I think that Texas Connection Academy Houston is an awesome school. This is our third year, (6th, 7th and 8th), and I have nothing but awesome things to say. Every school is not right for every type of student. I understand some of the negative complaints, maybe Texas Connection Academy Houston is not the right fit for your child. I am a former public school teacher, and I pulled my child out of public school due to recent budget cuts and overcrowded classrooms. I own my own business assisting college bound students in the college admission process. I let clients know that they must choose the college that best fit their major, and their specific learning needs. Parents should do the same when choosing a school for their child. Parents need to do their research and realize they have options in choosing a school, just as they have options in choosing a college for their college bound child. There are many types of schools for PRE K - 12 Grade: Public, Private, Magnet, Charter, Religious, Home School, Virtual, Boarding School, and Performing Arts Schools. One school type does not fit every child, the parent has to research each and see which one is the BEST FIT for their child.
I have two kids at This school (online), i have been having issues with the teachers and all the staff. The first week of school i requested to get books for my 9th graded and everybody told me no! They dont try to help you find solutions, they are just not willing to help. I asked if i can just print the books from pearson (the online book), well that was not an options either. My only option... You need it? Buy them! Yes, that was the solution for a "free public" school. On top of that, today i got a phone call from the principle assistance, to help me after a month, well she wanted to talked about saving the trees??? Excuse me, i dont wanna be rude but unless you are calling to give me a solution, i dont think a need a talk about trees. As you can imagine, if you dont agree to what they said they just hung up on you. Which is not the first time they do that. They all nice "trying" to help you but when you need real help then you see the real face. This is my personal opinion of my experience with the majority of the staff from this virtual school.
This school is a nightmare! My daughter has been enrolled in Texas Connections Academy for two weeks , and we already see cracks in their educational system. She's enrolled full-time and failing every subject! This so-called 'virtual' high school is a joke. It's putting taxpayer dollars in the pockets of a for-business online charter school with a horrible curriculum. My daughter will be attending a local public school in the community next week.
TCAH is just awful, in terms of organization and administration. I agree with some of the previous reviews, in that the school director and school principal are both very patronizing, ungenuine and either very passive or unnecessarily aggressive in their dealings with our family. We enjoyed our teachers for the most part, but our daughter's favorite teacher quit early last year, and then discovered some disturbing details about administration's handling of this teacher's quitting. We also had a very disheartening encounter with one of the 7th grade language arts teachers who thought it was her job to tell my daughter how to talk on the phone and was not very nice in how she went about it. We tried several times to discuss with administration about our concerns and about field trips and were transferred between several people on the phone, never given a clear-cut answer and then eventually gave up. We are pleased to not be returning to this school for the upcoming school year.
This was our 2nd year at TCAH and my 7th and 3rd grader love it. The curriculum is more rigorous than traditional school. They don t teach to the test they went through all the textbook material so my kids are getting a more rounded education. My kids and I both had more quality time with their teachers and they loved the flexibility the school allows. Some people misunderstand what flexibility means. You need to keep up with the lessons and do them in a timely manner. Flexibility comes as when during the week you do them. Your involvement is not only welcomed but is necessary. You can t expect to leave your kids with little supervision and expect this to work. They are after all kids. Both my kids received commended on their STAAR tests. We needed accommodations for one of my kids due to some health concerns and TCAH went out of their way to make sure that it was taken care of. My interactions with the administration were excellent. I was impressed by the scholarships and college acceptances that I heard about at the EOY awards ceremony. I m not sure where the previous poster got their ratings, but the TEA website's 2013 ratings show them doing quite well. We LOVE TCAH!
I am not sure why there are so many negitive comments. I have two children in this program 3rd and 6th. They did very well. The staff was wonderful. It's hard work but we welcome that. You need to be a good strong learning coach. We will return next year!! My family drove to Houston to meet the staff and some teachers and that was a positive experience. We have also taken part in the field trips the school offers again a pleasent experience.
My son has been attending this school for the past 3 years. I read a couple negative reviews recently that I find puzzling. Our experience with the school has been pretty positive. The teachers are responsive. The schedule is flexible and the lessons are informative and easy to follow. Just because a course and/or curriculum is flexible, doesn't mean that you can drop doing any work at all. For example, my son preferred to work on one subject at a time--meaning, he would work only science for 2 or 3 days solid. He kept working, rotating between his subjects and finished in plenty of time. Occasionally a teacher would reach out and make sure all was well and help get us moving when things seem to stall, but I wouldn't describe their concern as harassment. My son does not participate in any special programs or the like, so maybe kids requiring more specialized help would do better in a brick and mortar setting-I don't know. All I know is that my son is happy with the program and is thriving; he did very well on all his STAAR tests and asked to continue with Connections next year.
DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS SCHOOL. This school is very disorganized. We have been harassed endlessly by teachers and the school director and the principal with countless hostile phone calls about my son completing work they told us during information sessions we had flexible time in completing (which was a lie) because of his IEP for special needs. The director of special populations has not been compliant with special ed law and my son was forced to take STAR tests without the accommodations he was permitted to take by law per his IEP. We also did not have the required ARD meeting before the STAR test. I agree with previous reviews that call the school director patronizing and the principal very rude. The teachers are very insistent in their work being completed NOW. There is no flexibility in completing work. Dont let them fool you. You must follow their schedule. We have also been told that the principal told teachers in meetings that she "hates" elementary students. Why then is this lady running a school? This place is a joke and we have been misled what this school is really about. DO NOT ENROLL IN THIS SCHOOL.
