Law Firms
Gibson Dunn Opens an Office in Brazil
Posted Jun 17, 2009 9:48 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Lisa Alfaro, a corporate partner at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, says the Brazilian market holds a lot of potential for her law firm.
Clients in the United States as well as Europe and Asia are interested in opportunities in Brazil because it's "one of the few places where you can get decent returns," Alfaro told the Am Law Daily. Her firm recently closed project finance and bio-fuel deals in the country, and it is also handling four arbitrations involving Brazilian entities, she said.
Now Alfaro will be moving to Sao Paulo from New York to open up a new office for Gibson Dunn. Another associate will move with her. Other Gibson Dunn lawyers will rotate in to staff matters as they are needed.
The story says other U.S. firms with offices in Brazil include Proskauer Rose; Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom; and Mayer Brown.

"Dang, one less place in town for the tourists to "bring thier boots"."
Good one. lolNovember 13, 2010 at 11 p.m.
I thought it was a rhetorical question. It's been years for us (my classroom) too. Since we are going to start up with Art History (as a part of our world history) I think we need to go sketch those (are they Ionic?) columns at the Nave. Oh, and tomorrow is the anniversary of Claude Monet's b-day.November 13, 2010 at 7:28 p.m.
Someone better notify Ms. Bise to take off this tourist attraction. OOPS, now there will be another printing cost to print up new brochures to be handed out to all the tourists who are boot-scoot booging on down the road to Victoria. Which brings me to another comment: The campaign that is on billboards about bringing your boots to Victoria should be changed to "Hey, if you forgot your boots, we've got a special Victoria edition just in your side. Forget bringing your boots, just bring your cash."November 13, 2010 at 7:26 p.m.
EdithAnn, in answer to your question...I was last at the McNamara about 4 years ago when I was still teaching school. I took my kids to it every year. If it is losing money then what you do is vamp up activity there. When I was taking Spanish at the College we built our "Day of the Dead alters" in the back kitchen part of the McNamara house. They had a big weekend festival there too that pulled a great crowd. As a history teacher it was one of the only places in the area that I could take my classes and they could still get a good feel of what life was like in early Texas.
I took my classes to the Nave...once when they had the photo exhibit of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Pardon me but 300 visitors a month is nothing to brag about...how many people live in Victoria? How many folks visit the city per month. I am sure that the new museum on the VC campus has cost a pretty penny to both build and to keep up. I agree that donations of things and places require up keep that is not always the best of deals for the organizations that take them on but Victoria has lost the train engine, mill, and now the McNamara...what a shame.
As far as the O'Conner connection to the house, personally I could care less. Katherine was the only one who has made any significant contributions to local history...the rest of them can't even think to donate the DeLeon's bed to the new museum so that the hundreds of DeLeon family members that still live in the area can see it somewhere other than in a photo...but that is another can of worms.
Children's Museum...really cool play room. Nave, The Coastal Bend Museum and???? what is the 4th one? Grants and trusts and fundraisers can do a lot.November 13, 2010 at 7 p.m.
Now that's funny!November 13, 2010 at 6:02 p.m.
Dang, one less place in town for the tourists to "bring thier boots".November 13, 2010 at 3:47 p.m.
OneCrabbyLady--the historical documents are at the Victoria College Library because that is the Regional Historical Resources Depository of the Texas State Library and Archives. It is the most appropriate place, and is accessible by all folks, not just VC students. I understand that Gary Dunnam, County Heritage Director and director of VPI has possession of the Jules Leffland architectural drawings and papers at his office.
For those of you waxing nostolgic over this building, the selling price ought to clue you in--$266,000.00? Upkeep on this money pit is certainly more than the income is. They were smart to make the decision they did.
And, not to worry--according to the Convention and Visitors Bureau, we'll still have 4 museums left. And when was the last time any of you visited the McNamara House?November 13, 2010 at 12:29 p.m.
Fact is on homes that are State of Texas Historical Homes, like this one...and are on the National Regit. then they come with strict stipulations to begin with. They can't be torn down, they are very restricted on what changes and updates can be made to the house and usually building materials must be the type used originally...like blown panes of glass and the like. The home is already protected by these two entities.
What I find interesting is why the "Arts" and the "Historical" groups can't work together. The "Nave" is fine for what it is...but honestly...Victoria is not a hang out of the states artists and local artists only pull so much. Maybe the new Museum on the VC campus is using more funding than anticipated? Also why is it that all historical documents go to the college library? I mean...unless you are a registered student you can't get in there...why not the public library?
Funny thing is most towns and cities are vamping up their downtown areas hot and heavy...the baby boomers are a nostalgic bunch and don't like to travel any distances when they reach their destination. Go check out Goliad, Yoakum, Gonzales, Port Lavaca, Cuero....this is not in keeping with what has been going on in Victoria. Maybe you should consider getting new committee and board members for you local historical and museum organizations if they can't do better than this.November 13, 2010 at 11:35 a.m.
Maybe someone can buy it, make it a restaurant (that is going to save the city in tax money), and get a near free parking lot. I'm sure they are short on parking at the courthouse and square.November 13, 2010 at 10:03 a.m.
put a stipulation on the sale that it stays a museum.November 13, 2010 at 8:36 a.m.

