Reviews for
Dare to Be Scared : Thirteen Stories to Chill and Thrill
Booklist Reviews 2003 October #1
Gr. 4-8. With crisp, straightforward delivery and some intriguing endings, these 13 tales are great fun for young readers who like to be spooked. Some stories tread traditional ghostly ground: nightmares that turn out to be reality, children who take up a dare to visit haunted places, teens pretending to do incantations in the woods on Halloween. Yet the scariest tales use ordinary small things, such as ubiquitous ants or an incessantly ringing cell phone, to thrilling effect. The characters are diverse in race, culture, and personality, and their age range will invite both elementary and middle-grade readers to enjoy the chills. Although never heavy-handed, several tales provide a moral, which makes this a good find for reading aloud and discussing, especially at Halloween gatherings and summer camp, where some stories take place. One black-and-white illustration per story helps heighten the horror, which is never too tense or graphic for the intended audience. ((Reviewed October 1, 2003)) Copyright 2003 Booklist Reviews
Horn Book Guide Reviews 2003 Fall
Peter investigates a haunted house. Lindsay gets phone calls from a deceased aunt. The driver of Mark's bus may be a space alien. These thirteen original stories--some containing elements from traditional tales--are well suited for telling around the campfire. Though the characterizations are minimal, the stories are well paced and most end with a clever or shocking twist. The illustrations are appropriately dark and atmospheric. Copyright 2003 Horn Book Guide Reviews
Kirkus Reviews 2003 June #1
Some kids better watch out. That's the ultimate, dark message in the majority of these stories in which nasty brats get their comeuppance in a variety of unpleasant, eerie ways. The good kids-well, they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. The tales range in scare level from amusingly macabre to downright spooky, and some seem to have bolted straight out of The Twilight Zone. What's not to like-fanglike teeth, alien commuter buses, killer ants, relatives who return from the dead, becoming one's own ancestor, deathly amusement-park rides, and legendary (yet, alas, all too real) monsters? Readers will relate-maybe at their peril-to the culturally diverse middle-grade boys and girls who people these strange accounts. Ouimet's black-and-white etchings are fittingly bizarre. (Fiction. 8-12) Copyright Kirkus 2003 Kirkus/BPI Communications.All rights reserved.
Library Media Connection Reviews 2004 February
This is a great book! Thirteen short stories range in degrees of scariness from mildly creepy to spine chilling. Every story presents a youth who stares fear in the face and doesn't always prevail over the terrifying dilemma. In one story, Sammy, for example, wakes to discover that his nightmare was real, and in another Senora Claro de Luna appears to young Maria Luisa and snatches her away to the place where horrible children go. This book would serve well as an October read-aloud. Recommended. Jodi Kearns, Ph.D., Information Science, Fairlawn, Ohio © 2004 Linworth Publishing, Inc.
Publishers Weekly Reviews 2003 July #1
Robert D. San Souci pens a collection of fantastic, frightful stories in Dare to Be Scared: Thirteen Stories to Chill and Thrill, illus. by David Ouimet. Selections range from short tales like "Nighttown," in which a boy's vacation in the Caribbean goes horribly awry, to longer entries like "Hungry Ghosts," in which a restless spirit swallows a boy's soul. All provide a suspenseful atmosphere and plenty of dark doings, complemented by Ouimet's eerie b&w artwork. Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.
School Library Journal Reviews 2003 September
Gr 4-7-From a horrible dream a boy can't wake up from to an alien-driven bus to an eerie house with an alarming inhabitant, these stories cover the gamut of scary themes. Some are barely shiver inducing, while others, like the Halloween tale of a mean big sister who attracts an evil spirit, are deliciously horrifying. Although they are all original, many of these stories feature themes and plots that are the staples of folklore, making them natural candidates for reading or telling aloud, preferably around a campfire or at midnight during a sleepover. While kids may shrug at the tamer stories, they will marvel at the poignant twist in "Smoke" and shudder at the ominous "Bakotahl." The hilarious and spooky tale of an aunt who contacts her rude niece by cell phone from beyond the grave is destined to be told at summer camps throughout the land. The dark, black-and-white, pen-and-ink drawings add an appropriately menacing touch to the stories.-Eva Mitnick, Los Angeles Public Library Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Something that has happened since the combine is the exposure of medical conditions. Players who were seen at the top of the draft before are dropping like flies. Recent examples include Jarvis Jones with his re-exposure of his spinal/neck problems, and Star Lotulelei with his heart condition.
These players were the cream of the NFL Draft crop until this past weekend, and then all the land heard NFL experts say things like "I wouldn't be surprised if these players fell due to their injuries" and blah blah blah.
Rams fans began to drool, as the 16th pick was made for steals and deals. And having the 22nd to scoop another one up? Just peachy!
Here are a couple of reasons that we as a community should pause before praising the heavens for medical checkups on these star players:
They Are Still Stars
Something to remember is that draft experts are often wrong. Teams gamble on picks because they believe in their potential and ability to make a difference immediately. Something we know about the top 15 picks is they are riddled with teams without stars. The Jaguars, The Browns, the Jets, the Titans, the Bills... they are all in need of a star. And if they thought someone was that much of a star, would they let them slide? Hell no, they would take the leap on a guy they know is going to rejuvenate a franchise. Jarvis Jones and Star Lotulelei may have concerns as of now, but they are names that fans are excited about. Those kinds of players, with the power to excite fanbases, don't make it to 16 or 22 all that often.
We Have Needs
While OLB is definitely a need, as Rocky McIntosh wasn't our best starter, we have other needs. The argument can be made that the addition of these broken stars would make our front 7 the gold of our blue and gold team. That may be true, but then the secondary would be pretty blue. May I remind you that we started Craig Dahl! And Stewart, his backup, is a RFA, probably not coming back. The same scenario can apply to WR, where two of our best may be gone by the end of March! And what about running back? What about the swiss cheese O-line?
By saying that you want Jones or Lotulelei as our draft picks is like saying a great defense made slightly better outweighs a bad o-line made much better. In that case, you are fixing things that are respectively not broken, compared to the rest of the team.
Talent Depth
OLB is a need, so we'll focus on the BAMF's we can find in later rounds of the draft. Some players and traits to consider:
- Jamie Collins, of Southern Mississippi ranked near the top in every LB category at the combine, jumped a 11-7 broad and a staggering 41.5 vertical. Check out how high that is:
Zavier Gooden, Mizzou's beloved LB, ran a 4.47 at the combine officially. Unofficially, I watched him, and he was the fastest.
Jones' teammate on the other side? Cornelius Washington. 36 reps of 225 lbs. 39 inch vertical. 4.50 40 time. Beat Jones in the broad jump by 7 inches, which is seen as a measure of explosiveness.
So many players to consider. The class of DT's is nearly endless. I don't even have time to list them.
Missing on Jones or Lotulelei won't hurt us. There will be another player, i promise.
Fisher and Snead Develop Players
Brian Quick. A project WR taken at pick 33 last year. Why? Because the potential was huge. Fisher and Snead both enjoy developing players into committed workers. Bottom line, I think we can trust them to do that in this draft too.
Rams' Follies with Injuries
In 2010, the Rams were 7-9, and just missed the playoffs. In 2011, the Rams finished 2-14, well away from the playoffs. Big reason was... Devaney. Just kidding. But a bigger reason was injury! To name a few: Steven Jackson, Danny Amendola, Sam Bradford, Ron Bartell, etc... As soon as week two, Mike Sando, the writer for NFC West Blog on ESPN, quote: "I cannot recall this many injuries of significance striking an NFC West team..."
Getting players that are prone to injury is asking for trouble. There are reasons players get injured, whether its bad players around them, reckless behavior, ruthless playing styles, or bad luck. More often than not, that doesn't change when wearing an NFL jersey.
Compare with Other Players That Could Be Taken
This is an interactive part. In the comment section below, pick two players from this list. These are all players that could be available from picks 15-25, the range that the Rams picks fall between.
- Lane Johnson
- Jarvis Jones
- Chance Warmack
- Johnathan Cooper
- Kenny Vaccaro
- John Cyprien
- Star Lotulelei
- Sheldon Richardson
- Sylvester Williams
- Cordarelle Patterson
- Tavon Austin
- DJ Fluker
- Barkevious Mingo
- Alec Ogletree
- Keenen Allen
- DeAndre Hopkins
- Tyler Eifert
- Eddie Lacy
- Eric Reid
- Matt Elam
- Arthur Brown
- Gio Bernard
- Menelik Watson
- Alex Okafor
- Larry Warford
There are 25 options! I would stay as far away as possible from the injured ones because I know these most of these far safer picks will be here!
In closure, there are many reasons to wipe your mouth of the drool from the medical examination fallouts. Stay on focus when thinking about what you want the Rams to do. Shiny new toys may be great, and Fisher would love to play with Jones and Star like action figures. But he also knows that you have to buy the essentials before you get a new toy.

