Easy Interview
Salon Market Trainer Interview (Positive Experience; Easy Interview)
I applied through an employee referral and the process took 4+ weeks - interviewed at Ulta Beauty in March 2010.
Interview Details Was referred by an employee. Had 3 phone interviews, one in person, and had to demonstrate proficiency with hair. The job was described to me as a supervisory one with travel, and supervision of salon managers. I was told I would also manage a salon and have to meet a certain dollar average in service sales myself per week. I was told they rarely hold the SMT to this criteria as they travel a lot.
Interview Question – Where do you see yourself in 5 years? View Answer
Negotiation Details – I was offered more than I asked for. Surprised me until I became employed and saw the workload.

Difficult Interview
Salon Market Trainer Interview (Positive Experience; Difficult Interview)
I applied through a recruiter and the process took 4 weeks - interviewed at Ulta Beauty in August 2010.
Interview Details Very complicated process. I had a total of 7 interviews between phone interviews and in-persons. I also had a technical interview. The personality test is exhausting and i don't feel it is very accurate. My recruiter was EXCELLENT and the DM and BDM I interviewed with at the time were amazing! It was a long drawn out process and I actually turned down 3 other offers at the time waiting on Ulta. Luckily for me they hired me, if they had not I would have been in trouble.
Interview Questions
- Tell me about a time that you were able to keep an employee from quitting? Answer Question
- Tell me about a time you were able to quickly turn a bad guest situation around and make it very positive? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I should have asked for more money. I started as a salon manager and many stylists in my salon make more than I do. You can probably make more as a stylist too. Ask them to be very specific about advancement opprotunities and time frames. The bonus plan is horrible, so don't let them sell you on that. The benefits package is awesome however, especially for the salon industry. If I had it to do all over again I would have asked for roughly $22/hr. I was able to negotiate $16 but once they get you in, your pay increase is a joke. Even if you score above target on your review. My advice get the money up front, cause you won't see a dime more. Okay maybe a dime every year if you are a really good employee.

Indianapolis, IN (Sports Network) - Andrew Smith scored a game-high 25 points as Butler easily took care of Wright State, 70-52, in the first round of the Horizon League Tournament at Hinkle Fieldhouse.
Also scoring in double figures for the fifth-seeded Bulldogs (19-13) were Roosevelt Jones and Chrishawn Hopkins with 11 and 10 points, respectively.
The eighth-seeded Raiders (13-19) were paced by Cole Darling with 12 points and Julius Mays 11 as they saw their tournament run come to an abrupt end.
Ronald Nored, who finished with nine points and six assists, scored all of his points in the first half, but still Butler led by just a single point at the break, 30-29.
In the second half Wright State went cold from the floor (6-of-20) and made just 1-of-8 beyond the arc and 10-of-18 at the free-throw line, opening the door for Butler to run away with the 18-point win. The Bulldogs converted 57.1 percent from the field in the period and beat the Raiders on the glass by a 19-9 margin.
Butler, which has appeared in the title game of the tournament the last six years, winning it three times and advancing to the NCAA Tournament title game in each of the last two campaigns, easily won the rebounding battle, 36-18.
With the win the Bulldogs move to the second round of the tournament on Friday night where they will match up against Milwaukee which defeated Illinois- Chicago, 68-55, on Tuesday night as well.

According to the Lincoln County Clerk of Courts Office, Blayne Solberg, 22, bonded out of jail. His alleged accomplice, Joel Robshaw, 22, was out of jail on Friday.
The two were arrested Thursday, June 13 following the execution of a search warrant that seized several drugs—including the emergence of Molly in the Sioux Falls area—guns, cars and $21,000.
Soberg and Robshaw are expected to appear in court on July 24.

Diabetes Health Center
Very Low Blood Sugar Linked to Dementia
Aggressive Treatment: Risks vs. Benefits continued...
"If you believe these findings, that means that just one episode of hypoglycemia can increase risk," he tells WebMD.
The dementia study is just the latest to raise safety concerns about the use of aggressive treatment to achieve tight glucose control in older patients.
Aggressive treatment to achieve blood sugar levels similar to those seen in people without diabetes was linked to an increased risk of death in older patients with type 2 diabetes participating in a large, ongoing clinical trial sponsored by the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute.
Over an average of 3.5 years of treatment, patients in the aggressive treatment arm of the study were 22% more likely to die than patients who were not treated as aggressively.
Jacobson says it is clear that a better understanding of the impact of aggressive treatment on older patients with type 2 diabetes is needed.
But he warns that it is too soon to change treatment, based on the research reported so far.
"It would be a mistake to throw the baby out with the bath," he says. "We have a substantial body of research showing the benefits of improving glycemic control. But we also have to recognize that, like with any intervention, there may be a downside."
Is This Normal? Get the Facts Fast!
Your level is currently
If the level is below 70 or you are experiencing symptoms such as shaking, sweating or difficulty thinking, you will need to raise the number immediately. A quick solution is to eat a few pieces of hard candy or 1 tablespoon of sugar or honey. Recheck your numbers again in 15 minutes to see if the number has gone up. If not, repeat the steps above or call your doctor.
People who experience hypoglycemia several times in a week should call their health care provider. It's important to monitor your levels each day so you can make sure your numbers are within the range. If you are pregnant always consult with your health care provider.
Congratulations on taking steps to manage your health.
However, it's important to continue to track your numbers so that you can make lifestyle changes if needed. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.
Your level is high if this reading was taken before eating. Aim for 70-130 before meals and less than 180 two hours after meals.
Even if your number is high, it's not too late for you to take control of your health and lower your blood sugar.
One of the first steps is to monitor your levels each day. If you are pregnant always consult with your physician.

I was a cheat in morning, in silk silted with floor dirt,
dust growing dust, sorrow kneeling at my stomp.
There was a way to save me; there was a book on it.
There was one more state. In California, they fill all
ashtrays with fresh sand, all vehicles with the mad.
Dog-woman, knife fight, the man who said he was a man,
who swore to it licking my arm upon exit. It is this nature
that hurt in the sun, despite what love I was in.
I do in yellow ruffle but choose the grotesque for myself,
the runt rodent beating its heart in my hand.
What pool is this? What balcony? I must always
be reconciled. What gift I bought or dance I made.
White chickens and tapestry, fog on the fireworks.
originally published in Antioch Review
All night I am ugly, wryneck whore, fantastic misshape.
I cannot stop eating or the eyes, shut and measured
in gloating. Walked convulsive to a bedroom you know
better, demanded proper attentions. What in a waist
is to be proud of? When I was fat you were fine
and now I am indistinct: systolic hysteric, weak
even to the corner to the train, sure I will be stalled
and gassed, that there should be value in a death.
What has passed came trying to rise from cement,
might have carried us steamy both with sturdier legs.
I will lie down with you; I will get up with you.
And then: just a day again, small scratches from the testing
of knives to my flesh, the endless face-scrubbing
with will not to waste these pretty years. Something
like folly has infected my blood; I imagine my life
would change with a girl's given name, heading off
somewhere on a street of strangers put to bump
and suffocate. I cannot realize the evolution of this act.
I must have walked because I am still walking.