A middle school math teacher and Boy Scout troop leader accused of sexually abusing children bonded out of jail Thursday.
Detectives in Rowan County say James Barringer III molested three young boys. Barringer is just the latest person in our area whose job it was to take care of your children, but is now charged with sex crimes.
The following men and woman mentioned below were not registered sex offenders before their alleged encounters. That's why it is difficult for parents to track people that may bring harm to their child. A local child psychologist has ideas for what parents can say to kids that makes sense and keeps them safe.
In October 2012, WBTV spoke to former Charlotte Boy Scout leader Thomas Menghi. At the time he gave an interview with the Associated Press, admitting to having sex with underage boys in the 1970s. Police never arrested Menghi, because despite his self incrimination, no alleged victims ever came forward.
In the past few weeks, several similar cases have made headlines. James Barringer III did have alleged victims surface. Rowan County deputies just arrested the eighth-grade China Grove Middle School teacher on Wednesday. He's also an athletic director and assistant scoutmaster accused of molesting young boys.
"It's a tragedy," said Charlotte child psychologist Dr. Sean Knuth.
Knuth says the amount of sexual allegations involving community leaders and children over the past few weeks is troubling.
"It can happen and hopefully it gets people talking about it. Hopefully it gets people seeking treatment about it," he said.
Just last week, former Iredell County teacher John Thomas Patterson got word he'll spend the rest of his life behind bars. A jury found him guilty of 170 counts of taking indecent liberties with a minor.
Authorities also recently arrested another former Iredell County School employee. Police charged Glen McCoy, 30, for his alleged involvement with a 17-year-old boy he met online.
Back in April, Cleveland County teacher Caron Blanton went to jail after she allegedly sent nude videos of herself to an underage student.
On Wednesday, detectives in Hickory arrested Crisofor Casareal for taking indecent liberties with a child at an unlicensed daycare run by his wife.
Also this week, a high school science teacher and wrestling coach is on trial after he was charged with 15 felony counts of sex crimes against children.
According to records in Gaston County, 44-year-old Gary Goins is facing multiple charges involving underage children.
Dr. Knuth says the best thing to do is talk about these incidents with your children. It may protect them in the future.
"Listen to every question your child has. Tell them the question is a good question. Answer it as best as you can. Let them know whatever they are feeling is ok and natural. These are scary things, but there are people out there who can help them get through it," he said.

Albany - Air conditioning units are running wide-open in South Georgia, but your house still may not be as cool as you would like. Lorie Farkas with Water, Gas and Light has some tips to keep you cool and keep your bill low. She says, "Everybody needs to turn their thermostat up to 78 degrees and very few people have their thermostat set that high. Once they've done that, they need to make sure their filters are cleaned at least once a month."
You should also keep drapes drawn to keep sunlight out, and if you don't have air conditioning unit, open windows throughout the house to create a draft. If your power bills are getting out of hand, call WG&L, they will come to your house and do a free energy consultation to help you lower it.

Q: My back lawn was recently infested with army worms. I was out of town and didn't notice it until it was too late. I sprayed B.t. and now they appear to be gone. Is it okay for me to fertilize my lawn and water it right away?
A: You are exactly correct. Armyworms are the caterpillars of a nondescript brown moth that is blown up from Florida by storms each summer. They damage a lawn by eating the green leaves but damage is not permanent. Feed with any lawn fertilizer and water it in to get your grass into recovery mode.

Mascots, Racism and Wisconsin Politics
Friday, 8 November 2013 | A Public Affair
November is Native American Heritage month, but Native Americans, especially in Wisconsin, are facing several issues such as education, land, and mascots.
On Wednesday November 6th, our host Karma Chavez spoke with Barbara Munson, a member of the Oneida Nation who lives in Mosinee, Wis. She is also a chairperson for the Wisconsin Indian Education Association "Indian" Mascot and Logo Taskforce.
AB297 and SB317 in the Wisconsin State Legislature, is making it more difficult to file claims to change their school's mascots, logos, and team names.

Do you miss the old days (and old arguments) about Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) vs. PRIDE Fighting Championship (PRIDE FC)?
So does UFC President Dana White.
But you know the old saying, if you can't beat 'em, buy 'em. And that's exactly what ZUFFA, the parent company of UFC, did back in early 2007 for around $70 million.
A virtual bargain for what was once considered the premier combat sports league. Even to White.
"Japan is an important market for us, it was a place that was huge at one time. Some of the greatest fights that ever happened in MMA have happened in Japan. And I've always said, that huge rivalry between us and PRIDE, it was some of the funnest moments of my life. It was actually fun. If you look back throughout history, there's only one show that I have ever said was a competitor to the UFC and it was PRIDE. It was the only show that I would ever put on the same level and put on a pedestal, that was the same as the UFC."
The UFC will head back to "The Land of the Rising Sun" with its UFC 144: "Edgar vs. Henderson" fight card on Feb. 26, 2012, from the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan, in an attempt to resurrect the Japanese fight scene under a new regime.
Cage and all.
Hear White talk to Telegraph.co.uk about his quest to one day get 100,000 fans back into a stadium to watch to guys duke it out for a title, after the jump.
Can UFC 144, along with PRIDE stars of yesteryear like Quinton Jackson, open the door to a prosperous MMA market in Japan?

Manchester police seek 'dangerous' suspect after shots fired on city street
Alfred Nyonee, 20, of 82 W. Brook St., is sought on warrants for attempted first-degree assault, but police caution the public against approaching Nyonee, who is considered armed and dangerous.
Police found a 9 mm casing at the scene and towed a parked vehicle exhibiting an apparent bullet hole.
A 36-year-old cab driver told Manchester police that a male fare assaulted and robbed her Sunday morning after she picked him up at Union and Hanover streets and was told to drive him to the Family Dollar store on Lincoln Street.
She told police that as she pulled over to the curb, the man demanded money. She said she attempted to flee the cab, but he reached over the seat and grabbed her arm to prevent her from escaping. After a brief struggle, she said, she was able to free herself and escape, yelling for help.
Police responding to a report of a man with a gun at the Family Dollar, 329 Lincoln St., at about 7:45 p.m. Friday met with a 53-year-old man who said a gun was pointed at him.
The man said he had approached the stranger outside the store and asked for money, but was refused. The victim said the man walked away in an easterly direction and he, too, walked east, but on the sidewalk about 30 to 40 feet away.
Police said a clerk from Family Dollar interceded and the man with the gun walked off. He was later found nearby and identified as Kenneth Mourtgis, 54, of 732 Harvard St. Police said Mourtgis said he pointed the gun at the victim so he would stop asking him for money. Mourtgis was charged with criminal threatening.
Police said the man who robbed the Rockland Convenience Store, 18 Rockland Ave., told the clerk that he had a gun, but did not show it during the Friday night robbery.
Police responded to the store at about 8:45 p.m., where they learned the robber had entered the store, demanding cash and claiming to have a gun. The clerk said the man pushed him from behind toward the register, demanding he open it. The robber was able to get some cash from the register and fled the store, leaving the area in a light colored van or SUV.