JPMorgan mortgage, community units to lose up to 19,000 jobs
* The largest U.S. bank plans to reduce its workforce by 4,000 this year.
NEW YORK — JPMorgan Chase & Co., the biggest U.S. bank, will eliminate as many as 19,000 jobs in mortgages and community banking through 2014 as Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon trims expenses.
The lender, employing about 259,000 people at the end of December, will cut 13,000 to 15,000 jobs in its mortgage unit and 3,000 to 4,000 in community banking excluding home lending through the end of next year, the company said Tuesday in presentations on its website. Firm-wide head count will shrink by about 4,000 people this year, mainly through attrition, while some employees are redeployed to other areas, said Kristin Lemkau, a spokeswoman.
Dimon, 56, is focusing on expense reductions after boosting net income to records for three straight years. Mortgage profits that drove banks' earnings may fade this year as increased competition keeps the rates on new loans near all-time lows. Some firms also are cutting jobs after a settlement with U.S. regulators resolved obligations to review foreclosure documents.
With credit quality stabilizing, "banks can focus on operational efficiency," said Chris Kotowski, a bank analyst with Oppenheimer & Co.
JPMorgan gave the forecasts as top executives began their annual Investor Day conference. The potential job cuts for mortgage and community banking amount to about 7.3 percent of the lender's total head count as of Dec. 31. The bank may also add people in other businesses, offsetting company-wide reductions, Lemkau said.
Chief Financial Officer Marianne Lake said Tuesday that the bank is seeking to cut costs and expects to reduce adjusted expenses by about $1 billion in 2013.
Costs in mortgage banking will fall by about $3 billion through 2014, the company said. Expenses in community banking, excluding home lending, may rise about 3 percent this year and 2 percent next year as the business expands. Last year, Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America announced plans to cut thousands of jobs.
Reduced staffing may signal an expectation that refinancings will decline after surging last year, said Keith Gumbinger, vice president of HSH.com, a Riverdale-based mortgage-information website.
"It's a pretty good bet that the refi boom will be coming to an end" as mortgage rates climb, he said. "Add regulations on top of that, and it doesn't get any better."