Stern says Kings can present a competitive offer
"Stern has already made it clear to Sacramento mayor and former NBA point guard Kevin Johnson will have a chance to present a counter-offer to the Board of Governors, though the timing is not yet known. What's more, a person with knowledge of the Maloofs' situation told USA TODAY Sports that it remains possible – depending on how the NBA handles the process going forward – they could sell to a Sacramento-based group if a competitive offer materialized."
Johnson announces that 19 (now 20) locals are willing to purchase $1 million shares each for the team, which is more symbolic and a good argument for Sacramento than anything
California Senate President pro Tem. targets Steve Balmer (lead investor for Seattle) in a letter
And, probably most importantly, the two most wealthy Sacramento buyers are teaming up.
Combine all of this with the fact that Sacramento councilors are all but guaranteed to approve the same arena deal again, AEG is on board still, the symbolic importance of having so much interest in general in keeping the Kings in Sacramento from so many separate sources, and that the hero we deserve AND need right now Kevin Johnson heads our plight, I resound with my Sacramento brethren: this is not over. Not even close.

Clarksville, TN (SportsNetwork.com) - Brian Williams notched 25 points, leading the Jacksonville State Gamecocks over the Austin Peay Governors, 71-59, in an Ohio Valley Conference matchup at the Dunn Center.
Williams shot 9-of-15 from the floor for the Gamecocks (10-13, 4-4 OVC), who have won three of their last five games. Darion Rackley (15 points), D.J. Felder (11) and Avery Moore (10) all scored in double figures.
Will Triggs scored 16 points to lead the Governors (8-12, 2-4), who dropped their fourth straight. Chris Horton added 11 points.
The Governors shot 45.5 percent from the field in the game's opening half, but were woeful at the free-throw line, hitting just 2-of-11. At the other end, the Gamecocks shot 41.4 percent on field goals, including 5-of-10 from the perimeter, good for a 35-23 halftime lead.
JSU continued its steady offensive performance in the second half, shooting 46.2 percent from the floor and hitting 11-of-12 at the line. Its opponent shot 40.7 percent, including just 2-of-9 from beyond the arc, and the game was out of reach, with the Gamecocks leading by as many as 16 points with seven minutes to play.
The Gamecocks outscored the Governors 21-12 in points off turnovers and went 17-of-18 at the line in the comfortable victory.

Let me start by saying I'm a big fan of the English Premier League, and my favorite team is Liverpool. One of my favorite things we do is sing the song "Walk On" as the team is coming out of the tunnel. It's one of the greatest experiences youll ever have, as the whole crowd is singing in unison. If we could take this song, and adapt it to our BILLS, I think it could be one of the most unique experiences in the NFL. Call me crazy, but I'd rather everyone belt that out as players are coming on to the field then say some Guns n Roses tune. If youve never seen a Liverpool match, I'll provide a few links below of the actuall song and an actual game where the whole stadium sings in cohesion. I really think this would pump up the players and let them know that 80,000 plus BILLS fans are behind them 100% and will do whatever it takes to will them to sweet victory. I have no clue how we could start this, but I've thought about it for a few years now and I think it would really set us apart from the other 31 NFL teams out there. Let me know what you guys think, and if you think its something we could possibly create, thanks.

Kanye West & Pusha-T Put 'Numbers On The Board' After Jay-Z's 'Open Letter'
Radio.com InterviewsKacey Musgraves
Gene Simmons
Courtney Love
Radio StationsBEST OF 2013 (SO FAR)
VideosARTIST PROFILES RADIO.COM CHANNEL
G.O.O.D Music pals Pusha-T and Kanye West joined Jay-Z in surprise-releasing new music yesterday, delivering a new song, "Numbers on the Board."
While Kanye doesn't appear as a feature on the track, he did head up its production. Ye revealed his excitement Thursday (April 11) afternoon on Twitter.
"Our family Hov brought that real hip hip s*** this morning so me and Pusha wanna keep that feeling going," West tweeted.
The music is moody and dark, with a nod to Jay-Z's "Intro: A Million And One Questions/Rhyme No More" from In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. He samples Jay's lyrics: "Motherf****** can't rhyme no more/ about crime no more…"
The artistic chemistry between Kanye and Pusha extends to the track's "no artwork" graphics, which was created by West's design company, DONDA (See the image on West's official website.) DONDA was also behind Lil Wayne's I Am Not a Human Being II and 2 Chainz's Based on a T.R.U. Story.
While Kanye and Pusha-T fans were jamming out to the heavy "Numbers on the Board," Jay-Z's Thursday "Open Letter," sparked controversy.
The song, which addresses criticism of his recent trip to Cuba, came up during a White House press conference. The President's Press Secretary confirmed that Jay and wife Beyoncé, who were celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary, were fully licensed by the U.S. Treasury to travel to Cuba, and President Obama wasn't the person who gave the okay.
With Jigga in the clear, he is set to take the stage with Justin Timberlake on tour this summer. The Legends of the Summer tour kicks off July 17th in Toronto and continues through August.
Likewise, Pusha-T will be joining Future's Pluto tour, traveling throughout the U.S. from May through July.

