As a former parent and longtime trustee of The Baltimore Lab School, I can attest that this gem in Baltimore City is a place of warmth and welcome to a child needing a specialized learning environment. Art and color fill the halls and classrooms, inviting the child inside to see that there is finally a place where school can be a positive, happy space, one that begins where each student is ready to start and sets an individualized pace for a journey to the future. My child attended the Baltimore Lab School from first through twelfth grade. Despite significant learning challenges, he flourished during his time there, steadily growing to become a college freshman on the Dean s List . Baltimore Lab School offers an arts-infused path to academic skill, personal confidence, and success.
In our case, BLS has more than lived up to its advertising. Our language-challenged daughter was at home in the Lower School there the first day she visited. Now thriving in every way, she's brimming with self confidence. Regarding the administrative team, they've been responsive every time we've needed them. I've been involved professionally with world recognized international schools for over 20 years, and I feel Baltimore Lab is a rare find. The entire teaching-leading team display daily a genuine level of concern for and support of children who simply learn differently. That's just plain impressive.
Baltimore Lab School is truly an amazing place, our daughter has been there for 2 years and we have seen a transformation in her skills and abilities. She now is on grade level in math, reading and has gained that much needed confidence kids with learning disabilities need to be successful. The teachers are caring and experienced educators that are passionate about teaching. Its been a wonderful experience.
Although the school has gone through leadership changes over the years, it remains true to its mission of providing an arts based, experiential learning environment for students who are bright, but a traditional classroom setting gets in the way of their learning. The results truly speak for themselves. Not only have students moved on to some top High Schools in the area (including Calvert Hall, Seton, and Carver Performing Arts), graduates are doing well in college and life. Grads are attending a variety of colleges, including McDaniel, Goucher, St. Mary's, and UMBC locally. For my child, Baltimore Lab was the perfect place to understand strengths, weaknesses, and develop a strategy with the confidence to execute it and achieve success. Students for whom Baltimore Lab is the right place don't fit neatly in any box, neither does the school. The Academic Club process delivers amazing results that serve students from their elementary years into college. Creativity, Creative Problem Solving, Self-Awareness, and Self-Advocacy are welcomed, developed, and enhanced at every grade level. You have to visit the school and/or talk with alumni to truly understand the gem it is.
The Baltimore Lab School teachers know how to teach. They are passionate about their subject matter and students. I really appreciate how they made learning fun, challenging, relevant, and experiential for my son Mark.
This was a great school that has declined due to constant changing of administration and staff. Enrollment and staff is at its lowest point in 5 years. They have lost the original mission of the school. It is no longer arts based.
The reviews stating that staff are high quality while the leadership is disorganized, unhelpful, unaccountable, and out of touch are accurate. The review from a "teacher" was most likely submitted by one of those administrators. I found interacting with those in charge to be extremely frustrating.
The Lab School has a great arts program and for kids that are struggling it can be a great place. However many students there, like myself, only needed a little help in certain areas. The curriculum tended to cater to the kids who were having the most trouble learning in a normal school setting which caused students like myself to be held back from moving forward. The school's management is quite disorganized and was not helpful when my parents wanted to secure State Financial Aid. Dealing with administration was very difficult honestly on a host of separate issues as well.
Wonderful teachers. I work for an outside company so I can say that as a professional and without bias. No school is perfect, and naturally there will be problems here and there, but overall it's a fabulous place. The faculty is what makes the school and almost every single one I've encountered has been so passionate about their work. The teachers are so creative and know how to engage their students. The specialists are really impressive- some of the best I've seen in the field. Having come from another unnamed public school classroom in which the days felt 12 hours long and I often wondered why some of those teachers chose their their profession, the Lab School is such a breath of fresh air.
My son tried so hard in the public school and Charter schools only to fail. He had such low esteem. My child only had thoughts of giving up on his education as soon as he possibly could. The Lab school made all the difference in a child that only had thoughts of quitting school become a confident young man When all our hopes were almost gone, the Lab school gave my son everything he needed. We found out he loves art , school and friends. He even became a peer leader for the younger children. He has become a successful, witty and confident young man. He now accepts that he just could not learn the same way as most other children. The Lab school did this for him. During the last year, my son has only thoughts about college. He plans to pursue a degree in Education of all things. He wants to give other children struggling the hope that he always needed. I am without a doubt grateful to the Baltimore Lab School and the proudest mother ever!
Strong arts program in lower school. Very accepting and tolerant staff, especially with highly disruptive ADHD students. Unfortunately the school is very disorganized which makes it very hard to help students who struggle with the same problem. Constantly changing administrators, little accountability on any level.
The Baltimore Lab School is an amazing place for children to learn!!! Children with learning differences are exposed to a variety of teaching strategies in order for them to succeed. The staff is truly outstanding and creative. My son would love it if all children could go to a school like LAB!
Baltimore Lab changed my son's life. He was behind several grade levels in every subject when he started there. He is now at or ahead of grade level in every subject. They teach the whole child, with great results!

Monday, a teen got a new sentence, for helping kill a friend's stepfather at the age of 12.
Paul Gingerich is now 15-years-old.
Back in 2010, he pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder in the shooting of Phillip Danner, 49, at his home near Lake Wawasee.
He was initially treated as an adult, but the Indiana appeals court threw out that verdict.
Monday in court, Gingerich was sentenced to 25 years under state supervision.
Once he turns 18, he can serve his sentence in a group home, on parole, or in a maximum-security facility.
It all depends on his behavior.
Danner's stepson, Colt Lundy, was 15 at the time of the murder, and sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Charlotte Business Leaders Back Panthers Stadium
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Charlotte business leaders are backing plans to improve the Carolina Panthers stadium.
The Panthers are asking for $144 million from the city of Charlotte and $62 million from the state of North Carolina to upgrade Bank of America Stadium.
The total project is expected to cost about $250 million.
City officials are asking state lawmakers to approve a 1 percentage point increase in Charlotte's prepared food tax in exchange for the team agreeing to stay in Charlotte for 15 years.
Chamber of Commerce Chairman Brett Carter says raising the taxes will be necessary to improve the stadium.
Panthers President Danny Morrison gave a closed-door briefing to the chamber's board of directors on Monday.
Legislative leaders say it will be hard to find $62 million in a tight state budget.