The left-foot of Danny Higginbotham, with the help of a Scott Parker deflection and a hole in a wall created by Ryan Shawcross and Robert Huth, has restored Stoke City's lead, the Potters now up 2-1 over West Ham United. With just over half and hour of regulation time left, Stoke City has canceled Frederic Piquionne's controversial first half equalizer and are on the brink of Wembley.
The crucial parts of the play start with the set-up of the well, with Potter defenders Shawcross and Huth establishing their place at 10 yards before West Ham could set-up their wall. The duo put themselves right in front of Robert Green, a placement that would prove vital after Scott Parker, running toward Higginbotham's shot, clipped the ball with his left foot. The deflection went through the space vacated by Higginbotham's teammates, giving Robert Green almost no time to react.
The West Ham `keeper was able to push the ball onto the left post, but the shot would end up bouncing in. Stoke City, perhaps justly, is back in front.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend for anyone looking for a memorable break.

We had a fantastic time, the room was lovely, all the staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfeast was great, quick and easy. Even the parking was not a problem. I have spoken to lots of friends and family and have recommended they come and stay there. Well as for the chocolate making that was amazing, we really enjoyed it.
So thank you and your staff very much for making my daughters birthday special.
Mrs Sandra Neate
The Chocolate Boutique Hotel provided the perfect place for the hen party

treat and helped create a really memorable weekend in Bournemouth for all
the girls on the hen party.
Abigail Matthews
Thank you so much for your hospitality last weekend, BiteCP have been on more than a dozen team building days and the one last Thursday at your hotel has been widely voted the best yet by all our staff. Not only was the chocolate making fantastic and at the same time very informative but your hotel was lovely and breakfast was second to none. Thank you so much for looking after us so well and we have already recommended you to a client of ours and we have only be back at work three hours! Keep in touch
Alex Blomfield
I just wanted to thank you all for making us so welcome over the weekend and for being so kind and accommodating - it really made our weekend extra special! You have a fantastic hotel there and I will definitely recommend you to anybody I know who is going to Bournemouth or is looking for a "chocolate" themed do!
Thanks once again for everything.

Everything that you did made for a perfect weekend.

Thanks again. we will definitely recommend it and do it again ourselves!!
Verity and Julian
I just wanted to say thank you very much for the fantastic chocolate workshop that our hen party attended on Saturday morning - they all absolutely enjoyed it and were really pleased that they had been able to make something edible as some of them have had some very disastrous experiences in the kitchen!!
It was an activity that they could all join in and we all felt very virtuous going off to our cheerleading workshop having eaten so much chocolate!