TCAH is poorly run. Administration is uncooperative and inconsistent in their enforcement of policies and procedures. I forgot to log attendance for 3 days and the teacher told me she was told to mark it for me by the principal. Last time I checked I think that is illegal. My neighbor has a daughter enrolled and her teacher reminded her to mark attendance, no mention of being told to mark it for them by the principal. They threaten withdrawal all of the time but don't follow through. The teachers are forced to become the bad guys but our teacher tells us the truth that the principals are hounding and threatening them. This place needs help.
Why is this school being sold as the "highest rated virtual school in the state" when according to TEA standards it is academically unacceptable in several areas? I am all for silver linings, but this appears to be a stretch. From my experience, the teachers are high quality, but appear to be inhibited by the policies and procedures put in place by administration. The school director and principal are very patronizing and disingenuous with regards to the care for students. Communication between administration and teachers as well as among administrators appears to be very lacking. I am told one thing by administrators that makes no sense, the teacher tells me the opposite that makes sense and appears to be the legitimate truth. Appears to be a case of "if it doesn't make sense, it's not true". Administration needs a major overhaul at this school.
ADVANTAGE: As in any school, teachers are hit or miss. We have found more hits than misses here. There are a few teachers to miss but it appears the ones that have been there the longest are fabulous. In particular, my child's 8th grade social studies teacher is fantastic- very friendly and helpful. She is our favorite! DISADVANTAGES: Administration is very unorganized, difficult to reach and confrontational when they are reached. Found it disturbing that a certain administrator at this school was on the Houston news making references to "pant dropping" in public schools. Teachers are moved far too frequently- my child's classes rotate too often with new teachers who appear untrained of how to use their online portal. The teachers we've had issues with lack appropriate communication skills. Conversations with my children have been awkward, sometimes inappropriate and condescending. OVERALL- I would recommend this school if it were under different leadership and several teachers were replaced, and their policy of circulating teachers regularly was changed. My children suffer from incompetent teachers who don't know how to use their system.
We love TCAH, this is our first year, a lot of work, but the teachers are great, both my children are maintaining a B average, we love it.
Connection Academy is a HORRIBLE school , First of all the curriculum is very boring the way they organize the course get's boring after 1 week for every course it starts with Book-Review-question . They make learning very dull and, Like me all of my life I have been doing public school and when I came to this school, I lost all of my friends and now I have no friends I feel lonely at this school . PLEASE WHATEVER YOU DO DON'T JOIN THIS SCHOOL IT'S DULL AND DOES NOT SPARK INTEREST IN STUDENTS LEARNING
My daughter attended Texas Connections Academy for a couple of months. She loved it and so did we as her parents! Great school; teachers and staff. The curriculum was ahead of regular public school. We moved to a small town and my daughter decided to try public school again and so far she is ahead in her regular public school and we believe it was because of Texas Connections Academy. They really made the process of enrollment easy and when we decided to withdrawal her they were very kind. Her homeroom teacher even called her to wish her the best in her new school. I could go on and on with great things to say about this school.
I did the review in the middle of the summer about the ease of registration and helpfulness of the registration staff. Now that we are 6 weeks in I wanted to update and say that we're still very impressed and pleased with this school. The instruction is rigorous but enjoyable. My 3rd grader is enjoying learning and working through her lessons. The teachers have been very involved and easy to reach. The portfolios take a lot of work but have very really benefits in student understanding of the subjects. Very happy with this curriculum and set-up!
TCAH is a wonderful school because it lets your child learn with the best learning style and pace that is right for them. The teacher are always available to answer questions and talk with you or the student at any given time. The curriculum is the best I've seen in the Texas schools my son has attended. They have art and music and all the academics as well. The schedule is laid out and and the UI is not complicated so my 3rd grader can get on and do his school work without confusion. Since he's been at TCAH his grades and attitude towards school have greatly improved since attending TCAH. We started our 2nd year here this year and it's been great. His Teacher is just as great this year as last year!
We are enjoying being a part of this school. My son has contact with his teachers any time he needs help and we have the flexibility to do the lessons when it is convenient for us. Plus, we didn't have to spend money on school supplies!
Our family is new to Texas Connections Academy at Houston. However, my children are teens, so I am fully qualified to comment on the preparation and planning involved in starting a new school year. When my children attended traditional school and a smaller charter school, it could take up to a week before they actually began their school work. Unfortunately, instructors have to spend the first few days on housekeeping, distributing materials, and imparting rules. Our experience with TCAH was completely different. My kids hit the ground running on the first day. They've had their materials since mid-July and received communication and assignments from each of their teachers the Saturday before classes began. I believe the TCAH experience will be excellent preparation for college. Success with this school requires the students to be independent, self-directed, and self-motivated. Good time management skills are a must, both for the students and the parents. Thanks to the support tools provided by TCAH, I looking forward to the challenge of keeping my family on track for stellar school year.
I love this school...my daughter does her work on her on time and her own pace..I also can learn new things while helping her.
I swear this school just keeps getting better and better as the year goes on. The comfort of home and not all the judgement and assumptions that there is in public schools. This school is a great school for anyone who has a child that wants to learn and is very smart he or she just does not get along well with other individuals. I have a daughter with Bipolar and ADHD as well people are quick to judge so that interfered with her school work with connections academy she is able to do her school work focus on her grades and not worry about the bulling and other distractions of public school. The teachers are focused more on the students it is almost like we have a private tutor for each subject. The teachers are really focused on the students and the small amount of individual attention can make a world of difference exspecially when you have children that are use to being pushed aside by other students and teachers. Their focus here at Connections Academy is right where it needs to be on the students and not on the testing and reputation. WTG CONNECTIONS ACADEMY.