Beartown State Park, Route 219, Hillsboro, W. Va., (304) 653-4254, www.beartownstatepark.com, free. Droop there it is! A natural park of 107 acres located on the eastern summit of Droop Mountain. The land was purchased in part from a donation made by Mrs. Edwin G. Polan, to honor her son whom she lost in the Vietnam War.
Berkeley Springs State Park, 2 S. Washington St., Berkeley Springs, W. Va., (304) 258-2711, www.berkeleyspringssp.com. In 1748, George Washington took a dip in these springs and he wrote in his diary, "We this day called to see Ye Fam'd Warm Springs." Looks like even the first president of the United States has to make a reservation. Well if it's good enough for G.W., maybe it's worth a shot. See if you can handle the maximum temperature, 102 degrees Fahrenheit, then reward yourself with a massage.
Blackwater Falls State Park, Davis, W. Va., (304) 259-5216, www.blackwaterfalls.com. These amber-colored falls get their tan from fallen hemlock and red spruce needles-if only it were that easy, huh ladies? And they fall like a rollercoaster, dropping off five stories then twisting and tumbling though an eight-mile gorge. Why not splurge for a cabin, no one roughs it anymore.
Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge, 2591 Whitehall Neck Road, Smyrna, Del., (302) 653-6872, www.fws.gov/northeast/bombayhook/ $4 a car. This refuge has one of the largest unaltered tidal salt marsh in the Mid-Atlantic region. That means lots of plant and animal life. In the summer months the first whitetail deer fawns take their first steps, baby eagles leave the nest, and water lilies bloom. City Paper sizzlin' hot tip: These are swamps so bring your bug spray, folks.
Cabin John Regional Park, 7400 Tuckerman Lane, Rockville, (301) 299-4555, www.mcparkandplanning.org/trails/trails_maps/cabin_john.shtm. Hiking, biking, tennis, and baseball, oh my! How you will decide what to do once you get there, we don't know. You can even ice skate. And you thought this was a summer guide. Ha.
Calvert Cliffs State Park, Route 765, Lusby, (301) 743-7613, www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/southern/calvertcliffs.html, $5 per car. Yah sure, if you get a permit, you can hunt for turkey, deer, and rabbit. But why not take the peaceful route and grab some fossils instead? Over 600 species of fossils have been identified from these cliffs, and besides, turkey hunting is permitted only during the "spring gobbler season." Seriously, that's what the web site said.
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park, Brunswick, (301) 739-4200, www.nps.gov/choh, $3-$5 for 3 days. What was once a lifeline for communities and businesses to transport coal, lumber, and grain is now all fun all the time. You are free to hike and bike around or take a trip back in time with a canal ride. But you know what people like best about this park? The mules! And they love the attention and each one has his own personality.
Crooked Creek Horse Park and Trail, R.D. 6, Box 279 G, Friendship Plaza, Kittanning, Pa., (724) 845-4502, www.crookedcreekhorsepark-faha.com, fees are based on usage. Quit horsin' around, it's time to pitch a tent, start a fire, roast marshmallows, and sleep out under the stars. Ghost stories optional.
Fair Hill Natural Resources Management Area, Routes 273 and 213, Elkton, (410) 398-1246, www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/central/fairhill.html. Fair Hill is known for its pristine fields, woodlands, and natural beauty. You know what that sounds like to us? Strap on a helmet, slip into some spandex, and bike like hell.
Greenbrier State Forest, near White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., (304) 536-1944, www.greenbriersf.com. Pack up the family and tell them and it's time for a day with Mother Nature. Put together a picnic; bring sunscreen, beach towels, and maybe a Frisbee. When you get there, surprise `em with a chlorinated, heated, outdoor pool.
Gwynns Falls Trail, Leakin Park, (410) 396-0440, www.gwynnsfallstrail.org. Need to just get away for some one-on-one with nature, but don't have all day to drive? Gwynn Falls is a not-so-little treasure waiting for you to discover. We would have never guessed that one of the largest wilderness woodland parks in the Eastern United States is right here in the city. Nice.
Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, 1700 Hawk Mountain Road, (610) 756-6961, www.hawkmountain.org, $3-$7. Aka, nature's greatest air show. As of early May, 3,952 red-tailed hawks, 204 bald eagles, and 48 unidentified raptors have been seen flying over the sanctuary. There were 21,155 others, but we picked a couple with cool names. Grab your binoculars and get a piece of this action. Listen closely and you might hear the songbirds in the Kittatinny Ridge. (We just like saying Kittatinny . . . Kittatinny.)
Marshy Point Nature Center, 7130 Marshy Point Road, (410) 887-2817, www.baltimorecountyonline.info/Agencies/recreation/countyparks/marshypoint/index.html. Have you ever canoed? It is a very Zen-like means to make your way down a lazy river. If you don't believe us, take a class here, they'll tell yah. City Paper sizzlin' hot tip: This is one of the few parks that's open at night for a moonlit hike. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.
Martinak State Park, 137 Deep Shore Road, Denton, (410) 820-1668, www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/eastern/martinak.html. George Martinak deeded this land of forests, fields, and marsh to the state in 1961 to be enjoyed by all. What a good guy. Now go make him happy and partake in recreation.
Mountain Club of Maryland, 7923 Galloping Circle, (410) 377-6266, www.mcomd.org. The MCM is a volunteer-run, Baltimore-based, not-for-profit organization. Their primary focus is to provide an opportunity to enjoy and learn about nature. They remind us of a principle that holds true for all parks in this guide and everywhere around the world, "Leave No Trace." Simply put, if you packed it in, pack it out. Umkay?
Oregon Ridge Nature Center and Park, 13555 Beaver Dam Road, Hunt Valley, (410) 887-1815, www.oregonridge.org. This place is so beautiful it's a close second to the real Oregon. (That's pronounced "ore-gen" not "ora-gone.") All year long, there is a lot going on at Oregon Ridge. Summertime brings music in the woods, playing in the stream, and plenty of informative courses so your brain doesn't get rusty with all that vacation time.
Patapsco Valley State Park, 8020 Baltimore National Pike, Ellicott City, (410) 461-5005, www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/central/patapscovalley.html, $2. Whooo hooo!!! It's tubing time! Good times! Good freaking times! Seriously, you have got to do it! This summer. Don't wait any longer. It is so fun.
Pemberton Historical Park, Pemberton Drive, Salisbury, (410) 548-4900, www.dnr.state.md.us/baylinks/27.html. You are probably going to wish this historic Eastern Shore plantation house was where you lived. It is all brick, even the roof, and has white trim. You would enjoy the peace and quiet of 207 surrounding acres all to yourself and in your free time you could fish in your pond where tidal and fresh water wetlands meet. Home sweet home, until the park closes.
Purse State Park, 2750 Sweden Point Road, Marbury, (301) 743-7613, www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/southern/purse.html. Purse likes to celebrate the animals. This summer they invite you on themed hikes: owl prowl, butterfly hike, birding by bike, and animals and their tales. Sounds cute, fun, and educational all in one.
Quiet Waters Park, 600 Quiet Waters Park Road, Annapolis, (410) 222-1777, www.aacounty.org/RecParks/Parks/quiet_waters_park/index.cfm, $5. We think you will find this park very sophisticated, starting with the South River Promenade with a scenic overlook. Then stroll across the wooden bridge. Finish your day at quaint waters-oops, Quiet Waters-with some photographs in the gazebo. By definition, a gazebo is a spot that commands a pleasant view. We think you will be very glad you stopped by.
Robert E. Lee Park, entrances off of Lake and Bellona avenues, (410) 396-0808. All of the web sites that were listed for R.E.L.P. were for serious bike enthusiasts and dog owners who like to spoil their pet and there's nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
Rock Creek Park, 5200 Glover Road NW, Washington, (202) 895-6070, www.nps.gov, free. The list of things to do at this park is endless, from roller blading to kayaking, tennis to horseback riding, bicycling to trail-blazing, and everything in between. This park is a gem in the busy hustle bustle that is the nation's capital. There is just one thing you don't want to do when you are visiting Rock Creek: Don't feed the coyotes.
Rocks State Park, 3318 Rocks Chrome Hill Road, Jarrettsville, (410) 557-7994, www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/central/rocks.html. All hail the king and queen of Rocks. That's you, when you sit upon a natural rock outcrop. Hope you're not afraid of heights, it's about 190 feet above Deer Creek. Nice adrenaline rush, rock on!
Rocky Gap State Park, 12500 Pleasant Valley Road, Flintstone, (301) 722-1480, www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/western/rockygap.html. Not as many rocks as Rocks State Park, but if you wanted to, you could throw a rock show here. Honestly, for just 250 bucks you can rent their amphitheater. The stage is 42 feet by 60 feet, smooth and rose colored and the theatre seats 3,000. Charge a dollar for your shindig and hot damn, you do the math.
Sassafras River Natural Resource Management Area, 12 miles north of Chestertown on Turner's Creek Road, (410) 820-1668, www.kentcounty.com. This area is a melting pot of terrains. In just 1,000 acres of land, you've got farmland, mature forests, marshlands, and sandy beaches. And you know what else? Sassafras has the cutest little critters.
Seneca Creek State Park, 11950 Clopper Mill Road, Gaithersburg, (301) 924-2127, www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/central/seneca.html. If you're feeling like a challenge hike this 6,300 acre park. Just kidding, a more reasonable trek would be 16.5 mile Seneca Creek Greenway Trail which follows the entire course of the river.
Susquehanna State Park, 3318 Rocks Chrome Hill Road, Jarrettsville, (410) 557-7994, www.dnr.state.md.us/publiclands/central/susquehanna.html. Perhaps we saved the best for last. Susquehanna has everything those other parks have: hiking, fishing, biking, camping, and picnic areas. In addition to all that fun, there is the Steppingstone Museum, with rural arts and crafts from 1880-1920. And Susquehanna is home to the Rock Run Grist Mill that has been running since 1794.