She tried to say it, but the words couldn't quite leave her tongue. She's trying. I've been there before. I won't push her, I can wait. The fact that she's trying to find the words to say what she feels means that she feels, something. Something beautiful, because it's easier to speak words of hate than to express love and beauty. And I feel it too. It's in her eyes. I can wait because language isn't something that comes naturally to all people, but feelings are. Whether they are of hate, or love. It's difficult to find the words to express the love that's in your heart because love is overwhelming and you have to remember to keep breathing steadily because she's the most delicate creature you've ever touched and you want to never cause her suffering and you feel like crying but you can't because you have to be strong, you should be looking after her so she cannot be the one wiping away your tears as well as her own, so you can not, must not, DON'T YOU DARE CRY IN FRONT OF HER. All of this is racing through your mind and all you can say is "I think I-" and you turn away from her. This moment has to be perfect. She's waited so long. She deserves perfection and joy and love and you want to give her everything because she has given you all there is of her and you're watching her slowly disappear because she has nothing left. You want to give her your equivalent of her beauty, her ability to love. This is what she has given you and this is what she deserves.
I understand, it was difficult for me too, but you knew what I felt before I said it and you waited. I prefer to feel than to hear it because "I love you" is too short, to simple to describe everything I feel about you. We are not simple. Three words, and eight letters is simply not enough to comprehend what is going through my mind. I don't need to hear those three syllables. Not until they've burst through your anxieties and made their way out of your tongue. It doesn't have to be tonight.

Seattle Sounders FC 2:0 D.C. United
By Kara McDermott
It took awhile to get all the fans into the stands at Century Link with the new metal detector security measures, and it took the Seattle Sounders just as long to get going as they played D.C. United to a 2-0 victory.
The first half was largely unspectacular, with the exception of Eddie Johnson's new shock of blond hair. Field position continued to be troublesome for the Sounders. Brad Evans and Mauro Rosales, both naturally center players, occupied the left and right midfield, respectively. Andy Rose and Servando Carrasco took the center midfield and neither of them, nor the pair of them, had the strength to run the center of the field. The ensuing leadership vacuum seemed to suck Evans and Rosales into the center, leaving precious strategic space underutilized on the outside of the field.
Rose and Carrasco stayed close in the midfield, but rarely played off each other. The two were flush with each other most of the game, which left space in front of the duo and put them a step behind in challenging United on transitions.
However, there were bright moments when the gears clicked together, particularly in a quick passing sequence that lead to the Sounders' goal in the first half.
Rose started by heading the ball outside to Johnson, who then played it back into the center to Evans' foot.
The midfielder directed his gaze down-field and played a textbook through-ball straight up the gut of the field. Obafemi Martins, floating in from the left ran on to the ball, cut off defender James Riley and caught the ball near the top of the box. He held off Ethan White to slot the ball left-footed into the near post past goalkeeper Joe Willis in the 19th minute.
For most of the game it was Rosales that was the main playmaker for the Sounders. He adeptly exploited D.C. United's weak left side and with long runs and was able to feed the box with crosses. Defender Zach Scott also came forward with the attack, though he was tied down more in the second half with matters closer to home.
One side of the field was largely barren for both teams: the Sounders' left defender Leo Gonzalez paired with Evans; and United's right defender Chris Korb paired with Sainey Nyassi. Neither side launched many attacks from these positions. The balance of the field improved in the second half as Evans held his line better, and the offense certainly benefited with the addition of service from both sides of the field, though they didn't capitalize on their chances.
In the 73rd minute, Evans ran the ball deep down the left side and passed across to Martins, who took a touch towards the line and saved it before it went out by knifing it back across the mouth of the goal. It looked to be a dead-end play, but Korb bobbled the clear and deflected it right to Rosales in the middle of
the penalty area. Unmarked and with a clear line to the goal, Rosales whiffed the left footed shot to set off a chorus of disappointed groans from the fans.
Poorly timed dummy plays and missed headers awaited most of the crosses. But as the game – described by Schmid as "not beautiful, not artistic" – wound down, Martins again added some polish to the lackluster play by tallying one more goal for the home side. About a minute into stoppage time, Shalrie Joseph, who replaced Rose late in the second half, headed the ball forward towards the penalty area.
Martins ran on to it, muscling past three defenders as the ball bounced off of various feet, and finished a point-blank shot past Willis' fingertips inside the right post.
The last goal was a punctuation mark on D.C. United's woes this season. The East Coast team has played as many games as anyone, save Real Salt Lake which has played one more, but has only won two and scored eight over 18 games.
The Sounders have some games to catch up on to equal the rest of the field. They next play at Vancouver on Saturday.