[Journal of the Simplified Spelling Society, 21, 1997/1 pp30-32]
[See also a further article on this subject prepared for publication by Chris Upward and colleags, a letter of comments on this article by Cornell Kimball in J22, and Journals, Newsletters, Leaflets, Media, Pamflet 15, Book and Papers by Chris Upward.]
American Spellings for British Schools?
A submission from the Simplified Spelling Society to
the School Curriculum and Assessment Authority (SCAA).
compiled by Chris Upward.
The following is a slightly amended version of a paper submitted to SCAA on 15 July 1996. Thanks are due to the Society's British committee for the original formulation, to SSS member Cornell Kimball of Los Angeles for researching aspects of American spelling, and to Professor Burke Shipley of Chicago for some subsequent amendments.
1. British adoption of US spellings.Most spellings perceived by British readers as typically American represent a historically more advanced form of written English, which Britain is inclined to adopt hesitantly after an often lengthy delay. The simplification of AE to just E in words like encyclopaedia and mediaeval is now general in British usage, but many other words like anaesthetic (American anesthetic) have not yet been so cut. British reduction of -OUR to -OR likewise remains incomplete: Britain long ago Americanized inferiour, emperour, exteriour, governour, etc, but persists with dozens of forms like flavour, savour despite the misleading parallel with devour. Similarly incomplete is British simplification of draught as draft (despite the draughty/ haughty anomaly), though America prefers draft for all senses. The case of American plow is slightly different: although both plough and plow were current in 18th century England, America chose the simpler and Britain the more convoluted form as its eventual standard.
As this paper will show, most 'American' spellings offer improvements to the alternatives now prevailing in Britain. Yet each needs to be examined on its own merits, and in fact one of the earliest American form to be adopted brought mixed blessings. American music with final -C (formerly -CK in British musick) had the advantage of tallying with the C in the French-derived adjective musical, where A follows the C; but cutting -ICK to -IC elsewhere introduced complications, in that K now has to be restored before the front vowels E, I, Y (eg, picnic but picnicked, traffic but trafficker, frolic but frolicking, panic but panicky, though there is sometimes uncertainty, as between arcing/arcking, Quebecer/Quebecker). It is unfortunate that C rather than K was kept from the old -CK, since K resolves the dilemma of pronunciation as /k/ or /s/ before a front vowel. The better model would have been the consistent Germanic spelling with K (Danish/Swedish musik, Dutch muziek, German Musik, Norwegian musikk) which raises no such problem, as we see from German Musiker, musikalisch with K before both front and back vowels. If K had been preferred to C, the present inconsistency would have been avoided by writing traffik/traffiker, etc.
However, few of today's American forms entail such kinds of problem.
2. Better phonics.With phonics now officially acknowledged by the British education authorities as central to literacy acquisition even in such a wayward alphabetic system as English, Britain should also acknowledge most American forms as better suited to the phonic learner than their British counterparts. Thus -IZE (eg, organize as opposed to organise) is usefully distinguished from the various alternative values of -ISE as in expertise, paradise, promise. The voicing indicator Z is also preferred in America to ambiguous S in -YSE words such as analyse (the form analyses may come from the verb, or, quite differently pronounced, it may be the plural of analysis) and likewise brasier, cognisant, cosy, partisan, rase (after all, Britain does not write *rasor). The -ER in American center and some 20 other words, which Britain writes -RE, tallies with the far commoner ending of enter, and so reduces an important pattern of exceptions that British children face. American students of the life sciences (above all, those preparing for medical careers) escape the E/AE/OE traps that beset their British counterparts, for instance not needing to learn three different spellings for the first syllable in British femur/faeces/foetus (American femur/feces/fetus), nor in countless other words of Latin or Greco-Latin derivation. (An eminent British zoologist has declared American forms in his field superior, without exception.) Both the -RE and OE simplifications feature in American maneuver, contrasting with the much misspelt British manoeuvre. The K of American skeptic avoids the muddles induced by misleading analogies with septic/sceptre (Britain moved from sceleton to skeleton centuries ago). The I of American artifact aligns with that of artist, artifice, etc, compared with disparate E in British artefact (contrast artesian). The AU/OU digraphs lose their confusing U in American caldron, gage (cf call, scald, page), and mold, molt, smolder (cf cold, colt, colder, phonically contrasting with mound, louder, etc). American naught (cf naughty) is phonically more appropriate than British nought (contrast drought, and dialect nowt). A non-phonic final E is shed (and some other simplifications made) in American ax, adz (though these two were formerly subject to controversy in the USA), cigaret (this latter a less common variant of cigarette in the USA), epaulet (cf cadet, quartet), program (cf telegram), catalog (contrast -UE in rogue, argue). Mustache no longer suggests the mouse of British moustache. Ambiguous British QU yields to simpler American C and/or K in bark (for barque), check (for cheque), licorice (for liquorice).
For phonics to work effectively, we need simpler spellings that correspond to the sounds of words, and the above American variants are therefore to be preferred for pedagogical reasons.
3. More regular consonant doubling.One of the most troublesome features of English spelling is the lack of reliable rules to tell us when to double consonants. One often cited rule has it that, when a base word ending in a single consonant letter adds a suffix beginning with a vowel, the consonant is doubled if its preceding vowel is both short and stressed (eg, commit has TT in committing); but where these precise conditions do not apply, the final consonant is not doubled (eg, single T in commitment since the suffix begins with a consonant, and in inviting since the preceding vowel of invite is long and the T is not final in the base form, and in visiting, since the vowel immediately preceding the T in visit is unstressed). This rule, which is generally accepted by both American and British spelling conventions is in itself too complex to be easily mastered, but British (not American) spelling aggravates the difficulty with numerous exceptions. The most widespread pattern of exceptions affects verbs ending in an unstressed vowel plus single L, such as travel. In America these follow the normal rule, but in Britain the L is perversely doubled before a vowel, as in the forms travelled, traveller, travelling, which falsely have the appearance of rhyming with compelled, compelling, etc (contrast American traveled, etc). The regular single L is further seen in such American forms as councilor, counselor, jewelry, marvelous, whose British equivalents have anomalous LL. The reverse pattern (Britain simplifying LL where America keeps it intact) is seen in American appall, fulfillment, skillful, beside appalled, fulfilling, skill, whose LL Britain simplifies in appal, fulfilment, skilful (single L here has the advantage of brevity, but not of regularity). Further British discrepancies of consonant-doubling involve P: according to the normal rule, British kidnapped, worshipped (which are based perhaps on analogy with monosyllables such as capped, shipped) should follow the pattern of gossiped, galloped and the forms kidnaped, worshiped used in America.
4. More morphophonemic.Britain sometimes also arbitrarily varies the spelling of word roots where America is marginally less prone to such inconsistency. Thus Britain changes S to C in several words, creating anomalies such as defence/defensive, where American (like French) keeps the original S in defense (French défense); British C contrasts similarly with American S in licence, mortice, offence, pretence. Another instance is American peddler, modelled directly on the verb to peddle, where British has a doubly anomalous form with single D and -AR in pedlar. Then there is British foetus, although the cognate effete is never written with OE; American fetus/effete is likewise consistent. We may also explain the above pattern of single L retained from travel in American traveled etc, in the same terms, as being motivated by morphophonemic consistency.
5. Fewer unnecessary distinctions.Another troublesome feature of English spelling is its tendency to develop different spellings for different meanings of the same word, as between flour/flower or metal/mettle, even when, as in these pairs, the words have the same origin. In a number of cases, America does not make such distinctions where Britain does, for instance writing curb for both curb/kerb, draft for both draft/draught, inquiry for both enquiry/inquiry, meter for both meter/metre, story for both story/storey, and tire for both tire/tyre. Other confusing distinctions of British spelling which America finds unnecessary are the noun/verb differences of licence/license, practice/practise and prophecy/prophesy (the different sound value of the final Y in the latter pair of course bears no relation to the British C/S variation).
6. Fewer etymological errors.The principle on which English spelling is often said to be based, and which is often claimed as its justification, is that of etymology: English spellings are as they are, it is asserted, because they show the derivation of words from Old English, or French, or Latin, or Greek, or wherever else. Yet when one examines in detail the history of many spellings through the centuries, one finds that the pure principle of etymology has been widely corrupted. Examples arising in comparisons between British and American spellings include anomalous British defence, etc (cited in §4 above) and two British preferences based on errors introduced in Latin: foetus was a Latin respelling of fetus (perhaps by analogy with foedus, but in fact related to fecundity, felicity, feminine, as well as effete); and sulphur was a Latin respelling with pseudo-Greek PH of original Latin sulfur. Thus American defense, fetus, sulfur are etymologically more correct, as well as simpler, than British defence, foetus, sulphur.
7. Informal American spellings.In addition to the above American variants which are all regularly used in formal printed text, there are some simplified forms which are mainly encountered in informal situations, most notably in advertising and on public signs generally. Very often they involve omission of the grotesque GH grapheme and sometimes of an associated silent vowel letter as well, in order to represent the sound of the words more directly (ie, more economically and more phonically); such are tho, thru, thoro and perhaps donut, with boro sometimes seen as a suffix in placenames (eg, Greensboro in North Carolina, an early English colony where the ending is especially common). But in addition, the -IGHT syllable is sometimes respelt as in lite, nite. Such forms are increasingly seen in Britain under American influence, and some (tho, thru, thoro) are phonically greatly to be preferred to their traditional equivalents. Others, on the other hand, are phonically dubious: does donut have the O-vowel of Donald or of donor? and the final silent E in countless words like lite, nite creates difficulties for both beginners (they involve reading backwards, from right to left, in decoding) and skilled writers (they create uncertainty when suffixes are added).
8. Less cumbersome.Professional print-producers attach considerable importance to conciseness in writing, shorter forms being valued accordingly especially by the press. Many American forms have the advantage of being both shorter and simpler than their British equivalents, and therefore more economical and more straightforward to use. Conciseness is a particular advantage in the case of tho, thru, thoro.
9. Better for non-native speakers.The majority of users of English do not have the language as their mother tongue, and they suffer additional disadvantages from present spellings (American almost as much as British). Whereas native speakers of English only need to recognize the written forms of words in order to read them, non-native speakers are much more dependent on the spelling to tell them the correct pronunciation. Yet English spelling is notoriously unhelpful in this regard, and countless mispronunciations are caused by misleading spellings. American spellings that are less phonically anomalous than their British equivalents are more helpful in this respect.
A further difficulty for learners and users in non-English-speaking countries is the divergence of spellings between Britain and America, which requires alternatives to be learnt. International publishers face problems too in deciding whether to follow British or American conventions, indeed sometimes whether to incur the cost and trouble of producing separate editions. Other English-speaking countries such as Australia and Canada are particularly affected by uncertainty between the two traditions, Australia for instance being currently torn between a general preference for British labour and the American usage in the name of its Labor Party.
British adoption of simpler American spellings would alleviate all these problems.
10. Other cases.In a few cases (eg, gray/grey, pajamas/pyjamas) the advantages of the alternative forms are more evenly balanced. Thus gray conforms to a more widespread pattern, as in bay/hay/way, etc, but grey is more phonetic; and the unstressed vowel of initial PA-/PY- does not suggest any particular letter, although we may note that pagoda, palatial, parade etc. at least offer a model with PA-, while PY- with that value has no such common parallel. Finally, in the cases of vice, whisky, the British conventions have some advantage: America makes a distinction between vice (=moral depravity) and vise (=holding tool), where Britain is satisfied with a single spelling for both senses; and Britain enjoys its whisky, where America puts on weight with whiskey.
11. Need for new understanding.We have here surveyed the majority of Anglo-American spelling differences, and we have noted that nearly all offer patterns where the American conventions are in every respect, or at least in important respects, to be preferred. Britain thus does itself a disservice in many ways if it tries to resist such American spellings. British children frequently encounter American spellings on television and elsewhere, and they naturally prefer simpler, more phonic forms that better suit their pronunciation and the wider regularities of English spelling. To insist that they reject spellings which they commonly see, and which come more naturally to them, at best discourages children, and at worst causes them real distress. The irregular spelling of English does incalculable damage to educational standards in general, but a more enlightened attitude towards American spellings in Britain (and in those parts of the world where the British tradition has taken root) would tend slightly to reduce the problem.
The world needs a new view and a better understanding of English spelling, as outlined in the Six Axioms promulgated by the Simplified Spelling Society.
12. Strategies for British education.A first, minimal step towards managing the modernization of our archaic writing system would be to adopt at least a more permissive attitude to American spellings. Why, after all, should British children be denied the advantages enjoyed for well over a century by their American counterparts? Such an approach could be graduated as follows:
1. Least controversial would be to instruct British examiners not to penalize American forms.
2. More beneficial would be to instruct schools to teach phonically more predictable American spellings as standard, while still not penalizing the old British equivalents.
3. Most radical would be to rule that, after a certain date, the latter forms should be considered wrong. The time may not be ripe for that yet, but the possibility should be borne in mind.
The Simplified Spelling Society believes it is time for the British to inform themselves of the true nature of their traditional orthography, and to draw the appropriate conclusions for literacy teaching. The recent acceptance that literacy teaching needs to be based on phonics is an excellent and long overdue first step on the road to such understanding, but it is only a first step. Having looked critically at, and rejected, previously fashionable but ineffective methods of teaching literacy skills, we need next to look critically at the substance of what is taught, ie, at the spellings themselves. The differences between spelling conventions in Britain and America would be a practical point at which to start.

