In honor of last night's premiere, we've passed out superlatives to the stand-out (sometimes not in a good way) guys. Here's to hoping that between the dude drama, bad hair and helicopter rides, Emily finds her happily ever after--oh, and her minivan full of babies.
Weirdest casting choice: Brent
Brady Brunch Brent has SIX kids! When he causally mentioned his brood to Emily, we thought he was kidding or that he was talking about pets, but he actually has a half dozen children. We have nothing against kids, but how many women want to be saddled with seven of them?
Biggest surprise: Jef
We were fully prepared to hate Single F Jef. He rides a skateboard. He has a pompadour. And his biggest offense: His name always sets off our spell check. But Single F actually turned out to be charming. We love that he owns a company that gives back to Third World countries. And he seemed sweet and shockingly mature. Let's hope we don't have to eat our words next week.

Creepiest entrance: Travis
We get it--a first impression is everything and they are tough. Between the fake granny, the boom box jig and the helicopter, there really were some winners this season (not), but Travis definitely takes the, uh, egg. In a fifth-grade homework assignment gone wrong, this grown many honestly thought it would be a good idea to carry around an ostrich egg this season as a symbol of Emily and her offspring, vowing to take care of it just like he will take care of the pretty ladies. Well, in a show notorious for it's outrageous dates (skydiving or cliff-jumping, anyone?), here's to hoping he brought a Baby Bjorn for that thing.

This season's Courtney: Kalon
We didn't think the meanie-model from last season could be topped, but it looks like Kalon might pull out ahead this season. Here's a hint to any future contestants: arriving on a helicopter will automatically make you the most hated person in the room. He was already butting heads with gents on night one, and we have a sneaking suspicion that he's largely to blame for of all the drama shown in the season's preview. Here's to hoping Emily ousts him faster that Courtney can say, "killshot."
Worst hair: Michael
There was a lot of competition in this category: Alessandro and his flippy locks, Alejandro and his borderline rat-tail, Ryan and his wave-slash-poof. But in the end, we're giving the prize to Michael, who we only remember because of his very long mane. He actually kept tucking it behind his ears all night! We thought we endured enough bad hair for a lifetime with Ben.
Most welcome sendoff: David
Emily showed some smarts when she sent David, the singer/songwriter, packing. Not only did his singing sound like nails on a chalkboard, but he also spouted lines like this gem: "[Emily and I] have all of these disparate facets that ultimately converge." We're thankful we don't have to put up with him for a moment longer.
Worst Use of A Prop: Tony
If Tony introducing himself as "Charming, Prince Charming" wasn't weird enough, there's also the shoe. We think he was aiming for a shout-out to that classic fairy tale (you know the one), but it was just a total, tacky miss. Sorry, Prince Charming.
Biggest wardrobe malfunction: Stevie
Stevie's less-than-stellar attitude toward the other contestants may have left a bad taste in our mouths, but his wardrobe choices left us nearly blinded. Let's just say that green shirt was doing him no favors--he looked more Ninja Turtle than charming suitor.
Buzz word of the season: "Stunning:"
Last year, Ben couldn't get enough of the word "incredible." In this episode alone, the guys called Emily "stunning" about 15 times. We know she's gorgeous--we have eyes--so we don't need to hear it every three seconds. When they start talking about her personality, we'll start listening again.
Early front-runners:
Arie: The producers decided to be cruel and throw a racecar driver into the mix (Emily's NASCAR driver fiancé died on the way to a race), but Emily took it in stride. And if she can get past his profession, Emily may go for the laid-back, blue-eyed Arie. We would!
Nate: He didn't say much this episode, but he's adorable and he didn't come with a cheesy prop, so major points for that.
Charlie: Ah, charming Charlie with the head injury. We were intrigued by his backstory and delighted when he and Emily seemed to be hitting it off during cocktail hour. And then, he dropped this gem: "I may have had a head injury, but there's nothing wrong with my heart." Well Charlie...we're going to give you the benefit of the doubt--although you should probably blame that sound bite on the head injury. Just sayin'.