WASHINGTON - An expert on the non-profit industry says it's hard to tell if breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure could have avoided the backlash this week when it announced it would pull grants for breast cancer from Planned Parenthood, and later reversed that decision.
Lewis Faulk, Assistant Professor at American University's School of Public Affairs, says it's hard to tell if the firestorm involving this highly respected non-profit could have been avoided.
Tuesday we learned Komen had stopped offering breast screening grants to Planned Parenthood because that group is the subject of an abortion funding investigation in Congress. Following a huge public outcry, Komen abandoned its decision Friday and apologized.
Faulk thinks Komen's initial decision to halt breast screening grants to Planned Parenthood was made to protect donors, and to try to direct money where it can be most effective. He says it doesn't appear Komen's initial move was politically motivated.
However, he says Komen should have anticipated trouble.
"Because of their reliance on donations, they had to know that this kind of decision would go against many of their donors across the country and many of their affiliates," Faulk says.
For Planned Parenthood, the controversy has led to a windfall.
"They've experienced a huge influx in gifts in response to this decision by Komen. For Komen though, it is certainly a P.R. nightmare to say the least," says Faulk.
Looking to the future, Faulk thinks Komen's longstanding relationship with Planned Parenthood will continue.
"They do see eye to eye on many issues, and they're working together collaboratively towards a common mission," he says. "They're both aligned in this common interest to serve women, to defeat cancer, and to provide early screening."
Faulk says what happened this week proves one thing for nonprofits.
"Seemingly simple decisions can have huge impacts on their public perception and the trust that the donors give them."

