GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Loree's Seafood and Steakhouse is truly a family affair - Momma Sue, daughters and sons, aunts and uncles, boyfriends, and even the grandpa worked hard to open historic Main Street's newest restaurant. Located at Dolce Vita's old spot, 336 Main St., Loree's now serves breakfast (Saturday and Sunday only), lunch and dinner."Loree is a family name," Laurie Hamon said of the restaurant's chosen moniker. "It's a middle name used across four generations."Laurie is the daughter of Sue Hamon, the owner of both Loree's and the established Garfield's Restaurant & Pub, located at 2148 Broadway.Her mom, Sue, started working at Garfield's the year it opened in 1986, Laurie added. Sue bought Garfield's last May, and family members and extended family now work at both restaurants.Loree's menu is similar to Garfield's, with some key differences -the bar menu and an expanded lunch menu. And, like Garfield's, Loree's is meant to be a place for folks to celebrate special occasions."We're really excited to be open and a part of the community on Main Street," another family member, Lorena (pronounced 'Loree-na') Gambill-Maddox, said.The new restaurant is set up similarly to the old Dolce Vita (which recently closed), in that it has indoor and outdoor seating, a bar area, a large dining room and an atrium. The restaurant has been freshened and renovated, too."The atrium can be used for big parties, company dinners and prom," Laurie noted.A grand opening celebration will be scheduled after Loree's receives its liquor license (which is still pending and will likely be approved in the first week of April).Once the liquor license is in place, Laurie said she hopes the bar and restaurant will become a popular weekend hangout for a young, late-night crowd."We're going to try that out," she said.

K-Swiss Campaign Writer Gets 'Eastbound & Down' Gig
So, by now, we're sure most of you are aware of the 72andSunny-created Kenny Powers/K-Swiss campaign that's been lighting up the interwebs. Well, the campaign, which officially launches tonight during the ESPY's (which K-Swiss is a sponsor of), has proven to be a boon for its writer, Matt Heath, who sources familiar with the matter say will be involved with the writing team on season three of HBO's Eastbound & Down, which just may be the last one and of course stars Kenny Powers himself, Danny McBride. Nice one and from what we're hearing, Heath still has a gig at 72andSunny. Check out a few more spots including the now-famous CEO ad along with credits after the jump.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Any ideas for a house rule to allow characters to at least start with armor, if not a steed?
A longsword, shield, mail, and a garron costs 1070ss. I'm thinking of letting lowborn characters just spend 1200ss to equip themselves however they see fit, within reason. Highborn characters can take the higher of this, or a Status result in gold dragons.
Legate wrote:I am not so sure of this. From what was shown on the series most of the low born members of the Watch were outfitted with either leather or at most splint armour. Only the more seinor members were shown wearing mail and above.

Conway resident arrested for three counts of tax charges
Columbia, SC (August 15, 2012) --- SC Department of Revenue (SCDOR) investigators today arrested a woman for one count of forgery, one count of assisting in the preparation of a false return and one count of conspiracy.
Connie Livingston, 29, was taken to the Horry County Detention Center and if convicted of the charges, could face penalties of up to $5,500 in fines and/or 15 years in prison.
During the SCDOR investigation of her 2011 tax returns, Livingston admitted to providing her tax preparer with a fraudulent W2 tax form in order to have her income tax return prepared; Livingston also did not work for the employer listed. The 2011 return was submitted in which Livingston requested a state refund of $567, to which she was not entitled.
The investigation revealed that Livingston and another individual conspired to commit the offense of willfully assisting in the preparation of a false income tax return. Livingston was advised of the tax scam by another individual, and this individual provided Livingston with the fraudulent W-2 tax form for a fee.

Eardrum repair refers to one or more surgical procedures that are done to correct a tear or other damage to the eardrum (tympanic membrane).
Ossiculoplasty is the repair of the small bones in the middle ear.
Most patients (and all children) receive general anesthesia
. This means they are asleep and pain-free.
The surgeon will make a cut behind the ear or inside the ear canal.
Depending on what needs to be done, the surgeon will:
The surgeon will use an operating microscope to view and repair the eardrum or the small bones.
Myringoplasty; Tympanoplasty; Ossiculoplasty; Ossicular reconstruction; Tympanosclerosis - surgery; Ossicular discontinuity - surgery; Ossicular fixation - surgery
The eardrum (tympanic membrane) is between the outer ear and the middle ear. The eardrum vibrates when sound waves strike it. When the eardrum is damaged or has a hole in it, hearing may be reduced and ear infections may be more likely.
Causes of holes or openings in the eardrum include:
If the eardrum has a fairly small hole, myringoplasty may work to close it. Most of the time, your doctor will wait at least 6 weeks after the eardrum developed a hole before suggesting surgery.
Tympanoplasty may be done if:
These same problems can also harm the very small bones (ossicles) that are right behind the eardrum. If this happens, your surgeon may perform an ossiculoplasty.
Risks for any surgery are:
Other risks include:
Always tell the doctor or nurse:
On the day of the surgery (for children):
On the day of the surgery (for adults):
Patients usually leave the hospital the same day as the surgery.
Until your doctor or nurse says it is okay:
Gently wipe away any ear drainage on the outside of the ear. You may get ear drops the first week. Do not put anything else into the ear.
There are sometimes stitches behind the ear. If they become wet, gently dry the area. Do not rub.
You or your child may feel pulsing, or hear popping, clicking, or other sounds in the ear. The ear may feel full or as if it is filled with liquid. You may notice sharp, shooting pains off and on soon after the surgery.
To avoid catching a cold, stay away from crowded places and people with cold symptoms.
In most cases, the procedure relieves pain and infection symptoms completely. Hearing loss is minor.
The outcome may not be as good if the bones in the middle ear need to be reconstructed, along with the eardrum.