County Executive John R. Leopold's $21,000 Grant to Gems and Jewels After School Program Expands Program to 30 More Students
County Executive John R. Leopold will present a $21,000 check to Pastor Sheryl Menendez and students of the Bates Middle School Gems and Jewels After School Program on Monday, December 10, in a brief ceremony at 3:15 p.m. in the school's cafeteria.
The donation and presentation, the first from any County Executive since the program's existence, will enable 30 additional, 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students to participate in the highly sought-after Restoration Community Development Corporation program. This year about 115 students applied to participate in the program, but only 20 students could be accepted because of limited funding.
In its nine years of operation at Bates Middle School, the Gems and Jewels After School Program has provided after school care three days-a-week to its program participants and services often extend to their families. Students receive a full dinner meal each day, the last or only meal of the day for many students. The program's comprehensive programming includes: homework assistance, financial management, Second Step Violence Prevention, life skills, healthy eating, drug/alcohol prevention.
Gems and Jewels actively recruits mentors from employers and organizations throughout the community. The program has tapped employees of the City of Annapolis, the county Fire Department, Health Department as well as Maryland State employees and members of the business community and Annapolis Senior High students to staff and counsel the students.

- Your work history and skills – what kinds of experiences have you had and how might they have prepared you for this new job
- Why you're interested in this particular job and at this particular company or organization
Remember, it's not only about whether or not the employer sees you as the right person for the job – you also need to believe that the job and the company are a good fit for your needs and goals.

CARB mandates very expensive upgrades in the name of the environment, yet NEVER issues reports on the effectiveness, or cost effectiveness, of their requirements. CARB is an overly powerful agency run amok.
Not only what R Henry said, but the CARB regulations are an unfunded mandate that puts all the responsibility for enforcement on supply chain partners.

Crash closes main Cumbrian road
Last updated at 17:58, Wednesday, 02 May 2012
A woman has been airlifted to hospital after a crash on a main Cumbrian road.
Firefighters cut two casualties free after the two-car crash on the A595 at Winscales, near Workington.
The female driver of a red Seat Ibiza was airlifted to hospital in Preston.
An ambulance service spokesman said the 43-year-old, from Wigton, had pelvic and abdominal injuries, which were not thought to be lift-threatening.
The female driver of a Ford Focus - who was aged 58 and from Workington - and a male passenger from the Seat have been taken to the West Cumberland Hospital in Whitehaven.
Station manager Adrian Holme said 15 firefighters from Workington spent about an hour releasing the two drivers.
The injured male was out of the car before firefighters arrived.
The extent of the casualties' injuries are not known.
The road was blocked and drivers were advised to find alternative routes. Cumbria police's traffic team said the road reopened shortly after 5pm.
Anyone who saw the crash should contact the roads police unit on 101.
Meanwhile, a diversion route from the initial accident, near to Workington golf course was temporarily blocked by a second crash.
That three-car crash happened at 2.36pm and involved a blue Peugot 306, a blue Mazda 2 and a BMW, all of which were being driven by women.
A police spokeswoman said there were no injuries reported but child passengers from the Peugeot and BMW were taken to hospital as a precaution.
The road was reopened at 2.48pm.

2.5 years ago I was 25% bodyfat and 215 pounds. The stress of one of my previous relationships turned me into a total fat ass. I got fat, sweaty, my health went to ****.
Gradually over the next year and a half I got myself down to around 188 with 17% body fat, my lifts were improving, was making progress, and then I subluxated my t1-t6 vertebrae (some moreso than others) and subsequently ****ed my rotator cuff. This was all an existing injury but because I'd never exerted myself or done any sort of intense activities which would cause symptoms to emerge, I just never noticed. Since May I've been getting treatment but solving one problem just revealed another cause which needed to be treated.
4 months ago, the pain in my left anterior deltoid, pec, and bicep became so intense as a result of spinal/torso rotation, that I had to stop working my upper body completely. I've done my best to keep in shape, linear squats, deadlifts, legs, limited back work... but I'm starting to become a fatass again. Stress, exams, writing final papers, and the Christmas gorge has not helped my waistline. My physical activity (or lack thereof) hasn't been able to compensate.
8 months of treatment, feeling like a fatass, fuaaaaaaa.... last week my spine released for the first time in as long as I can remember - it felt great, then I bent over to pick something up, put the vertebrae out of place again.
Just so ****ing frustrated - it was like heavenly bliss for 2-3 days... then poof.. gone. All that hard work, effort, energy, time, sacrifice, poof.. just ****ing gone. Not to mention all the money for all the treatment.
I just want to get back to being active. So pissed off.