Beautiful home in the PERFECT location
My family had a lovely stay in this home. It is minutes to all the best attractions. Recent renovations left the home a bit dusty with a layer of grit on counters and tables. Just a few minutes clean up. Otherwise it was delightful. We are hoping to stay again next year.
Beautiful Home
My husband and I stayed here with 4 teenagers to celebrate their recent high school graduation. The property was exactly as described, and Rick could not have been more helpful and easy to reach. While there, we visited Universal Studios, Disney, and Sea World. Each location was no more than a 30 minute drive, and it would have been less if there hadn't been heavy traffic. The house is also very close to several grocery/convenience stores. I highly recommend this property and would stay here again. Thanks, Rick, for helping us make some great memories before the kids went off to college!

One of the most valuable attributes an accomplished steelhead fisherman can have is versatility. The steelheader who relies on one technique to fool spring steelhead is severely limiting his chances. His chosen technique might be dynamite for that particular day or particular river- or it might fail miserably. By mastering the art of bottom-bouncing, casting in-line spinners and using plugs or crankbaits, the savvy steelheader can hit the river with a triple threat for spring steelheads.

text: 'Girls' Star Lena Dunham Won't Marry 'Til Same-Sex Marriage Legal Print article Send a Tip by Breitbart News 15 Jan 2013 post a comment Lena Dunham is taking a page out of actor/activist Brad Pitt's playbook. Pitt once vowed he wouldn't get married -- again -- until gay and lesbian couples had the right to do the same. Now, Dunham's current beau says Dunham has taken a similar vow. According to the Daily Mail, Dunham said backstage, "I don't want to get married until all gay people can get married." Pitt appears to have wavered on his pledge, recently revealing how much the idea of marrying the mother of his children, Angelina Jolie, means to both him and their children.

Stay up-to-date with KAKE News:
Update: Wednesday, August 8, 2012
Before celebrations could begin, every candidate was cautious in declaring victory last night.
"It looks as though there's still some precincts to be counted, so this is not a victory celebration yet," said Marc Bennett, to his watch party supporters shortly after 11 p.m.
The delay in reporting was just one of the problems from the Sedgwick County Election Office.
The main confusion surrounded the first batch of results. Those results showed 92% of precincts reporting, when in fact, those numbers were only from advance ballot votes. A button was selected incorrectly on the computer system.
"We are very sorry for the confusion that it caused. Apparently, this is not the first time this has happened. I have learned that this has happened here before. It's just that those people aren't here anymore so we learned again not to do that," said Tabitha Lehman, Sedgwick County Election Commissioner.
Lehman blames turnover in the office and a reduction in staff for the glitches. She also said she was expecting a lower turnout for the primary.
"If we'd been staffed at that 25%, they probably would've been okay, but then we had a few sites that really had to work harder and we feel very bad about that," said Lehman.
Even Sedgwick County Commissioner Dave Unruh was asked about the problems by voters.
"That's where the frustration is, not only waiting but wondering about accuracy. In the final analysis, I think accuracy is not an issue, but some of the timing of this can be improved," said Unruh.
Lehman said additional training on the reporting process will be provided to the staff before the Nov. 6th general election.

Wednesday, August 8, 2012
For candidates, election night is nerve racking.
So much time and effort, all leads up to one night.
But Tuesday night's election took the waiting game to a whole new level.
Final results were not released until 11:15 p.m. The reason?
Apparently a wrong box was checked on the computer system, indicating a majority of the precincts had been reported. However it was only the advance voting ballots that had been tallied.
A mistake the election commissioner blames on inexperience.
"We did not want to make any mistakes and then have to come to you and say you know what, we made a mistake," said Tabitha Lehman.
The error even causing some candidates to give early concession speeches.
"While there's still some precincts coming in, I think the gap is wide enough that it's pretty clear that the voters of Sedgwick County want Jeff Easter to be their next sheriff," Bob Hinshaw, republican candidate for sheriff, said.
But in fact, those numbers that were posted were only the advance ballot votes that had been tallied.
"That's what caused the confusion early on is because that was recorded as saying you know I think it was over two-hundred precincts had reported when all it was was advanced voting and that wasn't all the numbers for that precinct," Lehman said.
The election office then tried to double and triple-check the results before posting. The extra scrutiny took more time.
Lehman blames the mistake on lack of preparation time inexperience and short-staffing.
"You know I'm new, and the person doing the programming was new, and so yes, we've had some turnover," Lehman said. "We've had some reduction in staff, so you know it's all part of the economy."
Lehman said that she will use the mistakes made last night as a learning tool, and says that the election office will make changes to make sure they are not repeated.

The first time I've felt an energy boost from CoQ10 - including ubiquinol - which suggests that the delivery system really does make a difference. And I guess if you see these as providing both your CoQ10 & your omega 3 they're not so expensive after all.

Wow. I'm still not sure if it is just coincidence, but the pains in my legs I've been suffering with for about a year disappeared within days of starting these capsules. I wasn't taking them for that. Only got them because I read these two things are good for you in a general sort of way. I have stopped and started them again with the same result. I don't know the origin of the pain but it seems to respond to these pills.

I've tried A LOT of CoQ10's over the years, and like another reviewer mentioned, VESIsorb provided me with the greatest boost in energy and stamina. I take 2 to 3 per day, and people comment on how indefatigable I am! And don't be fooled by the small amount of Omega 3's this product contains -- they're also delivered via the VESIsorb system, so you're absorbing so much more of them. (As a side note, my HDL and and triglycerides improved dramatically when I started taking this plus one tablet per day of Vectomega. Prior to that, I was taking high-dose conventional fish oil, which bothered by stomach and didn't yield anywhere near the results on my lipid panel). On the other hand, if you're looking for CoQ10 more to support blood pressure reduction than energy, I would suggest looking into Genceutic Naturals 24Hr Nano CoQ10, also carried by iHerb.
They work!