In front of roaring home fans and a raucous opposing crowd, the South Hunterdon Eagles got the win over the Academy Charter Panthers, 57-28, Tuesday night. Led by player of the game Tyler Frazee, who had 13 points, five rebounds and two steals, the Eagles improved to 19-6 on the year.
Both crowds were going crazy at the start of the game, with the Panther fans traveling very well to see their team play. Parents, students, even cheerleaders showed up to combat the rowdy "Blue Crew" from South Hunterdon. And in the first quarter, it looked like the Panther fans could be cheering for a first-round upset. An 8-7 South first quarter was "lowlighted" by senior guard Jake Whitaker going 0 for 3 shooting. Finishing with only two points on 0 for 9 shooting from the floor, Whitaker talked about his performance after the game: "It was good to get my first state win, actually everyone's first state win, despite the performance I had tonight." That win was secured in the second quarter, as the Eagles led 28-13 at the half, inspired by a 10-0 run to open the second quarter.
At the half, three Eagles had five or more rebounds, as Frazee, John Conlon (six) and Clay Hope (seven) all played well in finding the missed shots. Postgame, Hope, who also had six points in the contest, talked about how he was "worn out from practice this week after a hard loss at Bound Brook."
To open the second half, the Eagles had a 7-0 run to effectively ice the game, with senior guard Daniel Begg playing great in the run. When asked about his night (six points), Begg said it was an "electric feel to the game with both fans going nuts for their team" and that it "was truly fun to see."
In hopes for a second-round win and their second 20-win season in three years, the Eagles will play South River tomorrow night as part of a doubleheader at home. The Eagles will need to contain star senior Matt Martinez, who had 38 points in South River's opening-round game against Henry Hudson. The girls' team will open its state run against Shore at 6 p.m. and the boys will play at 8 p.m.

I ordered this item online and the day I wanted to order it was not in stock. I worried it would not get here in time for Father's Day...I checked back the next day and it had been restocked. I ordered it for pick up at the store to save on shipping costs and got an email the same evening saying it was ready! I picked it up with no wait and no problems the next day...not only was my husband's fathers day gift not late...it was early! And just in time too because we keep the grill outside and got the cover on just before the sky opened up with rain.Love, love, love this grill cover!!!

I love my new Kenmore Elite grill and the grill cover complements it perfectly. We purchased it at our local Sears on line and were able to save with an additional discount and received free delivery. The cover arrived even before we expected it. We are looking forward to a wonderful grilling season with our first party coming up this weekend.

News: Nelly Embraces Haters On Upcoming Album, "The Doubt Is What Fuels Me"
Tuesday, Dec 1, 2009 11:30AM
St. Lunatics leader Nelly has touched on his forthcoming self-titled album and said he was motivated by the fans' doubt this time around.
Speaking on this work ethic, Nelly explained why he embraced the haters.
"The thing is, I work best with two strikes, two outs," Nelly revealed in an interview. "I really think I do. As an artist, you want to wake up every day and feel like you're doing something people don't think you can do. Now I feel like I've been put in that position again, where it's more doubt than expectancy. The doubt is what fuels me, so to speak. I've been real fortunate where I have great people around me. Everybody wants to freakin' work with me -- not that everybody didn't [before], but it's different because I didn't work with a lot of people. Coming into this situation, it's beautiful...In the booth right now, it's kind of different. I got Sean Paul, Akon...as far as the rappers go, Plies. Me and [Young] Jeezy talking about some things now. I'm not finished, but I'm a good portion on the way." (MTV)
While initially planning to drop the LP in 2009, Nelly recently said the project should now arrive in stores around the first quarter of next year.
"I definitely got a new project, we were trying to get it out before the end of this year but it looks like it'll be at the top of next year," Nelly revealed in an interview with DJ Semtex. "I just wanna make sure it's right, and it's definitely coming. The album is bananas so be ready. I did a little bit of different [sounds]. I worked with my man Polow [Da Don], I've worked with Play-N-Skills, we did this joint with Akon that's crazy. The joint I did with Polow, I did with Plies on it. I got a joint that I did with Sean Paul that's crazy, as well as my family, as far as the Lunatics goes, my little brother City Spud, he's no longer locked up no more, he's out...[The title] is just Nelly. I don't want to say it's the 'best' album, but just get ready." (DJ Semtex TV)
Nelly previously told a crowd of fans about his new records and explained why he has decided to record music in Las Vegas.
"I want to try some new sh** from my new album," he said, noting, "This is my first time being able to rock this sh*t." He performed two new songs: the yet-to-be-released first single, '1000 Stacks,' and an uncharacteristically vocal ballad dubbed 'Angel Eyes.' "The new album is sounding incredible," he smiled. "It comes out in November so be checkin' for it....I've been here for about a month...Recording in Vegas is always a good influence, especially the type of music I do...especially when you're doing a lot of party music and a lot of uplifting music and trying to, you know, get people the right spirits...It's going to be a lot of energy. I think they'll get a real understanding of what it's like to be in my position, so to speak, as far as having to start over and grind your way back to a position where a lot of people thought that you would never leave. I might be working on something with Janet [Jackson] and a few things like that, so we'll see what happens." (Las Vegas Sun)
The rapper's last album was 2008's Brass Knuckes.
Release date delays and hype that just doesn't pan out are nothing new or rare in the world of urban music, but Nelly's 2008 release could be the quintessential result. Fitting squarely in the middle of the "troubled album" spectrum, Brass Knuckles is neither a disaster nor a brilliant mistake. It's an album where the forgettable lows marginalize the towering highs, while the feeling that something is missing covers it all. (All Music)
No further details on the album have been revealed as of now.