If you are not one of the top 5 teams in the NBA at the trade deadline and you don't make a trade, your not doing your job. If you don't have a chance to make it deep into the playoffs and you're not at least trying to change a few things up on the floor at the deadline, your not doing your job. It should be every owner, GM and, front office's job to be putting together a team that can compete for a title. Now I understand that not every team can make a run every year. I understand that some teams spend more on their powerful trios than others spend on their whole team. But we have seen that argument go right out the window in recent years with billion-dollar teams fizzle out, and teams with strict budgets compete for the top spot. The Jazz did absolutely nothing at the deadline. They had a few rumored deals but when it came down to it nothing was done and they are going to be limping into the playoffs with no real hope to get very far. Now some are saying that this is ok because in...

Matthew 5:48 "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."
Now updated to: "Be ye only slightly whorish, even as your gender neutral Parent which is in heaven is only slightly whorish." – Frank
Probably one of the biggest understandings I've gained from reading in the Christian manosphere is how thoroughly feminism has saturated evangelical Christianity. There is now only one point that separates mainstream feminism from evangelical feminism: abortion. On the issue of sex, there is no longer a difference at all. Just as secular feminists rail against slut-shaming, Christian women are beginning to rail more publicly against "purity" culture, with purity culture simply being the Biblical mandate for a woman to maintain her virginity before marriage.
There have been an increasing number of articles on Christian blogs and at Christianity Today on the topic. In her essay I Am Damaged Goods, on the Christian site Deeper Story, writer Sarah Bessey bemoans the teaching of Biblical sexual morality. In her Christianity Today article Virginity Isn't Our Holy Grail, Jen Pollock Michel praises Bessey's article and explains how for Christians virginity has become an idol. She is careful to point out that the Bible does call for sexual chastity for the unmarried, but she writes:
God's purity standard is effectively impossible to meet.
In an essay I wrote on my old blog this past February, Widening the Christian good girl path, one slut sob story at a time, I asked the question:
Will the Church maintain the hard and fast markers on sexual morality given in the Bible or will the Church slowly but surely go along with the Holy Rationalization Hamsters in their attempt to mow down wider and wider swathes so that more unrepentant sluts can squeeze onto the Christian Good Girl path?
It's been three months since I asked that question, but I can already tell you the answer. Yesterday on the website of The Atlantic, which is a large and fairly liberal mainstream news media source, I found the anti-purity Christian feminists working hard to mow another slutty strip down the purity path. In her essay 'You Ain't Ruined': How Thomas Hardy Took On Victorian-Era Purity Culture, Karen Swallow Prior, a professor at Liberty University and a Christian women's issues writer, explains:
For the Victorians, virtue and virginity were synonymous. A woman who lost her virginity outside of marriage—regardless of the circumstances surrounding that loss–was ruined. For all intents and purposes, then, a woman's virtue resided in her hymen. Will—a woman's will at least—played little or no part in the business. The Victorians, certainly not the first or the last to do so, had confused virginity, a physical state, with virtue, a metaphysical condition.
But Hardy's view was that unlike virginity, virtue is located not in the hymen but in the soul: in one's spirit, one's desires, in one's thoughts, one's will. The virtue of the soul is expressed through the willful acts of the body. It involves one's whole being and thus is not surrendered by means of brute force or by singular acts. This understanding is the basis for Hardy's insistence upon Tess's purity. She had lost her virginity, yes, but had done so as a victim of, not only the man who took it from her, but also a culture characterized by sexual repression and hypocrisy [...]
The sexual mores of my own conservative evangelical culture are often described as "Victorian" and sometimes justifiably so. The questions being raised from both within and without this community about the meaning and value of virginity and "purity" within a more holistic approach to healthy and virtuous sexuality are important ones.
Mrs. Swallow Prior's pretty words are just Christo-feminist code for saying Don't shame the sluts! This comes in part from the desire to be liked and accepted by liberal culture. It is clear that we live in a country where the liberals have won; they are in charge and what they say goes. Christian women are no different than women in general in that they just love a winner. Slut culture has won, so Christian women are beginning to turn on purity culture with angry cries.
It is also the fact that Christian women are subject to all the same hypergamous desires that other women are. Young Christian women want to mess around before settling down, so older women, rather than following Titus 2:3-5, which says:
Older women likewise are to be reverent in behavior, not slanderers or slaves to much wine. They are to teach what is good, 4 and so train the young women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled, pure, working at home, kind, and submissive to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be reviled.
instead seem intent on making sure Christian girls face no judgment in the church for their sexual promiscuity. In our present day, young unmarried Christian women are generally sexually active just like secular women are, with the only difference being that they have traditionally faced mild social censure from the church. If conservative evangelical women have their way, these young women will be freed from that one last, small constraint.
Why does this matter? Why should Christian women be exhorting one another to maintain their sexual virtue before marriage? We all know the obvious reasons, like avoiding unintended pregnancy or sexually transmitted diseases, but here are three that I think are just as important.
1. Maintaining female virginity until marriage is Biblical. You wouldn't think I'd even need to say that on a Christian blog, but I actually got into a disagreement recently at the Orthosphere with a man who did not believe that the Bible says that women are supposed to be virgins when they get married. I won't spend a lot of time here, but in case you aren't sure, the Bible does tell women to maintain their purity; here are a handful of verses for you to check out. God doesn't tell women to avoid sexual sin because He wants to oppress us; He tells us to avoid it because He didn't create women's bodies and minds to function properly when coupled with more than one man.
2. A woman with previous sexual partners has an increased risk of divorce. The Social Pathologist cites a recent study which found that:
Women who cohabit prior to marriage or who have premarital sex have an increased likelihood of marital disruption. Considering the joint effects of premarital cohabitation and premarital sex, as well as histories of premarital relationships, extends previous research. The most salient finding from this analysis is that women whose intimate premarital relationships are limited to their husbands—either premarital sex alone or premarital cohabitation—do not experience an increased risk of divorce. It is only women who have more than one intimate premarital relationship who have an elevated risk of marital disruption. This effect is strongest for women who have multiple premarital coresidental unions. These findings are consistent with the notion that premarital sex and cohabitation have become part of the normal courtship pattern in the United States. They do not indicate selectivity on characteristics linked to the risk of divorce and do not provide couples with experiences that lessen the stability of marriage.
3. Having previous sexual partners increases the likelihood that a wife will lose sexual attraction for her husband. The mechanism for this is multi-faceted but probably has to do with neurochemical bonding, microbiome bonding, and alpha widowhood; if the young woman has already bonded to another man, it is more difficult for her to bond with her husband, especially if he is less dominant than the other man was.
In the last thread, and in every thread on every website in the known universe where the subject of married sex comes up, men flock to say that they have experienced severely restricted sexual access in their marriages. This has always seemed so odd to me; women know that men like sex, so even if they don't feel attracted to their husbands, I've always wondered why they can't at least feign a little enthusiasm once a week, put on a negligee and give him twenty minutes of her time. But I think this is because I just don't know how deeply revolting it is for a woman to lie with a man to whom she isn't attracted. On the last thread, Novaseeker wrote:
Her body is screaming at her to not have sex with this man! It feels like having sex with her brother, or like rape — just absolutely degrading. So she is angry that he wants sex with her, angry at him for not being attractive enough, for acting like he's entitled to sex with her, for taking her for granted by not being attractive and so on — she's angry, she wants retribution, she wants to inflict pain, and she also wants to control the sexual situation so that she can avoid having icky rape sex with a man her body is screaming at her to run away from sexually and find another man (and his seed for her remaining eggs).
I think the disgust must be worse than I've always assumed, and the really sad part is that it probably isn't under her conscious control. There may or may not be much she can do if her brain and body decide she's no longer attracted to him, but for some possible ideas to consider, see my essay Advice for a former slut married to a beta provider to whom she is not sexually attracted (also, see this comment from Dalrock in the thread below). I don't think it's any coincidence that several men have described their wives fleeing the bed the minute sex is over to wash off the semen; her body is rejecting him as unfit to mate with, and semen is the very stuff that makes you pregnant, so it really isn't that surprising that a woman who isn't attracted to her husband is particularly repulsed by contact with his semen. Given this, shouldn't Christian women be redoubling their efforts to promote premarital chastity?
Even though to modern Christians, Mrs. Swallow Prior's article seems very reasonable and kind-hearted, simply motivated by wanting young women not to think that their entire worth is tied up in their bodies, nevertheless it is not a kindness. It is, rather, a great disservice and leads young Christian women to believe that they can be sexually active and, because there is no condemnation in Christ and He always forgives us when we ask, they can just repent later and face no consequences. What they do not understand, because Mrs. Swallow Prior does not tell them, is that they will still face grave earthly consequences for their sexual sin and that those consequences will affect not only them but also their husbands and children.