Spring is here and the activity at boatyards is at its peak. Sound of scraping, sanding, as well as sailors gathering to give and receive advise on preparing their boats for another sailing season, can be heard around the bay. Some boats have already made it to their moorings, but the many masts seen in local boatyards indicate that many sailors have to wait a bit more to take that first wonderful sail on Manhasset Bay. A few boats are launched and were out on our bay for weekend racing and over at American YC for their Spring Series. According to Knickerbocker YC, which was Race Committee this past weekend, there were two races on Saturday, May 1 for the Sonar Fleet. The winners for both races: 1. Weekend Warrior, Dan and Bill Simon, and 2. Housemartin, Beth and Greg Danilek. Race results for Sunday were unavailable. American YC hosted their annual Spring Series on April 24-25 and May 1-2. Two teams from our bay competed: Sandy Lindenbaum (Knickerbocker YC) on Promise Kept, came in first in his division, PHRF4A. Paul Strauch (Manhasset Bay YC) on Andiamo, came in 12th in the J105 division. Charlie V, out of Sea Cliff YC, came in 3rd in the J44 Class 5 division.
The Women's Racing Clinic (WRC) held its first meeting of the season at the Knickerbocker YC on Tuesday April 27 to discuss basic racing rules. Sue Miller and Stephanie Baas spoke to the group about racing rules when boats meet, such as avoiding contact and acquiring right of way. It was made clear that a port tack at the starting line is not a very good idea, to the consternation of one particular skipper! At the next meeting, our two informative leaders will discuss the rules pertaining to mark roundings in preparation racing each Wednesday evening. While most of the members of the WRC do not match race, the upcoming event may appeal to those more experienced WRC teams. The 2004 U.S. Women's Match Racing Championship Notice of Race and Request for Invitation is now available. This is an ISAF Grade 3 event which will be hosted by the New York YC at Harbor Court in Newport, RI, from September 30-October 3. The winning team will take home US Sailing's Allegra Knapp Mertz Trophy. For more information, go to http://www.ussailing.org
On Wednesday May 26, Rich du Moulin will present "Racing a Ghost Ship," at the Knickerbocker YC. Mr. du Moulin will recount his voyage on Great American II as she sailed south through the South China Sea (past Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia), through the Sunda Strait to the Indian Ocean, around the Cape of Good Hope and into the south Atlantic catching the SE trades near Equator, working the doldrums north of the Equator, and onto the North Atlantic, past Bermuda, across the turbulent Gulf Stream and into New York Harbor. Along the way, du Moulin gathered a life time worth of experiences, which he will share with the audience. This is one presentation readers won't want to miss. Open to the public, with a $10 entrance fee. Juniors are free. Proceeds will benefit the Knickerbocker Cup as well as SitesAlive. 8 p.m., at Knickerbocker YC, 433 Main Street (883-7655)
Don't forget to watch the ESPN Classic "25 Years of Sailing" on May 19 at 9 p.m. This one-hour program is hosted by Gary Jobson and will examine how the sport of sailing has changed with dramatic technological advances, many larger-than-life personalities, historic races and shifts in power. Watch how the America's Cup has changed hands, from the United States, to Australia, to New Zealand, and now to Switzerland. This program should prove to be very interesting to the casual sailor and the experienced racer alike.
An elegant auction of marine art -- some by local artists and some by other artists throughout New England -- has been scheduled for Sunday, May 23, at the Stamford Yacht Club. Artworks to be auctioned will include watercolor and oil paintings, photography, and museum-quality prints. The auction, which is open to the public, will begin with a reception and preview exhibition at 4 p.m. The professionally managed auction, organized in cooperation with the Stamford Art Association, will begin at 6 p.m. Proceeds of the auction will benefit the Stamford Sailing Foundation (SSF). The SSF, a 501(c)(3) educational organization, aims to enrich the lives and to broaden the horizons of at-risk youngsters in Stamford, through after-school programs in sailing, seamanship, and water safety. In the past seven years, approximately 400 Stamford youths have participated in these programs, all of which are funded by activities such as the Art Auction and individual contributions from supporters. Artists are invited to submit their works for consideration by the Auction Steering Committee. The Committee also welcomes outright gifts, to the Foundation, of auction items from private collections; such gifts are tax-deductible. For more information about the Art Auction or the Foundation, please contact Harry White (email@example.com), Don Axelrod (firstname.lastname@example.com), or Bernie Weiss (email@example.com).

Wages and Policies that Work for All of Us
Holly Sklar and Laryssa Mykyta; Marie C. Wilson (Afterword)Pages: 250
Format: paper only
Release Date: 2002-01-01
A project of the Ms. Foundation for Women
Most Americans believe a job should keep you out of poverty, not keep you in it. Raise The Floor: Wages and Policies That Work for All of Us show us how we can translate that belief into reality by raising the minimum wage. Authors Holly Sklar, Laryssa Mykyta, and Susan Wefald deftly blend the latest data and real-life stories to show what it takes to make ends meet in today's America. At present, a couple with two children has to work a combined 3.3 full-time minimum wage jobs to make ends meet. That's 132 hours a week!
In addition to telling workers' stories, presenting original data, and proposing comprehensive policies, Raise The Floor spotlights businesses, large and small, that demonstrate how good wages are good business—in good economic times and bad.

