Duquesne city school teachers call off strike
Teachers with the Duquesne public schools called off a strike that had been scheduled for Monday.
The Duquesne Education Association said its 35 members voted to stay on the job because of worries about the safety of district pupils. A union statement said district officials planned to keep the school open, leaving nine district administrators and the school support staff in charge of more than 350 pupils from kindergarten to sixth grade, which the union said would lead to unsafe conditions.
The union called for a work stoppage in a bid to gain mandatory nonbinding arbitration over an extended contract dispute.
"We have been trying in good faith to settle our contract for over 30 months," DEA President Monica Walker said in the statement. "We have gone to fact-finding, accepted the fact-finder's report, and have done everything possible to reach a fair and equitable settlement."
Sarah McCluan, contracted spokeswoman for the district, said administrators look forward to completing the school year, which is scheduled to end on Tuesday.
"Notwithstanding the allegations... the safety of the students and staff has never and will never be consciously compromised," she said.

October is now drawing to an end.
The days are getting shorter and we will soon need to turn our clocks back as we prepare for winter to arrive.
The leaves are falling, the winds are blowing and the temperatures are dropping.
Here in the Pacific northwest, we are beginning to experience the typical rainy days and nights that we are known for.
I guess we must accept that autumn is upon us and winter just a month and a half away.
John has been working diligently on getting the Wright J-5 Whirlwind engine ready to go.
Unfortunately, when one attempts to restore an engine that was originally built in the 1920's, one finds as they go along, there are a myriad of issues they need to overcome.
John has had to search high and low for several of the internal parts he needs for the engine.
Not only are the parts hard to find … they are expensive … since there are so few of them left.
He has been lucky to find a couple of individuals who have been willing to share their knowledge with him in order to overcome some of the seemingly insurmountable hurdles he has run into.
Perhaps if we all collectively keep our fingers crossed, we will be able to find the rest of the parts he needs in order to complete the engine.
Without an airworthy Wright J-5 Whirlwind for a power plant, our Spirit of St. Louis will not be making the 2016 USA tour that we are planning.
If you know of anyone who might have one of these old engines sitting around that they no longer have any use for … please let us know how we might get in touch with them.
Be safe if you venture out on Halloween, and enjoy your autumn!

Classic Cops of the Day
Date: May 18, 2011
by: The Observer Staff
Dec. 11, 2000
Nature calls ...
12:40 a.m. — 3255 University Parkway. Disorderly conduct. The suspect approached a sheriff's deputy and asked him for a camera, stating that he wanted a picture of himself urinating on a cop car parked nearby. The deputy thought the suspect was joking around and advised him that he did indeed have a camera in his car but that he should refrain from doing what he intended to do. The deputy turned around for a moment, and when he turned back around, the suspect was urinating on another deputy's vehicle. The deputy walked up to the suspect, told him to pull up his pants and placed him in his patrol car. The suspect was arrested and transported to jail.