Sarasota County leaders held a live town hall meeting on the budget June 8, in an effort to become more open and transparent.
It was called a "virtual" town hall meeting, because it was broadcast on TV and streamed live on the Internet, allowing viewers to call or e-mail questions about next year's county budget.
Ken Jefferson, former local news anchor, hosted the program; answering taxpayers' questions were County Commission Chairman Jon Thaxton, County Administrator Jim Ley and County Budget Director Steve Botelho.
Many of the questions centered on the possible loss of services next year, as the county struggles with lower property-tax- and sales-tax revenues — services such as libraries.
County department heads were on hand to answer such questions.
Library Director Sarabeth Kalajian said she planned to cut hours slightly, which would save some money, but would also make library hours more consistent across all county libraries and all days of the week.
Jefferson, a 23-year news veteran, then pressed for answers on libraries, asking: "Is the county getting out of the library business?" and "Is there any chance they'll close?"
Kalajian said the county is exploring the possibility of hiring an outside contractor to run its libraries, but she doesn't anticipate the libraries closing.
Thaxton and Ley spent a considerable amount of time explaining how little discretion they had in how tax dollars were used.
"Last year, the County Commission had total control over 17.5% of property taxes," Thaxton said. "Most people think we have control over it all."
A major percentage of property taxes is dedicated to things, such as the school system, and cannot be reallocated.
The county's communications department will receive the numbers at the end of the week on how many people viewed the meeting over the Internet. Depending on what those numbers reveal, the county may organize more virtual town hall meetings in the future.
On the night of the town hall meeting, Sarasota County debuted a new feature on its Web site — a budget calculator. The calculator allows taxpayers to prioritize various county expenses, such as parks-and-recreation activities. Once those expenses are ranked, the calculator displays the money needed to pay for that expense and how much can be saved by cutting those services. To use the calculator, go to www.scgov.net/communityconnections/survey/survey.html.

DORSET has been recognised as one of the top 10 regions for inward investment across Europe.
The county has been marked as a 'region of the future' by fDi Intelligence Magazine, produced by the Financial Times and distributed globally to international investors and companies looking to expand into foreign countries. The county has been recognised as a Top 10 Small European Region of the Future 2014 and is also listed in the Top 25 European Regions of the Future.
Other places ranked as a Top 10 Small European Region include Copenhagen, Bristol, Bath, and Zurich.
The award was given after submissions were made to fDi Intelligence Magazine.
Cllr Ian Munro-Price, Weymouth & Portland Borough Council economic development briefholder, said: "This sort of recognition really puts Weymouth, Portland and the rest of Dorset on the map."

Smoky house fire N. of Bend traced to fireplace
Prompts reminder to have them cleaned, inspected
Bend firefighters said they were called early Sunday to a home filling with smoke north of town, then spent hours dismantling the fireplace area to find the fire and extinguish it. They also reminded fireplace and woodstove owners to have regular cleanings and inspections.
Fire crews responded around 6:35 a.m. to the report of smoke coming from under a home owned by Austin Smith at 64571 Joe Neil Road in the Boonesborough subdivision, said Battalion Chief Dave Howe.
They arrived to find smoke coming into the house from around the fireplace, Howe said.
"After extensive dismantling of the fireplace and surrounding members, we found the sill plate adjacent to the fireplace smoldering and burning," Howe said in a news release. "We were able to prevent any further damage to the structure."
Losses were estimated at $10,000 to the structure and none to the contents.
Deputy Fire Marshal Cindy Kettering said later an investigation determined the mortar between the fireplace box and hearth had failed, allowing hot embers to fall between the two, into the sub-flooring, and spark the fire.
Kettering reminded homeowners to ensure fireplaces and woodstoves are cleaned and inspected by a qualified professional at least once a year.
Cleaning could be needed more frequently, she said, depending on how often a fireplace or woodstove is used.
"Regular inspections of a fireplace will ensure that any cracks or other issues are identified and addressed – before an incident occurs," Kettering said.
Howe added another reminder, to call 911 if there's smoke coming from around a fireplace, hearth or chimney.
Early detection and a quick alarm "is critically important to confining the fire and limiting damage to your home," the battalion chief added.

Labor Ministry Shuts Down Construction At Hydro Electric Project Citing Safety Concerns After Worker's Accidental Death
Thursday, May 10 2012 @ 04:35 PM EDT
Contributed by: Don Winner
Views: 956
Chiriqui - The Ministry of Labor and Workforce Development (Mitradel) ordered this Thursday, May 10, the stoppage of work at the Cilsa hydro electric project, after detecting low levels of safety and security at the job site, said Juliet Guerra, a director of that entity. "There is an imminent danger to the life and health of the workers," said Guerra. The suspension of work at the project job site came after the death of the construction worker Anibal Arauz Gonzalez, who died last night, Wednesday, when a concrete mixer machine hose threw him against some steel rebar, causing his death.

Housing comprises nearly one fifth of the American economy. The sector is a barometer of our nation's overall economic health, both predicting and reflecting conditions from the boardroom conference table to the kitchen table. The Housing America's Future: New Directions for National Policy 2014 Housing Summit is the definitive event for those seeking a deeper understanding of the housing sector, the policy decisions that help shape it, and the implications for the our economy.
On September 15 and 16, hundreds of private-sector experts, elected officials, scholars, and industry leaders will gather in Washington, DC to discuss and debate America's housing policy. Connect with the leaders who make things happen: elected officials, thought leaders, reporters, and key players representing every segment of the housing and real estate industry.
View the full agenda
Bipartisan Policy Center Announces 2014 Housing Summit
It's time to set aside agendas, and talk housing's future HousingWire
Why a housing summit?
There have been few times in our nation's history when the challenges in housing have been so great.
Six years after the collapse of the housing market, our government-dominated mortgage finance system is unsustainable. Tight lending conditions continue to prevent thousands of creditworthy families from achieving their dream of homeownership.
Rental costs consume ever-increasing shares of family budgets while our federal housing assistance programs are woefully underfunded to meet the growing need.
All of these problems are converging at a moment when our country is undergoing profound demographic changes—the aging of the 78 million Baby Boomers, the formation of new households by the millions of millennials, and the increasing diversity of the U.S. population.
While these challenges may seem overwhelming, we also see opportunity.
We are confident that developing practical solutions is possible so long as we remain committed to keeping housing at the forefront of the Washington policy agenda.
Why should I attend?

Isometries are important in lots of areas of science. One such area is cosmology - the study of the universe. Cosmologists think of space-time itself - that is, the entire universe, which includes everything that ever exists and everything that ever will exist - as a kind of four-dimensional version of an elastic sheet.
Nobody knows whether this sheet is flat, curved in on itself like a sphere, or curved away from itself like a potato chip. The answer to this question will determine whether the universe will go on forever or whether it will end at some point in the distant future.
The shape of the universe is probably one of the most interesting open questions in science, and it involves spooky-sounding stuff such as dark matter and dark energy. Read here about human attempts to measure the shape of the universe: http://www.mathaware.org/mam/05/shape.of.universe.html
As well being important for very big things like the universe, the math of curved surfaces also works on very small scales. For example, a 2D crystal lattice, when grown on a curved surface, produces interesting and beautiful patterns that wouldn't be possible see if the crystal were grown flat. http://news.uchicago.edu/article/2010/12/23/physicists-grow-pleats-two-dimensional-curved-spaces

A trochee is a metrical foot in poetry—the unit of stressed and unstressed syllables that determines what we call the meter, or rhythmic measure, in the lines of a poem. A trochaic foot consists of two syllables, the first one stressed and the second unstressed, to make a sound "DUM-da."
The word "trochee" comes from the classical Greek word for wheel. A trochee can also be called a "choree," derived from the ancient Greek word for dance. Both etymological derivations convey the rhythmic motion of a line composed of trochaic feet.