Media360: Camelot's Sally Cowdry says brands need to 'join the dots' for consumers
Brands need to "join the dots" for consumers when communicating a "core purpose" to their audience, because consumers won't do it themselves, said Sally Cowdry, marketing and consumer director at Camelot.
Sally Cowdry: marketing and consumer director at Camelot
Speaking at Media360, Cowdry said the changes in advertising since the 1950s had developed nearly every decade, to a place where brands now have to demonstrate their ability to fulfil each new function, from safety to engagement, before they can deliver a message coherently.
She said: "First, brands have to convince us that they're safe, then the function they perform, then that they can engage with us on an emotional level, before brands can deliver a satisfying 'experience' for consumers.
"We have to satisfy all of those needs to immerse our customers in our brands," Cowdry said, claiming that the "single biggest" factor that needed to be communicated to consumers was a brand's "core purpose".
Cowdry said: "At Camelot, our core purpose is changing lives. The money spent on the National Lottery by consumers generates £33m for the brand to create and help causes up and down the country."
But the challenge was to communicate the core purpose effectively, using consistent stories to demonstrate this.
"If you don't, customers won't join the dots," she said.
Cowdry added that part of this messaging was about being relevant to consumers every day, becoming part of the news agenda and, ultimately, creating their own media.
She referenced Sainsbury's and Old Spice as brands that were changing their brand perception through the creation of engaging online content, stating that the Sainsbury's hour-long Christmas film was watched by more than 1.18 million people, and that if it had come out in December and been released into cinemas, it would have been number five at the box office, based on those numbers.

A Perry County man charged in a triple murder case could face execution now that prosecutors are seeking the death penalty.
According to the Hazard Herald, Dalton Stidham, 21, is accused of shooting and killing three people outside of Hazard Community and Technical College in January.
Two of the victims, Caitlin Cornett and her uncle, Jackie Cornett, were pronounced dead at the scene. Taylor Cornett, 12, died the following day at UK Hospital.
So far, Stidham has not entered a plea in the case. His trial has been set for September.

Casual Friday: Yohji Yamamoto trainers
We couldn't resist these bold and graphic luxe trainers from Yohji Yamamoto today. Polka dots may have been done a million times before, but with design talent like this they manage to look fresh and exuberant. They also remind us just a little of a cartoon toadstool, so they'd be great teamed with patterns and woodland colours.
These may just be the most expensive trainers you'll ever buy, but if you're someone who lives in lo-tops, you'll love the sheer quality and deep, glossy shine of these shoes.

Comments about Scalloped Lace Mastectomy Bra by Classique®:
I had been looking for a fancy mastectomy bra for some time and am glad you offered this bra for sale. The largest band size for my cup size is too small, but a bra-extender works wonderfully, and I don't regret buying this bra at all. I'd buy more if it were offered in other colors.

It's a commonly held belief that there is a six-month limit on summons, and if one arrives 26 weeks after the offence, you can ignore it. Unfortunately the applicable six-month rule for a summons to be issued is within six months of the information being laid before the court, rather than within six months of the date of the offence. ...

Re: Creepy Crate
This is a GREAT pet.
Battle pet-it has the ability to pull an injured battle pet back into battle. Companion-it will eat/kill critters. This ability helps both you and your guild with the achievement for critter kills. WARNING: if you have a quest that requires collecting critters, put it away or else you'll be competing with the crate.

July 30, 2013
UPDATE: After a nearly 12-hour bench trial Tuesday, an Albemarle County judge has found Cynthia Neff guilty of driving under the influence.
Neff, the former Albemarle County democratic party vice chair, was found guilty of DUI in Albemarle County General District Court in February following the October 2012 incident on Pritchett Lane.
Her appeal in circuit court Tuesday returned the same verdict.
"I'm just disappointed, that's all," said defense attorney Corinne Magee.
During the marathon bench trial, Magee and attorney Andre Hakes argued there was not sufficient evidence to convict the former Albemarle County Board of Supervisors candidate.
But following closing arguments, Albemarle Circuit Court judge Cheryl Higgins said she found Neff "guilty beyond reasonable doubt."
The defense said Neff's driving was consistent with that of an average driver on a rural road at nearly 2 a.m., but Higgins said it was "much more extreme."
Higgins said she observed Neff swerve 17 times within three minutes while reviewing the police dashboard video.
Neff was given four field sobriety tests, failing all of them.
The defense team blamed her poor performance on her age, heavy weight and the fact that "her feet hurt."
The judge noted Neff was unable to pass the tests that required no physical demands.
Neff's breath test returned a BAC of 0.09. The legal limit to drive in Virginia is 0.08.
"This case I think was one in which you had two very skilled, very capable defense attorneys who were willing to explore some very cutting edge defenses, and that's why we had a full day bench trial as opposed to something that took maybe a lot less time," said assistant Commonwealth attorney Matthew Quatrara.
The sentence includes license suspension and installation of an interlock device. A 30-day jail sentence was suspended. The judge also ordered Neff to pay a $250 fine and complete an alcohol program.
The sentence is pending an appeal.
Neff has until 2 p.m. on August 15 to file an appeal.
"That has to be Ms. Neff's decision, and once we consider all of the rulings of the judge, we'll make that decision," said Magee.
July 30, 2013
Former Democratic candidate for the Albemarle Co. Board of Supervisors, Cynthia Neff, was in Albemarle Co. Circuit court Tuesday morning for a bench trial.
Neff was arrested back in October of 2012 for driving under the influence. The officer smelled alcohol coming from her and gave her a field sobriety test. Neff failed the tests administered and was arrested for driving under the influence. She was later charged with a DUI.
Her defense is trying to prove that the breathalyzer exam was not accurate. Their expert witness who works with breathalyzer tests explained to the court that people who take the breath exam can have a higher alcohol count than a blood exam if they smoke. Neff is a smoker.
The defense also wants to prove that the arresting officer should not have been suspicious of Neff's driving. According to the defense the officer explained that Neff was swerving back and forth while driving, before he pulled her over. The defense also explained that the road she was driving on did not have lines.
The court is expected to hear more testimony from the arresting officer as well as other expert testimony from the Commonwealth.