Full detailed profile on Nicole Walker Layton Roberts Kiriakis DiMera Played by Arianne Zucker on Days of Our Lives Daytime Soap Opera.
Arianne Zuker (Matthew Mitchell)
Birthday: June 3 1974
Kristen meets Eric at TBD and tells her John's waking up. Kristen's glad to hear. Eric isn't sure if he'll be fully recovered. Kristen says how he recovers isn't in their agreement. Is he considering going back on their deal? A drunken Nicole interjects and slurs, "You bet he is." Nicole's planning on enjoying every minute of it. She sticks her tongue out at Kristen, who Kristen asks if Eric's not seriously going to listen to "the whacko" here. Eric says nothing and goes with Nicole at his heels. He tells her to stay out of his business. Krissy offers Nicole a drink to help celebrate. They hurl insults at each other and Nicole dumps her drink on the floor before she takes off.
At TBD, Nicole hopes she didn't get Aiden in trouble with "Frowny face." She didn't. He managed that all on his own. Nicole wants to sue Kristen for alien of affections, claiming she ruined her relationship with Eric. Aiden says a case could equally be made against Nicole for screwing her own chances with Eric up. Nicole huffs but agrees. They joke around and Aiden admits he can recite the alphabet backwards. She tells him to keep it to himself and they get the giggles. Hope finds them together. "You two can't get enough of each other," she accuses. Nicole leaves and Aiden says it was business. He thinks she's jealous. They step outside and Hope admits at times she's felt attracted to him. It's complicated. He knows she loves her husband. She does but feels deserted by Bo. She worries her feelings are in retaliation and he deserves better. She runs away.
Eric fantasizes about making love to Nicole on a nearby table at the pub. Caroline interrupts, "Penny for your thoughts?" He talks about selling his photography. She goes and he fantasizes again. Nicole shows up, having heard what he sacrificed for John. Eric doesn't want to talk to her. She cries that she misses him. He learns she's been buying his art and is pissed. Nicole yells that it's all she has left of him.
At the Brady's pub, Nicole fishes for information about what's going on with John. Her sources are saying there's a story there. Eric refuses to tell her so she vows to get the scoop elsewhere. Eric reminds her she agreed not to broadcast anything about him or his family. It's good news but none of her business. Nicole pulls the reporter card and when that doesn't work she leaves.
Nicole arrives at the hospital and demands Marlena tell her what's going on with John. After a few threats, Marlena takes her aside and Anne follows. After Nicole agrees to keep the story mum until Marlena gives her the go ahead, Marlena tells her the whole story. Anne eavesdrops and then runs off. Nicole's furious with Kristen and calls her inhuman. "She should be put down." Marlena agrees. "Nobody would miss her." Nicole wants to team up again to take her down but Marlena says that's not going to happen because of what Nicole did to Eric.
In the square, Aiden tells Nicole he advised his client not to talk to her. Nicole is upset, but then admits she didn't want to do the interview anyway. They bond over being in foul moods and sit down. Nicole talks about Eric. "I didn't trust myself." She asks about Aiden and Hope. He laughs, "What?" Nicole isn't blind. Aiden says he and Hope don't line up. Nicole muses, "What you're saying is she's a b****." She trashes Hope and laughs that her husband calls her Fancy Face, but she calls her Frowny Face. Hope appears. Nicole leaves. Hope confronts Aiden about them having a laugh at her expense. Aiden asks Hope why she came over. Hope says since he makes fun of her behind her back, it won't happen again.
Sami discusses Stefano's return with Kate over the phone at the Brady's pub but hangs up when she sees Eric and Nicole arguing. Sami sides with Eric when he tells Nicole there's no future for her there. Sami and Nicole start name calling and Eric gets between them. Sami calls Nicole 'dead meat'. Nicole is surprised Sami's kids aren't 'motherless' yet, crying themselves to sleep at night. "You know you have a target on your back." Sami looks petrified. Nicole immediately apologizes. She's sure Sami's kids will be fine. She just lost her temper. Eric takes Sami away and Nicole goes to order. Caroline refuses to serve Nicole because of what she did to Eric. They argue about who is worse. Her or Kristen, and Nicole defends herself. There's a fine line between love and hate. Caroline thinks she's nuts if she believes Eric loves her. Nicole yells, "That feeling doesn't just die!"
Nicole wanders the park griping about Kristen.
Daniel helps Nicole pick up a file she drops at TBD. He finds a job offer she received from Santa Fe but she's not taking it. The money is crap. She asks if he'd miss her if she left. He says no and reminds her they're not friends. Nicole has heard it countless times. "Sticks and stones, and cold shoulders and icy stares..." She's staying to help Brady because she doesn't abandon friends. She goes to sit with another reporter. They discuss Daniel. Nicole is sure he'd miss her if she moved. She gets an idea and runs out.
Nicole enters John's hospital room, where Eric sits. She insists she didn't follow him, but he isn't buying it. They step out. Nicole assures Eric she doesn't want to hurt him. Eric can hardly stand to look at her. Nicole lashes out about him hating her.

Miroslaw Eric Sulkowski
My soul smells of the wind
Which rolls across the plains
Swoops over endless waters
Caresses ocean waves
It picks up thoughts and scents
Along its endless way
Some particles and leaves
Which swirl and dance and play
My soul smells of the wind
Which brings awaited rain
Transporting missing prayers
And unexpected change
It whispers then it howls
Does never rest or stop
Deposits in my soul
Sweet molecules of hope
My soul smells of the wind

University of Redlands > Offices & Directories >
Student Employment >
Your first step to a Work-Study position is to fill out an application.
Please download and complete the application.
If you are hired for a Work-Study position, you will be asked to complete a W-4 tax form and INS form I-9. Be sure to bring acceptable forms of identification with you to campus (photocopies are not acceptable).
What is a W-4 form?
This form instructs the University how to withhold your earnings for income tax. You use the W-4 form to estimate what your tax liability might be at the end of the year and we withhold accordingly during the year. However, you must earn above a certain amount before withholding takes place. For example, if you claim no allowance, you must earn $240 in a two-week period to have $1.36 in taxes taken out. If you claim one allowance, you must earn $380 in a two-week period to have $.26 in taxes taken out. That means most students do not have taxes withheld during the school year, although taxes are often withheld if students work more hours during summers or break periods.
Please download and complete the W-4 form.
What is a I-9 form?
The I-9 was developed by the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service to verify that persons are eligible to work in the United States. As an employer, the University of Redlands is required to have student employees file form I-9 with the Student Employment Office before they are considered eligible to work.
Acceptable forms of identification.
Student Employee of the Year Nomination Form 12-13 (supervisor use only)
In April 2010, it was designated a Tree Campus USA by the Arbor Day Foundation. Redlands is among just three other colleges or universities in California to receive this designation.

