To Adopt
Nicaragua's Adoption Authority
Ministry of the Family (MiFamilia) - their guidelines (Spanish)
Adoption Law (Ley de Adopción) - guiding document (Spanish)
The Process
The process for adopting a child from Nicaragua generally includes the following steps:
- Choose an Adoption Service Provider
- Apply to be found eligible to adopt with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS): file an I-600A
- Be matched with a child
- Adopt the child in Nicaragua (expected time frame in country: 12-18 months)
- Apply to find your child eligible for adoption: I-600
- Apply at the U.S. Embassy in Managua for your child's immigrant visa
- Choose an Adoption Service Provider:
The first step in adopting a child from Nicaragua is usually to select a licensed agency in the United States that can help with your adoption. Adoption service providers must be licensed by the U.S. state in which they operate. Learn more about choosing the right agency.
- Apply to be Found Eligible to Adopt: I-600A:
To bring an adopted child from Nicaragua to the United States, you must apply to be found eligible to adopt (Form I-600A) by USCIS.
Nicaragua's Ministry of the Family will verify that the prospective adoptive parent(s) have been approved by USCIS to adopt a child from abroad and that they have translated and notarized copies of the home study conducted in the United States. In addition to meeting the U.S. requirements for adoptive parent(s), you need to meet the requirements of Nicaragua as described in the "Who can adopt" section of this flyer.
The I-600A is valid for 18 months from the approval date and can be extended once prior to its expiration for an additional 18 months at no extra charge. If the adoption is not completed before the extension of the I-600A expires the prospective parents will have to file a new I-600A and pay the fee.
- Be Matched with a Child:
If you are eligible to adopt, and a child is available for intercountry adoption, the Ministry of the Family will place you on a waiting list until a child is identified. It is important to note that the Ministry of the Family will go through a number of steps to ensure that the child has been abandoned and that no biological family members are willing to take in the child. During this time, you will remain on the waiting list pending further processing. The Ministry of the Family will then provide you with a referral to an eligible child. Each family must decide for itself whether or not it will be able to meet the needs of a particular child and provide a permanent family placement for the referred child. Learn more about making this critical decision.
The child must be eligible to be adopted under Nicaragua's requirements, as described in the "Who" section of this flyer. The child must also meet the definition of an orphan under U.S. immigration law. Learn more.
- Adopt the Child in Nicaragua:
Many prospective adoptive parent(s) hire a Nicaraguan attorney to assist them in initiating and completing the adoption process with the Ministry of the Family. This is advisable due to the complexity of the Nicaraguan legal system and the shortage of English speakers. A list of attorneys is available from the U.S. Embassy in Managua.
FEES: The Ministry of the Family does not charge a fee for adoptions. Typical associated charges for the process will include personal legal fees and fees for obtaining notarized legal documents. These fees generally range from $1,200 to $1,500 USD. Due to the required 3- to 6-month fostering period in Nicaragua, also consider the cost of living in Nicaragua during that time period and the potential time away from work.
TIMELINE: The process for finalizing the adoption in Nicaragua generally follows this path and can take 12-18 months to complete in-country.
The adoptive parent(s) file an application with the Ministry of the Family stating their intent to adopt from Nicaragua.
Documents required:
Notice of approval (I-171H) issued by USCIS
Home study (I-600A fulfills this requirement)
Letter addressed to Dra. Maria de los "ngeles Reyes, Directora General de Adopción (Director General for Adoptions)
Birth certificate(s) of prospective adoptive parent(s)*
Marriage certificate of prospective adoptive parent(s) (if applicable)*
Medical examination of prospective adoptive parent(s)
Letter(s) of employment for the prospective adoptive parent(s)
U.S. police record (FBI fingerprints fulfill this requirement)
Psychological evaluation by a U.S.-based adoption agency
Two 2" x 2" color photographs of the prospective adoptive parent(s) with a white background
Letter from a U.S.-based adoption agency indicating that it will follow-up with the case in the United States once the adoption has been completed in Nicaragua. Nicaragua's Ministry of the Family requires a U.S.-based adoption agency to conduct at least two family visits during the first year after the adoption and to report on the welfare of the child. These reports need to be sent directly to the Ministry of the Family's adoption advisory council ( Consejo de Adopción)
NOTE: Documents with a * next to them must be authenticated for use abroad. Learn how to get documents authenticated for use abroad. Additional documents may be requested.
Once all the data is evaluated and necessary investigations performed, the case is presented to the Ministry of the Family's Consejo de Adopción for a decision on the parent(s)' eligibility to adopt. At this time they will match the parent(s) with a child available for adoption in Nicaragua.
Once the primary application is approved, the prospective parent(s) will enter a mandatory three- to six-month fostering period in Nicaragua with the child. During this period, at least one of the adoptive parent(s) must live with the child and provide all physical and emotional support for the child. Often parent(s) who are not normally resident in Nicaragua choose to stay in an extended-stay hotel in Nicaragua or rent a home. Delays are possible during this time period.
Once that period is successfully completed, the Consejo de Adopción will meet again for a final decision on the adoption. If the adoption is approved by the Ministry of the Family, it will move forward to court approval.
Once the Ministry of the Family approves the adoption, the decision is then sent to a judge to formally order the final adoption decree, usually within two weeks after the final council approval. The judge has the authority to deny a case when there is a concern for the child's welfare. The Nicaraguan court issues the final adoption decree.