Music streaming giants wants developers to create fun stuff that runs on its desktop client.
Spotify CEP Daniel Ek confirmed the move at a major briefing last night, with the help of several partners including the Guardian, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Songkick, Last.fm and TuneWiki.
The big idea is to bring features such as gig guides, ticket purchase, recommendations and music editorial within the walls of the streaming service.
Specifically among the confirmed partnerships, Rolling Stone's app provides music recommendations, while TuneWiki's shows lyrics in real-time as songs play in Spotify.
Ek said: "We're opening up our platform in a way that lets you curate the apps that you want, and really make Spotify yours."
Well, kind of. Interestingly, there are some caveats making the service not quite as liberal as it sounds.
Any apps created will have to be approved by Spotify and will run within Spotify's desktop client, rather than on the open web. Also, there are no immediate plans to let these apps run within the mobile client.
Even more importantly, developers will not be able to charge for their apps. That's OK for brands looking to extend their activities into the music sphere, but not so good for pureplay developers with a good idea.
Needless to say, the whole strategy is being assessed for its ability to break the iTunes stranglehold on OTA music (I won't say 'digital' as CDs are digital and they're hardly competition any more).
With Spotify's recent partnership with Facebook (growing users to 210m) and now this, there's evidence of real momentum around the service – and a focus on sharing/community that Apple can't yet match.
Spotify currently has 10 million active users 12 countries, of which 2.5 million are premium.

Your manager must send you an email invitation through TeamSnap. Check if an invite has been sent.
Buy red, white and blue wiffle balls. The plan is to train the hitter to see the ball better and that will mean longer (essential skills for hitting off-speed pitches) Inform the hitter that the red ball is to be hit hard to the correct spot (inside pitches are pulled, etc). The blue ball is to be bunted and the white ball is a take.
I think you will be surprised at his pitch recognition after only 4-5 practices.
This is also a good indoor practice.

Alice Starmore's books are stunning. Absolutely stunning. Sadly, a lot of them are out of print.
Tudor Roses, the best book my sister ever bought me about knitting, is available for preorder, because it is soon-to-be-not-out-of-print.
It is a great, great book for anyone who is into intricate knitting, rich history, or wonderful photographs. It has all three in spades.

Makeup artist Natalya Nair gives Misha B a last-minute touch-up
Each week as the rating war rages on, the X Factor is subject to more controversy and catfights. But the thing that keeps Grazia Daily talking is, of course, the fashion. We've already admired the John Galliano and Alberta Ferretti floor-sweepers that Kelly Rowland sported this week but what of the contestants and their ever-evolving style?
It's a huge task for the all new X Style Team comprising of hairdresser Jamie, stylist Laury and make-up artist Natalya who ensure the contestants are looking suitably TV-tastic. With over 10 million people tuning in, the pressure is fierce and the contestants' styling generates as much discussion on the judging panel as the singing itself. As a seasoned pro, Laury tells us she takes it all in her stride. 'You can't pay any attention to negative comments as realistically you are never going to please everyone. It is a show and that should also mean entertainment, so I think to get people even commenting about the show is a good thing! I read Katie Price had been tweeting that she hated the styling. I would probably have to leave the show if Katie Price did like the styling as I would certainly not be doing the job I set out to do!' Chortle.
Janet Devlin performs on Club Classics night
In fact, this fab threesome spend as much time working on the contestants as their mentors do. 'We work with the Creative Directors of the show,' Laury continues. 'We have a weekly creative meeting with everyone, where we find out the contestants' songs and ideas for staging.' So tell us about the looks this week. 'Janet wanted to try out a new direction this week,' Laury reveals. 'She wanted to step away from the gothic feathers and the leather and embrace more of a natural Woodstock vibe. I worked together with Jamie and Natalya to work more with Janet's own everyday style'.
Little Mix in Gareth Pugh-inspired outfits
'Little Mix outfits were inspired by Gareth Pugh with the LED lights [above]. We wanted to do something a little avant garde and interpret the fun nature of Little Mix in a different way. Futuristic couture! We wanted to make Misha more relatable to her public this week so we toned down the extremism and went for a more tailored look with her. And Kitty is insistent on wearing her own shoes every week, so we have to keep spray painting them to keep them interesting!'
Hairdresser Jamie Stevens tends to Kitty Brucknell
'For me every night is just as important as the last,' Jamie tells us. 'We're carving their individual personas here so we have to make sure that every time they're on that stage they're looking good andfeeling great.' Natalya even takes to Twitter to ask the fans what they would like to see in terms of make-up for their favourite acts. 'I definitely go bolder for the Saturday show when they really have to shine for each of their individual performances. I think we all experiment more for the Saturday show to keep things interesting.'
Natalya Nair gives Little Mix a healthy glow
X Factor's in-house skin finisher, St Tropez's Jules Heptonstall exclusively tells Grazia Daily that the contestants' skin was worthy of UV lights, ie: it was gleaming! 'Because this week involved a LOT of dancing (and therefore sweating!), we applied the tan a little later than usual so that it was fresh for Saturday night,' Jules revealed. 'I used St. Tropez Body Butter on Frankie to hydrate his recently tanned skin and make the most of his maroon vest while Little Mix's incredible light-up outfits needed lashings of St. Tropez Shimmer Stick mixed with the Violet Illuminator to extend the glow. With Janet, I used a soft finish of our Rose Illuminator on her arms and knuckles to give sheen to her Celtic skin. As for Craig, he and I have formed a bond over our love for beauty products, especially Natalya's H-D Brows eye massagers - they're seriously addictive!'
Thanks guys! We can't wait to see more of your handy work as the weeks go on…