April 8, 2003 Blountstown, FL - It's Folk Days at the Panhandle Pioneer Settlement in Blountstown. That means a hands on history lesson for local elementary students. But for their teacher, Debbie Eldridge, it's just another way to take her mind off the history being made in Iraq.
"I stay really busy and that helps," Eldridge said.
Debbie's son Johann Von Lierop is an army captain fighting in Iraq.
But that's not her only child at war.
The Buchanan triplets, Christina, Melissa and Jessica, have been a part of her family for some time.
A year and a half ago when their mother died of a heart attack, a close friendship between the triplets and Debbie's daughter opened a new home for the girls.
The bond between the two families is easy to understand.
"My husband was killed in 1994 in a plane crash, so my kids had gone through losing a parent too," she said.
Now, a blue star flag, an old World War I tradition, hangs in Debbie's home. Four stars for four children.
"My parents are having a tough time with this, because as far as they're concerned these are grandchildren," Eldridge said.
But now, they're soldiers. As daughters of a single mom, the girls found their way to the National Guard in search of college tuition.
"Jessica, who's the middle triplet, actually came up with the idea that they could join the National Guard and that would help them get through college."
The Buchanan's expected service more along the lines of homeland security. Not all out war. But the curveballs of life have made them a tough team.
Eldridge talks about them like they are a small army of their own.
"They're sort of like a little unit and they sort of hold each other up."
When they're deployed, they'll go together.
"If something were to happen to one of them, I don't know what I would do," said one of the triplets from Fort Stewart recently. "You might as well take me out of wherever I am."
Through calls on a cell phone, they are keeping their stand-in mom posted on training at Fort Stewart. And training is hard work.
"One of them told me the other morning that she had cried, but she was doing o-k then."
But Eldridge is not alone in her care and concern for Christina, Jessica and Melissa. Blountstown is their home, and people here are watching and waiting to see when these young women will go to war.
"I think there is a lot of emotion involved, we're all a little bit frightened, but very proud of them," said Sharon McCrone, a teacher at Blountstown High School, who taught the triplets.
They're discipline and determination, she said, is a credit to mom. "That wasn't the military, that was their mother," she said. "Their mother did a tremendous job of raising these young ladies."
Now those qualities will be a credit to America's military.
"I think they're just brave because they've had to be," Eldridge. "They're ready to go and do what they have to do."
And what they may do could be part of history that children like these in Bountstown will be learning for generations to come.

