Wu-Tang Clan leader RZA is doing some good this Father's Day weekend by heading to a Los Angeles Juvenile Hall to kick knowledge to dads going through a rough time in their lives.
According to reports, RZA is hosting a Father's Day event tomorrow (June 14).
RZA from the Wu-Tang Clan is going to jail … but not because he's in trouble — in fact, RZA is going to help. TMZ has learned … the rapper is working with the L.A. County Probation Dept. to host a Father's Day workshop at L.A. Juvenile Hall on Saturday. According to the L.A. County Probation Dept., RZA's goal is to help "educate the young men about their roles, responsibilities and expectations as fathers upon their release from juvenile hall." Among the activities, RZA will teach the inmates how to change diapers, dress a baby and properly care for a child. Responsible parenting ain't nuthin' to f**k with. (TMZ)
Tomorrow, Houston, Texas rapper Andre "007" Barnes is also hosting a Father's Day event.
On Saturday, June 16 Andre "007" Barnes, a former member of the gangsta rap group the 5th Ward Boyz, will hold the M.E.N. (Mentoring Educating Networking) Mentor Celebration in north Houston. The event is designed to honor and educate males of all ages in matters of finances, family, and faith. "Double 0″, who is now a business owner and dedicated Christian rapper, claims he didn't know his own father until the age of 22 after he had already achieved a criminal record and success as a recording artist on Rap-A-Lot Records. He said he was driven to organize the affair after seeing alarming statistics about the often negative fate (incarceration/homelessness, etc.) of children who grow up without a dad. (Houston Chronicle)
West Coast rap veteran Snoop Dogg recently talked about being a father to his kids.
My kids always heard my music from day one so they've been exposed to everything. They've been exposed to the truth because the truth don't have no prejudice. I've always expressed nothing but reality to my kids so that they understand when they leave outside of my house that it's a real world out there and it's not gon' be catered to you with maids, butlers and tutors. You're gonna have to go out there and survive and make it happen on your own. So, the reality of it is that they're gonna have to live their lives. My life is my life but they have to create their own lives." (Hip Hop DX)
Last year, New York rapper Saigon told SOHH his biggest regret of 2010 was not spending enough time with his daughter.
"When I think about my biggest regret over the past year, it would have to include my time away from my daughter. My biggest regret of 2010 was not spending enough time with my daughter. I definitely didn't spend enough time with my daughter. The problem is she lives in California and I live in New York. A lot of times, it's easy to make up excuses [for why] I don't see her as much as I should. I really should though. Even if I have to get on an airplane for six hours a week, then that's what I need to do. I really need to see her more. It's important now because she just turned two, and I would like to make up [for my absence]." (SOHH Guest Star)

I was going through my feed reader (as you do when sleep is hard)and came across a Google beta service called Knol a searchable tool where you post essay bits on topics you have some knowledge in and can have folks collaborate on it or not.
I searched for the social model of disability and finding nothing in the least bit useful, whipped up the following. I have left a lot out, and a lot of undefined terms, but its a start, and because its my writing to date at least I thought I'd embed it here too.
By the way, Liz Crow is here, though on a cursorary glance I can't see reference to her quoted paper.

Natural antibacterial
For years I thought I was doing the right thing for my family buying antibacterial soaps and hand washes. Then I found out the chemicals in most of those drug store products were just about as harmful and toxic to you as bacteria are. So glad I found this natural antibacterial wash. I've been a big fan/user of tea tree for years but never really heard of manuka until recently. It seems like a wonder ingredient. Yes, this soap is a bit pricey, but it's really luscious and nourishing and naturally antibacterial, and I don't begrudge paying a little more for something so important to the health and wellbeing of my family.
By Gigi on April 4, 2012
Too big of a splurge for soap
I love the Manuka moisturizing lotions, but I didn't think the hand wash was worth the price. It's nice and all - moisturizes and nourishes as it cleans - but I'd rather spend my money on other products besides hand soaps.
Directions for use
Gently lather a small amount onto wet hands then rinse clean in warm water. For best results follow with a Living Nature Hand and Body Cream.
Aqua (water), Decyl glucoside (from palm & coconut oil), Sodium lauroyl glutamate (from coconut oil), Glycerin (vegetable glycerin), Mel (manuka honey), Parfum (natural fragrance)*, Xanthan gum, Coco-glucoside (from coconut oil), Glyceryl oleate (from coconut oil), Glucose (plant sugar), Macrocystis pyrifera (kelp) extract, Pomaderris kumerahou flower/leaf extract, Glucose oxidase (from milk), Lactoperoxidase (from milk), Leptospermum scoparium (manuka) oil, Citral*, Citronellol*, Limonene*, Linalool*