112 Organizations Endorse Quick Action to Restore Comprehensive Federal Worker Whistleblower Rights
(Washington) – A coalition of 112 religious, scientific, consumer, civil liberties, civil rights, peace, small-business, labor, libertarian, journalism, environmental, and good-government organizations, representing millions of Americans, is urging key U.S. Senate and House negotiators to agree to the strongest possible federal employee whistleblower protections and to deliver a bill this year to President Bush.
In a letter delivered to Capitol Hill yesterday, a diverse array of organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, Society of Professional Journalists, American Association of Small Business Owners, Consumers Union, the Liberty Coalition and the Rutherford Institute, praised congressional whistleblower rights leaders for the steps they have taken to conclude an eight-year struggle to provide meaningful whistleblower protections to federal employees.
The letter was spearheaded by the Government Accountability Project (GAP), Public Citizen, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO), and the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).
"POGO is proud to join our colleagues in support of this historic legislation to protect the courageous men and women willing to risk their careers and family to stand for the truth," stated POGO Director of Investigations Beth Daley.
"This is an unprecedented public mandate for freedom of speech when it counts the most – challenging abuses of power that betray the public trust," added GAP Legal Director Tom Devine. "It also reaffirms voters' demands for stronger whistleblower protections. The public, and the groups that represent them, define that to mean jury trials for all employees paid by the taxpayers. Whistleblowers are the public's eyes and ears against government corruption sustained by secrecy."
Last year, both the House and Senate passed versions of whistleblower rights legislation designed to restore meaningful protections to federal employees who expose waste, fraud, abuse, and illegality. Over the past several months, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee have been meeting informally to resolve differences between the two bills. Sens. Daniel Akaka (D-Hawaii), Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.), and Susan Collins (R-Maine) are championing the measure in the Senate. In the House, lead sponsors and negotiators include Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), Tom Davis (R-Va.), Todd Platts (R-Pa.), and Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.).
"This legislation is an essential building block toward restoring a more accountable, responsible, and effective government for all of its citizens," added GAP Legislative Representative Adam Miles. "The congressional offices deserve recognition for the marathon commitments they've put forth toward making this reform a reality."
In the letter, the 112 groups offer their support to "expeditiously conclude" the reconciliation of the two bills. The letter stipulates that certain reforms must be part of a meaningful, final comprehensive whistleblower law, such as:
· Ensuring that the fundamental right to a jury trial in a federal court is provided to all federal employees;
· Including specific protections for scientist-whistleblowers; and
· Extending meaningful protections for national security whistleblowers at the FBI and intelligence agencies.
"Government workers who warn us of waste, fraud and abuse should be protected, not punished," said David Arkush, director of Public Citizen's Congress Watch division. "All federal employees – including scientists, contractors, and intelligence agents – should be able to expose wrongdoing without fear of reprisal. Congress should send a bill with an unmistakable message to the White House: We stand by the patriots who keep the public trust." Arkush also noted that the critical reforms for government scientists and national security whistleblowers passed the House by an overwhelming, veto-proof margin, despite a threat from the administration to veto the House bill, H.R. 985.
Francesca T. Grifo, Ph.D., UCS senior scientist and director of the Scientific Integrity Program, highlighted the specific need to protect government scientists. "Whether it is unsafe drugs, defective toys or environmental degradation, we depend on federal whistleblowers to protect us from harm. Of the thousands of scientists we have surveyed at nine federal agencies, 1,100 have told us that they fear retaliation if they express concerns about their agency's mission-driven work. Federal whistleblower law must protect scientists who report efforts to alter or suppress vitally needed federal research."
Other organizations endorsing the letter include Common Cause, the American Association for Justice, the National Treasury Employees Union, American Federation of Government Employees, National Taxpayers Union, and many more.