Auto manufacturing is back in America – especially in Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania because President Obama made the politically risky decision to bailout the auto industry after bailing out the banks. It was a decision that worked. Obama was right, Romney was wrong. So Romney is now in full lying mode. He is trying to retroactively re-write the wrongs in his writings.
Opinion: The Auto Bailout Wasn't A Safe Financial Deal For America
Yes, it's great that all turned out well for the auto workers, but it is absolutely horrendous to know that the American taxpayers via President Obama's actions could have been left standing for billions of dollars – and still might.
Opinion: In Clear Victory Obama Shows Romney Isn't Ready To Be Commander-In-Chief
What was most clear tonight, though, is that Mitt Romney has no idea how the world works and the Office of the President is no place for on the job training.

Until yesterday, I had no idea that I was being a selfish hostess on my blogs to the point of even cheating YOU out outbound links – even when you would place your website URL in the optional field of the comment form. It wasn't being recognized.
Most everyone who has a blog or a website will know that improving the Google Page Rank of your site is key when it comes to 1. being found 2. increasing your audience and 3. increasing your strength in the area of monetizing (more money!).
That's all been fixed now!
Now you can get a nice outbound link simply by leaving a comment on my blog with your website or blog URL added to the optional 'website' field in the comment form found attached to any post here on MomGadget.
Now that I've stopped being a stingy blogger – every comment or trackback you leave here on MomGadget will result in an outgoing link from my site to yours. The search engines LOVE this! And YOU will too!
Can you believe the majority of blogs don allow this? Most blogging software has "rel=nofollow†automatically added to comment URLs. Initially, it was a good idea and was created to combat spam, but with programs like Akismet, there's really no reason to cheat yourself and your readers out of this rewarding link collaboration. And it's much better then doing a blogroll!
I took the advice of David and Dawud and have installed the WordPress plugin that removes the "nofollow†code, because I want to be a generous blogger and to encourage more discussion here on MomGadget.
Don't be shy! Comment and link! It's a good thing
I'm also going to follow suit and link to a few others who have taken this same position — so commenting on any of the following blogs will also provide outbound links pointing right to you!

Originally founded to eliminate tuberculosis, the American Lung Association today fights lung disease in all its forms, with special emphasis on asthma, tobacco use and environmental health. Asthma is today's leading chronic illness among children and the number one reason for missed school days, emergency room visits and hospitalizations. Nearly 90 percent of today's smokers started before the age of 18 and one third of them started before the age of 13. And many areas of Missouri do not meet the air quality standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency. All of these issues make lung disease the third leading cause of death - 90 percent of which are preventable. This is why the American Lung Association's educational programs are part of the curriculum in many schools across Missouri and why lung health research is so important. Your contribution will not only bring vital programs to more children in your community, it will support research to find a cure. This fund is an irrevocable contribution.

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) - Lansing's tourism industry is showing improvement. The Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Bureau announced Thursday the results from a new study that tracked the spending habits of day visitors and overnight guests.
The report by the Anderson Economic Group shows that in 2012, the greater Lansing area saw nearly 5 million visitors. They say those people spent about $470 million at local businesses, which employs about 6,400 local residents.
The report also found that the total regional economic impact was about $680 million.
"I think there's a pent up demand by visitors, because the last three to four years, they've been kind of hunkered down trying to survive and I think that now things are improving a bit, they're more willing to get out and enjoy," said Jack Schripsema, the president/CEO of the Greater Lansing Convention and Visitors Sureau.
The last economic impact study was done four years ago. Officials say it's increased by $55 million.