Trees and Shrubs
Although our business started with a focus on hostas and other perennials, we are also making a name in the area of trees and shrubs. We first became interested in dwarf conifers in the late 1980s because the perennials needed some woody companions that wouldn't grow too large. Our customers are learning that we carry a pretty amazing selection of these dwarf conifers. Over the years, we have expanded our selection to include a wide range of trees and shrubs. We do carry some tried and true varieties, but we are always on the alert for something new and different. Naturally, we only bring in varieties that should be hardy in our area. Come check out our selection. You're sure to be impressed.
Naturally, we try to plant in our display gardens at least one of every new tree or shrub that we get in. As a result, we now have an ever expanding arboretum on the grounds. Ask, and we will point out where you can find a growing specimen plant.

Dutch golfers Christel Boeljon and Dewi Claire Schreefel joined Dutch celebrities Dominique van der Hulst and Isa Hoes for a putting and chipping contest on top of the tallest building in Benelux on Tuesday ahead of the Deloitte Ladies Open.
The players gathered on the 44th floor of the Maas in Rotterdam Tower to promote the tournament's official charity, Make-A-Wish Netherlands.
Two greens were placed on the roof of the 161.2 metre high building, home to the headquarters of Deloitte Netherlands, where such an activity has never taken place before. Eventually the team of Christel and Isa, an actress, won the contest, despite a fine 'hole-in-one' from Dewi, who was paired with singer, Dominique.
To watch a recap of this activity on YouTube, click here
Make-A-Wish Netherlands
This year, the Deloitte Ladies Open is committed to supporting Make-A-Wish Netherlands, through a number of activities at and around the tournament. Make-A-Wish aims to fulfil the wishes of children aged between 3 and 18 years with life threatening illnesses. Founded in 1989, so far the charity has made 4,246 wishes come true.
Make-A-Wish hole No.4
During the Deloitte Ladies Open, hole-4 at Broekpolder will be a special Make-A-Wish hole. This means that the first player who scores a hole in one there will ensure that EUR 15,000 is donated to Make-A-Wish Netherlands by the tournament organisers.
Make-A-Wish golf balls
Visitors can contribute to the charity by purchasing special Make-A-Wish golf balls. Within the pack, each day one green golf ball will be hidden and the lucky person that finds that ball will win a golf set from Nike Golf.

text: On May 23, 2012, about 1045 mountain daylight time, the pilot of a Rockwell International S-2R, N8421V, made a forced landing in a pasture about 1.5 miles southwest of Howard (K8D9) Municipal Airport, Howard, South Dakota. The pilot, the sole occupant on board, was not injured. The airplane was substantially damaged. The airplane was registered to and operated by East River Air Spray, LLC, Volga, South Dakota, under the provisions of 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 91 as a test flight. Visual meteorological conditions (VMC) prevailed at the time of the accident, and no flight plan had been filed. The local flight originated about 1040.The engine had recently been installed under STC (Supplemental Type Certificate) SA01980CH, and had accrued 2 hours flight time prior to the accident.According to the pilot's statement and accident report, he took off on the test flight and when he adjusted the throttle and propeller control for climb, he noticed low (40 psi, pounds per square inch) oil pressure and a corresponding loss of propeller pitch control. He decided to return to the airport but the airplane started to settle and lose altitude. He barely cleared a power line and fence and made a forced landing in a rough pasture. The right wing struck terrain, damaging the spar, and the airplane nosed down.Postaccident examination revealed a fractured aluminum line where it attaches to the propeller governor. This resulted in a loss of oil and oil pressure. Only 2 quarts of oil remained in the crankcase. The fractured line had been fabricated during the engine installation, and FAA Form 337, dated April 25, 2012, had been filed. Maintenance personnel told FAA inspectors they should have installed more Adel clamps to secure the line and minimize vibrations.