Smeg range cookers give you the chance to cook a lot of different food in different ways. The pizza function for example, it uses the bottom element and fan together to cook the food through while crisping the base, for the best pizza you've ever cooked.
The Smeg range cooker range can be divided up into two different styles; models with one oven and models with two. The models with two ovens are significantly more expensive than the models with one, but for good reason. They have far more than just space. Take the A4-8 which has nine oven functions, a pizza stone and triple glazed removable doors.
But if you are looking for a more affordable model Smeg have a lot of models to have a look at. Take the SUK81MFX5 which is always popular with our customers. It has six functions, including Rotisserie which works with the grill element to brown food on the outside and cook through to the inside. It's also LPG convertible, which is perfect for people who don't have access to mains gas.
Bringing a range cooker with an induction hob to your home.
The hobs have their own perks. Some are only gas- for really responsive and powerful heat. Others have both gas and ceramic hobs. But probably the most impressive is the SY92IPX8, which has five induction zones. It's one of the only range cookers with an induction hob on the market. Induction is faster, safer and far more efficient than any other hob on the market.

SWS: The Shell Script as Web Server
Developer Brett Wynkoop has written the code for a simple web server called Simple/Small/Shell Web Server (SWS) in the form of a shell script.
SWS is ideal to serve static content on the web; however, the open source program lacks a CGI-Interface. The script works with Bourne-compatible shells and requires the standard Unix programs dirname, cat, and date. According to Wynkoop, installation consists of putting the program somewhere, making it executable, creating the document directory, and creating an entry in inetd.conf. He has tested his small server in FreeBSD, Solaris, and Linux.
SWS 1.0 creates index pages for directory listings on the fly and includes a "404 Page" for the "File not found" error message. The server is available for download as a stand-alone script and as a tarball, and includes a man page on the SWS-powered project home page.
The SWS is published with a BSD-license.

News: Fabolous Talks Ne-Yo Collabo Album, "Kinda Like A 'Best Of Both Worlds' Project"
Wednesday, Aug 19, 2009 1:30PM
Faboulous, whose Loso's Way recently debuted as the number one album in the country, recently spoke on surviving the music industry's global sales slump and revealed plans for a Ne-Yo collaboration album.
In addition to music, Fab also said he would like to further his career as an actor in the future.
"I love making albums," F-a-b-o said in an interview. "My last project came out two years ago, so I kinda want to return to making more music rather than...I would love to dip my feet in the pool of acting, but I want to get it in musically as well. The sales thing and the slump of the music industry doesn't change my hunger or my spirit towards making music... I'm looking to do a project later in the year with Ne-Yo which would be kinda like a Best of Both Worlds project that we've been talking about putting together. Musically, I just want to grow in that way, and of course introduce some new talented guys that I've been working with, Street Family, Freck Billionaire, Red Cafe, Paul Cain. And just grow musically as well. I feel like it's my time, I feel like I put in a lot of legwork to get where I am. There's not too many artists in general that have gone that long and are able to still be relevant. There's a lot of people who put out albums, I don't know if it's a lot of people that have that anticipation, and that's the key thing, building that anticipation where people actually want to hear what you have to say." (The Boom Box)
Bad Boy Entertainment's Gorilla Zoe recently spoke on what lengths rappers should go in order to stay relevant and make profits within the struggling music industry.
"Yeah, you know, it's so many ways to make money in this sh*t man," he said in an interview. "It's just hard for corporate America because they base everything around the sales of CDs and now they're trying to capitalize on digital. The truth is that you got to give this sh*t away. Now they getting it with the 360 deals and all that sh*t, but, it's a sea of money. It's a sea of money out here and at one point in time they were making all of it. Nothing lasts forever though." (Vibe)
Fab also hinted at a possible reality show deal coming up in the near future.
"Since im n Hollywood, took some meetings & u might b see ur boy Loso n a reality show soon," he wrote via Twitter last month. "No looking for love sh*t tho. Yall ready 4 that? We hav a idea but its not 100% yet.. U twiggas got any reality show ideas 4 me.. What do yall see my show being about??? I definitely want my reality show is b more documentary than nicknamin chicks & makin them do stupid missions to prove they love me..Hav a great idea, & i think yall'll love it. Cant tell it yet bcuz we havent shot it yet & dont want this sh*t 2 get out like Loso's Way did. Its definitely gon b somethin tasteful, & genuine. As u can c n all the videos, trailer vids, & stuff im bringin, i like sh*t 2 look right. Dont get me wrong, its funny seein Flavor, RayJ, & New York makin people do & say silly sh*t. But thats not Loso's Way. July 28th by the way." (Fabolous Twitter)
The rapper's Loso's Way debuted atop the charts earlier this month.
Fabolous' Loso's Way debuted at No. 1 this week with 99,000 copies sold throughout the country. Following behind the Def Jam artist's release was Daughtry's Leave This Town which pushed 62,000 and Maxwell's Black Summer's Night at No. 3 with 55,200 sold records. (SOHH Sales Wrap)

My question is i have single knob "temptrol" faucets in my mid 80's built home, I recently replaced my water heater and notice the tub baths valves are not working correctly. The one in the walk in shower has been operating correctly but now we are remodeling our shower so we are going to use the tub bath, as i turn on the water and turn it all the way to the hot side it starts to lose water pressure on the hot side. I notice the tub bath on the other side of the house is doing the same thing, but the hot water works on the sinks and walk in shower fine. Did I do something wrong when i replace the water heater? Or did both cartridges take dump at the same time? It barely has enough hot water to take a shower or to activate the shower.
Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Did you hook up the hot side to the hot side or did you put the cold on the hot side?
If you hooked it up wrong way that would be an issue.
Take pictures and post it. Visuals can only help the pros on here understand what's going on..
Whenever you disrupt your plumbing, there is a strong likelihood you have loosened sediment which have collected in your valves. You might try dismantling your valves to see if it is full of crud.
So all is well now?
Pull it all back apart, and flush it with the cartridge removed. Maybe you can get the pieces to blow out that way.
If it doesn't work you may have to back flush it.
One method is to disconnect the hot supply at the water heater.
Adapt a hose to it and send the water some place safe so it doesn't make a mess.
Cap off the tub spout and the shower head.
Make sure the the cold supply to the water heater is off and / or cap the open hot outlet on the water heater.
With the tub valve reassembled, open it to mix the hot and cold equally. since the hot is disconnected the cold will flush back into the hot and dump out the water heater supply.
That is, if the tub valve does not have a pressure balance mechanisim that will not allow the water to cross through.