When the final adoption decree is issued by the Nicaraguan court, you will be able to obtain a birth certificate (at least two original copies are recommended) from the Central Registry in Managua with the adoptive parent(s) surnames. You should also receive a Decree of Abandonment for the child.
Your child is not yet a U.S. citizen, so he or she will need a Nicaraguan passport. As soon as the new birth certificate has been issued, a passport should be obtained from Nicaraguan Immigration (approximately $20 USD). The normal turnaround time for a Nicaraguan passport is one to two weeks. Expedited same-day passport service is generally available for an extra charge (approximately $20 USD). Parent(s) will also need to obtain an "exit visa" from Nicaraguan Immigration in order to leave the country with the child (approximately $20 USD). The Nicaraguan exit visa is valid for 30 days and parents should wait until after receiving the U.S. immigrant visa before applying for a Nicaraguan exit visa.
- Apply for the Child's Immigrant Visa at U.S. Embassy, Managua:
Once you have obtained the final adoption decree from the Ministry of the Family, your child's new birth certificate and Nicaraguan passport, contact the Immigrant Visa unit to receive the Adoption Packet 4 which explains the following next steps in greater detail. The IV unit can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Adoption Packet 4 includes a detailed list of all the final documents/examinations and where to obtain them. Briefly, the following documents will be required:
I-600A approval notice with a copy of the valid U.S. approved home study
Decree of Abandonment by the Ministry of the Family
Final Nicaraguan adoption decree
Child's valid Nicaraguan passport issued with adoptive parent(s)' surname(s)
Medical examination for the child (certified physician information is provided in the applicant's appointment letter)
Three 2"x 2" color photographs with a white background. Photos should be a frontal picture of the child's face
Unsigned Form DS-260 completed with information regarding the child (not the parent(s))
Copies of your last federal tax return as filed with the Internal Revenue Service, including, if applicable, 1040 A, W-2 forms, 1099 forms, and all IRS Schedules. The U.S. Embassy requires adopting parent(s) to provide a signed, but not notarized Affidavit of Support (I -864 EZ) and proof of current employment
Filing fee for the immigrant visa application
The U.S. passport(s) of the adoptive parent(s)
The I-600 petition must be filed and the associated fees paid either by sending the documentation directly to USCIS in the United States or at U.S. Embassy, Managua at the time of the immigrant visa interview. If filing at the Embassy, fill out the applicant section of the document and the Consular officer will complete the official information section at the interview. Learn how.
After the Adoption Packet 4 has been completed, contact the IV Unit again at email@example.com to schedule your visa interview. Immigrant visa interviews are conducted Monday through Friday from 7:30am to 12:00pm. At the interview, the adoptive parent(s) will be required to present all of the aforementioned documents as well as the child.
If the adoptive parent(s) are missing any documentation, the consular officer will inform them to return with the documentation at a later date. If the visa is approved, the child will receive their passport with their immigrant visa along with their immigration packet, which includes all of the aforementioned certificates and forms, within 1-2 working days. The visa is valid for six months from approval.
- Bring Your Child Home
Once your child has received their passport and immigration packet, they are able to travel to the United States. DO NOT open the immigration packet. This packet will be opened at the port of entry by immigration officials once the adoptive parent(s) and child arrive in the United States.
Child Citizenship Act
For adoptions finalized in Nicaragua by U.S. citizen parent(s) legally resident in Nicaragua: The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 allows your new child to acquire U.S. citizenship automatically when he or she enters the United States as a lawful permanent resident. Learn more about the Child Citizenship Act.
- Traveling Abroad
Applying for Your U.S. Passport
To travel to Nicaragua, a valid U.S. passport is required for entry and exit. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue, or verify U.S. passports.
Getting or renewing a passport is easy. The Passport Application Wizard will help you determine which passport form you need, help you to complete the form online, estimate your payment and generate the form for you to print-all in one place.
Obtaining Your Visa
In addition to a U.S. passport, you may also need to obtain a visa. U.S. citizens are allowed to enter Nicaragua for a period of 90 days without a visa. Should you need to stay longer, for example during the fostering period, you can apply for a visa from Nicaraguan Immigration while in country.
To find information about obtaining a visa for Nicaragua, see the Department of State's Country Specific Information webpage.
Staying Safe on Your Trip
Before you travel, it's always a good practice to investigate the local conditions, laws, political landscape, and culture of the country. The State Department's website is a good place to start.
The Department of State provides Country Specific Information for every country in the world on various issues, including health conditions, crime, unusual currency or entry requirements, and any areas of instability.
Staying in Touch on Your Trip
When traveling during the adoption process, we encourage you to register your trip with the Department of State. Whether there's a family emergency in the United States or a crisis in Nicaragua, registration assists the U.S. Embassy or Consulate in reaching you.
Registration is free and can be done online.
- After Adoption
What does Nicaragua require of the adoptive parent(s) after the adoption?
Nicaragua's Ministry of the Family requires a U.S.-based adoption agency to conduct at least two family visits during the first year after adoption and to report on the welfare of the child. These reports need to be sent directly to the Ministry of the Family's Consejo de Adopción.