Like many small schools, Turlock Christian High has had its fair share of problems when it comes to student enrollment and athletics. Typically, the resulting effect of low roster numbers is a decreased level of competiveness but other measures-such as the elimination of junior varsity programs- have also been taken in years past.
Case Hirdes' veins pump rodeo blood. The Turlock teenager has been enthralled with the sport and the lifestyle since as long as he can remember; following the dusty boot prints of his grandfather Les, father Ed and brother Blake. While his high school peers focused on sports like baseball and football, Hirdes soaked up all things rodeo as he competed in both amateur and high school competitions.
Four years ago, Cerah Moren attended the USA Youth Outdoor Championships with a broken arm and, understandably, left the competition with less than stellar results. Since then, the young Turlocker healed, continued with her track and field training, and picked up new skills and abilities that many girls her age do not have.
Turlock High's Isaac Bertalotto was on the national stage once again last week when he joined the California USA Wrestling team in Florida for the USA Wrestling Cadet National Duals Tournament. With his help in the 145 pound division, the California team earned 7th place in the Freestyle competition and finished as consolation champions in Greco-Roman. It was Bertalotto's first national team experience.
Austin Bush's junior baseball season was one he will likely never forget. With his gloved hand on first base and with both hands gripping the bat from the plate, Bush helped his Turlock High team win an undefeated league title, set a 26 consecutive win streak record, and compete for a Division I SJS championship.
Turlock and Pitman High will each have one representative in tonight's 40th annual Lions All-Star Football Game at Modesto Junior College. Da'Shawn Holcombe and Diego Camorlinga will sport Bulldog and Pride helmets, respectively, alongside former competitors and strangers as part of the 2013 South squad.
The Turlock Christian High varsity football program has a new head coach. After two years, Shane Smith has stepped down and Robert Kisse will step in to lead the Eagles.
First Team:
The East took down the West, 5-2, in a defensive grudge battle in the 24th annual Modesto Sunrise Rotary Baseball classic on Saturday - a tradition that dates back to 1990.
League Champions: Waterford / Le Grand
League Champions: Mariposa
Adam Groesbeck - alongside Turlock High coaches - signed his appointment letter to attend and play baseball for the United States Air Force Academy.
The 24th annual Modesto Sunrise Rotary Baseball Classic will be held at John Thurman Field in Modesto this Saturday as West meets East in a clash of the very best junior and senior players the area has to offer.
Most Valuable Player - Daulton Jefferies, Buhach Colony
Four local athletes placed in the top six of their respective events at the Sac-Joaquin Section Track and Field Division I Masters at Elk Grove on Friday. No Pitman or Turlock athletes will move on to State, however.
Pitman High is headed to the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section championship match for the first time ever after Tuesday's 3-1 (19-25, 25-14, 25-13 and 25-20) victory over St. Francis High of Sacramento.
Maybe the second time is the charm.
The list of Turlock High athletes moving on to the collegiate level continues to grow.
It was déjà vu for the Bulldogs of Turlock High when they traveled to Tracy High for the first round of the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs. As was the case when the two Bulldog teams met in week 5, Turlock found itself just two points shy of victory after a failed two-point conversion attempt cemented a final score of 21-19
The Pitman Pride varsity football team went into Friday's Division-I CIF Sac-Joaquin Section round one tournament game looking to rebound from last week's disappointing Harvest Bowl loss to Turlock. However, the Pride met a very demanding Napa High team, who controlled the field from the onset.
The 2014 cross country season came to an end for Pitman, Hilmar and Turlock High School athletes last Saturday at the Subsection meet held in Angels Camp.
Turlock High's turnaround season on the volleyball court met its end at the hands of Lincoln High Tuesday night, but it wasn't without a fight.
The Turlock Christian High volleyball team picked up right where it left off in last year's postseason and that is with a victory, but this time it was an upset.
The Hilmar High volleyball team entered the CIF Division IV Sac-Joaquin Section Girls Volleyball Tournament on Tuesday as the number two seed and heavy favorites. The Yellowjackets lived up to their hype, defeating number 15 seed Orestimba High, 3-0, (25-13, 25-18 and 25-17).
Pitman High took its first post-season step Monday night when its girls hosted McClatchy High of Sacramento in the first round of the CIF Division I Sac-Joaquin Section Girls Volleyball Tournament. The top seeded Pride dispatched the Lions with relative ease, 3-0 (25-13, 25-5 and 25-6), as they outsized and overpowered their opponent on the court.
The Pitman High girls water polo team had one of the program's most successful regular seasons in 2014, as the Pride made the postseason for only the second time in seven years and the first since a five-year hiatus when the team made it in 2008.
The girls tennis season is over for Turlock High.
Denair High's Edwin Flores tallied five onside kicks and recovered all of them last Friday en route to the Coyotes' 62-21 victory over the visiting Waterford High team, ending their six-game Southern Athletic League losing streak.