I'm doing this early because I have enough things to write about and I have a LOT of spare time at work right this moment. I'll probably update after some more Convention stuff comes out as the papers hit deadline.
Update [2008-1-19 1:19:24 by cwyers]:Gordon Wittenmeyer says Peter Angelos shot down a 7-for-2 swap. Bedard and Roberts would have been our two. Orioles sources deny this; although they confirm that Hill was made available in a Bedard/Roberts deal. Baltimore apparently likes Seattle's prospects better.
The Rangers and Cubs are discussing a Murton for Byrd swap; talks are still tentative at this point, so I wouldn't overreact to the news. Lou is quoted as saying: "I don't think we'll do anything, honestly, but if we do, it will be in the outfield." So he apparently doesn't think the Cubs are getting Roberts. Update [2008-1-19 1:9:51 by cwyers]:Expect DeRosa to be our second baseman. I know this will disappoint some, but I'm comfortable with it.
Soriano and Lou defend Soriano's leading off. Don't see that changing. Rodgers also says that Dempster hasn't been promised a rotation spot, and Dempster himself says "It's not easy. Not a lot of guys do it." He adds that he's improved his conditioning this offseason.
Muskat, on the other hand, says "there's no turning back for Dempster." I guess she means this metaphorically... or actually, I guess she doesn't mean it at all, because she says "Dempster now joins Carlos Zambrano, Ted Lilly, Jason Marquis, Rich Hill, Sean Marshall, Sean Gallagher and Jon Lieber in the fight for the five rotation spots." Notice how there haven't been any articles this offseason that say "Zambrano is expected to compete with six other pitchers for the five openings in the rotation." No word on what will happen if he can't win a spot - Kerry Wood, Carlos Marmol and Bob Howry are supposed to be the candidates to close. Update [2008-1-19 1:9:51 by cwyers]:Howry, for one, would like to remind people that he's the experienced candidate. Campaign season has begun!
Muskat's Cubs Notes are full of gems.Zambrano says he's going to make Lilly pitch opening day. Perry says that Pie showed real progress in winter ball. Piniella says Neal Cotts is getting a shot at a bullpen job again. Gallagher is using Kerry Wood's diet service and has dropped 25 pounds.
Remember Omar Infante? Broke his hand during winter ball. I don't know if I'd say he was ever really a Cub, but it may be of some interest, so I pass it along.
I just have to add... this is great fun, reading through all of this. I feel real excited about all of it.

By Jennifer Emert - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – The State Patrol won't file any charges against a driver who struck and killed a little boy until their Specialized Collision Reconstruction Team completes a detailed investigation.
Seven year old Jonathan Martinez died from his injuries yesterday. He and Kimberly Sanchez were hit by a car as they crossed a Tift County street to get on their school bus Wednesday morning. Ninety-two year old Mason Thompson said he didn't see the bus or the kids because of fog. @
"Jonathan, I'm so sorry that you got hurt...." read Jenny Sanchez.
The Third grader Jenny had a message for her friend killed this week.
"...every time that I got to sleep I feel sad that the man hit you," said Sanchez.
Her mother had a hard time finding the words to tell her he's gone.
"They would tell me call, her friend and tell her what happened. I couldn't, I said I can't. I couldn't even tell an adult, especially I couldn't tell my children, especially not my girls because Jonathan would always here in the house with the girls and I couldn't tell them," said Monica Sanchez.
Jonathan's family can't bear to come home.
"He would always get off that bus stop and pick up a little flower, pick a little leaf of grass and take it to his mom and now his mom says who's going to take me flowers, who's going to bring me flowers everyday if it wasn't Jonathan," said Sanchez of her friend.
She can't understand how this could happen when she sees Mason Thompson drive the road daily.
"Doesn't he know, he lives, he drives that road every day in the morning, I don't know how many times during the day, doesn't at least, he knows," said Sanchez.
Now she's working with the schools to find a better way to get the kids picked up.
"We're trying to see if there's anyway the bus driver can come at least though there's another drive through, come through here and pick them up where the trailer park is right here," said Sanchez.
Tift County Schools will bring in a consultant from the Department of Education to look at the situation, as Jonathan Martinez's friend struggle.
"Don't worry about your sisters and brothers they're at Monica's house. I hope you feel better and we will pray for you. We miss you," said Jenny Sanchez.
Trying to understand why this happened.
The School Systems Director of Operation Robby Dasher hopes drivers who frequently see buses during their morning commute will pay a little more attention to the red flashing lights on their buses and remember they've got kids crossing streets to board those buses.
The school system is considering multiple options to make the bus stop safer for students. The SCRT investigators expect to begin mapping the crash site next week.