WASHINGTON - Now that the holiday season is in full swing, there are plenty of festive concert events scheduled in the D.C. region.
The holidays also bring an uptick in charitable events.
D.C. music venue 9:30 Club is midway through its annual charity raffle, which will benefit local non-profit organizations dedicated to helping feed and clothe those in need.
Through Dec. 31, anyone who donates new or clean clothes, a canned food item or makes a donation of $5 at the 9:30 Club box office will be given a raffle ticket for the chance to win two tickets to concert at the venue for a year.
There is a maximum of 10 raffle tickets given per night per person, and the winner will be drawn at the New Year's Eve show featuring The Drive-By Truckers with North Mississippi Allstars Duo.
The raffle has naturally become a favorite among the music-obsessed.
Todd Savitch, who won in 2006, donated 10 items each day in December for a total of 310 raffle tickets.
"I was a little obsessed with the prize and donated pretty much every day," he says. "I had family and friends donate through me as well."
Savitch says he attended 166 concerts at the 9:30 Club the year following his big win.
Valerie Nannery, 2007 winner, blogged about the more than 100 concerts she attended.
In addition to events such as the 9:30 Club charity raffle, there are numerous holiday concerts scheduled in the coming weeks.
Here are some of this weekend's highlights:
Sunday, Dec. 16
The Choral Arts Society of Washington will perform "A Family Christmas" at the Kennedy Center. The afternoon performance will feature stories and songs that children will love and will feature special appearances by Santa, Frosty and Rudolph.
The Strathmore is hosting the "Family Christmas Sing-Along." The concert is led by Grammy Award-winning music instructor Betty Scott and folk duo The Sweater Set.

I like em short and tall, but then its more of a guyto than a petty
On this I like the heel of shigefusa far better .)
I have to say that I find thin knives (or lasers as some call them) as a trend, and trends by definition won't last. If properly ground, a well made mid-thickness knife (3.5-2.5mm at the handle) will cut just as well as a thin knife, will flex less and feel less flimsy in a hand.
This is a direction I am taking with my knives. Not for a lack of skill, mind you, but for the fact that I think a sturdy knife is a better knife.
"If theres something worth doing, its worth overdoing. - An US saying.
If my KKF Inbox is full (or not), please contact me via Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
totally agree with your statement Marko. it's more about how the knife grind behind the edge, geometry, and good profile.
I just finished up a Japanese style 155mm blade and it is around 2.3 mm above the heel. It was fully hardened to about 1/2 inch behind the shoulders and straight tapered from the heel forward and it is still fairly stiff.

Acapulco, Mexico (CNN) -- Six suspects arrested and accused of raping a group of Spanish tourists in a Mexican resort city have confessed, a top official said Wednesday.
Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam declared the case "resolved," although one suspect remains at large.
"There are already six arrests, confessed, totally confessed the full story of what happened, and we need only to arrest one more person identified in this process," he said. "The case is solved."
The allegations last week grabbed headlines across Mexico and around the globe. Authorities said hooded gunmen stormed into a beach bungalow in the Pacific port of Acapulco and attacked a group of Spanish tourists, raping six women and tying up a group of men with cell phone cables and bikini straps.
Rape case in Mexican resort city puts violence back in spotlight
Investigators have not yet determined whether the suspects arrested, one of whom is 16 years old and thus a minor, are part of a gang, Murillo Karam said. They also have not confirmed whether the suspects met the victims days before the attack, something local authorities had alleged.
One suspect was arrested Tuesday and five others were arrested Wednesday morning "after a very serious investigation," he said. All six have confessed, he said.
Authorities in Acapulco had announced the detention of several people over the weekend, but those arrests had nothing to do with the case, Murillo Karam said Wednesday.
The high-profile case in the resort city last week was a sharp reminder of significant security problems in a state that has seen violence surge even as homicide numbers in other hot spots across Mexico have started to dip. It drew renewed attention to topics that Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto had steered out of the spotlight since he took office in December.
CNNMexico.com, journalist Salomon Kaufman, Laura Reyes, and CNN's Jessica King, Alexander Hunter, Catherine E. Shoichet and Michael Martinez contributed to this report.