Petrash: Are we better off because of Obama or because of Bush?
Under Saddam Hussein, Al Qaida grew in strength and we had the tragedy of 9/11. President Bush led the effort to go to war with Iraq to topple a ruthless and corrupt dictator, who killed thousands of his own people, and provided sanctuary to Al Qaida. Bush's efforts toppled this regime and all but eliminated the threat by Al Qaida.
Now, President Obama has decided to end the combat mission in Iraq and draw down our military force there to the 50,000 level. Many see this withdrawal as premature, leaving the country without an established government capable of governing itself. Time will tell. The real question is have we done enough to thwart the resurgence of Al Qaida and can Iraq's weak security forces keep it that way? Probably not.
President Bush implemented the Homeland Security Department which has, in fact, done a credible job in curbing the terrorist threat in this country. People feel safer to fly because of President Bush's security measures. Results show that people are safer today because of George Bush and his creation of the Department of Homeland Security, not because of President Obama's efforts.
Further, is America better off, economically, with President Obama than we were with President Bush? Are gas prices lower in America since Obama took over? Is our health care system better since Obama and company forced ObamaCare legislation down our throats? Has the decline in jobs, increased unemployment, improved? Are Americans able to afford more, and better, housing? Not hardly answers all these questions.
Since Obama has been in office all we've done is argue about his deficit spending, including a $787 Billion stimulus package. Rightfully so. Many of us disagree with the stimulus package. But because we have it, the argument becomes how best to spend it.
Economically, the whole idea of government involvement in our economy is a travesty. Think about it. This is what socialist and communist countries do. They control spending and control the economy. Gross Domestic Product is controlled by the government, not a free market, and people become dependent on government. This has defined Obama's presidency. His policies, and his ethics, and his political tactics, are more about his "redistribution of wealth" agenda, and politics, than about the betterment of the economy.
Labor Day, Obama announced a proposal to spend another $50 billion on infrastructure, i.e. to rebuild roads and highways, railways and runways over a 6-year period. Hmmm, let's see... he has six years remaining in office, theoretically. He's also proposing that we fund this proposal with the elimination, or curtailment, of tax incentives for the oil and gas industry. More redistribution of wealth and politics.
Economists are leery of Obama's proposal. They say it would have limited economic impact before late 2011. Where was this proposal two years ago? This is more of a Republican plan. More politics to show people he's moving from his radical left position more into the center, or mainstream. More politics to get elected.
I think we would have been well-served, economically, had the entire stimulus been spent on infrastructure, from the beginning. It needed to be large and it needed to be immediate, and it needed to get down to counties and cities across this nation. By now, it would have had time to make a difference in unemployment, providing jobs to build new, and rebuild our nation's aging infrastructure. It would have stimulated the economy by providing more individual income. It would have instilled consumer confidence; consumers would have continued to spend. The improvements to our economy would be through free market dynamics, selling and buying transactions, i.e., supply and demand, not artificial government-controlled dynamics.
The problem with Obama's current proposal is that it's too little, too late, relative to the whole country. To be effective, it must impact the country as a whole, not simply regions or "pet projects." Moreover, his proposal distributes this over a six-year time frame. Nothing immediate about that.
Essentially all it does is add to our monstrous deficit by more government spending. Essentially, there is too little "return on our investment" and it will take time to implement the proposal. Compounding the problem, Obama plans to pay for it by raising taxes. He plans to eliminate Bush's tax cuts on those making over $250,000, reduce tax incentives for the oil and gas industry, and others. No "bang for your buck" as Obama has proposed.
At the Milwaukee Laborfest in Wisconsin, hosted by the AFL-CIO and Milwaukee Area Labor Council, on Labor Day, Obama bashed Republicans for opposing economic efforts by the administration. "Even where we usually agree, they say no," Obama said of the GOP. "They think it's better to score political points before an election than actually solve problems.
Mr. Obama, you all but pulled out of Iraq, prematurely, to score political points. How many problems did you solve when you, and your cronies, crammed your health care legislation down the throats of the American people, against their will, creating a huge bureaucracy, at a huge cost adding to an already stifling deficit? What a classic example of "the pot calling the kettle black!"

The Reykjanes peninsula
The Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland is an amazing place, for many reasons. The area is defined by its large lava fields, historical volcanism, numerous hot springs, geothermal energy and rugged landscape. It also holds two of the most popular tourist attractions in Iceland, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the world famous Blue lagoon.
The peninsula is an active volcanic system under its surface, situated at the south western end of the island. The peninsula is rather sparsely populated except for Reykjanesbaer, which is the largest town on the Peninsula.
This rugged area of unordinary beauty and unique landscape has always been best known for its fish industry the lighthouses and of course The Blue Lagoon. Some say that the lighthouses outnumber the villages. The main fishing towns to be found there are Grindavík, Sandgerði, Garður, Reykjanesbær and Vogar.
For more detailed information about attractions, villages and activities in the Reykjanes Peninsula be sure to go throught our destination guide.