If you go on FB search for "TD Hazen" and you'll see some photos.
The photos are pretty horrifying.
However.... at one point she was one of the "good guys" in the Morgan breed, helping to expose behind-the-barn breeding to Saddlebreds that got a bunch of horses expunged from the registry (including a World Champion Stallion who was proven by DNA to be half Saddlebred!) and a shyster by the name of Bruce Ekstrom permanently banned from doing any business with AMHA. (Google Chantilly Lace and/or FCF Rhythm Nation for more details.)
Morgan folks are saying that she has been battling cancer for several years, but if this was the case why did she not reach out sooner, before things got so bad? The Morgan world is small and fairly close knit. Her horses are very well-bred for sport, with lots of Pecos blood close up.
The older herd members would have been DNA tested & blood typed. Morgan Horse Assoc can possibly identify. That might help in finding homes, especially if people who sold her mares or stallions would take them back. Are the horses that were seized still alive?
Looks like she has been trying to sell the property for a couple of years... but if there are actually 24 horses on 2.56 acres methinks this is a no-win situation. Presumably all are in stalls?
Working with the owners isn't always possible, but I prefer that counties try that before seizures when it is possible.
I'm not commenting on the specifics of the case as I'm not there, but I am going to comment on generalizations that aren't correct.
In my 15 years experience these cases are long standing & working with owners does not work in majority of cases. Each case is different & requires investigation. However it is the owner's responsibility -legally- to educate themselves before taking on the ownership of a horse, a car, a house, etc. It is not the government or anyone else's job to educate or babysit. That ended at age 18 or legal age of majority.
As for Harrisburg Humane, yes it is their responsibility once they were made aware of the conditions of the horses. It is in their mission statement, they ask for money from the Public & government in furtherance of that mission, which includes enforcing the cruelty law. That is why they employ a humane society police officer.
The property is not 2.5 acres. It is 40 according to Dauphin County Records. Anyone who looks at the property on a map program can clearly see the area the horses are in, & it's not 2.5 acres. There is 2.5 acres offered for sale adjoining, which may be owner subdividing, probably in attempt to pay back taxes & other debt.
As for cancer eventually traveling to brain, it does not take cancer going to the brain to cause someone to neglect. The sheer amount of physical labor involved in caring for horses, let alone a breeding herd is enormous. Any illness that takes a person's physical strength or ability is enough. Just like an animal that is weakened by disease or starvation, apathy sets in. Out of sight, out of mind. None of this excuses her failure to care for these horses, & other animals, including at least one goat & flock of birds. Responsible owners contact friends, family, etc for assistance.
Let's face it, how many rescues would have helped her if she called stating she could no longer care for sound & healthy horses & selling them at auction not an option as concern for their welfare. Unbroken young horses at auction often do not sell well. If advised to put them down, how do you think an owner of well bred horses would feel? How would you?
How many welfare organizations help responsible owners when they reach out for help? More often than not they are turned away & told to put animal down. Guarantee you if she called & said she was going to shoot them, abandon them, or take them to killer auction the rescues would go into overdrive posting on Internet or rushing to auction to save them. Would anyone pick up the phone & notify humane society? If not, why not?
Welfare organizations aid irresponsible owners, rarely responsible owners who find themselves needing assistance.
Irresponsible owners need to be made responsible, held to the same standard as responsible owners. In this country when you become an adult, it's no more time outs, it is the justice system. People listen when their money or their freedom is taken away from them. Not so much when money is given to them or they are relieved of their problem with no consequence.
The conduct of Harrisburg Humane is par for the course & it's time they are held to task for failing to do their job & violating the law. If not, animals will continue to suffer & die because humane societies seem unable to understand the 4th amendment & rules of criminal procedure. As stated before, if you can't, or won't play by the rules of the game, then get out of the game.
Enforcing the law properly will go a long way towards preventing animals from suffering.
Why anyone would make excuses for a humane society that refused to handle a case that was handed over to them with enough probable cause already in place to get a search warrant to seize the horses that were clearly starving to death & kept in filthy & unsafe conditions, only to allow it to continue for 2.5 years resulting in more births, more suffering, & deaths is beyond me & quite frankly, not even worthy of discussion.
Rebecca L. Roberts, Esq. called her place "Shadowland Morgans," which is really creepy as so many indeed crossed into the shadowlands of death out there. I'm just sick that I've driven past that place dozens of times and never knew.
And so what is your solution? Harrisburg Humane & any other agency for that matter that fails to do their job needs to be accountable . How many horses need to suffer & die because they fail to respond when notified or they don't follow the rules & they lose in court resulting in animals going back to the same situation. Just what is your solution? Praise? Applause? Kudos to you because of your failure to act animals died. Great job! This is a repeat of past behavior. Tell me how many times are you going to defend them? Would you keep boarding your horse at a facility that kept turning your horse out on lush grass resulting in your horse foundering each time when they KNEW your horse susceptible? Or kept feeding them hay when they can't chew it & choke? Just how many times would you let it happen?
Go ahead keep supporting an agency that never learns & never changes
Palmyra Morgans,
I don't think anyone here is defending Harrisburg Humane Society, or Ms. Roberts. Please re-read cowgirljenn's posts; she is extremely experienced with large-scale neglect cases and the ins-and-outs of seizure, working with owners, lack of funds/space for many humane societies and animal control agencies to keep large animals, especially in large numbers etc. She's in Texas, which isn't exactly known for being proactive in these cases.
There have been some large-scale rescues within the Morgan community in the past few years, and it seems most commonly the problem starts with older/ailing breeders not really understanding the realities of today's economy, or dying and leaving large numbers of horses to their heirs, who are unable/unwilling to care for them. The community *may* step up again, but many have taken on as many "extra" horses as they can and resources have worn thin.
Brain cancer, depression etc. are *reasons* for things like this happening, not excuses.
Okay - well, regardless of Harrisburg Humane's action or inaction, is there anything to be done for the horses that are left? I don't see any fundraising anywhere...
On Facebook the person who has some of the removed horses posted a link:
www.humanesocietyhbg.org and said to donate there, specifying the money is to be used for the "Hershey Rescue Horses." (For those not local, although the news reports refer to Palmyra, PA, this farm is just outside Hershey, PA and Rt. 743 is a busy 2-lane leading right into Hershey).
Bet cowgirljenn could also give Palmyra there a guesstimate on how much money and space is needed to seize that many horses at once. Humane Societies have facilities to take in dogs and cats, not livestock. How easy is it to transport, vet, and find places (ideally with quarantine paddocks/stalls) ready to take in sick and starving horses safely?
And while obviously it's not THEIR responsibility, if the Morgan community knew the owner's been sick...why didn't THEY reach out to HER? Assuming it's true someone dealing with a cancer diagnosis might not be in the mental place to be thinking about their animals or the physical state to do anything about it. My parents' neighbor's wife got sick very abruptly, as in needed to go downstate to UM's hospital, so my parents fed and watered and helped out neighbors' adult children with chores until it was over. Yes, it was a hassle for my parents and it was not something my neighbor would have wanted to ask about, but it's just what you do.
I happened to see this on CL Harrisburg this evening- they (HS) are looking for hay and grain