I am so pleased to see that Harry Single is running for re-election as fire commissioner; his integrity, fair-mindedness, organization and attention to detail, along with his sincere love of our community have served us well for the past five years.
I've known Harry Single in many capacities for over 30 years and I can't recall a solitary time that he said "no" when someone asked for help. Just look at his record: Hicksville Library Board, Hicksville Community Council Vice President, Hicksville Baseball Association Board, Hicksville Football Association Board, Hicksville Boys and Girls Club President, Midland Civic Association, Town of Oyster Bay Youth Advisory Board, Joseph Barry Knights of Columbus, Hicksville Lions Club … His concern for our community has earned him the respect of countless citizens and organizations.
Fundraising was always a struggle during my tenure as the Band Parent President for Hicksville High School; the economy wasn't great and there were many times when requests for donations were rejected, but never from Harry. "Uncle Harry" was always there for the kids, and always there for our community. Harry didn't wait for the phone calls, he made the phone calls, asking, "what do you need?, what can I do to help?" and I would smile whenever I heard that familiar voice. Whenever an event was happening in Hicksville, you could bet that Harry was somehow involved, volunteering his time.
Please mark your calendars now for Dec. 8; we don't have television campaigns to remind us of this election but that doesn't make it any less important. Our community is growing and flourishing, there are improvements everywhere we look; we need to re-elect Harry Single to assure all of us that our safety and protection is in the very best of hands.

Tiffany Baker and the other seniors on the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga softball team weren't willing to end their careers just yet.
Baker hit career home runs 48, 49 and 50 on Saturday as the Lady Mocs beat Jackson State 8-1 and Memphis 2-1 and advance to today's final against Alabama in the Tuscaloosa Regional of the NCAA tournament.
The victories were the first wins by UTC in the NCAA tournament since 2002, when the Lady Mocs beat No. 1 seed Florida Atlantic twice in the Tallahassee Regional. It was just the second and third wins ever for UTC at Rhodes Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
"[The confidence was] good today," UTC coach Frank Reed said. "We felt coming in that we had a good program. We wanted to prove something not only to ourselves but to the softball world. Hopefully we will get a chance tomorrow to prove that further."
The three home runs, two against Jackson State and a two-run shot against Memphis, raised Baker's school-best season total to 18. She went 3-for-6 on Saturday and knocked in six of the Lady Mocs' 10 runs.
"I think that those are some of the harder ones that I have hit in my career, for sure," Baker said after the two wins. "It has probably ranked up there in the top. ... It just went my way today."
Senior center fielder Lyndsey Stiles had a two-run triple against Jackson State and recorded her 35th stolen base of the seaon, and shortstop Jessica Traxler knocked in two runs while Vivian Morimoto and Kasey Tydingco each had two hits in the opener.
Senior pitchers Nikki Waters and Kandice Irwin along with junior Michelle Fuzzard also did their part to keep UTC's opponents from generating much offense Saturday.
Waters carried a no-hitter into the bottom of the seventh inning against Jackson State before giving up an unearned run on two hits. She struck out nine to earn her 14th win of the season, and said the wins Saturday were a big thrill.
"It's an awesome feeling," she said. "It keeps us motivated to keep pushing forward to the next game."
With the win against Memphis in the late game, UTC (44-13) avenged Friday's 4-1 loss in the opening game of the regional.
Irwin started against Memphis and pitched 4 1/3 innings before giving way to Fuzzard, who picked up the win. After Fuzzard allowed former GPS player Kamri Chester to score with two outs in the bottom of the seventh, Irwin came back into the game and struck out Memphis' leading batter, Heather Mott, to secure the win and pick up her eighth save of the year.
Fuzzard singled and was hit by a pitch in the sixth inning and scored on Baker's homer.
Memphis earlier lost 7-1 to Alabama despite a first-inning homer by Gordon Lee graduate Maddie McKinley.
UTC (44-13) moves on to today's regional final against Alabama at 2 p.m. EDT today. The Lady Mocs must beat the Crimson Tide twice to advance to the super regional round of the NCAA tournament.
"We feel like Alabama is a good team. We know that they are a good team," Reed said of today's matchup. "We feel like we can play with them.
"We will have to step our game up to play, and I think we can. It is exciting to be here, and it is an exciting chance to play them. We will go out there and see what happens."