Freedom, it's not an either/or - it's being aware of the optimal age to learn languages. The sooner the better. Young children pick up foreign languages much more quickly and speak it like natives if they learn very young. Also, learning the mechanics of another language helps reinforce the mechanics of your native language.
But, Freedom, you are right. Every time I meet someone (from another country) and tell them that I am trying to learn one of the languages they can speak, they say, "But, everyone in the world is learning English."
If we are going to expect our students to learn a foreign language, why not take advantage of that time in development when language is best learned - that window of opportunity? It's what is done in other countries - several languages are introduced in elementary school. Why do we wait until high school?May 19, 2011 at 7:55 a.m.
What's even more disgusting about the turnout is that more than half of your property taxes go to the School District.May 19, 2011 at 4:28 a.m.
The voter turn out is disgusting. Why isn't there more interest in the education of your children? What is a democratic school? What is the reasoning supporting starting classes at 9:00? Rebecca what is your hang up with foreign languages, the students should be proficient in the english language, spelling, grammar and vocabulary before exploring an additional language. I'm old school, reading, writing, arithmetic, history, geography, and civics are the foundation of education; and classes starting at 8:00.May 18, 2011 at 9:01 p.m.
Rebecca, I agree with some of what you say, but acknowledge that having public school start after 9 am is not going to happen. That is just one of the many benefits of home schooling your children. That along with not having to provide the TAKS test for them, and have the PRACTICE the TAKS ad nauseum throughout the year prior to taking the actual test. Really, practicing the test? And "studying" to take the practice tests! I could "rant" on this for hours.
As far as the election: I understand the need to vote; if you don't vote you have no room to complain how things turn out. Having said that, many people see things stay the same no matter how many people turn out to vote, whether it is for the school board or for city/county/national elections. If nothing changes, the population gets complacent and begins to think they cannot effect change so why vote.
Get the candidates out among the residents. Put them on the back of a pickup or trailer and give them a bull-horn and have them go through neighborhoods and get the people out to hear them. And don't do it at noon on a weekday; do it on a Saturday or in the evening. Don't depend on the stupid posters on the side of the road and the cable TV and newspaper to get the word out; go see the people where they live! Or is that asking too much?May 17, 2011 at 10:57 a.m.
Me neither, Sug.
My rant button is always looking to be pushed.
Thanks, you too.May 16, 2011 at 12:20 p.m.
Thanks for the clarification, Rebecca. Because I don't have children in school, sometimes all the ins and outs of childhood education are not always first nature to me.
Have a good one! :)May 16, 2011 at 12:07 p.m.
When I say "working" on fine and gross motor skills, I mean by PLAYING. That's how those are worked out - time.May 16, 2011 at 10:56 a.m.
That was kind of my point. The things I want are never going to happen.
Learning foreign languages when the brain is best suited for language acquisition, is common sense. Young children should not be sitting in a desk. In fact, early education should be verbal, multi-lingual, and a time to play and work on fine and gross motor skills - learning by doing. It's why I practice delayed formal academics.
As far as letting teens sleep in, that's based on science: "The study found that melatonin production turned off later in more mature adolescents, presumably indicating that the brain's nighttime cycle shifted to a later phase." http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/cl... The circadian cycle changes which makes teens need to sleep later into the morning. In schools that have delayed start times, they are seeing a jump in test scores. Crazy, but it's something to consider and I practice that here.
As far as Democratic schools - That is the only type of school I would send my children to. We Democratic-school (verb there) here at home. =P
That's just me. Maybe it's better that I don't get more involved. Wouldn't you agree? ;)May 16, 2011 at 10:50 a.m.
Rebecca - not sure about the "democratic school" thing, but I did have 4 years of spanish in elementary. The catch is, it was a magnet school with a vanguard program for the gifted and talented in a large city. Cannot see that type of progressive, intelligent thinking in this part of the world. As for starting school at 9 - huh? Are you really advocating school to start at 9 or did I misunderstand you? And a "massive walkout during TAKS"? Not an attack, you know that, just trying to understand if your "perfect" candidate would advocate these, or if you meant something else...Why should students walk out during a required test?
As for the puny voter turnout, I think my dad said it best - only 4% voted so the other 96% would have something to b!t@h about....May 16, 2011 at 10:24 a.m.
One of my professors told a group of future teachers, "The primary goal of public education is not to educate, it is to babysit." I was mad at her for insulting everything I was (I was raised by teachers) and everything I was going to be (I was an education major), but she meant that for *most parents* the school is there to baby sit.
I didn't vote. Was there a candidate who was pushing for starting school after 9:00am? How about a candidate who would support delayed formal academics? What about a candidate who would support a massive student walk-out during TAKS? I want to turn public schools into democratic schools or add foreign languages to the early childhood curriculum. Those aren't even the things that a school board has the power to do, I assume.

Campaigners calling for council badger cull ban
12:00pm Tuesday 21st January 2014 in News By Emma Robinson, Reporter
A petition is calling on Maldon District Council not to allow badgers to be culled.
The Government has allowed badger culling in parts of the west of England since December 2011 in an attempt to prevent the spread of diseases such as tuberculosis.
The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) is set to extend the scheme out across the country next year.
National campaign group Badger Rescue and Vaccination Everywhere (BRAVE) is calling on the authorities to use vaccination instead of culling to stop disease spreading.
The group has set up petitions on the websites of both Essex County Council and Maldon District Council.
Group founder George Kearton said: "Councils can decide as any land owner can decide what happens on their land and they can ban culling."