The abuse of language is probably as old as language itself. They go together like matter and anti-matter. And thoughtful observers have pointed out the danger of corrupting the language at least since Milton.
"Nor do I think it a matter of little moment," the English author wrote -- in Latin -- to an Italian friend in 1638, "whether the language of a people be vitiated or refined, whether the popular idiom be erroneous or correct. ... I am inclined to believe, that when the language in common use in any country becomes irregular and depraved, it is followed by their ruin or their degradation. For what do terms used without skill or meaning, which are at once corrupt and misapplied, denote, but a people listless, supine, and ripe for servitude?
Good luck with that. The temptation to abuse language for our own self-interested purposes can prove irresistible. Especially to the kind of rhetorician convinced of the rightness of his cause, and the wrongness of the other fellow's.
A particularly effective technique is to seize on some easily misinterpreted phrase the victim has used, trim away its context, and use it to paint him as evil, as mean-spirited, as ... Racist! Which has become the pejorative du jour for anything or anybody or any idea we dislike -- and any politician or party we'd like to discredit. Much the way Communist or Fascist were used in different times. Liberal acquired much the same suspect sound, which may be why liberals started calling themselves progressives.
Words are powerful weapons and, like any other, can be misused. Why reason your way to a conclusion -- that can be hard work -- when a blanket condemnation lies conveniently to hand in a single, ready-to-serve epithet?
It helps if the victim is recorded making some statement that can be edited just right, or rather just wrong, to make him out as some kind of yahoo. And so inflame all the political illiterates out there, and there are a lot of them. Always have been. Joe McCarthy waxed powerful on their support. And before him, Huey Long. Right or left, each has its demagogues. And the worse the times, the better the demagogues do.
. . .
Fear, suspicion, insecurity, ignorance, the lurking suspicion that somebody somewhere is doing better than we are, and at our expense, too ... take those ingredients, mix well, serve hot, and you've got the perfect recipe for rousing the rabble. Especially the kind who can't really tell one word from another. Illiteracy is the health of demagoguery.
There's no telling what the suckers will swallow. The story about how George Smathers got elected to the U.S. Senate from Florida years ago -- and it's only a story -- is that he accused his opponent, Claude (Red) Pepper, of having a sister who was "a practicing thespian" and a brother who was a "known homo sapiens." Why, the scoundrel even practiced "celibacy before marriage" and may have "matriculated" his way into college. Shocking.
It all sounds too funny to be true, but there is truth in jest. The moral of the story: Never underestimate the gullibility, or maybe just boundless ignorance, of the great American electorate.
Fill that vacuum it with selected "facts" and a lot of ill will, and there's no telling how high a Joe McCarthy -- or a George Wallace or Orval Faubus -- will go. Or how low.
. . .
Here in Arkansas, the latest victim of this trick is a state senator of some prominence at this session of the Legislature -- one Jason Rapert. He was caught telling a political rally of like-minded supporters: "We're going to try to take this country back for conservatism and we're not going to allow minorities to run roughshod over what you people believe in."
Standard fare at a right-wing political rally, right? Except for that one hot-button, sure-fire word: "minorities."
Uh oh. We all "know" what the senator meant by minorities. The word has become a standard euphemism for just certain minorities--like black folks, and maybe Hispanic ones, too. That snippet of Senator Rapert's speech made YouTube, and all the usual suspects pounced: The Nation, Huffington Post, MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, New York magazine.
. . .
No need to go into detail, and certainly not the context of the senator's speech. It turns out he was referring to an Arkansas Supreme Court decision that overturned an initiated act, approved by a majority of the state's voters, that would have barred unmarried couples from adopting children. The minority he was referring to was the state's Supreme Court, not a racial or ethnic minority, but the judges who had ruled against the will of the majority for constitutional reasons.
Naturally enough, the smear artists felt no need to go into that minor detail. After further investigation, New York magazine did allow that Senator Rapert appeared to be "slightly less of a bigot, still a liar." Which may be what passes for an apology in those politically correct precincts.

Now that American Horror Story: Asylum has come to an end, concept designer Jerad S. Marantz has shared several pieces of art for Bloody Face, the show's aliens, Pepper the Pinhead and Dr. Arden's experiments. This is the first time you actually get a good look at the alien design.
Marant cooked up these concepts for makeup FX artist Christian Tinsley whose credits include Nip/Tuck, Abominable and I Am Legend.
Marantz writes via his blog, "Coming up with the look and feel of these characters is a collaborative effort and I love how the project pushes Design further every year. Asylum took a lot of work, much more than season one. There was so much to do and it was a lot of fun."

I get it. Kevin if good. You like your team. You would like good players on your team. Playing GM is fun. I often play the 'think of the team we could have had if I was a gm from the future' past draft pick game.
The thing I don't get about these trade proposals is that the logic defeats itself. All these people are saying "you need to trade Love for garbage because he doesn't want to play for your crappy franchise, and our garbage is better than nothing." Ok I agree our franchise is crap and I think K-love will get promoted away, but if we need to ship him because he is going to leave us for being awful, wouldn't you then need to immediately trade him for garbage because he's going to leave your team?
Do you really think that he's itching to get off the Wolves so he can play in Utah or Milwaukee? Those teams are even worse. One fan proposal I saw from Phoenix (how frustrating is it that they hire a new gm and turn the team around in an offseason with players from the scrap heap, damnit flip) proposed a scenario where they acquired Love and then re-signed him for "around 15 million" that's less than his current contract! Is Love really going to take a pay CUT for the honor of playing for the Suns?
Are other teams just hoping to get him for one year just for the hell of it? Throw out some crap and see what sticks? I'd get that. I would trade JJ, DC, Bazz, Brewer, and a late first round pick for one year of Paul George or KD. That would be fun as hell. Is that the motivation?
Also, all these 'trade him to us for crap or you'll get nothing' folks don't seem to understand markets. It would be like walking into an auction house and thinking "I'm so smart, I'm going to bid $1 on everything and then when the time expires I'll get all these things for a dollar each because I'm the only person who has ever come to an auction with the intention of purchasing an item at well below market value. It hurts being so smart!" There are two problems with the 'better than nothing' argument. First, it's not. The Thunder would literally rather get nothing for Durant then that crap basket I hypothetically offered. Second you're not bidding against nothing, your bidding against all the other teams' garbage offers. Yours must be the least garbagy.
I hope this wasn't too long and didn't come off as being too snarky in tone. I'm legitimately wondering. I see so many of these trade offers and I wonder "what is that guy thinking" so I figured I'd ask. Any thoughts or insights?

Massage therapists in Petaluma may have wondered what decade they were in following discussion of a proposed ordinance regulating their profession.
Police Chief Pat Williams presented the proposed new ordinance to the City Council this week, noting that occasional investigations have exposed prostitution operations masquerading as legitimate massage businesses.
But massage therapists and business operators — who note their profession is now a widely accepted health care treatment, not a sexual act — object to what they say are outdated notions and inaccurate assumptions in the proposed ordinance.
The initial wording used language like "massage workers," made references to opaque clothing and in existing zoning codes lumps massage businesses in with pawn shops, tattoo parlors, bars and head shops.
"Let's call a spade a spade and clearly separate the therapeutic massage professional from the sex industry," said certified massage therapist Shannon Leslie, who operates Better Body Massage in Petaluma.
Tiahna Skye of National Holistic Institute told the council that therapists welcome regulations that highlight the professional nature of their field, but they want the distinction made clear that they are not sex workers and should not be compared to them.
The ordinance would require state or city licensing of massage providers and business owners, restrict hours of operations and allow authorities to inspect businesses. Most massage professionals support regulations that promote their educational and professional standards.
But the ordinance, as initially proposed, also would force therapists to submit a doctor's certificate stating that within 30 days they have "been examined and found to be free from any contagious and/or communicable disease capable of being transmitted" by massage.
"It's really actually very insulting to read that," said Gina Drohan, who owns three Massage Envy franchises in Sonoma and Napa counties.

Councillor defends Leominster after signs point to possible drug problem in the town
6:11am Saturday 31st May 2014 in News
THE names of Class A drugs were daubed over signposts in Leominster.
Walkers on a footpath near the town's railway station were pointed towards various illegal substances including "weed, crack, crystal meth and smack".
The Hereford Times contacted Leominster Town Council and arrangements were made for the post to be painted over.
Cllr Denise Kerwood, who runs the town council's footpaths working group, said: "Most probably the graffiti is a thoughtless prank.
"I don't believe Leominster has a greater issue with drug abuse than any other equivalent town. I am also aware that our local community police officers patrol regularly and liaise with individuals involved,"

Ken Watergate says...
When I was an elected councillor there some years ago, Town Council meetings would open with a communal bowl of crystal meth. Complimentary syringes filled with 'weed' were placed next to one's prosecco for the convenience of each councillor.
The town clerk filed all this in the accounts as "sundry expenses"
The drug use at Council Tax Payers expense was morally wrong.
But it did help dull the pain of listening to Peter McCaull boring the tits off you.
I guess that is local politics...