Recreational Runners' Problem Solving Experiences During Training Runs: An Exploratory Study
Sharon Hamilton, Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, USA
Theme: Exercise and health behaviors
Poster Number: 31
Program ID: POS-1
Presentation: October 3, 2013 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Room: Napoleon
The purpose of the present study was to explore the extent to which recreational runners report engaging in productive problem solving processes during and after training runs. This study examined the extent to which 52 recreational runners reported engaging in social problem solving during and after training runs. Runners completed several surveys including the Training Run Thoughts Questionnaire (TRTQ), a 20-item self-report questionnaire designed in part to reflect D'Zurilla and Goldfried's (1971) stages of problem solving, and the Attentional Focus Questionnaire (Brewer, Van Raalte and Linder, 1996), a measure designed to assess associational and dissociational thought processes associated with running. The majority of runners reported engaging in problem solving related to training runs in the "sometimes to always" range, and many runners indicated engaging in a variety problem solving process in the "often to always" range. For example, the majority of runners endorsed in the "often to always" range that they think about specific problems they face in their lives (57.7%), that they think about new ways of looking at specific problems (59.5%), that they think about potential solutions to specific problems (60.4%), that they think about the pros and cons of possible solutions (55.7%), and that their emotions related to specific problems change for the better (71.5%) during training runs. Runners also endorsed in the "often to always" range that they remember new ways of looking at specific problems (52%), that they remember solutions generated during training runs (61.5%) and that they have implemented these solutions (48.2%) . In addition to examining the TRTQ descriptively, the internal consistency of the test and the correlation with the Attentional Focus Questionnaire are examined.

Pelosi is safe - CBC not so much - in leadership stakes
by skeptic06, Thu Nov 02, 2006 at 12:35:58 PM EST
There's been fair amount of imaginative talk (as here, for instance) based on the Chuck Todd morning line on the Dem leadership-to-be.
Let's leave aside the clearly delusional notion that, under his Scenario II, a narrow Dem House win, the netroots will step forth to champion a Rahmbo bid for the Speakership. (That he put forward the notion might be thought to invalidate everything else he says. But, like I said...)
Shorn of the netroots nonsense, Todd's offering is this:
Will, say, 220 House Democrats stay united and elect Pelosi speaker, or will enough conservative House Democrats break and elect a compromise Democrat as speaker? Even the threat of Democrats peeling off and working in collaboration with the Republicans to do so might be enough to encourage a serious challenge to Pelosi inside the Democratic caucus.
Now, leaving the identity of possible challengers out of it for a moment, there are (at least) three very good reasons why the mods (Blue Dogs, NDC, unaffiliated) would wave the Signora through:
- No challenger conceivably has the votes to beat her.
- Many reps who oppose her leadership in principle (who voted for Hoyer over her in the 2001 Minority Whip race, say) would vehemently reject a necessarily highly disruptive challenge to her at the start of the first House under Dem control for 12 years.
- Pelosi is very much the keystone of the Dem House party bridge: even hardcore Pelosi-loathers among Dem reps thinking as selfishly as may be would not want to see the chaos that a challenge to Pelosi would likely bring, whether successful or not.
Look at Speaker Pelosi from the viewpoint of a hardcore opponent:
- She's never been in a majority leadership position before; she's never had to be the top elected official in the Dem party before (Scenario II assumes a GOP-controlled Senate): there are ample reasons to suppose that she may not be the prohibitive favorite to succeed herself in 2008.
- She's 66 years old: which is not old as Speakers go: the previous four Dem speakers (Foley, Wright, O'Neill and Albert) all started their first terms around that age.
But any rival would prefer someone of her age to a 50 year old who could hang on in the job for another 20 years!
- She does not have that particular legitimacy of someone who actually won the Speakership (rather than merely slid across from Minority Leader). Any challenge to Pelosi, if not (as is most likely) an immediate miserable failure, could well lead to the choice of a compromise candidate owing allegiance to no faction in particular.
Paradoxically, Pelosi may be easier for the mods to pressurize than such a compromise guy.
Now, if the mods leave Pelosi to take her lap of honor, what is their game plan likely to entail?
(I'm simplifying, obviously: the mods will be no more united amongst themselves as the lefties. But - bear with me.)
Hoyer will clearly be looking at the Maj Leader spot: I can't see that Murtha has a prayer to garner enough votes to make this interesting (as folks have pointed out, with the exception of the war, he's no lefty) - the only question is how much of their capital will the mods need (or be prepared) to spend in getting Pelosi to call him off.
The clearest casus belli is the relatively poor tally of leadership and ranking member spots currently held by mods (Blue Dogs and NDC, at least) compared with the CBC.
The Harman/Hastings thing I've discussed several times before.
The key thing for the mods (Blue Dogs/NDC number 68 now; in the 110th, with unaffiliated mods, perhaps 100?) to engage the support of enough of the ones in the middle to produce a caucus majority.
A majority for what? I don't know how these things are worked (Caucus rules are private!) but I have a feeling that running an actual ticket is not done. What the mods need is a credible threat of putting together a voting agreement carrying a caucus majority which divvies up the leadership and committee jobs (with the exception of the Speakership). (Clearly, if these private rules would require supermajorities to do anything of the sort, that would make the mods' task a lot more difficult.)
Any such scheme would be a job and a half - and, if successful, would surely lead to Pelosi's resignation and the sort of chaos I've suggested the mods will be keen to avoid. The threat would have to be left up the mods' sleeves (evident, but not poking out!).
The actual proposals from the mods would therefore have to be more modest: aimed at an adjustment in patronage to give them a colorably fair share of jobs, more or less in line with their strength in the Dem House party.
That would mean, in particular, Pelosi would have to take on the CBC: as a minimum, I'd say, Harman would have to become HIC chair, and some leadership position (Whip, probably) will need to be found for Rahmbo.
The CBC will go troppo: as well as Hastings, Clyburn (currently Caucus chair) and Lewis (currently Senior Chief Deputy Whip - really) will be the ones making way.
The mods will have to show - good practice for them! - the sort of balls and tenacity under fire that Dem MCs have not been known for just recently. (The CBC is kind of iconic in the Dem party, and hardball puts more than noses out of joint.)
But there will be at least twice as many mods as CBC-ers in the 110th House - and, assuming a 230 rep party, 100 mods (if that's the total) would need only 16 middle guys to make a majority of the majority.
To be something more than mere jam in a sandwich, Pelosi has a hell of a job on.
On the positive side - at least she'll have the job she wants...