Back in 1976, the brand was launched by Christian Restoin (now better known as Carine Roitfelds other half). By introducing men's shirts into women's wardrobes, Restoin transformed a classic into glam appeal. The shirts ooze modern androgynous silhouettes, discreet sexiness and that french "je ne sais quoi".
In 2010, Serge Azria took over as CEO and Creative Director and continues to expand the brands presence.
Eytys is a unisex sneaker with confident proportions - more gritty pavement than polished runway. It's a product manifestation of our generation: born in the boom years of the 80s, grew up with the street culture of the 90s, and subsisted on a heavy diet of inspiration - which has always been a click away.
Being part of this Generation-Y has given us the confidence to create Eytys - our interpretation of the perfect sneaker. But equally important is the idea of a platform on which Eytys stands; a platform through which we wish to connect, interact with and highlight creative people we admire. Eytys is a celebration to Multidisciplinary Creativity.

The wine industry in California is undergoing a slow revolution. First it was synthetic corks, then screwcaps, now tetra-paks; varietals like Syrah and Viognier were brought to prominence. Perhaps most controversially, people have actually started to make decent wine for under twenty bucks.
For some though, this revolution isn't nearly fast nor radical enough. Enter, The Three Thieves. These self proclaimed "jug boys" and "liberators of world class wine" have strode through the swinging doors of the saloon with guns-a-blaring.
Here's the plot: buy a ton of aftermarket wine (already pressed and fermented) blend it 'til you think its good, throw it in a one-liter maple syrup jug bottle and top it off with a screwcap. "Cowboy up!" as they say.
These three thieves are actually Joel Gott, Charles Bieler, and Roger Scommegna, and whatever else it may be judged as, this latest venture of theirs is a brilliant piece of marketing that in the tradition of Randall Grahm pokes fun at everything that is stuffy and established about the wine industry.
Does the wine transcend its cute packaging and guerilla marketing? Maybe. It's certainly better than a lot of the swill priced at $10 in Safeway, but while it is balanced, ultimately it's not something I want to drink every day.
Tasting Notes:
Pomegranate red in the glass with a hint of purple, this wine has aromas of cherry and a light touch of cassis in the nose at first, and then as it opens, more scents of dark berries. In the mouth it has a cool, clean, claret style feel across the palate with a nice balance of cherry, strawberry, and sweet toasted oak, but the flavors are lacking tannins and a substantial backbone that would turn this wine into something more complex. The finish is average and unremarkable.
Food Pairing:
I had some with a steak off the BBQ and it complemented the rib eye nicely. Its a good all-around red dinner wine that should be served with hearty foods.
Overall Score: 7/7.5
How Much?: $9.99

I have heard great comments about three thieves
Have seen these guys out there, doing more for the industry than many of the big guys. Good wine and fun approch.
Have you tried there boxed wines in 1 liter tetra paks, (adult juice boxes) best wine on the shelf for $7.00 per liter...the thieves rock!!
there adult juice boxes are perfect for that not so special night..
Does anyone know if the LDPE in Tetra Paks contaminates wine?
As far as I know, from discussing this issue with several winemakers who use it -- it does not.