Getting to "Really Know" your Life-Mate-to-Be
So, back when Tiffany went to Cali she came back with two copies of a little book by Bobb and Cheryl Beihl called Getting to "Really Know" Your Life-Mate-to-Be. Unfortunately, they don't have the cover scanned in. If they did, you'd see a blissful couple. Countrary to "really knowing" each other, she is covering his eyes; shielding herself from his truth-seeking eyes. That's just the situation this book tries to remedy. Yeah, it's just as corny as the needless quotation marks and over-use-of-the-hyphen make it sound. But, since it's full of questions, it's sort of like a personality test for two, and I think we're acing it.
See, before we get married we have to get some pre-marital counciling from the paster that will marry us. Guess that just goes with the turf, as other people I've asked about it knew exactly what I was talking about. To prepare for this counciling, we were given two copies of the book. It's 55-pages long. There are no pictures…
So, like any assignment with a deadline, we've put this off to the last minute. Now we have been going through a chapter or so every night before bed. I'm not sure this is proper protocol, since whomever answers first innevitably influences the answer of the second person, but I think it's more about sparking the conversation. Trouble is, we're both so tired at the end of the day that we tend to fly through questions that could take hours. I guess the fact that we're on the same pace is good.
It's also comforting to realize that after 3 years, I already know a lot of these things about Tiffany. In fact, there haven't really been any surprises at all. The pastor said that there would be green light answers (in which we agree), yellow light answers (where there's a slight difference) and hopefully only a few red light answers (Roxanne!).
Well, going through this book has been exactly like driving through Baltimore isn't. All green lights.
We'll Mess With Texas…
Jed's Ring
Jed is one tough cookie to shop for. He likes things to be different, unique, but in a simple way. I know. It confuses me too. So for the past three months or so, we have been casually looking for his ring. Every store we go into, doesn't have quite what he is looking for. He likes asymmetry, but doesn't want any diamonds (aka bling) in his band. It is surprisingly hard to find an asymetric, no diamond band. The few that we have found are either too small or too big. So finally, about a month ago, Jed has an epiphany. He wants a simple band, but around the outside of the band, he wants inscribed my EKG as he tells me he loves me. That way he can always have my heart with him. How sweet is that! The only problem is EKG's are not easy/cheap to come by… even if you're a medical student at Johns Hopkins. So I ask Sharon, the coordinator of the MD/PhD program if she knows of anyone that could help me out. Turns out that she used to work at a place in Hopkins where they did EKG's and knew someone that could possibly do it for me for free.
So it's finally all coming together at this point. Yesterday, after school, I met up with Sharon and she took me over to the place to get it done. So Jed sent me a voicemail for me to listen to as my EKG was being taken. This was the message:
Look down at the ring on your finger. This is a symbol not only of my love for you but of our union to each other for the rest of our lives.
They say there is a nerve that goes from the ring finger to the heart. The connection from the ring ot the love that it represents. As you're sitting there surrounded by medical equipment, I am sure that you are evaluating the medical validity of that claim. But you are also recording the beating of your heart. That record will be etched in the token I will wear on my finger for the rest of my life.
So for the moment, concentrate on loving me with each beat.
Imagine the first time we met…
Remember our first kiss…
Imagine the proposal, and think of what the wedding will be like…
Think of our children: being born, growing up, meeting someone else, falling in love and having children of their own….
And finally, imagine us growing old together, more in love than we've ever been before.
Those thoughts will now forever be etched in the living heartbeat that I will wear on my finger from now on. In this way you will always be with me.
I love you.
And here's the EKG.

The waves in the graph represent changes in breathing pattern: gasping, or increased rate. Additionally, my baseline heart rate was just under 60, during the message, it got as high as 80. We'll get the ring when we are back in Cali for Christmas. I'm really excited that we are going to be able to do this. I'd love to know what you think! Please post your comments to our journal

MADISON (WKOW) -- Madison is welcoming back a big motorcycle rally. Wing-Ding 36 will be held at the Alliant Energy Center in July of next year.
It's the annual convention for the Gold Wing Road Riders Association.
Madison has hosted the event four times before and every time, officials say it provides a nice boost to the local economy.
"We estimate over the five times the Gold Wingers have come to our community, they've contributed over $11 million during the days that they're here. Which is a huge, huge number," says Deb Archer, President, CEO of GMCVB.The Greater Madison Convention and Visitors Bureau says it's expected to bring in nearly $3.5 million.

Brent Cross plans recommended for approval (From Times Series)

Councillors told to approve Brent Cross Cricklewood scheme
6:10pm Tuesday 15th September 2009 in News By Alex Hayes
COUNCILLORS have been advised to accept the controversial Brent Cross Cricklewood plans in a set of council papers released today.
Barnet Council's planning committee is due to meet next Wednesday to vote on the proposals, which include 98 new residential blocks, a waste handling plant, offices and shops and new roads.
The conclusion to the report reads: "This ambitious and exciting proposal is considered to be an exemplary way to create a new mixed use town centre for Barnet and North London.
"Around 25,000 new jobs and 7,550 homes will be created and the underused and disjointed parts of the regeneration area will be brought back into productive use in the most sustainable way.
"The proposal creates a coherent integrated town centre, which is well connected with the existing suburban area which surrounds it."
Yesterday around 20 groups announced they had come together to form a coalition to formally oppose the proposal.
Objections have been received from Brent and Camden Councils, MPs Sarah Tether and Dawn Butler, who also submitted an 800 signature petition, and London Assembly members Navin Shah and Brian Coleman.
Around 800 letters have also been submitted by Bestway Cash and Carry customers, which will be knocked down if plans are approved, and more than a dozen residents' and campaign groups.
Objections range from the scale of the plans, the amount of extra traffic generated, the environmental impact and the impact of a new waste handling facility.
The group aims to have the scheme called in by the Secretary of State for communities to look at the plans more closely.
Brent MP Sarah Tether said: "This new coalition shows that the whole community are united in opposition to the Brent Cross Development in its current form..
"It simply isn't fair that Barnet gets the shiny new buildings and road improvements, while my constituents in Brent are lumbered with even more traffic and a huge rubbish dump right on their doorstep.
"With so many different groups coming together to fight these proposals, the Secretary of State simply cannot go on burying his head in the sand. The Government must call in this disastrous scheme."
Jonathan Joseph from the Brent Cross Cricklewood Development Partners said: "We are pleased that officers have recommended approval of the Brent Cross Cricklewood regeneration.
"The scheme to create a new town centre fits within and fully complies with the most up-to-date local and London wide planning policy to achieve the lasting regeneration of the area.
"The sustainability of the scheme is second to none. The measures we propose will together achieve a carbon reduction of 50 to 60 per cent.
"The £500m of investment into transport meanwhile will connect an area currently cut off from its surroundings with communities around it and the wider capital.
"Now is the time to get on and deliver the 27,000 jobs, 7,500 homes, modern facilities for three local schools, new health facilities, exceptional parks and open spaces, new high street and the largest investment in transport and community infrastructure in the area's history, all sorely needed."
The plan is expected to cost £4.5bn and take about 20 years to complete.