A great shop some really unique items and really helpful people here, could spend hours walking round in here
By sabre79 at 22:27 on 19/05/10
We are an independent framing and gift shop in Thornbury, Bristol. Surroundings is a small business trying to keep it local and fairtrade.
When you walk through the doors of Surroundings you could be forgiven for thinking you had been transported to a shop in Cape Cod, Main, or any town in New England! They not only are superb at picture framing but sell a wonderful range of items for the home, children etc. Many of the items remind me of my shopping trips in New England, America in 1984. Beautiful wooden toys, ornaments...even the smell of the various pot pourees reminded me of my trip.
The shop is light and airy, very well laid out, the only thing you will need is plenty of time! It is like an Aladin's cave..so many unique items to look at, so many wonderful ideas for your home and leisure.
Their picture framing and photograph framing is second to none. One of my favourite shops in Thornbury.
Parking couldnt be easier in the large free carpark opposite and they are open on Saturday's which is an added bonus.

It is my personal philosophy that I am better when I am with others than when I am by myself. I truly believe that people make better decisions when they come together. That is why the big circles in my painting overlap and the places where they do are more intense, interesting and expressive.
However, time alone is sometimes necessary and that is why I have allowed for single circles to float away on their own and express their individuality.

Wood has the capacity to breathe life into a sculpture and capture the essence of its form. Humaira Abid utilizes the organic properties of this material to give her art a rich delicacy that contrasts with the material's inherent hardness. In Mother and Child, she carves out a large rosebud form with the luscious quality of a real flower. By casting a smaller, inset rosebud out of bronze, Humaira gives Mother and Child added inner strength.