November 28, 2014
11-18-05 - Juvenile crime is taking its toll in the small town of Mill Creek. In the past four months, they've caused thousands of dollars worth of damage, and last night they threatened police officers.
The crimes all started four months ago when the Mill Creek high school principal's home was ransacked. And police believe the suspects are now hitting other towns.
Last night someone vandalized a house in Wapanucka, spray painting obscenities to the back of the home. Police say it's the same type of writing and paint used in Mill Creek over the last few months.
They've also broke into several businesses, even spray painted the American flag hanging outside Mill Creek city hall.
The Mill Creek police chief says although these are small crimes, they're extremely costly.
The Mill Creek Police Department has interviewed over 20 suspects with no luck. Now they're asking for your help. If you have any information, you're asked to the call Mill Creek city hall 580-384-5757.

Oprah & Bishop Jakes – raising the roof, again!
- Written by Tri-State Defender Newsroom
CHICAGO – Oprah and Bishop T.D. Jakes come together for a follow up, "roof-raising" conversation in an all-new episode of "Oprah Lifeclass" on how to unleash the power of your natural instinct
The episode airs on Sunday (May 11th) at 8 p.m. CT on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network.
Throughout the conversation, Oprah and Jakes "raise the roof" with inspirational messages on how to become the highest vision of yourself and never settle for status quo; plus, Jakes shows viewers that their natural instincts are really "the treasure map to their souls' satisfaction."
Excerpt: how to tap in to your instinct
Oprah: All right. So what is your particular process in tapping into your instinct? What is it?
T.D. Jakes: For me, in part, it is finding a quiet place. Still waters. Calmness. I have found I don't make good decisions at night. A little rest in the calmness of the morning when my mind is fresh, my instincts are the most keen in the morning. And so sometimes I will write a letter, but I won't mail it till in the morning.
Oprah: Me too. Me too.
T.D. Jakes: Because I need to sleep on it and instinctively sometimes in the morning I'll think, oh, don't say that. Move this over here. You don't even need to do that at all.
Oprah: Absolutely.
T.D. Jakes: Your instincts are key. Every major move I've ever made in my life was done instinctively.
Click here for the video:
Excerpt: Never settle for status quo
Oprah: And you say never settle for status quo?
T.D. Jakes: Yeah. Never settle for status quo. Get out of the cage. If you can see out the cage and if you can think out of the cage, then get your feet and other parts out of the cage. So that you can be – amen!
Oprah: Amen!
T.D. Jakes: Amen! So that – so that you – while you have the energy to run. While you've got the energy to roar. While you've got the energy to go through a period of adjustment. It's OK not to have everything at first. It's OK, lion, not to know how to hunt at first. Gradually bring about the change so that when you get to the end of your life, you won't die in a cage that you were never meant to be in the first place. (Applause.)
Oprah: Tweet, tweet. Tweet, tweet on that.

Excerpt. What you need to understand about naysayers
T.D. Jakes: In the book I talk about giraffes and turtles.
Oprah: Yeah.
T.D. Jakes: They occupy the same state – the same space, but they don't have the same worldview. ... The giraffe can be in the same geographical location as the turtle. But the giraffe eats from the tops of the trees and the turtle moves through the grass. And what ultimately happens in the lives of all people is that we eat on the level of our vision. Whoo. (Applause.)
T.D. Jakes: Okay? We eat on the level of our vision. (Applause.)
Oprah: We've got to hold that for a moment. Hello. We eat on the level of our vision.
T.D. Jakes: Of your vision. Yeah. Yeah. When you are a giraffe...
Oprah: That was good.
T.D. Jakes: ... and you get criticism from turtles, the turtles are reporting the view from the level they're on.
Oprah: Oh, that is so good.
T.D. Jakes: Yeah. It's a good book.