It's official – the board of directors cut the quarterly dividends by 88% to $0.05/share. This follows recent dividend cuts from JP Morgan(JPM) and PNC Financial (PNC), which cut their quarterly dividends by 87% and 85% respectively in an effort to conserve cash.
US Bancorp CEO said the following: "The decision to reduce our quarterly dividend was thoughtfully considered and very difficult, given the importance of the dividend to our shareholders. It was, however, the right decision, as our industry continues to confront uncertainty in the financial markets and a weakening economy. It is important for our shareholders to know that we are not reducing the dividend and preserving capital from a position of weakness, but from a position of strength and a desire to continue to invest in and expand our business. We are benefiting from a flight to quality as we continue to lend, acquire deposits and grow our fee-based businesses. In addition, we are investing in our franchise and employees, positively impacting our customers and the communities we serve. A strong capital position is essential to manage, grow and prosper in this challenging environment. Our company's capital position is solid, evidenced by a Tier 1 capital ratio of 10.6 percent at December 31, 2008."
The company also announced that it would be reinstating its dividends whenever the economic picture stabilizes. This decision would save the Minneapolis based bank approximately $2.6 billion dollars annually.
The move wasn't surprising since USB couldn't cover its previous payment of $0.425 for the last two quarters. In November, USB received $6.6 billion from TARP. In December the bank failed to increase its dividend to shareholders for the first time 37 years. The latest move lead US Bancorp losing its dividend aristocrat status. In my analysis of US Bancorp (USB) back in April 2008 i warned that the high dividend payout ratio is a warning sign that dividend growth might be less spectacular in the future.
I don't own any USB stock but if I did, I would be a seller on this mornings open. One could never tell if the worst for financials is over. US Banks have collectively shown that if they find a way to avoid sharing profits with their shareholders, they would cut or suspend dividend payments. Once again the lesson learned for investors is to never chase high yielding stocks which do not have a good enough coverage of their current dividend payment. In addition to that, concentrating the majority of one's dividend income portfolio in one or two sectors such as financials or utilities is a recipe for disaster.
Of all the major banks, Wells Fargo (WFC) is also rumored to be the next to cut its dividends. It fits the profile of a dividend cutter perfectly - it has already received billions in TARP money.

I sold at $12.70 few mins later it was at $12.29, and dropping. It will be ugly for USB today.ReplyDelete
Best Wishes,
I as lucky never to have bought it in the first place. I was seriously considering it around $30..
May be a good alternate option to own USB is via USB preferreds. They are trading pretty cheap. If I read right they are keeping dividends on preferreds. Not sure about future. There was also news that USB may give back their TARP money.ReplyDelete

Brooklyn's Finest
It's hard to underestimate the influence fellow Bed-Stuy native the late, great Notorious B.I.G. had on Jay. Acquaintances in high school, the two became closer in the music biz. Big's seminal blend of street and mainstream paved the roads Jay later drove down. They linked for a classic back-and-forth on "Brooklyn's Finest" from Jay's debut album Reasonable Doubt, and on "I Love the Dough" from Biggie's Life After Death. Throughout his career, Jay's quoted and shouted out B.I.G.