Microsoft ditches Windows 7 E plans
Microsoft has dumped the Internet Explorer-free version of Windows 7 that it had planned to release to the European market in the hope of appeasing antitrust regulators. The company confirmed on Friday that after receiving nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders from the European Commission, following Microsoft's offer to …
I'm sure I'm not the first to realise this, but surely releasing Windows with no browser at all can only hurt their image for the average customer. The sound of a million Mr and Mrs Joe Publics crying out "Where's the internet gone?", will not serve them well.
"We've been open both with the Commission and with our customers and partners"
That's a first then.
My order
So, um, what happens to my order on Amazon of Windows 7 Pro E then?
The EU are giving them the lazy eye
MS are squirming. They keep changing their plans even though the EU have made no rulings or official comments about any of their proposals.
With that kind of awkward behaviour, you can practically smell their fear.
I suppose some retard will arrive shortly to say something retarded about another browser maker...
I'd like to see...
...a ballot screen that shows each browser's performance in the Acid3 test. That might help consumers to make a more informed choice.
"Question 1 : Would you like a browser that works?"
How can an o/s ship without a browser?
I am an FF user. I avoid I.E like the plague and I use Linux so I am no fan of MS, but HTF can MS ship an o/s without a browser? How do people get online to download one of their choice?
MS can harldy be expected to ship other browsers on media accompanying the o/s. Arguably, a browser is an essential part of an o/s these days in the same way as a text editor is.
Browser free OS?
So what about all the applications that expect to find a browser?
And if you haven't got a magazine CD with Firefox on, how would you install a browser from the web - unless MS ship some form of FTP client?
That Browser Ballot page looks interesting and could possibly get around the EU legislation - perhaps they could also do a media player ballot while they're at it... and a "productivity software" ballot (i.e. office suite)...
Hell, go the whole hog and offer to download rival OSs (e.g. Debian, Fedora, FreeBSD, Mandriva, Mint, OpenSolaris, OpenSUSE, PCLinuxOS, Slackware, Ubuntu ... and maybe even something that attempts to ape Leopard - but on x86 hardware)
does it really matter what they do...
It doesnt matter what MS do about the broswer, the EU wont be happy. For a start MS is a nice revenue stream for the EU so the longer this problem remains unfixed the better for them!
Windows 7 E Pre-order
I already preordered windows 7 e.... does that mean I have to preorder again, or does it mean i'll receive a different product to what i ordered?
Upgrade or 'full' version?
I wonder where this indecision will ultimately leave those of us who pre-ordered the Upgrade version of Windows 7 E on the strength of it effectively being the full version for the upgrade price? If the EU goes for Microsoft's new option then the reason for offering E as full version only no longer applies.
Three upgrade versions at 45 quid a pop isn't quite the bargain that three full versions would have been. I look forward to the final word on this debacle. If the three pre-orders I have turn out to be upgrade only versions, I may be better off cancelling them and pre-ordering the Family Pack.
What a mess.
@Lewis Mettler 1
ISTR that not too many years ago we were all struck by the common sense of making the O/S present it's stuff in HTML and let the browser handle the front end bit. A triumph for light design and code reuse.
Move on a few years and it's "illegal".
Question: Which exact pieces of legislation have been enacted in the intervening years that have made it so? I'd love to see the exact text of a bill that specifically forbids the use of browser code in an O/S. For a start this would raise my opinions of the level of technical knowledge of legislators by an amount perishingly close to infinite*. Ah, so it isn't "illegal" per se it's just another stretching of the interpretation of "anticompetitive", which is pretty much what you make it IMHO.
The problem here is not MS. It's the fact that the goalposts are made of elastic, mounted on castors and positioned by capricious gits.
*Let's face it. Most of 'em think "browser" is a misspelling of a truckful of aviation fuel and "O/S" is probably something naughty involving zip-up latex, suspiciously-shaped fruit and maracas.
Stuff the EU
The whole argument about them being anti-competitive is rubbish. Who really stands to lose commercially by IE being part of the operating system? Most are open source free browsers.
The only other one that's really of commercial advantage to anyone is Safari and yup, that's because it's bundled by force with Mac OS X and the EU doesn't bat an eyelid about that!
Though Google can get commercial gain out of theirs but theirs is heavily tied to their search engine and will of course be central to the Google Chrome OS. Bet the EU doesn't kick up a fuss about that either! They don't even seem to care that Google are advertising Chrome to all IE users who browse to the Google home page (which must be the home page to the vast majority of users). Why should Google only advertise their browser on their home page? Surely in all EU fairness all other browsers should be advertised as well, until the page is 90% links to browsers and 10% is the seach edit box ;)
Pah, who cares. If you don't like what MS put out, go use another operating system, simple as that. Plenty of commentards here bang on about it enough.
It's like objecting to the fact Ford stick Ford engines in their cars. Don't like it, don't buy a bloody Ford!
I realise that this is vapourware, but that screenshot appears to show the ballot in IE. Going on past experience of Windoze, with IE shipping on the PC it somewhat implies that it will remain albeit hidden. Ballot via Windows Update would be the only compliant option would it not?
So if you've ordered Windows 7 E...
...what happens to your order?
For Pee Sake
Has anyone noticed how they are ignoring Apples shit completely?
Zzzzzzzz... I dont want Safari on my mac, I want IE. (giggles)
Again and again and again ad infinitum ad nauseum
the commentards come out of their holes to raise such thought provoking diatribe such as
"how does an OS work without a browser"
"what about Apple"
Jesus fucking wept what do they teach in schools these days. Common sense and cognitive function are certainly thin on the ground too.
NB. For comment tripe (1) lookup FTP and for (2) look up convicted market abusing monopolist.
Oi pillocks, shut up !!!!
"Oh hows it gonna download a browser den, duh?"
FFS, how difficult do you think it is to link to a maintainable download page at MS servers, the links then point to the EXE downloads on the actual browser websites, FF, Opera, Chrome, etc?
Finally you can write a LWP downloader in Perl in about 10 secs FFS! I'm sure even MS can be trusted to code a CURL/WGET type EXE than pull in a browser package EXE and run it!