Before some wills or estates are settled or some adoptions or disputes are resolved in Hamilton County Chancery Court, a legal notice of the pending action must be published in the Chattanooga Times Free Press.
The price of that notice goes up by $50 per ad next week -- the first increase in eight years by the newspaper. The litigants seeking court actions typically pay for such ads, but the price increase has spurred Chancery Court Clerk Lee Akers to consider shifting the notices to a smaller and cheaper newspaper.
Akers said Thursday he has met with the publisher of the Hamilton County Herald to consider a proposal to publish the legally required notices for court actions in the Herald. The Herald prints about 3,500 copies each week, compared with the Times Free Press' audited daily circulation last fall of 73,080 and a Sunday circulation of 101,355.
"We're reviewing our options, and I certainly want to talk with the Chancellors [Frank Brown and Jeff Atherton] about it," Akers said Thursday. "Most of our filing and fees come out of the pockets of the litigants and not the taxpayers, but we do want to try to control the cost of litigation."
Akers said the Times Free Press' widespread circulation helps ensure that more people get alerted to pending actions. But Don Bona, the Little Rock, Ark.-based publisher of the Hamilton County Herald, said since buying the Herald more than a decade ago, he has nearly tripled the number of mailed copies sent out to 3,500 and expanded the size of the Herald.
"Our paper was been a legal newspaper since 1913 so we certainly consider it a good avenue for these ads," Bona said.
Hamilton County Clerk Bill Knowles said he shifted some of the legal notices for County Commission meetings to the Herald a couple of years ago to save money, although he still does some legal advertising in the Times Free Press.
In 2006, the Tennessee attorney general ruled that the Hamilton County Herald did meet the legal standard of being a newspaper of general circulation.
But Jason Taylor, president of the Times Free Press, said advertising in the Times Free Press "better conforms with the intent of the law" to ensure that the public gets notice of pending actions by the court or other elected officials.
"I remain convinced that a publication that only prints a few thousand copies is not adequate notice" in a county of more than 340,000 people, Taylor said. "Our publication is widely distributed throughout the county and region whereas other publications have only a few racks and their readership is not audited or verified."
Dave Flessner is the business editor for the Times Free Press. A journalist for 35 years, Dave has been business editor and projects editor for the Chattanooga Times Free Press, city editor for The Chattanooga Times, business and county reporter for the Chattanooga Times, correspondent for the Lansing State Journal and Ingham County News in Michigan, staff writer for the Hastings Daily Tribune in Nebraska, and news director for WCBN-FM in Michigan.

Former UK basketball star Anthony Davis has officially been added to the United States Men's Basketball team roster for the upcoming Summer Olympic Games in London.
Davis, the National Player of the Year and first pick in this year's NBA draft, was called to duty after Los Angeles Clippers forward Blake Griffin hurt his left knee during a scrimmage Wednesday. He was in uniform for the USA team's exhibition game against the team from the Dominican Republic coached by UK coach John Calipari Thursday night, and scored nine point in the USA blowout.
Griffin, a star center with the Clippers, will undergo surgery on his knee and will be out at least eight weeks. Griffin injured the same knee in Game 5 of the Clippers' first-round series against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Davis, one of Team USA's final cuts last week, reported to training camp earlier in the day Thursday. Davis was on his way to Las Vegas on Thursday afternoon after attending a cable TV event in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, sources said.
Davis, who was drafted by the New Orleans Hornets, will be the only rookie on the USA's squad.