Yes all of Herefordshire and the UK has a problem.
Cocaine use in the UK is now so common that traces of the drug have contaminated the drinking water supply, a report has shown.
In a study to assess the dangers from pharmaceutical compounds appearing in the water we drink, scientists discovered traces of cocaine after it had gone through intensive purification treatments.
Experts from the Drinking Water Inspectorate found supplies contained benzoylecgonine, the metabolised form of the drug that appears once it has passed through the body. It is the same compound that is looked for in urine-based drug tests for cocaine.
Steve Rolles, from the drug policy think tank Transform, told The Sunday Times that the findings were an indication of the scale of the use of the drug in Britain today.

LeBron James said Friday that the Heat would prepare for Game 4 like Chris Bosh wasn't playing. Good thing they did, because Bosh won't return from injury on Sunday night when the Celtics attempt to even the Eastern Conference Finals at 2-2.
ESPN.com's Michael Wallace has some quotes from Heat practice:
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said Saturday that Bosh won't play Sunday and reiterated the All-Star forward has not yet advanced far enough in his recovery from an abdominal strain to gauge when he might be available for game action.
"I'm not thinking about Chris today -- I'm not," Spoelstra said before the Heat's practice at TD Garden. "He's not on my mind. And I love you, Chris, but I'm focused on Sunday. That's where all of my energies are focused right now."
The initial diagnosis on Bosh was that he could return in time for some part the Eastern Conference Finals. Right now it looks like one of the following is true:
a) Bosh is not close to a return
b) Spoelstra is not going to share much about Bosh's status with the media
c) The Heat have no idea when Bosh is coming back
d) Perhaps all of the above
Game 4 tips off on Sunday night at 8:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on ESPN.

Investigation after man ejected from Crawley Town game on suspicion of illegal betting
7:10am Monday 7th April 2014 in News By Gareth Davies, firstname.lastname@example.com
A man was thrown out of a football match after being suspected of illegal betting.
An Egyptian national was ejected from Crawley's Broadfield Stadium in the early stages of Saturday's League One game against Crewe Alexandra on Saturday.
The man was believed to have been feeding back information to a third party in an alleged overseas betting syndicate fraud.
Because of the time delay overseas, fraudsters are able to place bets knowing what is going to happen thanks to the individuals inside the stadium.
It was the second time in two months that a spectator has been suspected of illegal gambling during a Crawley Town game.
Crawley's football intelligence officer Darren Taylor said: "A security team were working with us and they represent the Football League.
"It's all intelligence lead and is done based on information fed back to them and to us.
"So within 15 minutes or so of the game an individual was spotted who was known to us and he was spoken to by ourselves and the guys from the Football League.
"He had a book with him with a load of numbers next to actions and incidents that might happen during the game.
"He tried telling us he was just at the football and that he just likes writing things down which was quite clearly not the case.
"The man wasn't arrested, these security teams are looking at the bigger picture.
"It was good to team up with the guys from the football league and it was a good result.
"This sort of thing does not really affect the punter - but nonetheless it is criminal activity.
"These people are defrauding the bookmakers at the end of the day."
Although the man was not a Crawley Town fan, Mr Taylor admitted it had the potential to cast a shadow over the club's integrity.
He added: "The problem is that there have been some arrests involving match fixing around the county and people assume it's linked.
"These people are not affiliated to the clubs in any way, but it does tarnish the game and looks bad for the club.
"But in reality the players, coaches and fans of both teams won't have the slightest idea about what's going on.
"It is a criminal offence and the football league need to be doing all they can to stamp it out."
Crawley Town's Policing Team tweeted: "Male detained and spoken to at CTFC v Crewe match today due to illegal match betting information with syndicate. Good work with fraud team.
"Intelligence received suggested persons would be at the Stadium and feeding info back to foreign syndicate. Person id and held at Stadium.
"Ongoing investigation with fraud team and good work with CTFC stewards dealing with male. No place for it in the game #OutOfOrder."
In February, an almost identical case involving a Chinese man took place at Crawley's away game in Coventry.
Again, the man was not arrested but talked to by fraud officers as part of an ongoing investigation into overseas betting syndicate fraud.

OSLO, NORWAY (WKOW)-- The Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo awarded the Nobel Peace Prize Friday to the European Union for peaceful reconciliation after World War II between former foes, Germany and France, and for spreading democracy and human rights through Europe.
The European idea was born out of the suffering of the bloodiest war in human memory, which was the last conflict in a series of three fought between the neighboring countries over the course of 70 years, the committee said.
This year's winner was picked from 231 different nominations, 43 for organizations and the rest for individuals, the five-member Norwegian Nobel Committee said.
The Peace Prize is the fifth Nobel Prize to be awarded this week, preceded by honors in medicine, physics, chemistry, and literature. Two American scientists, Robert J. Lefkowitz and Brian K. Kobilka, won the Nobel Prize in chemistry Wednesday for their work revealing protein receptors in cell membranes that tell the cells what is going on in and around the human body. Their achievements have allowed drug makers to develop medication with fewer side effects.
The prize for excellence in the field of economics will be announced on Monday in Stockholm, Sweden, wrapping up this year's awards.
The Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded 93 times since 1901 to 99 individuals and 24 organizations, according to the Nobel Prize website. Many heads of state received it for their contributions in creating peace with conflict partners, fighting for human rights within their borders, or making amends for their countries' past atrocities.
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded by a committee of five people, chosen by Norway's parliament. The prize is named for Alfred Nobel, a Swedish scientist and inventor of dynamite. Nominations come from lawmakers around the world, university professors, previous Nobel laureates and members of the Nobel committee.

Rediscover Your Spiritual Self
A Greater Good
While most of us rely on gut feelings to alert us to danger, spiritual intelligence usually nudges us toward some action that will lead to a greater good.
This is a lesson that Charlene Baumbich, an author and speaker in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, has learned well. Several years ago she was convinced that she couldn't write a book she'd contracted to do. The day before she planned to scuttle the deal, she went to a crafts fair. There Baumbich found a photograph of a chubby toddler opening a treasure chest -- out of which flew butterflies.
"There was a voice that said, 'Just open the lid. Write the first word.'" So she did. And that book, How to Eat Humble Pie and Not Get Indigestion (Arbor Hill, 1997), was a success. Her advice to other women curious about tuning in to their inner wisdom: Take the first step. Peer inside yourself. And don't be surprised if you find butterflies.