We immediately asked for Durian Merah, the red durian prolific to the area. The staff was shocked that Westerners had heard of their durian - and wanted it - but after exchanging giggles and grins one of the girls invited us to hop in her car and head to the local market.
That's where we found Sabah Tempoyak, a unique side dish made exclusively out of red durian.

Denton police have turned over arrest affidavits for a UT Arlington associate professor jailed last week in connection with money laundering over $200,000 from a pharmacy acting as a "UT Arlington suspended Eronini Megwa,59, with pay Friday after his arrest last week along with his wife, Susan Megwa, 50, after a two-year investigation of Megs Pharmacy in Denton. Megwa's wife owns the pharmacy and he was listed as an officer.Eronini Megwa has taught in the communications department at UT Arlington since 2008. The associate professor taught classes in mass communication, public relations, journalism, and intercultural and international communication, according to a university profile.He and his wife late last week.Eronini Megwa was arrested last Tuesday on a charge of money laundering over $200,000, according to police. Susan Megwa was arrested on three counts of diversion of controlled substances and one count of laundering over $200,000.According to arrest affidavits for the Megwa's, investigators were tipped off that the pharmacy was acting as a "pill mill" a few years back when its name continued to pop up during prescription fraud arrests. Rachel Fleming searched through the Megwa's trash at their Southlake home and found both Eronini and his wife were on the payroll at Meg's Pharmacy.He received $875 every two weeks, .Records show that the pharmacy account paid for UT Arlington Admissions, SAT test fees and other costs not associated with pharmacy business. "As of this afternoon, Dr. Megwa has been suspended from his position at UT Arlington with pay, pending the outcome of a university investigation into the criminal allegations he is facing," UT Arlington spokeswoman Kristin Sullivan said Friday."Dr. Megwa is not scheduled to teach this summer but had been scheduled to teach during the fall 2014," she said.Investigators said Susan Megwa was writing faulty prescriptions for patients traveling outside the Metroplex, and even ones for herself for hydrocodone. According to arrest affidavtits, Susan Megwa's pharmacy ordered high amounts of hydrocodone, oxycontin, oxycodone, adderall, amphetamine salts, butrans, morphine sulfate and methadone. Fleming searched the dumpster outside the pharmacy in May and found pharmacy labels and receipts. But among the routine labels were ones that "appeared to be printed on plain paper so the paharmacy name would not appear."According to the affidavits this is a method that can be used for sell pills "out the back door."The Drug Enforcement Administration and the Texas State Board told police that "the quantities of controlled substances being ordered were higher than most chain pharmacies that are open 24 hours."The report also states that husband and wife spent cash on shopping trips, hair, and cash transferred to Nigeria. Wire transfers made to Nigeria totaling $223,000 were also made from a Meg's Discount Pharmacy account with JPMorgan Chase between November 2011 and December 2012."It's still an ongoing investigation," Grelle said.Each count is listed as a felony.

Franklin County Sheriff Announces Bid For Columbus Mayor
Franklin County Sheriff Zach Scott said, Wednesday, he will run for Mayor of Columbus next year.
There's some good news for Ohio motorists – at least for the moment, they're now paying the lowest gasoline prices in the country.
The Ohio Civil Rights Commission proposes a 12-week pregnancy and maternity leave.
Friday's fatal news helicopter crash has newsrooms and other agencies around the country looking at their own policies. WOSU takes a look at the policies of the Columbus Police Helicopter Unit and two local TV stations.
Learning fractions in elementary school can be pretty traumatic but for all the gnashing of teeth, it turns out children are intuitively better than adults at comparing fractions. This ability comes from a youthful misperception of how numbers are spaced. In one context the misperception turns out to be helpful.
Oftentimes, when someone suffers from serious mental illness in Columbus, they're forced to wait for access to an in-patient hospital bed. Numbers cited by the Alcohol, Drug Addiction, and Mental Health Board in Frankllin County show Columbus trails both Cincinnati and Cleveland in the number of beds available for mental patients.