Written by Sheldon M. Goodman, Ph.D. Friday, 03 February 2012 00:00
(Editor's Note: In the past Dr. Goodman offered a series of local safety articles. We welcome his return.)
The best advice for driving in snowy weather is if it is at all possible, avoid getting into your car. Don't go out until the plows and sanding trucks have done their work and allow yourself extra time to reach your destination.
Some helpful techniques would be to practice winter driving techniques in a snowy, open parking lot so you are familiar with how your car handles and how comfortable you feel being the one in the drivers seat. When you do have drive in the snow what precautionary steps might you engage in:
1. Decrease your speed and leave plenty of room to stop. Allow as much as three times more space than you usually do between you and the car in front of you.
2. Brake gently to avoid skidding. If your wheels should start to lock-up, ease off the brakes and turn on your lights to increase your visibility to other motorists.
3. Don't use cruise control on icy roads.
4. Read the road; i.e., to choose then appropriate speed and get the feel of the road by starting out slowly and testing your level of steering control and braking ability.
5. Be a good driver by looking ahead and anticipating problems.
6. Last but certainly not least, use your seatbelt every time you get into your vehicle and use your cell phone in accord with the state laws and in accord with what research has proven to be the effect of driving distractively on our brains (this would also include working on your computer, inserting CD's and fiddling with your radio and watch your level and intensity of conversation with any passengers you might have).
To help prepare for the winter driving season have a tune-up; keep your gas tank full; have fresh antifreeze installed. Also properly inflate your spare tire; have a shovel available as well as a bag of salt or cat litter; a tool kit and working flashlight, first aid kit, scrapper and snow brush and some non-perishable food.
Here are thoughts for the residents of the Village Of Great Neck Plaza. Keep in mind that during large snow events residents should call the Vvillage for daily updates at 482-4500) and check the website: www.villageofgreatneckplaza.org. You may wonder if you have to move your car for street cleaning when it snows? The answer is alternate street parking will be suspended in the village for a period of 24 hours after the cessation of at least four inches of a snow storm of at least four inches of snow, as published by the National Weather Service. During major snow storms, The village may allow parking in the municipal garages but check with them to see for how long, as this allowance will vary according to the size of the storm.
Go slow in the snow or stay at home and watch the storm through your window while you and your family make some hot chocolate.

Tavistock College Introduces Accelerated Reader Scheme
By VAllen2012 | Thursday, November 08, 2012, 12:11
The College is delighted to be introducing Accelerated Reader to all year 7 students from October. This signifies a considerable investment of resources, time and money to ensure literacy, and in particular reading for pleasure, is at the forefront of the school curriculum.
Accelerated Reader Scheme
Accelerated promotes reading for pleasure and encourages pupils to use reading to learn.
- Motivate pupils of all ages and abilities to read more and better books
- Directs students' book selections and encourages on-going reading practice
- Raise literacy standards amongst all pupils of all abilities
- Develops a lifelong love of reading in students
Every student has undertaken initial screening to assess their current reading capabilities so that they are directed to the correct books to read; each student is also set an individualised points target for each term.
All year 7 students read during tutor time, in English lessons and are encouraged to use the library independently throughout the school day but now there is an added incentive! For every book read under the Accelerated Reader scheme, students take an online quiz to check their understanding and enjoyment of the book; successful completion of the quiz earns a student points and points mean prizes.
We are really keen for parents to get involved too so they have their very own section of the website which enables them to see the books their son/daughter has read and is currently reading along with information about how well he/she has done on individual book quizzes. A very useful tool for parents is the AR book finder tool which allows them to see if any named book is at the correct level for their child or to see a list of recommendations of books that are.
Whilst it is currently only our Year 7 students who are using Accelerated Reader, we will be rolling this out to all key stage 3 students over the next 2 years. As a college, we are very excited about the opportunities Accelerated Reader offers and look forward to celebrating student successes throughout the coming year.