Now shut up and stop being so flipping moronic! IT people can so pig-headed when they try.
So if you've ordered Windows 7 E...
... then (according to MS statements) you'll get a full copy of W7.
Well I don't know about all that.
All I know is I am excited to have the opportunity to finally download and install the famed "Browser 6"! I think "20 word description" says it all right there.
I must be old...
First, for all of you people saying "without a browser install CD how would someone be able to install one," Microsoft has been shipping a FTP client with their OSes for at least the past decade. Secondly, Microsoft's no-browser-at-all version of the OS is meant as a way for them to get numbers to throw claiming that almost no-one wants Windows without IE. Therefore almost everyone wants IE. Just a nice little slight of hand. AND, if the EU wanted to REALLY discourage Microsoft, why don't they make Windows ship without a browser at all and have Microsoft include an application which allows them to select a browser and install it via servers Microsoft is forced to keep online and up to date at all times. This would be a suitable reminder of why not to play greasy little games with consumers.
Windows 7 E pre-orders
Microsoft has stated that people in the EU who pre-ordered the Win7 E versions will get FULL Windows 7 versions - the same versions as the rest of the world. Your orders will be honoured and you won't be stuck with an upgrade disc. Clearly that wouldn't work.
So all is well, and you got a bargain ... er ... relatively speaking.
Presumably Win7 upgrade versions will start being sold over here at some point (though not the 'family packs' apparently).
Why do you have to pick only one?
Why not have all of them?
Why not just stick the install package for each alternate browser on the hard-disk image a long with Windows.
I have Mozilla Firefox, Konqueror (with two flavors of rendering engine), and Opera on my desktop PC
Shouldn't Europe be using an European OS, not this United States rubbish? We invented digital computers.
Big Money in Free Browsers
In 2006 Mozilla/Firefox make about $70 Million from search engine royalties.
Oh good grief
This whole charade seems ridiculous to me. And I don't get where this antitrust business is going. What next, 50 screens when i install windows offering me different browsers, calculators, notepads, calendars, et al? Where do you draw a line and say 'enough!'.
A browser is a perfectly sensible thing to ship with an OS. If you don't like that on, just bloody install one you do like! Instead of wasting millions of pounds on ridiculous court cases. This kind of legislation makes no sense and it clearly will never be applied to any other industry, or even other developers in the OS industry.
what ? an FPT client in windows ? that is surely monopolistic. We should have a ballot on which ftp client to install first ! Think about all those programs like smartftp , cuteftp that now are beeing blocked by the monopolistic ftp client from microsoft ...
and while we are at it can we also have a ballot for each and every other file that comes with a windows install.... That would certainly give a lot of choice to the user.
I also want a button that asks if i want fries with that...
Geeks Won't Be Happy
It's just a browser... who cares. Go buy a Mac if you hate IE that much...
@Chris Richardson
"It's just a browser... who cares. Go buy a Mac if you hate IE that much..."
Nah, I'll just install Firefox thanks. The reason people care is because it isn't just a browser - unless of course you can tell me how to uninstall it without completely fucking the OS over?
Thought not.
Topic here...
...at dawn.
For those asking why would the EU not want a browser shipped with a new OS. The EU/MS battle started years ago then the EU took an age to come to ruling/big fine.
In current terms... There is browser freedom. MS was making a point. The EU were shrugging their shoulders going not us mate and privately unhappy.
Hate IE?
I hate it so much I never use it... on Win XP.
Why on earth should hating IE make me a Mac buyer?
Or is that the MS camp are getting so sensitive (poor dears) that they are beginning to cry, "Don't like our browser? Well then! You can't play with our OS! So THERE!"
The US Appellate court specifcally decided that commingling IE with the OS did in fact violate US antitrust laws. The same laws that have been in affect since the beginning of the software industry.
Strange that TheRegister saw fit to censor the original post.
I guess those at El Reg can not handle the truth either.
@chris richardson. hahaaaa . good one
Remembers me of a situation where some mac afficionado tried to convince me it was so much better than a PC with microsoft .
I asked what software he ran on his mac. The answer was : MS Word , MS excel , MS powerpoint , MS access , MS internet explorer and some other MS stuff...
When i pointed out that MS stood for Microsoft all i got was a blank stare ...
Nobody's home and the lights were off too ....
are people in the EU less intelligent than in the US?
It would appear so.
I tried earlier to post a comment explaining how Microsoft's act remain illegal in the US and the EU.
But, what happened to the post?
The Register removed it leaving readers a bit ignorant. Sorry about that. Ask the Register about it.
What about the help engine?
Sorry, but the help engine, at least for older apps needs IE in order to work. How are they going to do that then?
Real People
Real people don't give a toss - most of them think google is their browser.
RE: Ah
But then Microsoft would have to make sure that the versions on WU were always up-to-date, test them to make sure that every browser installed successfully on lots of different hardware, and probably provide support for any installation failures.
Why should Microsoft have to pay for all this simply for their competitors' advantage? A ballot screen presented in a web browser (which has to be IE, since this is a virgin installation of Windows) seems like a fair compromise to me. My only question would be whether or not this screen would be presented if an OEM had decided to pre-install a competing browser (which would be the fairest thing to do, displaying the ballot screen on first run in whichever browser the OEM had installed)?
google is their browser
"most of them think google is their browser" --- sadly true, and slightly ironic too
@ 'How can it work with no browser? Posts
Windows Update will be able to access the internet and get drivers and updates (including IE8 if you want it) but a user-browser would not be provided by default.
Simple, really.
RE: Exciting
I too got excited, but then I realised it is just a marketing ploy. It's really a new browser, full of bugs and limited functionality, but psychologically if you release a version 1 or 2 or well anything less than 5 really EVERYONE knows how bad it will be. So call it 'Browser' to sound hip and cool and randomly call it version 6.
Everyone will go ''oooh, that sounds like a mature browser" and choose it. Firefox 3[.5] sounds so immature compared to it don't you think?