Bette Midler pays homage to girl groups on her upcoming album It's The Girls due in stores November 4. The 68-year-old icon covers classics made famous by The Shirelles, The Supremes and Martha and the Vandellas to name a few.
We've heard her pretty faithful rendition of The Ronettes' '60s classic "Be My Baby" already. Today, we get to check out her take on "Waterfalls." Why did she pick the TLC smash to cover? Here's what she recently told Billboard magazine.
"'Waterfalls' was a heartbreaker, especially if you were a mom, and it had a big effect on me," Midler said. "I never thought I would have the nerve to sing it, but we had an idea for it that works, and I am so glad I took the chance."
"Waterfalls" is by far the most contemporary song appearing on her latest LP. Unfortunately, she didn't include any Destiny's Child or Spice Girls in the mix. Even more unfortunate, Midler opts out of doing Left Eye's rap on her cover. BOO!!!. I'd kill to see the Divine Miss M rap her little heart out. Check out the track below which premiered over at The Advocate.
The legends are certainly representing this year. Barbra Streisand released her Partners LP to much success. Tony Bennett teamed up with Lady Gaga for a new album which also hit the top of the charts. Aretha Franklin is also getting in the game with Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics, due out October 21.
Bette Midler is taking a similar approach to Franklin, but instead of paying homage to divas, the Divine Miss M is putting girl groups in the spotlight. It's The Girls hits stores on November 4 and it's her first album in eight years.
The 68-year-old icon covers classics made famous by The Shirelles, The Supremes and Martha and the Vandellas to name a few. For the most part, the acts she's chosen are pretty old school with exception to TLC which is by far the most contemporary. Too bad, she didn't include Destiny's Child or Spice Girls in the mix.
The first track off the LP has been released. Bette covers The Ronettes' '60s classic "Be My Baby." Overall, it's a pretty faithful rendition. Give it a listen below.
Cheryl Cole who simply goes by Cheryl these days drops her fourth studio album titled Only Human on November 10. The 31-year-old is in hardcore promotional mode in hopes of scoring solid first week sales. More power to ya gurrrrrl!!!
In the past week, she's released the music video for the breezy upbeat "I Don't Care" and the electro ballad title track "Only Human." Now comes an out of left field cover of TLC's empowering "Unpretty" mashed with Beyonce's "Pretty Hurts."
The result is neither here nor there for me. I like Cheryl, but don't think the vocals are on point with her acoustic rendition. Watch it below and see if you agree with my thoughts. I've also added Cheryl's recently released new tracks off Only Human as well. Enjoy.
After all this time, I finally know why I love Kylie Minogue. We apparently have the same taste in music. The 45-year-old Aussie compiled an extremely listenable playlist titled "Back To Mine" for Rdio.com. "Lovers of the world unite for this exclusive Rdio playlist of romantic gems handpicked by Kylie herself," writes the website.
Her picks include classic 90s R&B tracks from Janet Jackson, TLC and surprisingly Hi-Five. The out-of-nowhere latter selection really pleases me. The boy band's "I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)" is one of my favorite tracks from that decade.
The "Sexercize" chanteuse also earns some hipster cred with cuts from Grimes, Sky Ferreira and Solange. Minogue even picked a hit from Johnny Depp's former love, Vanessa Paradis. She recorded the campy track, "Joe Le Taxi," when she was only 14-years-old. Check out Kylie's other selections below and weigh in on which of them are your favorites afterward.
The 41th annual American Music Awards took place at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre Live on Sunday night with Mr. Worldwide aka Pitbull hosting. Random choice, right?
Heading into the evening, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis had the most nominations with six. Even though they nabbed two AMAs, Taylor Swift was the big winner of the night. The 23-year-old singer won four awards – Artist of the Year, Favorite Country Female Artist, Favorite Pop/Rock Female Artist, and Favorite Country Album for Red. It was her third time winning the year's top prize!
The top male dog was Justin Timberlake who walked away with three statues. Other multiple winners were One Direction and Rihanna. The AMAs bestowed the latter with their first ever Icon Award which was presented to her by her mom. Adorable.
With regards to performances, Lady Gaga in my opinion stole the show alongside R. Kelly with their sexually-charged tribute to JFK and Marilyn Monroe. Other memorable highlights include Katy Perry's Japanese-themed "Conditionally" number, DWTS' Maks Chmerkovskiy tossing around J. Lo during her Celia Cruz homage, Miley Cyrus being accompanied by a giant kitty and Christina Aguilera's beautiful duet with A Great Big World.
On the flip side, I was underwhelmed with both Ariana Grande and TLC. The former was fantastic vocally but a tad boring, while the latter served practically zero energy during their "Waterfalls" performance with Lil Mama subbing in for the late Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes. Check out all the performances and winners below.
Did you watch VH1′s CrazySexyCool: The TLC Story? I did and loved it. Boy, did ousted TLC member Crystal Jones and former manager Pebbles get the shaft, especially the latter. She's so incensed with her portrayal she's reportedly contemplating legal action for defamation of character. I'm pretty sure most of her antics were true. Just saying. On a positive note, the cast killed it with their performances. Within minutes, I forgot I was watching actors. Their mannerisms and music video recreations were spot on.
The VH1 biopic scored big for the network. It was the highest-rated original movie on cable television in 2013 with over 4.5 million viewers. In addition, according to SocialGuide, the show was the most-tweeted program on Monday night, generating 1.92 million tweets with the hashtag #CrazySexyCool. Glad to see TLC fans came out in droves.
After the movie ended, the surviving members of the group, Chilli and T-Boz, previewed their new video "Meant To Be." The breezy acoustic ballad is the only new track featured on their latest greatest hits album 20. The ladies just dropped the accompanying visual which features Ne-Yo. Check out the full-length version below.
Is it Christmas and no one told me? Because these are a few of my favorite things all coming together. Cue Julie Andrews ;)
The Saturdays minus Frankie Sanford (I'm assuming she's still on maternity leave) stopped by BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge to promote their current Top 5 UK hit "Disco Love." It's arguably one of my favorite tracks from the British girl group. Reminds me of a camping trip I took this summer.
As part of their two-song acoustic set, Rochelle Humes, Una Healy, Mollie King and Vanessa White performed a mashup of Drake's "Hold On We're Gone Home," TLC's "No Scrubs" and Destiny's Child's "Survivor." The vocals aren't perfect by any means, but if you're a fan, you'll enjoy it. Check out both performances below.
In conjunction with a highly-anticipated biopic, Crazysexycool: The TLC Movie airing on VH1 October 21, the surviving members of TLC are dropping another greatest hits album titled 20. Prior to unveiling the track listing, rumors swirled collaborations with Drake and a Lady Gaga-penned track would appear. As it turns out, the only new track included with their previous hits is one written by Ne-Yo.
"Meant To Be" is a breezy acoustic ballad in the vein of "Unpretty" or "Diggin' On You." Longtime fans of the Atlanta-based girl group will love it. The uplifting jam is exactly what you'd expect from them. I'm sure the track will play at some key moment in the biopic signifying that T-Boz, Left Eye and Chili were in fact, "Meant To Be." Give it a listen below.