"Mom?" The little voice was shaky over the phone. "Can you come get me right now? I don't feel good." Unfortunately, I couldn't. As my son handed the phone back to the school nurse, I explained that I was in the middle of conducting an interview in the next county. "I'll get there as soon as I can," I promised, listening to the sad sniffles behind her. "It's okay," she reassured me. "I'll take care of him until you get here." It was an immense relief to know that he was in good hands. (At least until I got him home and discovered he was faking it because he didn't "feel like math today.") But I may have to go back to worrying as this little Leave it to Beaver moment may be a thing of the past, thanks to budget cuts in many school districts around the country.
The Wall Street Journal reports that school nurses are being pink-slipped "from Philadelphia to San Diego, as public schools struggle to provide basic services while continuing to slash budgets." In some cases, nursing positions are being filled with cheaper paraprofessionals, but in many other cases the positions are gone all together leaving already over-burdened classroom teachers to fill in the gaps (and clean up the puke).
This is especially alarming now that so many of American kids require medication during the day thanks to increased cases of ADHD, autism, and even "adult" diseases like diabetes and high cholesterol. A school nurse's job isn't just hand holding and handing out lollipops; it often requires some serious medical knowledge like managing child doses of medications formulated for adults or recognizing anaphylactic shock due to a food allergy. Not to mention that they are often the only medical professional some children even have access to.
The problem is that most of their work is done behind the scenes. For many parents, their only interaction with the school nurse is leaving a voice mail to excuse their child's absence. This lack of visibility hurts when it comes to budget cuts because when it comes down to eliminating a nurse's position or a teacher's position, voters only see class sizes increasingalthough I'm certainly not suggesting that cutting teachers is a good idea, either. Health care crises are as ubiquitous as celebrity memoirs (and are about as easily understood too), and I'm afraid the school nurse may end up one more casualty in the war.
What's your opinion: Do we really need school nurses or should we be focusing on providing education? Have you or your child ever needed the school nurse? Got a good story to share?

Chesterton Tribune
Trucker cited when rig rolls on I65 off ramp
A trucker was cited on Thursday after rolling his semi-tractor trailer on an
I-65 ramp in Lake County, the Indiana State Police said.
According to police, at 10:01 p.m. Mike Acosta, 23, of Celina, Tenn., was
traveling too fast to negotiate the curve of the ramp from northbound I-65
to westbound I-80, his load of aluminum rolls, shifted, and his rig rolled
onto its side.
Acosta—who was issued citations for speed too fast to avoid a collision and
a load securement violation—advised police that a passenger vehicle had cut
him off.
The eight aluminum rolls—totaling 37,315 pounds in weight—were not lost but
the top of the trailer was split open, police said.
There were lanes closures until 12:45 a.m. for offloading the aluminum rolls
and righting the rig.
Acosta refused medical treatment for a non-life threatening injury to his
head, police said.

How to: give a stranger hope
Life can be a bit of a drag sometimes but it usually takes just a few kind words to turn it all around. Friends can be there when you need them but how about making someone's day but joining an inspiring new movement where you make hope for total strangers?
HOPErevo is my new favourite project. It was started by Krystyn, who works as a designer at web publishing platform SquareSpace. After finding a particularly hateful note about the homeless in coffeeshop one day, she decided to turn the tables on the haters and spread a little love. So she replaced the note with a hopeful one and thus the movement began.
The idea is as simple as it sounds: write a hopeful note and leave it somewhere for anyone to find.
You can also join in by adding the HOPErevo tag to your image on Flickr or adding HOPErevo to your filename so it pops up on Google images.
A beautiful way give a little hope to a total stranger. Get out there, make guerrilla happiness, and join HOPErevo. Go on.

Open-source group to meet BBC over iPlayer
Summary: The Open Source Consortium wants confirmation on whether the broadcaster is committed to a cross-platform version of the on-demand television service
The Open Source Consortium is to meet with the BBC Trust — the broadcaster's independent governing body — to discuss concerns about a cross-platform version of the BBC's iPlayer.
iPlayer is the BBC's online on-demand television service, which was launched last month. It will be available for public download on 27 July — but only for Windows XP users.
Mark Taylor, president of the Open Source Consortium, said the open-source industry group wants clarification on whether the BBC is committed to the iPlayer being cross platform and, if this happens, how it is going to be achieved.
Taylor said: "We want to know actually is it going to be cross platform and, if so, how do they [the BBC] intend to do that if the technology is based on a single platform? It would not be significantly more difficult to produce a cross-platform iPlayer than to have one locked into a single technology stack."
Taylor said: "We don't want to be complaining about it. We think the BBC [is] terrific. We think the iPlayer is a great idea and we'd like to see it cross platform."
A BBC Trust spokesman said it has always been committed to the iPlayer being platform neutral and is "very keen that this happens as soon as possible".
He added that platform neutrality was a condition of iPlayer approval and the Trust is running six-month reviews on the project, "in order to ensure that we move towards platform neutrality as soon as possible".