Information for STPEC students about the STPEC EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
STPEC is a student-run major that is committed to independent, critical thinking. This means that students have the opportunity as majors not only to make decisions themselves about their own education, but also to provide leadership and vision to the major itself. The STPEC Executive Committee is the official governing body of the major and is one very important way students are empowered to determine STPEC policy and educational vision. Consisting of STPEC students and staff and supportive UMass faculty, the Executive Committee is a representative body that uses a consensus decision-making process to determine policy. Issues are gathered by students and staff during the semester and presented to the Executive Committee for final approval or direction.
Students wishing to serve on Executive Committee should register for STPEC 291X, 1 credit, pass/fail. Please read the course syllabus (Spring 2015) before registering for this credit. In order to receive a P in this course, students will need to attend ALL of the student and full executive committee meetings, which are listed on the syllabus and on SPIRE, and meet the responsibilities outlined in the bylaws and on the syllabus.
Serving on Executive Committee is a great way to network, gain experience, and have a real impact on your education. You will learn real, transferable skills pertaining to meeting facilitation and participation, make decisions horizontally with faculty and staff, as well as add a valuable credential to your résumé. Students in 291X are expected to serve as a link between the Executive Committee and the STPEC student body. This connection is essential to building a strong, active, and informed STPEC community.
The full Executive Committee meets twice each semester, once early in the semester and once towards the end. Executive Committee meetings are three hours long. The Student Representatives to Executive Committee meet twice before each full meeting. The dates and times of both full and student meetings are set in advance and are published on SPIRE in the description for 291X. Please check these dates and times before registering for this course to be certain that you can make all of them. Click here for a full syllabus.