So this is my first post, and i've watched the Rangers since i could remember. After tonight's game i felt sick to my stomach. Anyways on to what i have to say.............
When does anyone in the organization of our beloved team admit we have a problem and fess up to it? I say never, and no one ever will. Benching people isn't going to help much more, and I do like Torts as a coach but for a team like this there is no coach in the known world that could get this team to play a good game for more than one night. Yeah we had won 4 straight and took another to over-time, be we didn't play like we should have or the amount of skill we are said to have on paper. Tonight being the worst game the Rangers have played in a very long time. I read the recap of the game and watched the highlights, hardly anyone on the team played well. I didn't agree with Torts pulling Hank after the first period, it wasn't his fault that the team absolutely sucked.
We had no offense, no defense, and the Rangers who got onto the ice after the first goal scored on Johnson gave him a pat on the head like it was supposed to do something. Yeah it could have been a sort of "pick me up" or "don't worry about it" of thing, but if i was Johnson i would have said "maybe if you guys played better Hank would be here and it might only be 1-0 instead of 4-0". There was no coherent passing or communication on any level during the entire game. I know we lost Prospel, and we've seen what happens when we lose a good player.......we are unbelievably horrible. We have no true veteran on our team. Okay so yeah i'm preaching to the quire everyone has read this, seen it, and has been sickened by it, but everyone knows its all true.
The team has died. No true veterans, not enough skill, horrible management, old washed up players, and a captain playing his worst hockey of his career. We're done. We have no legit chance of making the playoffs and if we do we'll be kicked out first round without so much of a whimper. No reason to waste the ammo on shooting us cause we're already dead. Us loyal Ranger fans are meant to suffer for the next decade at minimum.
Oh by the way, anyone notice how well all the former Rangers are doing?

DALLAS – The two Republican candidates for lieutenant governor both addressed equal pay in separate visits to North Texas Thursday afternoon.
Lt. Governor David Dewhurst had lunch with the Republican Women of Arlington and bragged about the state's economic track record since he took office in 2003. Dewhurst also asked voters who supported Todd Staples and Jerry Patterson to join his team.
In an interview with News 8 after the event, Dewhurst was asked whether he would like to see an equal pay bill which passed last year come up in the Senate next legislative session.
"I think we've already addressed it," he said of his chamber.
When pressed on what he would do if another bill is re-introduced next year, Dewhurst said, "If it has the votes to go ahead and get out of committee, then we'll bring it to the floor."
State Sen. Dan Patrick spent the afternoon raising money with former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee in the Park Cities.
Patrick was also asked why he opposes a state law for equal pay.
"I believe women should be paid the same as a man," Patrick said, "but I don't believe government should enforce it. There are a lot of variables that could go into any company making a decision to pay a man or a woman a certain salary. I just don't believe government should interfere with the free market."
Both Republican candidates will appear together for the first time on Friday in a candidates' forum in Kerrville, outside San Antonio.
They face each other in a Republican runoff on May 27.
Equal pay has become an issue in the gubernatorial race over the last couple weeks. Democratic nominee Wendy Davis supports a state law modeled after the federal Lilly Ledbetter Act, but legislation without a statute of limitations. She was the Senate sponsor of the bill that Governor Perry vetoed last year.
Republican nominee Greg Abbott told WFAA-TV's Inside Texas Politics that he supports equal pay for women, but added that existing law is sufficient.