After the match report, we take a closer look at a disappointing afternoon in west London.
The Match Samuel Eto'o came back to haunt United, four-and-a-half years after opening the scoring for Barcelona in the Champions League final defeat in Rome, with a hat-trick that condemned United to defeat in west London. And yet – as in that final – it had all looked so different early on, with the Reds forcing chances and keeping the ball so well that the home fans were just beginning to get edgy when their lone front man seized upon Chelsea's first real chance of the game. Understandably shaken, the Reds took time to go at the hosts again, but two smart finishes from Eto'o either side of the break took the game away. David Moyes' substitutions provided impetus, with Javier Hernandez's goal-poacher's strike 12 minutes from time raising hopes slightly, but the task was too great and Nemanja Vidic's dismissal for a challenge on Eden Hazard capped a frustrating afternoon. While Vidic's red card was slightly harsh, on another day Rafael may have followed his skipper down the tunnel for a lunge on Gary Cahill.
The Goals When things aren't going your way, goals like Chelsea's first just make matters worse. United's bright start came to an abrupt halt when Samuel Eto'o unleashed a shot that looped over David De Gea off Michael Carrick's outstretched foot. For his second, the Cameroon striker showed off his predatory instincts to bury the ball past De Gea from close range and his hat-trick was completed when Eto'o tapped home a close-range rebound after Cahill had forced a save from the keeper. Chicharito showed keen reactions to touch Phil Jones' shot past Cech for what turned out to be a consolation effort.
Star man Adnan Januzaj's lively display provided a bright spark for United. He played up front, ahead of Danny Welbeck, in the early stages and the problems he posed for John Terry and Gary Cahill show that playing as a striker is not beyond

There are more of them on our roads now that the weather has changed.
And we've already had cases of motorcycle injuries.
It's a scene no one wants to witness, especially those who ride.
Ricardo and Susane Gonzales took a spill near Waterloo Sunday. Susane was taken to the hospital by medical helicopter.
Motorcyclists sometimes blend into the mass of steel of cars and trucks.
And sometimes, four wheeled drivers lose track of their two wheeled cousins.
Eric Hansen wants to remind us all drivers to stay alert for motorcycles.
"We're just kind of overly cautious these days because of the amount of accidents that have happened and the more bikes that are out on the road now, women are getting more into it there's just a more influx of people on the road," he said.
To remind us of the importance of watching for motorcyclists while driving, eight billboards are going up across the city. Jeff Ahl was killed last year while riding his motorcycle. Family and friends hope the message gets through...look twice, save a life.
"Watch out for us," Hansen said. "We could be right there and you couldn't even see us. We're just trying to make everybody look a couple of more times before they make a turn. it doesn't take but a second to do it so if they do that, they might just save somebody."
Ahl was Hansen's best friend.
That's why motorcycle awareness is so important to him.
A poker run is set for May 18th at Langdon's Bar and Grill at 11855 South 216th St in Gretna as a memorial to Jeff Ahl and to raise motorcycle awareness during motorcycle awareness month.

Amundson of Hartford, Michigan, and piloted by a commercially certificated pilot, was substantially damaged during its takeoff roll on Runway 27 (4,700' X 100' dry asphalt) at the Dowagiac Municipal Airport, Dowagiac, Michigan. The airplane collided with a snowbank and nosed over. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed at the time of the accident. The 14 CFR Part 91 flight was not operating under a flight plan. The pilot reported no injuries. The flight departed Dowagiac, Michigan, at 1342 est.According to the pilot's written statement on NTSB Form 6120.1/2, he decided to practice taxiing before flight. During the taxi practice, the pilot said he applied about 50 percent power and "...full aileron deflection..." to the left. The pilot said that shortly after doing this the tailwheel lifted off the runway surface and the airplane veered to the right. The pilot stated the wind was coming from approximately 180 degrees and had a speed between five and ten knots with gusts to twelve knots. The pilot said he reduced power and "...attempted to correct with rudder..." as the airplane headed for a snowbank at the runway's edge. He stated he "...lifted the aircraft over..." the snowbank As the airplane cleared the snowbank, the pilot said it settled into snow and nosed over.

Your No Is Her Hope
Can a single word help bring sex trafficking to its knees? We believe it can.
Many women and children who are sexually exploited are being used for the production of pornography and suffer extreme abuse. In fact, pornography is the primary gateway for the purchase of millions of innocent humans used for commercial sex.
It doesn't have to be that way.
Whether you've looked at pornography or not – your no is her hope.
When you say no to pornography, you say no to sex trafficking and save the lives of innocent people. When you influence those around you to say no to pornography, you shape the culture and defend those who cannot defend themselves.
That's why we've created the Your No Is Her Hope Anti-Pornography Education presentation and script, specifically created for men. In it you'll find important information on the pornography industry, the nature of addiction, the biblical perspective, discussion questions and resources for freedom. It's short and easy to use – take a look and consider sharing it with men in your life!
Access the resources here: Prezi presentation and Leaders Guide
The fact that these victims are filmed or photographed does not change the fact that it is a violent crime. Because a third party is recruiting someone for the purpose of sexual exploitation and making a profit, many adult pornography materials and all child pornography materials fit the legal definition of human trafficking.
It also feeds the demand for human trafficking. When the desire for porn increases, the demand for more or different or harder kinds or pornography increases. To produce such hard porn, trafficked men, women and children are used in its production. Men who end up in brothels often began their sexual addictions with porn.
Porn by the numbers:
$20 billion: Global porn revenue 1
$10 billion: US porn revenue 1
70 million: Users per week 7
25 % : users who are women 6
46%: users who are married 6
56%: divorces that referenced porn addiction 14
51% & 32%: men/women who viewed porn before age 12 8
50% & 20%: Christian men/women addicted to porn 9
37%: Pastors who said viewing porn was a "current struggle" 10
Saying no to porn is not just a matter of personal piety or sin avoidance. Saying no to porn can bring freedom to you and the millions enslaved today by the sex industry. If you are addicted to pornography, you can get help.