We strongly urge you to comply with the regulations of the Ministry of the Family and to complete all post-adoption requirements in a timely manner. Your adoption agency may be able to help you with this process. Your cooperation will help ensure that adoptions remain open to other U.S. citizens in the future.
What resources are available to assist families after the adoption?
Many adoptive parent(s) find it important to find support after the adoption. Take advantage of all the resources available to your family-whether it's another adoptive family, a support group, an advocacy organization, or religious or community services.
Here are some good places to start your support group search:

Thanks for operating Stadium today, and we love the extra chairs on Star this year!Meadows: Thanks! The two are related, with Stadium providing such a direct way to get back to Star, the extra chairs helps accommodate the additional guests (especially on epic powder days like Friday!)
I see the ad for the spring pass says it's good through April 28th. Is April 28th the last day of operations for this season?Meadows: We haven't announced any additional days beyond April 28th at this time. But we are evaluating what kind of limited operations we could offer successfully. We'll have more information on that in the next few weeks. Weather, conditions and turn out all factor into our decision.
Dear Mount Hood Meadows,Why can't all lifts stay open until 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM, especially lifts like Cascade Express, Visita Express, Hood River Express, and Shooting Star Express? I understand that it would make the staff work longer but hey we can have 10 hour shifts. Why not? Why not have a Daylight Savings Time schedule where all lifts stay open until 5:00 PM or 6:00 PM. I feel we need to take the extra daylight we get with Daylight Savings Time. Hope you're all doing well.Meadows: Thanks Harrison. We've considered extending hours, however, most of our guests prefer earlier riding, particularly when spring conditions tend to get warm and soft in the afternoon. Unfortunately there would be too many days of operating lifts past the current 4 PM close for only a handful of people, which just isn't viable. See you on the mountain!

CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- An areal flood watch is in affect for Tuesday night. Some roads have already been blocked off throughout Peoria. However, these showers didn't damper the excitement for record breaking temperatures Tuesday afternoon.
"This is the end of January and it is very muggy. It feels like spring in New Orleans or something. A person doesn't actually need to take a vacation. You can just be right here," said Chicago resident Camilla Asaly.
Tuesday, Central Illinois reached the highest recorded temperature in January for nearly 100 years.
The high was 64 degrees, beating an almost century old record of 61.
However, as the day progressed, the warm January weather brought in a storm system that didn't feel much like a vacation at all.
Peoria has recorded about 1.5 inches and counting.This rain is expected to put a dent in our still moderate drought status.
However, public works officials across Central Illinois had to make sure they were prepared for street flooding.
"We'll send out crews ahead of time, both, to clean a lot of the lines out and make sure we minimize the potential for backup. Also, we check those intersections that are always flooding," said Bloomington Public Works Director Jim Karch.
Flooding is not the only problem they will have to keep an eye out for.
A mixture of rain and snow is expected to hit Central Illinois Wednesday.
"The timing is very important for when you start putting salt down. If you start putting salt down too quickly, it just washes away, it's ineffective, and it's a waste of money. If you wait too long, then bonds begin to from between the ice and the pavement, and it is harder to get that bond to break," said Karch.
Tuesday's spring-like conditions were only temporary.
By Thursday, temperatures are expected to be back down to single digits.

Manchester suspect denies stalking ex, says meeting was by chance
Webber said he was in the library to charge his cell phone when the woman walked in with her boyfriend and a third person.
"It was an accidental sighting," he said, adding that he left without contacting her and there was no intent to contact her.
He said she lives on Montgomery Street and there is a West Side library branch, so why would he expect her to come across the river to the main library.
The stalking charge alleges he approached her and spoke to her. The charge is a felony because of several previous stalking convictions, according to a police prosecutor.
Webber is currently out on bail from Hillsborough Superior Court on a felony second-degree assault charge that alleges he shoved the same woman, who was then seven months pregnant, so hard that she bounced off a truck and fell to the ground, injuring her back October 30, 2012. Webber was convicted in district court of stalking the woman in October 2012.
A police prosecutor sought bail of $10,000 cash/surety on the new stalking charge, but Lyons set bail at $5,000 cash/surety, with conditions barring contact with the alleged victim and barring Webber from her residence.
A probable cause hearing was set for April 25.
Second day in court
A Lyndeborough man who was arraigned Monday in Circuit Court-Manchester District Division on a simple assault charge alleging he struck his girlfriend in the face with a closed fist and pushed her to the ground was back in Circuit Court Tuesday on a stalking charge that alleges he spoke with the woman while at court Monday.
Gregory Cormier, 21, of 47 Glass Factory Road, pleaded innocent to the stalking charge and trial was set for June 19, the same day as trial on the assault charge.
Because he allegedly violated bail conditions on the original charge by speaking to the victim, police prosecutors filed a motion to revoke his bail and a hearing was set for Wednesday morning.
Failed to appear in two cities
A city woman who failed to appear for arraignment Feb. 23 in Manchester District Court on a felony charge of receiving stolen property and misdemeanor theft by deception was arraigned Tuesday on those charges as well as a charge of driving without a license for which she failed to appear in a Nashua court.
Bail on the Manchester charges was set at $2,360 cash/surety for Cassandra Jean Gagnon, 23, of 480 Lake Ave., a detainee who fell asleep while waiting for arraignment. A probable cause hearing on the felony was set for May 1 and trial was set for June 25 on the Manchester charges.