Published Friday, October 17, 2008.Patana shine at our very own Invitational Under 11 Basketball Tournaments
After a very busy week of Aquathlons and Inter Class Basketball some of our Year 5 and 6 Basketball stars of the present and future were invited to represent Patana in our very own Invitational Under 11 Boys and Girls tournaments. All of the games took place either on the Back Hard Courts or Sports Hall on Friday 3rd October between 3.30 and 5pm with schools invited from all over Bangkok.
Schools that answered the call were Concordian, Ruamrudee, Thai Chinese Int. School and Shrewsbury while we were fortunate enough to be able to enter 4 of our own teams in each of the boys and girls tournaments. I was delighted to be able to invite 30 of our girls and 32 of our boys to participate in the afternoon but could have invited more from our very healthy 71 boys Basketball and 40 girls Basketball ECAs. Unfortunately time and space meant that not all could play on this occasion.
The games came thick and fast with both tournaments being played on a 2 pool basis with cross over finals between 1st, 2nd, 3rd and in the boys case 4th placed team from the group stages. For many children this was their first experience of a Basketball Tournament with other schools and the learning curve proved steep indeed. It was very pleasing to see the tremendous improvement in all of the teams communication, skills and team work as the tournament progressed.
The Patana Teams all played with great enthusiasm and demonstrated sound knowledge and understanding of the game throughout and all of the children benefitted from their experience. Our boys teams proved particularly strong for our visitors gaining 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th place out of the 8 team tournament. Our Tigers team closing out a very close final with our Black Team 6-5. Some of the boys who played particularly well during the afternoon included Gene, Day, Devyn, Taran, Hien Htet, David, Fionn and Win while everybody contributed well to their respective teams.
Our girls team also played well with some very close score lines during the afternoon. The final results show our Patana teams in 1st, 2nd, 5th and 6th in their 6 team tournament. The final once again going to the Tigers over our Black Team by just 1 point. Some of the girls who played particularly well during the afternoon were Muffin, Mint, Satu, Molly, Katie, Jolie, India and Nina while once again everybody contributed confidently to their respective teams.
The afternoon proved to be a very positive end to a busy week and I would like to say a big thank you to all of the Coaches for their efforts and support. Also to the children for playing with such confidence and to the many parents who came along to cheer on all of the Patana teams.
Next up is the BISAC Basketball tournament on Saturday 8th November so keep shooting these hoops everybody!