Utilizing Stealth and Discretion: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #33!
- Written by Tim Midura on Thursday, April 24 2014 and posted in Reviews
Beginning a new arc following the events of Northampton, IDW Publishing releases Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #33! Written by Tom Waltz from a story by Waltz, Kevin Eastman and Bobby Curnow with colors by Ronda Pattison, this issue sees the return of fan favorite Mateus Santolouco! The A cover by Santolouco features The Turtles standing menacingly in an alley seemingly right before Michelangelo causes a ruckus, while the B cover by Eastman is classic Turtles with the team set to pounce upon a group of thugs cast against a cityscape.
Back in New York City, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are getting back into the groove of things after their time away in Northampton, to be ready to face The Foot Clan again. Meanwhile, Casey Jones is still troubled over his father Hun's involvement with The Purple Dragons.
After an action-packed opening grabbing your attention, Waltz, Eastman and Curnow take it slow, reintroducing The Turtles back into NYC. This issue is dialogue-heavy with some great character moments, especially between Donatello and April, as well as Casey and Hun. We get a glimpse into the warped way Hun thinks what he's doing is truly for himself and how much he cares about Casey, so much so that you start to feel pity for him.
Mateus Santolouco excels in conflict, whether it's physical or emotional. The opening is paced perfectly and thrilling without even showing The Turtles, highlighting their maxim of being silent and disciplined. The conversation between Brooklyn and Hun underlines how various subtleties in facial expressions can really make a scene work. The collages of all the different memories inside Hun's head are a clever design by Santolouco. Plus, I'm happy to see Bebop and Rocksteady anywhere, even if it's for just a few panels.
This is a great jumping-on point for new readers as The Turtles are adjusting to life back in New York City, while Casey Jones' relationship with his father gets further explored. Being a relatively quiet issue ending on a somber note, I'm looking forward to The Turtles finishing their training and getting back to fighting The Foot!