Jon10 says...
Six years ago, Ken Livingstone and the then Barnet Council Leader wrote the forward to Barnet's "Development Framework" document. They talked about a "partnership" with the developers. Unfortunately, that partnership seems to have got too close, with scepticism of their motives suspended.
5:37pm Wed 16 Sep 09
Ali H. says...
firm commitment is doubling Brent Cross retailing, the incineration
plant/dump and a mere 25 houses, whilst over 200 dwellings are destroyed.
Barnet rejected plans to double the size of Brent Cross in 2003, so
developers are cloaking their true motives in a cloud of spurious double
speak. And, why is it that only one proposal has been evaluated by Barnet? This goes against UK planning rules, let alone EU ones.
Brent and Barnet residents who are seriously disadvantaged by the proposal have been
minimally & misleadingly consulted. The dump/incinerator is carefully
positioned on the Barnet/Brent boundary, as far as possible from Brent Cross
& valuable development, and with the greatest damage to Brent. There are
several Brent schools within a few hundred yards, let alone the 1000s of
Changes to roads mean busy through routes will be removed, leading to rat
runs in quiet residential roads by those 29000 cars and 900 HGVs - the
developers own figures! Cycle lanes and pedestrian routes will be removed:
we won't even be able to walk north any more across the North Circular Road,
dividing communities.
As to jobs: those are in the final phase, not due for twenty years, and
there's no commitment to build the office space. Given how vastly over
provided we are with office space, and the lack of public transport unless
you happen to live on the Northern Line, what company will ever move there?
The proposed houses are mostly flats with a maximum 12 sq metres of outside
space. We need real regeneration, real thought, not this mess.
We need a proper independent and objective public enquiry to ensure that the public of ALL the boroughs affected are served properly, rather than sheer commercial or political interests.

dellertron says...
Why does Jonathan Joseph never mention the Westminster style housing plans that will see home owners compulsory purchased at the bottom of the market and told to pay additional premiums if they want to move back. This is quite aimply affluent Barnets way of ridding itself of people it doesn't want.

As National Signing Day approaches, let's get to know the No. 1 recruit in the nation. His name is Jadeveon Clowney, and don't turn around because he might be right behind you.
Name: Jadeveon Clowney. Jadeveon is a name of unknown and novel origin. Clowney is a a derivative of "Cluny," most likely, which is either a place in Perthshire, England or possibly a reference to the site of a Roman thermal bath in Paris. The baths are in ruins, presumably because Clowney's huge ancestors who gave the baths their name accidentally stepped on them.
Height/Weight: 6'6", 247 At the age of eighteen. Scouts believe he'll top out somewhere around 8'3", 375.
40 time: 4.67
Position: Defensive End. Ominous emphasis on the word "end."
Schools of Interest: At this point, only South Carolina. Clowney seems particularly interested in South Carolina's proximity to his home in Rock Hill, South Carolina, named for the primitive workout spot where he hurled boulders as a toddler. Clowney's not answering his phone right now for anyone, though.
Comparisons: Julius Peppers, Ronald Powell of Florida, Mario Williams, the Predator with a really good personal trainer.
Strengths: Yes.
Weaknesses: If you unfairly excerpt the Rivals' description, um...
Has a tendency to play high...
Since this really isn't a problem in the SEC, we'll assume he has no weaknesses.
Will announce: Sometime past signing day, most likely, following the lead of Seantrel Henderson and Terrelle Pryor in delaying their announcement for maximum drama. The method of announcement is unknown, as well, though he'll look like he's handling beanies if he opts for the baseball cap route. In the meantime, he will stay in shape with his trainer, as seen here in exclusive photos available ONLY on SB Nation.

A Victorville man has been arrested on suspicion of trying to kill his ex-wife and two children in Redlands with a pipe bomb planted under the woman's car, police said.
Steven James Sunny, 28, was taken into custody about 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11, at a home in San Bernardino, said police spokesman Carl Baker.
Police, FBI and the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives served search warrants in Victorville and San Bernardino and recovered evidence that Sunny planted the bomb, according to a press release.
"We believe (the incident) was related to a domestic dispute related to the divorce," Baker said.
Sunny was booked into the San Bernardino County jail. Bail was set at $1 million.
The pipe bomb was discovered about 1 p.m. Monday in the northwest corner of the parking lot at the Redlands Town Center in the 1000 block of Alabama Street when the woman returned to her Ford Flex with her two children after shopping.
"She saw a suspicious-looking device under her car," Baker said.
Police evacuated seven stores, including J.C. Penny, two restaurants, a shoe store, a jewelry store, a hair salon and a nail salon. They also cordoned off about 150 parking spaces while members of the Bomb and Arson Unit used a robot to remove the bomb and blow it up in an area between the rear of nearby buildings and an empty field.
An officer also led a bomb-sniffing dog on a search of the area but nothing else was found. Nobody was injured, the car was undamaged and the area was reopened about 5 p.m., Baker said.
The pipe bomb would have been powerful enough to blow up the car, Baker said.
"The bomb squad … said it would have likely killed anyone in the car or standing near it," he said.

i would like to propose that neither science, nor scientists, is the enemy. Science is a tool, a method, that can be used or abused. Scientists are humans. Some of them know God, some of them do not. Those that do not are not the enemy, but the harvest field. Our enemy is a spiritual enemy and our battle is not against flesh and blood.