Calvin Klein, Piers Morgan and The Newsroom's Emily Mortimer
It was a dizzying scene at Michael's today. Fashion A-listers (Calvin Klein, Grace Coddington), talking heads (Piers Morgan) and the random television star (The Newsroom's Emily Mortimer) provided some serious people watching for the mere mortals in the dining room.
Before the crowd rushed in, I caught up with Bravolebrity Lori Zaslow in the ladies room (What can I say? I go where the news takes me ) who just wrapped her first season of Love Broker. Lori, who was with her business partner Jenn Zucher, tells me the show brought plenty of new clients looking for their soul mates and some great new business opportunities, including her new 'love oil' called Gravitate which is sold at Exhale Spa and a few select boutiques around town. "The show was a great experience and some great new things came our way as a result of the exposure," Lori told me. She'll be Katie Couric's guest on her new talk show on October 5. Will there be a season two of Love Broker? As they
say, stay tuned.
I was joined today by publishing powerhouse Andrew Amill, vice president of Weight Watchers Media Group. As a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, I've always found the plan works when you work it, and I love the weekly meetings which always have such an empowering, fun vibe. While their campaign with Jennifer Hudson (one of the greatest transformations ever!) has been a resounding success, Andy tells me that despite all the snipping in the tabloids about the company's newest spokeswoman Jessica Simpson (who was Katie Couric's guest on her show's premiere) is also doing great on the plan. Her first commercial touting her shedding her post-baby weight just hit the airwaves and her big 'reveal' will come in December. She'll also be the cover girl for WeightWatchers Magazine's January/February issue. "Both Jennifer and Jessica resonate with our members," says Andy. Charles Barkley, who is the face and (newly slimmed down) body for the men's program has given the company's a "100 percent bump" on the men's site.
Andy tells me weightwatchers.com is the fastest growing part of the company (6.2 million monthly uniques and 250 million page views) as the powers that be add more and more interactive features that keep members plugged into the program whereever they go. Later this year, a bar code scanner for smart phones will be introduced that will allow users to scan the UPC code of any supermarket food item and immediately get its point value. The perfect antidote to temptation, no doubt. "The technology the company has created that allows members to stay connected and motivated is outstanding," says Andy. Read more