Guestbook comments from the owner
Dear Carlton,
Thank you very much for our great holiday in your villa - it was our best holiday so far! Your villa is truly fantastic, we had everything we needed and more... we loved hummingbirds, green monkeys, beautiful flowers in your garden, night swimming in the pool... and I could go on.
Also thank you very much for the use of your car and arranging the taxi to take us to the airport - it is a shame that we couldn't say 'Thank you'
and 'Good bye' to you personally on our last day.
Please pass our regards also to Hazel - it was a real pleasure to talk to her!
Kind regards,
Radovan, Martina, Alexandra & Marcus
I just wanted to send a quick email to let you know we had a thoroughly enjoyable time in Barbados last week. The villa is spacious and beautiful. We really enjoyed sitting out on the veranda on an evening next to the pool, drinking rum punch. We also found everything we needed a short walk away, bars, restaurants, shops and the beautiful Sandy Lane B

List your business and it will be marketed to local Reader Rewards members through web listings, targeted emails, print, social media, and strategic community partnerships. Reader Rewards members will visit your business and make purchases with their registered credit/debit cards and earn cash back. At month's end, we send you a performance report and collect the reward and fee (this process allows your business to carry the capital throughout the month versus experiencing an instant discount at point of sale).
No changes in your business are necessary. There is no hardware or software installation required. We simply list your business in our online directory and promote your business to our members so they spend money at your location.
Reader Rewards provides consumer spend analytics that just aren't available to merchants otherwise. After three years of results, the increase in spending and frequency more than justifies the reasonable cost of our platform. Reader Rewards is truly the most cost-efficient marketing method in the merchant arena today. You've got nothing to lose, except loyal customers!
Merchants gain immediate access to new customers. Our members are currently spending 32% more than average customers. So even if you offer a 15% cash back rebate, you've still increased your profits by 17%. Additionally, our members are spending on average 1.6 times more often per month. With Reader Rewards, you reduce advertising waste and gain measurable results!
Absolutely! The rewards concept has been proven to influence spending habits. So, by offering a rebate to our targeted membership group, you're maximizing the merchant-customer relationship.
According to a recent market study conducted by a leading market research firm in San Diego, 65% of local consumers stated they found more value in cash rebates than coupons, miles, or points. In addition, 81% stated they would change merchants for a cash rebate incentive.
The volatility and economic challenges of the merchant marketplace are always forcing merchants to seek a competitive edge. Offering our seamless, cash-back rebate program that is free for members gives you that edge to effectively retain customers. Most surveys show that keeping one existing customer is 5 to 7 times more profitable than it is to seek new, single-transaction customers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 10, 2010
Program Has Potential To Put Thousands of Young People To Work in NYS, Helping Struggling Middle-Class Families and Pumping Dollars Into Local Economies
Nearly One in Three 20 to 24 Year Olds Are Neither In School Nor Employed, and Only One In Four Teens 16 to 19 Held Jobs in Late 2009, Hindering Economic Recovery
Research From Northwestern University Shows That Every Dollar A Youth Earns Puts Three Dollars Into Local Economy
Today, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer announced that he is working to pass a new youth jobs bill that will begin to address the incredible rate of unemployment among youth in New York and across the country. The current youth unemployment rate of 21.5% is a threat to our nation's broader economic recovery as an entire generation of young women and men see their talents wasted. Schumer announced that the proposed legislation, The Youth Jobs Act of 2010, sponsored by Senator Patty Murray (D-WA), has the capacity to create 500,000 transitional jobs for America's young people – a demographic that remains plagued by the economic recession. Schumer will make the case that transitional employment opportunities coupled with hands-on training is an effective way to bring America's youth into the workforce, and critical in helping middle-class families that, more than ever before, are financially supporting their grown children. The program will be dedicated to placing youth in jobs and training opportunities that provide valuable work experience, stimulate local economies, and boost the income of middle-class families.
"More than any time in recent memory, summer jobs for teenagers and young adults are going to be tough to come by this summer," said Schumer. "That's why we need to start taking critical steps to immediately address the problem - investing in summer jobs programs will not only ensure that kids and young adults have the proper training to join the work force, but will relieve stress on middle class families and is a proven way to jumpstart a local economy."
The Schumer-backed legislation has its roots in the 1998 Workforce Investment Act. The Workforce Investment Act brings together public resources and private industry to create Workforce Investment Boards that act as local hubs for employment. The Workforce Investment Boards each create programs specifically tailored for the region's needs to promote employment for people of all ages. Schumer said that the Youth Jobs Act of 2010 focuses on the unemployed who are 24 years old and younger by creating specific programs to invest in summer and year-round employment for youth.
Schumer said that such programs have been proven overwhelmingly successful. A similar program included in the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act used $1.2B in recovery act funding to create 300,000 jobs for unemployed youth. This proposed effort will again target youth between 14 and 24, millions of whom enter the workforce each year in the late spring and early summer as they graduate or as schools close for summer recess.
Currently, Workforce Investment Boards are giving young adults a chance for meaningful employment all across New York. For example, the Niagara County Workforce Investment Board offers computer and customer service training to young adults so that they can meet entry level standards for employers in Western New York. In Central New York, the Onondaga County Workforce Investment Board keeps a centralized job bank and works with local employers to provide custom training so that young adults can hit the ground running at a new business. And in the Hudson Valley, the Orange County Workforce Investment Board provides an array of services to young adults that includes: job specific training skills, basic education courses and classes on how to rise to managerial positions in the business world.
Schumer said the proposed legislation would send approximately $76 million to the Workforce Investment Boards in New York. An analysis from the New York State Department of Labor suggests the funding would break down as follows:
o Under the Youth Jobs Act of 2010 the Capital Region would receive $3,637,585.00
o Under the Youth Jobs Act of 2010 Western New York would receive $6,614,302.50
o Under the Youth Jobs Act of 2010 the Rochester/Finger Lakes Region would receive $4,763,781.25
o Under the Youth Jobs Act of 2010 the Southern Tier would receive $2,661,102.50
o Under the Youth Jobs Act of 2010 Central New York would receive $4,538,222.50
o Under the Youth Jobs Act of 2010 l Hudson Valley would receive $5,391,208.75
o Under the Youth Jobs Act of 2010 the North Country would receive $2,724,255.00
Schumer said the version of the program funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act supported almost 30,000 youth jobs last year. Here is how the job count breaks down by region:
o In the Capital Region, about 1,500 people found work because of the Summer Jobs Program
o In Western New York, about 1,800 people found work because of the Summer Jobs Program
o In the Rochester-Finger Lakes Region, about 1,000 people found work because of the Summer Jobs Program
o In the Southern Tier, about 500 people found work because of the Summer Jobs Program
o In Central New York, about 1,700 people found work because of the Summer Jobs Program
o In the Hudson Valley, about 1,400 people found work because of the Summer Jobs Program
o In the North Country, about 800 people found work because of the Summer Jobs Program
Youth unemployment – often buried underneath population-wide estimates – has skyrocketed during the recent economic recession. The "disconnection rate" of 20 to 24 year olds who are neither enrolled in school nor employed rose from 17 percent in 2007 to 28 percent last year. Among teenagers, the unemployment rate exceeds what it was for all workers during the Great Depression. The percentage of employed teens, 26 percent in late 2009, is the lowest it has been in more than six decades. Bringing these young adults into the work place will be great for their future but also great for our current economy. A recent study by Northwestern University has shown that a dollar earned by a young adult translates into three dollars in economic activity. That translates into a $225,000,000 boost for New York's economy from this bill.
"Putting young people back to work is a proven way to help the economy, and is a goal we should be aggressively pursuing," Schumer added.

Officers recommend Verhage be charged with multiple counts of theft and fraudulent writings. The reports have been forwarded to the Dane Co. District Attorney's Office.

A youth baseball and softball organization is reportedly at the center of a police investigation.
The Kennedy Little League coaches kids from the Lafollette, Monona Grove, and McFarland High School attendance areas.
Late this week coaches and members of the board received an email which said there was an "on-going investigation by the Madison Police Department regarding funds missing" from the organization.
The email also says police have a person of interest and have started a criminal investigation. It says the league will still be able to "make all of our financial commitments and we are in no danger of not being able to continue to provide baseball and softball for our children."
It is still unclear how much money may be missing from the league's accounts.
So far, Madison Police have not released any information regarding this situation.