Bail was set at $500 cash/surety on the Nashua warrant, with an April 25 court date there.
Domestic dispute draws attention
Officers who saw a vehicle pull into the parking lot of the 7-11 at 557 Maple St. at about 3 a.m. Tuesday and a woman abruptly exit the vehicle with some bags, appearing upset, alerted other officers and followed the vehicle as it left the lot. When it drifted into the parking lanes on Maple Street, they stopped it and identified the driver as Michael Bart, 45, of 15 Warren St., Concord.
Two other officers made contact with the woman standing in the parking lot at the 7-11 and determined the man and woman had been involved in a domestic dispute.
During the course of the investigation, police found a loaded .32 caliber revolver in Bart's trunk and he was charged with possession of a concealed weapon without a permit.
The woman, Stephanie Smith, 26, also of 15 Warren St., Concord, was found in possession of a syringe containing a small amount of heroin, and was charged with felony possession of a narcotic.
Both Bart and Smith were arraigned later Tuesday morning in Manchester District Court. Bail for Bart was set at $2,500 cash/surety, with a trial date of May 9.
Bail for Smith was set at $5,000 cash/surety. Smith was convicted of theft by unauthorized taking in November 2012 and received a suspended 12-month jail sentence on a prostitution conviction earlier this year.
A probable cause hearing on the felony was set for April 25.
Won't waive extradition
At his appearance Tuesday in Manchester District Court, Adeland Phaneuf, 45, of 248 E. High St., refused to waive extradition to Rhode Island, where he is accused of failing to appear in court for arraignment on a burglary charge.
Phaneuf was arrested Monday after police responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle on an off-road trail behind 672 Huse Road found three men trying to free a Jeep from the mud and identified one of the men as Phaneuf. Officers determined there was a Rhode Island warrant for burglary and arrested him.
Police prosecutor Capt. Robert Cunha said Phaneuf's Rhode Island record dates back to 1987 and includes breaking and entering, forgery and counterfeiting, larceny and receiving stolen property. Phaneuf said he hasn't been arrested since 2006. As for the burglary charge, he told Judge William Lyons: "I never had a court date." He said he'd called court twice asking if there was a warrant, but was told no.
Cunha requested $10,000 cash/surety bail, but Lyons set bail at $5,000 cash/surety, with conditions barring Phaneuf from leaving the state except to go to Rhode Island.
A hearing on the fugitive charge was set for April 24.

ELGIN, Okla._An Oklahoma Representative has introduced a bill that would prevent schools from punishing students for bringing toy guns to school or simulating a gun with their fingers.
The "Common Sense" Zero Tolerance Act was proposed by Republican Representative Sally Kern, she did it as a reaction to events in other states where young children were disciplined for apparently harmless actions, like chewing a pop tart in the shape of a gun, or drawing pictures of a weapon.
Taking a closer look at the bill, it's easy to see that it even goes beyond banning punishment. It says no school employee can humiliate, intimidate or be condescending to a student.
"I really don't feel like there is a need for this bill, I do not feel like the bill will pass. I feel like it will be lobbied against because it does take away the local control of the school district and we do not need more mandates on discipline."
Elgin Public School Superintendent, Tom Crimmins said they already have principals and teachers to decide whether or not a student should be punished for their actions.
"We feel like we have local control and polices in place to deal with any of those actions and that we use common sense by our teachers and administrators anytime we have a situation of this nature," said Crimmins.
Republican Representative Ann Coody agrees with Kern's idea that there should be a common sense law for these situations, but she still thinks there should be local control.
"I like the idea of having an administrator to be able to make a judgment call on whether that student meant that to be a violation of the law or the rule of the school or whether he was too young to really understand," said Coody.
Coody believes the bill should be tailored to only include younger children because there is no reason for a high school student to bring a toy gun to school. Crimmins said it's important for parents to know their children's school polices and to communicate it to them.
"Parents need to teach children the responsibility of dealing with weapons, whether they're real weapons or toy weapons because either one of them can get you in a lot of trouble," said Crimmins.
Kern's measure also mentions clothing, and prevents punishing a student for wearing something that supports second amendment rights or organizations.

An airman deployed in Africa returns to Las Vegas' Nellis Air Force Base and meets his newborn son for the first time.
"This is Fulton Reed Schott; he was born on Christmas Day, Dec. 25th. He was 9 pounds 3 ounces. This is 6 weeks today and he'll be meeting dad for the first time," said Shelby Schott.
The adorable Fulton Schott was the first baby to be born on the base on Christmas.
It's the 3rd child for mom Shelby, but the first birth without her husband at her side.
"I would say the before was the hardest: the waiting, anticipating it was coming and we didn't know when. But luckily, we got to Facetime during the birth, so he made it just in time," said Schott.
After months of deployment with the 823rd maintenance squadron and days of traveling back, the Staff Sergeant locks onto his target and moves in as dad for the first time.
And as he saw his son, the little boy pooped.
"Did he really..." asked Staff Sargent Daniel Schott. "Hey I'm daddy, what's up dude?"
"How did it feel to hold your son fir the first time?" FOX's Jon Castagnino asked.
"Awesome. Really small. I'm used to bigger kids but awesome. Finally get to see him in person," said Schott.
Fulton's birth delayed the family's Christmas celebration. Dad has two other kids to get home to. They don't know he's coming.