Creating a sense of community by mixing other uses with retail projects is a change occurring in retail development, according to industry experts at the Urban Land Institute's Reinventing Retail Conference in Los Angeles, Feb. 16-17, 2006.
Adding new uses, such as a library or a post office, creates opportunities for retail as a generator of communities. This resurgence toward creating community in retail projects requires seven elements: cultural mix, multiple anchors, place-making, identity (branding), social retailing, identity retail (such as Apple), and event retail.
"People come to experience the overall environment that they don't get elsewhere," says William S. Taubman, chief operating officer, Taubman Centers Inc., Bloomfield Hills, MI. For example, during the Christmas season, Taubman Centers built 30-foot snow globes at a mall that provided an opportunity for children to become actors in various plays. The positive publicity generated by the project attracted visitors seeking to be entertained as well as to shop.
Building an environment where people want to come can be achieved by branding. "Branding is about engaging people and creating an identity," says Michael S. Rubin, president, MRA Intl.,Philadelphia. That identity should be localized and place-based, and there should be a connection between identity and the experience, he said.
"Find a way to give somebody something they won't forget," explains Steven Schussler of Minneapolis, creator of the Rainforest Cafe. His new venture, T-REX, will open in Kansas City in late April 2006. Schussler describes T-REX as an "interactive education experience" with dinosaurs, fossils, and space travel where the family can "eat, shop, explore, and discover." Schussler spent the past 6 years creating T-REX after he sold the Rainforest Café in 2000. Schussler says the first visit involves the "wow" factor; but after that, people come back because of good service. Demographics, level of education, and household income are critical factors in determining where to locate, he explained.
Creating a destination can involve any combination of entertainment, gaming, restaurants, student housing, shopping, or lifestyle retail, says Blake L. Cordish, vice president, The Cordish Co., Baltimore. The Cordish Co. uses public/private partnerships to create entertainment districts that hold public events and live music, such as the Power Plant in Baltimore; 4th Street Live in Louisville, KY; the Power & Light District in Kansas City, MO; and Ballpark Village in St. Louis. This use of public space with public events provides an engaging and welcoming venue for people to gather. Cordish says his venues draw from a regional perspective within a 1-hour drive time.
It is necessary to provide a reason for people to come to a retail center and experts agree that the best way of doing that is by creating a sense of community where people can interact, see and be seen, and be entertained. "There's a certain way of creating urban premises," says Yaromir Steiner, chief executive officer, Steiner + Associates, Columbus, OH. "We have lost track of that for the past 50 years; in that context, a mall is a mistake. In the past 10 years, we're becoming aware of the mistakes we made; errors of the past 50 years are being corrected."

Over the past few years, cities and towns in Indiana have made significant cuts in fire personnel because of the property tax caps that have been adopted: South Bend eliminated 49 positions and Kokomo 12 positions; Muncie laid off 32; and Logansport handed pink slips to 10. Closer to home, Gary laid off 34 firefighters.
While other communities have laid off fire personnel, Hammond has not, and I have no plans to do so. At the same time, we have cut or transferred 300 employees from the payroll paid through property taxes during the past eight years. Yet the costs of operating the city have continued to rise.
Given the efforts we already have taken to reduce spending in other departments, we have to look to see how we can operate our fire and police departments in the most efficient manner possible without sacrificing public safety.
In the past few months, we have chosen to leave vacant or reassign several support and inspector positions. I reached out to representatives of Firefighters Local 556, hoping to identify additional ways to reduce manning while providing an appropriate level of protection. Unfortunately, we were not able to come to an agreement on how to accomplish the needed reductions.
Given the current contract with our firefighters and an obligation to reduce cost, I was left with no other choice but to not man one of Hammond's four aerial units and to reassign personnel. That aerial unit remains available should it be needed for a major fire, when the Fire Department calls out extra personnel.
Even with the reduction, Hammond maintains more aerial units (three fully manned, one in reserve) than any other department in Northwest Indiana, along with seven engines and four ambulances. Hammond also has mutual aid agreements with a number of surrounding communities in the event that such assistance is needed.
Only two cities north of Indianapolis — South Bend with 25 percent more residents than Hammond,and Fort Wayne with a population more than three times that of our city — maintain four fully manned aerial units.
We will continue to make fire and police protection a top priority in Hammond, but we also will seek to reduce unnecessary cost whenever possible.
Thomas McDermott Jr. is mayor of Hammond. The opinions are the writer's.

Replaced the 15 year old original shock absorbers with these KONI STR.T Orange shocks. Wanted an improvement over OEM performance, but not too harsh. Am very pleased with the ride quality offered by these KONI Orange shocks.
Pleased, surprised
Reviewed By Derek D (GARDEN CITY, ID) Reviewed for a 2011 Volkswagen GTI —9/18/2014 3:33 AM
I purchased my GTI used and it had H&R springs with stock shocks/struts. With the Koni STR.T + H&R, the ride is less harsh. I was very surprised to feel this, but it is definately less harsh on big bumps and jolts. The car feels more controlled, especially during mid-corner bumps, much less bounce and jounce. I do not notice any less dive or squat. I can't say the car feels significantly flatter on turns. Overall, I am very pleased with the outcome.
Do not buy unless you want your S2000 to handle like a minivan
Reviewed By Duc N (Pearland, TX) Reviewed for a 2007 Honda S2000 —9/11/2014 8:58 AM
These shocks are way too soft for the car. I purchased these and installed on my S2000. They turned the car to a minivan. Body roll is terrible making the car unsafe on turns. I called AutoAnything to suggest return but they said no because I already installed on my car. I think the customer satisfaction policy needs to change. This is my $350 mistake and I hope other fellow Honda S2000 owners will avoid.

Board from the GODS

This board, I feel is the best board you can buy for all mountain riding. The Medium soft flex allows my to Jib/Jump/Carve/Cruise like no other. The TBT really is what they make it up to be. It lets your board dig into the snow with insane controlling ability. When riding straight. the lifted edges keep the board straight wile not having to keep an edge in the snow. Camber is the only way to go with these boards. The camber lets them make softer boards with all the pop needed.
Having said all that. Triple Base Technology does take some getting use too. At first you may want to throw the board away on the first run, please give it some getting used to. After riding this board 2 more runs. you will never go back to a "Flat Base" board again.
Bataleon for life. Yeah for it.