Pos Malaysia Berhad is a post services company in Malaysia. The organisation was restructured in 1992 from being a governmental owned Malaysian Postal Services Department or Jabatan Perkhidmatan Pos Malaysia into a business corporation.
Pos Malaysia provides postal and related services, transport logistics, printing and insertion, counter collection and payment agency services for a range of financial transactions, such as bill payments, remittance, insurance and unit trusts.
The company holds an exclusive concession to provide mail services through its network of over 850 branches and mini post offices in Malaysia.
The history of Pos Malaysia Berhad can be traced back to the early 19th century with the establishment of postal services first in the Straits Settlements in which it would cover the whole Malaya by early 20th century.
Letters were then conveyed through dispatch riders or special messengers. Instead of postage stamps, fees were collected when letters were handed in at the Post Office. Letters posted were given a receipt.
The system later changed when the Indian stamps overprinted with crown and Straits' stamps overprinted with dollars and cents were introduced in 1867. The first inaugural definitive set of postage stamps was introduced in 1901.
It was also started as a medium for the transmissions of letters, newspapers and business documents. The postal service soon evolved into a multiple services provider. It began to venture into parcel delivery, registrations, insurance service, transaction of money (postal order and money order) and investment of funds (Post Office Saving Bank).
The postal service, then known as Jabatan Perkhidmatan Pos – Postal Services Department (PSD), also began to take over numerous services on behalf of the Government machineries. It started to collect payment of electricity bill, sale of dog licence, payment of pensions, sale of television licence and others.
Upon being an independent country in 1957, Malaysia began actively participated in numerous international associations to stay abreast in social and economical development. It became a member country of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) on 17 January 1958, a participation in which Malaysia remains a dynamic member until today.
In 1992, Pos Malaysia Berhad was corporatised from the PSD. In September 2001, Pos Malaysia Berhad was listed on the then Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (now known as Bursa Malaysia Berhad) through a reverse takeover of a Philio Allied Berhad assuming its listing status. Pos Malaysia Berhad is separated into four main Strategic Business Units called PosMel, PosLaju, PosNiaga and PosLogistik. In 2009, Pos Malaysia restructured its core services into three Strategic Business Units – PosMel, PosLaju and PosNiaga – and the logistics arm will be supporting the delivery operations of the core services.
Strategic Business Units[edit]
PosMel offers basic postal services which include standard and non-standard mail items. The postal service continues to reinvent itself to produce various innovative products and services in relation to market needs, which cater to both retail and corporate customers.
PosLaju provides domestic courier service and international courier service through its 50 dedicated courier centres, supported by Pos Malaysia's retail network. PosLaju also provides value-added services to complement its express services such as pick up service, insurance package,packaging solutions and web-based tracking.
PosNiaga with its over 1000 network of outlets, including normal post offices, mini post offices, postal and stamp agents offer various services and products ranging from philatelic products, bill payments,financial products and services as well as online transaction services through PostMe.com.my.
New Postal Tariff[edit]
Pos Malaysia announced its new Postal Tariff on 1 July 2010.[2] This is the first time for Pos Malaysia to revise the price of its domestic postage stamps in 18 years since its corporatisation in 1992.
Postal organisations around the world adjust their postage price on a periodic basis due to a variety of factors such as inflation, price of fuel, rising operation costs and use the funds to reinvest in technology and people.
The implementation of the new Postal Tariff is also in line with the Government's announcement for Pos Malaysia to adjust the salary structure of the postmen and counter clerks. The purpose of the restructuring is to ensure that the salary and related allowances for postal staff are at least at par with the level obtained by Government servants. Currently, the salary for postmen is 19% lower than the salary for Government workers at the same level.
The restructuring of the salaries would be a positive morale boost for the operations staff, improving their productivity and commitment towards providing better quality of service.