"I wanna see their faces; they'll flip out it'll be fun," said Schott, full of anticipation.
At the family's home, Santa makes an appearance, while dad gets into a big box outside. The kids unwrap the biggest present they've ever seen.
"Can you tell me how excited you were when you saw dad in that big box out there?" asked FOX's Jon Castagnino.
"I got scared and ran in the house. I missed him a lot," said one of the kids.
This is the first moment the family, now five, spent together.

Into The Dark: The My Lai Massacre
Charged With Murder
By all accounts ever published about Lt. William "Rusty" Calley, 24, he was an ordinary kind of guy. Raised in Florida, the son of a Navy veteran, he came from a stable background. He attended Palm Beach Junior College in 1963 but he did not receive a degree by the time he entered the Army. His grades were undistinguished and he flunked out "with grades in seven courses of two Cs, one D and four Fs." His desire for education, like a lot of other things in his young life, faded away and by 1964, he had stopped attending college altogether. Calley had no special talents, no record of deviant behavior and was considered a typical American. He was short in stature, just 5'3," neither good nor bad looking. A newspaper once referred to Calley as "the nice boy charged with murder." .
Calley had many jobs before he entered the service. He worked for an insurance company as an investigator, a train conductor and washed cars at a car wash. He eventually drifted to San Francisco in 1966 where he lived for several months until he received notice from the Selective Service System. The letter said that his draft status was being reevaluated and he should report for a medical examination. Calley started the long drive back home in July, 1966. By the time he reached New Mexico, his car broke down. Calley had no money, no job and no way of getting back home to Miami. With the prospect of a limited and uncertain future staring him in the face, he stumbled into an Albuquerque recruitment center on July 26, 1966 and enlisted in the Army.
After he completed Basic Training at Fort Benning, Georgia, Calley was transferred to Fort Lewis, Washington to receive training as a clerk. Not thrilled with the prospect of becoming an Army clerk, Calley applied for Officer Candidates School (O.C.S.), a six-month training program that could promote a lowly ranked E-2 into the rank of a 2nd Lieutenant, an officer who could command a platoon of 30 men, or at certain times, a company consisting of 200.
Upon graduation from O.C.S. in 1967, Calley was dispatched to Schofield Barracks, Hawaii where he trained with the men of Charlie Company of the 1st Battalion, 20th Infantry. In early December 1967, the company, as a whole, was sent to Vietnam. "Charlie was really made for war! We were mean, we were ugly," Calley said of the men in his command. In Vietnam, they became part of the famed 23rd Infantry Division, also called the Americal Division, whose headquarters were in the sprawling base camp at Chu Lai on the windy shores of the South China Sea.
But soon, the consensus among members of Calley's platoon in Vietnam was almost unanimous: they did not respect him. One of his riflemen had this to say about Calley's abilities: "I wonder how he got through Officer's Candidate School. He couldn't read no darn map and a compass would confuse his ass." To some, he had the hostile insecurity of someone who felt that he was too short in stature. An infantryman in the 1st platoon said: "Calley is just gung-ho and has no common sense...because he is small he must have been pushed around all his life by bigger people. Once he got in the Army he found he had a lot of authority." Later, another soldier told the Army Criminal Investigation Division (C.I.D.) that Calley was so distrusted by members of his own unit that they offered a reward to whomever would shoot him. No one had any respect for him as a platoon leader. His own commanding officer, Captain "Mad Dog" Medina, a career Army officer, frequently ridiculed Calley in front of his own men. "The captain called him Lieutenant Shithead regularly," said another G.I. .
On the night of March 15, 1968, the men and commanders of Charlie Company gathered outside Captain Medina's "hooch". That very day, the company had a memorial service for Sgt. George Cox, a popular N.C.O. who was killed by a booby trap while on patrol near QL-1 the day before. The men were demoralized, angry and frustrated with an enemy that so far, had gotten the best of them.
Captain Medina briefed the company on the next day's assault on My Lai. What was said at this meeting and exactly what the orders were concerning the mission has remained in dispute. Some of those at the meeting say that Medina gave direct orders to kill all the civilians. "He (Medina) stated that My Lai #4 was a suspected VC stronghold and that he had orders to kill everybody that was in the village," testified Spec. 4 Max Hutson of the 2nd Platoon . Others disagreed. Pfc. Gregory Olsen remembered the briefing differently and testified to the Army C.I.D.: "Captain Medina would never have given an order to kill women and children." Whatever was said, and it is impossible to determine exactly what orders were issued, the men of Charlie Company saw the next day's mission as an opportunity to pay back the Viet Cong for their booby traps, their mine fields and the blood of the 11th Brigade.

1. Okay, so where's everyone going to end up after Sens-Bruins Sunday night? There are three ways the Eastern Conference can shake out based on tonight's results. Let's list them again.
If Boston wins in 60 minutes: The Bruins will win the Northeast Division and take on the Islanders in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals. Montreal will drop to fourth and host the Maple Leafs. The Senators stay in eighth and, oh boy, get a date with the Penguins in the first round.
If Boston wins in overtime or a shootout: Boston wins the Northeast, but the Senators will likely be able to stick around in Beantown if they want, as they'll hold a tiebreaker over the Islanders and get the seventh seed, facing the Bruins in round one. The Leafs would still face the Habs, and the Isles are thrown into the Penguins' den.