Dwight's Spark of Genius Celebrated at International Baccalaureate (IB) Conference of the Americas
Dwight School was recognized as an education leader and innovator at the recent IB Conference of the Americas held in Washington, D.C., on July 9–13.
As part of her keynote speech, IB Director General Dr. Siva Kumari cited Dwight as not only being the first IB school to offer all four of the IB programs (for students ages 3–18), but also as excelling in the quality of each of the four programs. "The vision and leadership of Chancellor Spahn," Dr. Kumari said, "is what has made possible the growth of the IB program at Dwight. His and the School's commitment to the educational philosophy of 'igniting the spark of genius in every child' should be an example and guide to all IB schools."
Dr. Kumari also commended Dwight's community and leadership programs, specifically the Institute for Civic Leadership (ICL), an organization that provides world-class leadership training to both Dwight students and IB students from all over the world.
Dr. Kumari went on to recognize Dwight as an innovator in championing the International Baccalaureate Career Related Certificate (IBCC) program through its digital media program and she expressed her anticipation of the launch of Dwight Relativity, a media film program beginning this fall.
"Dwight has always been on the cutting edge of educational trends," said Chancellor Spahn. "The IBCC and Dwight Relativity are two important initiatives in that they both speak to the future of where education is headed and the access students and families have to educational resources and opportunities. For example, Relativity's hybrid model of online and in-class offerings will allow those students with strong interest in film to not only immerse themselves in the industry to but to fast track them into a career that they are passionate about."
Dwight was quite literally in the spotlight once again when, for the closing performance of the opening night of the conference, Dwight parent and self-proclaimed 'super IB parent' Keith "Wild Child" Middleton of STOMP fame, performed a rousing dance routine to the hit song "Happy," by Pharrell. The crowd of 1,600 roared and leapt to their feet as Middleton brought out his two sons, Kallil '18 and Kassim, to perform with him. Their energetic dancing and clapping created a positive, uplifting atmosphere and captured the spirit of innovation and creativity that marked the conference.

ICL Hosts Community Basketball Tournament at the Dwight School Athletic Center
Late July in New York City. Specifically the East side in Harlem.
Sweltering temperatures push many to flee to nearby beaches or at least to find a nearby fountain in which to cool down.
But not everyone was stymied by the heat. In fact, for more than 70 Harlem children, the heat was merely an afterthought to the day-long basketball tournament held at the Dwight School Athletic Center and run by the Institute for Global Leadership (ICL).
The day included instruction and coaching — culminating with the winners of the tournament being awarded scholarships for a week-long ICL Academy in August focused on service leadership and social entrepreneurship. "The ICL Academy is being held here in New York City," said Michael Reibord, Director of the ICL. "In addition to leadership and entrepreneurship, that week will also focus on college readiness and we'll take participants on educational field trips around New York City."
Participants of the tournament included kids from Youth Action Build, Union Settlement, East Harlem Tutorial, the local neighborhood and residents of the 1199 housing project where the Dwight School Athletic Center is located.
Dwight School has a long history of community involvement and one of its founding and guiding principles is to look for opportunities to foster partnerships within the community, acting as a catalyst for positive change. "Dwight built an amazing facility," said Riedbord, "And the ICL is able to use it to provide award winning leadership training programs for the community." Indeed, the ICL's leadership training curriculum has proved to be very effective. Several of its graduates over the years have received Congressional Medals of Service.
The ICL has plans for more events like the day long basketball clinic including upcoming swimming and tennis tournaments. True to its founding principles, the ICL requires participants in its clinics and tournaments to maintain a 75% average in school, engage in regular ICL service leadership training, get involved in community service projects, and then go on to initiate their own service projects in East Harlem.
Andrew Abrahamsen '14 Featured in the IB Global News Spotlight!
Congratulations to Andrew Abrahamsen '14, whose musical spark of genius has been heard around the world! Prior to graduation, Andrew was selected by the editors of the IB's global enewsletter, which goes to 30,000 readers worldwide, to be the IB of the Americas regional student in the spotlight. Andrew's passion for music and exceptional talent, along with his original musical composition, "Sanctuary," captured their attention.
Andrew, who has been playing the piano since early childhood and is well on his way to becoming a professional musician, composed the piece at Dwight as part of his IB Music higher learning-level requirements. He debuted "Sanctuary" alongside a professional ensemble at our Carnegie Hall concert earlier in the year, where students from Dwight campuses in New York, London, and Seoul came together to share the universal language of music.
"I was humbled and honored to represent Dwight School with my composition because it symbolized the culmination of my work as a musician throughout high school," shared Andrew, whose memorable moment on center stage can be seen
. Heading to Carnegie Mellon University in the fall, Andrew shares the inspiration behind "Sanctuary" in the IB's global
It turns out that in the same edition of IB news, Dwight received a hearty congratulations for our recent IBCC authorization, making Dwight the first school in the Americas to offer all four IB programs. Check it out

No, Phil has not come out. The last time I checked he was married to some bluesy folk singer - female, mind you - from New Orleans. The claim that he's gay is probably a residual of some anti-Pantera website. I think it would be funnier than when Halford came out, as Pantera fans are generally much more intolerant than Judas Priest fans. I don't know definitively, but I've no reason to think he's gay.
but Dime's solo's sound good.
King's solo's sound like he's having a seizure or something

Here's part of the entry for Emelianenko/Randleman:
Fedor Emelianenko is a merciless knockout machine that emerged from the ruins of war torn Stalingrad to avenge the angry dead. Kevin Randleman is a wrestler whose body was kidnapped by science and mostly replaced with horse DNA. After an early takedown by Randleman, Fedor scrambled to his feet and gave Randleman his back. It is stupidly inadequate to say that what followed next was the greatest suplex in the suplexiverse.
Randleman brought Fedor up in a perfect arc, jumped off his feet, and trebuchet'ed the weight of both of them directly on the point of Fedor's head. It was like he was trying to make dinosaurs extinct again. When wheelchair salesmen watch it, their eyeballs turn to dollar signs.
But instead of bravely learning to walk again years later, Fedor swept him, got side control, punched him in the head 18 times, jumped to north-south, and locked in a kimura. All in the span of 45 seconds. For baseball fans, this is like getting your eye knocked out by a fastball, then hitting 16 home runs with one swing.
Other entries include Joe Son/Hackney, Frye/Takayama, Eastman/Belfort. How could this article get any better, you ask? For each of the entries, there is a link to the respective fight on Youtube. That's called journalism, people.