NCLB Update (http://www.nochildleftbehind.gov/)
On June 23, five urban school officials testified before the House of Representatives' Committee on Education and the Workforce that the No Child Left Behind Act is having a positive impact on student achievement in the nation's inner-city schools.
Michael Casserly, executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools, cited data from the Council's annual "Beating the Odds" report, which shows improving reading and math test scores for students in 61 big city school districts in 37 states. "We should no longer worry about whether student achievement can be raised," he said. "It clearly can be. The question now is, 'How fast?'"
Eric Smith, superintendent of Anne Arundel County (MD) Public Schools, discussed how NCLB has "transformed the debate about public education...from one about the lack of student achievement and issues beyond the control of schools and school systems to one about using research-proven strategies to ensure that each child can read, compute, and write on grade level." For example, he continued, "Some might think it is great that nearly two-thirds of the county's third-graders were proficient in reading [last year], but it highlighted that more than one-third of our third-graders were basic in reading.... This is something that we were able to focus on and improve." In 2004, 78.5 percent of the county's third-graders were proficient.
Philadelphia School District superintendent Paul Vallas stressed the importance of disaggregating test score data to determine if the achievement gap is closing. "With this recognition comes our obligation to provide whatever resources we have to correct this historic imbalance, and the structure of the [No Child Left Behind] Act provides districts with the opportunity to do so." Indeed, over the past two years, the district has "aggressively implemented" public school choice, supplemental educational services, corrective action plans, and the recruitment of highly qualified teachers.
Marcus Newsome, superintendent of Newport News (VA) Public Schools, also addressed the achievement gap, highlighting his district's An Achievable Dream Academy. The academy, a public school supported by private businesses, has the highest poverty index in the city yet has closed the achievement gap and exceeded all expectations. "We can not expect schools to be great unless we expect government to be great," he concluded, "and communities, businesses, churches, and families to be great as well. It takes all of us to close these achievement gaps."
Margaret Raymond, director of the Center for Research on Education Outcomes at the Hoover Institution (Stanford University), presented evidence that "introducing accountability systems into a state tends to lead to larger achievement growth than would have occurred without accountability...and that the force of accountability comes from attaching consequences to school performance."
For witness testimony, please go to http://edworkforce.house.gov/hearings/108th/fc/
Meanwhile, the Department has issued proposed regulations on testing requirements for students with limited English proficiency. The regulations mirror Secretary Paige's February announcement, granting states and school districts greater flexibility, but provide additional details on how the provisions will be implemented. The deadline for comments is August 9. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/legislation/FedRegister/proprule/2004-2/062404a.html.
Kiwanis Partnership
Last week, Secretary Paige and Kiwanis President-Designate Case Van Kleef announced the "Take the Lead in Preparing America's Future" partnership -- a campaign to further engage the business community in the agency's efforts to ensure students are prepared to succeed in postsecondary education and the workforce. As part of the effort, Kiwanis clubs across the country will work within their communities to create and support mentoring and tutoring programs and share their business knowledge and experiences with students and teachers. The term "Kiwanis" comes from an expression in an American Indian language of the Detroit area, "Nunc Kee-wanis," which means, "we trade" or "we share our talents." For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/pressreleases/2004/06/06252004.html.
Also: At the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Committee of 100 meeting, the Secretary expanded on the linkage between the quality of education and U.S. economic success, asking top business leaders for their continued support. For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/news/speeches/2004/06/06282004.html.
Technology Plan
Want to know more about the National Education Technology Plan? In a series of streaming video clips, Susan Patrick, Director of the Office of Educational Technology, outlines the purpose of the plan and the steps taken by the Department to solicit input from students. Over 200,000 students provided feedback online. The plan is scheduled for release in late summer. For more information, please go to http://doe.unitedstreaming.com.
Facts About Funding
In an revised brochure, the agency summarizes 10 facts about K-12 education funding, including:
- The federal share of K-12 spending has risen very quickly, especially in recent years. In 1990-91, the federal share of total K-12 spending was just 5.7 percent. Since that time, it has risen by more than one-third to 8.2 percent. Further, the historic federal funding increases since 2001 are only now reaching into the classroom.
- Total education funding has increased substantially in recent years at all levels of government, even when accounting for enrollment increases and inflation. National K-12 education spending has increased 101 percent since 1990-91, 48 percent since 1996-97, and 22 percent since the 1999-2000 school year. When this is calculated on a per-pupil basis and is adjusted for inflation, funding has increased seven percent in the last three years for which data is available, 15 percent over five years, and 21 percent over ten years.
- Federal funding for two main federal K-12 programs will increase $9.3 billion since 2001 under the President's proposed budget for fiscal year 2005. Sixty-three percent of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary and secondary school funds would go to help schools with economically disadvantaged students (ESEA, Title I) and to support children with disabilities (IDEA, Part B). If the President's FY 2005 request is enacted, the increases in these programs will have substantially exceeded any previous increases since their creation.
For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/about/overview/fed/10facts/. (Hard copies of the brochure are available from ED PUBS at http://www.edpubs.org/.)
Sexual Misconduct
At the request of Congress, the Department contracted with Charol Shakeshaft of Hofstra University for a literature review of, among other items, the incidence and prevalence of sexual abuse, patterns of sexual misbehavior, and prevention strategies. The best estimate? Nearly one in 10 students faces some type of misconduct, from inappropriate jokes to forced sex. "The overwhelming majority of America's educators are true professionals doing what might be called the 'essential' work of democracy," states the preface. "Nevertheless, we must be willing to confront the issues that are explored in this study. We must all expand our efforts to ensure that children have safe and secure learning environments that engender public confidence." For more information, please go to http://www.ed.gov/rschstat/research/pubs/misconductreview/.
Notable Reports
At least three more reports deserve mention this two-week period. First, a new National Center for Education Statistics paper documents the growth between 1979 and 1999 in the number and percentage of youth and young adults who speak languages other than English at home (http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2004/2004009.pdf). Second, according to the Census Bureau, the U.S. population is becoming more educated, but significant differences in educational attainment remain with regard to age, sex, and race/national origin (http://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/p20-550.pdf). Third, after reviewing thousands of studies, the What Works Clearinghouse has released a series of studies evaluating the evidence of effectiveness on middle school mathematics curricula and peer-assisted learning interventions (http://w-w-c.org/).
Quote to Note
"Education may be the industry upon which all others depend. A thriving national and international economic policy is dependent on sound national educational policy. Together, you and I can help transform our educational system. We can help make it better. We can work with superintendents, teachers, and parents to make sure every single child receives a quality education."
Secretary of Education Rod Paige (6/28/04)
Upcoming Events
Here is the remaining schedule for Teacher-to-Teacher Initiative summer workshops: Pittsburgh (July 6-8), Orlando (July 12-14), Anaheim (July 21-23), St. Louis (July 28-30), and Boston (August 2-4). Registration is closed, but all workshop materials will be made available through the web site below. The Research-to-Practice Summit is slated for July 20, by invitation only.