If Ottawa wins, period: Ottawa still gets the seventh seed, but everything else shakes up. The Canadiens will win the Northeast Division and host the Senators in the Conference Quarters. The Bruins stay in fourth and will host the Toronto Maple Leafs. The Islanders will be forced to take on the Penguins.
2. Where does everyone want to end up after Sens-Bruins Sunday night? The Bruins have won four one-goal games over the Senators so far this season, so maybe an overtime/shootout win might be the best ending for Boston. Though everyone secretly thinks they can take the Islanders, and the Leafs often look appetizing because you can dominate them in terms of shots. The problem right now isn't those other teams, it's Boston, who's heading down the stretch on a far from fear-striking 4-4-2 record.
3. Is Milan Lucic playoff ready? The man they call Looch was scratched from the Boston lineup just eight days and four games ago. He stands at 26 points, far from what you'd like -- even in a shortened season -- from a man coming off consecutive 60-point seasons. Plus, there's that fat contract he's owed starting next season. That said, he potted a goal and added an assist in Washington on Saturday night, so maybe he's getting himself right again.
4. Is Ottawa playoff ready? The Senators have lost three out of four, including a dispirited 2-1 loss at home to the Flyers on Saturday night. They're ending on a 5-5-0 stretch that doesn't exactly exude confidence either. This all despite getting starting goaltender Craig Anderson back. If a returning Erik Karlsson doesn't jump them, what will?
5. Jeez, isn't it a bummer Columbus couldn't get in? Okay, I'll admit, I couldn't come up with five questions for one game, especially one that isn't do-or-die for either club involved. But man, I really wanted to see the Blue Jackets get in over the Wild, especially after Minnesota wasted that late power play opportunity just killing the clock. You can't say they backed into the post-season, because they did it by winning a last game in which they controlled their destiny. But they kind of backed into winning the game. It's very annoying, especially after seeing this photo.

Mr Walsh, Southampton
I have never used this type of information before and my knowledge of annuities was non-existent so finding your annuity search engine and the associated information so straightforward was such a relief. Please don't change anything you might just spoil a good thing.
Mrs Davies, Stafford
Excellent service - from using the excellent website comparison tool, through follow up emails and phone calls, to encouragement to complete health questionnaire to final quotes and explanations. As a result, I increased the annuity by almost 15% over what my original pension provider was offering.
Mrs Watchorn, Chelmsford
It offers a straightforward way of finding annuity quotes - all in one place. So it saves a good deal of time and worry about (possibly) having overlooked a potential "good deal".

By Jane Nambi
NRM held and emergency caucus meeting at the Entebbe State House and addressing the party members, President Museveni cited the reasons as to why NRM is losing its support in the country.
Poor election monitoring of by-elections by National Resistance Movement (NRM), failure of government agencies to inform the public about government programs and achievements is one of the reasons that President Museveni identified.
NRM has lost at several by-elections in the country, the most recent and most recognised being the Ishaka-Bushenyi elections which saw NRM candidate lose to opposition, FDC.
Museveni cited poor service delivery and police violence as another reason as to why they were losing support. Police violence has been an issue ever since the Ingrid Turinawe situation which brought about a lot of up roar from human rights activists around the world.
"We are losing because of intrigue and infighting as a result of the unprincipled culture of political careerism among party cadres. They consider politics as a career instead of a privilege to serve humanity," he noted. "The reason why many civil servants are opting for political offices is not to serve the masses but to draw hefty salaries. And such people are least likely to advance party interests," he added.
The real reason however can be attributed to the need for change by the people. Museveni has been in power since 1986 and he is still holding power. Children have grown into adults and have children who are already in their prime youth, (early 20′s) and they are still seeing the same man they saw way back when they were still children in power.
It can also be attributed to the increasing standard of living. With KCCA using an iron hand to 'clean' the city, many people are left jobless while the common man has to strive to start buying previously cheap commodities from shops which over charge because they have to take into account their rent arrears.
These and more reasons are making people who previously supported NRM vehemently start doubting if they can hold onto their end of the bargain especially if they have failed to fulfill promises made as far back as 2001.

04/24/2012: "Emmy-Nominated Film On Orcas Moves To New Location After Complaints"
(Pam Pearson -contributed photo)Pam Pearson is the Senior Vice President and General Manager of KCPQ-TV (Q13 Fox) in Seattle, and was scheduled to present the first public showing of the Emmy-nominated investigative TV series, "Orcas: Are We Loving Them to Death?" to an expected sellout crowd at the Friday Harbor House on Thursday; but, not going to happen; at least not at the Friday Harbor House.
The Friday Harbor House decided to back out of their agreement with sponsor Orca Relief Citizens' Alliance after complaints from some in the whale watching business. This resulted in a mad scramble to quickly find a new location, but the show will go on, at 7:00pm on Thursday, April 26 at the Sea Shepherd Gallery, 155 Nichols St., in Friday Harbor.
Seating is limited, and tickets may be obtained by contacting Jennifer Lee at 378.8628, or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com .
Following the film and discussion, there will be a reception for premium ticket holders with Pearson and Orca Relief staff. Ticket prices are $15 for the movie and discussion, and $50 for both the film and the later reception. All proceeds of the event go to the Orca Relief, the only non-profit organization chartered with reducing Orca death rates.