Evil twin is so gangster! If you can only have one board in your bag make sure the Evil Twin is it. Kills it. Everywhere. It's ok to downsize a bit on these boards.

this model is a lil different from last years still a great board but seems to give a lil bit more the flex seems to be a lil more this year so a softer board also this year the tbt or triple base goes from tip to tail it a fun board but sometimes you cant load the pop that you want like last year because it gives a lil but a shorter board is the way to go with this model tho i got a 154 its the same size as a 156 or so but mo worries gona be great in pow jumping is sick and so is buttering great board just a wee bit softer than last years and also the tbt is the whole board this year hope this helps

I feel miserable and cold.
" Cheer up and smile" I've been told.
It doesn't make me feel better,
Not even when writing a letter.
I tried to fake a smile,
It doesn't work for a while.
Why must it be a day like this?
Because of a loved one I miss?
Why when I see him tonight,
I have to concentrate with all my might.
If only the sun would shine,
Now would be the right time.

"We are tremendously proud to have achieved LEED Portfolio Volume certification," says Stop & Shop president and CEO, Jose Alvarez. "At Stop & Shop, we are deeply committed to corporate social responsibility and believe it is important to embed sustainability in every part of our company. This achievement is proof of our commitment to and our success in leading the industry in green and energy efficient operations and buildings."
According to the USGBC, buildings in the United States account for 39 percent of total energy use, 71 percent of electricity consumption and 36 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
LEED Portfolio Volume Certification enables building owners to integrate the LEED green building rating system into existing buildings in their company's portfolio in a cost effective way without sacrificing the technical rigor and integrity of LEED. The Portfolio Program recognizes market leaders who have committed to and achieved high levels of LEED certification within their portfolio.
"Stop & Shop is a true leader in green building," notes Richard Fedrizzi, president, CEO and founding chair, U.S. Green Building Council. "Many people think that only new buildings can be green. At Stop & Shop, they understand that there's a lot that can be done to improve a building's energy efficiency and minimize its impact on the environment."
Stop & Shop's LEED Portfolio Volume Certification was based on a number of green design and construction features that positively impact the project itself and the broader community. These features include recycling, solid waste management, and water conservation, white reflective TPO roof membrane, daylight harvesting, T5 florescent lighting systems with dimmable ballasts and occupancy sensors controlled by state-of-the-art energy management systems, refrigeration systems with high-efficiency fan motors, low energy glass, and more.
For years, Stop & Shop has been committed to protecting the environment and improving the quality of life of its associates, customers and residents of the communities in which it operates through various programs and initiatives. The organization also recently earned recognition for superior energy performance of their supermarkets by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). They were the only supermarket chain in the country and the only company in New England to be named an Energy Star Leader in 2007.
About Stop & ShopThe Stop & Shop Supermarket Company, based in Quincy, MA, employs more than 59,000 associates and operates 389 stores throughout Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, and New Jersey.
About USGBC The U.S. Green Building Council is a nonprofit membership organization whose vision is a sustainable built environment within a generation. Its membership includes corporations, builders, universities, government agencies, and other nonprofit organizations. Since USGBC's founding in 1993, the Council has grown to more than 13,000 member companies and organizations, a comprehensive family of LEED® Green Building Rating Systems, an expansive educational offering, the industry's popular Greenbuild International Conference and Expo (www.greenbuildexpo.org), and a network of 72 local chapters, affiliates, and organizing groups.

About LEEDThe LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System™ is a feature-oriented rating system that awards buildings points for satisfying specified green building criteria. The six major environmental categories to review include: Sustainable Sites, Water Efficiency, Energy and Atmosphere, Materials and Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality and Innovation and Design. Certified, Silver, Gold, and Platinum levels of LEED green building certification are awarded based on the total number of points earned within each LEED category. LEED can be applied to all building types including new construction, commercial interiors, core and shell developments, existing buildings, homes, neighborhood developments, schools and retail facilities. LEED for Healthcare is currently under development and is expected to be released in early 2008. Incentives for LEED are available at the state and local level and LEED has also been adopted nationwide by federal agencies, state and local governments, and interested private companies.

Deal reportedly worth $110 million over 5 years Brad Biggs
The Green Bay Packers maintained since the season ended that signing Aaron Rodgers to a new contract was a top priority for them.
Now, they can move on to their next goal.
The club announced this afternoon that it has signed Rodgers to a contract extension, one that has made him the highest-paid player in the NFL. Rodgers was under contract through 2014, but his contract was well below market value as a former MVP and Super Bowl champion.
"Aaron is a true professional and a special player," Green Bay general manager Ted Thompson said in a statement. "He works hard, is humble, and is focused on his actions, on and off the field. He is an excellent teammate and pushes himself and others to be the very best. We are happy to reach an agreement to extend his career with the Packers."
According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the contract is worth $110 million over five seasons. The annual average of $22 million puts Rodgers at the top of the NFL's pay scale.

Hi- This is a Smith and Hawken outdoor copper oil lamp that has never been used. It includes a long lasting wick, holds 30 ounces of lamp oil or citronella oil, and burns for about 35 hours. This comes in its original box. The light would be lovely in the summer, lighting steps, walkways, and outdoor seating areas. Thanks for looking!