Mark Anderson, Orca Relief Chair issued the following statement: "We want to specifically thank our friends at Sea Shepherd for making their space available for this event, for their ongoing concern for the world's marine mammals, and for their courage in the face of threats by those making money from whale exploitation, worldwide."
So what happen? Chef Kyle Nicholson, who also wears the "Inn Keeper" hat, said he had received a number of complaints from commercial whale watching operations that the film cast their industry in a bad light, and would have a negative impact on attracting tourists to the islands to watch the whales.
Nicholson said he had not been aware the film was "controversial," and did not wish to put the hotel in the middle of a controversy, so he canceled the showing in the banquet room, and a reception at Bluff restaurant that was to follow.
The Island Guardian contacted a number of the owners of commercial whale watching companies and found the controversy is alive and well even within their industry, with some operators stating that while then had not seen the film, they would not see it, and did not think it should be shown at the Friday Harbor House because it was -as more than one stated -"factually incorrect", and "slanted" against the industry.
Two other operators would not return phone calls, and one said he had heard about the move to kill the showing, but was not part of it, and his policy was to not get involved.
And then there was the owner of the rather provocatively named "Kayak Quest For Killer Whale," Mark Lewis. Mr. Lewis is a respected naturalist and co-author of the "Birds of San Juan Islands," and said he was not a fan of the whale watching boats.
Lewis said that Q13-Fox had run two short excerpts from the film on channel 13, which he had in fact seen, that showed a whale watching boat operator unknowingly talking to one of the undercover TV reporters, stating that when the regulators were not around, they ignored the stay-back rules.
The film is "The best TV series made to date on the daily experiences of our local whales," according to Orca Relief, that came about "after several major population crashes in the local killer whale population, the Q13 FOX (KCPQ-TV) News team reviewed the science and then went undercover on local whale watch expeditions to uncover the causes behind increased Orca deaths.'
Lewis said people should see the film, and that the boats have become a problem, following the Orcas from sunup to sunset, and the constant pursuing "is bound to increase stress" from the noise and pollutants the power boats release in the water. For Lewis the power boats are only one part of a problem the government is seemly not interested in effectively doing anything about, but they have been good "at wasting money, while the whale population is in dire straights."
(Orca Relief Citizens' Alliance is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. Orca Relief was the first organization to predict the decline in the Southern Resident Whale population, and the first to conduct scientific research its causes. The organization's charter is to discover and reduce death rates among the local killer whales of Puget Sound. For more information on Orca Relief, go to www.orcarelief.org.)

Fearful of their country's ongoing civil war, a Syrian mother and son have gained asylum in the United States, thanks to West Virginia University College of Law students and professors.
The clients, who prefer to remain anonymous, endured harassment and lived in a dangerous part of the country, where "bullets whizzed by their home" at any given moment.
Four students with the College of Law's Immigration Clinic helped the family gain asylum, adding to a list of cases the students have won since the clinic was created in 1996.
"The mother couldn't leave the house," said Dominque Razzook, a third-year law student who worked on the case. "She spent most of her time in the bathroom of her house hiding.
"She came home from work one day when supporters of the government regime attacked members of the community in the street with large sticks. She ran away and fell down, bruising her eye."
The Syrian civil war grew out of the Arab Spring movement in March 2011 as a conflict between forces loyal to the Ba'ath Party and those seeking to oust it. Since then, as many as 56,000 people have been killed — half of them civilians.
About 1.2 million Syrians have also been displaced within the country, according to the United Nations, and tens of thousands have been imprisoned and tortured.
"It is precisely this kind of case, and this kind of success, that makes our sometimes painstaking and difficult work so worthwhile," said Michael Blumenthal, co-director of the clinic and visiting professor at the College of Law, "and our sincere congratulations and appreciation go out to all those who worked on this case under severe end-of-the-semester time constraints and pressures."
The son came to the United States on a student visa to pursue a college education. He had hoped to take knowledge earned in the U.S. back to the Middle East, but those goals took a drastic turn with the emergence of the war.
His mother came to visit him in the U.S. during an outbreak of violence in Syria. Because of the dire situation at home, she decided to stay.
In an affidavit, the son described how several of his friends, who peacefully protested in Syria, were tortured and killed by the government.
"My friend since middle school and a past roommate was shot and killed by a sniper after trying to deliver food and medicine to the damaged neighborhoods in Syria," the client wrote. "So, not only are (Syrian President Bashar) al-Assad's forces murdering the political protesters, they are also murdering those who merely provide aid to the victims of this violence."
The client also said a friend who rode around in his car to protest through a loudspeaker was detained and tortured to death by police. Another friend was arrested for possessing signs that said "Free Syria" and "Stop Killing the People." He, too, was detained and killed.
"Understandably, no one wants to go back to the chaos there," Blumenthal said. "Their lives would've been in danger if they'd gone back. We were determined to help them out."
"People currently living in the neighborhood where the mother lived are now living in abandoned schools with no food, water or electricity," Razzook said. "To get water for drinking, these people have resorted to collecting rain water. If she were to return to Syria, she would likely be living in a school under similar conditions. She also could be arrested upon her arrival and held hostage."
The Immigration Clinic has served international residents throughout West Virginia and western Pennsylvania with deportation, asylum and other legal proceedings. Over the years, students have won political asylum cases for clients from Afghanistan, Iraq, Egypt and other countries. Earlier this year, law school students gained asylum for Yuri Pushkarev, a Russian blogger who had been critical of President Vladimir Putin and fearful that his country's government would retaliate.
Immigrants must meet certain poverty guidelines to receive help from the clinic. It operates only during the fall and spring semesters.
"It is a great source of satisfaction to the clinic and our students that we are able to successfully support clients with very little in the way of financial and other resources in claiming their rights against an enormous bureaucracy with massive resources," Blumenthal said. "Many of these people would be left without recourse but for our assistance, and I'm extremely proud of our students for having successfully taken on so many of these cases against sometimes appreciable odds, and requiring a great deal of administrative and other work."
The clinic was the brainchild of James J. Friedberg, its former director and the Hale J. and Roscoe P. Posten professor of law at the College of Law. Friedberg founded the project at the urging of his international law and human rights students as a volunteer pro bono undertaking. He then turned the project into a clinical course.
Not only do the clients benefit, but so do law students, who gain real-world experience by working on actual cases.
In addition to Razzook, other law students to work on the Syrian case were George Junkins, Lorena Waddell and Greg Pennington.
"It's a great feeling helping them on the pathway to citizenship," Razzook said. "They're really great people. The mother cooked us a bunch of food and we had a celebration."
After graduation, Razzook hopes to become an immigration lawyer. Her father is from Iraq and her grandparents are from Germany and Russia.
"I'm an American of immigrants," she said. "That, and seeing the result of our work in the clinic, definitely fuels my interest in immigration law."

I sit here in the silence of the afternoon. The only sound I hear is the familiar rhythm of my fingers dancing over the keyboard and the white noise of the furnace as it works to keep our home warm. I glance at the time and know that soon the sound of the silence will be broken once the children arrive home. Yet that sound is music to my ears.
I quickly pour a cup of my favorite tea and its aroma warms me. The sun gently peeks through the window, its harsh light glides over every surface and shines a spotlight on my face. The warm touch of the sun fills my soul. Simple moments of peace, gratitude and contentment.
As the anticipation of Christmas fast approaches and the chaos of parking lots and shopping malls become an orchestra of out of tune instruments, moments like these are far and few between. This year, I fell into the Christmas trap. The one that makes you over think your decor and stuff your closet with secret presents from Santa, making sure every bow is perfectly tied and decorations hung in absolute symmetry.
All while trying to remind myself that what really matters is not what is under (or on) the tree.
There was a time in my family's life when my husband nor I knew where our next meal would come from, but we never lost faith.
Sure enough, friends and family would be knocking at our doors with bags full of food or school supplies for our children, all showing us the love of God through their giving heart.
I am not one to dwell in the past as I think the past belongs there, behind us. But I never want to take for granted the lessons learned during those hard times.
I think the past makes us who we are. We are no longer a blank canvas. Life is the painter and every story in our past is a stroke from the brush which will one day form the beautiful masterpiece that is you.
During the time when we could not afford to buy our family Christmas presents, we resorted to what we knew best and that is making homemade gifts and even though they didn't cost much they were filled with so much joy. Here is a quick and easy gift idea for this holiday season.
I am not a baker but this gingerbread recipe is fool proof.
They are delicious and their aroma smells like the essence of Christmas.
Gingerbread sticks recipe
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon baking soda
¾ cup molasses
¼ cup water
1 ½ sticks (12 tablespoons) softened butter
1 cup light or dark brown sugar
¼ cup granulated sugar
Mix flour, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt and baking soda in a medium bowl. In a separate bowl, mix molasses and water.
Beat butter and brown sugar with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in molasses mixture, then dry ingredients to form a stiff dough, adding up to 1/4 cup extra flour if dough is sticky. Quarter the dough, wrap in plastic and refrigerate until firm or about 1 hour (can be refrigerated up to 1 week or frozen up to 1 month).
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Working with 1 portion of dough at a time on a heavily floured work surface, roll into a 9″ by 7″ rectangle. Sprinkle dough with 1 tablespoon of sugar, and use the rolling pin to press sugar into dough. Cut dough into approximate 9″ by 1/2″ sticks. Place sticks about 1/2-inch apart on a parchment.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, rotating each sheet from back to front and switching rack positions after 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; cool to room temperature (can be stored in a tin for 2 weeks)
It is my( hope that this year you are able to enjoy a little bit of silence and embrace the sound of the real meaning of Christmas which is peaceful and filled with hope.

[...] I have to say that it is official, my favorite part of the week at Lucy's blog is when she shares her sketch book with us. I love her watercolor Christmas cards. Lucy also shared the cutest idea, a way to use gingerbread as gift boxes, and they are SO cute! And she also shared a simple gingerbread stick recipe via FOLK. [...]
Lucy, that was so beautifully written. I knew there was a reason I liked you so much and connected to your blog. You are such a sweet, kind and geniune soul! BTW, I feel like I fell into the same trap myself:). It's funny how you can always tell when someone has a story to tell, they are just more authentic. I think it is those hard times that bless us, even though at the time it doesn't seem that way, but it makes us eternally grateful. Happy Holidays Lucy! And many blessings for a Very Happy New Year! Jen