Different Weapons' Sensitivity Bind
30th Jul 2000, 11:43 PM
Does anyone knows how to bind a diff sensitivity for each of the different weapons?
30th Jul 2000, 11:51 PM
hmmm...i dont quite understand what you are saying...
but if you mean mouse sensitivity, i dont believe you can do that
30th Jul 2000, 11:53 PM
in normal UT or are you talking about a mod?
31st Jul 2000, 12:04 AM
Sorry.. I am talking about in a normal UT game.
When I switch to my sniper.. my X-axis sensitivity of my mouse will 3.0.
When I switch to my rockets.. my X-axis sensitivity of my mouse will 8.0.
When I switch to my mini.. my X-axis sensitivity of my mouse will 6.0.
cuz I know in Quake 3.. u can do that..wonder if there is anyway to do that in UT.
Tetris L
31st Jul 2000, 02:37 AM
You can not set the sensitivity per axis; only x/y combined.
The command would be
getweapon <weapon> | set Engine.PlayerPawn MouseSensitivity <value>
For example
getweapon UT_Eightball | set Engine.PlayerPawn MouseSensitivity 8
I hope it works; havn't tested. ;) Pls test and post results.
Go to the site in my signature for a guide on keybinding.
31st Jul 2000, 02:39 AM
Thanks a lot Pal!!! It Works!!!
This is a neat bind!!! Thanks again!
But there is only 1 slight flaw, that is if u were
to keep pressing that weapon bind of urs, the screen would keep jerking everytime u press the key, probably due to the changes made to the game engine.. I guess?
31st Jul 2000, 04:26 AM
So, is greater the number more sensitive or lower the number? I keep forgetting that one. And if that bind works...then can someone increase the sensitivity of the translocator to fire it faster? What is the benefits of this bind...I'm at work and haven't tried them out...
Tetris L
31st Jul 2000, 04:56 AM
I've had that problem with the screen hanging for a split second with some 'set' commands. I'm afraight there is nothing you can do about it.
the TL delay, that you're talking about, has probably to do with online lag, right?! Offline, it fires instantly. But offline it is delayed by the ping time. This is one of the most severe disadvantages for HPBs ... they can't t/l really fast.
31st Jul 2000, 05:43 AM
No, I know that...I'm talking about the possibilities of making the fire and alt fire buttons respond faster for a quicker transition. But, never mind...I was only using that as an example. But, will a higher number increase the sensitivity...it should...but I just wanted some guidance on that:)
31st Jul 2000, 07:19 AM
The sensitivity just has to do with how fast your crosshairs move compared to how much you're moving your mouse...
That's a really cool command though, I'd like to have the sensitivity lower when I'm sniping then when I'm rocket whor[/i]ing! :)
31st Jul 2000, 08:10 AM
Ahh, ok...I thought he was talking about button click sensitivity...doh...I should of read it correctly...damn work has made me senile:).
31st Jul 2000, 10:11 AM
so exactly what does the whole binding thing do? just allow you to fire the weapon faster? can this be preset or do you have to hit ~ and type it in all the time?
31st Jul 2000, 06:59 PM
Thanks cleaner anyway!!

Bypass 4 now fiasco all the way around
10/01/12 at 8:20am by Letters Editor | Comments
Who was in charge of designing the fiasco we call the "Route 4 Bypass?" Time and gas are wasted driving a quarter of a mile out of the way to make a legal U-turn, instead of just allowing drivers to make a left turn onto the bypass. There are more traffic lights, which means more […]

Traffic signals need better operators
04/03/12 at 7:58am by Letters Editor | Comments
I fully agree with "Real solution to traffic is synchronized signals" (March 31); however, it is not as easy with today's computer technologies. Three or four years ago, Ohio DOT installed the relatively expensive synchronized traffic signal technologies along Ohio Route 125 – Beechmont Avenue – between Salem Road and Withamsville. At times one can […]
Real solution to traffic is synchronized signals
04/02/12 at 8:58am by Letters Editor | Comments
Kudos to The Enquirer for the story about traffic wasting time and fuel ("Traffic costs US billions in fuel, time," March 26). However the story missed the most cost-effective solution to much of the problem – namely for every city to synchronize all traffic lights using a central citywide system. The greatest cause of traffic […]
Proliferation of stop lights waste fuel

A couple of things about raising the speed limit on Ohio interstates: 1. The objection based on saving fuel is a non-starter. Who wants to go back to the Jimmy Carter malaise-based 55? Cars can get an infinite number of MPG if you leave them in the garage. My diesel car actually gets better mileage […]
On-ramp traffic lights make things worse
03/10/10 at 4:49pm by Letters Editor | Comments
After four short months it is apparent to me that the metered on-ramp light system is causing more delays than it is relieving. I enter Interstate 74 each day after traveling down the Montana Avenue hill. Traffic consistently sits from halfway down the hill to wait to even get to the ramp before we can […]
Lights are wrong answer for highway ramps
11/19/09 at 11:06pm by Letters Editor | Comments
So the new Interstate 74 ramp signals have made traffic worse, not better ("Motorists see red over I-74 ramp signals," Nov. 18). The entire problem is caused solely by motorists who barrel out of the on ramps without looking and expect everybody else to get out of their way, instead of yielding the right of […]
